SUBJECT

Sodium
Nitrite
Releases
Reported

in

TOPICS
DISCUSSED
AND
ACTION
TAKEN
On
Friday
June
24,
2005
I
called
Mr.
Fecteau
to
ask
about
sodium
nitrite
discharges
reported
to
TRI
in
2002.
Mr.
Fecteau
confirmed
that
Repauno
does
report
direct
discharges
of
sodium
nitrite
to
TRI.
He
explained
that
DuPont
used
to
own
the
plant
but
sold
it
to
Repauno
and
retained
ownership
of
the
land.
Repauno
now
leases
the
land
from
DuPont.
The
NPDES
permit
(
NJ0004219)
is
under
DuPont's
name
and
not
Repauno's,
however,
because
Repauno
is
the
licenced
operator,
the
facility
is
required
to
comply
with
the
limits
in
the
NPDES
permit.
He
further
explained
that
Repauno
discharges
only
non­
contact
cooling
water,
and
this
cooling
water
is
discharged
into
a
ditch
owned
by
DuPont.
Repauno
monitors
for
nitrite
and
submits
monthly
DMRs,
but
Mr.
Fecteau
does
not
know
the
source
of
sodium
nitrite.
He
said
that
he
knows
the
nitrite
concentrations
measured
are
very
small,
but
could
not
give
me
exact
numbers.
He
estimated
in
the
parts
per
million
range.
