GENERAL
SUBJECT
:
PACs
at
Tar
Sites
TOPICS
DISCUSSED
AND
ACTION
TAKEN
I
called
Mr.
Rutledge
to
discuss
the
PACs
reported
as
discharged
in
the
2000
TRI.
He
said
that
he
monitors
quarterly
for
benzo(
a)
anthracene,
benzo(
a)
pyrene,
benzo(
k)
fluoranthene,
and
3,4­
benzofluoranthene.
The
first
two
parameters
are
monitored
at
the
internal
outfall,
and
the
latter
two
are
monitored
from
an
outfall
that
contains
a
lot
of
storm
water.
He
didn't
know
about
2000,
but
in
2002
(
December),
all
the
compounds
were
tested
BDL
(<
5
ppb),
except
for
chloroform,
which
measured
at
10
ppb.
He
said
he
wasn't
sure
why
they
even
monitored
for
chloroform
since
they
don't
use
it
in
their
process.
Mr.
Rutledge
uses
consultants
to
complete
his
annual
TRI
forms,
and
he
was
not
sure
how
the
consultants
calculated
the
2000
TRI
releases,
but
they
could
have
been
based
on
concentrations
BDL.

I
asked
him
about
his
products,
and
he
explained
that
they
use
coal
tar
feedstock
from
coke
plants,
which
they
put
through
a
still.
The
bottoms
are
recovered
and
sold
as
industrial
pitches,
phenols,
and
anodes
for
primary
aluminum
manufacturers.
They
also
recover
creosote
and
naphthalene
as
by
products.
