NEI
Facility/

TRI
The
only
data
in
NEI
corresponding
to
3MHutchinson
Tape
Manufacturing
Plant
are
associated
with
lead
emissions;
however,
there
have
to
be
more
(
based
on
the
facility­
reported
percentage
of
emissions
from
magnetic
tape).
Facility
has
indicated
up
to
30
percent
of
emissions
from
magnetic
tape;
applied
30
percent
factor
to
TRI
emissions.

Unable
to
tell
what
other
data
in
the
NEI
might
be
applicable:
Hutchinson
Manufacturing
Inc.?
Hutchinson
Technology
Inc.?
None
of
these
have
the
same
ID
number
as
3M,
however.
No
parameter
data
from
the
facility
We
have
tried
unsuccessfully
in
the
past
to
obtain
emissions
and
parameter
data
from
the
facility
that
they
used
in
their
own
risk
modeling.

Recommendations:

1.
Try
again
to
obtain
risk
modeling
data
from
the
facility.
2.
Failing
that,
try
to
determine
what
other
data
in
the
NEI
might
be
applicable.
3.
Failing
that,
fall
back
on
the
existing
TRI
data
(
with
the
30
percent
factor)
and
use
default
parameters.

Rochester,

1999
NEI
Facility
Includes
a
very
large
amount
of
data
for
this
facility,
and
it
is
impossible
to
determine
which
portion
applies
to
magnetic
tape
(
no
difference
in
SIC
code)
Emissions
data
from
the
facility
are
from
2001
and
are
specific
to
the
magnetic
tape
process
line.

Stack
parameter
data
from
the
facility
are
very
complete
and
specific
to
the
magnetic
tape
process
line.

Recommendations:

1.
Use
facility­
reported
emissions
data
(
up­
to­
date
and
specific
to
the
process).
2.
Use
facility­
reported
parameter
data
(
specific
to
the
process).

Imation
Enterprises
Corp.
­
Weatherford,
OK
­
Based
on
cumulative
emissions
through
November
14,
2001,
the
facility
estimated
that
the
total
VOC
emissions
associated
with
magnetic
tape
manufacturing
operations
were
6.1
out
of
68.8
tons,
which
is
approximately
8.9
percent
of
total
VOC
emissions.

­
The
facility
has
two
primary
divisions:
Color
Technologies
and
Data
Storage.
­
The
Color
Technologies
Division
involves
graphic
arts
products,
and
the
entire
division
(
including
the
building(
s),
process
equipment,
and
process
technology)
was
recently
purchased
by
Kodak
Polychrome
Graphics,
Ltd.
(
a
joint
venture
between
Eastman
Kodak
and
Sun
Chemical
Corporation).
­
The
Data
Storage
Division
is
owned
by
Imation
and
is
located
in
a
separate
building
with
separate
control
device(
s)
and
involves
magnetic
coatings
applied
to
polyester
film
via
a
web
coating
process
to
produce
flexible
media
used
in
diskettes.

­
Based
on
a
review
of
the
NEI
data,
the
processes
related
to
SIC
code
3861
(
Photographic
Equipment
and
Supplies)
most
likely
are
associated
with
the
Color
Technologies
Division,
while
the
processes
related
to
SIC
code
3695
(
Magnetic
and
Optical
Recording
Media)
most
likely
are
associated
with
the
Data
Storage
Division.

­
Therefore,
only
the
NEI
data
for
SIC
code
3695
were
compared
to
the
data
reported
by
the
facility
for
their
magnetic
tape
operation.
This
approach
is
supported
by
the
fraction
of
NEI
emissions
associated
with
SIC
code
3695
(
13
percent
of
the
total),
which
is
comparable
to
the
8.9
percent
estimated
from
the
facility­
reported
data.

NEI
Facility/

Operations
associated
with
SIC
code
3695
at
the
facility
have
mostly
stack
emissions.
The
TRI
indicates
a
mix
of
stack
and
fugitive
emissions
for
the
entire
facility.

Recommendation:

Because
it
is
possible
to
segregate
the
magnetic
tape
NEI
data
from
the
rest
of
the
NEI
data
for
this
plant
and
because
the
NEI
and
TRI
emissions
data
are
so
similar,
recommend
using
the
NEI
data,
supplemented
with
actual
stack
diameter
and
operating
hour
data
reported
by
the
plant.
