Don
Anderson
(
EPA/
EAD)
received
a
submittal
from
Jerry
Schwartz
of
AF&
PA
to
the
EPA
Docket
Control
Center.
This
memorandum
presents
the
monitoring
data
from
several
Phase
I
mills.
The
memorandum
and
four
attachments
were
forwarded
to
ERG.

Three
attachments
were
memoranda
from
AF&
PA
member
companies
(
International
Paper
(
IP),
Weyerhaeuser,
MeadWestvaco)
explaining
that
at
mills
where
Cluster
Rules
have
been
implemented,
based
on
PCS
data,
only
one
exceedance
for
those
regulated
pollutants
has
occurred
(
i.
e.,
an
IP
mill
detected
a
single
chlorinated
phenolic
compound
on
6/
12/
00).

ERG,
while
confirming
the
statement,
discovered
an
error
in
PCS.
PCS
showed
that
a
chlorinated
phenolic
compound
was
detected
at
the
Weyerhaeuser
mill
in
Columbus
MS.
Through
communications
with
Amy
Schaffer
(
Weyerhaeuser's
Federal
Regulatory
Affairs
Manager)
it
was
discovered
that
the
Weyerhaeuser
is
chlorinated
phenolic
compound
detect
was
an
error.
All
corrections
have
been
made
to
the
detailed
study
report.

The
fourth
attachment
is
a
memo
from
Glatfelter
Co
explaining
that
their
mill
is
in
the
VATIP
program
(
there
had
been
some
confusion
about
count
of
VATIP
mills
at
the
April
5,
2005
meeting).

Signature:
The
AF&
PA
memo
refers
to
Enclosure
I.
Mr.
Schwartz
clarified
that
Enclosure
I
is
the
May
2,
2005
memo
from
AF&
PA
which
includes
the
individual
letters
from
mills
to
NCASI
discussing
errors
in
PCS
database
and
TRI
basis
of
measurements.

Mr.
Schwartz
explained
that
the
statement
on
page
2
of
the
memo
is
an
error:
"
As
indicated
in
Enclosure
I,
based
on
corrected
Permit
Compliance
System
(
PCS)
data,
there
were
no
discharges
of
dioxin
in
calendar
year
2002,
the
year
for
which
the
analysis
was
conducted."

Mr.
Schwartz
forgot
that
the
Bowater
Catawba
TCDD
discharge
was
confirmed
by
the
mill
and
reiterated
that
the
mill
technology
has
changed
significantly
since
then
and
since
that
date
no
load
has
been
measured
above
the
Method
1613B
detection
limit
(
10
pg/
L).
Mr.
Schwartz
said
he
would
contact
Lynn
Zipf
(
EPA/
OW)
and
Jim
Laity
(
OMB)
to
explain
his
error.
