GENERAL
SUBJECT
:
Copper
in
Wastewater
Discharges
from
the
Printing
and
Publishing
Industry
TOPICS
DISCUSSED
AND
ACTION
TAKEN
I
called
Ms.
Diane
Potts
to
discuss
the
sources
of
copper
in
printing
and
publishing
wastewater
discharges.
Quebecor
World
Atglen
Division
is
one
of
the
top
5
copper
dischargers
based
on
information
from
the
TRI
database.

Ms.
Potts
explained
that
copper
is
released
into
wastewater
discharge
primarily
from
the
copper
and
chrome
plating
baths.
Quebecor
plates
their
own
printing
cyldinders.
She
also
informed
me
that
concentrations
of
copper
in
the
wastewater
are
measured
via
lab
analysis
of
actual
wastewater
samples.

Ms.
Potts
estimated
wastewater
discharges
from
the
metals
pretreatment
system
to
be
approximately
2,000
gallons
per
week;
and
from
the
entire
plant
to
be
25,000
gallons
per
day.
Due
to
the
high
wastewater
volume
from
the
entire
plant,
the
copper
concentration
in
the
pretreatment
effluent
gets
significantly
diluted.

Quebecor
performs
rotogravure
and
lithographic
offset
printing.
