General
Subject
Discussion
of
June

Memorandum
Regarding
Minimum
Monitoring
Requirements.

TOPICS
DISCUSSED
AND
ACTION
TAKEN
EPA,
through
an
information
collection
request
(
ICR)
solicited
comment
on
monitoring
requirements
and
burden
of
information
collection.

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
at
several
Phase
I
mills.
The
memorandum
and
four
attachments
were
forwarded
to
ERG.

I
contacted
Amy
Schaffer
(
Weyerhaeuser's
Federal
Regulatory
Affairs
Manager)
to
discuss
two
statements
made
in
the
Weyerhaeuser
attachment
to
the
Jerry
Schwartz
memorandum.
I
explained
to
Amy
Schaffer
that
I
was
confused
by
two
statements.
First:
"
In
no
instance
did
the
daily
maximum
monitoring
show
the
effluent
to
be
above
the
effluent
limitation."

PCS
data
not
agree.
The
monthly
data
showed
that
the
Columbus
Pulp
and
Paper
Complex
in
Mississippi
reported
a
single
chlorinated
phenolic
compound
measurement
of
121
ug/
L
at
the
Bleach
Plant
Effluent
to
Sewer
System
(
DSCH:
003)
on
12/
31/
04
(
pentachlorophenol;
PRAM:
39032).
Amy
Schaffer,
after
discussing
the
data
with
her
contacts
at
the
mill,
replied
that
the
detected
chlorinated
phenolic
compound
reported
in
PCS
was
an
error.
For
the
past
several
months
the
mill
has
been
working
with
the
state
to
remove
that
error.
All
corrections
have
been
made
to
the
detailed
study
report.

Contunied
below:

Signature:
I
also
explained
PCS
monthly
data
shows
a
second
mill
(
Port
Wentworth)
with
elevated
chlorinated
phenolic
compounds:
3,4,5­
trichlorocatechol
(
PRAM:
73037)
and
3,4,6­
trichloroguaiacol
(
PRAM:
51022
at
the
Bleach
Plant
Effluent
(
DSCH:
006).
The­
reported
concentrations
are
1,000
times
the
method
ML,
the
units
reported
to
PCS
may
be
incorrect.
Amy
Schaffer
forwarded
the
questions
to
her
contacts
at
the
mill.
As
of
August
8th
no
response
has
been
received
from
Amy
Schaffer
or
Port
Wentworth
mill
representatives.

I
explained
to
Amy
Schaffer
that
a
second
statement
in
the
memorandum
also
had
me
confused:
"
Weyerhaeuser
Company
has
three
pulp
and
paper
mills
that
are
subject
to
EPA's
Cluster
Rule..."

Amy
Schaffer
explained
that
three
mills
permits
include
all
Cluster
Rules
monitoring
requirements
(
Columbus,
MS;
New
Bern;
NC;
and
Longview,
WA).
All
other
Weyerhaeuser
mills,
that
do
not
yet
have
final
permits
which
include
Cluster
Rules
limits,
but
have
been
pro­
actively
monitoring
for
Cluster
Rule
pollutants
and
meeting
the
guidelines.
Results
of
monitoring
that
is
not
required
by
NPSES
permits
not
necessarily
submitted
to
PCS.
