RE: counties not in attainment for Pb NAAQS RIA

Thank you Ron.

--   It sounds as if the Regulator Impact Analysis should include

estimates of the cost of further large scale remediation projects at

Superfund-like sites.  A quick web search suggests that remediation

should have been complete in 1995 in Carbon, PA, for example.  

--  It also sounds as if we now have reason to believe there will be

non-attainment areas outside the known TSP monitoring network.  The

circular a-4 requires that we make best effort at estimating the full

cost and bene of the regulation.  Until now, we have no information

suggesting the locations and magnitude of likely non-attainment areas

outside the current limited monitor network.  Have we already put

together a list of superfund sites in which lead is a contaminant?

--  As for metal processors, haven't we included in the analysis an

estimate of the cost (and air qual improvement) associated with applying

controls to identified metal processors?  They seemed to be well

represented in the data.

Subject: counties not in attainment for Pb NAAQS RIA

Heidi, this morning Kathy offered to share information about what we

know about the sources in the 9 counties which do not attain a 0.15

microgram/m3 standard with identified controls.  The data is shown in

the attached.  In summary:

o     Every county has a metal processing facility, these are largely

small facilities.   Some of which have existing controls (like a

baghouse).  Others do not have control information in the NEI.

o     4 of the counties have known land contamination, 3 of which have

Superfund sites.

We will be happy to discuss these once you have had a chance to review

the enclosed.  Have a good evening.

Ron
