Re:
information
request
on
the
LaundryESP
initiative
Carey,

Attached
you
will
find
the
requested
summary.
I
hope
it
is
on
point.

We
are
in
the
middle
of
our
database
QA,
so
we
will
not
have
any
preliminary
data
analysis
until
late
November.
We
plan
to
rollout
the
program's
results
in
March
of
2004.
It
is
still
our
hope
to
have
the
Agency
involved
during
this
phase.

If
you
have
any
questions
please
contact
me.

Dear
David:

I
t
would
be
great
if
you
could
please
send
in
a
summary
within
three
to
four
weeks.
Please
note
that
at
this
time
we
are
not
contemplating
the
textile
supply
and
service
industry
as
an
industry
requiring
an
ELG.
You
are
not
required
to
send
us
a
summary
but
it
helps
us
make
a
better
case
for
our
record.
It
would
be
helpful
if
you
could
highlight
the
estimated
number
of
facilities
participating
(
both
in
actual
numbers
of
facilities
and
by
production)
and
the
results
of
your
P2
program
to
reduce
energy
and
water
usage
and
pollutant
loadings
and
toxicity.

Thanks!

Sincerely,

Re:
information
request
on
the
LaundryESP
initiative
Carey,

We
appreciate
the
Agency's
interest
and
we
are
more
than
willing
to
provide
you
with
the
information
you
have
requested.
That
is
as
long
as
it
doesn't
lead
to
a
new
ELG
for
the
textile
supply
and
service
industry
;­)

When
do
you
need
a
summary?
We
have
just
begun
to
finalize
plans
for
the
rollout
of
the
Program's
results
(
currently
scheduled
for
March
'
04)
and
I
have
nothing
in
the
box
ready
to
send
at
this
moment.
I'm
also
out
of
town
for
most
of
next
week.
Is
there
anything
specific
you
are
looking
for
in
the
summary?

Nevertheless,
I
can
tell
you
right
now
that
we
are
proud
of
how
far
LaundryESP
has
come
since
September
1999
and
very
excited
about
our
plans
for
the
next
six
months.

I
t
was
quite
a
coincidence
that
Marta
called
me
last
week
because
we
had
just
been
discussing
how
the
Agency
could
become
reinvolved
with
the
Program.
One
idea
involves
the
participation
of
EPA
upper
management
at
the
Program's
official
rollout
press
conference
in
March.
We
are
looking
for
the
Agency's
input
as
to
how
we
can
begin
the
process
of
investigating
this
and
other
mutually
beneficial
opportunities
that
can
be
generated
by
rollout
of
the
LaundryESP
results.

Thanks.

Dear
Mr.
Dunlap:

My
colleague,
Marta
Jordan,
forwarded
your
name
to
me
and
I
hope
you
may
be
able
to
help
with
an
update
on
the
LaundryESP
initiative.
I
am
the
project
manager
for
the
technology­
based
effluent
guidelines
planning
process
(
see
www.
epa.
gov/
guide/
plan.
html).
As
you
may
be
aware,
we
are
required
by
Section
304(
m)
of
the
CWA
to
biennially
evaluate
sources
of
pollution
for
potential
technology­
based
standards.
I
would
like
to
highlight
for
our
record
the
recent
progress
by
the
LaundryESP
initiative
to
reduce
energy
and
water
usage
and
pollutant
loadings
and
toxicity.
Please
let
me
know
if
you
can
send
me
a
short
summary
(
a
few
pages)
of
the
program
and
its
current
and
future
status.
I
will
use
this
information
to
document
these
voluntary
pollution
prevention
activities.
Please
let
me
know
if
you
have
any
questions.
Thank
you
for
your
help.
Sincerely,

Carey
