Verification

pollutant
discharges
TOPICS
DISCUSSED
AND
ACTION
TAKEN
I
called
Wheeler
Lumber
on
Wednesday,
Jan.
13
to
speak
with
Jeff
Parrett
whose
name
was
listed
as
a
contact
in
the
TRI
database.
Two
issues
were
concerned.
First,
this
facility
does
not
have
any
PCS
permit,
as
it
appears
on
OTIS.
Second,
we
wanted
to
find
out
how
they
calculated
their
Dioxin
discharges,
since
their
facility
was
among
the
top
90%
dischargers
of
pollutants
in
the
Timber
products
industry.
Since
Jeff
Parrett
was
not
available,
a
person
named
Dave
offered
to
answer
my
questions.
Dave
told
me
that
their
facility
discharged
only
storm
water
and
no
process
water.
For
that
reason,
they
hold
a
general
storm
water
permit
issued
by
the
state.
He
said
that
the
permit
is
general
and
not
chemical
specific.
When
I
asked
him
about
their
basis
for
calculation
of
dioxins,
he
mentioned
that
they
have
an
engineering
consultant
who
performs
such
sampling,
measurements
and
calculations
for
them.
He
said
that
reporting
is
done
on
Form
Rs.
