Dear Mr. Foster:
Alan W. Klimek. P.E.. Director
Division of Water Quality
Subject: NPDES Permit Issuance
Permit No. NC0029980
Miller Brewing Company
Rockingham County
Division staff have reviewed and approved your application for an NPDES discharge permit.
Accordingly, the Division is forwarding the subject Final NPDES permit. This permit is issued
pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the
Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently amended).
In response to comments submitted by the permittee on the Draft permit, the Division has
taken the following actions in this Final permit:
Outfall 001 (Process Wastewater)
• The effluent limits for BOD and TSS proposed in the Draft permit, which were based on
EPA guidance from 1979, have been revised. Since the 1979 guidance was never
promulgated as federal effluent guidelines, the revised final effluent limits reflect best
professional judgement levels currently achievable by the facility. These revised mass
limits are based on BOD concentrations of 38 mg/1 and 92 mg/1 (for monthly average and
daily max, respectively) and TSS concentrations of 56 mg/1 and 135 mg/1 (for monthly
average and daily max. respectively). In comparison to the previous permit, these new
limits reflect a reduction in BOD of 19% (monthly average load) and 22% (daily max load),
and a reduction in total suspended solids of 15% (monthly average load) and 17% (daily
max load).
In addition, the following items proposed in the Draft permit have been retained in this Final
permit:
Outfall 001 (Process Wastewater)
• Although the permittee requested that instream monitoring for dissolved oxygen' (DO) and
temperature be deleted, this request cannot be granted. Based upon review of instream
monitoring data collected by the permittee for July and August of 2002, there are several
events where the downstream station shows depressed DO values relative to the upstream
station, with two events showing instream DO values below the state water quality
standard of 5 mg/l. During these same events, the facility was discharging effluent with
low average DO values (0.6 mg/1 in July and 1.4 mg/1 in August). Therefore, instream
monitoring will remain a requirement of this permit. If future summer sampling events
show an increasing trend of exceedances of the instream water quality standard for DO.
then the need for additional effluent controls for dischargers of oxygen -consuming wastes
to this river segment will be investigated during the next permit cycle.

• The facility requested that semi-annual monitoring for arsenic and selenium be deleted
from Outfall 001 requirements, based on trace amounts detected in the effluent. The
Division concurs with this request, based on the determination that the 2001 effluent data
does not exhibit any reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards.
• The facility requested that daily monitoring for ammonia be deleted from Outfall 001
requirements, based on trace amounts detected in the effluent. In response, this permit
reflects a decrease in monitoring frequency from daily to weekly, which is consistent with
minimum monitoring requirements specified in 15A NCAC 2B.0508 for the Food and
Beverage Processing Industry.
• Monthly monitoring for total nitrogen and total phosphorus has been added, which is
consistent with minimum monitoring requirements specified in 15A NCAC 2B.0508 for the
Food and Beverage Processing Industry.
Outfall 002 (Carbon Filter Backwash)
• The facility requested that monitoring requirements associated with Outfall 002 be deleted,
based on the contention that testing results show an extremely high quality effluent. In
response, the Division cannot concur with this request. The monitoring requirements in
the permit are consistent with monitoring requirements specified in the 1992 Water
Treatment Plant filter backwash permitting strategy, as well as the minimum monitoring
requirements specified for water supply plants per 15A NCAC 2B.0508. In addition,
effluent data for Outfall 002 shows that concentrations at times exceed water quality action
levels for TRC (action level = 17 ug/1) and iron (action level = 1 mg/1). Therefore, there is no
basis at this time to remove this monitoring requirement. It should be noted that the
Division has adopted a statewide Water Quality Standard for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC).
Although TRC is not currently limited in this permit, the Division recommends that you
prepare a budget and schedule construction of facility upgrades to restrict the discharge of
TRC. Future renewals of this permit will include a TRC limit of 17 ug/L.
• The sample location for turbidity has been changed from effluent to upstream/downstream
stations. This is consistent with the 1992 water treatment plant filter backwash permitting
strategy.
• The monitoring frequency for pH has been changed from "per discharge event" to weekly
monitoring, which is consistent with the 1992 water treatment plant filter backwash
permitting strategy, as well as minimum monitoring requirements specified for water
supply plants per 15A NCAC 2B.0508.
Miscellaneous
• The facility requested continuation of the exemption from the 24-hour/7-day staffing
requirement. In response, renewal of this exemption is included in this permit as Special
Condition A (4). Conditions of the exemption renewal are the same as previous renewals.
• The permit expiration date has been changed to April 30, 2007, consistent with the basin
renewal schedule.
If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within
thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written
petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the
office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-
6714. Unless such a demand is made, this permit shall be final and binding.
Please take notice that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. Part
II, E.4. addresses the requirements to be followed in case of change in ownership or control of
this discharge. The Division may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the
permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may

SPECIAL CONDITIONS
A (3). CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)- Outfall 001
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 2.1%.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the
"North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998. or
subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"
(Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of
February, May, August, and November. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the
NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the
permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two
following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test
Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the
highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest
concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of
"detectable impairment." collection methods, exposure regimes. and further statistical methods are
specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -
February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter
code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3
(original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of Water Quality
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later
than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete. accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all
concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate
signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if
chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required. the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test
form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county. and the month/year of the report
with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the
Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required. monitoring
will be required during the following month. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or
tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving
stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or
limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control
organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls.
shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than
the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

Permit No. NC0029980
A (4). VARIANCE FOR 24-HOUR STAFFING REQUIREMENT
The permittee's request for continuation of the variance to Rule 15A NCAC 2H.0124(4), which requires
24-hour staffing at wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) by certified operators, has been reviewed and
approved by the Division with the following conditions:
1. The WWTP shall be staffed 24 hours, 7 days per week whenever the WWTP is receiving flow for
treatment and there must be at least one certified operator on each shift. On -site staffing by certified
WWTP operators is not required during periods of complete influent flow diversion to the 3.2 MGD
holding basin.
2. A certified WWTP operator shall be on call when the WWTP is not staffed. This operator shall report
to the WWTP in the event the facility needs to receive flow, if an alarm condition exists, or if unusual
conditions are observed at the facility during the periods of influent flow diversion.
3. When the WWTP is not staffed during periods of flow diversion, the WWTP shall be checked once
every 8 hours by the plant security personnel. and documentation shall be made of each visit.
4. Maintain and operate the computer system that monitors the influent screw lift pump and the
aeration basin blower.
5. This variance shall remain in effect until April 30, 2007. A request for renewal of this variance, if
necessary, should be submitted with the permit renewal application.
6. This variance may be rescinded at the discretion of the Director.

PROJECT NOTES
Summary
• This is a permit renewal for a major industrial facility (Miller Brewing Company) which
operates a 5.2 MGD industrial activated sludge wastewater treatment facility. The facility
brews fermented beverage products (beer), and discharges treated process wastewater to
the Dan River via Outfall 001. The facility also discharges intermittently (twice daily)
untreated carbon filter backwash water associated with treating the municipal water source
for plant use, through Outfall 002 to an unnamed tributary of Dry Creek (dry ditch/zero
flow stream). Domestic wastewater is piped to the City of Eden for treatment. Residuals
are land applied (Permit #WQ0001347) . No facility changes are anticipated during the next
5 years.
• Both receiving streams are Class C waters in the Roanoke River Basin, are not listed as
impaired waters on the 2000 303(d) list, and there are no specific basin permitting
strategies. The Dan River flows northeast into Virginia, less than 10 miles downstream.
Permit Development
• History. The previous NPDES permit expired on 2/28/02. A permit renewal application
(Standard Form C) was received 7/5/01 and acknowledged 7/25/01. The facility is not
classified as a Primary Industry in Appendix A, 40CFR122. The permit was last modified in
March 1998 for Outfall 001, for which monitoring for MBAS was deleted and monitoring for
arsenic and selenium were reduced to semi-annually.
• Effluent Guidelines/BOD&TSS. There are no federal effluent guidelines for the brewing
industry. The Division noted in the last permit that BCT limitations for BOD and TSS
(based on a 1979 EPA Memorandum) would be phased into the next permit renewal, using
best professional judgement. Consequently, this draft permit reflects more stringent BOD
and TSS limits. Based on review of 2001 DMR data, the facility is currently compliant with
the revised draft limitations. [NOTE: limits revised in Final- refer to text above] .

Page 4 NPDES No. NC0029980
• Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA). The previous permit included monitoring for arsenic,
selenium, and zinc at Outfall 001, as these metals were listed as pollutants of concern
based on the fact that the facility collects runoff from a coal pile which is then piped to the
WWTP. Using 2001 data, there was no reasonable potential for arsenic or selenium to
exceed the water quality standard, and monitoring was deleted. There was reasonable
potential exhibited by zinc; however, per the NC Action Level Policy, since the facility has
passed its chronic toxicity tests only monitoring is necessary in this renewal.
DMR Data.
• Effluent Chemical/Physical Data. For calendar year 2001, monthly average values for
Outfall 001 ranged from 1.5-2.2 MGD (flow); 226-900 lbs/d (BOD); 0.12-0.9 mg/1 (NH3-N);
and 392-863 lbs/d (TSS) . For Outfall 002, monthly average values ranged from 0.051-
0.094 MGD (flow); 0.08-0.15 ml/1(settleable solids); 4-15 mg/1 (TSS).
• Effluent Toxicity Data. The facility has passed 18 of 18 quarterly chronic toxicity tests
between 1998-2002 for Outfall 001.
• Instream Data. The facility monitors instream stations for temp/DO upstream and
downstream of Outfall 001 during summer. The 2001 instream DO data generally showed
a slight decrease at the downstream station; however, the downstream DO values were well
above the instream water quality standard of 5 mg/1, with values ranging from 7.0-10.1
mg/1. The facility also monitors for turbidity upstream/downstream of Outfall 002, and all
downstream values were below 30 NTU, versus an instream standard of 50 NTU. [NOTE:
further review of 2002 instream data (very low water year) shows downstream DO values
falling below 5.0 mg/1 on a few occasions, and associated with extremely low DO values
measured in effluent. Therefore continue instream monitoring, and re-evaluate instream
data and potential need for more stringent effluent limits (BOD, DO) for next permit cycle.]
• Compliance Data. The facility was compliant with permit limits based on 2001 data.
WLA Data.
• The last WLA was completed in 1996.
WSRO Region Data.
• The WSRO conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the subject facility on
3/28/01. The report noted the facility was well operated and maintained, and effluent
limits for BOD/TSS are consistently met.

Tom,
I apologize for taking two weeks to look at this e-mail.
I agree with the revisions you have proposed for inclusion in the final
permit. The 1979 proposed effluent guidelines for breweries never went
final and it makes sense to use BPJ for the next reissuance. I am
assuming that the proposed BPJ limits represent loading which does not
adversely affect water quality.
Thank you for sending the revised permit. Please send a final when
issued. If any significant changes are made to this revised draft
permit prior to issuance please send another revised draft, otherwise
please send the final when issued.

Hi Dee- I'm attaching revised sections of the permit (Fact Sheet,
Effluent Sheet) for your review, prior to permit finalization. The
BOD/TSS limits based on the EPA 1979 memo were withdrawn, and replaced
by BPJ limits based on what the facility can currently achieve. The
revised BOD limits represent a 19% reduction (monthly avg load) and 22%
reduction (daily max load) relative to the previous permit. The revised
TSS limits represent a 15% reduction (monthly avg load) and 17%
reduction (daily max load) relative to the previous permit. Please let
me know if you need additional information, and please email me if this
looks ok, so we can proceed to permit issuance. After the permit is
finalized, we'll send a hardcopy and electronic copy to Madolyn. Thanks.

Eden, North Carolina
NPDES Permit No. NC0029980
Dear Mr. Goodrich:
We represent Miller Brewing. Company ("Miller"). Mr. Dan Foster, Environmental
Coordinator at Miller's Eden Brewery, received the proposed draft renewal permit (No.
NC0029980) that accompanied your transmittal letter to him dated November 13, 2002 (the
"Draft Permit"). The Draft Permit proposes several significant changes or other requirements
that may not be appropriate or necessary, and our comments on behalf of Miller concerning these
proposed changes and other requirements are included below.
1. Stream Monitoring - NPDES permit No. 0029980 was issued initially
effective May 27, 1976. When the monitoring requirements were established, the plant
was required to monitor the stream. Miller made arrangements with Duke Power
Company to gain access to the river for the upstream sample through the security guards
for Duke's Dan River steam generating plant. Miller also was able to arrange with
Fieldcrest Mills (now Fieldcrest Cannon) to access the river through security for
Fieldcrest's blanket plant for the downstream sample. During the initial term of the
permit (1976 to 1980) it became clear from the stream monitoring results that the Miller
discharge was not having any measurable impact on the quality of the water in the Dan
River. Consequently, the first renewal permit that issued in 1980 removed the stream
monitoring requirements, and from 1980 to 1997, Miller was not required to monitor in
the River. There are several reasons, which include the following, why Miller should not
be required to monitor in the stream:
(a) Historically in North Carolina, in -stream monitoring has not been
required for effluent limited stream segments. The Draft Permit contains no
limitations based upon water quality criteria.

(b) In the almost twenty-five years that Miller has operated this
Brewery, it has never submitted a Monitoring Report that revealed any significant
non-compliance with effluent limitations and other conditions of its NPDES
permit. Given the size of the Dan River and the quality of the Miller effluent, the
impact (or lack of impact) on the River is predictable without gathering
information from the stream.
(c) The parameters specified in the Draft Permit for in -stream
monitoring are dissolved oxygen and temperature. It appears that the information
produced by this monitoring would not be very beneficial and would not justify
the effort and cost required to do it.
Dissolved Oxygen DSO - During the initial term of Permit No.
NC0029980 when in -stream monitoring was conducted, the Miller
discharge never had a negative impact on the DO in the River.
Frequently, the downstream level was higher than the upstream level.
Miller monitors DO throughout the treatment process to regulate the
supply of oxygen to the aerators, and the treated wastewater goes through
the large polishing lagoons before discharge to the River. Miller's
discharge has never caused a DO problem, and monitoring the effluent
should be more than sufficient to protect the stream. Under the draft
permit, Miller is required to monitor the effluent daily for dissolved
oxygen.
Temperature - The temperature of the influent to the wastewater
treatment plant can be as high as 90-92°F. By the time the waste stream
passes through the basins and clarifiers, it is at or about ambient
temperature. The treated wastewater is then transferred into the polishing
lagoon where the temperature further stabilizes at or near ambient
temperature. From the polishing lagoons, the treated wastewater is
pumped through a 30-inch discharge line for 1% miles before it reaches
the River. Essentially, there is no way the Miller discharge could cause a
measurable deviation in the temperature of the River.
Recommendation and Request - The requirement for in -stream monitoring
should be removed from the permit for outfall 001.

2. Effluent Limitations - The Draft Permit contains mass limits for BOD and
TSS equivalent to 25 mg/1 and 35 mg/I respectively (based upon a memo dated
September 26, 1979 generated at Region III of EPA). These limits are referred to as BCT .
limits for breweries in your letter of transmittal dated November 13, 2002. For reasons
including those described below, neither the Technical bases nor the environmental
benefits exist for reducing the BOD and TSS limits to the levels specified in the Draft
Permit.
(a) If the proposed limits had been in effect in the expired permit, over
the last three years Miller would have violated daily maximum limits six (6)
times.
(b) The mass limits for BOD that were included in the initial NPDES
permit for the Eden Brewery were based on a concentration for BPT of
approximately 47 mg/1 (monthly average). At the time this permit was written,
EPA indicated that promulgation of technology -based effluent limits for the
brewing industry was imminent. These representations by EPA continued for a
short time and then nothing more was said. As you know, the project was
dropped by EPA and the effluent limits have never been developed.
(c) The occasion for the EPA memo dated September 26, 1979,
apparently was a meeting to determine whether EPA should object to a draft
permit for the Trenton Brewery submitted by Ohio EPA. It's not clear from the
memo what Region 1II finally decided, but we know that Ohio EPA issued the
NPDES permit to the Trenton Brewery based on a flow of 6.1 MOD and mass
limits for BOD and TSS based approximately on 45 mg/1 and 86 mg/1 (monthly
average) respectively. These are the limits that are in the current NPDES permit
for the Trenton Brewery.
(d) The numbers referred to in the memo to Region III were taken
from a preliminary development document dated May, 1975 for effluent
limitations for a "Miscellaneous Foods and Beverages Point Source Category."
At that time in 1975, these numbers were very preliminary and as far as we know,
the gathering of `more information" that may cause these numbers to change was
never developed. It would be very speculative twenty-five years later to use this

preliminary development document to justify reducing the effluent limits for the
Eden Brewery in half.
(e) The Dan River in Eden is not an impaired stream and is not on the
lists for development of a TMDL. We are not aware of any permits in the area
that are limited on the basis of water quality criteria. Furthermore, with the
substantial reduction of manufacturing waste waters formerly generated by the
textile plants in and around Eden, the quality of the Dan River must be
significantly better than it was 20 years ago. There appears to be no
environmental benefit to justify these drastic reductions in effluent limitations.
(f) In order to insure compliance with the limits proposed in the draft
permit, Miller would have to install additional treatment systems that would cost
in excess of V2 million dollars.
Recommendation and Request - The Permit should retain the effluent
limits for EOD and TSS in the expired permit.
On behalf of Miller, we thank you for the time and attention given to these matters. If
you should continue in the opinion that any one or more of the referenced conditions should
remain in the permit or remain unchanged, as the case may be, we request an opportunity to
discuss them at a meeting in your offices before such condition(s) are included in the final draft.
Very truly yours,

Hello folks- I'm resending this email since I haven't heard back and I'd
like to keep this major industrial moving along. We received draft
comments from the permittee's attorney on 12/19/02, which focused on our
application of EPA 1979 Preliminary Effluent Guidelines. If EPA does
not support application of these guidelines at this time, please let us
know and we will modify the permit prior to finalization. Thanks.

Hi Dee- Hope you had a good Christmas break. On 12/31/02 I faxed you a
copy of the permittee's comments on the draft permit. We will need your
feedback before proceeding, particularly with regard to the insertion of
the 1979 EPA Preliminary Effluent Guidelines for BOD/TSS. The permittee
states these guideline values were never applied elsewhere. Thanks.

Thanks Dee. There was no DO limit in the previuos permit, and since instream DO
values were
well above the WQS, no DO limit was deemed necessary in this version.

Tom,
I got your voice mail. I will be looking at this permit this week and
will get back to you. Theoretically we have 30 days from receipt of a
permit for review. I understand this permit will be going to public
notice on the 13th. I appologize for the delay, but I have been

Subject: Comments on Draft NC0029980-
Hi Dee- I put this one on a back burner when,I had problems opening the
file. Teresa also could not open the Fieldcrest Cannon draft that you
sent, so we're not sure if there is a problem with the conversion from
Word Perfect to Word. Mike Templeton was able to print out copies of
your drafts (although he received a "corruptable file" message), so
we're still trying to figure out the computer glitch. Teresa said she
had no problems opening the draft sent by Kerrie -Jo, which had each page
saved individually. I'm not sure if that matters, but it might be worth
a try down the road. I am not sure why the file is corrupted. I was
receiving an undiagnosed error message on my computer that has since
been fixed. maybe the next files will be okay. very strange indeed!
Anyways, I took a quick look at the draft yesterday and offer the
following comments:
1). Draft Letter. The mailing address is to Mr. I.P. Henry, but the
salutation is to Ms. Henry? Oops!!
2). Supplement to Cover Page. This page states the discharge is to the
Dan River, while the Cover Page lists separate receiving streams for 001
(Dan River) and 002 (UT Dry Creek). Thanks for making the correction.
3). Effluent Sheet A(1)- Process Water. You list the definition for the
Upstream Station U as "Upstream 50' to 100' above outfall" while the old
permit defines it as "Upstream at Highway 14 crossing." Did the
facility request a change in location? Not sure about this, maybe I cut
and pasted from the fieldcrest permit that was done at the same time.
You changed the NH3-N sample type from composite to grab, but based on
state regs it must remain a
composite sample. I'll also remove definitions for ug/1 and mg/1 since
they do not appear on this sheet, and add one for lbs/day, which does
appear in the table. Finally, I'll probably remove the reference to
"TRC monitoring if chlorine is added for disinfection", since the Fact

Sheet states that this wastestream is strictly process wastewater. I

tidying up!
4) Effluent Sheet A(2)- Filter Backwash. The units for Settleable
Solids should be ml/L rather than mg/l. The old permit listed weekly
effluent turbidity monitoring, which is not included in this draft;
however, there is still a footnote on turbidity? I'll delete
definitions for BOD and ug/1 since they do not appear in the table, and
add one for ml/L.
5) Reasonable Potential Results. The old permit included monitoring for
arsenic, zinc, and selenium at Outfall 001, and for iron at Outfall
002. Based on RPA results, you deleted these monitoring requirements.
Can you send us the RPA spreadsheets. Sometimes we retain some
monitoring in the permit even if there is no RPA, if there are
detections of the metals and we still consider them pollutants of
concern.
Thats all for now.

Our facility discharges its wastewater to the Dan River pursuant to NPDES Permit No.
NC0029880. In support of our manufacturing processes, we use certain water treatment
chemicals. Because these chemicals are used as anti-microbials they are regulated under
the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act ("FIFRA"). FIFRA labels require
that the presence of these chemicals in a facility's wastestream be accounted for in the
permitting process or otherwise reported to the permitting authority. Although we
believe that earlier submissions to your office identified our general use of water
treatment chemicals, and the way in which we use these chemicals and the type of
chemical has not changed since those submissions, we do from time to time change
vendors and the specific chemical used may change.
In light of these periodic changes, we have determined that the best way to comply with
our FIFRA label requirements would be to provide your office with a listing of our
FIFRA water treatment chemicals and subsequently with an updated list whenever we
change one of those chemicals. These chemicals are present in our discharged
wastestream if at all, in trace amounts. The list of FIFRA water treatment chemicals that
we are currently using is attached.
Please call me if you have any questions.
