FILE REVIEW COMMENTS
Santtony Wear (formerly Wundies)---IUP#0007--- quite all dyeing approximately eight or nine months ago. They
are now shipping the dyeing process to Mexico.
Perdue Farms---IUP#0003---.In 1998, Perdue installed an EQ tank ahead of the DAF. Since the change they have
been doing a good job of reducing their BOD levels. Now the average BOD is approximately 160 mg/L. Before
the changes, the BOD was 700 to 800 mg/L. They have now gone two years without any surcharges at all. They
use to have $17,000 to $19,000 per month in surcharges.
