Magnetic
tape
manufacturing
facilities
in
NC
Ms.
Butler,

As
we
discussed
on
the
phone,
I
am
with
RTI
working
with
the
US
EPA
gathering
in
formation
on
magnetic
tape
manufacturing
facilities.
Magnetic
tape
is
used
in
a
udio
recording,
video
recording,
or
any
kind
of
information
storage
and
includes
products
such
as
audio
tape,
video
tape,
floppy
disks,
and
magnetic
strips
for
credit
cards,
toll
tickets,
airline
boarding
passes,
and
security
badges.
The
m
agnetic
tape
manufacturing
NESHAP
(
40
CFR
part
63,
subpart
EE)
was
promulgated
i
n
December
1994,
and
EPA
is
required
to
evaluate
the
risk
remaining
(
residual
ri
sk)
for
source
categories
several
years
after
standards
have
been
put
in
place.
There
are
two
facilities
in
North
Carolina
which
appeared
on
our
source
list
fo
r
magnetic
tape
manufacturing,
and
we
would
like
to
confirm
whether
these
facili
ties
are
still
operating
and
if
they
actually
manufacture
magnetic
tape.
The
tw
o
facilities
are
Electronic
Data
Magnetics
Inc.
(
EDM),
which
is
located
on
210
O
ld
Thomasville
Road
in
High
Point,
NC,
and
Sonopress
Inc.,
which
is
located
on
1
08
Monticello
Road
in
Weaverville,
NC.
If
you
or
someone
at
DENR
could
help
me
out
with
this
information,
I
would
greatly
appreciate
it.

Thanks,
Tom
