Subject: EPA Information Collection Request for Brick and Structural Clay Products

Mr. Telander:

On behalf of Morin Brick Company (MBC), LFR is submitting the completed EPA information collection request (ICR) for their Auburn, Maine facility, in accordance with the June 9, 2008 letter from Mr. Peter Tsirigotis of EPA to Mr. Norman Davis of MBC.  Attached is the ICR file (Excel workbook) as well as the requested attachments.  The attachments include the cost estimate for the dry limestone adsorber (DLA) and a process flow diagram, as well as raw material test results for hydrogen fluorides and chlorides.

It is important to note that MBC's Auburn facility is not subject to the MACT.  The DLA was installed because of State of Maine Best Available Control Technology (BACT) requirements.

Per our telephone conversation on July 13th, we have not completed the survey for MBC's former Gorham, Maine facility.  As we discussed, the Gorham facility has been shut down since February 2005 and MBC has no intention of re-starting operations at that site.  In fact, the property is currently in the process of being sold, and the brick plant is expected to be demolished by the buyer.

MBC has made every effort to provide all available information as requested in the survey.  The economic information on Form F is considered confidential business information.  A hard copy of that data is being submitted separately.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please let us know.

Sincerely,
Norma Gordon
