INTRODUCTION
The
U.
S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
is
conducting
a
survey
of
the
Meat
Products
Industry
as
part
of
its
effort
to
review
and
revise,
as
appropriate,
effluent
limitations
guidelines
and
standards
for
this
industry.
This
survey
requests
data
on
sites
engaged
in
meat
product
processing.
The
technical
data
collected
with
this
survey
will
be
used
to
determine
the
production
rates,
use
of
water
for
processes,
rates
of
wastewater
generation,
and
the
practices
of
wastewater
management,
treatment,
and
disposal
of
this
industry.
The
financial
and
economic
data
collected
in
this
survey
will
be
used
to
characterize
the
economic
status
of
the
industry
and
to
estimate
the
possible
economic
impacts
of
wastewater
regulations.

COMPLETION
OF
THE
SURVEY
The
survey
should
be
completed
by
the
person(
s)
most
knowledgeable
about
the
information
requested.
All

the
corporate
official
or
designee
responsible
for
directing
or
supervising

page
iv)
to
verify
and
validate
the
information
provided,
or
to
certify
that
this
site
does
not
engage
in
meat
product
processes.

EPA
has
prepared
this
survey
to
be
applicable
to
a
variety
of
processes
and
operations;
therefore,
not

PROVISIONS
REGARDING
DATA
CONFIDENTIALITY
Regulations
governing
the
confidentiality
of
business
information
are
contained
in
the
Code
of
Federal
Regulations
(
CFR)
at
Title
40
Part
2,
Subpart
B.
You

as
described
in
40
CFR
2.203(

?(
b)
Method
and
time
of
asserting
business
confidentiality
claim.
A
business
which
is
submitting
information
to
EPA
may
assert
a
business
confidentiality
claim
covering
the
information
by
placing
on
(
or
attaching
to)
the
information,
at
the
time
it
is
submitted
to
EPA,
a
cover
sheet,
stamped
or
typed
legend,
or
other
suitable
form
of
notice
complying
language
such
as
<

trade
secret,'
<

proprietary,'
or
<

company
confidential.'
Allegedly
confidential
portions
of
otherwise
nonconfidential
documents
should
be
clearly
identified
by
the
business,
and
may
be
submitted
separately
to
facilitate
identification
and
handling
by
EPA.
If
the
business
desires
confidential
treatment
only
until
a
certain
date
or
until
the
occurrence
of
a
certain
event,
the
notice
should
so
state."

If
no
business
confidentiality
claim
accompanies
the
information
when
it
is
received
by
EPA,
EPA
may
make
the
information
available
to
the
public
without
further
notice.

You
may
claim
as
confidential
all

included
in
the
response
to
a
question
by
checking
the
Confidential
Business

next
to
each
question
number
for
which
responses
contain

nonconfidential.
Note
that
you
may
be
required
to
justify
any
claim
of
confidentiality
at
a
later
time.
Note
also
that
plant
effluent
data
are
not
eligible
for
confidential
treatment,
pursuant
to
Section
308(
b)
of
the
Clean
Water
Act,
and
thus
will
be
treated
as
nonconfidential
even
if
the
?

CBI"
box
is
checked.

Information
covered
by
a
claim
of
confidentiality
will
be
disclosed
by
EPA
only
to
the
extent
of,
and
by
means
of,
the
procedures
set
forth
in
40

the
purpose
of
performing
the
work
required
by
their
contracts
and
will
not
disclose
any

Calculation
Method
To
complete
Questions
21(
a)
and
21(
b),
you
are
requested
to
provide
the
calculation
method
you
used
to
calculate
the
average
concentration
of
each
pollutant
parameter
when
some
or
all
measurements
were
not
detected
(
ND).
Since
laboratories
may
report
pollutant
parameters
as
ND,
EPA
expects
that
you
will
also
use
the
NDs
in
the
calculation
of
the
average
concentration.
There
are
several
methods
which
may
be
used
to
calculate
an
average
pollutant
parameter
concentration
when
ND
values
have
been
reported
by
the
laboratory.
EPA
requests
that
you
identify
which
method
you
used
to
calculate
an
average
pollutant
parameter
concentration.
The
following
is
a
description
of
the
different
types
of
detection
limits,
the
ND
calculation
methods,
and
examples:


The
method
detection
limit
is
the
detection
limit
set
by
the
analytical
methods
in
40
CFR
Part
136;
if
an
alternative
method
was
used,
please
specify
the
method
and
detection
limit.


The
sample
detection
limit
is
the
detection
limit
set
by
the
matrix
complexity
and
reported
to
you
by
the
laboratory.
22
In
calculating
an
average
pollutant
concentration,
the
following
methods
of
including
ND
sample
results
are
typically
used:


ND
value
set
equal
to
the
method
detection
limit;


ND
value
set
equal
to
one­
half
of
the
method
detection
limit;


ND
value
set
equal
to
the
sample
detection
limit;


ND
value
set
equal
to
one­
half
of
the
sample
detection
limit;
and

ND
value
set
equal
to
zero
(
0).

EXAMPLE:
Suppose
a
site
analyzes
two
samples
for
benzo(
a)
pyrene.
Benzo(
a)
pyrene
is
detected
in
the
first
sample
at
100
ppb,
but
is
not
detected
in
the
second
sample.
The
analytical
laboratory
reports
the
second
result
as
<
50
ppb,
where
the
method
detection
limit
is
10
ppb
and
the
sample
detection
limit
is
50
ppb.
Depending
on
which
calculation
method
is
used,
the

In

event
the
company
does
not
borrow
money
to
finance
capital

what
discount

Identify
whether
the
rate
is
pre­

and
whether
the
