SUBJECT

Elemental
Phosphorus
Discharge
from
Outfall

TOPICS
DISCUSSED
AND
ACTION
TAKEN
I
called
Mr.
Bob
Swint,
Environmental
Supervisor
for
Meadwestvaco
Coated
Board,
regarding
discharges
of
elemental
phosphorous
from
Outfall
001
reported
to
PCS
for
2002.
I
had
reviewed
this
facility's
measurements
and
violation
report
on
EPA's
Envirofacts
web
page
and
noticed
that
they
only
report
Elemental
Phosphorous
(
PRAM
Code
=
00442)
for
Outfall
001.
All
other
outfalls
are
monitored
for
Total
Phosphorus
(
as
P).
In
September
2003,
the
facility
stopped
reporting
Elemental
Phosphorus
for
Outfall
001
and
began
reporting
Total
Phosphorus
as
P.
I
asked
Mr.
Swint
which
parameter
was
appropriate
for
their
discharge.

Mr.
Swint
said
that
the
test
for
Elemental
Phosphorous
is
exactly
the
same
as
the
test
for
Total
Phosphorus
as
P.
Therefore,
the
facility
has
not
changed
their
analysis
at
all.
The
only
difference
between
the
data
reported
prior
to
September
2003
and
after
September
2003
is
that
the
form
sent
to
the
facility
by
the
state
had
a
different
PRAM
code
printed
on
the
top.
Mr.
Swint
did
not
know
why
the
PRAM
code
on
the
form
had
changed.

Since
there
is
no
difference
in
analytical
method
for
detecting
Elemental
Phosphorous
versus
Total
Phosphorus,
and
it
is
unlikely
that
the
mill
is
discharging
Elemental
Phosphorous,
ERG
determined
that
it
was
appropriate
to
change
the
PRAM
code
to
Total
Phosphorus
as
P
for
Outfall
001.
