PETITION FOR NPDES PERMIT APPEAL OFK.A.STEEL CHEMICALS INC

.

Petitioner K.A . Steel Chemical Inc . ("K

.A.

Steel"), by its undersigned counsel,

petitions the Illinois Pollution Control Board ("the Board") under Section 40(a) of the

Illinois Environmental Protection Act, 415 ILCS § 5/40(a), to grant K .A. Steel a hearing

to contest terms of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination ("NPDES") Permit

issued to K .A . Steel by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency ("IEPA") on June

29, 2006 . In support of this Petition, K.A

. Steel states as follows :

1 .

K.A

. Steel is a Delaware corporation, qualified to do business in Illinois,

with a facility at 1001 Main Street in Lemont (Cook County), Illinois . As pertinent here,

at that facility K .A

. Steel produces sodium hypochlorite, which is commonly known as

household bleach .

2 .

On August 4, 1988, IEPA issued an NPDES permit to K

.A . Steel ("1988

Permit"), a true and correct copy of which is attached as Exhibit A

. The 1988 Permit,

which remained in effect until recently, addresses two outfalls relevant in this

proceeding

: (a) Outfall 001, which discharges to the Illinois and Michigan Canal ("I&M

THIS FILING

IS SUBMITTED ON

RECYCLED PAPER

---

Canal")

; and (b) Outfall 004, which discharges to the Chicago Sanitary & Ship Canal

("S&S Canal")

.

3 .

The 1988 Permit contains limits for discharges from Outfall 001 for pH,

temperature, total chlorine residual, and total suspended solids

. The 1988 Permit

contains limits for discharges from Outfall 004 on pH and iron

. The 1988 Permit

contains no limits for chlorides or total dissolved solids for either of these two outfalls .

4.

On or about August 16, 2005, IEPA published a draft NPDES permit for

K.A. Steel . A true and correct copy of this draft permit is attached as Exhibit B . Among

other things, the permit proposed effluent limits for Outfall 001 of 500 mg/L for chlorides

and 1,000 mg/L for total dissolved solids ("TDS") .

5 .

K.A. Steel thereafter retained Huff & Huff, Inc

., an environmental

engineering firm, to evaluate this proposed permit and consider alternatives .

6. In a letter to IEPA dated April 11, 2006, Huff & Huff concluded that

meeting the 500 mg/L standard for chlorides and the 1,000 mg/L for TDS would be

problematic for K

.A. Steel at Outfall 001 . A true and correct copy of this letter is

attached as Exhibit C .

7 .

The problem arises because Outfall 001 discharges to the I&M Canal which

has a zero dry weather flow

. Huff & Huff therefore proposed to IEPA that the process

wastewater discharges now going to Outfall 001 be moved to Outfall 004 which, as noted

above, discharges to the S&S Canal, which has a 7Q10 of 1,134 million gallons per day

(MGD). Switching K.A

. Steel's process water to the S&S Canal will result in an increase

2

THIS FILING IS SUBMITTED ON RECYCLED PAPER

---

of TDS in the S&S Canal of 0.5

mg/L and chlorides of 0.2 mg/L. Water Quality

monitoring of the S&S Canal in Lemont since 2003 has demonstrated that the TDS and

chloride water quality standards (1,500 mg/L and 1,000 mg/L respectively) have been

consistently achieved. K.A. Steel's proposed discharge will not cause or contribute to a

water quality violation on the S&S Canal, as was shown in the April 11, 2006 permit

modification request . Therefore, Huff & Huff proposed that no chloride or TDS limits be

imposed in a modified permit upon K .A. Steel's wastewater discharge after relocation to

Outfall 004 as there is no reasonable potential for causing or creating a water quality

violation

.

8.

K .A. Steel, through Huff & Huff, submitted a proposed permit modification

to this effect (see Exhibit C) on or about April 11, 2006

. Subsequent communications by

IEPA led K.A

. Steel and Huff & Huff to believe that this proposed modification was

under serious consideration by IEPA .

9.

By letter dated June 29, 2006, received by K

.A . Steel on July 18, 2006,

however, IEPA issued a "final" NPDES permit effective July 1, 2006 ("2006 Permit")

. A

true and correct copy of this pennit is attached as Exhibit D

. This permit maintains the

discharge of process waste water at Outfall 001 and imposes effluent limits of 500 mg/L

for chlorides and 1,000 mg/L for TDS

.

10.

According to a recent e-mail from IEPA, the 2006 Permit was issued due to

a "mix-up" at the agency

. A true and correct copy of this e-mail is attached as Exhibit E

.

IEPA states that it is trying to "rectify" this situation and process the modification, but

3

THIS FILING IS SUBMITTED ON RECYCLED PAPER

---

that it would not be able to do so by the end of July

.

11 .

By separate motion, K .A. Steel has moved the Board to stay this

proceeding pending discussions with IEPA regarding issuance of a modified permit .

Respectfully submitted,

Mr . Blaine Kinsley, P .E .

Manager, Industrial Unit, Permit Section

Division of Water Pollution Control

Illinois Environmental Protection Agency

1021 North Grand Avenue East

Springfield, IL 62702

Re :

K A Steel Chemicals Inc .

NPDES #1L0022934

Amended Application

Dear Mr . Kinsley :

On August 16, 2005, the Illinois EPA sent to Public Notice a Draft NPDES Permit for K A Steel

Chemicals Inc (KA Steel)

. The draft permit included effluent limits on Outfall 001 for chlorides

(500 mg/L) and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) (1,000 mg/L)

. Outfall 001 includes the process

wastewater stream . These water quality based effluent limits are problematic for a facility that

makes sodium hypochlorite . KA Steel retained Huff & Huff, Inc

. to evaluate alternatives, and

this permit modification request is the outcome of this work . In summary, KA Steel is

requesting relocation of the process water discharges from Outfall 001 to existing Outfall 004 to

the Chicago Sanitary & Ship Canal (Ship Canal), and the elimination of effluent limits on TDS

and chlorides on this outfall . The technical justification is presented herein .

Existing Water Quality

As the Agency is well aware, highway de-icing has been a major source of elevated TDS and

chlorides in the waterways in northeast Illinois

. Highway authorities have implemented many

programs to reduce salt usage, and salt applied per lane mile has dropped dramatically over the

past decade

. These efforts have paid off, and water quality violations of chlorides and TDS no

longer appear on the Ship Canal

. Table I is the recent TDS and chloride water quality data

generated by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC) on

the Ship Canal near Lemont, No water quality violations have occurred, From this monitoring,

we have concluded that no water quality violations for chlorides and TDS are occurring on the

Ship Canal by Lemont

. As such, water quality based effluent limits are not automatically

required

.

Exhibit C

---

Relative Loadings

The 10-year, 7-day low flow in the Ship Canal in the vicinity of Lemont is 1,756 cfs, or 1,134

mgd

. Outfall 005 will have a dry weather flow of 0 .068 mgd

. The projected maximum TDS and

chloride content in Outfall 004 will occur during dry weather, and is projected to be 8,700 mg/L

TDS and 4,100 mg/L chlorides . The net increase in TDS and chloride concentrations at low flow

in the Ship Canal will be only 0

.5 mg/L TDS and 0.2 mg/L chlorides, after complete mixing .

These values, and using the maximum reported TDS and chloride levels reported in the Ship

Canal over the past three years will result in the following maximum levels downstream of KA

Steel :

Maximum, mg/L

TDS

1094 .5

Chlorides

470 .2

Assuming 25 percent of the Ship Canal for a mixing zone yields a TDS and chlorides at the edge

of the mixing zone of:

Maximum at

Edge of Mixing Zone,

mg/L

TDS

1096

Chlorides

471

Clearly there is no reasonable potential to contribute to a water quality violation and therefore

effluent limits on TDS and chlorides on Outfall 004 are inappropriate

. Moving an industrial

outfall from a Primary Contact Waterway to a Secondary Contact Waterway would seem to be a

positive step for the environment

.

Suggested Permit Changes

The limits and monitoring present in the draft permit for Outfall 001 should be moved to Outfall

004

. Going forward, Outfall 001 will be for only storm water, and therefore subject to Best

Management Practices (BMPs) only

. Temperature limits should reflect the Secondary Contact

Standards with the moving of the process wastewater to Outfall 004

.

Special Condition 6 should be revised to Outfall 004

.

Special Condition 10 can be deleted

Roger,

This e-mail is a heads up regarding a potential non-compliance issue

that has come up with the KA Steel permit . The permit was recently

renewed with an effective date of July 1, 2006 . There was a mix up in

which the facility had requested a change in receiving stream that was

not processed in the reissued permit . We are currently trying to

rectify the that situation, but will not be able to do that before the

first DMR is due . I have instructed KA Steel to submit their new July

DMR with an explanation of the situation .

Permits will endeavor to process the modification as soon as possible.

MOTION OF K .A.STEEL CHEMICALSINC. TO STAY THIS PROCEEDING

Petitioner K .A. Steel Chemical Inc . ("K.A. Steel"), by its undersigned counsel,

moves the Illinois Pollution Control Board ("the Board") under Section 101 .514 of the

Illinois Administrative Code to stay this proceeding pending the outcome of discussions

regarding permit modification with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency

("IEPA") . In support of this Motion, K

.A. Steel states as follows :

1 .

K .A. Steel has on this date filed a petition for appeal of the NPDES permit

issued by IEPA on June 29, 2006 .

2 .

As related in that petition, the appeal concerns that permit

. IEPA states in a

recent e-mail that, due to a "mix-up" at the agency, it did not consider K

.A

. Steel's

application for a modification of its prior permit, pending since April 11, 2006, before

issuing the new permit.

3 .

The IEPA stated in the e-mail that it would seek to "rectify" this situation

but that it could not do so by the end of July 2006

. Thus this situation also could not be

rectified prior to the expiration of K

.A

. Steel's 35-day appeal period

.

THIS FILING IS SUBMITTED ON RECYCLED PAPER

---

4 . While a successful outcome of discussions between K

.A. Steel and IEPA

cannot be assumed, it is clear that, by issuing the June 29, 2006 permit, IEPA did not

intend at this time to reject K .A

. Steel's pending application for modification of its prior

permit out-of-hand . Thus, K.A

. Steel reasonably believes that it would conserve the

resources of the Board and the parties to stay this proceeding for a reasonable time

pending these discussions .

THEREFORE, KA Steel respectfully requests that the Board enter an order

staying this proceeding for 30 days pending discussions with IEPA regarding permit

modification.
