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 sites must have the corporate official or designee responsible for directing or supervising of the survey response sign the Certification Statement ( located on 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 all of the questions will apply to each site. Complete each applicable item in the survey. You are not required to perform nonroutine tests or measurements solely for the purpose of responding to this survey. In the event that exact data are not available, provide best engineering estimates and note the methods that were used to make the estimates on the Comments page located at the end of the survey. General instructions are provided on page v, and additional instructions are provided as needed with each question. A complete set of definitions can be found in the Definitions Section, starting on page vi.

If you would like to request a WordPerfect 8 version of the survey instrument, you must do so in writing within 10 days of receipt of this survey ( see address under WHERE TO RETURN THE SURVEY on page iii). You are responsible for submitting a properly formatted hard copy of the survey by the due date which matches this survey's format. The electronic formatting of this survey is complex and may require more experienced clerical support. Improperly formatted survey responses will be returned to the respondent! ii AUTHORITY This survey is conducted under authority of Section 308 of the Clean Water Act ( Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 33 U. S. C. Section 1318). All sites that receive this survey must respond to it. Return all portions of the survey to the EPA within 60 days of receiving it. Late filing or failure to comply with these instructions may result in criminal fines, civil penalties, and other sanctions, as provided by law.

If you wish to request an extension for your site or discuss a delivery schedule for a company with multiple sites, you must do so in writing within 20 days of receipt of this survey. Send written requests to:

Ms. Samantha Lewis U. S. Environmental Protection Agency ( 4303) 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20460 Extension requests will be evaluated on a case by case basis. Submittal of an extension request to EPA does not alter the due date of your survey.

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 may assert a business confidentiality claim covering part or all of the information you submit, other than effluent data, as described in 40 CFR 2.203( b):

?( 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 information included in the response to a question by checking the Confidential Business Information ( CBI) box next to each question number for which responses contain CBI. Any individual response where ?

CBI" is NOT checked will be considered 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 CFR Part 2, Subpart B. In general, submitted information protected by a business confidentiality claim may be disclosed to other employees, officers, or authorized representatives of the United States concerned with implementing the Clean Water Act.

Information covered by a claim of confidentiality will be made available to EPA contractors under EPA Contract Numbers 68 C6????, 68 C6????, and 68 C4???? to enable the contractors to perform the work required by their contracts with EPA. All EPA contracts provide that contractor employees use the information only for the purpose of performing the work required by their contracts and will not disclose any CBI to anyone other than EPA without prior written approval from each affected business or from EPA's legal office. Any comments you may wish to make on this issue must be submitted in writing along with your completed survey. iii WHERE TO RETURN THE SURVEY After completing the survey and certifying the information that it contains, use the enclosed mailing label to mail the completed survey to:

The CBI boxes begin with Question 8. vi DEFINITIONS GENERAL DEFINITIONS Blood Processing. The blood may be heated to coagulate the albumin; then, the albumin and fibrin are separated ( e. g., with a screen or centrifuge) from the blood water and forwarded for further processing. The blood water or serum remaining after coagulation may be evaporated for animal feed, or it may be sewered.

Deep Well Injection. Long term or permanent disposal of untreated, partially treated, or treated wastewaters by pumping the wastewater into underground formations of suitable character through a bored, drilled, or driven well.

Effluent Limitations Guidelines and Standards. Regulations promulgated by U. S. EPA under authority of Sections 301, 304, 306, and 307 of the Clean Water Act that set out minimum, national technology based standards of performance for point source wastewater discharges from specific industrial categories ( e. g., iron and steel manufacturing plants). Effluent limitations guidelines and standards regulations are implemented through the NPDES permit and national pretreatment programs and include the following:

Best Practicable Control Technology Currently Available ( BPT)

Best Available Technology Economically Achievable ( BAT)

Best Conventional Pollutant Control Technology ( BCT)

New Source Performance Standards ( NSPS)

Pretreatment Standards for Existing Sources ( PSES)

Pretreatment Standards for New Sources ( PSNS)

The pretreatment standards ( PSES, PSNS) are applicable to industrial facilities with process wastewater discharges to publicly owned treatment works ( POTWs). The effluent limitations guidelines and new source performance standards ( BPT, BAT, BCT, and NSPS) are applicable to industrial facilities with direct discharges of process wastewaters to waters of the United States.

Ground Water. Water in a saturated zone or stratum beneath the surface of land or water.

Live Weight Killed ( LWK). The total weight of the total number of animals slaughtered during the time to which the effluent limitations apply; i. e., during any one day or any period of thirty consecutive days.

Meat Product Operations. Include red meat and poultry slaughtering operations, by product operations, rendering, and further processing.

Noncontact Cooling Water. Water used for cooling in process and nonprocess applications which does not come into contact with any raw material, intermediate product, by product, waste product ( including air emissions), or finished product.

NPDES Program. The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ( NPDES) program authorized by Sections 307, 318, 402, and 405 of the Clean Water Act which applies to facilities that discharge wastewater directly to United States surface waters.

Privately Owned Treatment Works ( PrOTWs). Any device or system owned and operated by a private entity and used for storage, treatment, recycling, or reclamation of liquid industrial wastes.

Process Wastewater. Any water which, during red meat or poultry operations, comes into direct contact with or results from the storage, production, or use of any raw material, intermediate product, finished product, by product, or waste product. Wastewater from equipment cleaning, direct contact air pollution control devices, rinse water, storm water associated with industrial activity, and contaminated cooling water are considered process wastewater. Process wastewater may also include wastewater that is contract hauled for off site disposal. Sanitary wastewater, uncontaminated noncontact cooling water, and storm water not associated with industrial activity are not considered process wastewater. vii Publicly Owned Treatment Works ( POTWs). Any device or system owned and operated by a public entity and used in the storage, treatment, recycling, or reclamation of liquid municipal sewage and/ or liquid industrial wastes. The sewerage system that conveys wastewaters to treatment works is considered part of the POTW.

Site. A site is generally one contiguous physical location at which manufacturing operations related to the meat products industry occur. This includes, but is not limited to, slaughtering, processing, and rendering. In some instances, a site may include properties located within separate fence lines, but located close to each other.

Question 21 requires summary information for data collected by your site, including ( 1) monitoring data your site may have collected for permit monitoring requirements [ Question 21.( a)], ( 2) any data collected simultaneously at both influent and effluent streams from a wastewater treatment system or a treatment unit [ Question 21.( b)], and ( 3) any other wastewater characterization data collected at nonpermitted monitoring locations [ Question 21.( b)].

Each part of this question requires you to assign a unique sampling point ( SP) number to each sampling location and provide the SP number at the top of the table for each question. At the top of each table, provide ( 1) the entire wastewater treatment system ( using treatment types identified in Question 14) from where the wastewater stream is an effluent and to where the stream is an influent, OR ( 2) the outfall to where the wastewater stream is discharged ( e. g., Outfall 001  Mill Creek). Check (

) the appropriate choice and provide the source and/ or destination of the stream.

Each part of this question contains a table to specify the following information:

The pollutant analyzed ( using the Pollutant Parameter Codes shown on the following page);

The EPA ( or alternative) analytical method used;

Whether the samples were collected as grabs or as composites;

The total number of samples collected at that sampling point for that pollutant;

The number of samples in which the pollutant was not detected;

The typical detection limit or range of detection limits for that sampling point for that pollutant;

The average concentration of the pollutant;

The calculation methodology used to determine the average concentration when some or all measurements were not detected ( see the following detailed description);

The maximum concentration of the pollutant;

The minimum concentration of the pollutant; and

The average flow rate at this sampling point during the sampling period for that pollutant.

At the top of the table for Question 21( a) and 21( b), you are also required to provide the range of dates in which data were collected. Complete the table, one page per sampling point, one row per pollutant parameter. If you have provided these data elsewhere in the survey, do NOT repeat it in this question. Indicate that the data are provided elsewhere on the Comments page for this section. 21 Pollutant Parameter Codes Pollutant Parameter Code Pollutant Parameter Name Pollutant Parameter Code Pollutant Parameter Name P 1 Acute Toxicity ( ceriodaphmia) P 16 Oil and Grease, Total Recoverable P 2 Acute Toxicity ( pimephales) P 17 pH P 3 Ammonia as Nitrogen P 18 Soluble Reactive Phosphorus ( as P)

Not Detected ( ND) 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 following averages could be calculated.

Result 1 Result 2 Method Average 100 ppb ND( 50 ppb) Used method detection limit ( 10 ppb) 55 ppb 100 ppb ND( 50 ppb) Used one half method detection limit ( 5 ppb) 52.5 ppb 100 ppb ND( 50 ppb) Used sample detection limit ( 50 ppb) 75 ppb 100 ppb ND( 50 ppb) Used one half sample detection limit ( 25 ppb) 62.5 ppb 100 ppb ND( 50 ppb) Used zero ( 0) 50 ppb Use the following list of ND Calculation Method Codes to complete Questions 21( a) and 21( b).
