Description of Occurrence:

Samples taken from'the discharge canal and at point 20 on June 16, 19/5, indicate that chloride concentration in the discharge canal was higher i

than chloride concentration at point'20 by 102 mg/1. ETS limit is i

Corrective Action:

We are reviewing our ETS chemical limits with the Arkansas Department of.

Pollution Control and Ecology.

It has been determined that there is no basis for many of ou'r ETS chemical discharge limits and that our water sampling and testing program does not verify that we are or are not 4

meeting the conditions of our permits to discharge issued by the Arkansas Department of Pollution Control and Ecology or the EPA.
