We have reviewed the additional information submitted (reference (d)) in support of your request for withdrawal of the referenced citation associated with the inspection conducted by Mr. L. J. Hueter on August 28-29, 1985.
We were unable to make a thorough review of your evaluation because insufficient detail was provided regarding the bases for your analysis.
Moreover, the value of the parameter, v, based on Reynold's Number and the criterion for selecting the particular value were not given. However, the final result of your evaluation appears to be that the liquid waste di.scharge was diluted in 30,500 gallons of water over a dispersion length of 577 feet.
Inasmuch as, the liquid waste discharge was 2700 gallons with a concentration of about 30 times MPC, this dilution would only reduce the average concentration in the release to approximately 2.6 times MPC.
Based on this consideration, we believe withdrawal of the citation would be inappropriate. We reviewed your corrective actions for this event during our inspections of November 25-27, 1985, and February 4-6, 1986.
These actions appear to be adequate and we have no further questions regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
,
