Hamel, Esq. Assistant Attorney General Office of the Attorney General 1525 Sherman Street, 5th Floor Denver, Colorado 80203. Mr. Clayton W. Trumpolt, P.E. Engineer Hazardous Waste Cleanup and Permitting Unit HMWMD-HWC-B2 4300 Cherry Creek Drive South Denver, Colorado 80222-1530 Dear Mr. Hamel and Mr. Trumpolt: This letter is written to request the Division's approval of a class 1 permit modification to the Final RCRA permit issued on December 8,1997. As we discussed in our telephone conversations, Kodak does not perceive the Corrective Action Module, as issued, to be consistent with the resolution that was agreed to in our meeting of October 22, 1997, to address Kodak's concern that it must be provided with a meaningful opportunity for a hearing or a Dispute Resolution Procedure prior to the agency's imposition of new requirements to conduct more extensive assessments, additional remedial measures, etc. At the meeting we were advised that the Division would use the agency-initiated permit modification procedures in the regulations to add new requirements or require revision of submissions. To the extent that the - Division and Kodak agree to such additions or revisions, they would be implemented via a Kodak-initiated class 1 permit modification with prior agency approval. Kodak agreed to that resolution. The permit, as issued, provides (in each of the paragraphs wherein we requested a Dispute Resolution Procedure be made available) that the permit will be modified by either a class 1 permit modification, with prior approval, or Kodak Official Imaging JoAnn E.Gould,Attorney,Corporate Legal Staff Sponsor f°l the Olympic Games Eastman Kodak Company•343 State Street•Rochester, New York 14650-0217 Telephone: (716)781-5534•Facsimile: (716)724-5515 `R' --2 an agency-initiated class 1 permit modification. In our December 18, 1997 telephone conversation, Mr. Hamel acknowledged that the Division's regulations do not authorize an agency-initiated class 1 modification. He indicated that the "agency-initiated class 1 modification" language is not what was intended, and that the permit would be revised to correct any such references. For your convenience, we have identified the paragraphs and the language that must be revised. 1V.D.3., page 34: Delete the last sentence which currently reads: "Any new investigation requirement by the Division would be incorporated into the permit as a class 1 permit modification with prior approval or as a class 1 permit modification." Replace with the following: "Any new investigation requirement by the Division would be incorporated into the permit as a class 1 permit modification with prior approval or through an agency-initiated permit modification." 1V.E.3., page 35: Delete words "as" and "class 1" (underlined) from the sentence which currently reads: "The plan shall be incorporated into the Permit as a class 1 permit modification with prior approval or as an agency-initiated class 1 permit modification." Replace "as" with "through" so that it reads: "The plan shall be incorporated into the Permit as a class 1 permit modification with prior approval or through an agency-initiated permit modification." IV.F., page 36 Delete the portion of the last sentence which currently reads: "A Plan for such investigation will be submitted to the Division as a class 1 permit modification with prior approval or as an agency-initiated class 1 permit modification ..." Replace with the following: "A Plan for such investigation will be submitted to the Division as a class 1 permit modification with prior approval or be required through an agency-initiated permit modification --3 IV.G.2., page 37 Delete the existing paragraph. Replace with the following: "RFI Workplans will be submitted by Permittee as class 1 permit modifications with prior approval, or if the Division does not approve a Workplan, the Division will initiate a permit modification to define the terms of the Workplan." IV.1.2., pages 38-39, (paragraph 3) Delete the underlined words "as" and "class 1" in the sentence which currently reads: "If the Division disapproves the Report, the Division shall notify the Permittee in writing of the Report's deficiencies and specify a due date for submittal of a revised RFI Final Report as an agency-initiated class 1 permit modification". Replace "as" with "through" so that it reads: "If the Division disapproves the Report, the Division shall notify the Permittee in writing of the Report's deficiencies and specify a due date for submittal of a revised RFI Final Report through an agency-initiated permit modification." IV.J., page 39 Delete the underlined words "as" and "class 1" in the 2n° sentence which currently reads: "These will be submitted as a class 1 permit modification with prior approval or as an agency-initiated class 1 permit modification." Replace "as" with "through" so that it r ads: "These will be subni ited as a class 1 permit modification with prior approval or through an agency-initiated permit modification." IV.L.1., page 40 Because Kodak recognizes the Division's authority to require a CMS, delete the sentence which reads: "This notice shall constitute an agency-initiated permit modification or if instigated by the Permittee, as a class 1 permit modification." --4 IV.L.3., pages 40-41 Delete the "as" and the "class 1" from the third sentence, which currently reads: "Either option shall be processed as an agency- initiated class 1 permit modification." Replace the "as" with "through", so that the sentence reads: "Either option shall be processed through an agency-initiated permit modification." IV.N.2., page 41 Delete the underlined words "in" and "class 1" from the sentence which currently reads "If the Division disapproves the final report, the Division shall notify the Permittee in writing of deficiencies in the report in an agency-initiated class 1 permit modification and specify a due date for submittal of a revised Final Report." And replace the "in" with "through" so it reads: "If the Division disapproves the final report, the Division shall notify the Permittee in writing of deficiencies in the report, through an agency-initiated permit modification." IV.N.3., page 41 Delete the words "in" and "class 1" from the last sentence, which currently reads: "additional work would be specified in an agency- initiated class 1 permit modification." making it read: "additional work would be specified through an agency-initiated permit modification." I spoke with Mr. Hamel on January 9, 1998 and confirmed that this proposed modification is approved and appropriate changes in the permit will be issued.
