Re:
DearDr. Rangan:
As directed,I write in responseto your letter datedDecember1,2016 and the
Public Health Directive issuedto Anaplex Corporation("Anaplex"). First off: I want to assure
the Departmentof Public Health that'Anaplexis committedto operatingin full compliancewith
all applicableenvironmentalrequirements,includingthe SouthCoastAir Quality Management
District's stringentregulationsand the Department'sPublic Health Directive. Sincewe began
operationsat the facility, we have worked closelywith the District engineeringand compliance
staff, and will continueto do so to addressthe complianceissuesraisedby the AQMD together
with the AQMD's proposedOrder for Abatement.
You requestedthat Anaplex provide "a list of actionsto be taken,and proposed
actions"with respectto this Public Health Directive, Our plan forward is dynamic,in that we
haveyet to meet and confer with AQMD legal and technicalstaff. As you may know, the Order
for Abatementmust include list of actionsand schedulewithin which all actionsaie to be
completed,Anaplex fully intendsto comply with the Order for Abatement. Our initial
investigationleadsus to believe there may be misunderstandings
in the information collectedby
AQMD or in the databeing assessed
by AQMD from perimetermonitoring operationsaround
Anaplex.
That said,we provide below a focusedsummaryof actionsthat Anaplex is taking
to addressthis issue:
