RE: Pump coolant
Amy,
Thank you for your quick reply. The option of using glycol in the cooling jacket has been eliminated, so the approved
application should still be applicable.

Subject: RE: Pump coolant
Loren,
We have been considering propylene glycol antifreeze to be a potential groundwater hazardous material. In this case
because the total amount of material is only 27 gallons, and the total glycol is 5.3 gallons, we should look at how the
material is being managed to determine what the next steps should be. As I said on the phone, I am interested in
whether or not the concrete sump can provide secondary containment for the glycol.

Subject: Pump coolant
Amy,
Attached are a couple of documents that describe the glycol portion of the coolant the pump suppliers would like to use
in the pump jackets to prevent corrosion. This material is propylene glycol which is the "safe" antifreeze, and does not
contain methanol and ethylene glycol found in regular antifreeze. Please confirm whether you consider this material to
be hazardous for drinking water protection purposes. Thanks!
Volume:
3 Pumps
Coolant - 8.8 gallons per pump
Coolant composition: 80% water; 20% glycol
Total volume of glycol: 5.3 gallons
