Brown ( brown.bvron@epa.gov) Cc: Schreibel, Thomas B (57936) Subject: Meeting Request: Kohler Company Hello Mandy and Byron: I am reaching out to you on behalf of the Kohler Company with a request to meet with the appropriate person from the Administrator's office and the Office of Air and Radiation regarding EPA's upcoming ozone attainment designation for Wisconsin. We would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you or Assistant Administrator Wehrum on this critical issue. The essential details of the issue are below and we thank you for any advice or insight you could provide on the best way to convene a conversation. The best dates of availability for Kohler are April 10th and the 16th. Topic: Equitable and Accurate Ozone Attainment Designation Background: The EPA is due to issue its final ozone attainment designations by April 30, which could impact Kohler Company, located in Sheboygan County Wisconsin. The EPA issued a draft on December 20, 2017 that outlined the proposed lines for Sheboygan County. The area extends approximately 3 to 5 miles inland from the lakeshore. Specifically, the portion of Sheboygan County inclusive and east of the following roadways with the boundary starting from north to south: Union Road which turns into County Road Y which turns into Highland Drive, to Lower Road which turns into Monroe Street, to Broadway/Main Street to Highway 32 which turns into Giddings Avenue to County Road W to County Road KW. Governor Scott Walker and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources submitted their plan to the EPA on February 28, 2018 where Governor Walker calls for the entire state of Wisconsin to be placed in attainment. However the Governor and WDNR also recognize that if this cannot be done, the best solution based on sound science is to create a line 2.3 miles in from the shores of Lake Michigan in Sheboygan County. Kohler supports the WDNR's position of drawing a 2.3 miles line. Attendees: Buddy Robinson Sr. Vice President, General Counsel, Corporate Secretary & Business Development, Kohler Natalie Maciolek Lead Attorney - Kohler Mike Cassidy - Manager- EHS Technical Resources - Kohler Tom Schreibel Michael Best Strategies About Kohler: Kohler Company is one of the largest privately operated firms in the United States.
