General comment for all other emission test methods spreadsheet data: Since the ERT 

would not allow less than values entered in the results, the other emission test 

methods spreadsheet were enter in the same manner. For Data Flags DLL and BDL, the 

results should be considered less than values.

CO Emission Data: Method 10 entered in ERT.

Formaldehyde Emission Data: USEPA Method 316 entered.

CH4 Emission Data: USEPA Method 18 results entered. Run 1 bag leaked, an additional

run 4 was added.

SO2 Emission Data: USEPA Method 6C entered in ERT. 

Hg Emission Data 30B: USEPA Method 30B results entered. The measured value and the

emission rate value in lb/mmBtu are an average of both tubes (A&B). On run 3, the 

tubes stuck in the probe and were broken while trying to recover. No samples 

available for analysis on run 3 due to breakage.

Speciated Volatile Organic HAP: USEPA Method 31 results entered. The Rpt. Limit 

was substituted for Not Detected values.

Compounds other than those listed in method 0031 section 1.1, may exhibit poor 

recovery from the

Anasorb. In addition the laboratory method has not been validated for recovery of 

these additional

compounds from Anasorb and the values are semi-quantitative in nature and reported 

as estimated.

Each tube was spiked with Dibromofluoromethane, 1,2-Dichloroethane-d4, Toluene-d8 

and

4-Bromofluorobenzene prior to shipment to the field as an additional QC step.

The recoveries of surrogates Dibromofluoromethane and 1,2-Dichloroethane-d4 in 

samples

M0031-R1-TS4-C4-Anasorb, M0031-R2-TS1-C4-Anasorb, and M0031-R2-TS2-C4-Anasorb was

outside control limits. It is not possible to re-run to confirm matrix or dilute for

matrix using sorbent

tube media. Data is reported as qualified.

The recovery of surrogate Toluene-d8 in samples M0031-R1-TS1-C4-Anasorb,

M0031-R1-TS2-C4-Anasorb, M0031-R1-TS3-C4-Anasorb, M0031-R1-TS4-C4-Anasorb,

M0031-R2-TS1-C4-Anasorb, and M0031-R2-TS2-C4-Anasorb was outside control limits. It 

is not

possible to re-run to confirm matrix or dilute for matrix using sorbent tube media. 

Data is reported as

qualified.

samples M0031-R2-TS3-C4-Anasorb, M0031-R2-TS4-C4-Anasorb, M0031-R3-TS1-C3-Anasorb,

M0031-R3-TS2-C4-Anasorb, M0031-R3-TS3-C4-Anasorb and M0031-R3-TS4-C4-Anasorb was

outside control limits. It is not possible to re-run to confirm matrix or dilute for

matrix using sorbent

limits. It is not possible to re-run to confirm matrix or dilute for matrix using 

sorbent tube media. Data

is reported as qualified. Since the surrogates were high, there is a high 

uncertainty of the data and the results may be biased.

Speciated Semi-Volatile Organic HAP: USEPA Method 0010 results entered. For Data 

Flags DLL and BDL, the results should be considered less than values.

HCN Emission Data: USEPA Conditional Test Method 033 results entered. Run 1 failed

pH criteria, an additional run 4 was added. A high spike recovery may bias results,

but all results were ND (non-detects).

HCl Emission Data: Method 26A entered in ERT. 

HF Emission Data: Method 26A entered in ERT. 

NOx Emission Data: Method 7E entered in ERT.
