ENCLOSURE 2

Test Procedures, Methods and Reporting Requirements for the Information Collection 

Request for the Ferroalloys Production Manufacturing Emission Points 

This document provides an overview of approved methods, target pollutants and units of 

measure, and reporting requirements for ferroalloys manufacturing facilities required to provide 

emission test data and material sampling data based on the section 114 letter. The purpose for 

this testing is to gather data on air pollutant emissions from emissions points in this source 

category. All recipients must complete and submit test results no later than August 31, 2010, 

unless you are able to negotiate a plant-specific deadline with EPA. Any requests for such an 

extension should be supported by a valid reason why the deadline cannot be met as specified. 

This document will be referred to as the “Ferroalloys Production test program”. The document is 

organized as follows: 

1.0 Testing Procedures and Methods

2.0 How to Report Data 

3.0 How to Submit Data 

4.0 Contact Information for Questions on Test Plan and Reporting 

1.0 Testing Procedures and Methods

The EPA test program requires emissions and other test data for several pollutants. EPA 

understands that you own a ferroalloy production manufacturing facility that is a potential major 

source of hazardous air pollutant emissions. For each ferroalloy production manufacturing 

facility that you own, you are required to perform a stack test or conduct sampling to determine 

your emissions, if any, of the following pollutants:

Depending on the configuration of the facility, the type of ferroalloys produced, and the 

design of the overall test program, you will be required to determine emissions using stack tests, 

material analyses, and/or visual emissions observations. We understand that emission testing for 
4/21/10

air pollutants may have been recently completed for some or all of the facilities. In that case, we 

are not requesting additional emission testing, but only the submittal of the test reports 

representative of your current operations. Please note that it may be acceptable to test a subset of 

the operations if you demonstrate that the operations in the subset are representative of the other 

untested subsets. Prior EPA approval would be required if you choose to test a subset of the 

sources. If you intend to submit past test data or test data representative of subset operations, 

you must do so by May 15, 2010 because if EPA determines that such data are not 

representative, you will need to conduct the testing required by this ICR and submit the test 

results by August 31, 2010. 

Please refer to the cover letter of this packet (CAA section 114 letter) for additional 

testing information, including the specific sources to be tested at your facility. Please note that 

you do not have to submit a test plan to EPA for approval prior to testing; however, we 

recommend that you prepare a test plan for your own use to assist in the planning and to verify 

that you address all of the testing and reporting requirements. Please note that you also must 

report your process and emissions testing data using the EPA Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT), 

where applicable. The ERT requires you to report most elements of a test plan. Enclosure 7 of 

this ICR provides an example of the EPA ERT test plan. You are directed to the ERT 

(http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ert/ert_tool.html) for a more complete and interactive description 

of these test plan elements.

1.1 How to Select Sample Location and Gas Composition Analysis Methods

You must use EPA Method 1 of Appendix A of Part 60 to select the locations and 

number of traverse points for sampling except as otherwise specified in section 1.2 and the 

associated tables below except as otherwise specified in section 1.2 and the associated tables 

below. See http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/methods/method1.html for a copy of the method and 

guidance information for sampling situations not meeting Method 1 criteria.

For analysis of flue gas composition, including oxygen concentration, you must use EPA 

Method 3A or 3B of Appendix A of Part 60. See 

http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/methods/method3a.html for Method 3A or 

http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/methods/method3b.html for Method 3B information.

For information on where you must conduct simultaneous sampling, see Tables 1 through 

5. 

1.2 Test Methods and Reporting

Tables 1 through 5 present a summary of the recommended test methods for each 

pollutant and possible alternative methods. For copies of the recommended U.S. EPA methods, 

Performance Specifications (if applicable) and additional information, please refer to EPA’s 
4/21/10

5

Emission Measurement Center website: http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/. For copies of the 

recommended U.S. EPA SW-846 methods, please refer to EPA’s SW-846 Online website: 

http://www.epa.gov/waste/hazard/testmethods/sw846/index.htm. If you would like to use a 

method not on this list, please contact EPA for approval of an alternative method. Please direct 

test method and reporting questions to the contacts identified in Section 4.0 of this enclosure. 

Each test should include three test runs at each sampling location. In some cases, testing 

is to be performed for the identified pollutants after the last control device (i.e., stack or other 

point representing the composition of the flue gases at the exit to the atmosphere). In other 

cases, testing at the inlet of the control device is specified. In the case of positive pressure fabric 

filters, conduct a single line multi-point sampling traverse of the exhaust of one compartment of 

the fabric filter using the procedure for setting isokinetic sampling rates as described in Method 

5D. Please note that each emission source selected for testing must be operated under conditions 

that are representative of normal production and operation during testing. If conducting a test on 

a fabric filter, the compartment selected should be one recently refitted with new bags. 

All pollutant concentrations should be corrected to 7% oxygen and should be reported on 

the same moisture basis. The recommended units of concentration for each pollutant vary, and 

are listed in the test method tables. Report the results of your stack tests according to the 

directions provided in Section 2.0 of this enclosure. In addition to the emission test data, we also 

require a report of the following process information taken at the time of the emissions test: heat 

input; material description, composition and feed rate; production rate, emissions control devices 

in use during the test; control device operating or monitoring parameters (including, as 

appropriate to the control device, flue gas flow rate, pressure drop, scrubber liquor pH, scrubber 

liquor flow rate, sorbent type and sorbent injection rate); and any pollution prevention or other 

hazardous air pollutant emission reduction approaches being implemented during the test 

program. Make clear, using the Notes section of the Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT)

1

or 

spreadsheet the correlation between emissions measurements and process data (e.g., identify 

Method 23, run 1 for the associated process data on the process data details tab of the ERT).

a) Note that you must measure CO2 concentrations at both the inlet and outlet of the positive pressure fabric filter in 

conjunction with the pollutant sampling in order to correct pollutant concentrations for dilution and to determine 

isokinetic sampling rates. You may use either Method 3A or 3B (with integrated bag sampling).

b) For Method 5 testing only, you may choose to collect less than 4 cubic meters per run provided that the filterable 

mass collected (e.g., net filter mass plus mass of nozzle, probe and filter holder rinses) is equal to or greater than 10 

mg. If the total mass collected for two or three of the runs is less than 10 mg, you must conduct at least one 

additional test run that produces at least 10 mg of filterable mass collected (i.e., at a greater sample volume). Report 

the results of all test runs. 

c) If both mercury and other metals will be tested using EPA Method 29, the stack test company should be diligent 

in the set-up and handling of the impingers to avoid cross contamination of the manganese from the permanganate 

into the metals catch. Alternately, the contractor may want to collect mercury using a separate train from the train 

used to collect the other metals

d) Method 29 in Appendix A-8 to part 60 of this chapter can also be used for Hg, but follow the procedures for 

preparation of Hg standards and sample analysis in sections 13.4.1.1 through 13.4.1.3 of ASTM D6784-02 instead 

of the procedures in sections 7.5.33 and 11.1.3 of Method 29, and perform the QA/QC procedures in section 13.4.2 

of ASTM D6784-02 instead of the procedures in section 9.2.3 of Method 29. The tester may also opt to use the 

sample recovery and preparation procedures in ASTM D6784-02 instead of the Method 29 procedures, as follows: 

sections 8.2.8 and 8.2.9.1 of Method 29 can be replaced with sections 13.2.9.1 through 13.2.9.3 of ASTM D6784-02 

; sections 8.2.9.2 and 8.2.9.3 of Method 29 can be replaced with sections 13.2.10.1 through 13.2.10.4 of ASTM 

D6784-02; section 8.3.4 of Method 29 can be replaced with section 13.3.4 or 13.3.6 of ASTM D6784-02 (as 

appropriate); and section 8.3.5 of Method 29 can be replaced with section 13.3.5 or 13.3.6 of ASTM D6784-02 (as 

appropriate).

1.2.3 Visible Emissions from Furnace Building Fugitive Emission Sources and Control 

Device Outlets

As instructed in the ICR cover letter, if you do not conduct routine visible emissions 

(Method 22 or Method 9) monitoring of the furnace building roof monitor and/or control device 

outlet, conduct the following observations, consistent with the requirements of 40 CFR 

63.11528(b) and (c).

 Conduct a 60-minute Method 9 opacity observation of the furnace building roof monitor 

during normal operations. 

 Conduct a 60-minute Method 22 visible emissions observation of each EAF control 

device outlet that is tested. 

2.0 How to Report Data 

The method for reporting the results of any testing and monitoring requests depend on the 

type of tests and methods used to complete the test requirements. This section discusses the 

requirements for reporting the data. 

2.1 Reporting Stack Test Data

If you conduct testing using one of the methods listed in Table 2, you must report your 

data using the EPA ERT. At present, only these methods are supported by the ERT. ERT is a 

Microsoft® Access database application. Two versions of the ERT application are available. If 

you are not a registered owner of Microsoft® Access, you can install the runtime version of the 

ERT Application. Both versions of the ERT are available at 

http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ert/ert_tool.html. The ERT supports an Excel spreadsheet 

application (which is included in the files downloaded with the ERT) to document the collection 

of the field sampling data. After completing the ERT, you will also need to attach an electronic 

copy of the emission test report (i.e., complete reports with process description, field and

analytical data sheets, and the calculations and preferably in PDFformat) to the Attachments 

module of the ERT.
4/21/10

Table 7: List of Test Methods Currently Supported by ERT

EPA Test Methods (40 CFR parts 60 and 61; EMC website, 

http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/tmethods.html; and SW 846, 

http://www.epa.gov/waste/hazard/testmethods/sw846/online/index.htm)

Methods 1 through 4 (testing locations, velocity, moisture, dilution gases)

Method 3A (O2 and CO2)

Method 5 (filterable PM)

Method 10 (CO)

Method 23 (PCDDS and PCDFs)

Methods 26 and 26A (HCl and HF)

Method 29 (multiple metals including Hg)

Method 0011 (SW 846) (aldehydes including formaldehyde)

If you conducted a stack test or material analysis using a method not currently supported 

by the ERT (e.g., Method 306 or SW-846), use the spreadsheets in the attached Microsoft®Excel 

Emission Test Reporting file for each method. The Excel spreadsheets are specific to the 

pollutants measured and test method. You must report the results of each test on the 

appropriately labeled worksheet corresponding to the specific tests requested at your facility. If 

more than one source at your facility was tested using methods not currently supported by the 

ERT, you must make a copy of the worksheet and update the source ID in order to distinguish 

between each separate test. After completing the worksheet, you must also submit an electronic 

copy of the emission test report (i.e., complete reports with process description, field and

analytical data sheets, and the calculations and preferably in PDF format).

2.2 Required Fields for ERT Reporting

Enclosure 7 provides an EPA ERT Version 3 example test plan and lists each field within 

the ERT and notes whether or not the field is required or optional.

2.3 Calculating and Reporting Values Measured Below Detection Levels

See Appendix A – Guidance for calculating and reporting measurements less than 

detection levels for emissions data collection (ICR) programs

Appendix A

Guidance for Calculating and Reporting Values Measured Below Method Detection Levels

Identify the status of measured values relative to detection levels on the spreadsheet or in the 

ERT using the following descriptions:

 BDL (below detection level) – all analytical values used to calculate and report an instack emissions value are less than the laboratory’s reported detection level(s); 

 DLL (detection level limited) – at least one but not all values used to calculate and report 

an in-stack emissions value are less than the laboratory’s reported detection level(s); or

 ADL (above detection level) – all analytical values used to calculate and report an instack emissions value are greater than the laboratory’s reported detection level(s).

 For reporting and calculating individual test run data

o For analytical data reported from the laboratory as “nondetect” or “below 

detection level;”

 Include a brief description of the procedures used to determine the 

analytical detection and in-stack detection levels:

 In the Notes line of Excel spreadsheet template; or

 In the Comments line of Lab Data tab in the Run Data Details in 

the ERT.

 Describe these procedures completely in the full test report including the 

measurements made, the standards used, and the statistical procedures 

applied.

 Calculate the in-stack emissions rate for any analytical result reported as 

below detection level using the relevant analytical detection level as the 

reported value. Note that the analytical detection level used in this 

calculation is not the analytical reporting level many laboratories 

provide. The analytical detection level is most often defined as the 

minimum concentration of a substance that can be measured and 

reported with 99 percent confidence that the value is above zero.3 The 

analytical reporting level is often an arbitrary multiplication of the 

method detection level. 

 Report the calculated emissions concentration or rate result: 

 As a bracketed “less than” detection level value (e.g., [<0.0105]) in 

the Excel spreadsheet template and include the appropriate flag 

in the Note line (see below); or 

 As a numerical value in the ERT with the appropriate flag in the 

Comments line (see below).

http://www.epa.gov/waste/hazard/testmethods/sw846/pdfs/8000b.pdf
4/21/10

2

 Report as numerical values (i.e., no brackets or < symbol) any analytical 

data measured above the detection limit including any data between the 

analytical detection level and a laboratory-specific reporting or 

quantification level (i.e., flag as ADL, see below).

 Apply these reporting and calculation procedures to measurements made 

with Method 23:

 Report data in the ERT for each of the D/F congeners measured 

with Method 23 below the detection level as [< detection level];

 Do not report emissions as zero, as described in the method.

 For identifying the status of measured values relative to in-stack method detection 

levels on the spreadsheet or in the ERT; for each reported emissions value, insert the 

appropriate flag (BDL, DLL, or ADL as defined below) in the Notes line of the Excel 

spreadsheet template or the Comments line of the Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT).

o BDL (below detection level) – all analytical values used to calculate and report an 

in-stack emissions value are less than the laboratory’s method detection level(s);

o DLL (detection level limited) – at least one but not all values used to calculate 

and report an in-stack emissions value are less than the laboratory’s method 

detection level(s); or 

o ADL (above detection level) - all analytical values used to calculate and report an 

in-stack emissions value are greater than the laboratory’s method detection 

level(s).
4/21/10

 For pollutant measurements composed of multiple components or fractions (e.g., Hg and 

other metals sampling trains) when the result for the value for any component is 

measured below the analytical detection level:

o Calculate in-stack emissions rate or concentrations as outlined above for each 

component or fraction; 

o Sum the measured and detection level values as outlined above using the in-stack 

emissions rate or concentrations for all of the components or fractions; and

o Report the sum of all components or fractions:

 As a bracketed “less than” detection level value (e.g., [<0.0105]) in the 

Excel spreadsheet template and include the appropriate flag in the Note 

line; or 

 As a numerical value in the ERT with the appropriate flag in the 

Comments line.

o Report also the individual component or fraction values for each run if the Excel 

spreadsheet template or ERT format allows; if not (i.e., the format allows 

reporting only a single sum value):

 For the Excel spreadsheet template, next to the sum reported as above 

report in the Notes line the appropriate flag along with the values for the 

measured or detection level value for each component or fraction as used 

in the calculations (e.g., 0.036, [<0.069], 1.239, [<0.945] for a four 

fraction sample)

 For the ERT, next to the sum reported as above, report on the Comments

line the appropriate flag and the measured or detection level value for each 

component or fraction as used in the calculations (e.g., 0.036, [<0.069], 

1.239, [<0.945] for a four fraction sample)

 For measurements conducted using instrumental test methods (e.g., Methods 3A, 6C, 7E, 

10, 25A):

o Record gaseous concentration values as measured including negative values and 

flag as ADL; do not report as BDL

o Calculate and report in-stack emissions rates using these measured values

o Include relevant information relative to calibration gas values or other technical 

qualifiers for measured values in Comments line in the ERT

 For reporting and calculating average emissions rate or concentration for a test when 

some results are reported as BDL

o Sum all of the test run values including those indicated as BDL or DLL as 

numerical values

o Calculate the average emissions rate or concentration (e.g., divide the sum by 3 

for a three-run test)

o Report the average emissions rate or concentration average:

 As a bracketed “less than” detection level value (e.g., [<20.06]) in 

the Excel spreadsheet template and include the appropriate flag 

in the Note line

As a numerical value in the ERT and include the appropriate flag in the 

relevant Comments line
