HI SSI ICR Recipients:

This email will address some of the action items that came up in today's

meeting. You will note that we will be following up in a separate email

with the remaining action items. As questions come up, please do not

hesitate to contact EPA.

I don't think that I have all the email addresses for everyone who was on

the call, I just have the main entity contacts, please be sure to forward

this on to other members of your teams who also participated in this

call. If convenient, maybe NACWA could collect a participant call list

(non EPA list) and email it to me as well? As I am going through my notes

I believe that I am missing some participant names.

Best,

Amy Hambrick

1. Attachments to Enclosure 6, which are identified as "Enclosure 4 -

Attachment A" and "Enclosure 4 - Attachment B." Can you simply confirm

for us that these Enclosures do in fact go with Enclosure 6 as they are

placed in the packet and that they are not out of order?

Yes, Enclosure 6 has two parts: "enclosure 4 A" and "enclosure 4 B".

Please note that enclosure "4" is a typo and should have been "6". But to

clarify, "enclosure 4 A" and "enclosure 4 B" do belong to enclosure 6 of

the ICR dated 10/23/09.

2. Copy of SSI Court Order

Please see attached "sec 112 signed final deadline order.pdf" Please note

that this order addresses multiple rules. The SSI final signature deadline

in December 16, 2010.

3. EPA call attendeesPlease see the attached "EPA call participants SSI 12.1.09".

4. Test Plan example

Please refer to enclosure 7 in your packet, or see attached enclosure 7.

Please note that we will be following up with sending a working electronic

file of the Electronic Reporting Tool that you may use to develop your

test plan.

5. Testing extension

EPA would like to gain a better understanding of how much time would be

needed. If this situation applies to your entity, please email EPA as soon

as possible with the following information:

-outline and document your specific situation

-propose an amount of time you think you would need

EPA will review your written emailed request and submit a written response

back to you. EPA would like to work with you to try to accommodate your

needs, but we must also stay on track to meet our deadline.Re: Action Item: Follow-Up from December 1, 2009 SSI Call with 9-ICR

Show Details

All,

I received a call this morning, requesting more clarification on the below

email that I sent yesterday. Please note the tables emailed to you

yesterday were copied from the ICR letter dated 10/23/09. The pollutants

that EPA is requesting testing for are outlined in the ICR letter and

further detailed in Enclosure 2: Testing Component. Enclosure 7, the

example test plan was included only to provide an example of what the test

plan in the Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT) could look like. EPA is

updating the ERT test plan to provide a working electronic template for

you to model your test plans after.

Again, please use the ICR letter and Enclosure 2 as direction to what

pollutants EPA is asking you to test for.

Please submit any existing test data (in the past 5 years) in the form of

test reports (by email or CD), to EPA as soon as possible so that EPA can

verify what additional pollutants must be tested for your specific entity.

EPA will also communicate if any test run times for the existing data are

not acceptable.

If your entity needs to test for any of the pollutants listed because of

1) existing data is deemed not acceptable by EPA or 2) there is no

existing data, then please follow testing instructions as outlined in the

ICR.

Re-attached is an updated survey (as of this morning). (Should be

bug-free).

Please call/ email with more questions.

Warmest,

Please be sure to forward this on to your team members as I only have

email addresses for main site contacts.

ICR COMPONENT II: TESTING REQUIREMENTS

Action Item: Follow-Up from December 1, 2009 SSI Call with 9-ICR Recipients

Testing Capacity

EPA recommends that testing is done at maximum capacity. If you can not

operate the unit at maximum load or operating, please document what load

or operating conditions were used during the testing and please explain

expected differences between test results for maximum capacity versus for

the capacity at which you tested.

Pollutants EPA requested testing for as outline in the October 23, 2009

ICR

Table 1 -- CAA Section 129 pollutants

Cadmium (Cd) Opacity

Carbon monoxide (CO) Oxides of nitrogen (NOx)

Dioxin/ dibenzofurans (D/F) Particulate matter (PM)

Hydrogen chloride (HCl) Particulate Matter less than 2.5 microns (PM2.5)

Lead (Pb) Filterable Particulate Matter (FPM)

Mercury (Hg) Condensable Particulate Matter (CPM)

Sulfur dioxide (SO2)

Table 2 -- Additional testing/analysis are required for the following

pollutants:

Metals: hydrogen fluoride (HF)

antimony (Sb) polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)

arsenic (As) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)

beryllium (Be)

chromium (Cr)cobalt (Co)

manganese (Mn)

nickel (Ni)

phosphorous (P)

selenium (Se)

For your information the following air pollutants of interest are also

pollutants regulated by the Clean Water Act part 503: Arsenic (As),

Beryllium (Be), Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr), Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg),

Nickel (Ni), Total Hydro Carbon (THC) or Carbon monoxide (CO) -

-operational standard

Please also refer to: <

http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/area/area_source_list_112202.pdf > for the list

of CAA section 112 Urban Hazardous Air Pollutants for Area Source

Categories.

Please note that a number of pollutants in Table 2 over lap with air

pollutants of interest as regulated under CWA part 503 and CAA section 112

Urban HAP list.

Testing Clarification: What pollutants must I conduct testing for and how

long should the test runs be?

The testing component of this ICR directs SSI unit owners to submit test

results for all pollutants listed in Table 1 and Table 2 (above). This

may be a combination of documentation from new testing which you conduct

in response to this ICR or existing documentation if the testing was

conducted within the past five years or you may submit the last 30 days of

Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) data including those days

where manual testing was conducted.

Please submit any existing test data (in the past 5 years) in the form of

test reports (by email or CD), to EPA as soon as possible so that EPA can

verify what additional pollutants must be tested for your specific entity.

EPA will also communicate if any test run times for the existing data are

not acceptable.

If your entity needs to test for any of the pollutants listed because of

1) existing data is deemed not acceptable by EPA or 2) there is no

existing data, then please follow testing instructions as outlined in the

ICR.

Should you have any additional questions, please contact me via email or

by calling 919-541-0964. Attached is also a copy of the most updated

survey, as I understand there were some problems with a previous version.

The survey is due December 19, 2009.
