Thanks for your email. Felman is on schedule to perform stack testing in June. We are in the process of

finalizing a stack test protocol with our vendor and should have that complete by next week. We wouldappreciate the review of your in-house experts in advance of the testing, and will get you a copy of the

complete protocol as soon as we have it.

Subject: Re: Meeting with Ferroalloys Industry on 5/1/2012 --follow upGood morning

During our meeting on 5/1, I heard that both Felman and Eramet are planning to perform the compliance

tests in June. Both plants plan to test for HAPs that will be regulated for the first time (HCI, formaldehyde,

PAHs, mercury, etc.).I would think that you might want to provide a copy of your test plan for us to review soon. We have our

in-house test experts ready and willing to review your test plans.

Conrad:Eramet Marietta has asked me to let you know that the company intends to add testing for the four newly regulated HAPs to its compliance stack testing scheduled for the week of July 23. The testing schedule is based on the Marietta facility’s production schedule, the test firm’s availability, and the company’s permit

obligation to provide at least 30 days advance notice to Ohio EPA.

I should be able to forward details regarding the test plan in the near future.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

(would think that you might want to provide a copy of your test plan for us to review soon. We have our

in-house test experts ready and willing to review your test plans.

For your reference, I am attaching a copy of the ICR Enclosure that we sent out in April 2010, which

provided the suggested test methods at that time.

Good morning AmyThanks for the heads up.

A colleague provided an aerial photo of the Felman furnace building, and it seems that there are

“stack-like” roof vents for the release of fugitive emissions. We would like to investigate the possibility and feasibility of conducting stack sampling at these roof vents, and considering to request Felman to test

these vents in June.

Could we set up a call for this purpose next week (week of June 4)?

Have a great weekend!
