BATTEN, KATIE M <KMBATTEN@suncoke.com>

Katie - Thank you for the update. Yes, please send me the contact information for Cokenergy, LLC: physical address, mailing address, person to contact, and phone number. Is the property on which the HRSGs and Main stacks located also owned by Coke Energy? Our records show one main stack and 16 waste eat stacks. How many HRSGs are there? 
Too bad Kris is leaving. Tell her I wish her the best. Let me know your best guess as far as Enclosure 1 submittal.

Hi Donna Lee,
Email received.  Apologies for the delayed response, but I was out on vacation.  
We are reviewing the 114 request in detail and realized that you requested testing of the main stack at the Indiana Harbor facility.  As noted in previous correspondence, we do not own or operate that equipment, a third party does.  The heat recovery steam generators, pollution control equipment and main stack at Indiana Harbor are owned and operated by Cokenergy, LLC.  I can re-send their contact information if you need me to, but the request for testing and information for their equipment will need to be sent to them.  We will do our best to complete the remainder of the survey responses in Enclosure 1 that relate to the equipment we own at Indiana Harbor.
As we noted in our previous correspondence, the timeframes to complete the requested information are exceedingly short and the requests cannot be fully completed as outlined in the provided schedule.  We will do our best to provide the detailed explanation of stack testing problems within 35 days, along with our preliminary feedback on other aspects of the timeline.  
Lastly, Kris Singleton will be leaving SunCoke at the end of the month, so please continue to send all correspondence to me.  Please note that she was primarily responsible for completing enclosure 1 of our 114 response several years ago, which exacerbates the problems raised by the timelines of the 114 request.  I would be happy to discuss with you the parameters of a more feasible timeframe for completing enclosure 1 if you are amenable to a conversation about this.
 
Thanks,

Hello Ms. Batten, 
 
I hope this email finds you well. Attached you'll find a Clean Air Act Section (CAA) section 114 information and test request letter signed on June 28, 2022, that requests information from SunCoke's East Chicago, IN, Vansant, VA, and Franklin Furnace, OH, coke oven battery facilities. Please read the letter carefully and respond to this email acknowledging your receipt of the letter. Along with the letter I have attached the following files:
 
-- Enclosures 1&2 as PDF files
      -- Enclosures #3 through #9 as a combined PDF file (these are standard enclosures we include with all section 114 requests)
-- 1 Excel file to use to submit data to Enclosure 1 to be used by each of the SunCoke facilities
-- 2 Excel files to use to submit data to Enclosure 2 to be used by each of the SunCoke facilities, as needed
 
Please let me know if you have any questions about this request.
 
Thank you in advance for your efforts on this CAA section 114 request.
