RE: Review of Whole Industry Test Data, Coke Byproduct Chemical Plant Emissions, and Revised Clairton Byproducts Spreadsheet

Hi, Gabrielle.  Thanks for following up!

We have no further comments at this time on the emissions files you reference.  We look forward to receiving/reviewing the draft modeling file when it's available.

Hello,

The EPA just wanted to follow up and confirm if COETF had any further comments/revisions for the emissions files attached in the EPA's last email 2/16/2021. 

Please have all comment/revisions in by this Friday 2/26/2021, the EPA is going to send the coke modeling file for internal EPA QA on Monday 3/1/2021.

Thank you again,
Gabrielle

Hello,

Thank you very much for your review on all the emissions files.
Below are the EPA responses and revised files attached. 

Whole Industry Enc 1&2: 
COETF Comment: It is our understanding that the lb/hr emission rates in the Erie Coke pushing test report already accounted for pushing sampling time.  It was just the dioxins and furans emission rates that we believe EPA needed to correct in the August 2020 version of the spreadsheet. 
EPA Response: Re-reviewed industry's August 2020 and confirmed comment about adjusting for pushing was only for D/F emissions. Fixed the non-D/F emissions that were incorrectly adjusted. 
No followup questions.
Revised file attached:

Byproducts: 
COETF Comment: For the Coke Byproducts Chemical Plant spreadsheet, we noted that we failed to include emissions from the Clairton aeration basin and byproducts pitch traps, which we have added.  Accordingly, we are including the revised stand-alone Clairton byproducts emissions spreadsheet that lists these emissions.  Please note that we have included these revised Clairton emissions in the "Clairton" tab of the industry byproducts spreadsheet.  The addition of these Clairton byproducts emissions was noted in the Coke 2017 EIS-NEI noncategory-other-units spreadsheet that Mary Kaplan is sending today, and we wanted to alert EPA of any inadvertent "double-counting" of these emissions. 
EPA Response: 
Thank you, will update file for Clairton revisions, industry averages, and final facility TPY values. 
Will cross check the Coke 2017 EIS-NEI noncategory-other-units spreadsheet to delete any double counting of emissions.
No followup questions.

Method 303: 
COETF Comment: We have no comments
EPA Response: Thank you for your final review.
Fugitive Pushing: 
COETF Comment: We have no comments 
EPA Response: Thank you for your final review.
The Whole industry Enc 1&2 file revisions resulted in changes to the foundry emission factors used in this file, updated values.
