Dr. Jones and Gabrielle,

Please see the attached ArcelorMittal Monessen Coke ICR data file that was updated to address your questions. We have also provided the following description of the revisions below to assist with your review.
Excel file Tab A-1 revisions:
 We added column AD (shaded light green) to show that EPA column AC data (Total Pushing process time of 12 minutes) is incorrect. Total Pushing time is only relevant to Pushing Baghouse test and Total Pushing process time needs to be deleted for Battery Combustion Stack #2 and Quench Tower testing. 
 Similarly, Total Charging process time of 11 minutes appears incorrect and is now column AE. This time is not relevant to Battery Combustion Stack #2 and Boiler #1 and #2, Pushing Baghouse tests or Quench Tower testing results and should be deleted. 
 We added, as comments, in Column BG in rows 812 & 815 showing the corrected lb/hr values for Quench tower testing PM filterable and PM2.5 Condensable. For the relevant Pushing Baghouse test only, we filled in new Column BI, shaded light green, (Pushing Time min/hr), and RTI/EPA said in the 5/22/20 email below that they would fill in BH (Industry Revised Emission Rate  -  NOT ADJUSTED for non-detectable values).  Please let us know when and how the emissions will be properly corrected to account for testing with non-detectable results so that EPA's emission estimates do not overestimate the emissions.
 Battery Combustion Stack #2  -  "USEPA is asking for PM2.5 filterable and PM2.5 condensable (highlighted orange in rows (39-44), TSO (Rows 174-176), SO2, CO and HCl (Rows 183-191).  In the test report (page 8 of pdf), it states that USEPA approved previously submitted testing which exempted them from conducting additional testing for TSO, HCl, PM2.5, condensable PM, SO2 and CO at the Battery 2 Combustion Stack.  Therefore, testing was not completed for the aforementioned constituents." Response: See attached Battery Combustion Stack #2 requested 2016 test results.
 Pushing Baghouse  -  "USEPA is asking for PM2.5 filterable and PM2.5 condensable (highlighted orange in rows (549-39-554, TSO (Rows 786-788), SO2, CO and HCl (Rows 795-803).  In the test report (page 8 of pdf), it states that USEPA approved previously submitted testing which exempted them from conducting additional testing for TSO, HCl, PM2.5, condensable PM, SO2 and CO at the Pushing Baghouse Stack.  Therefore, testing was not completed for the aforementioned constituents."  Response: Requested Pushing Baghouse 2016 test results will be provided in a second email due to the size of the requested test results files.

Hello,

After sending the EPA follow-up questions file, Donna Lee realized we could enter the previous test data.

We've updated those EPA comments to "EPA will fill in previous data" in the attached file.

Thank you,

Subject: Coke ICR QA - EPA follow-up questions

Hello Rich, et al. Hope everyone is doing OK. Thank you for your review of the ICR data for AM-Monessen-PA. We have comments and requests for corrections/additional data, and also responded to your questions&comments. These are listed in the first new worksheet (shown partially below) and in column BO of worksheet A-1.

Please provide your changes/additions in 30 days from receipt of this email. Thank you again for all your work on this ICR. Your effort is greatly appreciated.

EPA Questions for Facility
1. Please provide revised concentration data (in Column BC) and emission rate data (in Column BG) WITHOUT adjusting for non-detect runs.
2. Please provide the Pushing Time (min/hr) to use to adjust the pushing lb/hr values in column BH for the applicable pushing tests. [We tried using 12 minutes from Table 10 of test report, but that doesn't seem to match the revised values industry provided].
3. Please provide missing data highlighted in brown 
4. See EPA Review Comments of Industry QA Revisions/Comments in Column BO.

Note, EPA edits made in worksheet #A-1. Air Stack Tests" to fix transcription errors are in green font and are blue highlighted.

Facility email notes with added EPA responses/questions in green font, below.
