 1. For the control devices identified in section above, specify which (if any) control devices are used during startup, shutdown, or malfunction events.
      
 2.    For each control device, provide the following information:
      a. Is the control device operation at all times, including during startup, shutdown, and malfunction events? (Yes/No) If no, describe when the control device is activated (or deactivated) during startup (shutdown).
         
      b. Is there any expected change in control device efficiency during startup, shutdown, and malfunction events? (Yes/No) If yes, explain the expected change in efficiency.
         
      c. Is the vent gas flow rate to the control device typically higher, lower, or unchanged during startup, shutdown, and malfunction events?
         
   
E.	Malfunctions
 3. Identify each malfunction event during the last 2 years (2014&2015) where emissions from equipment regulated by 40 CFR 63 Subparts CCCCC or L exceeded normal emissions, normal controls were bypassed, or the effectiveness of the normal control was reduced where normal is defined by the limits promulgated in 40 CFR 63 Subparts CCCCC and L and provide the following: (in lieu of entering your data in the provided spreadsheet, you may reference official reports submitted to local agencies or EPA)
         a.          Date of event.
         b.          Duration of the event (hours).
         c.          Description of the event.
         d.          Identify the surveyed process or emission units (from section above) associated with each malfunction (select all that apply).
         e.          Identify the other process or emission units (from section above) associated with each malfunction (select all that apply).
         f.          Identify additional coke manufacturing or non-coke manufacturing related process emission units (if applicable) that were associated with each malfunction that were not covered and identified in sections above.
         g.          For each HAP released during the event, provide the following:
                 i.             HAP name and CAS number (See Appendix B).
                 ii.             Amount of HAP released during the event (pounds).
                 iii.             Description of method used to estimate the amount of HAP that was released during the event.
               
X.	Management Practices
A.	Operator Training 
 4. For each battery that you operate, is operator training required by a local or state agency as a condition of plant operation? 
      
 5.    If yes, please name the battery/type training/frequency and agency(s).
 6. List any company training (battery/type training/frequency)
      
 7. For each battery that you operate please estimate how many hours of formal training are conducted in each of the following areas? Prior to Starting Work, During First Year of Employment, After First Year of Employment.
      
 8. Who conducts the operator training? In-house personnel, Private contractor. State or local agency, other (specify
      

B.	Best Management Procedures
 9. Does the facility make written Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) available to all operators? (Yes/No)
      
 10. Does the facility keep Operations and Maintenance manuals from the equipment manufacturer near operator locations? (Yes/No)
      
 11. Does the facility employ additional practices that ensure operation of the battery is consistent from one shift to another? 
      
 12. If yes, please explain.
