Ms. Harden, et al.: We have reviewed your recent explanation of the problems with monitor #1 siting and decided you can keep your downwind #1 monitor position as originally planned. We thank you for providing the detailed explanation.
 
Thank you again for your efforts on the Coke RTR 114 request.

Thanks for the follow-up. We, at EPA, will need to meet to discuss and get back to you either by mail or with a meeting to discuss with you and your colleagues. Since a revised QAPP was only needed to address this one issue, you can consider only that part of the QAPP on hold and proceed with the other items in your test planning while we discuss this one issue. 
 
Let me know by email if you have any questions on this plan of action.

Subject: RE: Coke Oven Section 114 ICR Enclosure 2 - Fugitive Monitoring Plan, Test Plan and QAPP
 
Dr Jones, I worked with our contractor and attached is a document to highlight further the concerns about moving the downwind 1 sampler to the 5 location. If you would like to further discuss these issues, we can meet with you and your team virtually on Tuesday and still be able to respond by the deadline. I hope you see that we were quite careful with or selections to address as many guidelines as possible and provide unusable and technically sound data. Have a great holiday weekend. I look forward to checking in with you on Tuesday.
 
Regards,
Brenna Harden

Subject: Coke Oven Section 114 ICR Enclosure 2 - Fugitive Monitoring Plan, Test Plan and QAPP
 
On June 29, 2022, DTE Vantage (DTE) received Section 114 of the Clean Air Act Information Collection Request (ICR) in relation to development of Risk and Technology Review of Coke Oven Facilities related to 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart CCCCC, Pushing Quenching and Battery Stacks. The ICR also included risk and technology review, testing, interior and fenceline monitoring, and other information collection activities related to potential new regulations for coke byproduct recovery plants (CBRP) in relation to 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart L, Coke Oven Batteries. DTE owns and operates EES Coke Battery, L.L.C. (EES Coke) located in River Rouge, MI.
 
In order to accommodate all Enclosure 2 Source Testing, there are four enclosures. EES Coke was required to complete Testing on Fugitive and Flares. The enclosures meet the Fugitive Monitoring Plan, Test Plan and QAPP task. Although the June 28, 2022 ICR noted this task was due within 45 days of the submission (August 13, 2022), the COETF requested an extension during the August 9 virtual meeting. EPA provided an email on August 11, 2022 granting the extension to August 16, 2022. 
 
Due to size of this submittal, can you let me know that you received it? I may break up the submittal into several emails if it gets trapped due to size. A hard copy will also be submitted certified mail  -  return receipt requested as backup.
