Re: Fw: Two things

My understanding based on our conversation and emails is as follows:

On Nov 8, 2010  any affected source must comply with :

1.		 D/F revisions which included startup and shutdown limit
2.		 Monthly monitoring is increased to 10 minutes on MHOs
3.		 Affirmative defense for exceedance of emission limit during
malfunction
4.		 Clinker Storage Pile Requirements

All other standards become effective in 2013

The monitoring question I had was that the rule using the following
language for each monitor

" Compliance with the XXX emissions standard must be determined based on
the first 30 operating days you operate a XXX CEMS."

This language suggest that if a source installs a CEM before 2013 it must
comply after 30 operating days.

 While we have discussed this and my understanding is that a source that
installs a PM CEM for example in 2011 will not have to comply until the
emission rate standard becomes effective in 2013.

This needs to also be cleared up because the rule is confusing.

Dear Andy:

I will get back to you with a definitive answer hopefully today.

On that note - I know the open clinker piles are the main issue - but I
also received calls on the changes to testing and monitoring procedures
- notably the opacity monitoring.  Though this is not a big deal it does
require that current procedures be changes to comply.  Can you point me
to specific changes (i.e. the paragraphs) where we might want to at
least consider moving the compliance date?

I am cc'ing Hector on this because he called me at one time on the
testing procedures issue.

Peter,

Checking in on the compliance deadline matter addressed in the attached
letter, which we discussed last week, and wondering when you will be in
DC next and whether we could sit down again for some discussion.

Thanks,
Andy
