RE: ICR Explanation of Potential Testing Problems-ArcelorMittal Monessen LLC.

Here are our answers with one question for you all. We will respond to the quench tower question once we receive your response to our question below.

Method 201A vs Method 5 on Pushing Emission Control System (PECS); uses a stationary baghouse
 Sample using Method201A throughout the entire pushing time period and do not turn off sampling when moving from door to door until the full volume required by the method (2 dscm) is collected. This also will reduce the number of ovens pushed during testing.
 We understand that this testing may result in data that is significantly different from data collected at facilities with PCMs or sheds, i.e., data collected during sampling that is started and stopped for the pushes. Because there are at least three facilities with PECS, we will be examine the data collected and if significantly different can create a subcategory for regulatory purposes.

Sampling Three Methods (315, 0010, 23) Simultaneously When Only Two Ports is Problematic (and Method 201A ports need six inches diameter openings)
 Methods 0010 and 23 can be combined, therefore only two methods need to be done simultaneously.
 Additional ports can be located at different levels, i.e., heights, relative to the current ports so that the same platforms can be used to sample simultaneously. 
 The sample port for Method 201A for PM2.5 is only 4 inches wide; PM10 uses a 6-inch port but is not required by the Coke ICR.
 Installing additional ports is sometimes necessary to accommodate testing. See the General Provisions to 40 CFR part 63, section 63.7.

Request To Sample Single Points For Quench Tower
 What is the vertical distance between baffles? If baffle positions vary over the length of the quench tower, provide a table listing all levels of baffles with their height from ground.

Coal Sampling Request To Take Composite Sample During Day Rather Than One During Each Run
 Approved.
