RE: Erie Coke

Here is our resolution for your issue.

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
