RE: Question on Coke ICR submittal

Mr. Pearson  -  You can leave the TO-13A blanks out of the spreadsheet as long as you include the complete lab report.

Hi Dr. Jones,

I have another question on the ICR submission packet. 

Because there is no air sampling for the TO13A  blanks, there is no way to report a concentration in ug/m3. The results from the lab are reported as total mass. 

Are we required to include TO13A blanks in this format? If so, how should these be reported/annotated?

Dan

Hello. I've obtained the answers to your questions from our measurement experts at EPA. See below. Let me know if you have any more questions.  
- Column K (Sampling period concentration) This should the as measured value, subject to use of the MDL for BDL values.
- Column M (Lab Reported Concentration for BDL sample) This may be left blank as long as the MDL is used for reporting BDL values, this column is an inadvertent redundant inclusion
From the example data in Row 3, it looks like we can have two different concentrations?  Concentration should not be different, this example was due to a slightly different reporting regimen for the refinery fenceline rule
Do you only need data in Column M for BDL samples? Yes, subject to above response

Subject: Question on Coke ICR submittal
 
Good morning, Dr. Jones.
CleanAir is performing fenceline testing for a few clients as part of the Coke ICR, and I have a question on the data submittal. This is the reporting template for the fenceline ICR data. Will you please clarify exactly what needs to be provided in these columns?
- Column K (Sampling period concentration) 
- Column M (Lab Reported Concentration for BDL sample)
From the example data in Row 3, it looks like we can have two different concentrations? Do you only need data in Column M for BDL samples?
 
Dan
