RE: EPA Response to SunCoke

Robert:

As a preliminary response to your August 17, 2016 letter, we now understand that the plant doesn't operate longer than 1 shift per day for pushing coke from the ovens and, therefore, agree to modify our 114 request to incorporate the attached procedure for handling and storing the Method 23 XAD train from one operating shift to the next shift the following day.

However, there are still many other concerns we have with your compliance with our 114 request and will discuss these issues at our upcoming meeting on September 19th that you requested.  We recommend that this meeting on September 19th be done via phone call where we can follow along on a power point that you send us beforehand since several of the folks on our side are located in North Carolina and not in DC.  However, if you strongly prefer videoconference I am happy to chat about that and am fairly free tomorrow to talk.   

I am copying Donna Lee Jones from our program office on this email, as well as Emily Seidman from the Office of General Counsel.  Both will be in attendance on September 19[th].   

Thanks.
Seema
