CLARIFICATION RE: [External]-RE: U. S. Steel - Coke Ovens Section 114   -  missing TO-15A data
Brett -- One more thing, just to be clear. Make sure the testers know that THC is part of the tests. We asked for both standard TCEQ Appendix P and TCEQ Appendix P with the TO-15A finish. The standard TCEQ Appendix P has a THC analyzer as a finish.

Good afternoon Dr. Jones,
 
The stack testing company informed us today that there was a misunderstanding between them and the lab regarding the analysis.  There was some confusion between EPA Method 15, Method TO-15A, and Method TO-15, which resulted in only the Method 15 analysis being run by the lab.  The stack testing company apologized to us for the misunderstanding and will re-test the cooling tower for the TO-15 analytes the week of December 26th.  The lab will also expedite the analysis, and we will share the results with you as soon as we receive them.
 
We sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding,
 
Brett Tunno, DrPH, CPH

Hi. Thanks again for your submission and the diligent efforts to help us with the attachment. 
 
In regard to the USS Clairton submission for cooling tower inlet, we believe there are some missed analytes.
 
The spreadsheet/pdf has: BTEX, H2S, COS, and CS2 results. However, we don't see any TO-15A analytes, which are part of the Enc 2 request.
 
Can you help with this or explain? 
 
Regards,

Subject: U. S. Steel - Coke Ovens Section 114 Request  -  Enclosure 2 Testing Notification - United States Steel Corporation  -  Clairton Plant
 
Dear Mr. Fischman,
 
On June 29, 2022, United States Steel Corporation (U. S. Steel)  -  Clairton Plant received a Clean Air Act Section 114 Information Collection Request (ICR) from EPA for information pertaining to the ongoing Pushing, Quenching, and Battery Stacks (PQBS) 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart CCCCC Risk and Technology Review (RTR) and the technology review for Coke Batteries under 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart L.
 
EPA requested that U. S. Steel submit a notification to the state 21 days before performing any stack tests.  Therefore, U. S. Steel is submitting this testing notification to Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD), which has been delegated regulatory authority by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) for sources in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
 
U. S. Steel will conduct testing of the By-Products (or "Keystone") Cooling Tower inlet water the week of October 24, 2022, for TO-15-A analytes, H2S, COS, and CS2.  
 
Please contact myself or Mike Dzurinko at mdzurinko@uss.com <mailto:mdzurinko@uss.com>  or 412-233-1467 if you have any questions with U. S. Steel's testing notification.
 
Thank you,
