Introduction

This enclosure provides an overview of the required testing, approved sampling and analysis methods, target pollutant units of measure, and reporting requirements for coke oven facilities who are required to provide emission test data under the EPA’s authority under the Clean Air Act (CAA) section 114 (42 U.S.C. 7414). See Enclosure 4 of this test request for details about this authority. The purpose for this testing is to gather data on air pollutant emissions from coke oven facilities in this source category to inform the EPA’s risk and technology review for these sources. The following is the schedule for submitting responses to Enclosure 1, data from the tests described in Enclosure 2, and submittal of other relevant information. Although only a subset of the coke facilities will be performing new testing, all the facilities of companies receiving the accompanying Section 114 information collection request letter must complete the survey Questionnaire in Enclosure 1.

1.0 Test Pollutants and Parameters, Methods, and Procedures

This section includes a summary of emission process units that require testing and the pollutants requested for each process, as well as detailed description of testing which includes among other items, required test locations, test methods, units of measure, and the minimum required number of test runs. Discussion is also included on tests that should be done concurrently, and tests done to maximize capture during pushing.

The tables in this section show the various information required to be tested. ALL data and process information requested in Tables 2 through 11 should be entered into the appropriate blank worksheets in the appropriate blank file for Enclosure 2 provided with this CAA section 114 request as well as on the Coke ICR Website (see Section 3.2 below). The blank file contains individual blank worksheets to be used to enter the test data for emission tests that are not reported using the EPA’s Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT) Version 5.

This information collection request includes test data requests for particulate matter (PM) including filterable PM (PM filterable) and PM that is 2.5 micrometers (µm) or less in diameter (PM2.5) both filterable and condensable; hazardous air pollutant (HAP) metal compounds; hydrogen chloride (HCl), hydrogen fluoride (HF), and hydrogen cyanide (HCN); hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and sulfur dioxide (SO2); carbon monoxide (CO);carbon dioxide (CO2), toluene soluble organics (TSO), speciated volatile HAP such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, and formaldehyde; semi-volatile HAP such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), including naphthalene, and also dioxin/furans; air flow rate/velocity and the related parameters of O2/CO2 and moisture; opacity and/or visible emissions; and the water soluble versions of many of the above air pollutants as well as pH and total dissolved solids (TSD) in quench tower discharge water. The testing required for coke manufacturing facilities is intended to provide information regarding the pollutants, emissions estimates, and emissions parameters listed below.

The following is a list of pollutants to be tested with their CAS Numbers (No),1 as available, and the air quality parameters of opacity and visible emissions. Appendix A lists all of the HAP and their CAS No., as designated. (Note: Not all pollutants will have CAS No., e.g., total sulfides). Appendix A also lists some common abbreviations and acronyms, and some unit conversions that may be useful.

Emission Process (EP) Units

The following is a list of the emission process (EP) units required to be tested at both by-product (BP) and heat and nonrecovery (HNR) coke oven batteries, including the control devices (CD) on these units. Testing is also required at the heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) units at coke heat recovery (HR) plants.

EP-1 BP Pushing (CD and oven)EP-2 BP Charging (oven port only)EP-3 BP Combustion (Battery) StackEP-4 BP Boiler stacks (not subject to subpart DDDDD)EP-5 Flares (inlet)EP-6 HRSG Main StacksEP-7 HRSG Bypass/waste heat stacksEP-8 HNR Charging (CD and oven)EP-9 HNR Pushing (CD and oven)EP-10 Quench Towers2

EP-11 Lids, Doors, and Offtakes

Table 1-A shows the pollutants to be tested organized by each emissions process point (EP). All tests should be performed while the emission unit and control device, where applicable, are operating under “typical” operating conditions, but not subnormal. Typical operating conditions in the context of this testing request means the usual, average or most common operating conditions for the process unit for the past year. For example, if a coke oven unit has been in operating in the extended coking mode for at least six months, is currently operating in extended coking, and there are no firm plans to convert this unit back to “normal coking” mode in the short-term (e.g., by June 2016), then “typical” operating conditions for this testing request is extended coking. Therefore, these units should test under the extended coking operating mode.

1.1 How to Select Sample Locations and Analysis Methods

The batteries selected for testing should be representative of current operation. More than one oven may need to be tested in order to obtain sufficient sample size or run time. In this case, the next oven pushed should be tested in order to continue the testing with only a short break in sampling. Testing should occur over complete push cycle, i.e., if two or more ovens need to be tested, testing should continue until the last oven has completed its pushing cycle. Most tests will need to be done near concurrently with each other; therefore, sampling sites should be located close to each other to enable the most efficient procedures in a convenient manner. All tests should be performed while the emission unit and control device, where applicable, are operating under typical operating conditions. Options to reduce the number of industry-wide tests at quench towers are in Section 1.4.

If you would like to use a method not included here, please contact the EPA for approval of an alternative test method. The request for an alternative test method should include the alternative test method or prescriptive alternative procedure, the reason for the request (e.g., lower detection limit, site specific matrix interference, increased precision, etc.), supporting empirical data (e.g. comparison with specified method, precision determination, etc.), and quality control procedures which ensure results are sufficiently accurate and

2 All quench tower tests should be done above last baffle, if at all possible, with diligent attempts to obtain isokinetic sampling where required by the methods. The percent isokinetic flow during test should be reported whether method limits on isokinetic flow are achieved or not. All tests will be accepted regardless of percent isokinetic; however, in extreme cases or where results are suspect or outliers, the data may not be included in industry averages.




precise. See the Emission Measurement Center’s Guideline Document 22 (http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/guidlnd/gd22.pdf) for more information on what information should be included in an alternative test method request. For copies of the EPA test methods and additional information, please refer to the EPA’s Emission Measurement Center website: http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/. For methods identified as SW846 methods, see: http://www3.epa.gov/epawaste/hazard/testmethods/sw846/online/. For CARB Method 429, see: http://www.arb.ca.gov/testmeth/vol3/m_429.pdf

1.2 Required Source Testing and Process Information

Table 1-B below presents details of the required test methods, minimum number of test runs required, minimum test run duration, and units of measure. See Section 1.3 (and Table 1-C) below for tests that need to be performed concurrently at specific process locations. Section 1.4 (and Table 1-D) describes the reduced requirements for testing at quench towers. Section 1.5 (Table 2) shows the process information required to be recorded during testing. Section 1.6 (Table 3) describes the tests required for materials used and generated in the coke manufacturing process. Section 1.7 (Tables 4 and 5) describes coke oven fuel gas tests and requested process, coke, and fuel gas information. Section 1.8 (Table 6) describes baghouse dust testing and analyses.

Section 1.9 (Tables 7 and 8) lists the stack and other emissions release point parameters needed for this test request. Section 1.10 discusses how to ensure data quality of the source tests performed. Note: If the EPA believes that a source owner or tester has failed to meet the requirement of the CAA to provide data of the quality or quantity sufficient for our decisions, we likely will request additional measurements which will require the use of improved testing procedures.

1.3 Concurrent/Simultaneous Testing

Some of the required test methods must be conducted concurrently or, at least, overlapping for key tests. See Table 1-C for a list and description of the tests described in Table 1-B that need to be tested concurrently. Each row in Table 1-C shows the tests that must be performed at same time; at minimum, the tests should start reasonably close to the same time (i.e., within 5 minutes of each other) to enable as much overlap as possible. Additional tests can be done together, if desired.

The primary reason for concurrent testing is to obtain a clear understanding about the overall HAP emissions profile from each emision process point. A second reason is to gather information that will help us evaluate the correlations of emissions of one pollutant to another pollutant, to potentially establish surrogate relationships. For example, the PM/HAP metals (from EPA Test Method 29) and opacity readings or measurements (Method 9 or COMS) from the control device or main battery stack are required to be done at the same time. If a predictable relationship between PM emissions, metals, and opacity exists, then a surrogate relationship may be able to be established for compliance purposes. Tests that are required to be concurrent or at least overlapping under this test request and are not done in this manner may be considered invalid and may will need to be repeated.

3 Tests are from air samples, unless otherwise noted. See Appendix B for specific facility testing requirements. 4 Individual semi-volatile HAP are listed above in Section 1.0. For purposes of this ICR, semi-volatile HAP refers to PAHs and dioxin and furans.5 For water samples from quench towers,: samples should be taken directly after quenching and before dilution with make-up water, if at all possible. Facilities may use the sampling point already used for TDS samples under the rule. If make-up water is added before the sampling point, please also estimate the % make-up water, by volume, if at all possible. This is considered the quench water effluent as it leaves the tower.6 For battery combustion stacks (EP-3) test at most two stacks on the battery, if more than one stack is present on the battery being tested for pushing; for boiler stacks (EP-4), test one representative stack boiler if there is a split stream of input coke oven gas; if not, test two boiler stacks if two or more coke oven gas streams are present.

1.4 Tests Performed at Quench Towers

Table 1-D below shows options for reducing the number of facilities required to test at quench towers from the currently requested nine facilities. All facilities may perform air emissions tests at quench towers if they so choose. However, for purposes of this test request, any two by-product facilities and any one heat recovery facility will suffice. The purpose of the reduced testing options is to permit consolidation of resources and the impacts of the testing. We understand that for the by-product facilities this consolidation of testing will require some coordination among separately-owned facilities. We have provided two examples as options here. If EPA can assist otherwise, please feel free to contact Dr. Jones at [email protected] .

Also described in Table 1-D and section 1.9 below (see Table 7), we are requesting quench water samples from all facilities performing the Coke ICR tests, regardless of whether the facility is performing air emissions tests at quench towers. Quench water samples obtained for the Coke ICR should be taken immediately after quenching and before dilution, i.e., quench water effluent as it leaves the tower. In addition, as part of the Coke ICR, we are requesting the results of recent or concurrent water tests performed to comply with 40 CFR part 63, subpart CCCCC, specifically sections 63.7333 (f) or (g) that are required to demonstrate compliance with the TDS or constituent limits for quench water. Under § 63.7333 (f) and (g), TDS tests must be performed either weekly or monthly, depending on whether the facility choses to comply with subsection (f) or (g), respectively. Facilities fulfilling the Coke ICR test request should try to coordinate their compliance tests to occur as close in time to the water tests performed to fulfill the Coke ICR as possible. The compliance samples are taken at the inlet to the quench tower (see § 63.7325 (a)(1) and (b)(1)) “as applied to the coke ( e.g., from the header that feeds water to the quench tower reservoirs)”. Whereas, samples taken for the Coke ICR should be taken from the effluent water leaving the quench tower.

1.5 Process Information During Testing

Please monitor, record and report the following process information for each test run during all testing, as appropriate. Table 2 shows the information that should be monitored and/or recorded during the testing.

7 For HRSG bypass stacks (EP-7), test at least two stacks during planned outage of HRSG for maintenance in 2016.





1.6 Information for Material Sampling and Analysis

For this test request, you must sample and analyze the coke oven feed mix for mercury and the pushing control baghouse dust or scrubber sludge for mercury as per the methods and tests in Table 3 below. For copies of the recommended EPA SW846 methods, refer to the EPA’s SW846 Online website: http://www3.epa.gov/epawaste/hazard/testmethods/sw846/index.htm

mg/dsm3

lb/hr

8 See Section 1.0 above for individual pollutants within each group of pollutants in this table.9 Unless indicated otherwise, tests for pushing and charging operations are performed at both the oven door (“oven”), in the case of pushing, or lid to oven (“port”) in the case of charging, and the control device (CD) stack, as applicable. 10 See Table 1-C for simultaneous test requirements. See Section 1.3 for discussion of the concurrent tests. Most of the methods in this table can be found in in 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A unless otherwise indicated. See https://www3.epa.gov/ttn/emc/promgate.html . See Appendix B for specific facility testing requirements.11 Alternatively, the heat content (in Btu’s) of inlet flare gas can be measured instead of testing.12 All quench tower testing for EP (10) should begin as soon as the quench water is sprayed onto the coke car and continue for a pre-set period of time that is determined prior to testing so that all tests are same length, and that corresponds to any one of the following: 15 minutes after the quench water is turned off; all fumes and steam have stopped being released from the coke, or car leaves tower. At minimum, the tests should include the full duration of one complete quench.13 For quench towers, air samples should be taken above the highest baffle, if possible, or another location with minimal upstream disturbances. Water samples should be taken from the effluent directly after quenching. Unless otherwise noted, tests are for both air and water. See Section 1.4 for a discussion of quench tower testing options and more details about quench tower testing for air and water.14 The EPA is requesting three (3) “successful” test runs, where successful is defined to be a test that meets all of the requirements of a valid test as per the EPA method or approved alternative method. If an emission standard needs to be set with a total of six (6) runs or less, e.g., where standard is based on data from only two facilities testing three runs each, the resulting standard will need to be developed according to the small data set protocol, as described in technical memoranda previously provided.

While in most cases we are not specifying numerical minimum detection levels for the tests to be performed, we have specified the testing conditions and methods required, including test run sample volumes or times when appropriate, which we believe will provide data of a quality sufficient for decision making.

We remind source owners and testers of the CAA section 114(a)(1) requirement to provide information requested for the development of emissions standards using methods that provide data necessary for the decisions. That includes data of quality sufficient to support those decisions. For the most part, we can identify test methods and procedures that will satisfy those decision making needs (e.g., minimum sampling times). In other cases, we recognize that the source owner's or tester's selection of test procedures or equipment could bear significantly on the quality of the data.

We believe that the CAA is clear in that it is the responsibility of the source and the tester to apply methods and procedures that result in data quality necessary for our decisions, including providing for the lowest possible detection limits considering practical and reasonable limitations. For example, source owners and testers should not automatically choose to use low or medium quality equipment for testing (e.g., for cost reasons) if high quality equipment is reasonably available. We will review test reports in light of this expectation and will be particularly mindful of whether the testing procedures applied are representative of the highest reasonably expected capabilities (e.g., comparing reported minimum measurement detection levels between tests and testers). On completion of your required tests, please provide a complete test report, including appendices. A complete test report includes the following information, at a minimum:




General identification information for the facility including a mailing address, the actual address, the owner or operator or responsible official (where they are applicable) or an appropriate representative and an email address for this person, and the appropriate Federal Registry System (FRS) number for the facility;

A brief process description, including a flow diagram clearly showing the sampling site; A complete unit description, including control devices, the appropriate source classification code (SCC),

the latitude and longitude of the emision process point being tested (to five decimal places), and the maximum permitted process rate (where applicable);

Sampling site description; description of sampling and analysis procedures and any modifications to standard procedures; quality assurance procedures;

Description of any deviations from the test methods or other anomalies that occurred with the process or control device operations during the test; Run-by-run emission data; Stack or exhaust gas flow rate (as determined using EPA Method 2, 2F, 2G, or 5D) at the time of and during the emissions test, as appropriate;

Any process data and control device monitoring data required in this attachment; Sample calculations of all applicable stack gas parameters, emission rates and analytical results, as

applicable; Raw field data sheets and notes; Laboratory data and analysis reports; Chain-of-custody documentation; Explanation of laboratory data qualifiers; Quality assurance and quality control activities performed; Identification information for the company conducting the performance test including a contact person

and his/her email address; and Any other information required by the test method.

If we believe that a source owner or tester has failed to meet the requirement of the CAA to provide data of sufficient quality or quantity for our decisions, we will request additional measurements that require the use of improved testing procedures.

2.0 How to Report Data

The method for reporting the results of any testing and monitoring requests depend on the type of tests and methods used to complete the test requirements. This section discusses the requirements for reporting the data. Reporting data using the EPA’s Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT) Version 5 is discussed in Section 2.1. Reporting data for test methods not supported by the EPA’s ERT is discussed in Section 2.2.

2.1 Reporting Stack Test Data within ERT

If you conducted a stack test using one of the methods listed in Table 9, shown below, you must report your data using the EPA’s ERT Version 5. The ERT is a Microsoft® Access database application. Two versions of the ERT application are available. If you are not a registered owner of Microsoft® Access, you can install the runtime version of the ERT Application. The ERT must be downloaded onto your computer prior to data entry. Both versions of the ERT are available at http://www3.epa.gov/ttnchie1/ert/. The ERT supports an Excel spreadsheet application (which is included in the files downloaded with the ERT) to document the collection of the field sampling data. After completing data entry in the ERT, you will also need to attach an electronic copy of the emission test report (PDF format preferred) to the Attachments module of the ERT. Both the ERT spreadsheet and the emission test report should be transmitted to the EPA using one of the options described


http://www3.epa.gov/ttnchie1/ert/



below in Section 3. Enclosure 8 to this ICR package provides an EPA ERT Version 5 example test plan and lists each field within the ERT and notes whether or not the field is required or optional. Note: The required reporting includes the latitude and longitude of each stack or emision process point tested (in decimal degrees to five (5) decimal places, which are the digits to the right of the decimal point).

2.2 Reporting Other Test Data Not Listed in ERT and All Material Sampling, Gas Analysis, and Water Analysis Data

You must report your test results for the following methods in a copy of the spreadsheets provided to you in your ICR package since these are NOT supported by ERT:

ASTM D5954-98 (2006)EPA Method 2F, 2GEPA Method 3BEPA Method 5DEPA Method 6 EPA Method 9 EPA Method 15 EPA Method 16 EPA Method 18EPA Method 303, 303A

You must report the results of each test on the appropriately labeled worksheet that you develop using the spreadsheet that corresponds to the specific tests requested at your facility. If more than one source at your facility was tested using methods not currently supported by the ERT, you must save an electronic copy of each worksheet to report each test performed, making sure to update the source ID in order to distinguish between each separate source/test. After completing the worksheet, you must also submit an electronic copy of the emission test report (PDF format preferred). Both the Coke Oven CD with completed worksheets and the emission test report should be transmitted to the EPA using one of the options described below in Section 3.

Data for the stack and release point parameters for each test performed were described above in Section 1.9 (Tables 7 and 8). Some of these data are also requested in Enclosure 1 for all facilities, as typical stack values, in order to model facilities who are NOT doing stack testing. However, we need specific run by run stack data for all testing done. To ensure that the relevant stack data accompanies the test data, please copy any relevant stack data you may have entered in the worksheets for Enclosure 1 into the worksheets for specific test data required in Enclosure 2. Both worksheets have the stack data in the same order so it should be a simple copy/paste exercise. However, if the “typical” stack data you entered into the stack worksheet for Enclosure 1 (as we requested) and these values are different than what occurred during the tests, you may enter different stack information in worksheet for Enclosure 2.

Please make sure you provide the basic diagrams indicating which sources are ducted together to common controls, as requested in Enclosure 1. If your diagram or any other information is considered CBI, please submit it separately following the procedures described in Section 3.2, below. In addition to any CBI diagrams, if submitted, please also submit a simpler diagram that is not CBI, if at all possible .

2.3 Guidance for Calculating and Reporting Measurements Less Than In-Stack Method Detection Levels for Emissions Data Submitted in Response to Information Collection Request (ICR) Programs

Please identify the status of measured values relative to detection levels on the spreadsheet or in the ERT using the descriptions below. For each reported emissions value, insert the appropriate flag (BDL, DLL, or ADL) in the “Note” line of the Excel emission test spreadsheet template or in the “Flag” column of the Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT).

BDL (below detection level) – all analytical values used to calculate and report an in-stack emissions value are less than the laboratory’s reported detection level(s);

DLL (detection level limited) – at least one but not all values used to calculate and report an in-stack emissions value are less than the laboratory’s reported detection level(s); or

ADL (above detection level) – all analytical values used to calculate and report an in-stack emissions value are greater than the laboratory’s reported detection level(s).

When reporting and calculating individual test run data:

You must use the method specified approach for calculation and determination of the analytical detection limit for values that are below this limit (BDL). If the method does not specify the approach and calculation of BDL, determine the BDL as follows:

For air sampling and analysis methods, you must determine BDL in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 15 of Method 301.

For water sampling and analysis, you must determine BDL in accordance with the procedures specified in Appendix B of 40 CFR part 136.

For analytical data reported from the laboratory as above BDL, include as ADL.

For analytical data reported from the lab as “nondetect” or “below detection level” Include a brief description of the procedures used to determine the analytical detection and in-stack

detection level:o In the Note line of the emission test spreadsheet template provided by EPA; or o In the Comments line of Lab Data tab in the Run Data Details in the ERT.

Describe these procedures completely in a separate attachment or report section, and include the measurements made, the standards used, and the statistical procedures applied.

Calculate in-stack emissions rate for any analytical measurement below detection level using the relevant BDL, sampling volumes and other relevant run specific parameters (such as oxygen or flowrate). The reported value must assume that the analyte is present at the full BDL value.

Report the calculated emissions concentration or rate result:o As a bracketed “less than” detection level value (e.g., [<0.0105]) in the Excel emission test

spreadsheet template and include the appropriate flag in the Note line; oro As a numerical value in the ERT with the appropriate flag in the Flag column.

Report as numerical values (i.e., no brackets or < symbol) any analytical data measured above the BDL, including any data between the BDL and a laboratory-specific reporting or quantification level (i.e., flag as ADL).

Apply these reporting and calculation procedures to measurements made with Method 23:




Report data in the ERT for each of the D/F congeners measured with Method 23 below the detection level as [< detection level];

Do not report emissions as zero even though this is stated in the method.

For pollutant measurements composed of multiple components or fractions (e.g., metals sampling train), when the result for the value for any component is measured below the BDL; Calculate in-stack emissions rate or concentrations as outlined above for each component or fraction; Sum the measured and/or calculated values (using the BDL as outlined above) for all of the

components or fractions, and Report the sum of all components or fractions:

o As a bracketed “less than” detection level value (e.g., [<0.0105]) in the Excel emission test spreadsheet template and include the appropriate flag in the Note line; or

o As a numerical value in the ERT with the appropriate flag in the Comments lineo If all components or fractions are BDL, the appropriate flag is BDL. If any component or

fraction is ADL, the appropriate flag is DLL.

In addition to reporting the sum of the components or fractions, report the individual component or fraction values for each run if the Excel emission test spreadsheet template or ERT format allows. If the Excel emission test spreadsheet template or ERT format does not allow reporting of the individual components or fractions (i.e., the format allows reporting only a single sum value):

o For the Excel emission test spreadsheet template, next to the sum reported as above report in the Notes line the appropriate flag along with the values for the measured or detection level value for each component or fraction as used in the calculations (e.g., 0.036, [<0.069], 1.239, [<0.945] for a four fraction sample)

o For the ERT, next to the sum reported as above, report in the Flag column the appropriate general flag and in the Comments column the measured or BDL value for each component or fraction as used in the calculations (e.g., 0.036, [<0.069], 1.239, [<0.945] for a four fraction sample).

For measurements conducted using instrumental test methods (e.g., Methods 3A, 6C, 10): Record gaseous concentration values as measured including negative values and flag as ADL; do not

report as BDL Calculate and report in-stack emissions rates using these measured values Include relevant information relative to calibration gas values or other technical qualifiers for

measured values in Comments line in the ERT.

When reporting and calculating average emissions rate or concentration for a test when some results are reported as BDL: Sum all of the test run values including those indicated as BDL or DLL as numerical values Calculate the average emissions rate or concentration (e.g., divide the sum by 3 for a three-run test

series) Report the average emissions rate or concentration average:

o As a bracketed “less than” detection level value (e.g., [<20.06]) in the Excel emission test spreadsheet template and include the appropriate flag in the Note line

o As a numerical value in the ERT and include the appropriate flag in the Comments line.




o If all test run values are BDL, the appropriate flag is BDL. If any test run value is ADL or DLL, the appropriate flag is DLL.
