The email response and her original email are as follows: Ryk, Jon <[email protected]> Apr 9, 2024, 8:20?AM to Jennifer Jennifer, Thank you for the additional information. As far as the stack testing goes. It may be a matter of getting a permit modification to get it removed also from the respective construction permit.

I also have a question on the need for stack testing. Flare Stack Testing Stack test results 2016. 2016 Emission Test Report 6853 reviewnotes FR The notation I mentioned regarding the next stack test to be completed by January 20, 2026 was in the Review Notes I received on 10-26-23 (attached) from Zane Peters; I highlighted the line on page 4. However, in the email chain below from October 2021, please note that DNR staff stated that stack testing is NOT required and could be removed from the Title V permit. It is NOT in our new permit, which was issued after Mr. Peter’s review notes indicating we would need stack testing. Can you help me confirm if we should or should not stack test by January 2026? 15-minute increment data for flare temps Screenshot from cloud data for 15 minute temps 4-5-24 Thermocouple Records 2024 This data is available on our cloud-based SCADA software through SCS and was originally developed by Barker Lemar. I have attached a screenshot of what I can see and a spreadsheet with from Mark Mayhew, the Senior Project Professional we work with for air quality topics at SCS Engineers. Mark let me know that we have temperature data from six points (inlet, a flow temp, three thermalcouples and one “selected thermocouple”) every two minutes, which is A LOT of data, so I asked Mark to pull some random times from a random day, March 21 of this year. We are happy to provide more data as needed. 12-A-544 Rescission Please note in the Review Notes on page 3 (highlighted) that EP 1.1 and EP 1.2 were removed from the permit—those were for the old grinder. Our Senior Engineer, Joe Welter, reached out to Kelli Book at DNR and she looked into this. Both of the construction permits were rescinded. I will forward that email chain separately. Startup, Shutdown and Malfunction Plan I’m still working on this one and will update you early next week. If I’ve missed anything from our discussion, please let me know. I will forward the email from Kelli Book separately. Thank you and have a nice weekend! Jen JON RYK
