accompanied by a Directors Order which sets specific emission limits in cokemaking: – Certified observers (per EPA Method 9 and Method 303) – 5 days per week, 10 Saturdays and 10 Sundays each year – Must observe daily per battery: 4 pushes, 5 charges, all lids, all doors, all standpipes – Must make operational adjustments if over the daily limits and notify MOE

Preventative Measures include: – Adjusting carbon scraper bar – Decarbonizing standpipes, goosenecks and charge holes – Cleaning goosenecks, sleeves to the collector main, and steam jets – Replacing drop sleeve donuts, bellow bags, and carbon seals – Adjusting coal feed systems to optimize coal charging volume – Leveling charge hole bases to ensure proper elevation and tight seal
10
Preventative Measures include: – Applying lid sealant immediately after charging an oven and whenever emissions are observed – Replacing damaged or cracked lids – Repairing, leveling and grouting charge hole bases to ensure proper seal
11
Preventative Measures include: – Replacing the soft seal and adjusting the cap – Cleaning the gooseneck, sleeve to collector main, and steam jet – Re-packing collar or base of the pipe with refractory – Applying masonry seal to small cracks until welding can be completed – Replacing the standpipe at the end of its lifecycle

Emission Control (BEC) systems followed by on site monitoring
– Three sources to be controlled by 2017 year end – #8 Tar tank controlled in April – 9b Tar decanter control scheduled in June – North Raw Liquor Tank to be controlled by year end – Three sources to be controlled by 2020 year end.

ship and were removed immediately along with any other visible contaminants
being sealed by installing large steel plates which will contain any unknown contaminants inside the ship.

Continuation of road paving activities for dust control Currently planning to pave two areas with 6” asphalt in 2017
Plan to continue progressive paving plan in future years
23
10 sources at the facility. Three source controls installed.
– Cooling tower fan motors – Gas cleaning plant fan motors – BOSP excess steam

– Administrative amendment to the steelmaking effluent treatment system ECA resulted in the MOECC requesting a new site wide ECA for all effluent discharges in order to update the Ministry’s records. – Algoma will be submitting a priority request for amendment to the landfill ECA to allow for the disposal of larger quantities of dredged river sediment than currently permitted, which will allow for the boat slip dredging to occur.

initiatives
reduction projects will be completed in 2017 and will result in real reductions.
