g. Is there any upcoming testing required?
Yes,there is required quarterly testing required for the three carbon adsorbers. The facility intends to
delay the testing,because the testing company will not send personnel out to the facility during the
COVID-19 outbreak. The company is in process of preparing a force majeure extension request for
this testing for submittal to DAQ.
h. Are there any operating issues at this time,or do they foresee any operating issues that will affect their
ability to meet the air quality requirements?
The only issue at present is the testing of the carbon adsorbers. This is being addressed via the force
majeure extension request mentioned in section 4.d above. No other issues are anticipated at this time.

subject to a consent order due to violations of water quality rules. Installation of the thermal oxidizer at the facility
was one of the requirements of that consent order.

requirements outlined in their current air permit,03735T43.
