Re: Incinerators No. 1, 2, & 3 Performance Test
Dear Mr. Von Bodungen:
In accordance with the Louisiana Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants regulation Section 76.18 enclosed is the final report for the performance test of the VCM continuous monitoring system on Incin erators No. 1, 2, & 3, gathered on December 10, 1983 through December 14, 1983. Incinerator No. 4, which is temporarily out-of-service, was not tested due to problems with the in-stack analyzer. Per the verbal approval granted by your office. No. 4 Incinerator will be tested during the next period in which the Incinerator is operational.
Itemized below is a table of contents for the enclosed report on the performance test. If you should have any questions concerning this report, please-call me at 318/491-4576.
Respectfully
