## Summary

*PLEASE ADD ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, INCLUDING SHORT CASE SUMMARY:	This facility was issued a 114 Information Request on December 23, 2003, which included a request to conduct a VOC emission test for their groundwood and thermomechanical pulping processes.  Stora Enso North America (SENA) did not feel that they were able to conduct accurate testing and requested a meeting with USEPA's Office of Air Quality Plannig and Standards.  After lengthy communications a meeting was finally held on May 25, 2004 with USEPA, SENA and the National Council for Air and Stream Improvment (NCASI).

First, it was determined, at the meeting, that whether SENA tested its VOCs in accordance with USEPA Reference Methods or procedures developed by NCASI, a pre-survey would be required.  A pre-survey allows the facility to characterize the organic compounds being emitted from the facility so that it knows what test procedures can be used to qunatify the total VOC emissions.  Thsu, SENA agreed to conduct a pre-survey of its emissions and to submit a protocol for the presurvey by June 25, 2004. 

Second, USEPA agreed it would hold the VOC emission test requirement in abeyance until October, 2004, to allow NCASI to develop its test procedure and SENA agreed that if NCASI developed a test procedure that was deemed acceptable by USEPA, the SENA faci
