Testing will be performed as required by permit condition 2.1.A(5)to demonstrate compliance with 40 CFR 63 Subpart DDDDD National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Major Sources: Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters and for emissions inventory. 15A NCAC 02D .1109 CAA§ 1120) Case-by-Case MACT for Boilers&Process Heaters emission limits as defined in permit condition 2.1.A(4)apply through May 19,2019. The emissions sources are to be tested are: • Boiler(ID No.H-101)is a No.2 fuel oil-fired boiler(20.3 million Btu per hour maximum heat input rate,and • Boiler(ID No.H-102)is a No.2 fuel oil-fired boiler(20.3 million Btu per hour maximum heat input rate. Testing will be performed firing ultra low sulfur No.2 fuel oil in accordance with permit condition 2.1.A(5)(g). Provided the subject test results meet the emissions limits the facility intends follow the requirements of 40 CFR 63.7515(h)to-demonstrate ongoing emissions compliance and avoid further performance tests. 40 CFR 63.7515(h)requires the facility to record the type of fuel combusted on a monthly basis for ongoing compliance. The proposed test process rate for boilers H-101 and H-102 of approximately 18 MMBtu/ r each. The following table addresses the parameters/pollutants,test methods,run time,and minimum sample collection volumes with applicable regulations and limitations for each boiler. Note a minimum of 3-test runs per boiler are to be performed.

McHale Environmental has submitted an audit sample order request. The sample must be present for inspection on request during the test period. For additional information please see EPA web page https://www.et)a.gov/emc/emc-technical-support. No deviations from the applicable testing methodology were requested in the test protocol. Testing should be conducted in strict accordance with the requirements of EPA Methods 1,2, 3A,4, 5, 10,26,and 30B. The proposed test methods are acceptable for the specified pollutants. Approval of the protocol does not exempt the tester from the minimum requirements of the applicable methods. The final test report should include information to establish that the testing performed was near maximum normal or approximately>90%of maximum normal. The applicable test period monitoring parameters should also be included. If there are questions concerning this matter,please contact me at(919)707-8415 or gregg.onealAncdenr.gov.
