In accordance with your completed application received February 14, 2018, we are
forwarding herewith Permit No. 08934R06 to Triumph Insulation Systems, LLC,Taylorsville,
Alexander County,North Carolina for the construction and operation of air emissions sources or air
cleaning devices and appurtenances. Additionally, any emissions activities determined from your air
permit application as meeting the exemption requirements contained in 15A NCAC 2Q .0102 have
been listed for information purposes as an "ATTACHMENT" to the enclosed air permit. Please note
the records retention requirements are contained in General Condition 2 of the General Conditions
and Limitations.
If any parts,requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable to you,
you have the right to request a formal adjudicatory hearing within 30 days following receipt of this
permit, identifying the specific issues to be contested. Such a request will stay the effectiveness of
the entire permit. This hearing request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to G.S.

Unless exempted by a condition of this permit or the regulations, construction of new
air pollution sources or air cleaning devices, or modifications to the sources or air cleaning
devices described in this permit must be covered under a permit issued by the Division of Air
Quality prior to construction. Failure to do so is a violation of G.S. 143-215.108 and may
subject the Permittee to civil or criminal penalties as described in G.S. 143-215.114A and 143-
215.114B.
This permit shall be effective from April 2, 2018 until March 31,2026, is nontransferable to
future owners and operators,and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified
therein.
Changes have been made to the permit stipulations. The Permittee is responsible for
carefully reading the entire permit and evaluating the requirements of each permit
stipulation.The Permittee shall comply with all terms, conditions,requirements, limitations
and restrictions set forth in this permit. Noncompliance with any permit condition is grounds
for enforcement action, for permit termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification, or
for denial of a permit renewal application. Specific changes and additions are summarized
below (note: this list may not include all changes and additions):
a. The condition for 2D .0958 has been removed from the permit. The rule has been updated to no
longer apply state-wide. Also,Alexander County is not located in the non-attainment area.
Therefore,the facility is no longer subject to the rule.
b. The condition for case-by-case MACT has been removed from the permit. The facility is no longer
considered a major source of HAP. Also,the"once-in-always-in"provision has been overturned
by EPA. Therefore,the facility is no longer subject to the rule.
C. The toxic pollutants of ammonia, ethyl acetate, MEK, and toluene were removed from the condition
for 2D .1100 because they never exceeded the TPER limits. These pollutants are being added to
the condition for 2Q .0711.
d. A condition for synthetic minor has been added to the permit. The facility will be required to perform
inspection and maintenance on the thermal oxidizer to show compliance and to maintain emissions
to less than 10/25 tons per year of HAP.
e. A condition has been added to the permit that requires the facility to submit a compliance
certification for the time period they were still classified as Title V for calendar year 2018.
Should you have any questions concerning this matter,please contact Denise Hayes at 704-663-
1699.
