Protocol for Nitrogen Oxide Emissions Testing of ES-9 and ES-9a Overcladding Units
Proposed Test Date: February 6,2018
Tracking No. 2018-012st
Dear Mr.Miller:
The North Carolina Division of Air Quality(DAQ)has reviewed the protocol submittal form(PSF)for
the nitrogen oxide(NOx)testing of the ES-9 and ES-9a overcladding units. The proposed methods are
acceptable for the required NOx testing as discussed below.
Emissions Sources ES-9 and ES-9a each consist of overcladding units (ES-9: Cell 4 and four Cell 5 units
and ES-9a: Cells 6, 7,and remaining Cell 5 units)venting to a hydrated lime injection dry scrubber fabric
filter system(1DS and 2DS,respectively)which vent to a selective catalytic reduction system(I SCR and
2SCR,respectively).
15A NCAC 2Q .0317 Avoidance Conditions for 15A NCAC 2D .0530 Prevention of Significant
Deterioration applies. Permit Conditions 2.23 and C specify the NOx limits and test requirements for
Cells 4, 5, 6, and 7 units. Permit Conditions 2.2.B.Ld and 2.2.C.Lc require testing of"Uncontrolled NOx
emissions from individual small and large torch Over-cladding Units(Cells 4;ID No.ES-9)"and
"individual new technology torch Over-cladding Units(Cells 5,6,and 7,ES-9a)"to determine the"pounds
of NOx per unit-hour to be used in demonstrating compliance with the PSD avoidance condition."
McHale Environmental proposed EPA Method 7E. The PSF states"Note: only 2 units are operating and
only 2 will be operating in 2018." The PSF proposed EPA Methods 1 through 4 and 205 ("if needed'),
including assigning a dry molecular weight of 29.0.
The proposed methods are acceptable. Approval of this sampling protocol does not exempt the tester
from the minimum requirements of the sampling methods. Any deviations remain subject to approval by
DAQ. If you have any questions or comments,please contact me at 919-707-8416 or

Sincerely,
Shannon Vogel,Environmental Engineer
