ABRACZINSKAS ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY Director May 1,2018 Brian Mellor,NESHAP Program Manager Power Secure 4068 Stirrup Creek Dr. Durham,NC 27703 Subject: Food Lion—Washington Washington,Beaufort County,North Carolina Facility ID 07/00152,Permit Exempt Carbon Monoxide(CO)Emissions Testing of Diesel Peak Shaving Engines ES-1 [1345 US 264 East-Store#144]—CAT Model 3406,519hp/400kW—S/N KPS01092 ES-2 [851 Washington St.-Store#2220]—CAT Model 3406, 519hp/350kW—S/N KPS01093 To be performed by Environmental Source Samplers,Inc. (ESS) Proposed Test Date: May 8, 2018 DAQ Tracking No. 2018-057st Dear Mr.Mellor: The North Carolina Division of Air Quality(DAQ)has reviewed the protocol submittal form(PSF)for CO emissions testing of the subject engines. The sources are permit-exempt No.2 fuel oil-fired peak shaving/non-emergency Caterpillar diesel engine/generators located at the subject Food Lion stores. These engines are greater than 500 brake horsepower(hp)at an existing area source. The proposed methods are acceptable for the proposed 3-year CO testing. 40 CFR 63 Subpart ZZZZ National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines(RICE NESHAP)applies and limits CO emissions to 23 ppmvd at 15%02 OR requires at least 70%reduction of CO emissions. In addition,Table 2b of 40 CFR 63 Subpart ZZZZ requires maintaining the pressure drop across the catalyst within f2 inches of water from the pressure drop value established during the initial performance test. Table 2b also requires maintaining the catalyst inlet temperature>450°F and<1350°F. CO emissions testing must be conducted every 8,760 hours of operation or 3 years,whichever comes first. The primary purpose for testing is to demonstrate compliance with 40 CFR 63 Subpart ZZZZ. The proposed test methods are EPA Method 10 for CO and EPA Method 3A for oxygen/carbon dioxide. The other purpose of performance testing is to establish or re-establish continuous monitoring parameters. Those parameters are: catalytic oxidizer inlet temperature and oxidizer differential pressure. Note that instrumentation used for this monitoring should be calibrated on a regular basis,for example,once per year. [Continuous oxidizer inlet temperature monitoring,as defined by the rule,is required whenever these sources are operating. Oxidizer differential pressure(DP)monitoring is required a minimum of once per month whenever these sources are operating.] State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality I Air Quality 217 W.Jones Street 1 1641 Mail Service Center I Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1641 919 707 8400 Mr.Brian Mellor,NESHAP Program Manager May 1,2018 Page 2 DAQ Tracking No.2018-057st Approved Test Methods for CO esting,Non-emergency CI RICE>500HP Target EPA Test No.of Test Test Run No.of Sampling Standard/ Pollutant Method Runs Duration Points Comment Emission Limit 02 3A 3 60 minutes * Concurrent with M10 CO 10 3 60 minutes * 63 subpart ZZZZ <_23 ppmvd @ 15%02 or Table 2d reduce CO by>70% * See 40 CFR 63 Subpart ZZZZ Table 4 for the procedure to determine the number of sampling points. 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 and 63 Subpart ZZZZ. Since no deviations from the applicable methodology were addressed in the protocol,the testing should be conducted in strict accordance with the requirements EPA Reference Methods 10 and Method 3A. The rated electrical energy(kW)output of the sources is listed in the Subject. Testing must be conducted at full load t10%. Please notify the Washington Regional Office(WaRO)at least 15 days before the actual test date to provide WaRO the opportunity to schedule a test observer. The final test report must include the operating rate and supporting documentation(historical operating data to support maximum normal operation stated if not operated at full load f 10%). Also include control device parameters inlet temperature and differential pressure across the device. Include the data and averages for each run and the overall test averages. Record the engine serial No. and record the eng operating hours meter reading at completion of testing and report them in the final test report. Also report the engine manufacture date and if reconstructed,the date of reconstruction. If you have questions,please contact me at(919)707-8412 orjames.hammond@ncdenr.gov.
