.1110 or.1111), or the operating permit provides for periodic(e.g.,quarterly)reporting of excess emissions,reporting
shall be performed as prescribed therein_
2. If the source is not subject to NSPS (15A NCAC 02D .0524),NESHAPS (15A NCAC 02D .1110 or.I 111),or these
rules do NOT define"excess emissions,"the Permittee shall report excess emissions in accordance with 15A NCAC 02D
.0535 as follows:
a. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02D.0535,if excess emissions last for more than four hours resulting from a malfunction,
a breakdown of process or control equipment,or any other abnormal condition,the owner or operator shall:

rule unless the owner or operator of the sources demonstrates to the Director, that the excess emissions are a result of a
malfunction. The Director shall consider,along with any other pertinent information,the criteria contained in 15A NCAC
02D.0535(c)(1)through(7).
2. 15A NCAC 02D .0535(g). Excess emissions during start-up and shut-down shall be considered a violation of the

emissions attributable to the emergency. An emergency shall not include noncompliance to the extent caused by
improperly designed equipment,lack of preventive maintenance,careless or improper operation,or operator error.
2. An emergency constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology-based
emission limitations if the conditions specified in 3.below are met.
