device(s), or modifications to the emission source(s) and air pollution control device(s) described in this
permit must be covered under an Air Quality Permit issued by the Division of Air Quality prior to
construction unless the Permittee has fulfilled the requirements of NCGS 143-215.108A(b) and received
written approval from the Director of the Division of Air Quality to commence construction. Failure to
receive an Air Quality Permit or written approval prior to commencing construction is a violation of NCGS

The Permittee shall be subject to the following provisions with respect to emergencies:
1. An emergency means any situation arising from sudden and reasonably unforeseeable events beyond the
control of the facility,including acts of God,which situation requires immediate corrective action to
restore normal operation,and that causes the facility to exceed a technology-based emission limitation
under the permit,due to unavoidable increases in 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.
3. The affirmative defense of emergency shall be demonstrated through properly signed contemporaneous
operating logs or other relevant evidence that include information as follows:
a. an emergency occurred and the Permittee can identify the cause(s)of the emergency;
b. the permitted facility was at the time being properly operated;
c. during the period of the emergency the Permittee took all reasonable steps to minimize levels of
emissions that exceeded the standards or other requirements in the permit;and

burden of proof.
5. This provision is in addition to any emergency or upset provision contained in any applicable requirement
specified elsewhere herein.

Permittee or applicant has complied with 15A NCAC 02Q.0512(b)(1),this 15A NCAC 02Q .0500 permit
shall not expire until the renewal permit has been issued or denied. Permit expiration under 15A NCAC 02Q
.0400 terminates the facility's right to operate unless a complete 15A NCAC 02Q.0400 renewal application is
submitted at least six months before the date of permit expiration for facilities subject to 15A NCAC 02Q
.0400 requirements. In either of these events,all terms and conditions of these permits shall remain in effect

carry out the purpose of NCGS Chapter 143,Article 21B.
T. Insignificant Activities[15A NCAC 02Q.0503]
Because an emission source or activity is insignificant does not mean that the emission source or activity is
exempted from any applicable requirement or that the owner or operator of the source is exempted from
demonstrating compliance with any applicable requirement. The Permittee shall have available at the facility

the ambient air quality standards in 15A NCAC 02D .0400 to be exceeded at any point beyond the premises on
which the source is located. When controls more stringent than named in the applicable emission standards in
this permit are required to prevent violation of the ambient air quality standards or are required to create an
offset,the permit shall contain a condition requiring these controls.
JJ. General Emissions Testing and Reporting Requirements [15A NCAC 02Q .0508(i)(16)]
Emission compliance testing shall be by the procedures of Section.2600,except as may be otherwise
required in Rules .0524, .0912, .1110, .1111, or.1415 of Subchapter 02D. If emissions testing is required by
this permit or the DAQ or if the Permittee submits emissions testing to the DAQ to demonstrate compliance,
the Permittee shall perform such testing in accordance with 15A NCAC 02D .2600 and follow the procedures
outlined below:
1. The owner or operator of the source shall arrange for air emission testing protocols to be provided to the
Director prior to air pollution testing. Testing protocols are not required to be pre-approved by the
Director prior to air pollution testing.The Director shall review air emission testing protocols for pre-
approval prior to testing if requested by the owner or operator at least 45 days before conducting the
test.
2. Any person proposing to conduct an emissions test to demonstrate compliance with an applicable
standard shall notify the Director at least 15 days before beginning the test so that the Director may at
his option observe the test.
3. The owner or operator of the source shall arrange for controlling and measuring the production rates
during the period of air testing. The owner or operator of the source shall ensure that the equipment or
process being tested is operated at the production rate that best fulfills the purpose of the test.The
individual conducting the emission test shall describe the procedures used to obtain accurate process
data and include in the test report the average production rates determined during each testing period.
4. Two copies of the final air emission test report shall be submitted to the Director not later than 30 days
after sample collection unless otherwise specified in the specific conditions. The owner or operator may
request an extension to submit the final test report.The Director shall approve an extension request if he
finds that the extension request is a result of actions beyond the control of the owner or operator.
a. The Director shall make the final determination regarding any testing procedure deviation and the
validity of the compliance test. The Director may:
i. Allow deviations from a method specified under a rule in this Section if the owner or operator
of the source being tested demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director that the specified
method is inappropriate for the source being tested.
ii. Prescribe alternate test procedures on an individual basis when he finds that the alternative
method is necessary to secure more reliable test data.
iii. Prescribe or approve methods on an individual basis for sources or pollutants for which no test
method is specified in this Section if the methods can be demonstrated to determine compliance
of permitted emission sources or pollutants.
Permit No. 04384T39
Page 41
b. The Director may authorize the Division of Air Quality to conduct independent tests of any source
subject to a rule in this Subchapter to determine the compliance status of that source or to verify any
test data submitted relating to that source. Any test conducted by the Division of Air Quality using
the appropriate testing procedures described in Section 02D .2600 has precedence over all other
tests.
KK. Reopening for Cause [15A NCAC 02Q .0517]
1. A permit shall be reopened and revised under the following circumstances:
a. additional applicable requirements become applicable to a facility with remaining permit term of three
or more years;
b. additional requirements(including excess emission requirements)become applicable to a source
covered by Title IV;
c. the Director or EPA finds that the permit contains a material mistake or that inaccurate statements
were made in establishing the emissions standards or other terms or conditions of the permit; or
d. the Director or EPA determines that the permit must be revised or revoked to assure compliance with
the applicable requirements.
2. Any permit reopening shall be completed or a revised permit issued within 18 months after the applicable
requirement is promulgated. No reopening is required if the effective date of the requirement is after the
expiration of the permit term unless the term of the permit was extended pursuant to 15A NCAC 02Q
.0513(c).
3. Except for the state-enforceable only portion of the permit,the procedures set out in 15A NCAC 02Q
.0507, .0521,or.0522 shall be followed to reissue the permit. If the State-enforceable only portion of the
permit is reopened,the procedures in 15A NCAC 02Q .0300 shall be followed. The proceedings shall
affect only those parts of the permit for which cause to reopen exists.
4. The Director shall notify the Permittee at least 60 days in advance of the date that the permit is to be
reopened,except in cases of imminent threat to public health or safety the notification period may be less
than 60 days.

EPA that a permit needs to be terminated,modified,or revoked and reissued,the Director shall send to the
EPA a proposed determination of termination,modification,or revocation and reissuance,as appropriate.
LL.Reporting Requirements for Non-Operating Equipment[15A NCAC 02Q.0508(i)(16)]
The Permittee shall maintain a record of operation for permitted equipment noting whenever the equipment is
