Subject: Review of First Semester 2016 Continuous Opacity Monitoring Systems (COMS)Excess Emissions Report
(EER)for ID No. ES 1415, ESCPPHI &ESCPPH2-40 CFR Part 60, Subparts A and UUU
Facility ID No.1900104
Dear Mr. Arnett:
The Division of Air Quality(DAQ)has reviewed the subject report, dated July 19, 2016. The report was reviewed
for compliance with the monitoring and reporting requirements as well as compliance with the emission control standard
(opacity limit) set forth in the current Air Quality Permit#09006T04. The report was also reviewed for compliance with
good operation and maintenance(O&M)practices set forth in 40 CFR Subpart A, Section 60.11(d), 60.13, and Subpart
UUU.
When the report was reviewed for compliance with the emission control standard(opacity limit), no opacity
excursion was reported.Therefore, no violations appear to have occurred for any of the units.
When the report was reviewed for compliance with the use of good O&M practices,the following percent opacity
excess emissions(%EE) and percent monitor downtime(%MD)were reported for each of the units:
UNIT FIRST QUARTER 2016 SECOND QUARTER 2016
C&S Dryer(ES 1415) IN EE 0.0% %EE 0.0%
%MD 0.83% %MD 0.74%
COLOR Dryer(ESCPPHI) %EE 0.0% %EE 0.0%
%MD 1.30% %MD 1.02%
COLOR Dryer(ESCPPH2) %EE 0.0% %EE 0.0%
%MD 1.67% %MD 1.66%
DAQ considers sources to have operated with proper O&M if%EE and/or%MD is less than the target criteria of
6.0%for any single quarter or less than 3.0%for any two consecutive quarters. Since the values indicated above are below
the target criteria that would indicate improper O&M practice, no further action is required.
