monitoring downtime are defined as:
i. For samples of gaseous fuel and for oil samples obtained using daily sampling, flow
proportional sampling, or sampling from the unit's storage tank, an excess emission occurs each
unit operating hour included in the period beginning on the date and hour of any sample for
which the sulfur content of the fuel being fired in the combustion turbine exceeds the applicable
limit and ending on the date and hour that a subsequent sample is taken that demonstrates
compliance with the sulfur limit.
ii. If the option to sample each delivery of fuel oil has been selected, the Permittee must
immediately switch to one of the other oil sampling options if the sulfur content of a delivery
exceeds 0.05% by weight (500 ppmw). The Permittee shall continue to use one of the other
sampling options until all of the oil from the delivery has been combusted, and the Permittee
shall evaluate excess emissions according to Paragraph j.i., above.
iii. A period of monitor downtime begins when a required sample is not taken by its due date. A
period of monitor downtime also begins on the date and hour of a required sample, if invalid
results are obtained. The period of monitor downtime ends on the date and hour of the next valid
sample.

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 2D .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

Air Permit No. 09492T08
Page 23
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:
(1) 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.
(2) Prescribe alternate test procedures on an individual basis when he finds that the alternative
method is necessary to secure more reliable test data.
(3) 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.
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 2D .2600 has precedence
over all other tests.

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 2Q .0513(c).
3. Except for the state-enforceable only portion of the permit,the procedures set out in 15A NCAC 2Q
.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 2Q .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.
5. Within 90 days,or 180 days if the EPA extends the response period,after receiving notification from
the 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.

a. a description of the change at the facility;
b. the date on which the change will occur;
c. any change in emissions; and
d. any permit term or condition that is no longer applicable as a result of the change.
In addition to this notification requirement, with the next significant modification or Air Quality
Permit renewal,the Permittee shall submit a page "E5" of the application forms signed by the
responsible official verifying that the application for the 502(b)(10)change/modification, is true,
accurate,and complete. Further note that modifications made pursuant to 502(b)(10)do not relieve
the Permittee from satisfying preconstruction requirements.
00. Third Party Participation and EPA Review [15A NCAC 2Q .0521, .0522 and.0525(7)]
For permits modifications subject to 45-day review by the federal Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), EPA's decision to not object to the proposed permit is considered final and binding on the EPA
and absent a third party petition,the failure to object is the end of EPA's decision-making process with
respect to the revisions to the permit. The time period available to submit a public petition pursuant to
