To: Ron Slack,Mooresville Regional Office
From: Thaochi Vu, Stationary Source Compliance Branch(SSCB)
Subject: Concord City Generating Plant#2(Manor Site),Plant# 1 (Flor nce Site),Non-permitted
Weddington Site
Concord, Cabarrus County,North Carolina
Facility ID: Manor Site: 1300104,Permit No. 07645R06,Florence Site: 1300103,Permit No.

Carbon Monoxide Testing Conducted 11/30 to 12/02,2015, on 7 diesel-fired internal combustion
engines by Montrose Air Quality Services
Tracking No: 2015-228ST(1300104)and 2016-040ST(1300103)
The subject test report has been reviewed.The sources tested were seven diesel-fired engines/generators
used for emergency and peak-shaving power generation at the facility. The purpose of the testing was to
demonstrate compliance with emission limits established by 40 CFR 63, Subpart ZZZZ(4Z),National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines. The
facility must control carbon monoxide(CO)by at least 70%efficiency(inlet and outlet testing)or to 23
ppmvd @ 15%02 for the engines. Testing can be conducted simultaneously at the inlet and outlet to
demonstrate the reduction efficiency for the unit. Alternatively, the outlet concentration of CO can be
used to demonstrate compliance. The results of the test are summarized below:

40 CFR 63 Subpart 4Z requires an initial performance test to be conducted within 180 days of the
compliance date(May 3, 2013) or start up for an engine subject to the testing requirements. Subsequent
testing is required every 8760 hours of operation or three calendar years,whichever is sooner. The
engines/generators were tested at 100%load+/-10%which is representative of normal operation for these
generators as allowed under 40 CFR 63.7. During the test for the engines, inlet catalyst oxidation
temperature and pressure drop across the catalyst were measured for future continuous compliance
determinations. These are summarized in Table 2.
