The source is a 4-stroke lean burn natural gas engine emergency generator rated at 804 horsepower(hp). The proposed testing is the periodic performance testing required by applicable regulations for new sources every three years or 8,760 hours,whichever comes first. The engine has not operated for 8,760 hours and this test will meet the third year requirement. Applicable regulations: • 40 CFR 63 Subpart ZZZZ National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines(RICE NESHAP) • Permit including Section 3.0 General Conditions Section JJ General Emissions Testing and Reporting Requirements • 15A NCAC 2D .2600 Source Testing • 40 CFR 60 Subpart JJJJ,Standards of Performance for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines The primary purpose for testing is to demonstrate compliance with 40 CFR 60 Subpart JJJJ. Compliance with 40 CFR 63 Subpart ZZZZ is met by complying with the emission limits in 40 CFR 60 Subpart JJJJ.

Approval of the protocol does not exempt the tester from the minimum requirements of the applicable methods and 60 Subpart JJJJ requirements. Since no deviations from the applicable testing methodology were addressed in the test protocol,the testing should be conducted in strict accordance with the requirements of EPA Methods 2,3A, 4, 7E, 10, 18, and 25A. Testing must be conducted at full load f 10%. Testing proposed operating process rate of 804 hp is acceptable. If you have questions,please contact me at(919) 707-8413 or gary.saundersCancdenr.gov.
