General Statute 143 215.65. The report shall be submitted to the Regional Supervisor, DAQ
and shall document air pollutants emitted for the 2015 calendar year.
3. SULFUR DIOXIDE CONTROL REQUIREMENT - As required by 15A NCAC 2D .0516
"Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from Combustion Sources," sulfur dioxide emissions from the
combustion sources shall not exceed 2.3 pounds per million Btu heat input.
4. VISIBLE EMISSIONS CONTROL REQUIREMENT -As required by 15A NCAC 2D
.0521 "Control of Visible Emissions," visible emissions from the emission sources,
manufactured after July 1, 1971, shall not be more than 20 percent opacity when averaged
over a six-minute period, except that six-minute periods averaging not more than 87 percent
opacity may occur not more than once in any hour nor more than four times in any 24-hour
period. However,sources which must comply with 15A NCAC 2D .0524 "New Source
Performance Standards" or .1110 "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants" must comply with applicable visible emissions requirements contained therein.
5. NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENT - As required by 15A NCAC 2D .0535, the Permittee of
a source of excess emissions that last for more than four hours and that results from a
malfunction, a breakdown of process or control equipment or any other abnormal
conditions, shall: .

iv. the expected duration, and

Permit No. 06093R07
Page 3
V. an estimated rate of emissions.
b. Notify the Director or his designee immediately when the corrective measures have
been accomplished.
This reporting requirement does not allow the operation of the facility in excess of
Environmental Management Commission Regulations.
6. FUGITIVE DUST CONTROL REQUIREMENT - As required by I5A NCAC 2D .0540
"Particulates from Fugitive Dust Emission Sources," the Permittee shall not cause or allow
fugitive dust emissions to cause or contribute to substantive complaints or excess visible
emissions beyond the property boundary. If substantive complaints or excessive fugitive
dust emissions from the facility are observed beyond the property boundaries for six minutes
in any one hour (using Reference Method 22 in 40 CFR, Appendix A), the owner or
operator may be required to submit a fugitive dust plan as described in 2D .0540(f).
"Fugitive dust emissions" means particulate matter that does not pass through a process
stack or vent and that is generated within plant property boundaries from activities such as:
unloading and loading areas, process areas stockpiles, stock pile working, plant parking lots,
and plant roads (including access roads and haul roads).
7. CLEAN AIR INTERSTATE RULE �CAIR) PERMIT REQUIREMENTS
The EPA's Clean Air Interstate Rules (CAIR) are not applicable to the combustion turbines

The requirements of 15A NCAC 2D .2400 "Clean Air Interstate Rules" no longer apply to
the combustion turbines (ID Nos. ES-ICI through ES-IC4). According to 15A NCAC 2D
.2401(a), the purpose of the 2D .2400 rules is to implement CAIR. Because CAIR no longer
applies, the 2D .2400 rules also no longer apply.
9. CROSS STATE AIR POLLUTION RULES (CSAPR) PERMIT REQUIREMENTS
For the four (4) combustion turbines (ID Nos. ES-ICI through ES-IC4), the Permittee shall
comply with all applicable requirements of 40 CFR Part 97, Subpart AAAAA "TR NOx
