indicated there were no violations of the applicable standard(40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Dc). Most excess
emissions were attributed to either startup, shutdown,malfunction, or other exempt emissions. These
emissions were reviewed and allowed in accordance with applicable monitoring rules.
In addition,percent excess emissions (%EE)and percent monitor downtime(%MD)were reviewed for
compliance with good operation and maintenance (O&M) practices pursuant to 40 CFR 60.11(d) and
NCAC 2D .0606. The data provided in the report indicate that%EE and %MD were within acceptable
levels as prescribed in the permit and the North Carolina continuous monitoring enforcement plan
