SUBJECT: 2009 Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) Allowances from New Unit Set-aside
North Carolina Electric Membership Corporation(NCEMC)—Anson Plant
Air Quality Permit No. 09492R04
Facility ID 0400050
Lilesville, North Carolina
Anson County
Dear Mr. Ryan:
This is in response to the December 17, 2008, request from Ms. June Small for 2009 NOx
allowances for the NCEMC Anson Plant. We have determined the facility is considered a new unit
under 40 CFR 96.142, CAIR NOx allowance allocations and 40 CFR 96.342, CAIR NOx Ozone
Season allowance allocations. Paragraph (c)(3) of either regulation allows the CAIR designated
representative to request control period CAIR NOx allowances based on the amount of NOx
emissions during the calendar year immediately preceding the control period. Since the 2008 NOx
emissions from this facility were 40 tons of which 39 tons were emitted during the ozone season
(May 1 through September 30), the approved 2009 annual NOx allocation will be 40 tons which
includes 39 tons allocated for the ozone season.
The Division of Air Quality (DAQ) will issue these allowances (from North Carolina's new unit
set-aside account) through EPA's Clean Air Markets Division(CAMD). Should the facility emit
less than the allocated quantities, the State of North Carolina will return the remaining allowances
to its new unit set-aside account; such allowances cannot be banked, traded, or sold. Should the
actual amount of NOx emissions from the facility exceed its allocation, you must obtain sufficient
allowances to cover that difference from the cap and trade market operated by CAMD.
Until DAQ completes a periodic reallocation per 15A NCAC 02D .2413, you must make an annual
allocation request. NOx allocations for the requested year must be based upon the previous year's
actual NOx emissions. Requests for CAIR NOx annual allowances should be made on or before
