required to register a source of air pollution,this registration and required information will be in accordance
with 15A NCAC 2D .0202(b).
11. Ambient Air Quality Standards [15A NCAC 2D .0501(c)]
In addition to any control or manner of operation necessary to meet emission standards specified in this
permit,any source of air pollution shall be operated with such control or in such manner that the source shall
not cause the ambient air quality standards in 15A NCAC 2D .0400 to be exceeded at any point beyond the
premises on which the source is located. When controls more stringent than named in the applicable
emission standards in this permit are required to prevent violation of the ambient air quality standards or are
required to create an offset,the permit shall contain a condition requiring these controls.
JJ. General Emissions Testing and Reporting Requirements [15A NCAC 2Q .0508(i)(16)]
Emission compliance testing shall be by the procedures of Section .2600, except as may be otherwise
required in Rules .0524, .0912, .1110, .1111, or .1415 of Subchapter 2D.
If emissions testing is required by this permit or the DAQ or if the Permittee submits emissions testing to the
DAQ to demonstrate compliance,the Permittee shall perform such testing in accordance with 15A NCAC
2D.2600 and follow the procedures outlined below:
1. The owner or operator of the source shall arrange for air emission testing protocols to be provided to
the Director prior to air pollution testing. Testing protocols are not required to be pre-approved by the
Director prior to air pollution testing. The Director shall review air emission testing protocols for pre-
approval prior to testing if requested by the owner or operator at least 45 days before conducting the
test.
2. Any person proposing to conduct an emissions test to demonstrate compliance with an applicable
standard shall notify the Director at least 15 days before beginning the test so that the Director may at
his option observe the test.
3. The owner or operator of the source shall arrange for controlling and measuring the production rates
during the period of air testing. The owner or operator of the source shall ensure that the equipment or
process being tested is operated at the production rate that best fulfills the purpose of the test. The
individual conducting the emission test shall describe the procedures used to obtain accurate process
data and include in the test report the average production rates determined during each testing period.
4. Two copies of the final air emission test report shall be submitted to the Director not later than 30
days after sample collection. The owner or operator may request an extension to submit the final test
report. The Director shall approve an extension request if he finds that the extension request is a result
of actions beyond the control of the owner or operator.
a. The Director shall make the final determination regarding any testing procedure deviation and the
validity of the compliance test. The Director may:
(1) Allow deviations from a method specified under a rule in this Section if the owner or operator
of the source being tested demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director that the specified
method is inappropriate for the source being tested.
(2) Prescribe alternate test procedures on an individual basis when he finds that the alternative
method is necessary to secure more reliable test data.
(3) Prescribe or approve methods on an individual basis for sources or pollutants for which no
test method is specified in this Section if the methods can be demonstrated to determine
compliance of permitted emission sources or pollutants.

b. The Director may authorize the Division of Air Quality to conduct independent tests of any
source subject to a rule in this Subchapter to determine the compliance status of that source or to
verify any test data submitted relating to that source. Any test conducted by the Division of Air
Quality using the appropriate testing procedures described in Section 2D .2600 has precedence
over all other tests.
KK. Reopening for Cause[15A NCAC 2Q .0517]
1. A permit shall be reopened and revised under the following circumstances:
a. additional applicable requirements become applicable to a facility with remaining permit term of
three or more years;
b. additional requirements(including excess emission requirements)become applicable to a source
covered by Title IV;
c. the Director or EPA finds that the permit contains a material mistake or that inaccurate statements
were made in establishing the emissions standards or other terms or conditions of the permit; or
d. the Director or EPA determines that the permit must be revised or revoked to assure compliance
with the applicable requirements.
2. Any permit reopening shall be completed or a revised permit issued within 18 months after the
applicable requirement is promulgated. No reopening is required if the effective date of the requirement
is after the expiration of the permit term unless the term of the permit was extended pursuant to 15A
NCAC 2Q .0513(c).
3. Except for the state-enforceable only portion of the permit,the procedures set out in 15A NCAC 2Q
.0507, .0521,or.0522 shall be followed to reissue the permit. If the State-enforceable only portion of
the permit is reopened,the procedures in 15A NCAC 2Q .0300 shall be followed. The proceedings
shall affect only those parts of the permit for which cause to reopen exists.
4. The Director shall notify the Permittee at least 60 days in advance of the date that the permit is to be
reopened,except in cases of imminent threat to public health or safety the notification period may be
less than 60 days.
5. Within 90 days,or 180 days if the EPA extends the response period,after receiving notification from
the EPA that a permit needs to be terminated,modified,or revoked and reissued,the Director shall send
to the EPA a proposed determination of termination,modification, or revocation and reissuance, as
appropriate.
LL.Reporting Requirements for Non-Operating Equipment[15A NCAC 2Q .0508(i)(16)]
The Permittee shall maintain a record of operation for permitted equipment noting whenever the equipment
is taken from and placed into operation. During operation the monitoring recordkeeping and reporting
requirements as prescribed by the permit shall be implemented within the monitoring period.
MM. Fugitive Dust Control Requirement [15A NCAC 2D .0540] - STATE ENFORCEABLE ONLY
As required by 15A 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 from process operations 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).
