c. Although the method from 40 CFR 63.5810(b)is detailed below,the Permittee,as described in 40 CFR 63.5810,
may change compliance methods to any method specified in 40 CFR 63.5810. The Permittee shall demonstrate
that, on average,you meet the individual organic HAP emission limits for each unique combination of operation
type and resin application method or gel coat type shown above by:
i. grouping the process streams by operation type and resin application method or gel coat type listed above and
then calculate a weighted average emission factor based on the amounts of each individual resin or gel coat
used for the last 12 months. To do this,sum the product of each individual organic HAP emission factor
calculated in 63.5810(a)(1)and the amount of neat resin plus and neat gel coat plus usage that corresponds to
the individual factors and divide the numerator by the total amount of neat resin plus and neat gel coat plus
used in that operation type as shown in the following equation:
n
Average Organic HAP Emissions Factor=Y(Actual processstreamEF,)(Material,)

(tons)
n=number ofprocess streams where you calculated an organic HAP emissions factor.
ii. comparing each organic HAP emission factor calculated in Section 2.1 A.2.c.i above with its corresponding
organic HAP emission limit above. If all emission factors are equal to or less than their corresponding
emission limits,then the Permittee is in compliance [63.5810(b)].
d. The results of the monitoring shall be maintained in a logbook(written or electronic format)on-site and made
available to an authorized representative upon request. The logbook shall record the following:
i. all data,assumptions, and calculations used to determine organic HAP emission factors including records of
resin and gel coat use, organic HAP content,and operation where the resin is used. Resin use records may be
based on purchase records if the Permittee can reasonably estimate how the resin is applied. The organic HAP
content records may be based on MSDS or on resin specifications supplied by the resin supplier[63.5895(c)];
and
ii. certified statement that the Permittee is in compliance with the work practice requirements listed above.
The Permittee shall be deemed in noncompliance with 15A NCAC 2D .I I I I if these records are not maintained.

procedures outlined below:
Permit No. 09941T02
Page 19
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.

sample collection unless otherwise specified in the specific conditions. 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.
