for 15A NCAC 2D. 0530: PREVENTION OF SIGNIFICANT DETERIORATION
a. In order to avoid applicability of this regulation,the above emission sources shall discharge into the
atmosphere less than 250 tons of VOCs per consecutive 12-month period.
Monitoring/Recordkeeping [15A NCAC 2Q .0508(f)]
b. Calculation of facility-wide monthly VOC emissions shall be made at the end of each month. Except
for the isopropyl alcohol(IPA)emissions from the cathode paste manufacturing process (ID No. ES-
01),VOC emissions shall be determined by multiplying the total amount of each type of VOC-
containing material consumed during the month by the VOC content of the material. The IPA
emissions from the cathode paste manufacturing operation(ID No.ES-01) shall be determined using
the following procedure:
]PA—emitted= [(VIPA_in)x(6.58 lb IPA/Gallon IPA))] - [(V_discharged)x(Wt%_IPA/100)x
(density)]
Where: IPA_emitted=monthly mass of IPA emitted to the atmosphere, in pounds,
VIPA_in=monthly volume, in gallons, of IPA used in the process,
density=density of the effluent, lb/gallon, (=8.014 lb/gallon for a 25%IPA/water solution by
weight),
V_discharged=total monthly volume, in gallons, of effluent(IPA water mixture)discharged
from the surge tank to the sewer. V_discharged shall be determined using a flow
meter/totalizer. The flow meter/totalizer shall be installed and operational by October 31,
2003. For the purposes of computing V_discharged prior to the installation of the flow
meter/totalizer,V_discharged shall be determined using a daily discharge volume of 200
gallons per day of IPA water mixture. After the flow meter/totalizer becomes operational,the
company shall determine and record the total volume discharged from the surge tank to the
sewer each day during the month. The flow meter/totalizer shall be calibrated yearly as per the
manufacturer's recommended procedures unless a more frequent calibration period is specified
by the manufacturer. If the total volume discharged during a day cannot be determined due to
failure of the flow meter/totalizer or other reasons,then the volume for that day shall be the
lesser of. (1)the lowest daily volume discharged during the prior three calendar months, or(2)
200 gallons.
Wt%_IPA=weight percent of IPA in the effluent discharged to the sewer. The weight percent
shall be the average percent by weight for the calendar month. The company shall collect equal
volume aliquots from the surge tank prior to discharging the contents of the tank to the sewer.
Each of these aliquots shall be composited to create a monthly composite, and the IPA
concentration of the monthly composite determined on a percent by weight basis using SW-

846-8015 or an equivalent method upon approval by the DAQ, and the density shall be
determined based on the specific gravity of the mixture as determined by Method 2710-F
(Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Waste Water)or its equivalent.
The Permittee shall be deemed in noncompliance with 15A NCAC 2D .0530 if the amounts of VOC
containing materials or the VOC emissions are not monitored and recorded.
c. Calculations and the total amount of VOC emissions shall be recorded monthly in a logbook(written or
electronic format). The daily volume of the IPA/water effluent discharged from the surge tank shall be
recorded. The results of all analyses of the monthly composite effluent samples for the weight percent
IPA and the density shall also be recorded. In addition,the Permittee must make available to officials
of the DAQ,upon request, copies of the monthly emissions log. The Permittee must keep each entry in
the monthly emissions log and all required records on file for a minimum of three years. The Permittee
shall be deemed in noncompliance with 15A NCAC 2D .0530 if the VOC emissions exceed this limit.
Reporting [15A NCAC 2Q .0508(f)]
d. The Permittee shall submit a summary report of monitoring and recordkeeping activities within 30 days
after each calendar year quarter, due and postmarked on or before January 30 of each calendar year for
the preceding three-month period between October and December,April 30 of each calendar year for
the preceding three-month period between January and March, July 30 of each calendar year for the
preceding three-month period between April and June, and October 30 for the calendar year for the
preceding three-month period between July and September. The report shall contain the following:
i. The monthly VOC emissions for the previous 14 months. The emissions shall be calculated for
each of the 12-month periods over the previous 14 months. The report shall also contain the weight
percent IPA,the density of the IPA/water mixture,the volume of IPA/water mixture discharged to
the sewer, and copies of all analyses during the reporting period for the weight percent IPA and
density of the IPA/water mixture discharged to the sewer.

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 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.

Permit No. 04595T15
Page 18
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 [I 5A NCAC 2Q .0517]
