Unless exempted by a condition of this permit or the regulations, construction of new
air pollution sources or air cleaning devices, or modifications to the sources or air cleaning
devices described in this permit must be covered under a permit issued by the Division of Air
Quality prior to construction. Failure to do so is a violation of G.S. 143-215.108 and may

for denial of a permit renewal application. Specific changes and additions are summarized.
below (note: this list may not include all changes and additions):
• The stipulation for the "furniture" MACT, Subpart JJ, was amended to include several
changes such as the type of spray gun that can be used and formaldehyde limits.
• The generator GACT, Subpart ZZZZ was removed from the permit.since only an exempt
source is subject to it. A condition for 2Q .0102(d) "Federal and State Rules Applicable to
Sources Exempted from Air Permitting Requirements"will be added to show the facility has
an exempt source subject to ZZZZ.
• An avoidance condition for the boiler GACT, Subpart JJJJJJ, was added. The facility has
chosen to burn No. 2 fuel oil only in times of curtailment in the boiler(ES-B 1).
Should you have any questions concerning this matter,please contact Jennifer Womick at
