10. Federal and State Rules Applicable to Sources Exempted from Air Permitting_Requirements
Your facility is subject to the following federal and state rules:
40 CFR 60-NSPS -- Subpart IIII -- Standards of Performance for Stationary
Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines
40 CFR 63 -NESHAP/MACT -- Subpart WWWWW -- Hospital Ethylene
Oxide Sterilizers Area Sources
40 CFR 63 -NESHAP/MACT -- Subpart ZZZZ--Reciprocating Internal
Combustion Engines
which are applicable to some of the emission sources at your facility listed on the
"Insignificant/Exempt Activities" list attached to this permit. The purpose of this permit
condition is to inform you of your compliance obligations to these applicable rules as they
are enforceable.
11. AVOIDANCE CONDITION FOR AREA SOURCES SUBJECT TO 40 CFR 63 Subpart
JJJJJJ 6J -In accordance with 15A NCAC 2Q .0317,the Permittee is avoiding
applicability of 40 CFR 63 Subpart JJJJJJ (6J) "Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional
Boilers Area Sources." The Permittee is permitted to operate a natural gas/No. 2 fuel oil-
fired boiler(ID Nos. B1 and 132). Per 40 CFR 63.11195(e),these/this source(s) is/are
exempt from this Subpart because they are defined as gas-fired boiler(s) in 40 CFR
63.11237. In order to maintain this exemption,the Permittee is allowed to fire liquid fuel
only during periods of gas curtailment, gas supply interruptions, startups, or for periodic
testing on liquid fuel (periodic testing not to exceed a combined total of 48 hours during any
calendar year).
a. The Permittee shall maintain records that document the time periods when liquid fuel
is fired and the reasons the liquid fuel is fired.
b. If the Permittee fires liquid fuel for reasons other than gas curtailment, gas supply
interruptions, startups, or for periodic testing on liquid fuel,the Permittee is no
longer exempt from Subpart JJJJJJ (6J). As required by 40 CFR 62.11225(g),the
Permittee must provide notice within 30 days of the fuel switch. The notification
must identify:
i. The name of the owner or operator of the affected source,the location of the
source,the boiler(s)that have switched fuels, and the date of the notice.
ii. The date upon which the fuel switch occurred.
As required by 40 CFR 63.11210(h), the Permittee must demonstrate
compliance within 180 days of the effective date of the fuel switch.
12.As required by 15A NCAC 2Q .0702(a)(18),the Permittee has triggered an evaluation for
Toxic Air Pollutant(TAP) emissions from combustion sources permitted after July 10,
2010. Emissions considered in the evaluation include arsenic. At the current time,the
North Carolina Science Advisory Board (SAB)on Toxic Air Pollutants is conducting an
Permit No. 02790R14
Page 7
analysis of the Acceptable Ambient Level (AAL) for arsenic. Because of this review
process,toxics demonstrations for arsenic emissions are temporarily deferred. Once this
review process is completed and approved by the North Carolina Environmental
Management Commission(EMC), the arsenic AAL could potentially be changed. Upon
completion of the review process,the Permittee shall submit a toxics demonstration for
arsenic emissions at the approved levels if the approved levels are more stringent.
13. TOXIC AIR POLLUTANT EMISSIONS LIMITATION REQUIREMENT-Pursuant to
15A NCAC 2Q .0711 'Emission Rates Requiring a Permit," for each of the below listed
toxic air pollutants (TAPS),the Permittee has made a demonstration that facility-wide actual
emissions do not exceed the Toxic Permit Emission Rates (TPERs)listed in 15A NCAC 2Q
.0711. The facility shall be operated and maintained in such a manner that emissions of any
listed TAPs from the facility, including fugitive emissions, will not exceed TPERs listed in
15A NCAC 2Q .0711.
a. A permit to emit any of the below listed TAPS shall be required for this facility if
actual emissions from all sources will become greater than the corresponding
TPERs.
b. PRIOR to exceeding any of these listed TPERs,the Permittee shall be responsible
for obtaining a permit to emit TAPS and for demonstrating compliance with the
requirements of 15A NCAC 2D .1100 "Control of Toxic Air Pollutants".
c. In accordance with the approved application, the Permittee shall maintain records of
operational information demonstrating that the TAP emissions do not exceed the
TPERs as listed below:
