provisions or issues for which the modification is sought. Please note that the permit will become
final and binding regardless of a request for informal modification unless a request for a hearing is
also made under G.S. 150B-23.
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
subject the Permittee to civil or criminal penalties as described in G.S. 143-215.114A and 143-
215.114B.

Changes have been made to the permit stipulations. The Permittee is responsible for
carefully reading the entire permit and evaluating the requirements of each permit
stipulation. The Permittee shall comply with all terms, conditions, requirements, limitations
and restrictions set forth in this permit. Noncompliance with any permit condition is grounds
for enforcement action, for permit termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification, or
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 new mist eliminator(ID No. CD-6)has replaced the after-burner(ID No. CD-1) as
the control device for tenter frames ID Nos. ES-1, ES-2, and ES-3). Inspection and
maintenance requirements for the mist eliminator are added to the permit while the
inspection and maintenance requirements for the after-burner are removed.
• The terms "inlet" and "outlet" are removed from the description of the existing mist
eliminator and venturi scrubber(ID Nos. CD-4 and CD-5, respectively).

iii. the time when the malfunction or breakdown is first observed,
iv. the expected duration, and
V. an estimated rate of emissions.
b. Notify the Director or his designee immediately when the corrective measures have
been accomplished.
This reporting requirement does not allow the operation of the facility in excess of
Environmental Management Commission Regulations.
7. FUGITIVE DUST CONTROL REQUIREMENT -As required by 15A NCAC 2D .0540
"Particulates from Fugitive Dust Emission Sources," the Permittee shall not cause or allow
