monitoring downtime shall be defined as follows[§60.4385):
(A)For samples of gaseous fuel,an excess emission occurs each unit operating(tour included in the
period beginning on the date and hour of any sample for which the sulfur content of the fuel being
fired in the combustion turbine exceeds the applicable limit and ending on the date and hour that a
subsequent sample is taken that demonstrates compliance with the sulfur limit.
(B) If the option to sample each delivery of fuel oil has been selected, the Permittee shall immediately
switch to one of the other oil sampling options(i.e.,daily sampling,flow proportional sampling,
or sampling from the unit's storage tank)if the sulfur content of a delivery exceeds 0.05 weight
percent.The Permittee shall continue to use one of the other sampling options until all of the oil
from the delivery has been combusted,and the Permittee shall evaluate excess emissions
according to this Section.When all of the fuel from the delivery has been burned, the Permittee
may resume using the as-delivered sampling option.
(C)A period of monitor downtime begins when a required sample is not taken by its due date. A
I
period of monitor downtime also begins on the date and hour of a required sample,if invalid
results are obtained,The period of monitor downtime ends on the date and hour of the next valid

iv. For purposes of identifying excess emissions when using NOx CEMs:
(A) All CEMS data must be reduced to hourly averages as specified in§60.13(h).
(B) For each unit operating hour in which a valid hourly average,as described in§60.4345(b), is
obtained for both NOx and diluent monitors, the data acquisition and handling system must
calculate and record the hourly NOx emission rate in units of ppm or lb/mmBtu,using the
appropriate equation from method 19 in Appendix A of this part.For any hour in which the
hourly average Oz concentration exceeds 19.0 percent OZ(or the hourly average COz
concentration is less than 1.0 percent COA a diluent cap value of 19.0 percent OZor 1.0 percent
COz(as applicable)may be used in the emission calculations.
(C) Correction of measured NOx concentrations to 15 percent Otis not allowed.
(D) If you have installed and certified a NOxdiluent CEMS to meet the requirements of part 75 of this
chapter, states can approve that only quality assured data from the CEMS shall be used to identify
excess emissions under this subpart.Periods where the missing data substitution procedures in
subpart D of part 75 are applied are to be reported as monitor downtime in the excess emissions
and monitoring performance report required under§60.7(c).
(E) All required fuel flow rate,steam flow rate,temperature,pressure,and megawatt data must be
reduced to hourly averages.
(F) Calculate the hourly average NOx emission rates,in units of the emission standards under
§60.4320,using either ppm for units complying with the concentration limit or the Following
equation for units complying with the output based standard:
(1)For simple-cycle operation:
E^ (NO,,),P (HI), (Eq. 1)
Where:
E=hourly NOx emission rate,in lbIMWh,
(NOx)r,=hourly NOx emission rate,in lb/mmBtu,
(HI),,=hourly heat input rate to the unit,in mmBtuth,measured using the fuel flowmeter(s),e.g. ,
calculated using Equation D—I5a in appendix D to part 75 of this chapter,and
P=gross energy output of the combustion turbine in MW.
(G) For simple cycle units without heat recovery, use the calculated hourly average emission rates
from§60.4350(f)to assess excess emissions on a 4-hour rolling average basis,as described in
§60.4380(b)(1).
Y. For affected units that are also subject to Part 75 of this chapter and that have state approval to use the
low mass emissions methodology in§75.19 or the NOx emission measurement methodology in
appendix E to Part 75,the Permittee shall meet the requirements of this paragraph by developing and
keeping on-site(or at a central location for unmanned facilities)a QA plan,as described in
§75.19(e)(5)or in section 2.3 of appendix E to Part 75 of this chapter and Section 1.3.6 of Appendix
B to Part 75 of this chapter.
The Permittee shall be deemed in noncompliance with 15A NCAC 2D.0524 if monitoring of sources

f. Reporting[15A NCAC 2D .0524,40 CFR§60.4375 and 60.4395]
The Pennittee shall submit reports of excess emissions and monitor downtime in accordance with§60.7(c).
The Permittee shall report excess emissions for all periods of operation,including start-up,shutdown,and
malfunction.These reports shall be postmarked by the 30th day following[lie end of each 6-month period.
i. For the purpose of reports required under§60.7(c),periods of excess emissions and monitor downtime
that must be reported are defined as follows:
(A) For turbines using water or steam to fuel ratio monitoring:
(1) An excess emission is any unit operating hour for which the 4-hour rolling average steam or
water to fuel ratio,as measured by the continuous monitoring system,falls below the
acceptable steam or water to fuel ratio needed to demonstrate compliance with§60.4320, as
established during the performance test required in§60.8. Any unit operating hour in which
no water or steam is injected into the turbine when a fuel is being burned that requires water
or steam injection for NOx control will also be considered an excess emission.
(2) A period of monitor downtime is any unit operating hour in which water or steam is injected
into the turbine,but the essential parametric data needed to determine the steam or water to
fuel ratio are unavailable or invalid.
(3) Each report must include the average steam or water to fuel ratio,average fuel consumption,
and the combustion turbine load during each excess emission. I
(B) For turbines using continuous emission monitoring,as described in§§60.4335(b)and 60.4345:
(1) An excess emission is any unit operating period in which the 4-hour rolling average NOx
emission rate exceeds the applicable emission limit in§60.4320.For the purposes of this
subpart, a"4-hour rolling average NOx emission rate"is the arithmetic average of the average
NOx emission rate in ppm or ng1J(lb/MWh)measured by the continuous emission
monitoring equipment for a given hour and the three unit operating hour average NOx
emission rates immediately preceding that unit operating hour.Calculate the rolling average
if a valid NOx emission rate is obtained for at least 3 of the 4 hours.
(2) A period of monitor downtime is any unit operating hour in which the data for any of the
following parameters are either urissing or invalid:NOx concentration,CO2 or 02
concentration, fuel flow rate,steam flow rate,steam temperature, steam pressure,or
megawatts.The steam flow rate,steam temperature,and steam pressure are only required if
you will use this information for compliance purposes.
(3) For operating periods during which multiple emssions standards apply, the applicable
standard is(lie average of the applicable standards during each hour.For hours with multiple
emissions standards,the applicable limit for that hour is determined based on the condition
that corresponded to the highest emissions standard.
(C) For turbines required to monitor combustion parameters or parameters that document proper
operation of the NOx emission controls:
(1) An excess emission is a 4-hour rolling unit operating hour average in which any monitored
parameter does not achieve the target value or is outside the acceptable range defined in the
parameter monitoring plan for the unit.
(2) A period of monitor downtime is a unit operating hour in which any of the required
parametric data are either not recorded or are invalid.
