Air Quality Permit No. 05896T20 to Stericycle, Inc., 1168 Porter Avenue, Haw River, North
Carolina authorizing the construction and operation,of the emission source(s) and associated air
pollution control device(s) specified herein. Additionally, any emissions activities determined from
your Air Quality Permit Application as being insignificant per 15A North Carolina Administrative
Code 2Q .0503(8)have been listed for informational purposes as an "ATTACHMENT." Please note
the requirements for the annual compliance certification are contained in General Condition P in
Section 3.The current owner is responsible for submitting a compliance certification for the entire year
regardless of who owned the facility during the year.

15A NCAC 2Q .0515. The compliance certification as described in General Condition P is required.
Unless otherwise notified by NC DAQ, the affected terms of this permit(excluding the permit shield as
described General Condition R) for this source shall become final on (Enter date; 60 days after issue
date). Until this date, the affected permit terms herein reflect the proposed operating language that the
Pennittee shall operate this source under pursuant to 15A NCAC 2Q .0515(f).

Page 20
malfunction. The Director shall consider,along with any other pertinent information,the criteria contained in 15A
NCAC 2D.0535(c)(1)through(7).

The Permittee shall be subject to the following provisions with respect to emergencies:
1. An emergency means any situation arising from sudden and reasonably unforeseeable events beyond the control of the
facility,including acts of God,which situation requires immediate corrective action to restore nonnal operation,and that
causes the facility to exceed a technology-based emission limitation under the permit,due to unavoidable increases in
emissions attributable to the emergency. An emergency shall not include noncompliance to the extent caused by
improperly designed equipment,lack of preventive maintenance,careless or improper operation,or operator error.
2. An emergency constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology-based
emission limitations if the conditions specified in 3.below are met.

or other relevant evidence that include information as follows:
a. an emergency occurred and the Permittee can identify the cause(s)of the emergency;
b. the permitted facility was at the time being properly operated;

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.
a. The Director shall snake 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.

establishing the emissions standards or other terms or conditions of the permit;or
d. the Director or EPA determines that the permit must be revised or revoked to assure compliance with the applicable
requirements.
2. Any permit reopening shall be completed or a revised permit issued within 18 months after the applicable requirement is
promulgated. No reopening is required if the effective date of the requirement is after the expiration of the permit term
unless the term of the pen-nit was extended pursuant to 15A NCAC 2Q.0513(c).
3. Except for the state-enforceable only portion of the permit,the procedures set out in 15A NCAC 2Q.0507,.0521,or

As required by 15A NCAC 2D.0540 "Particulates from Fugitive Dust Emission Sources,"the Permittee shall not cause or
allow fugitive dust emissions to cause or contribute to substantive complaints or excess visible emissions beyond the
property boundary.If substantive complaints or excessive fugitive dust emissions from the facility are observed beyond the
property boundaries for six minutes in any one hour(using Reference Method 22 in 40 CFR,Appendix A),the owner or
operator may be required to submit a fugitive dust plan as described in 2D.0540(f).

Pen-nit 05896T20
Page 25
"Fugitive dust emissions"means particulate matter from process operations that does not pass through a process stack or
vent and that is generated within plant property boundaries from activities such as:unloading and loading areas,process
areas stockpiles,stock pile working,plant parking lots,and plant roads(including access roads and haul roads).

Application for the air emission source(s)and associated air pollution control device(s)on or before 12 months after
commencing operation.
2. For modifications made pursuant to 15A NCAC 2Q.0501(d)(2),the Permittee shall not begin operation of the air
emission source(s)and associated air pollution control device(s)until a Title V Air Quality Permit Application is
filed and a construction and operation pen-nit following the procedures of Section.0500(except for Rule.0504 of
this Section)is obtained.
3. For modifications made pursuant to 502(b)(10),in accordance with 15A NCAC 2Q.0523(a)(1)(C),the Permittee

C. any change in emissions;and
d. any permit term or condition that is no longer applicable as a result of the change.
In addition to this notification requirement,with the next significant modification or Air Quality Permit renewal,the
Permittee shall submit a page"E5"of the application forms signed by the responsible official verifying that the
application for the 502(b)(10)change/modification,is true,accurate,and complete. Further note that modifications
made pursuant to 502(b)(10)do not relieve the Permittee from satisfying preconstruction requirements.
00. Third Party Participation and EPA Review [15A NCAC 2Q.0521, .0522 and .0525(7)]
For permits modifications subject to 45-day review by the federal Environment Protection Agency(EPA), EPA's
