Hazardous Air Pollutants for Area Sources: Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional
Boilers", including Subpart A "General Provisions."
a. Compliance Dates (40 CFR 63.11196) -The owner or operator of an existing
source is required to comply with the tune-up and the energy assessment
requirements no later than March 21,2014.
b. Compliance Requirements - As required by 15A NCAC 2D .1111, the Permittee
shall comply with the following requirements:
i. General Duty Clause (40 CFR 63.11205(a)) -At all times the Permittee
shall operate and maintain any affected source, including associated air
pollution control equipment and monitoring equipment,in a manner
consistent with safety and good air pollution control practices for
minimizing emissions.
ii. Boiler Tune-up (40 CFR 63.11223) - An initial boiler tune-up is required
by March 21,2014. If the unit is not operating on the required date for a
tune-up,the tune-up must be conducted within thirty days of startup. The
Permittee shall comply with the following with respect to the tune-up:
A. Periodic tune-ups: A biennial tune-up is required and shall be
conducted no more than 25 months after the previous tune-up. The
following units are only required to conduct a tune-up every five
years: seasonal boilers (shutdown for 7 consecutive months or 210
consecutive days each 12-month period due to seasonal conditions;
only biomass or oil), limited-use boilers, and units with oxygen
trim systems, as defined in 40 CFR 63.11237. Each five-year tune-
up must be conducted within 61 months of the previous tune-up.
B. Fuel required for the tune-up: The permittee shall conduct the tune-
up while burning the type of fuel (or fuels in the case of boilers
that routinely burn two types of fuels at the same time) that
provided the majority of the heat input to the boiler over the 12
months prior to the tune-up.
Permit No. 03453R21
Page 8
C. As applicable, inspect the burner, and clean or replace any
components of the burner as necessary. The Permittee may delay
the burner inspection until the next scheduled unit shutdown, but
must inspect each burner at least once every 36 months (72 months
for 5-year tune-ups).
D. Inspect the flame pattern, as applicable, and adjust the burner as
necessary to optimize the flame pattern. The adjustment should be
consistent with the manufacturer's specifications, if available.
E. Inspect the system controlling the air-to-fuel ratio, as applicable,
and ensure that it is correctly calibrated and functioning properly.
The Permittee may delay the air to fuel ratio inspection until the
next scheduled unit shutdown, but must conduct the inspection at
least once every 36 months (72 months for 5-year tune-ups).
F. Optimize total emissions of carbon monoxide. This optimization
should be consistent with the manufacturer's specifications, if
available, and with any nitrogen oxide requirement to which the
unit is subject.
G. Measure the concentrations in the effluent stream of carbon
monoxide in parts per million, by volume, and oxygen in volume
percent, before and after the adjustments are made (measurements
may be either on a dry or wet basis, as long as it is the same basis
before and after the adjustments are made). Measurements may be
taken with a portable CO analyzer.
iii. Energy Assessment(40 CFR 63.11214(c)) -A one-time initial energy
assessment is required by March 21,2014. The energy assessment must
be performed by a qualified energy assessor. An energy assessment
completed on or after January 1, 2008,that meets or is amended to meet
the energy assessment requirements in this section satisfies the energy
assessment requirement. This energy assessment requirement does not
apply to limited use boilers as defined in 40 CFR 63.11237. A facility that
operates under an energy management program compatible with ISO
50001 that includes the affected units satisfies the energy assessment
requirement. The energy assessment must include:
A. A visual inspection of the boiler system.
B. An evaluation of operating characteristics of the facility,
specifications of energy using systems, operating and maintenance
procedures, and unusual operating constraints.
C. Inventory of major systems consuming energy from affected
boilers and which are under control of the boiler owner or operator.

operation and maintenance procedures and logs, and fuel usage.
E. A list of major energy conservation measures that are within the
facility's control.
F. A list of the energy savings potential of the energy conservation
measures identified.
G. A comprehensive report detailing the ways to improve efficiency,
the cost of specific improvements, benefits, and the time frame for
recouping those investments.
c. Notification and Reporting Requirements- In addition to the notification and
reporting requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA),the
Permittee is required to NOTIFY the Regional Supervisor, DAQ, in WRITING,
of the following:
i. Initial Notification(per 40 CFR 63.9(b) and 40 CFR 63.11225(a)(2)) is
required by January 20, 2014.
ii. Notification of Compliance Status (40 CFR 63.11225(a)(4)) is required by
July 19,2014.
iii. Compliance Report must be prepared by March 1 of every other year (or
every five years depending on the frequency of the tune-up requirements)
starting March 1 the year following the first periodic tune-up, and
submitted upon request. If the source experiences any deviations from the
applicable requirements then the report must be submitted by March 15.
The report must meet the requirements of 40 CFR 63.11225(b)(1-4).
d. Recordkeeping Requirements-In addition to any other recordkeeping
requirements of the EPA,the Permittee shall maintain the following records as
defined under 40 CFR 63.11225(c):
i. Copies of all required notifications.
ii. Maintain the following records to document conformance with the work
practices, emission reduction measures, and management practices:

of fuel during that period. Units sharing a fuel meter may
estimate the fuel use by each unit.
B. A copy the Energy Assessment required by 40 CFR 63.11214(c).
C. Seasonal boilers - For each boiler that meets the definition of
seasonal boiler, you must keep records of days of operation per
year.
D. Records of non-waste determinations per 40 CFR
63.11225(c)(2)(ii).
iii. Malfunction Records - Records of the occurrence and duration of each
malfunction of the boiler, or of the associated air pollution control and
monitoring equipment. Records of actions taken during periods of
malfunction to minimize emissions in accordance with the general duty to
minimize emissions in 40 CFR 63.11205(a), including corrective actions
to restore the malfunctioning boiler, air pollution control, or monitoring
equipment to its normal or usual manner of operation.
iv. Record Retention- You must keep each record for 5 years following the
date of each recorded action.
17. LIMITATION TO AVOID 15A NCAC 2Q .0501 - Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2Q .03 15
"Synthetic Minor Facilities," to avoid the applicability of 15A NCAC 2Q .0501 "Purpose
of Section and Requirement for a TV Permit," as requested by the Permittee, facility-
wide emissions shall be less than the following:
pollutant Emission Limit
i(Tons per consecutive 12-month period);
PM10 100
- 2 S0 --- 10
__-_.._..._..._..__._._....._....------___-.0
_ � i
NOx 100
Co� 100
To comply with this limit, the Permittee shall follow the requirements listed below.
A. PM-10 LIMIT
BOILER HOURS OF OPERATION LIMITS - In addition to the above control device
requirements of 2D .0611, for the fabric filter, cyclones, and multicyclones, in order to
Permit No. 03453R21
Page 11
maintain PM-10 actual emissions less than 100 tons per year, as requested by the
Permittee, the hours of operation of the two wood boilers(ID Nos. ES-1 and ES-3) shall

(a) Boiler ID No. I shall not operate more than 8,736 hours per year.
(b) Boiler ID No. 3 shall not operate more than 4,904 hours per year.
B. S02 LIMIT
To ensure that facility-wide S02 actual emissions are less than 100 tons per year, the
amount of fuel oil consumed in Boiler ID No. 2 shall not produce S02 emissions greater
than 57 ton/yr. The following equation shall be used to determine S02 actual emissions:
ES= [gallons oil in Boiler 2 per year] X [159] X [%Sulfur] /2,000,000, where
ES =the actual S02 emissions in tons per year, and
% Sulfur=the weight percent of sulfur in the fuel.
