installation of multiclones (I.D Nos. CD-IA2 and CD-1132), selective non-catalytic reduction
systems (ID Nos. CD-IA3 and CD-I133) and dry sorbent injection systems (ID Nos. CD-iA4
and CD-1134), installation of aqueous ammonia storage tank (ID No. ES-15), and modifications
of flyash silo (ID No. ES-3) and bagfilter (ID No. CD-3), on or before 12 months after
commencing operation.
As the designated responsible official it is your responsibility to review, understand, and
abide by all of the terms and conditions of the attached permit. It is also your responsibility to

when averaged over a six-minute period. However, six-minute averaging periods may exceed 20 percent
not more than once in any hour and not more than four times in any 24-hour period. In no event shall the
six-minute average exceed 87 percent opacity. [15A NCAC 2D .0521(d)]

ii. The percent of excess emissions (defined as the percentage of monitored operating time in a calendar
quarter above the opacity limit) shall not exceed 0.8 percent of the total operating ]tours. If a source
operates less than 500 hours during a calendar quarter, the percent of excess emissions shall be
calculated by including hours operated immediately previous to this quarter until 500 operational hours

follow the procedures outlined below:
1. The owner or operator of the source shall arrange for air emission testing protocols to be provided to the

prior to air pollution testing. The Director shall review air emission testing protocols for pre-approval prior
to testing if requested by the owner or operator at least 45 days before conducting the test.
2. Any person proposing to conduct an emissions test to demonstrate compliance with an applicable standard

Air Quality Permit No. 05455T IS
Page 36
shall notify the Director at least 15 days before beginning the test so that the Director may at his option
observe the test.

in the test report the average 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 make 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 detennine compliance of
permitted emission sources or pollutants.
b. The Director may authorize the Division of Air Quality to conduct independent tests of any source
subject to a rule in this Subchapter to determine the compliance status of that source or to verify any
test data submitted relating to that source. Any test conducted by the Division of Air Quality using the
appropriate testing procedures described in Section 213 .2600 has precedence over all other tests.

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 Pennittee 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.
