Emission compliance testing shall be by the procedures of Section .2600, except as may be otherwise
required in Rules .0524, .0912, .1110, .1111, or .1415 of Subchapter 02D. If emissions testing is
required by this permit or the DAQ or if the Permittee submits emissions testing to the DAQ to
demonstrate compliance,the Permittee shall perform such testing in accordance with 15A NCAC 02D
.2600 and 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 Director prior to air pollution testing. Testing protocols are not required to be pre-approved

Air Quality Permit No. 05455T21
Page 43
by the Director 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 shall notify the Director at least 15 days before beginning the test so that the Director
may at his option observe the test.
3. The owner or operator of the source shall arrange for controlling and measuring the production
rates during the period of air testing. The owner or operator of the source shall ensure that the
equipment or process being tested is operated at the production rate that best fulfills the purpose
of the test. The individual conducting the emission test shall describe the procedures used to
obtain accurate process data and include 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:
i. 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.
ii. Prescribe alternate test procedures on an individual basis when he finds that the
alternative method is necessary to secure more reliable test data.
iii. 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.
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 02D .2600 has
precedence over all other tests.
KK. Reopening for Cause [15A NCAC 02Q .0517]
1. A permit shall be reopened and revised under the following circumstances:
a. additional applicable requirements become applicable to a facility with remaining permit term
of three or more years;
b. additional requirements(including excess emission requirements)become applicable to a
source covered by Title N;
c. the Director or EPA finds that the permit contains a material mistake or that inaccurate
statements were made in 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 permit was extended
pursuant to 15A NCAC 02Q .0513(c).
3. Except for the state-enforceable only portion of the permit,the procedures set out in 15A NCAC
02Q .0507, .0521,or.0522 shall be followed to reissue the permit. If the State-enforceable only
portion of the permit is reopened, the procedures in 15A NCAC 02Q .0300 shall be followed. The
proceedings shall affect only those parts of the permit for which cause to reopen exists.
