Protocol for Emissions Testing of Landfill Gas-fired Engine/Generator Set ES-G1
To Be Performed April 12,2018 by GEL Engineering,LLC
Dear Ms. Smith:
The North Carolina Division of Air Quality(DAQ)has reviewed the subject protocol submittal form for
the emissions testing of ES-G1. The proposed testing is acceptable to demonstrate compliance with the
emission standards. The table lists the pollutants,test methods,and applicable emissions limit.
The source to be tested is a GE/Jenbacher Model 420 lean burn landfill gas-fired engine(1,966
horsepower, 17 mmBtu/hr heat input)powering a 1,466 kW output capacity electricity generator. There
are no control devices associated with the generator.
The source is subject to 40 CFR 63 Subpart ZZZZ National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants for Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines(RICE)which requires that the facility comply
with 40 CFR 60 Subpart JJJJ Standards of Performance for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal
Combustion Engines. Permit section 2.1.B.5. also specifies that North Carolina General Statute
GS 62-133.8(g)—SB3 BACT limits apply. SB3 BACT defers to Subpart JJJJ for emission limits.
Subpart JJJJ and permit section 2.1.B.3.b. specify the emission limits.

Prior to sampling,the EPA Method 7E Section 8.1.2 stratification test must be performed to determine the
sampling points. Also VOC means non-methane organic compounds(NMOC)as defined in 40 CFR
51.100(s).
Approval of this protocol does not exempt the tester or the Buncombe County Landfill from the minimum
requirements of the sampling methods and applicable regulations. Any deviations remain subject to
approval by DAQ. The proposed operating rate for testing is at or above 1,350 kW. The maximum
normal operating rate is 1,350 kW. The proposed rate meets the 60 Subpart JJJJ requirement to perform
testing within 10%of peak load(or maximum achievable load). The report must include the test period
process rate and associated monitoring parameters(i.e.engine speed,power output levels,fuel flow,fuel
pressure,air intake data and operating temperatures).
Approval of this sampling protocol does not exempt the tester from the minimum requirements of the
testing methods. Any deviations remain subject to approval by DAQ. If there are questions concerning
this matter,please contact me at(919)707-8415 or greg .og neal(&ncdenr.gov.
Sincerely,
