The reports were submitted for the continuous emission monitoring system(CEMS)and continuous opacity monitoring system(COMS) operating on electric generating Unit 1 and Unit 2, each consisting of three Boilers with the common stack. DAQ has reviewed the quarterly reports for the period ending June 30,2020. The highest percent excess emissions(%EE)and percent monitor downtime(%MD) are summarized as follows: Emission Unit Pollutant %EE %MD Emission Applicable Violations Regulation CEMCR Unit 1 NOx 0.00% 0.60% 0 §60.44b(a)/60.44b(c),NCAC 2D.0530, Boiler No. SB3,NCAC 2D .0501 c ES-1-1A S02 0.00% 0.60% ----- NCAC 2D .0530, .0516, SB3 ES-1-1B 40.22% 0.56% NCAC 2D .0501(c) ES-1-lC Opacity 0.00% 0.55% ----- 60.43b Common Stack CO 0.00% 0.66% ----- NCAC 2D .0501(c), 0530, SB3, MACT DDDDD Unit 2 NOx 0.00% 0.66% 0 §60.44b(a)/60.44b(c),NCAC 2D.0530, Boiler No. SB3,NCAC 2D .0501 c ES-2-1A S02 0.00% 0.66% 0 NCAC 2D .0530, .0516, SB3 ES-2-1B 61.35% 0.64% NCAC 2D .0501 c ES-2-1C Opacity 0.02% 0.57% ----- §60.43b Common Stack CO 0.00% 0.71% ----- NCAC 2D .0501(c), 0530, SB3, MACT DDDDD NORTH CAROLINADi�Q �/� De ,O.1GI FEW-ftl OLWTY North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality 1 Division of Air Quality 217 West Jones Street 1 1641 Mail Service Center 1 Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1641 919.707.8400 Mr. Francis Hayward September 22,2020 Page 2 A review of the quarterly excess emissions reports(EER) indicated there were no violations of the applicable emissions standards. The other excess emissions noted above are excused pursuant to the applicable regulation.Please note that the S02 excess emissions of 40.22%and 61.35%for the Unit I and Unit 2 are addressed in the Special Order by Consent(SOC 2016-001)signed on June 24, 2016 Please note that each exceedance of the emission control standard unless excused by applicable regulation can be credible evidence of a violation consistent with 40 CFR 60.11(g). Please note that emission limits specified in permit condition 2.1.A.I O.g are on a per boiler basis. Therefore,please submit the EER for CO limit of 720 ppm by volume on a dry basis corrected to 3 percent oxygen 30-day rolling average, on a per boiler basis instead of a common stack. Also,please submit the EER for the opacity operating limit specified in permit condition 2.1.A.I O.h. The CGA(NOx, S02 and CO)result for the Unit 1 and Unit 2, conducted during second quarter were within 15% specification given in 40 CFR 60,Appendix F. The opacity monitor appears to meet the requirements of QA/QC rule(40 CFR Part 60,Appendix F, Procedure 3). Due to COVID-19 restrictions on DAQ staff and our office operations,the mailing of this letter may be delayed. In the meantime, an electronic copy(e-copy)is being provided for your records.
