Article I. Project Summary
W. E. Partners II, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wellons Energy Solutions, LLC, which
maintains its primary office at 1836 Eastchester Drive, Suite 108, High Point, North Carolina.
Wellons Energy is a biomass cogeneration project developer, focusing on the design, build,
installation and operation of small, biomass cogeneration facilities for the production of high
pressure steam and electricity. The primary focus on our business model is to partner with North
Carolina based manufacturers that are utilizing fossil fuels for the generation of high pressure,
saturated steam. With the partnership between Wellons Energy and our customers, we are able to
provide a long-term renewable energy solution that is both economically and environmentally
favorable for all stakeholders.
Wellons Energy is majority owned by Wellons Inc.,a Vancouver, Washington based biomass boiler
manufacturer. Wellons has been a leader in providing biomass steam systems since 1965 and has an
impeccable track record of success in deploying biomass steam plants throughout North America
and Europe. In addition to the steam generation-only projects, 400 installations world-wide,
Wellons has successfully installed more than 40 cogeneration facilities and brings a long record of
success installing power generation equipment.
The proposed project will be located adjacent to the Perdue Farms chicken processing and rendering
facility in Lewiston Woodville, NC. The biomass facility will provide high pressure, saturated
steam to the rending operation, offsetting the use of fossil fuels, and provide electricity to Dominion
Power via a Power Purchase Agreement. The facility would be comprised of three (3), 600 HP
water-cooled, rotary grate biomass hybrid boilers rated at (350 psi design) 325 PSIG operating
pressure and one (1) steam turbine gen-set for cogeneration. The turbine inlet conditions will utilize
325 PSI saturated steam being directed to the steam turbine inlet, with the steam exhaust at 125
PSIG for distribution to Perdue.
The proposed facility will also incorporate biomass receiving and storage facilities, via a sheltered,
below grade, concrete bunker with reclaimer, and the necessary emissions control equipment. The
project will also include all buildings and accompanying ancillary support equipment.
The air permit is being submitted with a voluntary fuel input restriction of 58,000 tons per year. On
a 100% utilization basis, the anticipated yearly green biomass fuel input is calculated as 88,300 tons
per year. With the anticipated 65%maximum utilization rate,the yearly facility wide emissions for
criteria pollutants are maintained at less than 100 tons on an annual basis. Therefore, W.E. Partners
is requesting that the facility be permitted as a synthetic minor source.

RE: BACT Analysis for Proposed W.E. Partners 11, LLC Biomass Cogeneration at Lewiston,NC.
Dear Mr. Fisher,
Thank you again for your continued assistance in the process of securing a Construction and Operating
permit for the proposed Biomass Cogeneration Facility to be constructed at 3539 Governors Road, Lewiston
Woodville,North Carolina.
As we discussed, the project, due to the small size and scope, will be classified as an Area Source and is not
subject to Potential for Significant Deterioration (PSD) site or the hazardous air pollutants (HAP) program
under Title 1 of the Clean Air Act.
However, in subsequent conversations, we shared with you that it is our intent to participate in the North
Carolina Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard and register our facility with the North Carolina Utility
Commission. By registering with the North Carolina Utility Commission, the Renewable Energy Credits
(RECs)generated by the proposed facility will be qualified for sale to a North Carolina based utility. Based
on our discussion, we must complete a Best Available Control Technology analysis per the statute governing
the North Carolina Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard.
With this requirement, please find enclosed our completed BACT analysis for the proposed facility.
If I can be of further assistance,please do not hesitate to call.
Regards,
Wellons Energy Solutions, LLC

1. Project Description
W.E. Partners II, LLC, a North Carolina based limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary
of Wellons Energy Solutions, LLC, has submitted an air permit application to the North Carolina
Division of Air Quality (NCDAQ) for the green field installation of three (3) 29.4 MMBtu/hr biomass
fired boilers to be located at 3539 Governors Road, Lewiston Woodville, North Carolina. Lewiston is
located in Bertie, County. The project is a biomass cogeneration facility and as such, will provide
saturated steam to the adjacent facility, which is owned by Perdue Inc., and provide electricity to
Dominion Power. The facility will be a self qualified small generation facility and will be certified with
the North Carolina Utility Commission as a new Renewable Energy Facility.
As indicated above, it is the desire of W.E. Partners II, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Wellons
Energy Solutions, LLC, to participate, as a qualified source of Renewable Energy Credits, in the North
Carolina Renewable Energy Portfolio program. This program, established in 2007 by the North Carolina
legislature, was created under Senate Bill #3, which requires utilities in North Carolina with a minimum
number of customers, to provide for an escalating percentage of power generation to be from renewable
resources. The legislation contains a requirement that certain new biomass combustion processes, which
otherwise would not be subject to Best Available Control Technology(BACT)of the Federal Prevention
of Significant Deterioration(PSD)program, would be subject to a North Carolina(state)BACT analysis
as a"new renewable energy facility" delivering power to an electric power supplier. This requirement is
also known as the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard(REPS).
2. Regulatory Summary for the Proposed Facility
2.L Three (3) unadulterated wood-fired boilers (29.4 million Btu per hour maximum heat input,
each)—the following is a list of all air quality regulations applicable to the boiler:
2.2. 2D.0504(e)"Particulate from Wood Burning Indirect Heat Exchangers"
This requires that the total maximum heat inputs of all wood burning indirect heat exchanges at the
facility to be used in determining the allowable emission limit for each unit. Therefore regulation
applies to this wood burning indirect heat exchanger. The particulate matter emissions are, for each
proposed biomass boiler, is limited to 0.38 pounds per hour. This determination is based on the
equation E= 1.1698 -0z2so
eq Q where E is the allowable emission limit for particulate matter in pounds
per million Btu and Q is the maximum heat input in million Btu per hour, or 88.2 MMBtu (3 x 29.4
MMBtu/hr each).
2.3. "New Source Performance Standard"—NSPS Subpart Dc
This regulation, NSPS Subpart Dc will apply to the new proposed facility but there are no limits or
monitoring requirements as each of the proposed units fall below the threshold of 30MMBtu/hr.
Standard notifications of construction and start-up, in conjunction with expected permit requirement
of annual fuel usage is expected.
2.4. "Prevention of Significant Deterioration" This regulation is not applicable to the proposed
facility. Under the PSD requirements, all new or modified major stationary sources of air
pollutants regulated under the Clean Air Act (CAA) must undergo a preconstruction review
consistent with Section 165 of the Act prior to "begin[ning] actual construction." A "major
stationary source" is defined as any one of 28 named source categories which has the potential to
321Page
emit 100 tons per year(TPY)or more, or any other stationary source which has the potential to emit
250 TPY or more, of any pollutant regulated under the CAA. W.E. Partners'proposed facility is not
one of the listed source categories with a 100 ton per year threshold; therefore, the major source
threshold for the proposed facility is 250 tpy of any regulated pollutant and is therefore not subject
to PSD review. See 40 CFR 51.166(b)(23)
2.5. "Nonattainment New Source Review(NNSR)
The proposed plant will be located in the city of Lewiston, Bertie County, North Carolina. This area
is classified as attainment with respect to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards(NAAQS) for
particulate, sulfur dioxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and lead. Because the area is
classified as attainment for all pollutants, no pollutants are subject to nonattainment review. This
area is considered a Class II area with allowable PSD increments for PM-10, SOz, and NOx
emissions.
3. Criteria Pollutants
As we have discussed, based on the individual boiler size of 29.4 MMBtu/hr and the projected emissions
profile with a voluntary fuel input limitation of 58,000 tons per year (65% utilization rate), it is
anticipated that the facility will be classified as a synthetic minor by the NCDAQ. As such, per our
original permit application,the following criteria pollutants were summarized in Form B:
Source of Criteria Pollutant Individual
Emission Boiler
Source of Potential After Potential After
Emission Factor Controls lb/MMBtu Controls
CO Manu. Data 0.380 48.92
NOx Manu. Data 0.300 38.72
VOC AP-42 0.017 2.19
S02 AP-42 0.025 3.22
PM Mann. Data 0.350 48.92
PM,o Manu. Data 0.380 45.02
As noted above, no single criteria pollutant (CO, NOx, PM, S02 and VOC) for each boiler and as a
whole on a facility wide basis, emissions would not subject the facility to a PSD Review.
4. Best Available Control Technology Determination
Any major stationary source or major modification subject to PSD must conduct an analysis to ensure the
use of"Best Available Control Technology"(BACT). As discussed earlier,this facility, due to the small
emissions, does not qualify as a PSD, Title V or Major Facility for HAPs. However, a North Carolina
mandated BACT analysis must be performed to allow the facility to participate in the North Carolina
Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard and to qualify our Renewable Energy Credits with the North
Carolina Utilities Commission.
BACT is defined in the Clean Air Act as an emissions limit based on the maximum degree of emissions
i
reduction for each pollutant... which the permitting authority determines, on a case by case basis, taking
into account energy, environmental and economic impacts and other costs, is achievable for such facility
through the application of production processes and available methods, systems and techniques... Four
key aspects of the definition that are noteworthy;
331Page
• BACT takes into account various costs associated with implementing pollution controls:
economic, environmental(air, water and solid waste), energy and other impacts.
• BACT includes and, in fact stresses, "production processes"along with add-on controls
• BACT is intended to be a case-by-case evaluation, implying individual case evaluations and
decisions,not rigid,pre-set guidelines.
The top-down BACT approach starts with the most stringent(or top)technology that has been applied to the
same unit at other similar emission source types and provides a basis for rejecting the technology in favor of
the next most stringent technology or proposing it as BACT.
Step 1
The first step is to define the spectrum of process and/or add on-control alternatives potentially applicable to
the subject emissions units. The following categories of technologies are addressed in identifying candidate
control alternatives:
• Demonstrated add-on control technologies applied to the same emissions unit at other similar source
types;
• Add-on controls not demonstrated for the source category in question but transferred from other
source categories with similar emission stream characteristics;
• Process controls such as combustion or alternate production processes;
• Add-on control devices serving multiple emission units in parallel;
• Equipment or work practices, especially for fugitive or area emission sources in this process.
Step 2
The second step in the top-down approach is to evaluate the technical feasibility of the alternative identified
in the first step and to reject those that can be demonstrated as infeasible based on an engineering evaluation
or on chemical or physical principles. The following criteria were considered in determining technical
feasibility; previous commercial-scale demonstration, precedents based on permits, requirements for similar
sources and technology transfer.
Step 3
The third step is an assessment and documents of the emission limit that is achievable with each of the
technically feasible alternative considering the specific operating constraints of the emission units
undergoing review. After determining what control efficiency is achievable with each alternative, the
alternatives will be ranked into an emissions control ranking from the most to least stringent.
Step 4
The fourth step is to evaluate the costleconomic, environmental and energy impacts of the top or most
stringent alternative. To reject the top alternative, it must be demonstrated that this control alternative is
infeasible based on the impacts analysis results. If a control technology is determined to be technically
infeasible or infeasible based on high cost effectiveness or to cause adverse energy or environmental impacts,
the control is rejected as BACT and the impact analysis is performed on the next most stringent control
alternative. In analyzing economic cost effectiveness, the annualized control cost (in dollars per ton of
emissions removed)was compared with the commonly accepted values for cost effective emissions controls.
Step 5
The final step in the analysis is the consideration of toxic pollutant impacts on the control alternative choice.
Toxics concerns are usually important only if an adverse toxic emissions impact results from the selected
alternative. As in step 4, if an adverse toxic emissions impact is determined, the alternative is rejected in
favor of the next most stringent alternative.

EPA RACT/BACT/LAER Database Review
As required, a review of the EPA RACT/BACT/LAER database was completed for "packaged"
(boiler/furnace units which are factory assembled and transported for installation and are typically less
than 29.4MMBtu heat input) biomass boilers. As indicated below, our review of the RBLC of the
process type, 12.120, Industrial Size Boilers/Furnaces less than 100 MMBtu's and 13.120, Commercial
and Institutional Biomass boilers less than 100 MMBtu's, provided 5 examples of units of 30 MMBtu or
less.

5. BACT Analysis
5.1. NOx
The proposed biomass generation facility will fire green wood or bark,resulting in a proposed emissions
limit, per boiler, of 8.84 lbs/hr or 0.3 lb/MMBtu, assuming a maximum heat input of 29.4 MMBtu. This
results in an expected emissions rate of 38.72 tons per year.
The formation of NOx is determined by the interaction of chemical and physical processes occurring
with the flame zone of the furnace of the proposed boiler. There are two principal forms of NOx
designated as "thermal' NOx and "fuel" NOx. Thermal NOx formation is the result of oxidation of
atmospheric nitrogen contained in the inlet gas in the high-temperature, post flame region of the
combustion zone. The major factors influencing thermal NOx formation are temperature, concentrations
of combustion gases (primarily nitrogen and oxygen) in the inlet air and residence time within the
combustion zone. Fuel NOx is formed by the oxidation of fuel-bound nitrogen. NOx formation can be
controlled by adjusting the combustion process and/or installing post combustion controls.
5.1.1.Control Technologies
Potential applicable NOx control technologies which were considered:
• Regenerative Selective Catalytic Reduction(RSCR)
• Selective Catalytic Reduction(SCR)and
• Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction(SNCR).
• Staged Combustion
Regenerative Selective Catalytic Reduction: The RSCR system which was evaluated reheats
the exhaust flue gas downstream of the PM Control device to approximately 600°F, prior to
passing the exhaust through the SCR modules. The system requires the flue gas to be very clean,
have a high temperature and low sulfur content.
Selective Catalytic Reduction: Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is a post combustion NO,,
add-on control device that is placed in the flue gas stream following the boiler. SCR involves the
injection of ammonia (NH3) over a catalyst in the presence of oxygen. On the catalyst surface,
the ammonia decomposes into NH2 free radicals, reacts with NOx molecules, and reduces to
nitrogen and water.
Selective Non Catalytic Reduction (SNCR): SNCR describes a process in which NO, is
reduced to molecular nitrogen (N2) and water (H20) by injecting an ammonia or urea
(CO(NH2)2) spray into the post-combustion area of the unit. Typically, injection nozzles are
located in the upper area of the boiler. Once injected, the urea or ammonia decomposes into NH3
or N112 free radicals, reacts with NO,molecules, and reduces to nitrogen and water.
Staged Combustion: Staged combustion is a combustion unit design/operational technique that
allows for the reduction of thermal and rapid NOx formation. This is achieved by modifying the
primary combustion zone stoichiometry and air/fuel ratio. The combustion air is provided in
staged manner to control the bum rate. This occurs due to the slower burning of the fuel pile,
resulting in pyrolysis products allowed to oxidize in lower temperature zones of the combustion
unit furnace, thus reducing the high instantaneous temperatures at the fuel bed responsible for
NOx formation. Overfire air (OFA) is a form of staged combustion where the primary
combustion uses a fuel-rich mixture to complete combustion.
361 P a a e
5.1.2.Eliminate Technically Infeasible Options
The Regenerative Selective Catalytic Reduction typically requires the flue gas to be reheated
with either natural gas or No.2 fuel oil duct burners prior to entering the catalyst. Catalyst life
if typically two years and electrical costs for the system tend to be high given the need for an
additional ID fan. Reheating the air stream would be costly and would have additional
detrimental environmental impacts, including the generation of additional NOx emissions, the
pollutant for which the RSCR would be installed to reduce. Based on this, RSCR is considered
technically infeasible for NO,control with the proposed biomass boiler system.
Although Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is a potential control technology in this
analysis, the use of such a system is not technically feasible for the biomass fired boiler
exhaust based on the following;
• The high particulate loading associated with the proper temperature range in the energy
system reduces the number of active catalyst sites available for the reaction to occur
and reduces the NO.removal efficiency(i.e. blinds the catalyst).
• The alkalinity of the wood ash can contaminate the catalyst and significantly reduce
the NO,,removal efficiency.
• Catalyst replacement and disposal.
Again, as discussed early, the SCR could be used downstream of the particulate control device
but the stream would require reheating to achieve the proper temperature. It is counter-intuitive
to require reheating of a combustion stream (requiring the use of additional energy and fuel
consumption) which results in additional combustion related emissions to reduce combustion
related emissions from the biomass boiler. Therefore the use of SCR on the proposed biomass
boiler is not technically feasible and will not be considered further in this analysis.
Selective Non Catalytic Reduction is a proven NOx reduction technology in large, field erected
boilers with sufficient area in the upper, post combustion area of the steam vessel for the
placement of the injection nozzles. In discussions with the manufacturer of the proposed boiler,
the manufacturer has confirmed that this technology has not been utilized in the small,
"packaged" boiler design. In the "package" boiler design, the water-tube section of the boiler
sits directly above the furnace of a distance of less than 8 feet. Any introduction of ammonia
or urea in the space would take place directly into the combustion zone, thereby eliminating its
effectiveness. Therefore, due to the biomass boiler/furnace design, SNCR is not technically
feasible and will not be considered further.
5.1.3.Rank Remaining Control Technologies for Effectiveness
Staged Combustion with the proposed biomass package boiler/furnace in combination with
Good Combustion Practices.
5.1.4.Evaluate Most Effective Control Option(Impacts Analysis)
The proposed Staged Combustion, in combination with Good Combustion Practices is
considered sufficient for the purposes of BACT and results in a proposed NOx emissions rate
of 0.3 lb/11lMBtu.
5.1.5.Select BACT
The selected method of Staged Combustion and Good Combustion Practices for BACT
resulting in a proposed emissions rate of 0.30 lb/MMBtu was compared to the data for similar
installations. Review of the data shows limits ranging from 0.301b/MMBtu to 0.68 lb/MMBtu.
The proposed limit is representative of similar systems operating with spreader stoker furnaces
operating without controls and is based on the manufacturers guaranteed level of performance.

5.2. Particulate Matter(TSP/PM1o)
Particulate Matter (TSP/PM10) is emitted as both a filterable and condensable particulate matter.
Filterable PM dominates the particulate emissions and is the focus of this evaluation process.
Condensable emissions from wood combustion are believed to be very low. The AP42 factor for
condensable PM is 0.0171b/MMBtu compared to a value of 0.301b/MMBtu for filterable PM from
wood combustion(the 0.30 measurement is downstream of a mechanical dust collector for primary
PM control).

5.2.1.Control Technologies
The primary control technologies available include the;
• Baghouse
• Electrostatic Precipitator(ESP)
• Multi-clone Mechanical Collector
Baghouse: A fabric filtration device, or baghouse, consists of a number of filtering elements
(bags) along with a pneumatic bag cleaning system contained in a main shell structure
incorporating dust hoppers. Fabric filters use fabric bags as filters to collect particulate matter.
The particulate-laden gas enters a fabric filter compartment and passes through a layer of
particulate and filter bags. The collected particulate forms a cake on the outer layer of the bag,
which enhances the bag's filtration efficiency. However, excessive caking will increase the
pressure drop across the filter and reduces its efficiency.
The particulate removal efficiency of the filter is dependent upon a variety of particle and
operational characteristics. Particle characteristics include size distribution and cohesion as
well as electrical resistivity. Operational parameters that effect efficiency include air-to- cloth
ratios, pressure losses, cleaning sequence and interval as well as pneumatic intensity of the
cleaning cycle. In addition, collection efficiency can be affected by fabric properties such as
structure of the fabric, composition of the fibers and material of construction.
Electrostatic Precipitator: Electrostatic precipitators (ESP's) remove particles from a gas
stream through the use of electrical force. Discharge electrodes apply a negative charge to
particles passing through a strong electrical field. These charged particles then migrate to a
collecting electrode having an opposite, or positive, charge. Collected particles are removed
from the collecting electrodes by periodic mechanical rapping.
Multiple Cone Particulate Collector: A whirling motion is imparted to the gas entering a
cyclonic collector. This action generates centrifugal force that concentrates particles of
entrained dust at the interior walls of the collecting tubes. The particles then fall and are
discharged from the bottom of the tube. Clean gas exits through the outlet at the collecting
tubes vertical centre line. Multiple-cyclone separators are also known as multi-clones, consist
381Page
of a number of small-diameter cyclones, operating in parallel and having a common gas inlet
and outlet. Multi-clones operate on the same principle as cyclones--creating a main downward
vortex and an ascending inner vortex.
Multi-clones are more efficient than single cyclones because they are longer and smaller in
diameter. The longer length provides longer residence time while the smaller diameter creates
greater centrifugal force. These two factors result in better separation of dust particulates.
5.2.2.Eliminate Technically Infeasible Options
All three technologies are viable technologies. However, based on experience of Wellons, the
manufacturer of the proposed package boiler unit, we have chosen to eliminate the baghouse
for particulate control for the proposed biomass boiler. In discussions with Wellons
management, the firm has cited three instances where a customer attempted to utilize a
baghouse for particulate control. In each instance, the customer experienced excessively high
downtime and costs associated with the bags catching fire or the excessive replacement
requirements due to holes being burned in the bags. Therefore, a baghouse option for the
biomass installation was not considered further.
5.2.3.Rank Remaining Control Technologies for Effectiveness
Current regulation for a wood burning heat exchanger particulate emissions is provided by the
formula as follows. The particulate matter emissions are limited to 0.47 Lb/Hr based on the
equation E= 1.1698 Q-0.2230 where E is the allowable emission limit for particulate matter in
pounds per million Btu and Q is the maximum heat input in million Btu per hour, or 58.8
MMBtu/hr.
There are two technically feasible PM control technologies for the proposed biomass-fired
boiler; Electrostatic Precipitator and Multiple Cone Particulate Collector. An electrostatic
Precipitator was evaluated with a guaranteed emissions level of 0.03 LB/MMBtu, or 0.882
Lb/Hr,when used in conjunction with a Multi-cone Particulate Collector.
A single Multiple Cone Particulate Collector, as proposed, would provide for a particulate
control of 0.38 LB/MMBtu, or 11.17 Lb/Hr.
5.2.4.Evaluate Most Effective Control Option (Impacts Analysis)
Economic Impacts:
Electrostatic precipitators are a proven means to substantially reduce the particulate emissions
of a biomass boiler. However, the application of ESPs has not been a viable option for small,
package biomass boilers, based on incremental capital cost associated with the project. Due to
the relatively small steam production of each unit, 20,700 pounds, the incremental cost of
incorporating this technology results in an excessively high cost per ton of Particulate Matter
which is cost prohibitive.
As depicted in Table B, a two-field ESP, one for each proposed biomass package boiler unit,
has an estimated installed cost$1,266,244 and an indirect costs of$432,191, for an incremental
Total Capital Investment of $1,698,435. An analysis is then completed for the direct and
indirect annual costs,which also incorporates overhead and return on capital.
391Page
As proposed, the units are equipped with a primary means of Particulate Removal, which is
achieved with a Multi-clone Precipitator. The proposed emissions control device will result in
a BACT emissions of 0.38 Lb/MMBtu or 11.17 Lb/Hr.
By installing an ESP on each proposed biomass boiler unit, the anticipated emissions rate is
reduced to 0.03 lb/MMBtu. We then evaluate the anticipated incremental costs to achieve the
lower emission rate, as shown below, which indicates that the incremental cost per ton of PM
reduction is estimated to be $6,510 per ton. These costs are considered cost prohibitive and,
therefore, an electrostatic precipitator is eliminated from further consideration.

5.3. Sulfur Dioxide(S02)
Sulfur dioxide is formed due to the oxidation of the fuel bound sulfur. Wood ash provides
substantial emissions control as S02 reacts with the alkaline wood ash. A ' 'uual-s
abatement is feasible to further reduce emissions. No data was fo 21 P CElat�irye d,
to S02 for small,package boiler systems.
5.3.1.Control Technologies MT _ 5 2010
Wet Scrubber (Venturi Scrubber): A venturi scrubber is one a wet
remove SO2. Flue gas enters the scrubber vertically after p sing o 0 the
scrubber, an alkaline solution such as sodium hydroxide absorb SO e
S02 reacts with the sodium hydroxide and is removed in a solution as a liquid waste.
Additional scrubbing solution is added to the recirculating scrubber solution to compensate for
the quantity that reacts with S02 and reacted scrubbing liquor is discharges to a wastewater
treatment as"blowdown".
Dry Sorbent Injection: In a dry sorbent injection system, a reagent such as Trona (sodium
sesquircarbonate)can be injected in the hot flue gas, where it reacts with SO2, removing it from
the gas stream. The reacted sorbent is removed as particulate by the downstream particulate
matter control system. The sorbent particles must be ground extremely fine in order to
maximize the surface area of the particles for reaction and an additional "run" of ductwork
must be added to the system to allow for adequate residence time for reaction between the
sorbent and S02.
5.3.2.Eliminate Technically Infeasible Options
Both technologies are feasible.
5.3.3.Rank Remaining Control Technologies for Effectiveness
There are two technically feasible S02 control technologies for the biomass-fired boilers,
Venturi Scrubber and Dry Sorbent Injection. The scrubber is the most stringent level of control,
achieving a level of 0.005 lb/MMBtu. Sorbent injection can achieve a level of 0.00625
lb/MMBtu. Per our review of the RBLC database,no data was found on small, package boiler
systems similar to our proposed installation.

Economic Impacts:
A detailed cost evaluation of a venture scrubber is included in Table C. As shown below, the
incremental cost effectiveness of approximately $126,000 per ton is considered cost prohibitive
and the venturi scrubber is therefore eliminated from further consideration in the BACT

4211> 1 C
5.4. Carbon Monoxide(CO)and Volatile Organic Compounds(VOC)
Carbon monoxide and VOC emissions result due to imperfect combustion of carbonaceous material
in the fuel. CO is a by-product of the combustion process in which carbon is not fully oxidized to
CO2. Likewise, VOC is emitted when the carbonaceous matter in the fuel is not converted to CO2
or CO. Control of both species involves forcing the oxidation of carbon to CO2.
5.4.1.Control Technologies
There are a variety of oxidation techniques that are used in various process industries.
However, only the following control technologies were considered in the evaluation:
• Regenerative Catalytic Oxidation(RCO)
• Good combustion practices.
Regenerative Catalytic Oxidation: Regenerative catalytic oxidation (RCO) technology is
widely used in the reduction of VOC emissions, and currently, to reduce CO emissions. It is
the only oxidation technology evaluated because it requires only moderate reheating to a
minimum temperature of 450 degrees F. Furthermore, RCO's can achieve a high thermal
efficiency of 95%because it utilizes a ceramic bed to recapture the heat of the stream exiting
the combustion zone. Particulate control must be placed upstream of the RCO. Even with
highly efficient TSP/PM 10 control, there is the risk of the catalyst blinding/poisoning and the
catalyst life guarantees are relatively short.
Good Combustion Practices: Since CO and VOC emissions result from imperfect
combustion of carbonaceous fuel, emissions are effectively minimized through proper boiler
design and good combustion practices (GCP), including operation at sufficiently high
combustion temperatures, adequate residence time, adequate excess air and adequate
turbulence, which results in through mixing and availability of 02 to allow for nearly complete
conversion of CO and VOC to CO2 and water.
5.4.2.Eliminate Technically Infeasible Options
As indicated previously, there are a variety of combustion techniques that can be used to
control CO and VOC's. However, many of the following technologies are not practical for
post-combustion control given the exhaust stream characteristics of biomass fired boilers.
• Flares,
• Recouperative Thermal Oxidation,
• Regenerative Thermal Oxidation,
• Non-Regenerative Catalytic Oxidation.
The first three options have been deemed to be impractical due to high operating costs. As each
technology involves reheating the exhaust stream to high combustion temperatures and/or are
thermally inefficient,this results in an excessively high operating cost.
In evaluating the use of Regenerative Catalytic Oxidization, it is our concern that due to the
high particulate level which will pass over the catalyst, the expected life of the unit will be
exceptionally short and problematic, resulting in excessive downtime and cost. Therefore, the
Non-regenerative Catalytic Oxidation technology is eliminated as a viable BACT
consideration.

5.4.3.Rank Remaining Control Technologies for Effectiveness
Based on our review, there appears to be two practical, technically feasible CO/VOC control
technologies available for biomass fired boilers; RCO and GCP. The most stringent control
option for CO is 0.10 MMBtu, achieved with RCO. Per our review of the RBLC data for small
boilers of similar size,we found three examples, with CO limits ranging from 2.2 lb/MMBtu to
0.3 lb/MMBtu. All small biomass boilers cited in the RBLC utilize Good Combustion
Practices as the control technology.
The most stringent control option is assumed to be 0.0085 lb/MMBtu, which is also achieved
with and ESP/RCO combination. GCP, as proposed,provides a VOC level of 0.017 lb/MMBtu.
All small biomass boilers in the RBLC utilize Good Combustion Practices as the control
technology.
5.4.4.Evaluate Most Effective Control Option (Impacts Analysis)
Economic Impact RCO
As indicated earlier, the installation of the RCO WILL require the installation of an upstream
particulate control device, in addition to the proposed multi-clone, to remove particulate
loading prior to the air stream crossing the ceramic bed. As an ESP has been reviewed and
determined to be financially incompatible, the analysis of adding the RCO was completed
using assuming an additional cost of an ESP and RCO installation.
CO Control
A detailed cost evaluation of an ESP and RCO option is included in Tables A & E for CO
control. As shown below, the incremental cost effectiveness of approximately $13,000 is
considered cost prohibitive and the ESP/RCO option for CO control is therefore eliminated
from further consideration in the BACT evaluation

Incremental CO emissions Improvement 36.06 tons/yr
Per Table 8,Incremental Total Annual costs to Achieve Emission Reduction $293,407 per year.
Per Table E,Incremental Total Annual costs to Achieve Emission Reduction $163,000 per year.
Incremental cost per ton of Particulate Emissions $12,658 per ton

VOC Control
A detailed cost evaluation of an ESP and RCO option is included in Table E for CO control. As
shown below, the incremental cost effectiveness of approximately $416,000 is considered cost
prohibitive and the ESP/RCO option for VOC control is therefore eliminated from further
consideration in the BACT evaluation
Base Line Emissions with GCP Emissions with ESP/RCO,per Unit

Incremental VOC emissions Improvement 1.09 tons/yr
Per Table B,Incremental Total Annual costs to Achieve Emission Reduction $293,407 per year.
Per Table E,Incremental Total Annual costs to Achieve Emission Reduction $163,000 per year.
Incremental cost per ton of Particulate Emissions $416,977 per ton
Economic Impact: GCP
No adverse economic, energy or environmental impacts are associated with Good Combustion
Practices as proposed.
5.4.5. Select BA CT
C
The proposed project will use proper boiler design and Good Combustion Practices to
minimize CO and VOC emissions. GCP results in a proposed emissions rate of 11.17 lb/hr or
.38 lb/MMBtu of CO and 0.5 lb/hr or 0.017 lb/MMBtu for VOC.

5.5. Mercury
Mercury(Hg)is a trace element in biomass. When biomass is burned, mercury exits the boiler
at extremely low concentrations, on the order of parts per billion. The proposed biomass fuels
have inherently low mercury concentrations. Based the upon available information, the only
mercury control used on large, field erected biomass-fueled boilers are the use of low mercury
containing biomass fuels combined with the use of PM control systems, such as an ESP or
baghouse.
Per the EPA AP-42, Mercury from biomass is projected to be 0.0000035 lb/MMBtu, which
implies a uncontrolled pound per day, facility wide emissions rate of 0.007409 lbs, using three,
29.4 MMBtu package boilers(29.4 MMBtu/Hr* 3 units*24 hours* 0.0000035 lb/MMBtu)
5.5.1.Control Technologies
• Secondary PM control device such an a bag house
• Secondary PM control device such as an Electrostatic Precipitator(ESP)
• Activated Carbon Injection System
• Utilize low mercury containing biomass fuels
5.5.2.Eliminate Technically Infeasible Options
As described above, two of the technologies, bag house and ESP, have been rejected as viable
control technologies in the control of particulates due to technical (bag house and potential for
fires)and ESP,which was rejected based on a financial justification.
Based on the available data, we concluded that the MACT floor for mercury emissions from
this biomass fueled boiler is the use of biomass fuels and, where financially and technically
feasible, a secondary PM Control device. In the beyond the floor mercury MACT analysis, we
identified the use of activated carbon injection as a feasible mercury control. While we are not
aware of the use of activated carbon injection on any biomass-fueled boiler, based on the
current coal-fired utility boiler and municipal waste combustor experience, activated carbon
injection is a technically feasible mercury control alternative for this biomass-fueled boiler.
However, because the concentration of mercury in biomass is expected to be much lower than
in coal or municipal solid waste, the use of activated carbon injection will have limited ability
to control mercury. Based on this review and the fact that activated carbon injection has not
been demonstrated on similar biomass-fueled boilers, we have concluded that the level of
mercury emissions with activated carbon injection will be the same as the level of control when
firing low mercury containing biomass.
Further, the use of activated carbon injection may also adversely impact the potential reuse of
the boiler flyash which could have substantial environmental impacts and additional economic
costs.
5.5.3.Rank Remaining Control Technologies for Effectiveness
With the previous elimination of a secondary control device and carbon injection system, the
use of low mercury containing biomass fuels is proposed as BACT.
461Page
5.5.4.Evaluate Most Effective Control Option (Impacts Analysis)
No adverse economic, energy or environmental impacts are associated with combustion of low
mercury containing biomass fuels as proposed.
5.5.5. Select BACT
Based on this analysis, we have concluded that the case-by-case MACT for the control of
mercury emissions from this biomass-fueled boiler is the use of low mercury containing
biomass fuels. Based on this analysis, we propose a case by-case MACT emission limit for
mercury emissions from this boiler of 3.50E-06 pounds per million Btu of heat input.

Article IV. Summary Report, Toxic Modeling Results
Wellons Energy Solutions (Wellons) is proposing to install and operate three biomass-fired boilers
to be located at the existing Perdue Farms Lewiston Plant in Lewiston, North Carolina (Lewiston
site). The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR)Division
of Air Quality (DAQ) removed the exemption from preparing a toxics modeling demonstration for
combustion sources on July 10, 2010. Therefore, to obtain an air quality permit for the proposed
biomass-fired boilers, a toxics demonstration must be performed for all toxic air contaminants
which exceed their Toxic Pollutant Emission Rates (TPERS). For those exceeding their respective
TPERS, the facility was required to conduct modeling of toxic air pollutant (TAP) emissions from
the proposed boilers to demonstrate compliance with acceptable ambient levels (AALs) at the
Lewiston site.
To complete the necessary modeling, Wellons engaged Trinity Consulting to provide assistance in
completing the necessary modeling activities. A complete report, including summary results, is
attached in Article VII.
Although detailed in Article VII, the modeling demonstrated that the ambient concentrations
resulting from the emissions of TAPS from the proposed boilers do not exceed the AALs contained
in Chapter 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code(NCAC) Section 2D .1100.

The proposed biomass cogeneration facility will be constructed adjacent to the Perdue Agribusiness site in
Lewiston, North Carolina. W.E. Partners II, LLC, a subsidiary of Wellons Energy Solutions, LLC, will be
the operator of the facility.
We have attempted to address the 10 questions that you have provided in determination of a solid waste fuel
determination. Per our understanding, the questions will be used to assist in the determination as to whether
the un-adulterated biomass material that will be used as our primary boiler fuel should be classified as a
"solid waste"material.
We hope that you concur that our biomass feedstock is not a "solid waste". The biomass material is a
product that has not been discarded and has positive economic value over and above the processing and
transportation costs. In addition, the material is not stored and is generally transported to our facility within
24 hours of the chipping process. In addition, we believe that our proposed biomass cogeneration facility is
supportive of both Federal and State incentives designed to spur the economic development of renewable
energy projects in the United States.
Should you have additional questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate in contacting
me at the number above.

2) Narrative description of the process by which the fuel is developed, beginning with the
virgin material.
The proposed system will be capable of burning any biomass material with moisture
contents of between 10 and 50%. Sources of biomass material that will be consumed will be
primary sourced from in-woods chipping operations as well as existing, site-based mill
operations.
During the logging process, a tree is cut and a skidder will transport several un-trimmed
trees to the central deck for processing. The first process is that the tree is de-limbed and cut
to size. This step separates the biomass feedstock into two revenue streams; biomass boiler
fuel and the lumber or pulp mill grade material.
The lumber grade material is then graded and cut to size to meet existing mill specifications.
In certain instances, the logger will also chip "paper mill' quality chips as opposed to
sending un-processed logs. In this case, the log is de-limbed, de-barked and then chipped
for later transport to the mill site.
The trimmings, including limbs, tree tops are then transported to the boiler fuel processing
area for chipping and loading.
This process uses a cone-head
chipper which chips the material
-
and loads the processed chips
directly into chip vans which are
on-site. Once the chip vans are
full, they are transported to the
biomass cogeneration facility for
unloading. Typically, the chips are
transported either the same day of
processing or the next day, = •r '"
depending on day of the week andV }
the volume of material being
generated.

3) Narrative description of the industrial processes that occur on the site where the
material will be burned.
W.E. Partners has signed a steam purchase agreement with Perdue Agribusiness LLC, a
division of Perdue Farms, to provide saturated steam to Perdue at the Lewiston, NC site. The
Perdue Lewiston site is a rendering and protein processing plant. Saturated steam is used in
the rendering of chicken parts from Perdue's processing plant that is located approximately
1 mile from the rendering facility.
In addition, a Power Purchase Agreement will be initiated with Dominion Power for the sale
of electricity generated by the facility and Renewable Energy Credits will be sold to Duke
Energy.
4) Physical and chemical description of finished fuels, including the extent to which the
fuels are physically and chemically similar to virgin material.
As described in paragraph 2, the biomass boiler fuel is identical in chemical composition as
timber being harvested and
transported to mills throughout
North Carolina. The material
being used for boiler fuel is
different only in that the bark and a
leaves, which must be separated for
"mill quality pulp" can be retained
in the biomass boiler fuel
specification. The physical `
dimensions of the chips is typically R
the same or very similar to in- ;
woods chipping for "mill quality"
chips. Again, the primary r `'
difference is that paper-mill quality
4T'
chips have the leaves and bark
removed prior to processing.
5) Identification and description of any existing markets for the fuels, including
discussion of the historical existence of the market,size and prices.
Biomass sources provide about 3 percent of all energy consumed in the United States. In 2002,
biomass supplied about 47 percent of all renewable energy consumed in the United States.
Electric generation from biomass (excluding municipal solid waste) represents about 11
percent of all generation from renewable sources in the United States. In fact, biomass supplied
more energy to the nation in 2002 than any other form of renewable energy, including
hydroelectric power. Biomass supplied almost six times the energy of geothermal, solar and
wind energy sources combined. Globally, biomass meets about 14 percent of the world's
energy needs.
The utilization of biomass for the production of steam is a technology that has been in
existence for more than 100 years. Companies that are utilizing biomass fired boilers are
601Page
largely in the forest products related businesses such as paper and pulp mills, saw mills with
kiln operations and other wood related products.
Biomass fired boilers are prevalent throughout the Southeast and in particular, North
Carolina. Based on 2006 data for the NC Dept. of Labor, North Carolina has more than 280
biomass fired boilers permitted to operate in the state. With that being said, several
companies outside the forest products sector have embraced biomass fired boilers in the last
several years. Companies such as Freight-liner, Dorthea Dix Hospital, Deep River Dyeing,
NC Correctional Institution and Corn Products are all examples of companies utilizing
biomass fired boilers that do not produce their own biomass fuel feedstock.
Pricing is primarily a function of biomass cost plus processing and transportation costs.
Process and transportation is very dependent on the cost of diesel fuel. Pricing, per our
preliminary requests for proposal ranged from $18 to $25 per green ton, delivered to
Lewiston site.
6) Identification of treatment process
The biomass fuel undergoes no treatment process other than the mechanical conversion from
limbs and treetops to a uniform chip material.
7) Description of general market use of fuel material.
To our knowledge, tree tops and limbs that are utilized for the production of biomass fuel is
used exclusively in the form of biomass fuel.
8) Description of benefits from the combustion of the fuels other than energy production.
Benefits of utilizing biomass as compared to fossil fuels are many.
a. Reduction on the dependence of imported natural gas and heating oil
b. Reduction in green house gases as biomass is considered green house gas neutral
c. Production of Renewable Energy Credits to assist North Carolina based utilities in
meeting the North Carolina Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard.
d. Supplemental increase in employment with additional employees needed for
harvesting, chipping and transporting biomass material.
9) Third party.
Please see item 2. In this business case, there are no third party participants. The logging
operator manufacturers' two products; lumber/pulp mill quality biomass or boiler fuel
biomass. No "broker" or other party is between the producer of the biomass boiler fuel and
W.E. Partners 1, LLC.
10)Any information relevant to whether the fuel is a solid waste.
To be classified as a solid waste, the material must have been discarded. Under the meaning
of"discard", the biomass material that will be utilized for combustion in the biomass boiler
is not a material that has been"discarded". The logger procuring the saw timber is the same
vendor providing the biomass material for combustion. The material has a positive economic
value as indicated by the pricing that we will be paying for the material, the processing of
the fuel and the transportation of the fuel to our facility. As indicated earlier, the material
611 Page
will be processed concurrently with the other logging products at the logging site, with
typical chipping and transportation occurring on the same day of production.

1. INTRODUCTION
Wellons Energy Solutions(Wellons)is proposing to install and operate three biomass-fired boilers to
be located at the existing Perdue Farms Lewiston Plant in Lewiston,North Carolina(Lewiston site).
The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources(NCDENR)Division of Air
Quality(DAQ)removed the exemption from preparing a toxics modeling demonstration for
combustion sources on July 10,2010. Therefore,to obtain an air quality permit for the proposed
biomass-fired boilers,a toxics demonstration must be performed for all toxic air contaminants which
exceed their Toxic Pollutant Emission Rates(TPERS). For those exceeding their respective TPERS,
the facility was required to conduct modeling of toxic air pollutant(TAP)emissions from the
proposed boilers to demonstrate compliance with acceptable ambient levels(AALs)at the Lewiston
site. Wellons is submitting this modeling analysis to demonstrate that the ambient concentrations
resulting from the emissions of TAPs from the proposed boilers do not exceed the AALs contained in
Chapter 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code(NCAC)Section 2D .1100.
This report presents the methodology and results of the air quality dispersion modeling conducted for
the Wellons Lewiston site.
The modeling report is organized as follows:
• Section 2—Modeling Methodology
• Section 3—Emission Source Parameters
• Section 4—Modeling Results
• Appendix A—Plot Plan
• Appendix B—Modeling Files
• Appendix C—Modeling Protocol Checklist
• Appendix D—Area Topographical Map

Lewiston Site 103402.0195
2. MODELING METHODOLOGY
The modeling methodology outlined in this section follows the Guidelines for Evaluating the Air
Quality Impacts of Toxic Air Pollutants in North Carolina, December 2009(Guidelines). A modeling
protocol checklist is included in Appendix C.
2.1 DISPERSION MODEL SELECTION
The air dispersion modeling analysis was conducted using the version 09292 of the American
Meteorological Society Environmental Protection Agency Regulatory Model(AERMOD)to estimate
maximum ground-level concentrations. AERMOD with PRIME is the recommended model for
refined analyses. AERMOD is a steady-state plume model that incorporates air dispersion based on
planetary boundary layer turbulence structure and scaling concepts, including treatment of both
surface and elevated sources,and both simple and complex terrain.
2.2 LAND-USE ANALYSIS
One of the upgrades to the AERMOD modeling system is the incorporation of land use into the
meteorological parameters for use in the AERMET calculations. Varying land use will produce
different environmental responses to heating,cooling,albedo,and other characteristics of the
Planetary Boundary Layer(PBL),which have an effect on the vertical stability and subsequent
behavior pollutant dispersion. In accordance with the Guidelines,the meteorological dataset has been
processed by DAQ to incorporate these characteristics.
2.3 TERRAIN
Receptor,building,and source terrain elevations were interpolated from National Elevation Dataset
(NED)data obtained from the U.S. Geological Survey(USGS)National Map Seamless Server
(NMSS). NED data are distributed in geographic coordinates in units of decimal degrees,and in
conformance with the North American Datum of 1983(NAD 83). The array elevations are at 1/3 arc
second(I 0-meter)intervals and were interpolated using the U.S. EPA-sanctioned AERMAP program
to determine elevations at the property line,as well as along Griffins Quarter Road(public access
road)and the defined grid withl00-meter receptor intervals. The NED and AERMAP files are
included in Appendix B.
2.4 METEOROLOGICAL DATA
Per North Carolina modeling guidelines,the dispersion modeling was performed using 1988 through
1992 preprocessed meteorological data based on surface observations and upper air measurements
taken from Norfolk,Virginia and Wallops Island,Virginia respectively.I The meteorological data set
was obtained from the NCDENR modeling and meteorology website.2

2.5 SITE LAYOUT
In all modeling analysis input and output data files,the location of emission sources, structures,and
receptors were represented in the Universal Transverse Mercator(UTM)coordinate system. The
Lewiston site is located in UTM Zone 18. The center of the Wellons facility emission sources is
located near UTM coordinates 300 km east and 4,002 km north.3
A diagram of the Lewiston facility including stack locations,building locations, and property
boundaries is contained in Appendix A.
2.6 BUILDING DOWNWASH
A good engineering practice(GEP)stack height evaluation was conducted for each point source to
determine if building downwash parameters were required in the modeling analysis. The Building
Profile Input Program with PRIME(BPIP-PRIME,version 04274)was used to conduct the GEP
analysis and calculate the necessary building downwash parameters required by AERMOD.
Dimensions for structures input to the analysis are summarized in Table 2-1. The analysis included
nearby buildings on the Purdue facility in addition to the buildings associated with the Wellons
facility. Appendix B contains the BPIP-PRIME input and output files.
3 These coordinates and all others in this report are based on the North American Datum of 1983(NAD83).

2.7 RECEPTOR GRIDS
Ground-level concentrations were calculated within one Cartesian receptor grid, at receptors placed
along the property line, and receptors placed along the stretch of Griffins Quarter Road which runs
through the south-west corner of the Purdue Facility. The Cartesian grid covers a region that extends
5 km from the center of the Lewiston facility in all directions and contains 100-meter spaced
receptors. Because the minimum source to property distance is greater than 100 meters, discrete
receptors were placed at 100 meter intervals along the facility property line.
Purdue operates the parcel of land west of Governors Road(SR 308). Wellons plans to operate the
proposed boilers on leased land on the western portion of Purdue's property. In accordance with
DAQ policy4,boundary receptors are placed along Purdue's property line,which runs along
Governors Road and Cherry Farm Road to the east, and Griffins Quarter Road that borders the site to
the south,nuns through the Purdue's facility, and continues south to border the south-west side. In
addition, there are several gravel roads that are present for Purdue's use only and are not considered
public right-of-ways5. Therefore, the boundary receptors were placed in such a way that they contain
these areas within the Lewiston facility's property line, while a set of four receptor points were
defined along the stretch of Griffins Quarter Road which runs through the south-west corner. The
property boundary configuration is included in Appendix A.

3. EMISSION SOURCE PARAMETERS
This section details the source parameters used in this analysis.
3.1 EMISSION RATES AND MODELED POLLUTANTS
The emission rates for the modeling scenario are calculated in two ways,depending on the type of
acceptable ambient levels(AALs). For short term AALs(i.e. TPER expressed in lb/hr or lb/day),the
emission rates are based on the maximum potential fuel throughput for each averaging period,
calculated using the maximum heat input rating of the boiler. For the long term AALs(i.e. TPER
expressed in lb/yr),the emission rates take into account the requested annual fuel throughput
limitations. The boiler emission rates for all TAPS that exceed the TPERs in 15A NCAC 2Q .0711
are shown in Table 3-1. Wellons modeled all TAPS listed in Table 3-1.
TABLE 3-1. FACILITY-WIDE EMISSION RATES

Pollutant Rate TPER Units
Acrolein 0.4 0.020 lb/hr
Arsenic 11.2 0.016 lb/yr
Benzene 2132 8.1 lb/yr
Beryllium 0.6 0.28 lb/yr
Cadmium 2.1 0.37 lb/yr
Chlorine 1.7 0.79 lb/day
Formaldehyde 0.4 0.04 lb/hr
Hydrogen Chloride 1.7 0.18 lb/hr
Manganese 3.4 0.630 lb/day
3.2 STACK PARAMETERS
The AERMOD dispersion model allows for emission units to be represented as point,area,or volume
sources. The proposed biomass-fired boilers at the Lewiston site unobstructed vertical release point
sources. For point sources with unobstructed vertical releases, it is appropriate to use actual stack
parameters(i.e.,height,diameter, exhaust gas temperature,and gas exit velocity/flowrate)in the
modeling analysis. Therefore,the boiler stacks were modeled with actual stack parameters. The
temperature,flow rate,height and diameter for each identical stack are included in Table 3-2.

4. MODELING RESULTS
Summaries of maximum modeled concentrations for the modeled emission rate are included in Tables
4-1 through 4-9. The maximum impacts for the 1-hr averaging period standards occurred in 1992 at
UTM coordinate 300,307.8 km east and 4,001,659.6 km north. The maximum impacts for the 24-hr
averaging period standard occurred in 1989 at UTM coordinate 299,967.7 km east and 4,001,470.8
km north. The maximum impacts for the Annual averaging period standards occurred in 1990 at
UTM coordinate 300,204.3 km east and 4,002,124.1 km north.

GENERAL
Description of New Source or Source/Process Modification:provide a short description of the new or Report,
modified source(s)and a brief discussion of how this change affects facility production or process operation. Section 1
Source/Pollutant Identification:provide a table of the affected pollutants,by source,which identifies the source Report,
type(point,area,or volume),maximum pollutant emission rates over the applicable averaging period(s),and,for point Section 3
sources,indicate if the stack is capped or non-vertical(C/N).
Pollutant Emission Rate Calculations: indicate how the pollutant emission rates were derived(e.g.,AP-42, Report,
mass balance,etc.)and where applicable,provide the calculations. Section 3
Site/Facility Diagram:provide a diagram or drawing showing the location of all existing and proposed emission Report,
sources,buildings or structures,public right-of-ways,and the facility property(toxics)/fence line(criteria pollutants) Appendix A
boundaries. The diagram should also include a scale,true north indicator,and the UTM or latitude/longitude of at least
one point.
Certified Plat or Signed Survey:a certified plat(map)from the County Register of Deeds or a signed survey Report,
must be submitted to validate property boundaries modeled. Appendix A
Topographic Map: A topographic map covering approximately 5km around the facility must be submitted. The Report,
facility boundaries should be annotated on the map as accurately as possible. Appendix D
Cavity Impact Analysis:If using SCREENS,a cavity impact analysis must be conducted for all structures with a
region of influence extending to one or more sources modeled to determine if cavity regions extend off property NA
(toxics)or beyond the fence line(criteria pollutants). No separate cavity analysis is required if using AERMOD. See
Section 4.2
Ii
GENERAL (continued)
Background Concentrations (criteria pollutant analyses only): Background concentrations must be determined
for each pollutant for each averaging period evaluated. The averaged background value used(e.g.,high,high-second-
high,high-third-high,etc.)is based on the pollutant and averaging period evaluated. The background concentrations NA
are added to the modeled concentrations,which are then compared to the applicable air quality standard to determine
compliance.
Offsite Source Inventories(criteria pollutant analyses only): Offsite source inventories must be developed and
modeled for all pollutants for which onsite sources emissions are modeled in excess of the specific pollutant significant NA
impact levels(SILs)as defined in the PSD New Source Review Workshop Manual. The DAQ AQAB must approve
the inventories. An initial working inventory can be requested from the AQAB.
SCREEN LEVEL MODELING
Model: The latest version of the SCREEN3 model must be used until AERSCREEN is developed and approved. The NA
use of other screening models should be approved by NCDAQ prior to submitting the modeling report.
Source/Source emission parameters: Provide a table listing the sources modeled and the applicable source NA
emission parameters. See NC Form 3—Appendix A.
Merged Sources: Identify merged sources and show all appropriate calculations. See Section 3.3 NA
GEP Analysis: SCREEN3—for each source modeled,show all calculations identifying the critical structure used in NA
the model run. See section 3.2 and NC Form I-Appendix A.
Cavity Impact Analysis: A cavity impact analysis using SCREEN3 must be conducted for all structures with a NA
region of influence extending to one or more sources modeled to determine if cavity regions extend off property
(toxics)or beyond the fence line(criteria pollutants). See Section 4.2
Terrain:Indicate the terrain modeled: simple(Section 4.4),and complex (Section 4.5 and NCFo?m 4—Appendix
A). If complex terrain is within 5 kilometers of the facility,complex terrain must be evaluated. Simple terrain must
include terrain elevations if any terrain is greater than the stack base of any source modeled. NA
Simple: Complex:
Meteorology:In SCREENS, select full meteorology. NA
Receptors: SCREEN3—use shortest distance to property boundary for each source modeled and use sufficient range NA
to find maximum(See Section 4.1 (1)and 0)). Terrain above stack base must be evaluated.
Modeling Results: For each affected pollutant,modeling results should be summarized,converted to the applicable NA
averaging period(See Table 3),and presented in tabular format indicating compliance status with the applicable AAL,
SIL or NAAQS. See NC Form SS—Appendix A.
Modeling Files: Either electronic or hard copies of SCREEN3 output must be submitted. NA
REFINED LEVEL MODELING
Model: The latest version of AERMOD should be used,and may be found at Report,
http://www.epa.gov/scram001/dispersion_prefrec.htm. The use of other refined models must be approved by NCDAQ Section 2.1
prior to submitting the modeling report.
Source/Source emission parameters: Provide a table listing the sources modeled and the applicable source Report,
emission parameters. See NC Form 3-Appendix A. Section 3.2
GEP Analysis: Use BPIF-Prime with AERMOD. Section
2.6,App.B
Cavity Impact Analysis: No separate cavity analysis is required when using AERMOD as long as receptors are NA
placed in cavity susceptible areas. See Section 4.2 and 5.2.
Terrain: Use digital elevation data from the USGS NED database htt //seamiess.us s. ov/index. h Use of other Report,
g ( p� g g p p)
sources of terrain elevations or the non-regulatory Flat Terrain option will require prior approval from DAQ AQAB. Section 2.3
Receptors:The receptor grid should be of sufficient size and resolution to identify the maximum pollutant impact. Report,
See Section 5.3.
Section 2.7
Meteorology:Indicate the AQAB,pre-processed,5-year data set used in the modeling demonstration:
(See Section 5.5 and Appendix B)
AERMOD Norfolk_Virginia and Wallops Island Virginia
If processing your own raw meteorology,then pre-approval from AQAB is required. Additional documentation files
(e.g. AERMET stage processing files)will also be necessary.
For NC toxics,the modeling demonstration requires only the last year of the standard 5 year data set(e.g.,2005)
provided the maximum impacts are less than 50%of the applicable AAL s .
Modeling Results:For each affected pollutant and averaging period,modeling results should be summarized and Report,
presented in tabular format indicating compliance status with the applicable AAL,SIL or NAAQS. See NC Form R5-
Appendix A. Section 4
Modeling Files: Submit input and output files for AERMOD. Also include BPIF-Prime files,AERMAP files,DEM Report,
files,and any AERMET input and output files,including raw meteorological data. Appendix B
