We appreciate your time and consideration. While you have not identified any major violations or issues, you have identified that a Site Specific Monitoring Plan has not been filed with the NCDEQ as required. Please accept this Site Specific Monitoring Plan as required under Permit#10126RO1. Per the report conducted by Analytical Testing Consultants Inc. (ATC),testing confirmed that the particulate emissions from the Lewiston facility are 0.0079 lbs/MMBtu. This actual performance is compared to our permit requirement of 0.07 lb/IV MBtu. As required by 15A NCAC 2D .I 111,the Permittee shall comply with the following requirements: i. Establishing Operating Limits—The permittee shall establish the minimum secondary power to the electrostatic precipitator during the three-run performance test for particulate as required by 40 CFR 63.11211(b),Table 3, and Table 6 to Subpart JJJJJJ. ii. Demonstrating Continuous Compliance(40 CFR 63.11222/Table 7 to Subpart JJJJJJ)— The permittee shall: A. Collect the secondary amperage and voltage, or total power input monitoring system data for the electrostatic precipitator according to 63.11224 and 63.11220, and Table 7 to Subpart JJJJJJ; B. Reduce the data to 12-hour block averages; and C. Maintain the 12-hour average secondary amperage and voltage, or total power input at or above the lowest 1-hour average secondary electric power measured during the most recent performance test 63( 11214). Deviations from this requirement must be reported in the annual compliance certification report. Per 40 CFR 63.11222(a)(1), operation below the established minimum, or outsi e t allowable range of the operating limits constitutes a deviation from the operating limits except during performance tests conducted to determine compliance with the emission and operating F E B 2 1 2013 11 P e limits or to establish new operating limits. Operating limits are confirmed or reestablished during performance tests. The following is submitted and attached to confirm the above Site Specific Monitoring Plan has been established. 1. A stack test was conducted to determine the emissions rate. See attachment 1 which confirms that the facility particulate emissions are below the required 0.07 Ibs/MMBt. 2. Per Item i, "The permittee shall establish the minimum secondary power to the electrostatic precipitator during the three-run performance test for particulate", See attachment 2. Minimum Secondary power average kW usage during testing was determined to be 3.4 kW. 3. Demonstrate Compliance. Per item ii, the computer system maintains a 12 hour block average (AM and PM). System is maintained so that average total power input is at or above the lowest 1-hour average of 3.4 kW as demonstrated during the stack test. This data is logged daily on the operator log sheet. See attachment 3. As noted on the daily log, in the event that the 12 hour block average is below 3.4kW,operators must notify management personnel. Should you have additional questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate in contacting me at the number above. Sincerely, re11 President 2 � ' �s �� � Attachment 1 Extract from ATC Stack Test Report conducted May 10`h,2012 Results Results are presented in the preceding Summary. Additional information may be reviewed in the Calculations and Appendix sections of this report. Dining the particulate matter testing,actual velocity measurements averaged 49.95 feet per second(ft/s) through the fourty-nine and a half(49.5) inch diameter exhaust stack yielding an actual volumetric flow rate of 40,050 cubic feet per minute(acfin) for the three two hour runs. Standard flows were calculated at 21,894 scfin and were based upon an average stack moisture of 17.83%, stack temperature of 327.65°Fahrenheit, and a station (barometric)pressure of 29.70 inHg. Stack static pressure was measured at -0.25 inches of water. During the CO measurements, actual velocity measurements averaged 49.04 feet per second (ft/s)through the fourty-nine and a half(49.5) inch diameter exhaust stack yielding an actual volumetric flow rate of 39,313 cubic feet per minute (acfin) for the three one hour runs. Standard flows were calculated at 21,483 scfin and were based upon an average stack moisture of 17.65%, stack temperature of 335.92°Fahrenheit, and a station (barometric)pressure of 30.00 mHg. Stack static pressure was measured at -0.16 inches of water. Filterable particulate em' ' averaged 0.697 pounds per hour(lb/hr), 0.0037 grains per dry, �1tu.standard cubic foot a 0.0 Carbon Monoxide emissions averaged 39.75 lb,In and 0.45 lb/MMBtuu.
