SUBJECT: Rescission Request
Application No. 3600026.22C
Darling Ingredients Inc. - Gastonia
Facility ID: 3600026, Gastonia, Gaston County
Permit Class: Title V
Permit No. 03590T36
Dear Mr. Haynes:
The Division of Air Quality has reviewed your letter and supporting documentation received
December 13, 2022 requesting rescission of Permit No. 03590T36.
Based on this information, the facility does qualify for exemption from permittmg. The only
stationary source still at the facility is a natural gas fired boiler (29.5 million Btu per hour maximum
heat input). North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) ISAParagraph 2Q .0102(h)(1)(B)
provides exemption for "fuel combustion equipment (excluding intemal combustion engines) firing
exclusively natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas or a mixture of these fuels."
Therefore, in accordance with your request. Air Quality Permit No. 03590T36 is hereby rescinded,
effective the date of this letter. It should be noted that this exemption from permitting does not
exempt Darling Ingredients Inc. - Gastonia from complying with the applicable emission control
standards including.
Furthermore, should you decide to modify the processes such that the result is an increase of
emissions above the emission thresholds given above, an Air Quality Permit or Registration may be
required, and you should contact this Regional Office prior to such actions for a permit or registration
applicability determination.

This exemption from the permitting requirement is based upon your statement that this facility has
been and will be operated under the threshold levels as outlined in the Regulation 15ANCAC 2Q
.0102(d). Please be advised that the operation of any air pollution emission sources which results in
increased emissions in excess of the threshold levels specified in 15ANCAC 2Q.0102(b)(2) without
an Air Quality Permit is a violation of 15ANCAC 2Q.0101, "Required Air Quality Permits." If this
facility is required to obtain an Air Quality permit in the future because of increased emissions, each
day of operation of the emission sources without an Air Quality Permit represents a separate
violation. Such violations may be subject to enforcement action pursuant to NCGS 143-215.114A.
Please remember that you are required to submit all required periodic reports (e.g.,
quarterly, semiannual, annual. Annual Emissions Inventory, etc.) and, in particular, an
Annual Compliance Certification for the partial period ending with the date of this
rescission letter by the reporting deadline.
Please be aware that even though your facility may no longer be subject to permitting
requirements, the operations must still comply with all applicable state and federal laws and
regulations. The attached Facility Compliance Tracking Checklist may be of help to you in
verifying you remain in compliance with certain federal and state regulations. It may also aid in
determining if you remain below the emissions threshold. You may use this checklist at your
discretion as it is intended to be used as a guidance document only. Furthermore, it is DAQ's
intent to periodically conduct compliance assurance visits at exempt facilities. If you have any
questions with reference to the above matter, please do not hesitate to contact Jermifer Manning at
704-235-2224.
Sincerely,
Melinda Wolanm, Regional Supervisor
