must be conducted within thirty days of startup. The Permittee shall comply with the
following with respect to the tune-up:
A. Periodic tune-ups: A biennial tune-up is required and shall be conducted no
more than 25 months after the previous tune-up. The following units are only
required to conduct a tune-up every five years: seasonal boilers (shutdown for
7 consecutive months or 210 consecutive days each 12-month period due to
seasonal conditions; only biomass or oil), limited-use boilers, and units with

types of fuels at the same time)that provided the majority of the heat input to
the boiler over the 12 months prior to the tune-up.
C. As applicable, inspect the burner, and clean or replace any components of the
burner as necessary. The Permittee may delay the burner inspection until the
Permit No. 10146R04
Page 6
next scheduled unit shutdown,but must inspect each burner at least once
every 36 months (72 months for 5-year tune-ups).
D. Inspect the flame pattern, as applicable, and adjust the burner as necessary to
optimize the flame pattern. The adjustment should be consistent with the
manufacturer's specifications, if available.
E. Inspect the system controlling the air-to-fuel ratio, as applicable, and ensure
that it is correctly calibrated and functioning properly. The Permittee may
delay the air to fuel ratio inspection until the next scheduled unit shutdown,
but must conduct the inspection at least once every 36 months (72 months for
5-year tune-ups).
F. Optimize total emissions of carbon monoxide. This optimization should be
consistent with the manufacturer's specifications, if available, and with any
nitrogen oxide requirement to which the unit is subject.
G. Measure the concentrations in the effluent stream of carbon monoxide in
parts per million,by volume, and oxygen in volume percent,before and after
the adjustments are made (measurements may be either on a dry or wet basis,
as long as it is the same basis before and after the adjustments are made).
Measurements may be taken with a portable CO analyzer.
b. Notification and Reporting Requirements - In addition to the notification and reporting
requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),the Permittee is required to
NOTIFY the Regional Supervisor,DAQ, in WRITING, of the following:
i. Compliance Report must be prepared by March 1 of every other year(or
every five years depending on the frequency of the tune-up requirements)
starting March 1 the year following the first periodic tune-up, and submitted

ii. Maintain the following records to document conformance with the work practices,
emission reduction measures, and management practices:
A. Tune-up records -records must identify each boiler,the date of tune-up,the
procedures followed for tune-up,the manufacturer's specifications to which
the boiler was tuned, and the following:
I. The concentrations of CO in the effluent stream in parts per million,
by volume, and oxygen in volume percent, measured at high fire or
typical operating load, before and after the tune-up of the boiler.
Permit No. 10146R04
Page 7
II. A description of any corrective actions taken as a part of the tune-up
of the boiler.
III. The type and amount of fuel used over the 12 months prior to the
tune-up of the boiler but only if the unit was physically and legally
capable of using more than one type of fuel during that period. Units
sharing a fuel meter may estimate the fuel use by each unit.
B. A copy the Energy Assessment required by 40 CFR 63.11214(c).
C. Seasonal boilers -For each boiler that meets the definition of seasonal boiler,
you must keep records of days of operation per year.
D. Records of non-waste determinations per 40 CFR 63.11225(c)(2)(ii).
iii. Malfunction Records -Records of the occurrence and duration of each malfunction
of the boiler, or of the associated air pollution control and monitoring equipment.
Records of actions taken during periods of malfunction to minimize emissions in
accordance with the general duty to minimize emissions in 40 CFR 63.11205(a),
including corrective actions to restore the malfunctioning boiler, air pollution
control, or monitoring equipment to its normal or usual manner of operation.
iv. Record Retention-You must keep each record for 5 years following the date of each
recorded action.

where one or more emission release points are obstructed or non-vertically oriented, do not exceed
the Toxic Permit Emission Rates (TPERs) listed in 15A NCAC 2Q .0711(a). The facility shall be
operated and maintained in such a manner that emissions of any listed TAPS from the facility,
including fugitive emissions,will not exceed TPERs listed in 15A NCAC 2Q .0711(a).
a. A permit to emit any of the below listed TAPs shall be required for this facility if actual
emissions from all sources will become greater than the corresponding TPERs.
b. PRIOR to exceeding any of these listed TPERs,the Permittee shall be responsible for
obtaining a permit to emit TAPs and for demonstrating compliance with the requirements of
