Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center January 29,2021 1. Contact was made with John Melcher, Supervisor Plant Engineering Services. 2. Applicable regulations for Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center are as follows: 2D .0202 "Permit Renewal and Emission Inventory Requirement' 2D .0503 "Particulates from Fuel Burning Indirect Heat Exchangers" 2D .0515 "Particulates from Miscellaneous Industrial Processes" 2D .0516 "Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from Combustion Sources" 2D .0521 "Control of Visible Emissions" 2D .0524 "40 CFR 60, Subpart Dc and Subpart IIII (4I)" 2D .0535 "Excess Emissions Reporting and Malfunctions" 2D .0540 "Fugitive Dust Control Requirement' 2D .1111 "40 CFR 63 Subpart ZZZZ(4Z)—Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines" 2Q .0317 "40 CFR Part 63 Subpart JJJJJJ(6J)Avoidance" 3. The following equipment is contained in Permit No. 10031ROI: Emission Emission Source Control Control System Source ID Description System ID Description ES-1 (NSPS) one boiler(2009 model, natural gas/No. 2 fuel N/A N/A oil fired, 400 hp/16.8 MM Btu/hr heat input) ES-2 (NSPS) one boiler(2009 model, natural gas/No. 2 fuel N/A N/A oil fired,400 hp/16.8 MM Btu/hr heat input) ES-3 (NESHAP, one emergency back-up NSPS) generator(2009 model, No. 2 diesel fueled, N/A N/A rated at 1,500 kw/2,328 hp) ES-4 (NESHAP, one emergency back-up NSPS) generator(2009 model, No. 2 diesel fueled, N/A N/A rated at 1,500 kw/2,328 hp) 4. This facility opened and started receiving patients on July 31, 2011. The boilers were manufactured in December 2008 and delivered to the facility in September 2009. Testing for the boilers began on May 1, 2010 with the ultra-low sulfur No. 2 fuel oil < 15 ppm (.0015%). Conversion and startup of the boilers to natural gas occurred on November 8, 2010. Compliance was achieved with the NSPS startup notifications for the boilers. Page 2 of 4 Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center January 29,2021 5. The first-time air permit renewal was done on October 15, 2014. The emissions inventory report was completed on time. The facility requested a name change from Brunswick Novant Medical Center to Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center. Specific Condition a. 9 was added to the permit—40 CFR Part 60, NSPS Subpart IIII for the two existing 2009 model generators. The previous permit version (R00) included the adhoc 4I language, which explained the requirements of 4I very thoroughly with the 4Z header. In this permit, the regulations pertaining to 4I from permit writer were added as the new A.9 condition. Also, Specific Condition A.I I was added to include 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart JJJJJJ(6J)Boiler GACT avoidance condition (2Q .0317) for the two existing boilers. The previous permit (R00) included the 4I requirements, but when that permit was initially drafted the permit writer did not have any specific language for the 4I requirements and an adhoc condition explaining the 4I requirements was added in the permit — under the 4Z NESHAP heading (former condition A.8.). Specific Condition A.8 in the previous permit revision for the NESHAP Subpart ZZZZ will remain as a header and will explain that compliance with the 4Z NESHAP will be demonstrated by meeting the 4I NSPS rule. This revision (RO 1)will use the language already existing in the permit writer(see Specific Condition A. 9. for 4I). The 2Q .0317 Avoidance Condition for Area Sources subject to 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart JJJJJJ (6J) is added in this permit(see Specific Condition A.11) since the two boilers burn natural gas. If the boilers are switched to No. 2 fuel, they will be subject to the Boiler GACT Subpart JJJJJJ (6J)requirements. 6. On April 5, 2017,the facility began operating a newer and smaller 150 hp boiler. Dean Carroll (DAQ WiRO Permit Coordinator) was notified about the addition of the new 150 hp boiler before it began operating. It was determined that this new boiler would be allowed to operate without a permit modification per the 2Q .0318 rule—"Changes Not Requiring a Permit Revision". Refer to a previously attached email between John Melcher and Dean Carroll. The following info was obtained from the new boiler's nameplate: 150 hp,date 2015, 150 psi, 5,1751b/hr,natural gas/#2 oil,Model WB-A2- 3P, Serial No. 15150P-WBLGL-08. A new and efficient Limpsfreld burner is installed on the unit. This 150 hp boiler was not operating during the inspection. The 400 hp boiler (ES-2) was observed operating during the inspection. It was being fired with natural gas and was operating at 0% opacity. This facility only runs one boiler at a time and will rotate the usage weekly. The boilers use natural gas as a primary fuel unless curtailment occurs. Brady Boiler Services does quarterly inspections and annual maintenance on the boilers. 7. The facility is in compliance with their semi-annual NSPS recordkeeping and reporting requirements pertaining to the boilers. The first semi-annual report was due by January 30, 2012 and was received on time. Subsequent reports have been received on time and have indicated compliance. A copy of the last semi-annual report is attached(time period July 1, 2020—December 31, 2020). The facility last got curtailed for 72 hours during very cold weather from January 7, 2017 @ 10:00 am to January 10, 2017 @ 10:00 am. 2,160 gallons of ultra low sulfur No. 2 fuel oil were burned in each boiler (4,320 total gallons) during that time. Each boiler burns approximately 120 gallons of Page 3 of 4 Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center January 29,2021 ultra low sulfur No. 2 fuel oil (4 hours) during each semi-annual period due to required quarterly periodic testing. 8. The facility is subject to the NSPS IIII rule since the generators were constructed after June 12, 2006. Compliance with the rule has been achieved. By complying with the NSPS 4I Cl RICE regulations, the facility will also be in compliance with the requirements of the NESHAP ZZZZ (4Z) regulations. The last load of No. 2 fuel oil was received in September 2019 from INA Oil in Southport ahead of impending Hurricane Dorian. Florence. 700 gallons of No. 2 fuel oil were received at that time. The facility typically receives one delivery every two years just to top off their tanks or if there is an impending hurricane. Certifications of the No. 2 fuel oil indicate that the sulfur PPM < 15 and the cetane index is > 40 and are attached to the semi-annual reports. This ultra low sulfur No. 2 fuel oil is used in the generators and is also used for boiler backup fuel. There are two(2) 10,000-gallon storage tanks at the facility that store the No. 2 fuel oil. The No. 2 fuel oil is sampled yearly by Gregory Poole (refer to attachment). The generators were equipped with a non-resettable hour meter prior to startup of the engines to comply with NSPS IIII. The generators are each limited to 100 hours per year for maintenance checks and readiness testing per NSPS IIII. Each generator only runs about thirty (30) minutes per month for maintenance checks and readiness testing. This is done on the last Thursday of every month. On one day every third year(36 months),each generator must run four(4)hours continuously under load at 30%of the nameplate rating for maintenance checks and readiness testing. This was done on a day in March 2018. This is scheduled to occur again on a day in May of this year. The 100-hour limit on each generator for maintenance checks and readiness testing per NSPS IIII is easily being obtained. Generator No. I has operated 303 total hours since startup of the unit. Generator No. 2 has operated 308.3 total hours since startup of the unit. 180 gallons of ultra low sulfur No. 2 fuel oil are typically used in each generator during each semi-annual period (30 gallons per month X 6 months). The generators were not operating during this inspection. The generators operated for 48 hours during Hurricane Florence in September 2018. Gregory Poole performs quarterly maintenance on the generators. 9. The facility is not subject to the Boiler GACT (6J) because it bums natural gas as a primary fuel unless it is curtailed. It will become subject to 6J if it switches to burning No. 2 fuel oil as the primary fuel. It would then have 180 days to do a one-time energy assessment. An initial boiler tune up will be required soon thereafter. The facility does not think the fuel switch will ever happen unless the price of No. 2 fuel oil becomes much lower. 10. 5-year compliance history — Compliance has been achieved during this time period. No NOD's, NOV's, or NRE's have been issued to this facility. 11.Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center was operating in compliance with Air Quality regulations during the inspection.
