primary heat exchanger and associated inlet/outlet valves to ensure structural integrity.
e. The Permittee shall calculate the VOC emissions using the emission factors outlined in the
current permit.
£ For the catalytic oxidizer (ID No. CD-R2-New-CO), the Permittee shall maintain the 3-hour
block average catalytic oxidizer firebox temperature equal to or above the three-hour block
average established during the performance test conducted pursuant to Section 2.2 B.l.c. of the
current permit. The Permittee shall record the three-hour block averages in a logbook(written or
electronic format).
g. For Coffee Bean Flavoring Booth(ID No. ES-CBFB),Calculations of VOC emissions per month
shall be made at the end of each month. VOC emissions shall be determined by multiplying the
total amount of each type of VOC-containing material consumed during the month by the VOC
content of the material.
g. The Permittee shall record the calculations and the total amount of VOC emissions monthly in a
logbook(written or electronic format).
h. The Permittee shall be deemed in noncompliance with 15A NCAC 02D .0902 if the monitoring
or recordkeeping in Section 2.2.13.l.d through g of the current permit is not conducted or
maintained or if the VOC emissions exceed the limit in Section 2.2 B.La. of the permit.

Supervisor, of monitoring and recordkeeping activities given in Section 2.2 B.Ld-h of the current
permit postmarked on or before January 30 of each calendar year for the preceding six-month
period between July and December, and July 30 of each calendar year for the preceding six-
month period between January and June. The report shall contain the monthly VOC emissions
for the previous 17 months. The emissions must be calculated for each of the 12-month periods
over the previous 17 months.
Observed: The facility maintains an electronic database that is used to determine the emissions
listed in the permit. The new roaster was put into production on March 15,2018. The facility
completed emissions testing on the new roaster(ID No. ES-R2-New) on July 31,2018. The
results report was postmarked September 12,2018, exactly 180 days from start up. The results
were deemed acceptable by the Stationary Source Compliance Branch(SSCB)on January 22,
2019. The firebox set temperature established by the testing is 8507. The facility keeps records
of the firebox temperature,which indicated compliance with the requirement. The facility is
performing periodic maintenance on the catalytic and thermal oxidizers, including checks of the
primary heat exchanger. See below.
