The facility-wide S02 emissions from the combustion of natural gas and No. 2 fuel oil in the three boilers were 0.019 tons during 2020 calendar year. Compliance with this stipulation is indicated. k. Condition A. 12. Avoidance Condition for Area Sources Subject to 40 CFR 63 Subpart JJJJJJ 61 -In accordance with 15A NCAC 2Q .0317,the permittee is avoiding Greif Packaging,LLC—CorrChoice Concord January 28,2021 Page 14 applicability of 40 CFR 63 Subpart JJJJJJ(6J) "Industrial, Commercial,and Institutional Boilers Area Sources." The permittee is permitted to operate a natural gas/No. 2 fuel oil- fired boilers (ID Nos. ES-133,ES-134 and ES-135). Per 40 CFR 63.11195(e),these sources are exempt from this subpart because they are defined as gas-fired boiler in 40 CFR 63.11237. In order to maintain this exemption,the permittee is allowed to fire liquid fuel only during periods of gas curtailment,gas supply interruptions, startups, or for periodic testing on liquid fuel(periodic testing not to exceed a combined total of 48 hours during any calendar year). i. The permittee shall maintain records that document the time periods when liquid fuel is fired and reasons the liquid fuel is fired. ii. If the permittee fires liquid fuel for reasons other than gas curtailment, gas supply interruptions, startups, or for periodic testing on liquid fuel,the Permittee is no longer exempt from Subpart JJJJJJ(6J). As required by 40 CFR 62.11225(g),the Permittee must provide notice within 30 days of the fuel switch. The notification must identify: A. The name of the owner or operator of the affected source,the location of the source,the boiler(s)that have switched fuels, and the date of the notice. B. The date upon which the fuel switch occurred. C. As required by 40 CFR 63.11210(h),the permittee must demonstrate compliance within 180 days of the effective date of the fuel switch. Observed. NCDAQ received the initial notification form from this facility on September 13,2011, stating that the existing boilers (ID Nos. ES-133 and ES-134; considered existing if constructed before June 4,2010)combusts natural gas and only uses No. 2 fuel oil as a back-up during periods of gas curtailment,gas supply interruptions, startups, and for periodic testing(not to exceed a combined total of 48 hours for each boiler during any calendar year). The boiler(ID No. ES-135)is considered a new area source per NESHAP area boiler GACT Subpart JJJJJJ(6J), since it commenced construction after June 4, 2010. During the permitting process of this boiler(ID No. ES-135),this company chose to avoid NESHAP Subpart 6J boiler GACT by only burning No .2 fuel oil during times of curtailment, emergencies and periodic testing. The startup of this boiler firing No. 2 fuel oil occurred on July 26,2016. No curtailment or supply interruption of natural gas to the three boilers(ID Nos. ES-133, ES-B4 and ES-B5) occurred during 2020 calendar year to present date. The periodic testing of each boiler on No. 2 fuel oil is conducted for 30 minutes once a month. The periodic testing of the three boilers on No. 2 fuel oil was each less than 48 hours from 2020 calendar year to present date. Therefore,the three boilers (ID Nos. ES-133,ES-134 and ES-135)burning only natural gas are not subject to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)for Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers Area Sources(40 CFR Greif Packaging,LLC—CorrChoice Concord January 28,2021 Page 15 Part 63, Subpart JJJJJJ or 6J). Compliance with this stipulation is indicated. 1. Condition A. 13. Toxic Air Pollutant Emissions Limitation Requirement-Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2Q .0711 "Emission Rates Requiring a Permit" for each of the below listed toxic air pollutants (TAPS),the permittee has made a demonstration that facility-wide actual emissions,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). Chronic Acute Acute Pollutant Carcinogens Toxicants Systemic Irritants (lb/yr) (lb/day) Toxicants (lb/hr) (lb/hr) Acetaldehyde(75-07-0) 1 F_ 6.8 Acrolein(107-02-8) 0.02 Ammonia(as NH3) � 0.68 (7664-41-7) Arsenic&Compounds (total mass of elemental AS, arsine and all 0.053 inorganic compounds) (ASC (7778394)) Benzene(71-43-2) 8.1 Benzo(a)pyrene (Component of 83329/POMTV& 2.2 56553/7PAH) (50-32-8) Beryllium Metal (unreacted) (Component 0.28 of BEC) (7440-41-7) Cadmium Metal, elemental,unreacted 0.37 (Component of CDC) (7440-43-9) Chromium(VI) Soluble Chromate Compounds 0.013 (Component of CRC) (So1CR6) Fluorides (sum of all fluoride compounds as mass of F ion) (16984-48- 0.34 0.064 8) Formaldehyde(50-00-0) 1 0.04 Greif Packaging,LLC—CorrChoice Concord January 28,2021 Page 16 Hexane,n- (110-54-3) 23 Manganese&compounds 0.63 (MNC) Mercury,vapor (Component of HGC) 0.013 (7439-97-6) Methyl chloroform(71- 250 64 55-6) Nickel metal(Component 0.13 NIC) (7440-02-0) Toluene(108-88-3) 98 14.4 �Xylene(mixed isomers) 57 716T (1330-20-7) Observed. The TPER limits of 2Q .0711(a) are applicable since the exhaust stacks of the three boilers are a mixture of vertical and capped and uncapped. This company operates this facility 24 hours per day, 5 days per week and 52 weeks per year. The primary fuel of the three boilers (ID Nos. ES-133,ES-134 and Es-135) is natural gas. No. 2 fuel oil is combusted if the three boilers are curtailed or periodic testing. This company is tracking the monthly natural gas and No. 2 fuel oil usage in an electronic Excel spreadsheet. The facility-wide natural gas usage was 134,525 ccf in calendar year 2020. The No. 2 fuel oil usage was 408 gallons in calendar year 2020. The DAQ combustion emissions calculator spreadsheets for natural gas and No. 2 fuel oil were used to determine if the above listed pollutants were being exceeded. The actual emissions from the combustion of natural gas and No.2 fuel oil in the three boilers during calendar year 2020 indicate that each pollutant is less than the respective TPER limits listed in the above table. Compliance with this stipulation is indicated. 8. NSPS/NESHAP Review: a. The three boilers(ID Nos. ES-133,ES-134 and ES-135)burning only natural gas are not subject to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants(NESHAP) for Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers Area Sources (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart JJJJJJ or 6J). This company will only burn No. 2 fuel oil in the three boilers(ID Nos. ES-133,ES-134 and ES-135) during times of gas curtailment,gas supply interruptions, startups, or for periodic testing(not to exceed combined total of 48 hours per boiler during any calendar year) (refer to explanation in Specific Condition and Limitation No. A. 12). b. The three boilers (ID Nos.ES-133,ES-134 and ES-135) are subject to 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Dc-"Standards of Performance for Small-Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam Generating Units," since these boilers were constructed after June 9, 1989 with a maximum heat input capacity greater than 10 million Btu per hour(refer to explanation in Specific Condition and Limitation No. A. 7.). C. This company has no emergency or peak shaving engines/generators or gasoline storage Greif Packaging,LLC—CorrChoice Concord January 28,2021 Page 17 tanks at this facility. The fire pump at Plant No. 2 is not subject to NESHAP Subpart 4Z, since it is electrically powered. 9. Summary of changes needed to the current permit: a. The No. 2 fuel oil aboveground storage tank (10,000 gallon maximum capacity) should be listed in the insignificant/exempt activities in permit attachment during the next revision. The No. 2 fuel oil tank is exempt per 15A NCAC 2Q .0102 (g)(4). b. The electronic yellowsheet for permit changes needed has been completed and placed in the facility's electronic file. 10. Compliance assistance offered duringthe h�pection: Air Permit No. 06503R12 will expire on September 30, 2021. Specific Condition and Limitation No. A. 2. "Permit Renewal and Emission Inventory Requirement" states that the permittee request permit renewal by letter along with an application form and submit air pollution emissions inventory report for the 2020 calendar year with certification sheet at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration date of the permit. I discussed the permit renewal requirements with Mr. Wilson and Mr. Hogle. 11. Section 112(r)applicability: This facility does not appear to be subject to the requirements of the Chemical Accident Release Prevention Program, Section 112(r)of the Clean Air Act. 12.
