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.

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 41 from
permit writer were added as the new A.9 condition. Also,Specific Condition A.11 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
(ROI)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. The
400 hp boilers are too large for a facility that is sized this small. This new 150 hp boiler
normally runs as lead and one of the 400 hp boilers normally serves as backup. Boiler
No. 2 (ES-2)was dry stored in September of 2017. All the fluids were drained out and
dried at that time. 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, 5,175 lb/hr,
natural gas/# 2 oil, Model WB-A2-3P, Serial No. 15150P-WBLGL-08. A new and
efficient Limpsfield burner is installed on the unit. This 150 hp boiler was not operating
during the inspection. The 400 hp boiler (ES-1) 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(mainly the new 150 hp)and will rotate the usage
to the 400 hp boiler once every two (2) weeks for three (3) hours. The rotation to the
400 hp boiler occurred at the time of the inspection. 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
Page 3 of 5

Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center
January 10,2020
period July 1, 2019—December 31,2019). 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
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 41 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 on September 12, 2018 from INA Oil in Southport ahead of impending
Hurricane Florence. 1,000 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) 1 0,000-gallon storage tanks at the facility that
store the No. 2 fuel oil. The No. 2 fuel oil is sampled two times per year (refer to
attachments). 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 nm 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, so this won't occur again until next year (2021). 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 280.2 total hours
since startup of the unit. Generator No. 2 has operated 286.3 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 burns 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.
