Directions: Take I-77 to I-40 West. Left on Exit 135 into Claremont. Right on Main Street and after about 0.5
miles turn left onto Penny Drive. Go to the back of the facility for entrance.
Safety Equipment. Safety glasses and safety shoes are required.
Generallnformatior:: This facility manufactures glass fibers and fiber optic cable. This facility operates
with four shifts,24 hours per day, seven days per week, and employs about 400 people.The purpose of
this site visit was to observe the stack tests being conducted on the large torch over-cladding units(Cells
4 and 5; ID No. ES-9)and the new technology torch over-cladding units(Cells 5, 6, and 7; ID No. ES-9a)
The over-cladding units(ES-9a)are controlled by a hydrated lime scrubber(213S),which is a bagfilter
with lime as a scrubbing medium.

The facility must test the over-cladding units with associated dry scrubber(ID ID No.2DS) and over-
cladding units with associated dry scrubber(ID No. IDS)for dry scrubber control efficiency for NOx.
Permit Condition 2.2-A.La. states"Total emissions of nitrogen oxides from equipment in Cells 1,2,3,
and 4, and two boilers shall be less than 250 tons per consecutive 12-month period."In addition,Permit
Condition 2.2-A.I.e.requires"uncontrolled NOx emissions from individual small and large torch over-
cladding units(Cells 4; ID No. ES-9)shall be tested to determine emission rates in pounds of NOx per
unit-hour to be used in demonstrating compliance with the PSD avoidance condition"Permit condition
2.2-B.Le. states"NOx uncontrolled emissions from individual new technology torch over-cladding units.
(Cells 5, 6, and 7; ID No. ES-9a) shall be tested to determine emission rates in pounds of NOx per unit-
hour to be used in demonstrating compliance with the PSD avoidance condition."
The testing protocol was submitted to this office on January 23,2020 and approved by SSCB on February
11, 2020'.The facility contracted McHale Environmental to perform testing using EPA Method 7E for
nitrogen oxides emissions from the over-cladding units(ID Nos. ES-9 and ES-9a).
The facility initially proposed that testing would occur Wednesday, February26,2020. However, on
Tuesday; February 25, 2020, Mr. Miller contacted me to inform me that the stack testing representative
was sick and would need to reschedule until Friday, February 28,2020.
The stack test was rescheduled for February 28, 2020, however the tester remained severely ill and it was
rescheduled to March 5,2020 with MRO approval. I arrived at the facility on Thursday, March 5,2020 at
approximately 9:00 AM and met with Mr. Rick Miller,Environmental Safety Manager. McHale
Environmental was performing the stack test setup.The equipment was set up to test over-cladding unit
ES-9 first.The sampling data for over-cladding unit ES-9 is below:

contacted Mr. Brent Hall with
SSCB at 11:18 AM and
informed him of the event.DAQ
requested that the tester redo this
run.

I did not observe testing conducted for over-cladding unit ES-9a.
Conclusion: Based upon observations made, it appeared testing for over-cladding unit ES-9 was
performed in compliance with the requirements of the appropriate test methods.
