compounds (PSD Avoidance)
1. 15A NCAC 02Q .0317: AVOIDANCE CONDITIONS
for 15A NCAC 02D. 0530: PREVENTION OF SIGNIFICANT DETERIORATION
a. In order to avoid applicability of this regulation,the above emission sources shall discharge into the
atmosphere less than 250 tons of VOCs per consecutive 12-month period.
Monitoring/Recordkeeping [15A NCAC 02Q .0508(f)]
b. Calculation of facility-wide monthly VOC emissions shall be made at the end of each month. Except for
the isopropyl alcohol(IPA) emissions from the cathode paste manufacturing process(ID No.ES-01),
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. The IPA emissions from the
cathode paste manufacturing operation(ID No.ES-01)shall be determined using the following
procedure:
IPA emitted= [(VIPA_in)x(6.58 lb IPA/Gallon IPA))] - [(V_discharged)x(Wt%_IPA/100)x(density)]
Where: IPA_emitted=monthly mass of IPA emitted to the atmosphere,in pounds,
VIPA_in=monthly volume, in gallons, of IPA used in the process,
density=density of the effluent,lb/gallon,(=8.014 lb/gallon for a 25%IPA/water solution by
weight),
V_discharged=total monthly volume, in gallons, of effluent(IPA water mixture)discharged
from the surge tank to the sewer. V_discharged shall be determined using a flow meter/totalizer.
The flow meter/totalizer shall be installed and operational by October 31, 2003. For the purposes
of computing V_discharged prior to the installation of the flow meter/totalizer,V_discharged
shall be determined using a daily discharge volume of 200 gallons per day of IPA water mixture.
After the flow meter/totalizer becomes operational,the company shall determine and record the
total volume discharged from the surge tank to the sewer each day during the month. The flow
meter/totalizer shall be calibrated yearly as per the manufacturer's recommended procedures
unless a more frequent calibration period is specified by the manufacturer. If the total volume
discharged during a day cannot be determined due to failure of the flow meter/totalizer or other
reasons,then the volume for that day shall be the lesser of. (1)the lowest daily volume discharged
during the prior three calendar months, or(2)200 gallons.
Wt%_IPA=weight percent of IPA in the effluent discharged to the sewer. The weight percent
shall be the average percent by weight for the calendar month. The company shall collect equal
volume aliquots from the surge tank prior to discharging the contents of the tank to the sewer.
Each of these aliquots shall be composited to create a monthly composite,and the IPA
concentration of the monthly composite determined on a percent by weight basis using SW-846-
8015 or an equivalent method upon approval by the DAQ, and the density shall be determined
based on the specific gravity of the mixture as determined by Method 2710-F (Standard Methods
for the Examination of Water and Waste Water) or its equivalent.
The Permittee shall be deemed in noncompliance with 15A NCAC 02D .0530 if the amounts of VOC
containing materials or the VOC emissions are not monitored and recorded.
c. Calculations and the total amount of VOC emissions shall be recorded monthly in a logbook(written or
electronic format). The daily volume of the IPA/water effluent discharged from the surge tank shall be
recorded. The results of all analyses of the monthly composite effluent samples for the weight percent
IPA and the density shall also be recorded. In addition,the Permittee must make available to officials of

Permit 04595T17
Page 7
the DAQ,upon request, copies of the monthly emissions log. The Permittee must keep each entry in the
monthly emissions log and all required records on file for a minimum of three years. The Permittee shall
be deemed in noncompliance with 15A NCAC 02D .0530 if the VOC emissions exceed this limit.
Reporting [15A NCAC 02Q .0508(f)]
d. The Permittee shall submit a summary report of monitoring and recordkeeping activities within 30 days
after each calendar year quarter, due and postmarked on or before January 30 of each calendar year for the
preceding three-month period between October and December,April 30 of each calendar year for the
preceding three-month period between January and March,July 30 of each calendar year for the
preceding three-month period between April and June,and October 30 for the calendar year for the
preceding three-month period between July and September. The report shall contain the following:
i. The monthly VOC emissions for the previous 14 months. The emissions shall be calculated for each
of the 12-month periods over the previous 14 months. The report shall also contain the weight
percent IPA,the density of the IPA/water mixture,the volume of IPA/water mixture discharged to the
sewer,and copies of all analyses during the reporting period for the weight percent IPA and density of
the IPA/water mixture discharged to the sewer.
2.3 Other Applicable Requirements
A. One packed-bed caustic wet scrubber(ID No. CD-03)installed on the sulfur dioxide storage tank(ID
No. S02TANK-)

Permittee submits emissions testing to the DAQ to demonstrate compliance,the Permittee shall perform such testing in
accordance with 15A NCAC 02D.2600 and follow the procedures outlined below:
1. The owner or operator of the source shall arrange for air emission testing protocols to be provided to the Director
prior to air pollution testing.Testing protocols are not required to be pre-approved by the Director prior to air
pollution testing. The Director shall review air emission testing protocols for pre-approval prior to testing if
requested by the owner or operator at least 45 days before conducting the test.
2. Any person proposing to conduct an emissions test to demonstrate compliance with an applicable standard shall
notify the Director at least 15 days before beginning the test so that the Director may at his option observe the test.
3. The owner or operator of the source shall arrange for controlling and measuring the production rates during the
period of air testing.The owner or operator of the source shall ensure that the equipment or process being tested is
operated at the production rate that best fulfills the purpose of the test.The individual conducting the emission test
shall describe the procedures used to obtain accurate process data and include in the test report the average
production rates determined during each testing period.

collection unless otherwise specified in the specific conditions. The owner or operator may request an extension to
submit the final test report.The Director shall approve an extension request if he finds that the extension request is a
result of actions beyond the control of the owner or operator.
a. The Director shall make the final determination regarding any testing procedure deviation and the validity of the
compliance test.The Director may:
i. Allow deviations from a method specified under a rule in this Section if the owner or operator of the source
being tested demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director that the specified method is inappropriate for
the source being tested.
ii. Prescribe alternate test procedures on an individual basis when he finds that the alternative method is
necessary to secure more reliable test data.
iii. Prescribe or approve methods on an individual basis for sources or pollutants for which no test method is
specified in this Section if the methods can be demonstrated to determine compliance of permitted emission
sources or pollutants.
b. The Director may authorize the Division of Air Quality to conduct independent tests of any source subject to a
rule in this Subchapter to determine the compliance status of that source or to verify any test data submitted
relating to that source.Any test conducted by the Division of Air Quality using the appropriate testing
procedures described in Section 02D .2600 has precedence over all other tests.
