Dear Ms. Poarch:

No. 2 fuel oil-fired boiler (with a 1.27 million Btu per hour maximum heat input rate) is subject
to Subpart JJJJJJ. The boiler is classified as a Seasonal Boiler under the Subpart,which states in
part the following (40 CFR 63.11223):
a. For affected sources subject to the workpractice standards or the management
practices of a tune-up, you must conduct a performance tune-up according to
paragraph (b) of the sections...
d. Seasonal boilers must conduct a tune-up every 5 years as specified in paragraphs
(b)(1) through (7) of this section. Each 5-year tune-up must be conducted no more
than 61 months after the previous tune-up...
Mr. Richard Morris of this office performed a Compliance Assurance Visit of your
facility on January 31, 2019. During that visit, Mr. Morris found that the most recent tune-up for
the subject boiler was conducted on December 13, 2013, and the 5-year tune-up had not yet been
scheduled. This letter serves as a Notice of Deficiency for failure to conduct a boiler tune-up
within 61 months of the previous tune-up as required by 40 CFR 63.11223.
