Tracking No. 2018-270st
ESS performed EPA Method 5/202 to determine the total particulate matter(PM) from wood-fired boiler
ES-2. The test results are acceptable to demonstrate compliance with the applicable emissions limits.
The maximum per heat input rate for Boiler ES-2 is 13.9 million Btu per hour(mmBtu/hr). Emissions are
controlled by multicyclone CD-2. 15A NCAC 2D .0504 Particulates From Wood Burning Indirect Heat
Exchangers applies. Total PM emissions are limited to 0.46 pounds per million Btu(lb/mmBtu). The
test results are tabulated below. 40 CFR 63 Subpart JJJJJJ National Emissions Standards for Hazardous
Air Pollutants for Industrial Commercial and Institutional Boilers Area Sources also applies.
Pollutant Test Results Emission Limit Standard Compliance

Total PM 0.431b/mmBtu 0.46 lb/mmBtu 2D .0504 Yes
Heat Input Rate 2.5 mmBtu/hr 13.9 min W/hr --- ---
Permitted Max
The test results demonstrate compliance with 2D .0504. The test results are acceptable to demonstrate
compliance for heat input rates up to approximately 3 mmBtu/hr. Additional testing may be required for
firing at higher heat input rates. If you have any questions regarding the results of this review,please
