1. DIRECTIONS TO SITE: Chemours Company-Fayetteville Works is located on NC Highway 87 in Bladen
County. From FRO,take Highway 87 south. The entrance to the facility is approximately 18 miles from FRO on
the left side of Highway 87 just before the Cumberland/Bladen County line.
2. SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS: The usual FRO safety gear is required(hardhat,safety glasses,safety shoes,
hearing protection). Entry into several areas of the plant requires specialized safety gear. In the IXM Membrane
reactor and MMF process areas,personnel are not allowed to enter unless the process is not operating due to the
possibility of explosion hazards of the chemical reaction process.
3. FACILITY DESCRIPTION: Chemours Company-Fayetteville Works is a chemical manufacturing facility
located in Bladen County. The facility was formerly named DuPont. The facility employs approximately 500
employees and 250 full-time contractors on a 24 hr,7 day per week basis. The facility consists of four individual
manufacturing plants,a boiler house and a waste treatment operation. Several processes have PSD avoidance
conditions. The facility has two permanent boilers onsite, one permanent boiler which is permitted but not yet
constructed,and one permitted temporary boiler.
4. INSPECTION SUMMARY: On Wednesday,March 22,2017,I,Greg Reeves,of the Fayetteville Regional Office,
met with Mike Johnson,Environmental Manager,for a full compliance inspection. Mr.Johnson reviewed the
FacFinder sheet and noted no changes for the facility contacts. Facility records were reviewed for emissions,control
device inspections,and visible emissions from the emission sources. There are extensive electronic records for the
facility operations available on the local computer area network. Mr. Johnson confirmed that there have been no
changes in emission sources since the previous inspection/permit modification and that the emissions sources listed
on the permit had not changed. Mr.Johnson led a tour of individual plants and provided the required records. PSD
records and most all other records are accessible on the facility computer LAN in Mr.Johnson's office. For the
operating areas, flow rates and pressure drops in scrubbers are available in the control rooms of the respective areas.
Two boilers(PS-A and PS-B)were operating,firing natural gas. The third permitted boiler(PS-C)is not yet
constructed and Mr.Johnson stated that the modification would not happen in the near future. The permitted
temporary boiler(PSC-Temp)is not currently on site,and was not on site during 2016. The Vinyl Ethers North
product container decontamination process(ID No.NS-O),and the Vinyl Ethers South product container
decontamination process(ID No.NS-P)were not operating during the inspection. All other processes were in
operation during the inspection. I observed zero visible emissions from each of the operating source emission points
during the inspection.

6. APPLICABLE AIR QUALITY REGULATIONS: Regulations will be discussed for each of the various
manufacturing processes as listed on the current air permit.
•Powerhouse(Boilers PS-A,PS-B,and PS-C)•
The facility is permitted to operate one Natural Gas/No.2 fuel oil-fired boiler(139.4 mmBtu/hr maximum heat
input,PS-A),one Natural Gas/No.2 fuel oil-fired boiler(88.4 mmBtu/hr maximum heat input,PS-B),and one
Natural Gas/No.2 fuel oil-fired boiler with low-NOx burner(97 mmBtu/hr maximum heat input,PS-C). The third
boiler(PS-C)has not yet been constructed. According to Mr.Johnson,this boiler will not be constructed anytime
soon,as there is no current need for additional steam capacity. Both of the existing boilers are currently combusting
natural gas. The larger boiler(PS-A)has a steam capacity of 113,000 pounds of steam per hour(139.4 mmBtu
maximum heat input)and was manufactured in 1969. The smaller boiler(PS-B)was manufactured in 1982 with a
steam capacity of 72,000 pounds per hour(88.4 mmBtu/hr maximum heat input). They are both pre-NSPS boilers;
however,Boiler PS-B has a PSD avoidance condition for NO.and S02. Boiler PS-C will be subject to NSPS
Subpart Dc when constructed. All three of the boilers are now subject to the 2D .1109 Case-by-case MACT
condition through May 2019,in lieu of the NESHAP Subpart DDDDD Boiler MACT. Therefore,they are not
currently subject to any of the requirements of the Boiler MACT. Boiler MACT requirements will become effective
in May 2019. Chemours has a facility-wide PSD S02 emissions limitation of 702.5 tons per consecutive 12-month
period.

* FPS/IXM Process Area*
The operation produces a variety of relatively uncommon monomer and polymer chemicals. Some of the monomers
are shipped offsite,while others are used onsite in the production of various polymers. The polymers are shipped
offsite or used onsite to produce Nafion®membrane material. A principal use of this membrane is in the electrolysis
cells for production of chlorine and sodium hydroxide at chloro-alkali plants. The two waste gas scrubbers located
at the FPS/IXM process area are used to control the emissions of various pollutants including hydrogen fluoride and
other acid fluorides. The HFPO,Vinyl Ethers North and South,and the IXM Resins processes(ID Nos.NS-A,NS-

OF REQUIREMENTS OF PSD—Requires the facility to maintain records of annual VOC emissions from the
IXM Membrane Coating Process(ID No.NS-I)for 10 years following the startup of the modified process. An
annual report is required within 60 days after the end of the calendar year. If the projected actual emissions of
67.27 tons per year,as stated in the permit application,are exceeded,an explanation as to why the actual rates
exceeded the projection must be included in the annual report.
APPEARS IN COMPLIANCE—The IXM Membrane Coating process modification has not yet started
operation. Startup is currently expected in April 2017.
15A NCAC 2D.1111 MAXIMUM ACHIEVABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY(MACT)40 CFR Part
60 Subpart FFFF: MISCELLANEOUS ORGANIC NESHAP(MON)—The HFPO,Vinyl Ethers North
and South,and the IXM Resins processes(ID Nos.NS-A,NS-B,NS-C,and NS-G)must comply with all
provisions of this MACT. The MON requires 99%control efficiency for some Group 1 sources;however,
Chemours determined that their sources are not subject to the stricter requirements of a control device. The
Permittee shall monitor and inspect all the valves,pumps,compressors,agitators,and connectors for leaks using
the instrument monitoring methods described in 40 CFR 63.1023(b)-(c). All equipment affected by the leak
requirements shall be identified. The Permittee shall create and retain a record of the monitoring schedule for
each process unit. If a leak is identified,it shall be repaired as provided in the repair provisions of this section.
After a leak has been repaired,the valve shall be monitored at least once within the first 3 months after its
repair. This requirement is in addition to the monitoring required to satisfy the definition of repaired and first
attempt at repair. The required periodic monitoring may be used if it satisfies the timing requirement of this
condition. The Permittee shall repair each leak detected as soon as practical,but not later than 15 calendar days
after it is detected. The facility operates two process heat exchangers that are subject to the MON. Monitoring
for presence of a leak in a heat exchanger system requires that three samples of both the cooling water entrance
to and exit from the heat exchanger be monitored for the presence of hazardous air pollutants monthly for the
first six months of operation and quarterly thereafter. A semi-annual summary report is required.
APPEARS IN COMPLIANCE—The scrubbers currently controlling the HFPO,Vinyl Ethers North and South,
and the IXM Resins processes(ID Nos.NS-A,NS-B,NS-C, and NS-G)(NCD-Hdrl and Hdr2)meet the
control efficiency requirement. The scrubbers were tested at 99.6%efficiency in August 2003. Initial
notification was received on 2 March 2004. However,no controls are required for this facility based on HAP
content,THE values,and other various parameters. The facility has an extensive LDAR program,and inspects
all the valves,pumps, compressors,agitators,and connectors for leaks on a monthly basis. Records are
available at the site. Each affected unit has a physical tag for equipment identification. Three samples of both
the cooling entrance and exit are taken at the heat exchangers to analyze for leaks on a monthly basis. The
facility also submits a semi-annual report for MACT Subpart FFFF. There were no deviations from the
emission limits,operating limits,or work practice standards during 2016. The last semi-annual summary
report was received at FRO on 01/25/17. A more extensive MACT FFFF report is submitted to EPA and FRO
also,which includes several items not required in the Title V permit,but are required by the MACT. The
facility has a"zero leak"policy. If a leak is discovered,it is fixed ASAP,even if the process must be shut
down. No delay of repair scenarios are permitted by the facility's LDAR policy.

+ Polymer Processing Aid(PPA)Process(all sources labeled with AS-and ACD-)*
The polymer processing aid process,formerly the ammonium perfluorooctanoate(APFO)process,began operation in
December of 2002. Formerly,the Polymer Processing Aid reaction process used perfluorooctanoate(brought in by
truck in its iodide/salt form)reacted with sodium hydroxide(stored in totes)to form the acid fluoride. The acid
fluoride was then reacted with ammonia to produce the ammonium salt. Fuming sulfuric acid(oleum)is received by
truck and used as a solvent in the process. Currently,APFO and the associated perfluorooctanoic acid(PFOA),also
known as C8,are not regulated as toxic or hazardous air pollutants. However,the EPA has been reviewing the
chemical with the possibility of its designation in the future as a regulated pollutant. Due to historical pollution and
health effects concerns and recent controversy regarding the DuPont facility in West Virginia,and the recent activities
by the U.S.EPA to develop and review toxicity data for this chemical,the DAQ file includes several documents and
articles related to APFO,PFOA,or C8. The APFO process is subject to the 112(r)chemical accident prevention
program for oleum. DuPont made a decision to eliminate APFO by 2015,and therefore the PPA process at the
Fayetteville Works was modified,and no longer produces AFPO. A more environmentally friendly polymer is
currently being produced in the existing reactor as a replacement for APFO.
15A NCAC 2D.1100 CONTROL OF TOXIC AIR POLLUTANTS(State Enforceable Only)—Emissions
from the APFO facility shall be controlled by a wet scrubber. The liquid flow rate in the packed bed section
shall be a minimum of 30 gallons per minute and the differential pressure across the bed shall be a maximum of
12 inches of water,based on three-hour averages. An alarm is required for the pressure monitoring. Records of
all inspections shall be kept in a logbook. No reporting is required.
APPEARS IN COMPLIANCE—The scrubber is interlocked so that the system will shut down,almost
instantaneously, if the parameters are exceeded. The facility will go into shutdown mode if the three-hour
average is less than 30 gpm or pressure is 5 inches of water. The system is set up such that upon startup after an
extended shutdown,the scrubber must be operated for three hours to establish the minimum 3-hour average
prior to allowing the startup of the remaining equipment. The polymer processing aid chemical is a surfactant;
therefore,the dP increases occasionally due to `suds' in the scrubber. The liquid flowrate during the inspection
was 77 gpm,and the pressure drop across the scrubber bed was 0"H2O. The last internal inspection of the
scrubber was performed on 03/01/16. Inspections are on a two-year interval.
*Wastewater Treatment Area(all sources labeled with WTS-and WTCD-)*
For the wastewater treatment operations,the Title V permit specifies two rotary sludge dryers controlled by an
impingement-type wet scrubber with mist eliminator. The Miscellaneous Organic NESHAP(MON)also addresses
emissions from wastewater. With respect to quantity of emissions,methanol is the most significant air pollutant
from the wastewater treatment operation.
15A NCAC 2D.1806 CONTROL AND PROHIBITION OF ODOROUS EMISSIONS—The wastewater
treatment facility shall not operate without implementing management practices or installing and operating odor
control equipment sufficient to prevent odorous emissions from the facility from causing or contributing to
objectionable odors beyond the property boundary. The sludge dryers shall be controlled by a caustic injection
scrubber. An I&M logbook is also required for the scrubber. No reporting is required.
APPEARS IN COMPLIANCE—Odorous emissions from the sludge dryers are controlled by a scrubber
utilizing potassium hydroxide solution. Inspections of this scrubber are on a 5-year cycle. Wastewater
treatment odors were not noted at boundary lines. The sludge dryers are located inside a building. The facility
keeps maintenance records for the scrubber in their electronic maintenance program. Mr.Johnson stated that no
odor complaints have been received by the facility. The most recent 5-year inspection was 06/29/16.

APPEARS INCOMPLIANCE—The AP-42 emission factor for Natural Gas is 0.001 Ib/mmBtu and for No.2
fuel oil burning extremely low sulfur content oil(< 15 ppm Sulfur by weight)is 0.002 lb/mmBtu. Therefore,
the source will not exceed the limits while combusting either of these permitted fuels. The boiler was not on
site during this inspection.
15A NCAC 2D.0521 CONTROL OF VISIBLE EMISSIONS—Visible emissions shall be no more than 20%
opacity. No monitoring/recordkeeping/reporting is required.
APPEARS IN COMPLIANCE—The source was not on site during the inspection. While combusting either
natural gas or#2 fuel oil, it is expected that there will be no visible emissions from this source(VE=0%
opacity).
15A NCAC 2Q.0317 AVOIDANCE OF 15A NCAC 2D.0530 PREVENTION OF SIGNIFICANT
DETERIORATION—The temporary boiler PS-Temp shall discharge into the atmosphere less than 40 tons of
S02 per consecutive 12-month period. Monthly records of fuel usage are required. Monthly calculation of S02
emissions and rolling 12-month S02 emissions are required. A semi-annual report is required.
APPEARS IN COMPLIANCE—The boiler was not onsite during 2016. The last semi-annual report was
received at FRO on 01/25/2716.
15A NCAC 2Q.0317 AVOIDANCE OF 15A NCAC 2D.1109 CASE-BY-CASE MACT FOR BOILERS
AND PROCESS HEATERS AND OF 40 CFR 63 SUBPART DDDDD MACT FOR BOILERS AND
PROCESS HEATERS—The temporary boiler shall remain onsite for no longer than 180 consecutive days. If
it is onsite for more than 180 consecutive days,the facility must notify the regional office within 10 days of
exceeding the 180 day period. A startup notification is required within 15 days after startup of the boiler.
APPEARS IN COMPLIANCE—The boiler was not onsite during 2016. No notifications have been required.

amended permit application have been required.
PERMIT SHIELD FOR NONAPPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS—This permit condition states that the
boiler(ID No.PS-TEMP)has been declared a temporary boiler,as is thus not subject to NESHAP Subpart
DDDDD. The facility must keep records documenting that the boiler meets the criteria of a temporary
boiler. The facility must also submit a startup notification within 15 days of startup of the boiler.
APPEARS IN COMPLIANCE—The boiler has not been brought onsite as yet,so no notification or
records have been required.
GENERAL CONDITION 3.I REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR EXCESS EMISSIONS AND
PERMIT DEVIATIONS—Requires the facility to report incidents of excess emissions or deviations from
permit conditions.
APPEARS INCOMPLIANCE—The facility had two reported excess emission events involving the
