From FRO,take Highway 87 south. The entrance to the facility is approximately 18 miles from FRO on the left side of I-ghway 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 Nafion®reactor area,personnel are not allowed to enter unless the process is not operating due to the safety hazards of the chemical reaction process. 3. FACILITY DESCRIPTION: DuPont Company-Fayetteville Works is a chemical manufacturing facility located in Bladen County. The facility employs approximately 500 employees and 250 full-time contractors on a 24 hr,7 day per week basis. DuPont Fayetteville consists of six 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 February 17,2013,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 did not note any errors in the contact information. Facility records were reviewed for emissions,control device inspections,and visible emissions from the emission sources. There are extensive electronic records available 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 Intranet 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. The two PVF facilities were shut down during the inspection for major maintenance operations. 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,although it was on site for a 3-month period from November 2012 through January 2013. 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. j 5.

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,the construction project will not begin anytime soon. Both of the boilers are currently combusting natural gas. The#6 fuel oil storage tank has been removed from service,and the permit was recently modified to remove#6 fuel oil as a permitted fuel for boilers PS- A and PS-B. 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-2 does have a PSD avoidance condition for PM,PM-10,NO.,and SO2. Boiler PS-C will be subject to NSPS Subpart De when constructed. All three of the boilers are now subject to the 2D .1109 Case-by- case MACT condition, in lieu of the NESHAP Subpart DDDDD Boiler MALT. Therefore,they are not currently subject to any of the requirements of the Boiler MACT. Due to debottlenecking of the boilers by the PVF facility, DuPont now has a facility-wide PSD SOz emissions limitation.

APPEARS IN COMPLIANCE—The highest 12-month VOC emissions during 2013 were 36.4 tons per 12- month period, and the 2013 calendar year emissions were 36.4 tons. The last semi-annual summary report was received at FRO on 01/27/13. 15A NCAC 2Q.0317 PREVENTION OF SIGNIFICANT DETERIORATION AVOIDANCE CONDITIONS—Emissions from the HFPO Product Container Decontamination Process(NS-N) shall not exceed the following: 40 TPY VOC. The Permittee shall keep monthly records of VOC emissions. The Permittee shall also maintain records of dates each container is decontaminated and total mass of VOC removed from each container. Semi-annual summary reporting is required. APPEARS IN COMPLIANCE—The highest 12-month VOC emissions during 2013 were 7.3 tons per year, and the 2013 calendar year emissions were 7.3 tons. Currently the facility is loading product on top of the _ _ material that remains in the cylinders,instead of purging them first. This has reduced emissions significantly; however,every product and/or all containers can't be handled this way due to customer requirements. The last semi-annual report was received at FRO on 01/27/13. DuPont Company—Fayetteville Works Compliance Inspection Report 02/17/2014 Page 10 of 15 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart FFFF: MISCELLANEOUS ORGANIC NESHAP(MON)—The Nation'process must comply with all provisions of this MALT. The MON requires 99%control efficiency for some Group 1 sources;however,DuPont 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. To monitor 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. Semi-annual summary reporting is required. APPEARS IN COMPLIANCE—The scrubbers currently controlling the Nation"process(NCD-HdrI 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 2013. The last semi-annual summary report was received at FRO on 01/27/13. 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 uses 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 is 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 is currently 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 has made a decision to eliminate APFO by 2015. The PPA process at the Fayetteville Works has been 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.1806 CONTROLAND PROHIBITION OF ODOROUS EMISSIONS(State Enforceable Only)—The Polymer Processing Aid Process facility shall not operate without implementing a management plan or without odor control equipment. APPEARS INCOMPLIANCE—The APFO process is controlled by scrubbers. No odors were noticeable during the inspection. DuPont Company—Fayetteville Works Compliance Inspection Report 02/17/2014 Page 11 of 15 15A NCAC 2D.I100 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 at least 30 gallons per minute and the differential pressure across the bed shall be a maximum of 12 inches of water. An alarm is required for the pressure monitoring. Records of all inspections shall be kept in a logbook. 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 two 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 two hours to establish the minimum 2-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 38.2 gpm,and the pressure drop across the scrubber bed was 0.1"H2O. The last internal inspection of the scrubber was performed on 08/13/2012. 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)will also address 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 a management plan or odor control equipment. An objectionable odor shall not be detected from these sources. The sludge dryers shall be controlled by a caustic injection scrubber. An I&M logbook is also required for the scrubber. 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. The most recent 5-year inspection was 11/0l/11. *Temporary Boiler(PS-Temp)* This boiler is permitted for Natural Gas/No.2 fuel oil and is brought on-site on an `as needed'basis.
