shall discharge into the atmosphere less than 702.5 tons of SO-, per consecutive 12-month period.
Testing [15A NCAC 2D .2601]
b. If emissions testing is required, the Permittee shall perform such testing in accordance with General Condition JJ. If
the results of this test indicate annual emission rates in exceedance of the limit given in Section 2.2 A. La. above, the
Permittee shall be deemed in noncompliance with 15A NCAC 2D .0530.
Monitoring/Recordkee in [15A NCAC 2Q .0508(f)]
c. The Permittee shall keep monthly records of fuel usage in a logbook (written or in electronic format), as follows:
i. The total quantity (in mmscf) of natural gas fired at the affected boilers;
ii. The total quantity (in 1,000 gal) of No. 2 and No. 6 fuel oil fired at the affected boilers; and,
iii. The fuel oil supplier certification for any fuel oil fired at the affected boilers, including the sulfur content of the
oil (in percent by weight).
The Permittee shall be deemed in noncompliance with 15A NCAC 2D ,0530 if records of the fuel usage and fuel oil
sulfur contents are not created and retained as required above.
d. The Permittee shall calculate monthly and 12-month rolling S02 emissions from the affected boilers within 30 days
after the end of each calendar month. Calculations shall be recorded in a logbook (written or electronic format),
according to the following formulas:
i. Calculate S02 emissions from the previous calendar month using the following equation:
ESoz=157*Sfo6 *Qfo6 +142*Sfo2 *Qfo2 +0.6*Q„g
Where, Es02 =
S02 emissions (in lbs) during the previous calendar month;
S fo6 =
Sulfur content in the No. 6 fuel oil (in percent by weight);
Qfo6 =
Quantity of No. 6 fuel oil fired during the previous calendar month (in
1,000 gal);
S fo2 =
Sulfur content in the No. 2 fuel oil (in percent by weight);
Qfo2 =
Quantity of No. 2 fuel oil fired during the previous calendar month (in
1,000 gal); and,
Q s =
Quantity of natural gas fired during the previous calendar month (in 1,000
gal).
ii. Sum the S02 emissions from the affected boilers for the previous 12-month period to determine the 12-month
rolling emission total.
The Permittee shall be deemed in noncompliance with 15A NCAC 2D .0530 if records of the monthly calculations
listed above are not retained or if the 12-month rolling emission totals are greater than the emission limit provided in
Section 2.2 A. La. of this permit.
Reporting [15A NCAC 2Q .0508(f)]
e. The Permittee shall submit a semi-annual summary report, acceptable to the Regional Air Quality Supervisor, of
monitoring and recordkeeping activities postmarked on or before January 30 of each calendar year for the preceding
six-month period between July and December, and July 30 of each calendar year for the preceding six-month period
between January and June. The report shall contain the following:
i. The monthly S02 emissions from two affected boilers for the previous 17 calendar months;
ii. The 12-month rolling S02 emissions for each 12-month period ending during the reporting period; and,
iii. All instances of deviations from the requirements of this permit must be clearly identified.

2. If the source is not subject to NSPS (15A NCAC 2D .0524), NESHAPS (15A NCAC 2D .1110 or .1111), or these rules
do NOT define "excess emissions," the Permittee shall report excess emissions in accordance with 15A NCAC 2D .0535
as follows:
a. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2D .0535, if excess emissions last for more than four hours resulting from a malfunction, a
breakdown of process or control equipment, or any other abnormal condition, the owner or operator shall:
i. Notify the Regional Supervisor or Director of any such occurrence by 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time of the Division's
next business day of becoming aware of the occurrence and provide:

• nature and cause of the malfunction or breakdown;
• time when the malfunction or breakdown is first observed;
• expected duration; and
• estimated rate of emissions;
ii. Notify the Regional Supervisor or Director immediately when corrective measures have been accomplished;
and
iii. Submit to -the Regional Supervisor or Director within 15 days a written report as described in 15A NCAC 2D

deviation and any corrective actions or preventative actions taken. The responsible official shall certify all
deviations from permit requirements.
I.B. Other Requirements coder 15A NCAC 2D 0535
The Pemuttee shall comply with all other applicable requirements contained in 15A NCAC 2D .0535, including 15A NCAC
2D .0535(c) as follows:
1. Any excess emissions that do not occur during start-up and shut -down shall be considered a violation of the appropriate
rule unless the owner or operator of the sources demonstrates to the Director, that the excess emissions are a result of a
malfunction. The Director shall consider, along with any other pertinent information, the criteria contained in 15A
NCAC 2D .0535(c)(1) through (7).
2. 15A NCAC 2D .0535(g). Excess emissions during start-up and shut -down shall be considered a violation of the

J. Emergency Provisions [40 CFR 70.6(g)]
The Perrnittee shall be subject to the following provisions with respect to emergencies:
1. An emergency means any situation arising from sudden and reasonably unforeseeable events beyond the control of the
DEQ-CFW 00085829
Permit 03735T34
Page 39
facility, including acts of God, which situation requires immediate corrective action to restore normal operation, and that
causes the facility to exceed a technology -based emission limitation under the permit, due to unavoidable increases in
emissions attributable to the emergency. An emergency shall not include noncompliance to the extent caused by
improperly designed equipment, lack of preventive maintenance, careless or improper operation, or operator error.
2. An emergency constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology -based
emission limitations if the conditions specified in 3. below are met.
