1 / 9 / 2 0 1 5 The RACT plan approval is su bject to the following conditions:

1) The purpose of this plan approval is to estab lish Nitrogen oxide and ( NOx) Reasonably available control technology (RACT) for Temple Universi ty, Main Campus. This includes the following emission source and control equipment.

A. Emission Sources (i) BMCEP Boiler #1: Victory Energy Models VS-4 -68, a natural gas heat input rating of
91.3 MMBTU/Hr and a #2 fuel oil heat input rating of 86.8 MMBTU/Hr. (ii) BMCEP Boiler #2: Victory Energy Models VS-4 -68, a natural gas heat input rating of
91.3 MMBTU/Hr and a #2 fuel oil heat input rating of 86.8 MMBTU/Hr. (iii)BMCEP Boiler #3: Victory Energy Models VS -4-68, a natural gas heat input rating of
91.3 MMBTU/Hr and a #2 fuel oil heat input rating of 86.8 MMBTU/Hr. (iv) Ten (10) Standby Generators, Caterpill ar 3516 Tandem engine, 2250 Hp each, burning natural gas. 2) Control equipment (i) Each boiler shall be installed with low NOx burners and flue gas recirculation

. 3) Emission limits

A. Boilers (i) Nitrogen Oxides (NO

x ) emissions from the three boilers combined shall not exceed 15.5 tons per rolling twelve month period. (ii) NOx emissions from each boiler shall not exceed the following: (a) 0.036 lbs/MMBTU for while burning natural gas, and (b) 0.110 lbs/MMBTU for while burning No.2 oil.

B. Standby Electric Generators (i) NOx emission from each standby electric genera tor shall be less than or equal to 2.00 g/bhp-hr; (ii) Each Standby Electric Genera tor shall operate at a maxi mum of 500 hours per rolling 12- month period (iii)The Combined NOx hourly emission rate shall be less than or equal to 99 lb/hr

4) Work practice standard

A. Standby Electric Generators (i) Each Standby Electric Genera ting Facility shall operate at a maximum of 500 hours per rolling 12-month period 5) Testing Requirements

A. Boilers (i) The Permittee shall perform stack testing on each BMCEP Boiler every five years

B. Standby Electric generators
(i) Temple Main shall conduct quarterly NOx por table analyzer test on each engine using AMS-approved procedure.
6) Monitoring, Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements

A. Temple shall monitor and record the following (i) The combined boiler NOx emission per rolli ng 12-month period calculated monthly to demonstrate compliance with the above NOx emission limits. (ii) Stack test result for each boilerRACT PLAN APPROVAL Temp le University – Main Campus Page 3

1 / 9 / 2 0 1 5 (iii)Operating hours for each Standby Electric Ge nerator per rolling twelve month period calculated monthly (iv) Portable analyzer test results for each engine

B. Temple University shall maintain a file containi ng all the records and da ta that are required to be collected to demonstrate compliance w ith NOx RACT requirement of 25 PA Code §129.91-129.94
C. Records shall be retained for at least five years and shall be made available to AMS on
request.
D. The company shall not impose conditions upon or otherwise restrict AMS's access to the aforementioned source(s) and/or any associated air cleaning device(s) and shall allow AMS to have access at any time to said source(s) and associated air cleaning device(s) with such measuring and recording equipment, including equipment recording visual observations, as the Department deems necessary and proper for performing its duties and for the effective
enforcement of the Air Pollution Control Act.

E. Revisions to any emission limitations incorpor ated in this RACT Approval will require resubmission as revision to the PA State Implementation Plan. The applicant shall bear the cost of public hearing and notific ation required for EPA approval as stipulated in 25 PA Code §129.91(h) 7) RACT Implementation Schedule
