imminent danger. During nonnal working hours the Department 

can be contacted at 701 -328-5 188. After hours the department can 

be contacted through the twenty-four-hour state radio emergency 

number 1-800-472-2121. If calling from out of state, the twentyfour-hour number is 701 -328-9921. 

c) Unavoidable malfunction. The owner or operator of a source who 

believes any excess emissions resulted from an unavoidable 

malfunction shall submit a written report to the Department which 

includes evidence that: 

[1] The excess emissions were caused by a sudden, 

unavoidable breakdown of technology that was beyond the 

reasonable control of the owner or operator. 

[2] The excess emissions could not have been avoided by 

better operation and maintenance, did not stem from an 

activity or event that could have been foreseen and avoided, 

or planned for. 

[3] To the extent practicable, the source maintained and 

operated the air pollution control equipment and process 

equipment in a manner consistent with good practice for 

minimizing emissions, including minimizing any bypass 

emissIOns. 
Page 27 of II 

Permit No. T5-G85006 

[4] Any necessary repairs were made as quickly as practicable, 

using off-shift labor and overtime as needed and possible. 

[5] All practicable steps were taken to minimize the potential 

impact of the excess emissions on ambient air quality. 

[6] The excess emissions are not part of a recurring pattern that 

may have been caused by inadequate operation or 

maintenance, or inadequate design of the malfunctioning 

equipment. 

The report shall be submitted within thirty days of the end 

of the calendar quarter in which the malfunction occurred 

or within thirty days of a written request by the department, 

whichever is sooner. 

The burden of proof is on the owner or operator of the 

source to provide sufficient information to demonstrate that 

an unavoidable equipment malfunction occurred. The 

Department may elect not to pursue enforcement action 

after considering whether excess emissions resulted from 

an unavoidable equipment malfunction. The Department 

will evaluate, on a case-by-case basis, the information 

submitted by the owner or operator to determine whether to 

pursue enforcement action. 

Applicable Requirement: NDAC 33-15-01-13.2 

3. Continuous Emission Monitoring System Failures. When a failure of a 

continuous emission monitoring system occurs, an alternative method for 

measuring or estimating emissions must be undertaken as soon as 

possible. The owner or operator of a source that uses an alternative 

method shall have the burden of demonstrating that the method is 

accurate. Timely repair of the emission monitoring system must be made. 

Applicable Requirements: NDAC 33-15-01-13.3 

H. Noncompliance Due to an Emergency: The permittee may seek to establish that 

noncompliance with a technology-based emission limitation under this permit was 

due to an emergency. To do so, the permittee shall demonstrate the affirmative 

defense of emergency through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, 

or other relevant evidence that: 

1) An emergency occurred and that the permittee can identifY the cause(s) of 

the emergency; 
Page 28 of]] 

Pennit No. T5-G85006 

2) The pennitted facility was at the time being properly operated; 

3) During the period of the emergency the pennittee took all reasonable steps 

to minimize levels of emissions that exceeded the emissions standards, or 

other requirements in this pennit; and 

4) The pennittee submitted notice of the emergency to the Department within 

one working day of the time when emission limitations were exceeded 

longer than 24-hours due to the emergency. This notice must contain a 

description of the emergency, any steps taken to mitigate emissions, and 

corrective actions taken. Those emergencies not reported within one 

working day, as well as those that were, will be included in the semiannual report. 

5) In any enforcement proceeding, the pennittee seeking to establish the 

occurrence of an emergency has the burden of proof. 

a) Technology-based emission limits are those established on the basis 

of emission reductions achievable with various control measures or 

process changes (e.g., a New Source Perfonnance Standard) rather 

than those established to attain a health based air quality standard. 

b) An "emergency" means any situation arising from sudden and 

reasonably unforeseeable events beyond the control of this source, 

including acts of God, which requires immediate corrective action 

to restore nonnal operation, and that causes this source to exceed a 

technology-based emission limitation under this pennit, 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 preventative 

maintenance, careless or improper operation, or operator error.

Rationale for Selection of performance Indicators 

Visible Emissions (opacity) was selected as a performance indicator because it is indicative of good. operation and maintenance of the 

cye/one. When the cye/one is operating optimally, there will be little visible emissions from the exhaust. In general, on increase in 

visible emissions indicates reduced performance of the cye/one. 

Implementation of a cye/one operating and mainhmance (O&M) program provides assurance that the cyclone is in good repair and 

operating properly. 

Rationale for Selection of Indicator Ranges 

The indicator ronge for opacity is visible emissions or no visible emissions. The permit limits the opacity to less than 20". (maximum of 

40% for not more than one 6-minute period/hr). This indicator range was selected based on the facility's permit re.quirements.

Justification 

Ratior.ole for ~!s:ction of Ped2!:!!!2nce Indicators 

Opocity was selected as a performance indicator becouse there is 0 correlation between opacity and porticulate matter emissions. As opacity increases 

particulate matter emitted increases. 

B.!;!i2!!;!1e tor ~!s:!<tion of Indis:;g.tor Ra!:!9S:~ 

This indicator ro.nge WQS bdsed on compliance testing that established the correlation to the facility's permit requirements. In order to allow for a margin of 

compliance the demonstroted opacity !eYeI was determined at 90~ of the PM/PMI0 emissions limit. The demonstrated opcu:;ity level will be: 

19.5% when the combined amount of creosote-treated railroad ties and clean wood combusted exceeds 20~ (by weight) of the total omoont of fuel 

combusted. This indicator level corresponds to a PM emission rate of 0.072 Ib/mmbtu. The PMIPM IO emission limit is 0.08Ib/mmbtu. 

23.5% when combusting any o.m04Jnt of creosote-treo.ted roilrood t ies and cleon wood and the combined amount of creosote-treated roilrood ties o.nd 

clean wood is less thon or equal to 20% (by weight) of the totol omount of fuel cornbusted .. This indicator level corresponds to 0. PM emission rate of 

0.09 Ib/mmbtu. The PMIPMI0 emissiOn limit is 0.10 Ib/mmbtu. 

35.6'X. when combusting any fuel. This indicotor level corresponds to 0. PM emission rate of 34.2 Iblhr .. The PMI0 emission limit is 38.0 Ib/hr. 

For the specific combustion scenario when combustirq only hulls and biomass fuels, t he general combustion scenario. Ib/hr emission limit o.nd indicator 

Ie~ of 35.6'1. is more restrictive and would trigger correctiVe oction and an exasrsion in o.d~ of the specific combustion scenario PMIPMIO limit of 

0.24Ib/mmbtu. The demonstrated opacity level for an excursion of the PMIPMlO fimit of 0.24 Ib/mmbtu will be 51.5'1., which corresponds to. a PM 

emission rate of 0.216 Ib/mmbtu. Hulls are SlJnflo~r or soybecn hulls. Biomass fuel is described as follows: hulls (70% - 95%). wax (2.5% • 30%). and
