1 / 9 / 1 5 The RACT plan approval is subj ect 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 Universit y, Health Science center. This includes the following emission source and control equipment.

A. Emission Sources

(i) Boiler #1: The Central Steam Plant (CSP) Boiler #1 is a Keeler CP un its with heat input
76.4 MMBTU/hr that combust both na tural gas and #6 fuel oil (ii) Boiler #2: The Central Steam Plant (CSP) Boiler #2 is a Keeler CP un its with heat input
76.4 MMBTU/hr that combust both na tural gas and #6 fuel oil (iii)Boiler #3: The Central Steam Plant (CSP) Bo iler #3 is a Keeler CP units with heat input
76.4 MMBTU/hr that combust both na tural gas and #6 fuel oil 2) This approval authorizes

A. Installation of the following

(i) CCA burner modifications shall be performe d on each boiler, including each of the following:

a. Installation of staged flame stabilizers (a.k.a. swirlers).
b. Redesign and replacement of the atomizers.

c. Replacement of the center-fired gas injection rings with gas manifolds having center-fired and poke r gas injection.
d. Installation of a NO
x tempering system (water injection).
B. Emission limits

(i) The combined heat input for Boilers #1, #2, and #3 shall not exceed 673,894 MMBTU per rolling 12-month period. (ii) Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)emissions from each boiler shall not exceed the following (a) 0.067 lbs/MMBTU while burning natural gas. Compliance shall be determined based on stack test and shall be the average of three one hour separate test runs for
each source. (b) 0.40 lbs/MMBTU while burning No.6 fuel o il. Compliance shall be determined based on stack test and shall be the average of three one hour separate test runs for
each source. (c) Nitrogen Oxides (NO
x ) emissions from Boilers #1, #2, and #3 combined shall not
exceed 56.3 lbs/hr. (iii)During the ozone season (April 1 – October 31), each boiler shall burn natural gas as the primary fuel. Each boiler may only burn No. 6 fuel oil during periods of gas curtailment and natural gas interruption.

3) Testing Requirements

A. Temple University – Health Sciences Campus shall conduct a NOx performance test on each of the three boilers every five years wh ile burning No. 6 oil and natural gas.
B. At least (30) days prior to the test, Temple universtiy shall sumbit to AMS for approval the procedures for the test and sketch with dimen tions indicating the loctation of sampling ports
and other data to ensure the coll ection of representative samplesPLAN APPROVAL Temple University – Hea lth Sciences Campus Page 3

1 / 9 / 1 5 4) Monitoring, Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements

A. Temple University shall maintain a file cont aining all the records and the data that are required to be collected to demonstrate comp liance with NOx RACT requirement of 25 PA Code §129.91-129.94
B. The records shall provide sufficient data and ca lculations to clearly demonstrate that the requirements of §129.91-129.94 are met
C. Data or information required to determine compliance shall be recorded and maintained in a
time frame consistent with the aver aging period of the requirement.
D. Temple shall monitor and record the monthly fuel usage for each boiler
E. Temple shall monitor and record verification of compliance with the NOx emission limits. Compliance with the NOx limit shall be based on AMS approved stack test data.
F. Temple shall keep records of the fuel mani fests documenting the nitrogen content of No. 6
fuel oil.
G. Temple shall keep hourly records of NOx emissi ons from the boilers ca lculated on a weekly
basis.
H. Temple shall keep records of the reasoning of burning fuel oil during the ozone season (April 1 – October 31),
I. Temple shall monitor and record the combined heat input of the boile rs per rolling 12-month period.
J. Records shall be retained for at least two years and shall be made available to AMS on request.

5) RACT Implementation Schedule

A. Upon issuance of this approval Temple Universi ty – Health Sciences Campus shall begin immediate implementation of the measures ne cessary to comply w ith the approved RACT proposal.

6) 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 e quipment recording visual observations, as the Department deems necessary and proper for pe rforming its duties and for the effective
enforcement of the Air Pollution Control Act.

7) Revisions to any conditions approved as RACT by EPAwill require resubmission as revision to the PA State Implementation Plan. The applican t shall bear the cost of public hearing and notification required for EPA approval as stipulated in 25 PA Code §129.91(h).
