11. Construction of New Sources(s) and Authorization to Install

a) This permit does not constitute an assurance that the proposed source will operate in 

compliance with all Ohio laws and regulations. This permit does not constitute expressed or 

implied assurance that the proposed facility has been constructed in accordance with the 

application and terms and conditions of this permit. The action of beginning and/or completing 

construction prior to obtaining the Director's approval constitutes a violation of OAC rule 3745-

31-02. Furthermore, issuance of this permit does not constitute an assurance that the proposed 

source will operate in compliance with all Ohio laws and regulations. Issuance of this permit is

Director within a reasonable time before the termination date and the permittee shows good 

cause for any such extension.

c) The permittee may notify Ohio EPA of any emissions unit that is permanently shut down (i.e., 

the emissions unit has been physically removed from service or has been altered in such a way 

that it can no longer operate without a subsequent "modification" or "installation" as defined in 

OAC Chapter 3745-31) by submitting a certification from the authorized official that identifies the 

date on which the emissions unit was permanently shut down. Authorization to operate the 

affected emissions unit shall cease upon the date certified by the authorized official that the 

emissions unit was permanently shut down. At a minimum, notification of permanent shut down 

shall be made or confirmed by marking the affected emissions unit(s) as “permanently shut 

down” in “Air Services” along with the date the emissions unit(s) was permanently removed 

and/or disabled. Submitting the facility profile update electronically will constitute notifying the 

Director of the permanent shutdown of the affected emissions unit(s).

d) The provisions of this permit shall cease to be enforceable for each affected emissions unit after 

the date on which an emissions unit is permanently shut down (i.e., emissions unit has been 

physically removed from service or has been altered in such a way that it can no longer operate 

without a subsequent "modification" or "installation" as defined in OAC Chapter 3745-31). All 

records relating to any permanently shutdown emissions unit, generated while the emissions 

unit was in operation, must be maintained in accordance with law. All reports required by this 

permit must be submitted for any period an affected emissions unit operated prior to permanent 

shut down. At a minimum, the permit requirements must be evaluated as part of the reporting 

requirements identified in this permit covering the last period the emissions unit operated.

Unless otherwise exempted,no emissions unit certified by the responsible official as being 

permanently shut down may resume operation without first applying for and obtaining a permit 

pursuant to OAC Chapter 3745-31 and OAC Chapter 3745-77 if the restarted operation is 

subject to one or more applicable requirements.

e) The permittee shall comply with any residual requirements related to this permit, such as the 

requirement to submit a deviation report, air fee emission report, or other any reporting required 

by this permit for the period the operating provisions of this permit were enforceable, or as 

required by regulation or law. All reports shall be submitted in a form and manner prescribed by 

the Director. All records relating to this permit must be maintained in accordance with law.

12. Permit-To-Operate Application

The permittee is required to apply for a Title V permit pursuant to OAC Chapter 3745-77. The 

permittee shall submit a complete Title V permit application or a complete Title V permit modification 

application within twelve (12) months after commencing operation of the emissions units covered by 

this permit. However, if operation of the proposed new or modified source(s) as authorized by this

b. The permittee has satisfied the Best Available Technology (BAT) requirements 

pursuant to Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) paragraph 3745-31-05(A)(3), as 

effective November 30, 2001, in this permit. On December 1, 2006, paragraph 

(A)(3) of OAC rule 3745-31-05 was revised to conform to the Ohio Revised Code 

(ORC) changes effective August 3, 2006 (Senate Bill 265 changes), such that 

BAT is no longer required by State regulations for National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards (NAAQS) pollutant(s) less than ten tons per year. However, that rule 

revision has not yet been approved by U.S. EPA as a revision to Ohio’s State 

Implementation Plan (SIP). Therefore, until the SIP revision occurs and the U.S. 

EPA approves the revisions to OAC rule 3745-31-05, the requirement to satisfy 

BAT still exists as part of the federally-approved SIP for Ohio. Once U.S. EPA 

approves the December 1, 2006 version of OAC rule 3745-31-05, then these 

emission limitations/control measures no longer apply.

c. This rule paragraph applies once U.S. EPA approves the December 1, 2006 

version of OAC rule 3745-31-05 as part of the State Implementation Plan.

The Best Available Technology (BAT) requirements under OAC rule 3745-31-

05(A)(3) do not apply to the NOx, PM10/PM2.5, SO2, and VOC emissions from this 

air contaminant source since the uncontrolled potential to emit for NOx, 

PM10/PM2.5, SO2, and VOC is less than 10 tons per year .

d. All particulate emissions are assumed to be less than 2.5 microns in diameter. 

The PM10/PM2.5 emission limitations include both filterable and condensable 

particulate emissions.

e. The lb/mmBtu and lb/hr emission limitations are based on the emissions unit's 

potentials to emit. Therefore, no monitoring, record keeping, and reporting 

requirements are necessary to ensure ongoing compliance with these emission 

limitations.

f. The emission limitation required by this applicable rule is less stringent than the 

emission limitation established by OAC rule 3745-31-10 through 20.

g. 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart A provides applicability provisions, definitions, and 

other general provisions that are pertinent to emissions units affected by 40 CFR 

Part 60.

h. This rule does not establish emission limitations for natural gas-fired boilers, but 

does require record keeping of gas usage per 40 CFR 60.48c(g).

i. This emissions unit is subject to the applicable provisions of Subpart Dc of the 

New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) as promulgated by the United 

States Environmental Protection Agency, 40 CFR Part 60. The application and 

enforcement of these standards are delegated to the Ohio EPA. The 

requirements of 40 CFR Part 60 are also federally enforceable.

j. This emissions unit is exempt from the requirements of this rule per 40 CFR 

63.11195(e) due tocombusting only natural gas.

k. The maximum annual operating hours for this emissions unit shall not exceed 

4,500 hours per rolling, 12-monthperiod.

a. Emission Limitation:

CO emissions shall not exceed 0.055 lb/mmBtu of heat input (HHV), 5.45 lbs/hr, 

and 12.25 tons per rolling, 12-month period.

Applicable Compliance Method:

The lb/mmBtu emission limitation is based on manufacturer’s data (HHV). The 

hourly emission limitation was developed by multiplying the maximum heat input 

(99 mmBtu/hr) by the CO emission factor supplied by the manufacturer (0.055 

lb/mmBtu) to determine the hourly emissions.

The annual CO emission limitation was developed by multiplying the hourly 

emission limitation (5.45 lbs/hr) by the maximum annual operating hours (4,500 

hrs/yr) and dividing by 2,000 pounds per ton. Therefore, compliance with the

annual limitation shall be demonstrated if compliance with the hourly limitation is 

shown.

Compliance with the short-term emission limitations shall be demonstrated based 

upon the emission test required in f)(2).

b. Emission Limitation:

NOx emissions shall not exceed 0.020 lb/mmBtu of heat input (HHV), 1.98 lbs/hr, 

and 4.46 tons per rolling, 12-month period.

Applicable Compliance Method:

The lb/mmBtu limitation is based on manufacturer’s data (HHV). The hourly 

emission limitation was developed by multiplying the maximum heat input (99 

mmBtu/hr) by the NOx emission factor supplied by the manufacturer (0.020 

lb/mmBtu) to determine the hourly emissions.

The annual NOx emission limitation was developed by multiplying the hourly 

emission limitation (1.98 lbs/hr) by the maximum annual operating hours (4,500 

hrs/yr) and dividing by 2,000 pounds per ton. Therefore, compliance with the 

annual limitation shall be demonstrated if compliance with the hourly limitation is 

shown.

Compliance with the short-term emission limitations shall be demonstrated based 

upon the emission test required in f)(2).

c. Emission Limitation:

PM10 and PM2.5 shall not exceed 0.008 lb/mmBtu of heat input (HHV), 0.79 lb/hr, 

and 1.78 ton per rolling, 12-month period.

Applicable Compliance Method:

The lb/mmBtu limitation is based on manufacturer’s data (HHV). The hourly 

emission limitation was developed by multiplying the maximum heat input (99 

mmBtu/hr) by the PM10/PM2.5 emission factor supplied by the manufacturer 

(0.008 lb/mmBtu) to determine the hourly emissions. 

If required, the permittee shall demonstrate compliance with the lb/mmBtu and 

hourly emission limitations using Methods 201 or 201A and 202 of 40 CFR Part 

51, Appendix M. Alternative U.S. EPA-approved test methods may be used with 

prior approval from the Ohio EPA.

The annual PM10/PM2.5 emission limitation was developed by multiplying the 

hourly emission limitation (0.79 lb/hr) by the maximum annual operating hours 

(4,500 hrs/yr) and dividing by 2,000 pounds per ton. Therefore, compliance with 

the annual limitation shall be demonstrated if compliance with the hourly 

limitation is shown.

Page 20 of 69

d. Emission Limitation:

SO2 emissions shall not exceed 2.9E-03 lb/mmBtu of heat input (HHV) and 0.65 

ton/yr.

Applicable Compliance Method:

The lb/mmBtu limitation (HHV) was established based on using natural gas 

having a maximum sulfur content of 1.0 grain per 100 cubic feet according to the 

following calculation. Multiply the maximum sulfur content of natural gas (1.0 

grain S/100 scf) by the molecular weight of SO2 (64.07 lb SO2/lb-mole) divide by 

the molecular weight of sulfur (32.06 lb S/lb-mole) divide by (7,000 grains/lb), 

divide by (1,000 Btu/scf), and multiply by (106 Btu/mmBtu).

If required, the permittee shall demonstrate compliance with the lb/mmBtu 

emission limitation using Methods 1 thru 4 and 6C of 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix 

A. Alternative U.S. EPA-approved test methods may be used with prior approval 

from the Ohio EPA.

The annual emission limitation was developed by multiplying the lb/mmBtu 

emission limitation (2.9E-03 lb/mmBtu) by the maximum heat input (99 

mmBtu/hr), multiplied by the maximum operating hours (4,500 hrs/yr) and then 

dividing by 2,000 pounds per ton. Therefore compliance with the annual 

limitation shall be demonstrated if compliance with the hourly limitation is shown.

e. Emission Limitation:

VOC emissions shall not exceed 0.006 lb/mmBtu of heat input, 0.59 lb/hr, and 

1.34 ton per rolling, 12-month period.

Applicable Compliance Method:

The lb/mmBtu limitation is based on manufacturer’s data (HHV). The hourly 

emission limitation was developed by multiplying the maximum heat input (99 

mmBtu/hr) by the VOC emission factor supplied by the manufacturer (0.006 

lb/mmBtu) to determine the hourly emissions.

If required, the permittee shall demonstrate compliance with the lb/mmBtu and 

hourly emission limitations using Methods 1 through 4 and 18, 25 or 25A, as 

appropriate, of 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A. Use of Method 18, 25 or 25A is to 

be selected based on the results of pre-survey stack sampling and U.S. EPA 

guidance documents. Alternative U.S. EPA-approved test methods may be used 

with prior approval from the Ohio EPA.

The annual emission limitation was developed by multiplying the hourly emission 

limitation (0.59 lb/hr) by the maximum annual operating hours (4,500 hrs/yr) and 

dividing by 2,000 pounds per ton. Therefore, compliance with the annual 

limitation shall be demonstrated if compliance with the hourly limitation is 

maintained.

f. Emission Limitation:

H2SO4 emissions shall not exceed 2.2E-04 lb/mmBtu (HHV), 0.02 lb/hr, and 0.05 

ton per rolling, 12-month period.

Applicable Compliance Method:

The lb/mmBtu emission limitation is based on the assumption that 5% of the SO2

emissions are converted to SO3 and then converted to H2SO4 when combined 

with water vapor by the following calculation.

2.9E-03 lb SO2/mmBtu(0.05)(98 lb H2SO4/lb-mole)(lb-mole/64 lb SO2) = 2.2E-04 

lb H2SO4/mmBtu

Multiply the lb H2SO4/mmBtu (2.2E-04 lb/mmBtu) by the maximum heat input (99 

mmBtu/hr) to determine the maximum hourly H2SO4 emissions (0.02 lb/hr), and 

multiply by the maximum annual hours of operation (4,500 hrs/yr) divided by 

2,000 lbs/ton to determine the annual H2SO4 emissions (0.05 ton/yr).

If required, the permittee shall demonstrate compliance with thelb/mmBtu and 

lb/hr emission limitations using Methods 1 thru 4 and 8 of 40 CFR Part 60, 

Appendix A.

g. Emission Limitation:

CO2e emissions shall not exceed 26,259.76 tons per rolling, 12-month period.

Applicable Compliance Method:

This emission limitation was established to reflect the potential to emit for this 

emissions unit by calculating the sum of the product of the maximum natural gas 

firing rate (99 mmBtu/hr) multiplied by the AP-42 emission factor for CO2, N2O, 

and CH4from Table 1.4-2 dated 7/98 (120,000 lb/mmscf, 0.64 lb/mmscf, and 2.3 

lb/mmscf, respectively), multiplied by the global warming potential for CO2, N2O, 

and CH4 (1, 310, and 21, respectively from Table A-1 to Subpart A of 40 CFR 

Part 98). Divide by the average heating value used for AP-42 emission factors in 

Table 1.-42 dated 7/98 (1,020 Btu/scf), multiply by the maximum annual hours of 

operation (4,500 hrs/yr) and divide by 2,000 pounds per ton.

Since the CO2e emissions are estimated to consist of more than 99% CO2, 

compliance with this emission limitation will be assumed provided that the lb/scf 

CO2 emission rate does not exceed 120,000 lb/mmscf.

If required, the permittee shall conduct emissions testing using Methods 1, 2, 3A 

and 4 of 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A to determine the lb/scf CO2 emission rate. 

Alternative U.S. EPA-approved test methods may be used with prior approval 

from the Ohio EPA.

h. Emission Limitation:

Visible particulate emissions from the stack serving this emissions unit shall not 

exceed 10% opacity as a 6-minute average.

Applicable Compliance Method:

If required, compliance with the stack visible particulate emission limitation shall 

be demonstrated through visible emission observations performed in accordance 

with the methods and procedures specified in40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A, 

Method 9.

(2) The permittee shall conduct, or have conducted, emission testing for this emissions unit 

in accordance with the following requirements:

be circumstances where a lower emissions loading is deemed the most 

challenging control scenario. Failure to test under these conditions is justification 

for not accepting the test results as a demonstration of compliance.

e. Not later than 30 days prior to the proposed test date(s), the permittee shall 

submit an "Intent to Test" notification to the Ohio EPA Northeast District Office. 

The "Intent to Test" notification shall describe in detail the proposed test methods 

and procedures, the emissions unit operating parameters, the time(s) and date(s) 

of the test(s), and the person(s) who will be conducting the test(s). Failure to 

submit such notification for review and approval prior to the test(s) may result in 

the Ohio EPA Northeast District Office's refusal to accept the results of the 

emission test(s).

f. Personnel from the Ohio EPA Northeast District Office shall be permitted to 

witness the test(s), examine the testing equipment, and acquire data and 

information necessary to ensure that the operation of the emissions unit and the 

testing procedures provide a valid characterization of the emissions from the 

emissions unit and/or the performance of the control equipment.

g. A comprehensive written report on the results of the emissions test(s) shall be 

signed by the person or persons responsible for the tests and submitted to the 

Ohio EPA Northeast District Office within 30 days following completion of the 

test(s). The permittee may request additional time for the submittal of the written 

report, where warranted, with prior approval from the appropriate Ohio EPA 

District Northeast Office.

(2) Additional Terms and Conditions

a. Compliance with the requirements of this rule for CO, NOx, PM10, PM2.5, and VOC 

emissions includes compliance with the requirements of OAC rule 3745-31-10 

through 20.

b. The permittee has satisfied the Best Available Technology (BAT) requirements 

pursuant to Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) paragraph 3745-31-05(A)(3), as 

effective November 30, 2001, in this permit. On December 1, 2006, paragraph 

(A)(3) of OAC rule 3745-31-05 was revised to conform to the Ohio Revised Code 

(ORC) changes effective August 3, 2006 (Senate Bill 265 changes), such that 

BAT is no longer required by State regulations for National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards (NAAQS) pollutant(s) less than ten tons per year. However, that rule 

revision has not yet been approved by U.S. EPA as a revision to Ohio’s State 

Implementation Plan (SIP). Therefore, until the SIP revision occurs and the U.S. 

EPA approves the revisions to OAC rule 3745-31-05, the requirement to satisfy 

BAT still exists as part of the federally-approved SIP for Ohio. Once U.S. EPA 

approves the December 1, 2006 version of OAC rule 3745-31-05, then these 

emission limitations/control measures no longer apply.

c. This rule paragraph applies once U.S. EPA approves the December 1, 2006 

version of OAC rule 3745-31-05 as part of the State Implementation Plan.

The Best Available Technology (BAT) requirements under OAC rule 3745-31-

05(A)(3) do not apply to the CO, NOx, PM10/PM2.5, SO2, and VOC emissions from 

this air contaminant source since the uncontrolled potential to emit for CO, NOx, 

PM10/PM2.5, SO2, and VOC is less than 10 tons per year taking into account the 

federally enforceable emission limitations and operating hours restriction 

specified by OAC rule 3745-31-10 through 20.

d. All particulate emissions are assumed to be less than 2.5 microns in diameter. 

The PM10/PM2.5 emission limitations include both filterable and condensable 

particulate emissions.

e. The maximum annual operating hours for this emissions unit shall not exceed 

500 hours, based upon a rolling, 12-month summation of the operating hours.

To ensure enforceability during the first 12 calendar months of operation or the 

first 12 calendar months following the issuance of this permit, the permittee shall 

not exceed the operating hours levels specified in the following table:

a. Emission Limitation:

CO emissions shall not exceed 3.5 g/kW-hr, 8.57 lbs/hr, and 2.14 tons per rolling, 

12-month period.

Applicable Compliance Method:

The g/kW-hr limitation is based on the Tier 2 emission standards under 40 CFR 

89.112(a), Subpart B, Table 1. The hourly emission limitation was developed by 

multiplying the maximum operating load (1,112 kW) by the CO emission factor 

supplied by the manufacturer (3.5 g/kW-hr) and dividing by (454 g/lb) to 

determine the hourly emissions.

If required, the permittee shall demonstrate compliance with the g/kW-hr 

limitation and hourly emission limitation using Methods 1 thru 4 and 10 of 40 CFR 

Part 60, Appendix A. Alternative U.S. EPA-approved test methods may be used 

with prior approval from the Ohio EPA.

The annual emission limitation was developed by multiplying the hourly emission 

limitation (8.57 lbs/hr) by the maximum annual operating hours (500 hrs/yr) and 

dividing by 2,000 pounds per ton. Therefore, compliance with the annual 

limitation shall be demonstrated if compliance with the hourly limitation and 

operating hours restriction is shown.

b. Emission Limitation:

NOx emissions shall not exceed 5.61 g/kW-hr, 13.74lbs/hr, and 3.44 tons per 

rolling, 12-month period.

Applicable Compliance Method:

The g/kW-hr limitation is based on the combined NOx + NMHC emission 

limitation specified by the Tier 2 standard in 40 CFR 89.112(a) Table 1 (6.4 

g/kW-hr) multiplied by the Tier 1 emission limitation for NOx in Table 1 (9.2 g/kWhr) divided by the sum of the Tier 1 emission limitations for NOx and HC in Table 

1 (9.2 g/kW-hr + 1.3 g/kW-hr). The hourly emission limitation was developed by 

multiplying the maximum operating load (1,112 kW) by the NOx g/kW-hr emission 

limitation (5.61 g/kW-hr) divided by (454 g/lb) to determine the hourly emissions.

If required, the permittee shall demonstrate compliance with the g/kW-hr 

limitation and hourly emission limitation using Methods 1 thru 4 and 7E of 40 

CFR Part 60, Appendix A. Alternative U.S. EPA-approved test methods may be 

used with prior approval from the Ohio EPA.

The annual emission limitation was developed by multiplying the hourly emission 

limitation (13.74 lbs/hr) by the maximum annual operating hours (500 hrs/yr) and 

dividing by 2,000 pounds per ton. Therefore, compliance with the annual 

limitation shall be demonstrated if compliance with the hourly limitation and 

operating hours restriction is shown.

c. Emission Limitation:

PM10/PM2.5 emissions shall not exceed 0.20 g/kW-hr, 0.49lb/hr, and 0.12 ton per 

rolling, 12-month period.

Applicable Compliance Method:

The g/kW-hr limitation is based on manufacturer’s emissions data. The hourly 

emission limitation was developed by multiplying the maximum operating load 

(1,112 kW) by the PM10/PM2.5 emission factor supplied by the manufacturer (0.20 

g/kW-hr) divided by (454 g/lb) to determine the hourly emissions.

If required, the permittee shall demonstrate compliance with the g/kW-hr 

limitation and hourly emission limitation using Methods 201 or 201A and 202 of 

40 CFR Part 51, Appendix M. Alternative U.S. EPA-approved test methods may 

be used with prior approval from the Ohio EPA.

The annual emission limitation was developed by multiplying the hourly emission 

limitation (0.49 lb/hr) by the maximum annual operating hours (500 hrs/yr) and 

dividing by 2,000 pounds per ton. Therefore, compliance with the annual 

limitation shall be demonstrated if compliance with the hourly limitation and 

operating hours restriction is shown.

d. Emission Limitation:

SO2 emissions shall not exceed 0.02 lb/hr and 0.005 ton/yr.

Applicable Compliance Method:

The hourly emission limitation is based dividing the AP-42 emission factor for

SO2 from AP-42 Table 3.4-1 dated 10/96 whenburning diesel fuel with a 

maximum sulfur content of 15 ppmw (0.0015 lb/mmBtu) by (106 Btu/mmBtu) 

multiplied by (7,000 Btu/hp-hr) and multiplied by the maximum power rating 

(1,491 hp).

If required, the permittee shall demonstrate compliance with the hourly emission 

limitation using Methods 1 thru 4 and 6C of 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A. 

Alternative U.S. EPA-approved test methods may be used with prior approval 

from the Ohio EPA.

The annual emission limitation was developed by multiplying the hourly emission 

limitation (0.02 lb/hr) by the maximum annual operating hours (500 hrs/yr) and 

dividing by 2,000 pounds per ton. Therefore, compliance with the annual 

limitation shall be demonstrated if compliance with the hourly limitation and 

operating hours restriction is shown.

e. Emission Limitation:

VOC emissions shall not exceed 0.79 g/kW-hr, 1.93 lbs/hr, and 0.48 ton per 

rolling, 12-month period.

Carroll County Energy LLC

Permit Number: P0113762

Facility ID: 0210002025

Effective Date:11/5/2013

Page 31 of 69

Applicable Compliance Method:

The g/kW-hr limitation is based on the combined NOx + NMHC emission 

limitation specified by the Tier 2 standard in 40 CFR 89.112(a) Table 1 (6.4 

g/kW-hr) multiplied by the Tier 1 emission limitation for NMHC in Table 1 (1.3 

g/kW-hr) divided by the sum of the Tier 1 emission limitations for NOx and HC in 

Table 1 (9.2 g/kW-hr + 1.3 g/kW-hr). The hourly emission limitation was 

developed by multiplying the maximum operating load (1,112 kW) by the VOC 

emission factor supplied by the manufacturer (0.79 g/kW-hr) to determine the 

hourly emissions.

If required, the permittee shall demonstrate compliance with the g/kW-hr 

limitation and hourly emission limitation usingMethods 1 through 4 and 18, 25 or 

25A, as appropriate, of 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A. Use of Method 18, 25 or 

25A is to be selected based on the results of pre-survey stack sampling and U.S. 

EPA guidance documents. Alternative U.S. EPA-approved test methods may be 

used with prior approval from the Ohio EPA.

The annual emission limitation was developed by multiplying the hourly emission 

limitation (1.93 lbs/hr) by the maximum annual operating hours (500 hrs/yr) and 

dividing by 2,000 pounds per ton. Therefore, compliance with the annual 

limitation shall be demonstrated if compliance with the hourly limitation and 

operating hours restriction is shown.

f. Emission Limitation:

H2SO4 emissions shall not exceed 1.32E-04 g/kW-hr, 3.23E-04 lb/hr and 8.08E05 ton per rolling, 12-month period.

Applicable Compliance Method:

The g/kW-hr emission is based on the sulfuric acid mist emission factor from 

page 276 of Toxic Air Pollution Emission Factors, EPA 450/2-90-011 (8.9 ng/J x 

%sulfur in fuel = 8.9(0.0015) = 0.01335 ng/J). The H2SO4 emission factor 

(0.01335 ng/J) was converted to g/kW-hr by multiplying by (1055.1 J/Btu), 

multiplying by (7000 Btu/hp-hr), multiplying by (g/109ng), and multiplying by 

(1.341 hp/kW) = 1.32E-04 g/kW-hr.

The pound per hour emissions limitation was developed by multiplying the g/kWhr allowable H2SO4 emission limitation (1.32E-04 g/kW-hr) by the maximum 

operating load (1,112 kW) and divided by 454 grams per pound to determine the 

hourly emissions (3.23E-04 lb/hr).

If required, the permittee shall demonstrate compliance with the g/kW-hr and 

lb/hr emission limitation using Methods 1 thru 4 and 8 of 40 CFR Part 60, 

Appendix A. Alternative U.S. EPA-approved test methods may be used with 

prior approval from the Ohio EPA.

The ton per year emission limitation was developed by multiplying the hourly 

allowable H2SO4 emission limitation (3.23E-04 lb/hr) by the maximum annual

hours of operation (500 hours), and then dividing by 2,000 pounds per ton. 

Therefore, compliance with the annual limitation shall be demonstrated if 

compliance with the hourly limitation and operating hours restriction is shown.

g. Emission Limitation:

CO2e emissions shall not exceed 433.96 tons per rolling, 12-month period.

Applicable Compliance Method:

This emissions limitation was established to reflect the potential to emit for this 

emissions unit by calculating the sum of the maximum capacity (1,491 hp) by the 

emission factor for CO2, N2O, and CH4, multiplied by the global warming potential 

for CO2, N2O, and CH4 (1, 310, and 21, respectively from Table A-1 to Subpart A 

of 40 CFR 98). Multiply the sum by the maximum annual hours of operation (500 

hrs/yr) and divide by 2,000 pounds per ton. The CO2 emission factor was 

obtained from AP-42 Table 3.4-1 dated 10/96 (1.16 lb/hp-hr). The N2O emission 

factor was obtained from 40 Table C-2 to Subpart C of 40 CFR 98 (0.6 

g/mmBtu). The CH4 emission factor was obtained from AP-42 Table 3.4-1 dated 

10/96 (7.05E-04 lb TOC/hp-hr x 0.09 lb CH4/lb TOC = 6.34E-05 lb CH4/hp-hr).

Since the CO2e emissions are estimated to consist of more than 99% CO2, 

compliance with this emission limitation will be assumed provided that the lb/hphr CO2 emission rate does not exceed 1.16 lb/hp-hr. If required, the permittee 

shall conduct emissions testing using Methods 1, 2, 3A and 4 of 40 CFR Part 60, 

Appendix A to determine the lb/hp-hr CO2 emission rate. Alternative U.S. EPAapproved test methods may be used with prior approval from the Ohio EPA.

h. Emission Limitation:

The permittee shall only combust diesel fuel in this emissions unit meeting the 

following per gallon standard: 15 ppm maximum sulfur content

Applicable Compliance Method:

The records required by d)(2) shall be used to demonstrate compliance.

i. Emission Limitation:

The permittee shall only combust ultra low sulfur diesel fuel in this emissions unit 

meeting the following per gallon standard: a minimum cetane index of 40 or a 

maximum aromatic content of 35 volume percent.

(2) Additional Terms and Conditions

a. Compliance with the requirements of this rule for CO, NOx, PM10, PM2.5, and VOC 

emissions includes compliance with the requirements of OAC rule 3745-31-10 

through 20.

b. The permittee has satisfied the Best Available Technology (BAT) requirements 

pursuant to Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) paragraph 3745-31-05(A)(3), as 

effective November 30, 2001, in this permit. On December 1, 2006, paragraph 

(A)(3) of OAC rule 3745-31-05 was revised to conform to the Ohio Revised Code 

(ORC) changes effective August 3, 2006 (Senate Bill 265 changes), such that 

BAT is no longer required by State regulations for National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards (NAAQS) pollutant(s) less than ten tons per year. However, that rule 

revision has not yet been approved by U.S. EPA as a revision to Ohio’s State 

Implementation Plan (SIP). Therefore, until the SIP revision occurs and the U.S. 

EPA approves the revisions to OAC rule 3745-31-05, the requirement to satisfy 

BAT still exists as part of the federally-approved SIP for Ohio. Once U.S. EPA 

approves the December 1, 2006 version of OAC rule 3745-31-05, then these 

emission limitations/control measures no longer apply.

c. This rule paragraph applies once U.S. EPA approves the December 1, 2006 

version of OAC rule 3745-31-05 as part of the State Implementation Plan.

The Best Available Technology (BAT) requirements under OAC rule 3745-31-

05(A)(3) do not apply to the CO, NOx, PM10/PM2.5, SO2, and VOC emissions from 

this air contaminant source since the uncontrolled potential to emit for CO, NOx, 

PM10/PM2.5, SO2, and VOC is less than 10 tons per year taking into consideration 

the federally enforceable emission limitations and operating hours restriction 

specified by OAC rule 3745-31-10 through 20.

d. All particulate emissions are assumed to be less than 2.5 microns in diameter. 

The PM10/PM2.5 emission limitations include both filterable and condensable 

particulate emissions.

e. The maximum annual operating hours for this emissions unit shall not exceed 

500 hours, based upon a rolling, 12-month summation of the operating hours.

To ensure enforceability during the first 12 calendar months of operation or the 

first 12 calendar months following the issuance of this permit, the permittee shall 

not exceed the operating hours levels specified in the following table:

a. Emission Limitation:

CO emissions shall not exceed 3.5 g/kW-hr, 2.3 lbs/hr, and 0.57 ton per rolling, 

12-month period.

Applicable Compliance Method:

The g/kW-hr limitation is based on the standard specified in Table 4 to 40 CFR 

Part 60, Subpart IIII. The hourly emission limitation was developed by multiplying 

the maximum operating load (298 kW) by the g/kW-hr CO emission limitation (3.5 

g/kW-hr) divided by (454 g/lb) to determine the hourly emissions.

If required, the permittee shall demonstrate compliance with the g/kW-hr 

limitation and hourly emission limitation using Methods 1 thru 4 and 10 of 40 CFR 

Part 60, Appendix A. Alternative U.S. EPA-approved test methods may be used 

with prior approval from the Ohio EPA.

The annual emission limitation was developed by multiplying the hourly emission 

limitation (2.3 lbs/hr) by the maximum annual operating hours (500 hrs/yr) and 

dividing by 2,000 pounds per ton. Therefore, compliance with the annual 

limitation shall be demonstrated if compliance with the hourly limitation and 

operating hours restriction is shown.

b. Emission Limitation:

NOx emissions shall not exceed 3.5 g/kW-hr, 2.3 lbs/hr, and 0.57 ton per rolling, 

12-month period.

Applicable Compliance Method:

The g/kW-hr limitation is based on the combined NOx + NMHC emission 

limitation specified by the Table 2 to 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart IIII (4.0 g/kW-hr) 

multiplied by the Tier 1 emission limitation for NOx in Table 1 to 40 CFR 

89.112(a) (9.2 g/kW-hr) divided by the sum of the Tier 1 emission limitations for

NOx and HC in Table 1 to 40 CFR 89.112(a) (9.2 g/kW-hr + 1.3 g/kW-hr). The 

hourly emission limitation was developed by multiplying the maximum operating 

load (298 kW) by the g/kW-hr NOx emission limitation (3.5 g/kW-hr) divided by 

(454 g/lb) to determine the hourly emissions.

If required, the permittee shall demonstrate compliance with the g/kW-hr 

limitation and hourly emission limitation using Methods 1 thru 4 and 7E of 40 

CFR Part 60, Appendix A. Alternative U.S. EPA-approved test methods may be 

used with prior approval from the Ohio EPA.

The annual emission limitation was developed by multiplying the hourly emission 

limitation (2.3 lbs/hr) by the maximum annual operating hours (500 hrs/yr) and 

dividing by 2,000 pounds per ton. Therefore, compliance with the annual 

limitation shall be demonstrated if compliance with the hourly limitation and 

operating hours restriction is shown.

c. Emission Limitation:

PM10/PM2.5 emissions shall not exceed 0.20 g/kW-hr, 0.131 lb/hr, and 0.033 ton 

per rolling, 12-month period.

Applicable Compliance Method:

The g/kW-hr limitation is based on manufacturer’s emissions data. The hourly 

emission limitation was developed by multiplying the maximum operating load 

(298 kW) by the PM10/PM2.5 emission factor supplied by the manufacturer (0.20 

g/kW-hr) divided by (454 g/lb) to determine the hourly emissions.

If required, the permittee shall demonstrate compliance with the g/kW-hr 

limitation and hourly emission limitation using Methods 201 or 201A and 202 of 

40 CFR Part 51, Appendix M. Alternative U.S. EPA-approved test methods may 

be used with prior approval from the Ohio EPA.

The annual emission limitation was developed by multiplying the hourly emission 

limitation (0.131 lb/hr) by the maximum annual operating hours (500 hrs/yr) and 

dividing by 2,000 pounds per ton. Therefore, compliance with the annual 

limitation shall be demonstrated if compliance with the hourly limitation is shown.

d. Emission Limitation:

SO2 emissions shall not exceed 0.004 lb/hr and 1.0E-03 ton/yr.

Applicable Compliance Method:

The hourly emission limitation is based dividing the AP-42 emission factor for

SO2 from AP-42 Table 3.4-1 dated 10/96 whenburning diesel fuel with a 

maximum sulfur content of 15 ppmw (0.0015 lb/mmBtu) by (106 Btu/mmBtu) 

multiplied by (7,000 Btu/hp-hr) and multiplied by the maximum power rating (400 

hp).

If required, the permittee shall demonstrate compliance with the hourly emission 

limitation using Methods 1 thru 4 and 6C of 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A. 

Alternative U.S. EPA-approved test methods may be used with prior approval 

from the Ohio EPA.

The annual emission limitation was developed by multiplying the hourly emission 

limitation (0.004 lb/hr) by the maximum annual operating hours (500 hrs/yr) and 

dividing by 2,000 pounds per ton. Therefore, compliance with the annual 

limitation shall be demonstrated if compliance with the hourly limitation is shown.

e. Emission Limitation:

VOC emissions shall not exceed 0.50 g/kW-hr, 0.325 lb/hr, and 0.08 ton/yr as a 

rolling, 12-month summation of the monthly emissions.

Applicable Compliance Method:

The g/kW-hr limitation is based on the combined NOx + NMHC emission 

limitation specified by the Table 2 to 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart IIII (4.0 g/kW-hr) 

multiplied by the Tier 1 emission limitation for NMHC in Table 1 to 40 CFR 

89112(a) (1.3 g/kW-hr) divided by the sum of the Tier 1 emission limitations for 

NOx and HC in Table 1 to 40 CFR 89.112(a) (9.2 g/kW-hr + 1.3 g/kW-hr). The 

hourly emission limitation was developed by multiplying the maximum operating 

load (298 kW) by the g/kW-hr VOC emission limitation (0.50 g/kW-hr) divided by 

(454 g/lb) to determine the hourly emissions.

If required, the permittee shall demonstrate compliance with the g/kW-hr 

limitation and hourly emission limitation using Methods 1 through 4 and 18, 25 or 

25A, as appropriate, of 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A. Use of Method 18, 25 or 

25A is to be selected based on the results of pre-survey stack sampling and U.S. 

EPA guidance documents. Alternative U.S. EPA-approved test methods may be 

used with prior approval from the Ohio EPA.

The annual emission limitation was developed by multiplying the hourly emission 

limitation (0.325 lb/hr) by the maximum annual operating hours (500 hrs/yr) and 

dividing by 2,000 pounds per ton. Therefore, compliance with the annual 

limitation shall be demonstrated if compliance with the hourly limitation is shown.

f. Emission Limitation:

H2SO4 emissions shall not exceed 1.32E-04 g/kW-hr, 8.7E-05 lb/hr and 2.2E-05 

ton per rolling, 12-month period.

Applicable Compliance Method:

The g/kW-hr emission is based on the sulfuric acid mist emission factor from 

page 276 of Toxic Air Pollution Emission Factors, EPA 450/2-90-011 (8.9 ng/J x 

%sulfur in fuel = 8.9(0.0015) = 0.01335 ng/J). The H2SO4 emission factor 

(0.01335 ng/J) was converted to g/kW-hr by multiplying by (1055.1 J/Btu), 

multiplying by (7000 Btu/hp-hr), multiplying by (g/109ng), and multiplying by 

(1.341 hp/kW) = 1.32E-04 g/kW-hr.

The pound per hour emissions limitation was developed by multiplying the g/kWhr allowable H2SO4 emission limitation (1.32E-04 g/kW-hr) by the maximum 

operating load (298 kW) and divided by 454 grams per pound to determine the 

hourly emissions (8.7E-05 lb/hr).

If required, the permittee shall demonstrate compliance with the g/kW-hr and 

lb/hr emission limitation using Methods 1 thru 4 and 8 of 40 CFR Part 60, 

Appendix A. Alternative U.S. EPA-approved test methods may be used with 

prior approval from the Ohio EPA.

The ton per year emission limitation was developed by multiplying the hourly 

allowable H2SO4 emission limitation (8.7E-05 lb/hr) by the maximum annual 

hours of operation (500 hours), and then dividing by 2,000 pounds per ton.

Therefore, compliance with the annual limitation shall be demonstrated if 

compliance with the hourly limitation and operating hours restriction is shown.

g. Emission Limitation:

CO2e emissions shall not exceed 115.75 tons per rolling, 12-month period.

Applicable Compliance Method:

This emissions limitation was established to reflect the potential to emit for this 

emissions unit by calculating the sum of the maximum capacity (400 hp) by the 

emission factor for CO2, N2O, and CH4, multiplied by the global warming potential 

for CO2, N2O, and CH4 (1, 310, and 21, respectively from Table A-1 to Subpart of 

40 CFR 98). Multiply the sum by the maximum annual hours of operation (500 

hrs/yr) and divide by 2,000 pounds per ton. The CO2 emission factor was 

obtained from AP-42 Table 3.3-1 dated 10/96 (1.15 lb/hp-hr). The N2O emission 

factor was obtained from Table C-2 to Subpart C of 40 CFR 98 (0.6 g/mmBtu). 

The CH4 emission factor was obtained from AP-42 Table 3.3-1 dated 10/96 

(2.47E-03 lb TOC/hp-hr (0.09 lb CH4/lb TOC)= 2.223E-04 lb CH4/hp-hr, this table 

did not include an estimate of how much methane comprises the TOC emission 

factor, so the value of 9% from AP-42 Table 3.4-1 dated 10/96 was used).

Since the CO2e emissions are estimated to consist of more than 99% CO2, 

compliance with this emission limitation will be assumed provided that the lb/hphr CO2 emission rate does not exceed 1.15 lb/hp-hr. If required, the permittee 

shall conduct emissions testing using Methods 1, 2, 3A and 4 of 40 CFR Part 60, 

Appendix A to determine the lb/hp-hr CO2 emission rate. Alternative U.S. EPAapproved test methods may be used with prior approval from the Ohio EPA.

h. Emission Limitation:

The permittee shall only combust ultra low sulfur diesel fuel in this emissions unit 

meeting the following per gallon standard: 15 ppm maximum sulfur content

Applicable Compliance Method:

The records required by d)(2) shall be used to demonstrate compliance.

i. Emission Limitation:

from fuel flow measurements to calculate hourly CO2 mass emission rates From this 

data, the permittee shall calculate the CO2 emissions from P001 and P002 per rolling, 

12-month period.

(11) The Permit to Install application for these emissions units, P001 and P002, was 

evaluated based on the actual materials and the design parameters of the emissions 

unit's(s’) exhaust system, as specified by the permittee. The “Toxic Air Contaminant 

Statute”, ORC 3704.03(F), was applied to this/these emissions unit(s) for each toxic air 

contaminant listed in OAC rule 3745-114-01, using data from the permit application; and 

modeling was performed for each toxic air contaminant(s) emitted at over one ton per 

year using an air dispersion model such as SCREEN3, AERMOD, or ISCST3, or other 

Ohio EPA approved model. The predicted 1-hour maximum ground-level concentration 

result(s) from the approved air dispersion model, was compared to the Maximum 

Acceptable Ground-Level Concentration (MAGLC), calculated as described in the Ohio 

EPA guidance document entitled “Review of New Sources of Air Toxic Emissions, 

Option A”, as follows:

a. the exposure limit, expressed as a time-weighted average concentration for a 

conventional 8-hour workday and a 40-hour workweek, for each toxic 

compound(s) emitted from the emissions unit(s), (as determined from the raw 

materials processed and/or coatings or other materials applied) has been 

documented from one of the following sources and in the following order of 

preference (TLV was and shall be used, if the chemical is listed):

i. threshold limit value (TLV) from the American Conference of 

Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) “Threshold Limit Values for

Chemical Substances and Physical Agents Biological Exposure Indices”; 

or 

ii. STEL (short term exposure limit) or the ceiling value from the American 

Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) “Threshold 

Limit Values for Chemical Substances and Physical Agents Biological

Exposure Indices”; the STEL or ceiling value is multiplied by 0.737 to 

convert the 15-minute exposure limit to an equivalent 8-hour TLV.

b. The TLV is divided by ten to adjust the standard from the working population to 

the general public (TLV/10).

c. This standard is/was then adjusted to account for the duration of the exposure or 

the operating hours of the emissions unit(s), i.e., “X = 24” hours per day and “Y = 

7” days per week, from that of 8 hours per day and 5 days per week. The 

resulting calculation was (and shall be) used to determine the Maximum 

Acceptable Ground-Level Concentration (MAGLC):

TLV/10 x 8/X x 5/Y = 4 TLV/XY = MAGLC

d. The following summarizes the results of dispersion modeling for the “worst case” 

toxic contaminant(s):

Toxic Contaminant: H2SO4

TLV (mg/m3): 0.2 mg/m3

Maximum Hourly Emission Rate (lbs/hr): 4.1

Predicted 1-Hour Maximum Ground-Level Concentration (μg/m3): 0.9

MAGLC (μg/m3): 4.76

The permittee, has demonstrated that emissions of H2SO4, from emissions unit(s) P001 

and P002, is calculated to be less than eighty percent of the maximum acceptable 

ground level concentration (MAGLC); any new raw material or processing agent shall 

not be applied without evaluating each component toxic air contaminant in accordance 

with the “Toxic Air Contaminant Statute”, ORC 3704.03(F).

(12) Prior to making any physical changes to or changes in the method of operation of the 

emissions unit(s), that could impact the parameters or values that were used in the 

predicted 1-hour maximum ground-level concentration, the permittee shall re-model the 

change(s) to demonstrate that the MAGLC has not been exceeded. Changes that can 

affect the parameters/values used in determining the 1-hour maximum ground-level 

concentration include, but are not limited to, the following:

a. changes in the composition of the materials used or the use of new materials, 

that would result in the emission of a new toxic air contaminant with a lower 

Threshold Limit Value (TLV) than the lowest TLV previously modeled;

b. changes in the composition of the materials, or use of new materials, that would 

result in an increase in emissions of any toxic air contaminant listed in OAC rule 

3745-114-01, that was modeled from the initial (or last) application; and

c. physical changes to the emissions unit(s) or its/their exhaust parameters (e.g., 

increased/ decreased exhaust flow, changes in stack height, changes in stack 

diameter, etc.).

If the permittee determines that the “Toxic Air Contaminant Statute” will be satisfied for

the above changes, the Ohio EPA will not consider the change(s) to be a "modification" 

under OAC rule 3745-31-01 solely due to a non-restrictive change to a parameter or 

process operation, where compliance with the “Toxic Air Contaminant Statute”, ORC 

3704.03(F), has been documented. If the change(s) meet(s) the definition of a 

“modification”, the permittee shall apply for and obtain a final PTI prior to the change. 

The Director may consider any significant departure from the operations of the 

emissions unit, described in the permit application, as a modification that results in 

greater emissions than the emissions rate modeled to determine the ground level 

concentration; and he/she may require the permittee to submit a permit application for 

the increased emissions.

(13) The permittee shall collect, record, and retain the following information for each toxic 

evaluation conducted to determine compliance with the “Toxic Air Contaminant Statute”, 

ORC 3704.03(F):

a. a description of the parameters/values used in each compliance demonstration 

and the parameters or values changed for any re-evaluation of the toxic(s) 

modeled (the composition of materials, new toxic contaminants emitted, change 

in stack/exhaust parameters, etc.);

b. the Maximum Acceptable Ground-Level Concentration (MAGLC) for each 

significant toxic contaminant or worst-case contaminant, calculated in 

accordance with the “Toxic Air Contaminant Statute”, ORC 3704.03(F);

c. a copy of the computer model run(s), that established the predicted 1-hour 

maximum ground-level concentration that demonstrated the emissions unit(s) to 

be in compliance with the “Toxic Air Contaminant Statute”, ORC 3704.03(F), 

initially and for each change that requires re-evaluation of the toxic air 

contaminant emissions; and

d. the documentation of the initial evaluation of compliance with the “Toxic Air 

Contaminant Statute”, ORC 3704.03(F), and documentation of any determination 

that was conducted to re-evaluate compliance due to a change made to the 

emissions unit(s) or the materials applied.

(14) The permittee shall maintain a record of any change made to a parameter or value used 

in the dispersion model, used to demonstrate compliance with the “Toxic Air 

Contaminant Statute”, ORC 3704.03(F), through the predicted 1-hour maximum 

ground-level concentration. The record shall include the date and reason(s) for the 

change and if the change would increase the ground-level concentration.

(15) See 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart KKKK (40 CFR 60.4300 – 60.4420)

e) Reporting Requirements

CO2 emission rate does not exceed 307,279.33 lbs/hr at ISO conditions.

Compliance shall be demonstrated based upon an emission test as required in 

f)(2).

The annual emission limitation is based on the sum of following manufacturer’s 

data (306,632 lbs/hr CO2, 5.804lbs/hr CH4, and 1.695lbs/hr N2O) multiplied by 

the associated global warming potential for each pollutant (CO2=1, CH4=21,

d. The test(s) shall be conducted under those representative conditions that 

challenge to the fullest extent possible a facility’s ability to meet the applicable 

emissions limits and/or control requirements, unless otherwise specified by the 

Ohio EPA Northeast District Office. Although this generally consists of operating 

the emissions unit at its maximum material input/production rates and results in 

the highest emission rate of the tested pollutant, there may be circumstances 

where a lower emissions loading is deemed the most challenging control 

scenario. Failure to test under these conditions is justification for not accepting 

the test results as a demonstration of compliance.

e. Not later than 30 days prior to the proposed test date(s), the permittee shall 

submit an "Intent to Test" notification to the Ohio EPA Northeast District Office. 

The "Intent to Test" notification shall describe in detail the proposed test methods 

and procedures, the emissions unit operating parameters, the time(s) and date(s) 

of the test(s), and the person(s) who will be conducting the test(s). Failure to 

submit such notification for review and approval prior to the test(s) may result in 

the Ohio EPA Northeast District Office's refusal to accept the results of the 

emission test(s).

f. Personnel from the Ohio EPA Northeast District Officeshall be permitted to 

witness the test(s), examine the testing equipment, and acquire data and 

information necessary to ensure that the operation of the emissions unit and the 

testing procedures provide a valid characterization of the emissions from the 

emissions unit and/or the performance of the control equipment.

g. A comprehensive written report on the results of the emissions test(s) shall be 

signed by the person or persons responsible for the tests and submitted to the 

Ohio EPA Northeast District Officewithin 30 days following completion of the 

test(s). The permittee may request additional time for the submittal of the written 

report, where warranted, with prior approval from the Ohio EPA Northeast District 

Office.

(3) Within 60 days of achieving the maximum production rate at which the emissions unit(s) 

will be operated, but not later than 180 days after initial startup, the permittee shall 

conduct certification tests of the continuous NOx monitoring system, in units of the 

applicable standard(s), to demonstrate compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix B, 

Performance Specification 2; Performance Specification 6 relative accuracy 

requirements; ORC section 3704.03(I); and 40 CFR Part 75.

The permittee shall certify that the fuel flow monitor/meter meets 40 CFR Part 75 

certification requirements prior to the performance specification test and shall 

demonstrate how the pound per hour emissions of NOx will be calculated 

stoichiometrically from the fuel flow rate.

Personnel from the Ohio EPA Central Office and the Ohio EPA Northeast District Office 

shall be notified 45 days prior to initiation of the applicable tests and shall be permitted to
