4.     Compliance History

On August 16, 2017, Mike Parkin of the ARO conducted an onsite compliance inspection at the facility, and determined that "The facility appeared to be operating in compliance with Air Permit No. 04172T25 at the time of inspection."

5.     Regulatory Review

The facility will be subject to the following regulations:
15A NCAC 02D .0503, Particulates from Fuel Burning Indirect Heat Exchangers
15A NCAC 02D .0504, Particulates from Wood Burning Indirect Heat Exchangers
15A NCAC 02D .0512, Particulates from Miscellaneous Wood Products
15A NCAC 02D .0515, Particulates from Miscellaneous Industrial Processes
15A NCAC 02D .0516, Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from Combustion Sources
15A NCAC 02D .0521, Control of Visible Emissions
15A NCAC 02D .0530, Prevention of Significant Deterioration
15A NCAC 02D .0614, Compliance Assurance Monitoring 
15A NCAC 02D .1111, Maximum Achievable Control Technology (40 CFR 63, Subparts ZZZZ and JJJJJJ)
15A NCAC 02Q .0317 Avoidance of 15A NCAC 02D .1111, Maximum Achievable Control Technology

As a result of no longer being major for HAPs, the facility is no longer subject to the following regulations:
15A NCAC 02D .1109, Case-by-Case Maximum Achievable Control Technology
15A NCAC 02D .1111, Maximum Achievable Control Technology (40 CFR 63, Subparts DDDD and JJ)

Removed from the permit because this rule was repealed on May 1, 2014:
15A NCAC 02Q .0705, Existing Sources and SIC Calls

Moved from permit to insignificant activities list 
One diesel-fired emergency fire pump (190 hp, previously ID No. DFE) moved to the insignificant activities list as ID No. I- DFE.

Based on the fire pump's 190 horsepower and 500 hours of maximum operation per year, the potential emissions of each criteria pollutants are less than 5 tpy. This source is still subject to GACT Subpart ZZZZ. 

Background on removal of MACT requirements
In 1995 the EPA issued a policy memorandum commonly referred to as "Once-In-Always-In."  The policy provides that a source can avoid the applicability of an otherwise applicable MACT standard only if the source reduces its potential to emit before the first substantive compliance date of the MACT. The EPA acknowledged at that time that it intended to "follow this guidance memorandum with rulemaking actions to address these issues. The Agency intends to include provisions on potential to emit timing in future MACT rules and amendments to the section 112 general provisions." To date, with limited exception, the EPA has not initiated rulemaking to codify the interpretations contained in the memorandum. Consequently, the "Once-In-Always-In" policy has been inconsistently applied among States and Local agencies, as well as EPA Regional Offices.

However, on January 25, 2018 an EPA memorandum from William L. Wehrum, Assistant Administrator, titled Reclassification of Major Sources as Area Sources Under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act was issued.  This memorandum clarified EPA's position that "...a source that was previously classified as major, and which so limits its PTE, will no longer be subject either to the major source MACT or other major source requirements that were applicable to it as a major source under CAA section 112."

HHG meets this criterion and will no longer be subject to the NESHAPs for: 1) Plywood and Composite Wood Products (40 CFR 63 Subpart DDDD) 2) Wood Furniture Manufacturing Operations (40 CFR 63 Subpart JJ)
upon the issuance of Air Permit No. 04172T26 with a federally enforceable avoidance condition for HAPs.  HHG will also no longer be subject to 15A NCAC 02D .1109, 112(j) Case-by-Case MACT for Boilers & Process Heaters (also referred to as the Case-by-Case MACT in this review). However, as a minor source of HAPs, HHG will be subject to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Area Sources: Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers (40 CFR 63 Subpart JJJJJJ).

Note: Emissions of N. C. air toxics are not increased, and are not being reviewed, with this permitting action.  However, future modifications that result in an increase in N. C. air toxics emissions may trigger a review of previously exempt sources.
	
15A NCAC 02Q .0317 Avoidance Conditions  -  Limitation to Avoid being Major for HAPs  -  The facility has requested to be a minor (or area) source for HAPs.  Limits be placed in their permit for HAPs of less than 10 tons per year (tpy) and less than 25 tpy of any combination of HAPs or total HAPs on a facility-wide basis.  

As shown in the table below, the facility's actual HAP emissions reported in their three most recent (2014-2016) emissions inventory are well below the 10/25 tpy threshold.  Therefore, with the appropriate 15A NCAC 02Q .0317 monitoring, recording and record keeping added to the permit, no exceedance of the HAP minor limitations is expected.

6.     NSPS, NESHAPS/MACT, NSR/PSD, 112(r), CAM

NSPS
 The Permittee is not currently subject to any New Source Performance Standards.  This permit modification does not affect this status.
 
 NESHAP/MACT/GACT
The Permittee will remain subject to NESHAP ZZZZ (Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines), and will become subject to NESHAP JJJJJJ (Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers). 

As a result of no longer being major for HAPs, the facility is no longer subject to the following regulations:
15A NCAC 02D .1109, Case-by-Case Maximum Achievable Control Technology
15A NCAC 02D .1111, NESHAP for Plywood and Composite Wood Products (40 CFR 63, DDDD)
15A NCAC 02D .1111: NESHAP for Wood Furniture Manufacturing Operations (40 CFR 63, Subpart JJ)

As a minor source of HAPs, HHG will now be subject to NESHAP for Area Sources: Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers (40 CFR 63 Subpart JJJJJJ).

15A NCAC 02D .1111-  NESHAP (GACT JJJJJJ) for Area Sources: Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers

Boilers ID Nos. ESBL1 and ESBL2:
This Subpart applies to new, reconstructed, or existing industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers located at an area source [§63.11194(a)(1)].  These affected sources are classified as existing sources. [§63.11194(c)]

As part of this modification, the 112j case-by-case MACT condition in the permit was replaced the language with GACT JJJJJJ template language.  

Compliance Dates
For an existing boiler subject to a biennial tune-up requirement, the first biennial tune-up must be completed upon issuance of permit.  [40 CFR 63.11196(a)(1), 63.11210(c), (j)].  

The Permittee shall comply with the energy assessment requirement upon issuance of permit.  [40 CFR 63.11196(a)(3), 63.11210(c), (j)]

Recent ARO inspection reports indicate that the facility "...forwarded a copy of an energy assessment done on June 10, 2013 on the boilers at the facility.  The assessment was performed by personnel from NC State University."  On February 14, 2018, ARO confirmed via e-mail that they did get a copy of the energy assessment and it does meet the requirements of JJJJJJ.

The Permittee shall submit a Notification of Compliance Status within 120 days of the source becomes subject to the standard. [§63.11225(a)(4)] 

Performance Tune-up Requirements 
Each biennial tune-up shall be conducted no more than 25 months after the previous tune-up.

The Permittee shall conduct the tune-ups while burning the type of fuel (or fuels in the case of boilers that routinely burn two types of fuels at the same time) that provided the majority of the heat input to the boiler over the 12 months prior to the tune-up.

Tune-up shall meet the items requirements of §63.11223(b).

Recordkeeping 
The Permittee shall maintain on-site and submit if requested by the Administrator, a report containing the following information:

 As required in 40 CFR 63.10(b)(2)(xiv), the Permittee shall keep a copy of each notification and report that was submitted to comply with this rule and all documentation supporting any Notification of Compliance Status that was submitted.
 The Permittee shall keep a copy of each boiler energy assessment report.
 Records of the occurrence and duration of each malfunction of the boiler or of the associated air pollution control and monitoring equipment.
 Records of actions taken during periods of malfunction to minimize emissions in accordance with the general duty to minimize emissions, including corrective actions to restore the malfunctioning boiler, air pollution control, or monitoring equipment to its normal or usual manner of operation. 
 For operating units that combust non-hazardous secondary materials that have been determined not to be solid waste pursuant to 40 CFR 241.3(b)(1), the Permittee shall keep a record which documents how the secondary material meets each of the legitimacy criteria under 40 CFR 241.3(d)(1). If you combust a fuel that has been processed from a discarded non-hazardous secondary material pursuant to 40 CFR 241.3(b)(4), you must keep records as to how the operations that produced the fuel satisfies the definition of processing in 40 CFR 241.2 and each of the legitimacy criteria in 40 CFR 241.3(d)(1). If the fuel received a non-waste determination pursuant to the petition process submitted under 40 CFR 241.3(c), you must keep a record that documents how the fuel satisfies the requirements of the petition process. For operating units that combust non-hazardous secondary materials as fuel per 40 CFR 241.4, you must keep records documenting that the material is a listed non-waste under 40 CFR 241.4(a).

The Permittee shall keep the following records to document conformance with the performance tune-ups:
 Records must identify each boiler, the date of tune-up, the procedures followed for tune-up, and the manufacturer's specifications to which the boiler was tuned.
 The concentrations of CO in the effluent stream in parts per million, by volume, and oxygen in volume percent, measured at high fire or typical operating load, before and after the tune-up of the boiler.
 A description of any corrective actions taken as a part of the tune-up of the boiler.
 The type and amount of fuel used over the 12 months prior to the tune-up of the boiler, but only if the unit was physically and legally capable of using more than one type of fuel during that period. Units sharing a fuel meter may estimate the fuel use by each unit.
  
The records must be in a form suitable and readily available for expeditious review. The Permittee shall keep each record for 5 years following the date of each recorded action. The Permittee shall keep each record on-site or be accessible from a central location by computer or other means that instantly provide access at the site for at least 2 years after the date of each recorded action. The Permittee may keep the records off site for the remaining 3 years. 

Reporting
The reporting requirements of 40 CFR 63.11225(b) shall be met by complying with General Condition P of Section 3 (Compliance Certification) of the air permit.

NSR/PSD
 The facility is a major stationary source for PSD. This permit modification does not affect this status.

112(r)
The facility is not subject to Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act requirements because it does not store any of the regulated substances in quantities above the thresholds in the Rule.  This permit renewal does not affect this status.

CAM
40 CFR 64 requires that a continuous compliance assurance monitoring plan be developed for all equipment located at a major facility, that have pre-controlled emissions above the major source threshold, and use a control device to meet an applicable standard.  As part of this permit renewal, 15A NCAC 02D .0521 was removed from the applicable regulations, and the cyclone (ID No. CDCY18) preceding the bagfilter (ID No. CDBF18) was removed from the control technology list.  The following table indicates the current equipment/control device linkages:

CAM was previously determined not to be applicable to the control devices associated with the wood-working operations and the two wood/coal-fired boilers because potential uncontrolled PM10 emissions were determined to be less than the CAM applicability threshold of 100 tons per year (See Jenny Sheppard's permit review dated October 12, 2007 for Permit No. 04172T17).  This permit renewal does not affect this status.  

Dust trailer unloading station (ID No. ESDST) and its associated control devices (ID Nos. CDCY18 and CDBF18) were reviewed for CAM applicability as part of the previous permit renewal (See Mark Cuilla's permit review dated November 26, 2012 for Permit No. 04172T23).  CAM was determined to be applicable to this source and a 15A NCAC 02D .0614 permit condition was added.

The Dust trailer unloading station is subject to 15A NCAC 02D .0515 (Particulates from Miscellaneous Industrial Processes). Compliance with this emission standard will be achieved using a cyclone (ID No. CDCY18) and a fabric filter (ID No. CDBF18).
 
Visible emissions observations were selected as the performance indicator because it is a good indicator of the proper operation and maintenance of the fabric filters.  When the filter units are operating properly, there should not be any visible emissions at the bagfilter outlet. Any visible emissions indicate reduced performance of the fabric filters, therefore, the presence of visible emissions is used as a performance indicator. An excursion triggers inspection, corrective action, and a reporting requirement.  An indicator range of no visible emissions was selected because: (1) an increase in visible emissions is indicative of an increase in particulate emissions; and (2) a monitoring technique which does not require a Method 9 certified observer is desired.  Although Reference Method 22 applies to fugitive sources, the visible/no visible emissions observation technique of Reference Method 22 can be applied to ducted emissions; i.e., Method 22-like observations.

The selected QIP threshold for fabric filter visible emissions is five excursions in a 6-month reporting period.  This level is 3 percent of the total visible emissions observations.  If the QIP threshold is exceeded in a semiannual reporting period, a QIP will be developed and implemented.  The following updated condition will be included in the renewed permit.
