(a) This Rule shall
				  not apply to sources regulated by
				  15A NCAC
				  02D .1418. Sources that have obtained an
				  alternative limitation pursuant to
				  15A NCAC
				  02D .1412 or that apply seasonal fuel
				  switching pursuant to
				  15A NCAC
				  02D .1411 are not eligible to participate in
				  an emissions averaging plan under this Rule.
(b) With the exceptions in Paragraph (a) of

				  comparable plume rise and subject to the requirements of this Section for all
				  such sources as determined by
				  15A NCAC
				  02D .1402 may elect to apply an emissions
				  averaging plan according to Paragraph (c) of this Rule. An emissions averaging
				  plan may be used if the total NOx emissions from the averaged set of sources

				  would have occurred if each source complied with the applicable
				  limitation.
(c) To request approval
				  of an emissions averaging plan to comply with the requirements of this Section,
				  the owner or operator of a facility shall submit a written request to the
				  Director including the following information:

				  the nitrogen oxide emissions of the sources being averaged, when operated
				  together at the maximum daily heat input rate, will be less than or equal to
				  the total NOx emissions if each source complied with the applicable limitation
				  of this Section individually;
(7)
				  an operational plan to provide reasonable assurance that the sources being
				  averaged will satisfy Subparagraph (5) of this Paragraph when the combined
				  maximum daily heat input rate is less than the permitted maximum heat input
				  rate; and
(8) the method to be used

(b) The owner or operator of a coal-fired or
				  oil-fired boiler subject to the requirements of
				  15A NCAC
				  02D .1407 may elect to comply by applying
				  seasonal combustion of natural gas according to Paragraph (c) of this Rule.
				  This option is not available to a boiler that used natural gas as its primary
				  fuel beginning in 1990. Compliance with this Section according to this Rule
				  does not remove or reduce any applicable requirement of the Acid Rain
				  Program.
(c) The owner or operator
				  electing to comply with the requirements of this Section through the seasonal
				  combustion of natural gas shall establish a NOx emission limit beginning
				  October 1 and ending April 30 that will result in annual NOx emissions of less
				  than or equal to the NOx that would have been emitted if the source complied
				  with the applicable limitation for the combustion of coal for the entire
				  calendar year. Compliance with this Section according to this Rule does not
				  remove or reduce any applicable requirement of the Acid Rain Program.
(d) To comply with the requirements of this
				  Section through the seasonal combustion of natural gas, the owner or operator
				  shall submit to the Director the following information:
(1) the name and location of the
				  facility;
(2) information
				  identifying the source to use seasonal combustion of natural gas for
				  compliance;
(3) the maximum heat
				  input rate for each source;
(4) a
				  demonstration that the source will comply with the applicable limitation for
				  the combustion of coal during the ozone season;
(5) a demonstration that the source will
				  comply with the NOx emission limitation established under Paragraph (c) of this
				  Rule beginning October 1 and ending April 30; and
(6) a written statement from the natural gas
				  supplier providing reasonable assurance that the fuel will be available
				  throughout the ozone season.

				  inspect each burner and clean or replace any component of the burner as
				  required;
(2) inspect the flame
				  pattern and make any adjustments to the burner, or burners, necessary to
				  optimize the flame pattern to minimize total emissions of NOx and carbon
				  monoxide;
(3) inspect the
				  combustion control system to ensure proper operation and correct calibration of
				  components that control the air to fuel ratio and adjust components to meet the
				  manufacturer's established operating parameters; and
(4) inspect any other component of the boiler
				  or indirect-fired process heater and make adjustments or repairs as necessary
				  to improve combustion efficiency.
The owner or operator shall perform the tune-up according
					 to a unit-specific protocol approved by the Director. The Director shall
					 approve the protocol if it meets the requirements of this Rule.
