Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune (MCB CAMLEJ) and Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) New River currently hold a Title V Operating Permit issued by the State of North Carolina, Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), Division of Air Quality (DAQ). Title V Permit Number 06591T38. This review document addresses two applications: 6700011.16A and 670011.17A and applicability determination no. 3127.
Application No. 6700011.16A The primary purpose of this permit application package is to allow the construction and operation of the emission sources identified in Table 1. This modification will not contravene or conflict with any conditions in the existing permit. As this significant modification, as defined at 15A NCAC 02Q .0516, will be subjected to public notice procedures, the permit reviews for the minor modifications that resulted in permit nos. T34, T35, T36 and T37 will also be included as attachments to this permit review document and hence be incorporated fully into the TV permit.

III. Project description Application No. 6700011.16A Eleven (11) of the new insignificant emission sources that are being requested be added to Title V Permit Number 06591T38 are the result of Marine Corps Military Construction (MLCON) program projects. Each of these MLCON projects has been funded separately with an independent funding mechanism. The remaining new emission sources are the result of separately funded projects not associated with the MLCON program. Projects and their associated equipment are described in Section 2.3 of the application. Only one project needs to be discussed explicitly as it will need operating restrictions to avoid triggering PSD. Application No. 6700011.17A Fifteen (15) of the new insignificant emission sources and the two significant emission sources that are being requested to be added to Title V Permit Number 06591T38 are the result of Marine Corps Military Construction (MLCON) program projects. Each of these MLCON projects has been funded separately with an independent funding mechanism. The remaining four (4) new insignificant emission sources are the result of separately funded projects not associated with the MLCON program. Based on potential emission estimates, none of these projects would be considered significant modifications under PSD nor do they rely on projected actual emission estimates to avoid PSD rule. IV. Regulatory Review The sources to be added to the permit will be grouped to facilitate regulatory review. The sources being removed or revised in the permit will not be subject to discussion. One permitting request, the submittal of a TV application to subject the PSD avoidance condition for CO2e at section 2.2.F.1 to public notice procedures, will be discussed separately. IV.A. non-emergency engines App. 16A Emission Source ID No. Emission Source Description Internal Combustion Engines -Non-Emergency Generator
A-FC-280-26 Diesel-fired generator (40 kW)
15A NCAC 02D .0524: NEW SOURCE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart IIII - Standards of Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines The Permittee will purchase a certified engine and be required to meet all applicable operating restrictions including the combustion of fuel with less than 15 ppm sulfur content, recordkeeping and reporting requirements.
Page 13 of 19 MAXIMUM ACHIEVABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY - 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ, National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines. In accordance with 40 CFR 63.6590(c)(6), sources that have a rating less than or equal to 500 HP must meet the requirements of Subpart ZZZZ by meeting the requirements of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart IIII. There are no other requirements for these sources under Subpart ZZZZ. 15A NCAC 02D .0516: SULFUR DIOXIDE EMISSIONS FROM COMBUSTION SOURCES This rule states:
(b) A source subject to an emission standard for sulfur dioxide in Rules .0524, .0527, .1110, .1111, .1205, .1206, .1210, or .1211 of this Subchapter shall meet the standard in that particular rule instead of the standard in Paragraph (a) of this Rule.
Because the engine is subject to 02D .0524 NSPS Subpart IIII which has a sulfur standard (i.e., fuel sulfur content limited to 15 ppm) it is not subject to this rule. 15A NCAC 02D .0521: CONTROL OF VISIBLE EMISSIONS Under this rule, each source is subject to a 20 percent opacity limit when averaged over a 6-minute period (with some exceptions). Consistent with current DAQ policy, internal combustion engines burning natural gas or distillate oil are not subject to any monitoring, recordkeeping or reporting requirements. IV.B. Test stands App 16A Emission Source ID No. Emission Source Description
Engine Test Stands
A-FC-280-07 Diesel, JP-5, JP-8, or F-24-fired turbine engine test stand (1,500 hp)
A-FC-280-25 Diesel, JP-8, or F-24-fired IC engine test stand (525 hp)
15A NCAC 02D .0516: SULFUR DIOXIDE EMISSIONS FROM COMBUSTION SOURCES Under this rule, these combustion sources are subject to a SO2 emission limit of 2.3 pounds per million Btu heat input. Consistent with current DAQ policy, distillate fuel-fired engines do not have any required M/R/R with respect to this regulation given the relatively low sulfur content of the fuels. National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (RICE) - 15A NCAC 02D .1111 and 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ RICE being tested at an engine test stand are excluded from this regulation in accordance with 40 CFR 63.6590(a). National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Engine Test Cells/ Stands- 15A NCAC 02D .1111 and 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart PPPPP Engine test stand A-FC-280-07 will be used exclusively for testing combustion turbine engines. In accordance with 40 CFR 63.9290(d), this engine test stand is not subject to requirements under Subpart PPPPP. Engine test stand A-FC-280-25 will be used exclusively for testing IC engines. However, in accordance with 40 CFR 63.9290(a), the affected source for Subpart PPPPP includes 25 existing engine test stands that are located aboard MCB CAMLEJ. The installation of engine test stand A-FC-280-07 will not trigger reconstruction as defined by 40 CFR 63.2. Therefore, this engine test stand is not subject to requirements under Subpart PPPPP. 15A NCAC 02D. 0530: PREVENTION OF SIGNIFICANT DETERIORATION As discussed in Section III, one project needs to be discussed explicitly with respect to PSD applicability; the project described as “2nd Maintenance Battalion Engine Test Stands.” MCB CAMLEJ is in the process of installing one diesel, JP-5, JP-8, or F-24-fired turbine engine test stand and one diesel, JP-8, or F-24-fired internal combustion (IC) engine test stand at Building FC-280, which is located in the French Creek area. A non-
Page 14 of 19 emergency generator is associated with the IC engine test stand and will also be installed as part of this project. MCB CAMLEJ is requesting that the new emission sources be permitted as significant activities. The engine test stands and associated non-emergency generator are anticipated to be used less than 30 hours per year. However, assuming the units were to operate 8,760 hours per year, potential emissions from the units would exceed the PSD significant emission rate (SER) for nitrogen oxides (NOx). As a result, MCB CAMLEJ is requesting that the operation of these sources be limited to avoid PSD applicability. To avoid applicability of l 5A NCAC 02D .0530(g) for major sources and major modifications, MCB CAMLEJ is requesting that the operation of each of these sources (A-FC-280-07, A-FC-280-25, and A-FC-280-26) be limited to 500 hours per year. The Permittee supplied calculations to show the emissions of NOx at 500 hours per year are well under 40 tpy (i.e. 6.7 tpy, see calculations in permit application. Taking the hourly restriction into account, potential emission increases from the emission sources included in this application are less than the PSD SERs for all other pollutants. To demonstrate compliance with this regulation, MCB CAMLEJ will record the number of hours the engine test stands and generator operate each month. MCB CAMLEJ will also submit a summary of these records in a semi-annual report. IV.C MILCON Project P674 App 17A

ID No. Control Device Description
C-AS-514-01 Plastic media blasting system CD-17-A, -B, -C three cartridge filter systems (16, 800 square feet of filter area each) each in series with a HEPA filter
C-AS-514-02 Depainting operation NA NA Under MLCON project P674, MCB CAMLEJ will construct a corrosion control hangar (Building AS-514) aboard the MCAS New River portion of the installation. This hangar will serve to facilitate the cleaning, depainting, and inspection process required to prepare aerospace vehicles for painting. Subsequent painting will be conducted in an existing paint booth located in Building AS-3900. The corrosion control hangar will include two hangar bays. One bay will include a plastic media blast (PMB) system (C-AS-514-01) to remove paint and similar coatings from aerospace vehicles and components. Particulate emissions from the PMB system will be controlled using three identical dust collector systems, each of which will consist of a cartridge filter (i.e., baghouse) followed by a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter. A flow diagram for this system is included as Appendix B of the application and the control device specifications are included as Appendix C of the application. Each dust collector system handles 40,000 CFM of hangar air for a total of 120,000 CFM. The air from the hangar passes through a set of cartridge-style celluloid-polyester filters. The filters are cleaned with a reverse pulse compressed air system and the particulate is deposited into drums for disposal or recycling. After passing through the cartridge filters, the air then passes through a set of HEPA filters that remove particulate down to the 0.3-micron size. Eighty percent (80%) of the cleaned air is returned to the hangar and twenty percent (20%) is discharged to the atmosphere. The 20% air discharged to the atmosphere is replaced with makeup air that can be heated when required. Differential pressure gauges will be installed across the filter banks and monitored continuously. In addition, particulate monitors will be located downstream of the HEPA filters to alarm if any particulate is in the air that is being discharge to the atmosphere. The second corrosion control hangar bay will house a depainting operation (C-AS-514-02) in which aircraft will be washed, parts will be steam cleaned, and coatings will be removed using both hand sanding techniques and chemical strippers. Emissions from the depainting operation will not be controlled and will be emitted indoors. 15A NCAC 02D .0515: PARTICULATES FROM MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES Emissions of particulate matter from the PMB system shall not exceed an allowable emission rate as calculated by the following equations: [15A NCAC 02D .0515(a)]
Page 15 of 19
E = 4.10 x P 0.67 for process rates less than or equal to 30 tons per hour or E = 55.0 x P 0.11 for process rates greater than 30 tons per hour Where E = allowable emission rate in pounds per hour; P = process rate in tons per hour
The Prmittee estimates controlled emissions from the process to be 4.8 e-03 lb/hr. The process rate is unknown but the PMB system will be used to remove coatings from various aircraft. Assuming a conservative process rate of 1 tph, the allowable emissions rate is 4.1 lb/hr. Compliance with rule is expected by a wide margin. Typical M/R/R for filter systems will be placed into the permit. No PM emissions are expected from the depainting operation (C-AS-514-02) as it will emit any PM emissions directly into the workspace (i.e., indoors). 15A NCAC 02D .0521: CONTROL OF VISIBLE EMISSIONS Under this rule, each source is subject to a 20 percent opacity limit when averaged over a 6-minute period (with some exceptions). Given the level of PM control being installed on the PMB system operation, no visible emissions are expected. Consistent with permitted similar sources relying on filter systems, the following monitoring will be required:
To ensure compliance, once a month the Permittee shall observe the emission points of this source for any visible emissions above normal. The monthly observation must be made for each month of the calendar year period to ensure compliance with this requirement. The Permittee shall establish “normal” for the source in the first 30 days following the effective date of the permit or after first operation. If visible emissions from this source are observed to be above normal, the Permittee shall either: i. take appropriate action to correct the above-normal emissions as soon as practicable and within the
monitoring period and record the action taken as provided in the recordkeeping requirements below, or ii. demonstrate that the percent opacity from the emission points of the emission source in accordance with 15A
NCAC 02D .2610 (Method 9) for 12 minutes is below the 20% opacity limit
Typical; recordkeeping and reporting will also be required. For the depainting operation, no PM emissions are estimated from the hand sanding operation and the VOC/HAP emissions will be fugitive in nature. NO visible emissions are expected from this source. As with the similarly permitted fugitive sources at the facility, 02D .0521 does not apply. 15A NCAC 02D .1111 "MAXIMUM ACHIEVABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY" as promulgated in 40 CFR PART 63, SUBPART GG, “NATIONAL EMISSION STANDARDS FOR HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANTS FOR AEROSPACE MANUFACTURING AND REWORK FACILITIES, including Subpart A “GENERAL PROVISIONS The PMB system and depainting operations system will be subject to the provisions of Subpart GG. In accordance with 40 CFR 63.746(a), these provisions apply to the depainting (including the use of the PMB system) of the outer surface areas of completed aerospace vehicles, including the fuselage, wings, and vertical and horizontal stabilizers of the aircraft, and the outer casing and stabilizers of missiles and rockets. Subpart GG requirements applicable to the depainting operations are already summarized in Table 2.1.P.4-2. of the current permit. No changes to the permit are necessary. IV.D – CO2 PSD applicability Discussion relating to the requirement in Permit No. T38 at Section 2.2.F.2 for the submittal of a TV application to subject the PSD avoidance condition for CO2e at section 2.2.F.1 to public notice procedures. Permit No. T38, issued on January 1, 2016 as the result of application no. 6700011.15A, received on December 30, 2015 contained a new permit condition at Section 2.2.F.1, which was a recordkeeping condition for CO2e to avoid the applicability of 15A NCAC 02D .0544 “Prevention of Significant Deterioration Requirements for Greenhouse Gases.” Because it was a condition that met the definition of a significant modification at 15A NCAC 02Q .0516(b)(3), but did not contradict or conflict with the existing permit, the Permittee could avail itself of 15A NCAC 02Q .0516(d) and request that the permit modification be processed as the 1st step of the two-step significant modification process as allowed under 15A NCAC 02Q .0501(c)(2) and .0504. The Prmittee submitted the “second step” TV application as required by permit condition 2.2.F.2 on March 20, 2017. The application requested the following two changes to the original application:
Page 16 of 19
1. Correct a typographical error in Condition 2.2.F.l.b. This condition should reference the pollutants identified in Table 2.2.F.1.c rather than those in Table 2.1.B.4.1. Table 2.1.B.4.1 does not exist. 2. Correct a typographical error in Table 2.2.F.1.c. The projected actual carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions should be 167,345 tons per year (tpy) rather than 53,413 tpy. The 53,413 tpy value represents the net CO2e emission increase from the installation of the new boilers and hot water heaters identified in Table 2.2.F. This value does not include projected actual CO2e emissions from the five (5) existing boilers located in Building 1700 (113,932 tpy), which are also identified in Table 2.2.F. The corrected value includes both the net emission increase from the new units and the projected actual emissions from the existing units.
Upon receipt of the two questions above, the emission calculations were reviewed. Projects that are conducted at the same time but have different funding mechanisms do not need necessarily need to be aggregated for PSD applicability. The original application review showed that the aggregated projects were significant for NOx and CO2e. However, upon consideration of the projects individually, only CO2e was shown to be above its Significant Emission Rate (SER). As a result, a PSD avoidance condition for CO2e was added at Section 2.2 F.1. Predating the permit application, on June 23, 2014 the Supreme Court decided that PSD permits are not required for a source that exceeds threshold emissions only for GHGs and not for other pollutants. This concept was incorporated into 02D .0544 at paragraph (a) on September 1, 2015 which predates the issuance of permit no. T38 on January 1, 2016. Hence, the permit condition should not have been included at all. Section 2.2 F.2 will be removed from the revised permit. The review for permit no. T38 is included as attachment E. V. Facility-wide regulatory considerations State Enforceable Only 15A NCAC 02D .1806: CONTROL AND PROHIBITION OF ODOROUS EMISSIONS The addition of these new sources not expected to affect compliance with this rule. MCBCL already has similar sources and has such a large facility footprint that it is not expected to create off-site odor problems. 15A NCAC 02D. 0530: PREVENTION OF SIGNIFICANT DETERIORATION PSD applicability for these projects are fully described in Section IV above. State Enforceable Only 15A NCAC 02D .1100 - CONTROL OF TOXIC AIR POLLUTANTS This application represents the tenth time the facility has been modified to add and remove combustion sources (and a few other small sources) since the facility had conducted a facility-wide modeling demonstration. During each of the permitting actions since the last facility-wide modeling demonstration (permit no. T27), a justification was made that each of the modifications would not pose an unacceptable risk to human health. This was done primarily by showing the removal of older and larger combustion sources being replaced with newer, cleaner (subject to NSPS and MACT) combustion sources. During this permitting process, the net heat input from external combustion sources being removed from the permit exceeds the new to be constructed permitted capacity. In addition, the sources removed burn No. 2 fuel oil and are being replaced by newer smaller natural gas fired sources. Thus, it is reasonable to assume that with respect to this subset of sources there will be a net decrease in TAP emissions. Similarly, the internal combustion engine horsepower capacity being removed exceeds the new capacity being added. In addition, the new engines will be subject to the more rigorous emission standards of NSPS IIII, which are also used for compliance with MACT ZZZZ. Thus, it is reasonable to assume that with respect to this subset of sources there will be a net decrease in TAP emissions. Regarding the other miscellaneous sources being added, they emit very small amounts of TAPs or none. Given these types of changes to the expected emissions of TAPs, these sources included in the modifications considered here can be exempted from 02D .1100 because it is highly unlikely their operation poses an “unacceptable risk to human health”:
Page 17 of 19 15A NCAC 02D .0958: WORK PRACTICES FOR SOURCES OF VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS On November 1, 2016, amendments to 15A NCAC 02D .0902 were finalized to narrow applicability of work practice standards in 15A NCAC 02D .0958 from statewide to the maintenance area for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard. Facilities outside the maintenance area counties for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard would no longer be required to comply with the work practice standards in 15A NCAC 02D .0958. Onslow County has never been in nonattainment for ozone, and 15A NCAC 02D .0958 is no longer applicable to facilities, including MCB Camp Lejeune, within the county. The permit condition for 15A NCAC 02D .0958 will be removed from the permit under this modification. VI. Changes to Existing Air Permit

I. Introduction
Camp Lejeune Marine Corp Base (MCBCL) is located in Onslow County. MCBCL is requesting to construct and operate a
number of new combustion sources, remediation systems and modify woodworking operations as described in Section III of this
review. This application will also address an applicability determination for a portable incinerator.
The application will be processed as a minor modification per 2Q .0515.
II. Chronology
Date Description
03/10/2014 Application received and assign application no. 6700011.14A
04/25/2014 Permit No. T33 issued
05/15/2014 An applicability determination for a portable incinerator was received and assigned no. 2444
III. Project description
The following text is from the application. It is useful to include these full project descriptions given the sheer size of the permitted
“facility” and it also describes which projects are “separately funded,” which is key for the PSD applicability discussion found
elsewhere in this review document.
Thirty-four (34) of the new emission sources that MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ is requesting be added are the result of
Marine Corps Military Construction (MLCON) program projects. Each of these MLCON projects has been funded
separately with an independent funding mechanism. The remaining four ( 4) new or modified emission sources are the
result of separately funded projects not associated with the MLCON program. Projects and their associated equipment are
described below.
MLCON Projects 683/687
Under these projects, MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ is constructing Buildings AS-850, AS-863, and AS-890 at MCAS New
River. The construction of these buildings will include installation of four new diesel-fired emergency generators and
eight new natural gas-fired water heaters. Specifically,
• One 80 kilowatt diesel-fired emergency generator (ID No. C-AS-SAS850G-01)
will be installed in Building AS-850.
• One 40 kilowatt diesel-fired emergency generator (ID No. C-AS-SAS863G-01)
will be installed in Building AS-863.
• Two 500 kilowatt diesel-fired emergency generators (ID Nos. C-AS-SAS890G-01 and C-AS-SAS890G-02), four natural
gas-fired water heaters with a heat input capacity of0.5 million Btu per hour (ID Nos. C-AS-890-01, C-AS-890-02, C-AS-
890-03, and C-AS-890-04), and four natural gas-fired water heaters with a heat input capacity of 0.285 million Btu per
hour (ID Nos. C-AS-890-05, C-AS-890- 06, C-AS-890-07, and C-AS-890-08) will be installed in Building AS-890.
MLCON Projects 1249/1322/1323
Under these projects, MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ plans to construct Buildings WC-300, WC-304, and WC-320 in the
Wallace Creek area. The construction of these buildings will include installation of one new diesel-fired emergency
generator and twelve new natural gas-fired water heaters. Specifically,
• Ten natural gas-fired water heaters with a heat capacity of 0.399 million Btu per hour (ID Nos. A-WC-300-01 through
A-WC-300-10) will be installed in Building WC-300.
• One 250 kilowatt diesel-fired emergency generator (ID No. A-WC-SWC304A-01) will be installed at Building WC-
304.
Page 3 of 14
• One natural gas-fired water heater with a heat input capacity of0.21 million Btu per hour (ID No. A-WC-320-01) will be
installed in Building WC-320.
• One natural gas-fired water heater with a heat input capacity of0.12 million Btu per hour (ID No. 1-A-WC-320-02) will
be installed in Building WC-320.
MLCON Projects 1286/12868
Under these projects, MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ is constructing Buildings RR-122, RR-123, and RR-160 in the Rifle
Range area. These projects include the installation of one new diesel-fired emergency generator and eight new LPG-
fired water heaters. Specifically,
• One 80 kilowatt diesel-fired emergency generator (ID No. C-RR-SRR160D-01) will be installed at Building RR-160.
• Four LPG-fired water heaters with a heat capacity of 0.399 million Btu per hour (ID Nos. C-RR-122-01 through C-RR-
122-04) will be installed in Building RR-122.
• Four LPG-fired water heaters with a heat capacity of 0.399 million Btu per hour (ID Nos. C-RR-123-01 through C-
RR-123-04) will be installed in Building RR-123.
Courthouse Bay Water Heaters
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ has installed two LPG/natural gas-fired water heaters with heat input capacities of 0.399
million Btu per hour each (ID Nos. B-BB-49-53 and B-BB-49-54) at Building BB-49 in the Courthouse Bay area. These
two water heaters are currently LPG-fired, but will be converted to natural gas-fired when natural gas becomes available.
This permit application also includes the removal of one No.2 fuel oil-fired water heater with a heat input capacity of
1.159 million Btu per hour (ID No. B-BB-49-52) and one No.2 fuel oil above-ground storage tank (ID No. I-B-BB-49-0lA)
previously located at Building BB-49.
Wallace Creek Marine Mart Emergency Generator
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ is constructing a new Marine Mart in the Wallace Creek area. One 400 kilowatt diesel-fired
emergency generator (ID No. A-HP-99-01) will be installed at Building 99.
Remediation Systems
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ has installed an ex-situ pump-and-treat system (ID No.C-TC-341-01) at the TC-341 Pipeline
in the Camp Geiger area. In addition, the Base has installed an air sparge soil vapor extraction system (ID No. A-HP-31-
01) at Gottschalk Marina in the Hadnot Point area. Control devices are not installed on either remediation system.
Hadnot Point Dust Collector Modification
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ is modifying the control device on one woodworking operation (ID No. A-HP-915-06) in the
Hadnot Point area. The existing control device for this emission source is a simple cyclone which is 30 inches in diameter
(CD-15). It is being replaced with a new cartridge filter dust collection system (CD-15A). MCIEAST MCB CAMLEJ
plans to operate both control devices until the old duct system is completely removed and the new dust collection system is
fully operational.

Applicable to Non-NSPS Subpart IIII affected sources only
15A NCAC 2D .0516: SULFUR DIOXIDE EMISSIONS FROM COMBUSTION SOURCES
Under this rule, the combustion sources are subject to a SO2 emission limit of 2.3 pounds per million Btu heat input.
All the emergency generators will combust diesel fuel . Using AP-42 emission factors, the combustion of diesel fuel is not
expected to exceed this limitation unless the diesel fuel has a sulfur content of approximately 2.3%. As will be shown below NSPS
Subpart IIII requires diesel fuel with a sulfur content not to exceed 15 ppm.
2D .0516 states:
(b) A source subject to an emission standard for sulfur dioxide in Rules .0524, .0527, .1110, .1111, .1205, .1206, .1210,
or .1211 of this Subchapter shall meet the standard in that particular rule instead of the standard in Paragraph (a) of
this Rule.
These engines are subject to 2D .0524 NSPS Subpart IIII which has a sulfur standard. Thus, this rule does not apply to these
emergency engines.
Applicable to Non-NSPS Subpart IIII affected sources only
15A NCAC 2D .0521: CONTROL OF VISIBLE EMISSIONS Under this rule, each source is subject to a 20 percent opacity limit when averaged over a 6-minute period ( with some exceptions).
2D .0521(b) states (paraphrased):
(b) Scope. This Rule shall apply to all fuel burning sources and to other processes that may have a visible emission.
However, sources subject to a visible emission standard in Rules .0506, .0508, .0524, .0543, .0544, .1110, .1111, .1205,
.1206, .1210, .1211, or .1212 of this Subchapter shall meet that standard instead of the standard contained in this Rule.
These engines are subject to 2D .0524 NSPS Subpart IIII which has a “smoke standard.” Thus, this rule does not apply to these
emergency engines.
15A NCAC 2D .0524: NEW SOURCE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart IIII - Standards of
Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines
As stated in the permit application:
The emergency generators are subject to this regulation and comply with the emission standards for new non-road
compression ignition (CI) engines in 40 CFR 60.4202. All of these units are classified as emergency stationary internal
combustion engines in accordance with 40 CFR 60.4219. Each generator has been issued a certificate of conformity by
EPA; these certificates are presented in Appendices B through G.
Each generator is equipped with a non-resettable hour meter and each unit has a displacement ofless than 30 liters per
cylinder. In addition, the units burn ULS diesel fuel with a maximum sulfur content of 15 ppm and a minimum cetane
index of 50 or a maximum aromatic content of35 volume percent. None ofthe units are equipped with diesel particulate
filters to comply with emission standards.
To demonstrate compliance with Subpart IIII, MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ operates and maintains the generators per the
manufacturers' specifications. Each generator will be operated for less than 100 hours per year during maintenance
checks and readiness testing. The results of inspections and maintenance are maintained in logbooks. MCIEAST-MCB
CAMLEJ also submits a summary of these inspection and maintenance activities in the semi-annual report.
This engineer agrees with these statements. These engines have identical requirements to engines already in the permit. These
engines will simply be added to the appropriate listing in the air permit.

MAXIMUM ACHIEVABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY - 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ, National Emissions
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines.
As stated in the permit application:
The emergency generators are also subject to this regulation and meet the definition of new stationary RICE in
accordance with 40 CFR 63.6590(a)(2). The generators that have a rating greater than 500 hp are subject to limited
requirements in accordance with 40 CFR 63 .65900(b )(1 ). Specifically, an initial notification must be submitted for
these sources; there are no other requirements for these sources under Subpart ZZZZ. MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ will
notify DAQ no later than 120 calendar days after the startup of these emergency generators to comply with this
regulation.
In accordance with 40 CFR 63.6590( c)(6), sources that have a rating less than or equal to 500 hp must meet the
requirements of Subpart ZZZZ by meeting the requirements of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart IIII. There are no other
requirements for these sources under Subpart ZZZZ.
This engineer agrees with these statements. These engines have identical requirements to engines already in the permit. These
engines will simply be added to the appropriate listing in the air permit.
The Permittee is also requesting the following descriptors be changed for existing equipment:

Decentralization Project CP 12-0121
Under this project, MCBCL is making heating-system modifications at various locations within the French
Creek area. Seventy-four natural gas-fired water heaters with heat input capacities of 0.399 million Btu per hour
are being installed in 17 buildings located within the area as part of the installation's efforts to replace the
Building HP-1700 steam plant. The combustion sources identified in Table 1 of the application are associated

IV. Regulatory Review
External combustion sources (water heaters)
15A NCAC 2D .0516: SULFUR DIOXIDE EMISSIONS FROM COMBUSTION SOURCES All the water heaters will combust natural gas and or LPG and are subject to the 2.3 pounds per million Btu heat input
limitation Using AP-42 emission factors, the combustion of natural gas or LPG is expected to result in SO2 emissions
on the order of 5.9E-04 and 1.1 E-04 lb/MMBtu respectively. Given the expected margin of compliance, and
consistent with current DAQ policy, no M/R/R will be required.
15A NCAC 2D .0521: CONTROL OF VISIBLE EMISSIONS
The combustion of natural gas or LPG usually results (based on experience of other permitted sources at the subject
facility and in general) in visible emissions well below the 20% allowed by this rule. Given the expected margin of
compliance, and consistent with current DAQ policy, no M/R/R will be required.
For residential facilities or institutions (such as military and educational) whose primary fuel burning capacity
is for comfort heat, only those fuel burning indirect heat exchangers located in the same power plant or building
or otherwise physically interconnected (such as common flues, steam, or power distribution line) shall be used to
determine the total heat input.
With the above considerations, each project and in general, each installation, can be evaluated independently.
Combustion of natural gas and LPG, based on AP-42 emission factors, is expected to produce PM emissions much less
than those allowed by this rule.
Consistent with current DAQ policy, no M/R/R will be required.
Page 10 of 13
15A NCAC 2D .0524: NEW SOURCE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Dc, New Source Performance Standards for Small Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam
Generating Units is potentially applicable to these sources. However, all of the water heaters have heat input capacities of
less than 10 million Btu per hour, the applicability threshold pursuant to 40CFR 60.40c(a). Thus, this rule does not apply.
15A NCAC 2D .1111: MAXIMUM ACHIEVABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDDD, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Major Sources:
Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters
MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ is classified as a major source of HAPs. However, the water heaters identified in this
application have heat input capacities of less than 1.6 million Btu per hour and, as such, are classified as hot water heaters
in accordance with 40 CFR 63.7575. These hot water heaters are not subject to the MACT for Boilers and Process
Heaters in accordance with 40 CFR 63.7491(d).
Internal combustion sources (generators)
15A NCAC 2D .0516: SULFUR DIOXIDE EMISSIONS FROM COMBUSTION SOURCES
Under this rule, the combustion sources are subject to a SO2 emission limit of 2.3 pounds per million Btu heat input.
2D .0516 states:
(b) A source subject to an emission standard for sulfur dioxide in Rules .0524, .0527, .1110, .1111, .1205,
.1206, .1210, or .1211 of this Subchapter shall meet the standard in that particular rule instead of the standard
in Paragraph (a) of this Rule.
These engines are subject to 2D .0524 NSPS Subpart IIII which has a more stringent sulfur standard. Thus, this rule
does not apply to these emergency engines.
15A NCAC 2D .0521: CONTROL OF VISIBLE EMISSIONS Under this rule, each source is subject to a 20 percent opacity limit when averaged over a 6-minute period (with some
exceptions).
2D .0521(b) states (paraphrased):
(b) Scope. This Rule shall apply to all fuel burning sources and to other processes that may have a visible
emission. However, sources subject to a visible emission standard in Rules .0506, .0508, .0524, .0543, .0544,
.1110, .1111, .1205, .1206, .1210, .1211, or .1212 of this Subchapter shall meet that standard instead of the
standard contained in this Rule.
These engines are subject to 2D .0524 NSPS Subpart IIII which has a “smoke” standard. Thus, this rule does not apply to
these emergency engines.
15A NCAC 2D .0524: NEW SOURCE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart IIII - Standards
of Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines
As stated in the permit application:
The emergency generators are subject to this regulation and comply with the emission standards for new non-
road compression ignition (CI) engines in 40 CFR 60.4202. All of these units are classified as emergency
stationary internal combustion engines in accordance with 40 CFR 60.4219. Each generator has been issued a
certificate of conformity by EPA; these certificates are presented in Appendices B through G of the application.
Each generator is equipped with a non-resettable hour meter and each unit has a displacement of less than 30
liters per cylinder. In addition, the units burn ULS diesel fuel with a maximum sulfur content of 15 ppm and a
Page 11 of 13
minimum cetane index of 50 or a maximum aromatic content of 35 volume percent. None of the units are
equipped with diesel particulate filters to comply with emission standards.
To demonstrate compliance with Subpart IIII, MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ operates and maintains the generators
per the manufacturers' specifications. Each generator will be operated for less than 100 hours per year during
maintenance checks and readiness testing. The results of inspections and maintenance are maintained in
logbooks. MCBCL also submits a summary of these inspection and maintenance activities in the semi-annual
report.
This engineer agrees with these statements. These engines have identical requirements to engines already in the permit.
These engines will simply be added to the appropriate listing in the air permit.
15A NCAC 2D .1111: MAXIMUM ACHIEVABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY - 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart
ZZZZ, National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal
Combustion Engines.
As stated in the permit application:
The emergency generators are also subject to this regulation and meet the definition of new stationary RICE in
accordance with 40 CFR 63.6590(a)(2). The generators that have a rating greater than 500 hp are subject to
limited requirements in accordance with 40 CFR 63 .6590(b)(1 ). Specifically, an initial notification must be
submitted for these sources; there are no other requirements for these sources under Subpart ZZZZ. MCIEAST-
MCB CAMLEJ will notify DAQ no later than 120 calendar days after the startup of these emergency generators
to comply with this regulation.
In accordance with 40 CFR 63.6590(c)(6), sources that have a rating less than or equal to 500 hp must meet the
requirements of Subpart ZZZZ by meeting the requirements of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart IIII. There are no other
requirements for these sources under Subpart ZZZZ.
This engineer agrees with these statements. These engines have identical requirements to engines already in the permit.
These engines will simply be added to the appropriate listing in the air permit.
V. Facility-wide regulatory considerations
State Enforceable Only
15A NCAC 2D .1806: CONTROL AND PROHIBITION OF ODOROUS EMISSIONS
The addition of the combustion is not expected to affect compliance with this rule. MCBCL already has similar sources
and has such a large facility footprint that it is not expected to create off-site odor problems.
15A NCAC 2D. 0530: PREVENTION OF SIGNIFICANT DETERIORATION
The subject facility is considered a major source for PSD applicability purposes. To date, separate funding of projects at
military bases has been used as justification to not consider all contemporaneous modifications as a single PSD project.
This modification consists of 11 separate projects. Each project consists of the addition of natural gas fired external
combustion sources and or diesel fuel fired emergency generators. In each case, the potential emissions from each of the
projects will result in increase in emissions less than the PSD significance rates for all applicable pollutants. The
calculations are documented in the spreadsheet “Permit App Forms.xls.”
15A NCAC 02D .1100 - CONTROL OF TOXIC AIR POLLUTANTS
This modification consists of the construction and operation of 92 boilers, process heaters and hot water heaters all fired
by natural gas and all with heat input capacities that do not exceed 1.25 mmBtu/hr. The overall total heat input for these
sources is 39.3 mmBtu/hr. This modification also includes the addition of 12 diesel-fuel fired emergency generators with
a total BHP of 2952 BHP and the removal of 9 diesel-fuel fired emergency generators with a total BHP of 2946 BHP.
Page 12 of 13
As stated in the application, these external combustion units are being installed under projects intended to reduce energy
usage intensity across the installation. Upon finalization of these efforts, the base will decommission the central heating
(i.e., steam) plants that provide steam and/or hot water to various portions of the base.
As a result, the use of these new combustion sources will result in a decrease on the demand of the centralized boilers.
Given the energy losses associated with the transport of steam and hot water, it is reasonable to assume that the air
emissions associated with the generation of steam or hot water from one of these newer combustion sources, which will
be located close to the demand location, will be less than those that would be emitted from a centralized boiler on a per
unit of supplied steam/hot water basis.
The existing centralized boilers are permitted to burn natural gas, No. 2 fuel oil, and for the four largest boilers, coal.
Utilizing AP-42 emission factors, natural gas is shown to have lower TAP emissions on a pound per million Btu basis
than No.2 fuel oil for all TAPs with the exception of acetaldehyde, acrolein, ammonia, benzopyrene and hexane. The
largest difference is for ammonia, which is 0.003 lb/mmBtu larger for natural gas, which is still a small difference.
Natural gas combustion also does not have any metal TAP emissions. Although the dispersion characteristics can be
expected to be different between the widely dispersed small sources and the centralized boilers, this modification can
arguably be considered neutral with respect to any increase in TAP emissions or expected ambient impacts from the
proposed modifications to the external combustion sources.
Note that the total BHP (2952 BHP) of the emergency generators being constructed is comparable to the total BHP (2946
BHP) of the emergency generators being removed. These new engines are also subject to MACT ZZZZ and NSPS
Subpart IIII. These newer engines are expected to have much lower emissions as they must meet more stringent emission
standards. Thus, it is reasonable to assume that there will be no net increase in emissions associated with the emergency
engines modifications at the facility.
In summary, the proposed modification is not expected to have “an unacceptable risk to human health” pursuant to North
Carolina Session Law 2012-91.
This modification represents the seventh modification involving TAP emitting sources since the last facility-wide
modeling demonstration (see Application 11C that resulted in the issuance of permit no. T27). All previous modifications
have been shown to not be expected to have “an unacceptable risk to human health” pursuant to North Carolina Session
Law 2012-91 or the projects resulted in emission increases that did not justify any revised facility-wide modeling
demonstration.
Under the current 2D .1100 toxics rules, sources subject to a MACT or GACT standard are not subject to 2D .1100 if they
are shown to not pose “an unacceptable risk to human health.” Of the 104 sources discussed in this modification, only the
emergency engines are subject to a MACT (Subpart ZZZZ) and can therefore be considered exempt from 2D.1100. The
remaining sources do not meet any other exemptions to 2D .1100 pursuant to 2Q .0702. For these other sources , a permit
condition will indicate that these sources are technically subject to 2D .1100, but to date have not been included in a
compliance (modeling) demonstration.

I. Introduction
Camp Lejeune Marine Corp Base (MCBCL) is located in Onslow County. MCBCL is requesting to construct and operate
numerous new combustion sources as described in Section III of this review. The application will be processed as a minor
modification pursuant to 15 A NCAC 2Q .0515.
II. Chronology

02/01/2015 Info requested on 12/31/2014 was received via email
04/08/2015 ADD INFO email sent requesting concurrence with permit layout
05/04/2015 Response to email sent on 04/08/2015 was received.
III. Project description
The following text is from the application.
The installation recently conducted an internal tank inventory in order to update its Spill Prevention, Control and
Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan. Numerous unpermitted diesel-fired emergency generators, located throughout the
installation's 150,000 acres, were identified during this process. Notification regarding the installation of these
units had not been provided to the MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ Environmental Management Division for air
permitting purposes. In some cases, emergency generators that had previously been permitted appear to have
been removed from service and the Title V permit, placed in temporary storage, and then put back into service at
a different location.
Based on the installation's updated inventory, MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ is requesting that forty-three (43) “new”
emission sources be added to Title V Permit.
The following table (Table 1 of the application) includes the original date of installation as well as the NSPS/NESHAP
applicability (to be discussed later in this review document).
Page 3 of 10
Page 4 of 10
The sources in Table 1 above will be added to the permit; all to the insignificant activities list (See below). Note that at the time
of permit application submittal, DAQ permitting policy was such that the “State-only” permitting filters found at 15A NCAC
2Q .0102 were used to assess whether or not insignificant sources as defined at 15A NCAC 2Q .0503 were required to be on
the permit explicitly (i.e. in Section 1 of the permit). The DAQ has since changed its policy. As a result, most of the sources
requested to be added to the permit, which are insignificant activities under 2Q .0503, do not need to be added to Section 1 of
the permit. Whether a source is on Section 1 of the permit or the attached insignificant activities list, it is still subject to the
same rules. The benefit to the facility however, will be with respect to future facility modifications. That is, a permit application
would no longer be required to be submitted for the sources that are included in this application.
For consistency, AP-42 emission factors will be used to determine which engines meet the 5tpy threshold of 15A NCAC 2Q
.0503. All emergency engines less than 830 BHP (since PTE is based on 500 hours per year per current DAQ/EPA policy)
meet the 5 tpy threshold. Thus, all the engines addressed in this modification will be added to the insignificant activities list.
Applicable to Non-NSPS Subpart IIII affected sources only
15A NCAC 2D .0516: SULFUR DIOXIDE EMISSIONS FROM COMBUSTION SOURCES
Under this rule, the combustion sources are subject to a SO2 emission limit of 2.3 pounds per million Btu heat input.
All the emergency generators will combust diesel fuel. Using AP-42 emission factors, the combustion of diesel fuel is not
expected to exceed this limitation unless the diesel fuel has a sulfur content of approximately 2.3%. As will be shown below
NSPS Subpart IIII requires diesel fuel with a sulfur content not to exceed 15 ppm.
2D .0516 states:
(b) A source subject to an emission standard for sulfur dioxide in Rules .0524, .0527, .1110, .1111, .1205, .1206,
.1210, or .1211 of this Subchapter shall meet the standard in that particular rule instead of the standard in
Paragraph (a) of this Rule.
Thus the engines are subject to 2D .0524 NSPS Subpart IIII which has a sulfur standard. Thus, this rule only applies to the non-
NSPS affected engines. The NSPS applicability is summarized in Table 1 above. Consistent with current DAQ policy, diesel
fired emergency engines do not have any required M/R/R with respect to this regulation. The engines will be identified in the
permit as necessary.
Applicable to Non-NSPS Subpart IIII affected sources only
15A NCAC 2D .0521: CONTROL OF VISIBLE EMISSIONS Under this rule, each source is subject to a 20 percent opacity limit when averaged over a 6-minute period (with some
exceptions).
2D .0521(b) states (paraphrased):
(b) Scope. This Rule shall apply to all fuel burning sources and to other processes that may have a visible emission.
However, sources subject to a visible emission standard in Rules .0506, .0508, .0524, .0543, .0544, .1110, .1111,
.1205, .1206, .1210, .1211, or .1212 of this Subchapter shall meet that standard instead of the standard contained in
this Rule.
Thus, the engines that are subject to 2D .0524 NSPS Subpart IIII, which has a “smoke standard,” are not subject to this rule.
Thus, this rule only applies to the non-NSPS affected engines. The NSPS applicability is summarized in Table 1 above.
Consistent with current DAQ policy, diesel fired emergency engines do not have any required M/R/R with respect to this
regulation. The engines will be identified in the permit as necessary.

15A NCAC 2D .0524: NEW SOURCE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart IIII - Standards of
Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines
As stated in the permit application:
Thirty-seven (37) of the emergency generators are subject to this regulation and comply with the emission
standards for new non-road compression ignition (CI) engines in 40 CFR 60.4202. All of these units are classified
as emergency stationary internal combustion engines in accordance with 40 CFR 60.4219. Each generator has
been issued a certificate of conformity by EPA; these certificates are presented in Appendices B through GG.
As noted in Table 1: five (5) emergency generators and the back-up pump are not subject to this regulation. These
units were manufactured prior to 2006 and installed at MCIEAST-MCB CAIVILEJ during the same time period.
Because the units were manufactured prior to the applicability date for Subpart IIII (1 April 2006), in accordance
with 40 CFR 60.4200(a)(2) they are not subject to the regulation.
All of the generators (including those not subject to 40 CFR 60, Subpart IIII) and the backup pump are equipped
with a non-resettable hour meter and each unit has a displacement of less than 30 liters per cylinder. In addition,
the units burn ULS diesel fuel with a maximum sulfur content of 15 ppm and a minimum cetane index of 50 or a
maximum aromatic content of 35 volume percent. None of the units are equipped with diesel particulate filters to
comply with emission standards.
To demonstrate compliance with Subpart IIII, MCIEAST-MCB CAMLEJ operates and maintains the generators
per the manufacturers' specifications. Each generator is operated for less than 100 hours per year during
maintenance checks and readiness testing. The results of inspections and maintenance are maintained in logbooks.
MCIEAST –MCB CAMLEJ also submits a summary of these inspection and maintenance activities in the semi-
annual report.
This engineer agrees with these statements. These engines have identical requirements to engines already in the permit. These
engines will simply be added to the appropriate listing in the air permit.
MAXIMUM ACHIEVABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY - 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ, National Emissions
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines.
As stated in the permit application:
All of the emergency generators and the back-up pump are subject to this regulation. Five (5) emergency
generators and the back-up pump meet the definition of existing stationary RICE in accordance with 40 CFR.
63.6590(a)(1). These units are identified in Table 1 as not being subject to the NSPS requirements of 40 CFR
60Subpart IIII.
Emergency generator A-BM-883-01 has a site rating greater than 500 horsepower and was installed prior to
December 2002. In accordance with 40 CPR 63.6590(b)(3)(iiii), there are no requirements applicable to this unit
under Subpart ZZZZ.
The other five (5) existing RICE have site ratings of less than or equal to 500 horsepower. As such, these
emergency generators are subject to operating and maintenance, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting
requirements. The requirements applicable to these emergency generators are specified in Title V permit
condition 2.l.M.4.
The remaining thirty-seven (37) emergency generators meet the definition of new stationary RICE in accordance
with 40 CFR 63.6590(a)(2). The two (2) generators that have a site rating greater than 500 HP are subject to
limited requirements in accordance with 40 CFR 63.65900(b)(l). Specifically, an initial notification must be
submitted for these sources; there are no other requirements for these sources under Subpart ZZZZ. Initial
notification for emergency generators A-PP-5-01 and C-AS-498-01 is presented in Appendix HH.
In accordance with 40 CFR 63.6590(c)(6), sources that have a rating less than or equal to 500 HP must meet the
requirements of Subpart ZZZZ by meeting the requirements of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart IIII. There are no other
requirements for these sources under Subpart ZZZZ.
This engineer agrees with these statements. These engines have identical requirements to engines already in the permit. These
engines will simply be added to the appropriate listing in the air permit.

State Enforceable Only
15A NCAC 2D .1806: CONTROL AND PROHIBITION OF ODOROUS EMISSIONS
The addition of the combustion is not expected to affect compliance with this rule. MCBCL already has similar sources and has
such a large facility footprint that it is not expected to create off-site odor problems.
15A NCAC 2D. 0530: PREVENTION OF SIGNIFICANT DETERIORATION
The subject facility is considered a major source for PSD applicability purposes. To date, separate funding of projects at
military bases has been used as justification to not consider all contemporaneous modifications as a single PSD project. This
“modification” is in reality an update to the accuracy of the air permit. Thus, each of these engines is really tied to projects that
happened in the past. The Permittee claims that these engines if considered one “project” would not trigger PSD since:
… the increases in emissions associated with the requested changes are less than the PSD significant emission
rates (SER) for carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), total particulate matter
(PM), volatile organic compounds (VOC), lead (Pb), and greenhouse gasses (measured as carbon dioxide
equivalent [CO2e]).
This engineer agrees with this statement. In general, NOx is the controlling pollutant when considering PSD applicability for
IC engines. This project involves the net “addition” of 6279 BHP (adding 6528 BHP and removing 249 BHP) of
emergency/backup capacity. Utilizing the AP-42 emission factor for NOx (0.0242 lb/HP-hr) results in an “increase” of 39 tpy
of NOx. Note that most of these engines are certified to meet the applicable NSPS IIII NOx emission limit which differs for
different years/sizes of engines but at its greatest is 6.9 g/HP-hr (or 0.0152 lb/HP-hr), much less than the AP-42 factor. The
permit application does include each engine’s emissions estimates but the above discussion provides a much more succinct
summary.
Given each engines relatively small contribution to each project in which it should have been accounted it seems unnecessary
to revisit each previous project’s PSD applicability. Note that most projects have had separate finding mechanism which
resulted in most projects having emissions much less than the PSD significance thresholds anyway. No further review is
necessary.
15A NCAC 02D .1100 - CONTROL OF TOXIC AIR POLLUTANTS
IMPORTANT NOTE: - The following analysis includes sources subject to a MACT as well as some sources that have
subsequently been determined to be exempt from the MACT (i.e. certain boilers not used to generate steam) and hence subject
to toxics. Given that this presented analysis would be considered more conservative, reaches the same conclusion and would
be less confusing to the lay reader than to understand the difference between a source subject to 2D .1100 but not included in
an analysis per 2Q .0701(c) versus a source subject to MACT and exempt from 2D .1100 per NC Session law 2012-91, the
original analysis will remain unchanged.
On 28 June 2012, North Carolina Session Law 2012-91 was enacted. This law requires the DAQ to
Upon receipt of a permit application for a new source or facility, or for the modification of an
existing source or facility, that would result in an increase in the emission of toxic air pollutants,
the Department shall review the application to determine if the emission of toxic air pollutants
from the source or facility would present an unacceptable risk to human health.
Then, if a determination is made that these sources do not pose a risk as described above, the sources are not subject to 15A
NCAC 2Q .0700 or 2D .1100.
This application represents the ninth time the facility has been modified to add and remove combustion sources that are subject
to a standard under 40 CFR 63 since the facility had conducted a facility-wide modeling demonstration. During each of the
permitting actions since the last facility-wide modeling demonstration (permit no. T27), a justification was made that each of
the modifications would not pose an unacceptable risk to human health. The following table describes the strategy taken during
each permitting action.

Permit
No. Description
T27 2D .1100 facility-wide modeling demonstration
T28 The modification involved 22 new external natural gas fired external combustion sources for a total heat input of 11
MMBtu/hr and 2 new diesel-fired emergency engines with a total brake horsepower of 938 BHP. This was prior to
the passing of SL 2012-91. Given that:
1.the modeling demonstration was fairly recent and very conservative; and
2. the modification was relatively small;
placeholder language was simply included in the permit to include these sources in any future modeling analysis.
T29 This application was a “PART II” application addressing modifications prior to T27. Hence, the requirements of SL
2012-91 did not need to be addressed.
T30 The modification involved 25 new external natural gas fired external combustion sources for a total heat input of
23.8 MMBtu/hr and 11 new diesel-fired emergency engines with a total brake horsepower of 4136 BHP.
A zone by zone analysis was conducted, comparing the addition of the new sources with the emissions modeled in
T27. It was shown that the increases in emissions associated with this modification as well as those discussed in
T28) were small.
T31 The modification involved 37 new external natural gas fired external combustion sources for a total heat input of
16.2 MMBtu/hr, 9 new diesel-fired emergency engines with a total brake horsepower of 1267 BHP and the removal
of 28 diesel-fired emergency engines with a total brake horsepower of 4103 BHP. It was shown that there was a net
decrease in emissions associated with this modification alone and therefore NC Toxics review was not triggered..
T32 The modification involved 24 new external natural gas fired external combustion sources for a total heat input of 17
MMBtu/hr, the removal of 5 No.2 fuel oil fired combustion sources with a total heat input of 7.5 MMBtu/hr, 31 new
diesel-fired emergency engines with a total brake horsepower of 11599 BHP and the removal of 1 diesel-fired
emergency engine with a total brake horsepower of 55.44 BHP. Given the size of this modification, the net changes
in each TAP for each zone since the last modeling analysis (permit no. T27) were compared to the allowable
emission rates. Thus, the modifications addressed in permit nos. T28, T30 and T31 were considered.
T33 This was a renewal application. It resulted in the removal of 14 No.2 fuel oil-fired external combustion sources for a
total heat input of 39.9 MMBtu/hr, and the removal of 11diesel-fired emergency engines with a total brake
horsepower of 2538 BHP. Thus, there was a net decrease in the potential emissions of all TAPs related to the
combustion sources and therefore NC Toxics review was not triggered. No “unacceptable risk” analysis was
conducted or necessary.
T34 This modification involved the removal of 26 boilers and the addition of 30 boilers with a net decrease in heat input
capacity of 38 MMBtu/hr and the removal of 11 engines and the addition of 7 engines with a net increase of 9 BHP.
It was concluded there was essentially no net change in TAP emissions.
T35 This modification involved the addition of 428 boilers, process heaters and hot water heaters all fired by natural gas
and all with heat input capacities that do not exceed 3.78 MMBtu/hr. The overall total heat input for these sources is
162 MMBtu/hr. Since the intent of these units is to supplant steam demand from the centralized No.2 and coal fired
boilers, which have higher TAP emission rates on a per heat input basis, it was reasoned that there would be no net
increase in TAP emissions associated with this modification.
T36 This modification consisted of the construction and operation of 92 boilers, process heaters and hot water heaters all
fired by natural gas and all with heat input capacities that do not exceed 1.25 MMBtu/hr. The overall total heat input
for these sources is 39.3 MMBtu/hr. This modification also includes the addition of 12 diesel-fuel fired emergency
generators with a total BHP of 2952 BHP and the removal of 9 diesel-fuel fired emergency generators with a total
BHP of 2946 BHP.
Similar to T35, the heat input of the boilers is intended to supplant steam demand from the centralized No.2 and coal
fired boilers, which have higher TAP emission rates on a per heat input basis. With respect to the engines there was
only a net gain of 6 BHP. Thus, the net increases in TAP emissions were very small and certainly not enough to pose
“an unacceptable risk to human health.”
In summary then, only the emissions decreases associated with the removal of emergency engine capacity and boiler capacity
in permit no. T33 has not been used to support any assertion of ‘unacceptable risk to human health” associated with any one
modification.
The “proposed” project “effectively” will result in an increase in 6279 BHP of emergency engine capacity. If one takes into
consideration the “reductions” achieved in T33 (2538 BHP) there is still an increase in capacity of the emergency engines of
3741 BHP. Thus, some further analysis is warranted.
Page 8 of 10
Since as shown in Table 1 above, the modifications in permit nos. T34, T35 and T36 were shown to pose no unacceptable risk
individually, those emissions were not included in this analysis. Thus, this analysis includes the modifications addressed in T28
through T33 and the current modification. Table 2 summarizes the sources included in this analysis.
Table 2
In the most recent modeling demonstration the MCBCL facility was divided into four zones. Hence this review will consider
any emissions increase and decreases on a “per zone” basis.
All emissions calculations are based on AP-42 emission factors, which is consistent with the emission rates previously
modeled. All engines are assumed to operate 500 hours per year given current EPA permitting policy for emergency engines.
All boilers assumed to operate 8760 hours per year. The emissions were then compared to the emission rates previously
modeled for the specific pollutants appropriate averaging period (e.g. formaldehyde 1-hour basis, benzene annual basis). These
calculations are included in the spreadsheet “AppNo.6700011.14D-5B –Analysis-Calculations.xls.”
The first step in this review is to determine for which pollutants there was an increase in emissions previously modeled. Then
for these pollutants, further examination will be made to determine if the emissions increases are likely to cause the given
pollutant’s Acceptable Ambient Level (AAL) to be exceeded.
Table 3 below shows the change in the PTE for each TAP as a percentage of the modeled allowable emissions. For example, in
Zone A, since the last modeling demonstration (permit No. T27) the potential hourly formaldehyde emissions have increased
by 1.4 % on an hourly basis and the potential annual benzene emissions have increased in Zone B by 0.24%.
Page 9 of 10
Table 3
Note that for the majority of pollutants, the increases in emissions over those modeled were well under 0.1% and in many cases
potential emissions went down. So, to focus further review let’s consider the pollutants, that as a result of the modifications
considered, have increases in emissions of at least 1/10 of 1 percent over those previously modeled. These are formaldehyde,
benzene, arsenic, and non-specific chromium compounds as CrVI.
The following excerpt is from the review for permit no. T27, issued on 2/20/2012.
All sources were modeled operating at their maximum capacity. In most cases, this occurred over 8760 hours
per year, with the exceptions being emergency generators, which operated over 500 hours per year.
All requested permitted emission rates were the result of increasing each sources’ PTE of a specific TAP by an
optimization factor such that 98% of the AAL guideline was obtained.
Consider the following optimization factors used in the previous modeling analysis:
Zone A: formaldehyde: 1.64
Zone A: benzene: 1.06
Zone B: arsenic: 1.04
Zone B: benzene: 1.00
Zone B: non-specific chromium (vi) compounds, as chromium (vi) equivalent 1.07
Thus, for example, the potential emissions of arsenic in zone B could be increased by 4% before the model would
underestimate the impact with respect to the Arsenic AAL that would result from the true potential emissions. Although the
impacts of a source’s emissions are a function of the dispersion parameters and location (e.g., location to the “fenceline”) it
also must be noted this discussion here centers on potential emissions. Thus, ALL the boilers must operate 8760 hours per year
and (even less likely) ALL the emergency generators must operate 500 hours per year. Such a scenario is highly unlikely and
certainly would be indicative of an emergency of catastrophic proportions. Thus, for example, even though benzene was not
optimized, its’ increase in potential emissions of 0.14% in Zone A is highly unlikely to cause an issue with the AAL.
Page 10 of 10
The most likely scenario would be a short term emergency. Assume an emergency lasting only 1-hour. If such was the case
that all sources on site were operating, including all the emergency generators, the model suggests that all the formaldehyde
emissions in Zone A could be increased by 64% before 98% of the AAL would even be achieved.
Based on the following, the MACT affected sources (and indeed any of the combustion sources considered) included in the
modifications considered here since the last modeling demonstration can be exempted from 2D .1100 because it is highly
unlikely their operation poses an “unacceptable risk to human health”:
Most increases in potential TAP emissions were less than 1/10 of 1 percent or decreased over the previously modeled
emission rates
Only four TAPs increased their potential emissions greater than at least 1/10 of 1 percent over those previously
modeled rates
With the exception of benzene in Zone A, all had their potential emissions optimized such that a modeled 98% of the
AAL impact was achieved.
The actual emissions of these pollutants are much less than the potential emissions, most notably because they result
significantly from emergency engines.

I. Introduction
Camp Lejeune Marine Corp Base (MCBCL) is located in Onslow County. MCBCL is requesting to construct and operate
numerous new combustion sources as described in Section III of this review. Because the modification is significant, but will
not contradict or contravene with a condition in the existing permit, the Permittee has requested the application to be processed
in two steps as allowed pursuant to 15A NCAC 2Q .0504. This application represents step 1, which will follow the 15A NCAC
2Q .0300 (State Only) procedures. The permittee shall have one year from the date of beginning operation of the sources to file
an amended application following the TV permitting procedures (15A NCAC 2Q .0500). A permit condition will be placed in
the construction and operation permit issued under the 2Q .0300 procedures stating this requirement.
II. Chronology
Date Description
10/27/2015 Applicability determination was received and assigned no. 2727
11/3/2015 Mr. Voelker sent Mr. Voorhees and email requesting additional information to address 2D .1100 and 2D
.0530 applicability
11/24/2015 Information requested on 11/03/2015 was received via email.
12/9/2015
Mr. Voelker sent an email to Mr. Voorhees explaining that one of the projects considered in the applicability
determination no. 2727 had projected actual emissions of CO2e that exceeded the significance threshold. As
such, that project would be subject to the recordkeeping requirements of 15A NCAC 2D .0544(m). The
DAQ's position on this is that these are applicable requirements and involve a case- by case- regulatory
applicability determination. As such, a significant permit modification (one step or two step) will be required
to add the requirements of 2D .0544(m) to the permit. Therefore, these sources will need to be permitted.
12/10/2015
A phone conference occurred with Mr . Voelker, Willets and Cuilla of the DAQ and Mr. Voorhees, plant
contact and Lori Cress consultant. The DAQ explained its position stated in the 12/09/2015 email and what
was needed to process the application in the most expedient manner, which is the two-step process pursuant
to 2Q .0504. It was noted that although the applicability determination was made up of multiple projects,
only the sources in the project triggering 2D .0544 were subject to permitting requirements. The other
sources will simply be added to the insignificant activities list.
12/30/2015 Application was received and assigned application no. 6700011.15B
Page 3 of 16
III. Project description
The following text is from the application cover letter.
Marine Corps Base (MCB) Camp Lejeune [Facility ID 6700011] is in the process of adding 338 natural
gas-fired boilers and hot water heaters as part of a single decentralization project (P1449B). These units
have heat input capacities between 0.199 and 3 million Btu (British Thermal Units) per hour and are all
equipped with low NOx (Oxides of Nitrogen) burners. These external combustion units are being installed
to reduce energy usage intensity aboard the installation.
During the review of our October 2015 permit determination submittal, the North Carolina Division of
Air Quality (NC DAQ) concluded that, as a result of the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions being
potentially added as part of this single project, a PSD (Prevention of Significant Deterioration) Avoidance
condition would need to be added to our Title V permit (Permit No. 06591T37). Per your electronic
correspondence dated 10 December 2015, we are submitting the additional information requested to
process a permit modification for the emission sources being added to our facility as part of
decentralization project P1449B only.
As discussed in the chronology in Section II. this project, like the other projects discussed in the applicability determination, is
made up of sources that each meet the definition of an insignificant activity because of size or production rate pursuant to 15A
NCAC 2AQ .0503.
To ensure continued understanding of all the projects at the facility, a brief explanation of all the projects is as follows:
Project Descriptions & Schedules
MCB CAMLEJ and MCAS New River currently operate six central heating (i.e., steam) plants that provide steam and/or
hot water to various portions of the base. Executive Orders have mandated reductions in the energy usage intensity aboard
the installation. To meet these energy reduction goals, MCB CAMLEJ and MCAS New River are implementing several
projects to replace the steam plants with small natural gas-fired boilers, process heaters, and hot water heaters that will
be located in buildings currently served by the steam plants. Upon formalization of the decentralization efforts, the
installation will decommission the steam plants. In addition to reducing the energy usage intensity aboard the
installation, these decentralization efforts will substantially reduce air pollution emissions generated aboard MCB
CAMLEJ and MCAS New River.
A majority of the emission sources being addressed in this permit determination are associated with steam plant
decentralization projects and other miscellaneous infrastructure improvement projects. Specific projects and their
associated equipment are described below. Each of these projects has been funded separately with an independent
funding mechanism.
Decentralization Project P14498
Under this project, MCB CAMLEJ is making heating-system modifications at various locations within the French Creek
and Hadnot Point areas. Ninety-nine (99) natural gas-fired external combustion sources are being installed in 26
buildings located within the French Creek area. Two hundred fifty-three (253) natural gas-fired external combustion
sources are being installed in 63 buildings located within the Hadnot Point area. This is part of the installation's effort to
replace the Building HP-1700 steam plant.
Decentralization Project P1449
Under this project, MCB CAMLEJ is making heating-system modifications at various locations within the Courthouse
Bay area. Twenty-six (26) natural gas-fired external combustion sources are being installed in 6 buildings located within
the area. This is part of the installation's effort to replace the Building BB-9 steam plant.
Decentralization Project 13-0078
Under this project, MCB CAMLEJ is making heating-system modifications at various locations within the Camp Geiger
area. Nine (9) natural gas-fired external combustion sources are being installed in 9 buildings located within the area.
This is part of the installation's effort to replace the Building CG-650 steam plant.
Project 14-0062
Page 4 of 16
Under this project, MCB CAMLEJ is making heating-system modifications within the Tarawa Terrace residential area.
The existing No.2 fuel oil-fired water heater located at Building TT-2457 is being replaced with a natural gas-fired water
heater.
Project 14-0171
Under this project, MCB CAMLEJ is installing one diesel-fired emergency generator at _Building M-303, located within
the Camp Johnson area. This unit will replace an existing 35 KW unit located at Building M-303.
Project ER-14-116
Under this project, MCB CAMLEJ is installing one diesel-fired emergency generator at Building SSR45, located within
the Greater Sandy Run area.
MLCON Project P1383/ P1384
Under this MLCON project, MCB CAMLEJ is installing two diesel-fired emergency generators at Buildings TT-13
and TT-18, located within the Tarawa Terrace residential area. These emergency generators are in support of the new
Wilson Creek Gatehouse.
Starling Communication Tower Generator Upgrade
MCB CAMLEJ is installing one new diesel-fired emergency generator at the Starling Communication Tower in Training
Area Q.
MCAS Epoxy Curing Bench
MCB CAMLEJ is in the process of installing an epoxy curing bench/fiberglass repair operation aboard the MCAS
New River portion of the installation. The operation is similar to existing sources I-C-AS-265-02 and I-C-AS-3900-04.
Table 1 below shows an emission summary for all the projects discussed above. Note that only the projects P1449 and P1449B,
if each entire project were considered a single emission source, would not meet the definition of an insignificant activity
because of size or production rate pursuant to 15A NCAC 2AQ .0503 ( insignificant activity). A review of the individual
sources in each project shows that each project does consist of insignificant activities. Except for PSD considerations, these
projects would not trigger any permitting requirements.
For PSD considerations, each of the projects are considered independently As indicated in the applicability determination
request letter ( and the subsequent application), each of the projects as indicated above have been funded separately, each with
an independent funding mechanism. Examination of Table 1 shows only project P1449B exceeds the PSD applicability for any
regulated pollutant, in this case CO2e, which has a significance threshold of 75,000 tpy. Note Table 1 suggests that the PSD
significance threshold for NOX has been exceeded; however, it is only exceeded if the independent projects are aggregated
which is not required under PSD.
Table 1.
Page 5 of 16
The Permittee also supplied the following netting calculation (Table 2) which shows that since the projects are to reduce
demand on the existing coal fired boilers, the net emissions increase will be below PSD thresholds. Note that only project
P1449B is in question. The other projects shown have already demonstrated that PSD review is not triggered.
Table 2
The only way to make this reduction in emissions from the boiler in demand creditable under PSD (41. CFR 51.166(3)(vi) is to
make it enforceable as a “practical matter”, which can be most expediently accomplished via a 2D .0544(m) recordkeeping
permit condition.
In summary only the emission sources associated with project P1449B will be discussed further. All other sources will simply
be added to the insignificant activities list (a total of 374 boilers and water heaters and five emergency engines). Whether a
source is on Section 1 of the permit or the attached insignificant activities list, it is still subject to all applicable air quality rules
and regulations.
The following 338 external combustion sources in Table 3 are associated with project 1449B.

IV. Regulatory Review Typically a full regulatory review is not presented for insignificant activities. However, given the “unusual middle ground” this
permitting action presents, a regulatory review for the sources that will be subject to the 2D .0544(m) recordkeeping condition
will be provided.
15A NCAC 2D .0516: SULFUR DIOXIDE EMISSIONS FROM COMBUSTION SOURCES All the water heaters and boilers will combust natural gas and or LPG and are subject to the 2.3 pounds per million Btu heat
input limitation Using AP-42 emission factors, the combustion of natural gas or LPG is expected to result in SO2 emissions
on the order of 5.9E-04 and 1.1 E-04 lb/MMBtu respectively. Compliance is expected by a wide margin.
15A NCAC 2D .0521: CONTROL OF VISIBLE EMISSIONS
The combustion of natural gas or LPG usually results (based on experience of other permitted sources at the subject facility
and in general) in visible emissions well below the 20% allowed by this rule. Compliance is expected by a wide margin.
For residential facilities or institutions (such as military and educational) whose primary fuel burning capacity is for
comfort heat, only those fuel burning indirect heat exchangers located in the same power plant or building or otherwise
physically interconnected (such as common flues, steam, or power distribution line) shall be used to determine the total
heat input.
With the above considerations, each project and in general, each installation, can be evaluated independently.
Combustion of natural gas and LPG, based on AP-42 emission factors, is expected to produce PM emissions much less than
those allowed by this rule.
Compliance is expected by a wide margin.
15A NCAC 2D .0524: NEW SOURCE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Dc, New Source Performance Standards for Small Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam
Generating Units is potentially applicable to these sources. However, all of the water heaters and boilers have heat input
capacities of less than 10 million Btu per hour, the applicability threshold pursuant to 40CFR 60.40c(a). Thus, this rule does
not apply to any of the sources in this modification.
15A NCAC 2D .1111: MAXIMUM ACHIEVABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDDD, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Major Sources:
Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters
The following is excerpted from the regulatory review for the applicability determination request. Note the referenced Table 1
of the application is the same as Table 3 above.
MCB CAMLEJ and MCAS New River are classified as a major source of HAPs and the boilers identified in Table 1 are subject to Subpart DDDDD. These boilers were constructed after 4 June 2010 and are categorized as "new" in accordance with 40 CFR 63.7490(b). The sources will burn natural gas and are categorized as subcategory (1) sources, i.e., sources designed to burn natural gas, refinery gas, or other gas 1 fuels, in accordance with §63.7499(1).
The boilers identified in Table 1 (3 above) are similar to those covered by permit condition number 2.l.F
in that they burn natural gas, have heat input capacities of less than 10.0 million Btu per hour each, and
are categorized as new sources. As a result, they are subject to the same requirements with respect to
Subpart DDDDD as the combustion sources currently covered by permit condition 2.1.F. Specifically,
the units are subject to work practice standards, recordkeeping requirements, and reporting requirements
as described in permit condition number 2.1.F.4. As new sources, they will comply with applicable
requirements upon startup as required by permit condition number 2.1.F.4.d.
The water heaters identified in Table 1 ( 3 above) have heat input capacities of less than 1.6 million Btu
per hour and, as such, are classified as hot water heaters in accordance with 40 CFR 63.7575. These hot
water heaters are not subject to Subpart DDDDD in accordance with 40 CFR 63.7491(d).

This engineer agrees with the above statements.
V. Facility-wide regulatory considerations
State Enforceable Only
15A NCAC 2D .1806: CONTROL AND PROHIBITION OF ODOROUS EMISSIONS
The addition of the combustion sources are not expected to affect compliance with this rule. MCBCL already has similar
sources and has such a large facility footprint that it is not expected to create off-site odor problems.
15A NCAC 2D. 0530: PREVENTION OF SIGNIFICANT DETERIORATION The subject facility is considered a major source for PSD applicability purposes. To date, separate funding of projects at
military bases has been used as justification to not consider all contemporaneous modifications as a single PSD project. As
stated in Section III above, the boilers and water heaters associated with project P1449B have potential CO2e (effectively the
same as CO2 for natural gas combustion sources) emissions greater than 75,000 tpy. The Permittee has shown that through
netting calculations (Table 2 in Section III above) the increase in emissions associated with the operation of the new boilers
and water heaters will be offset by the reduction in emissions associated with the reduced demand of boiler A-HP-1700.
The rule, 15A NCAC 2D .0544 “Prevention of Significant Deterioration Requirements for Greenhouse Gases” at paragraph
(m) provides
the owner or operator shall maintain records of annual emissions in tons per year, on a calendar year basis related to the modifications for 10 years following resumption of regular operations after the change if the project involves increasing the emissions unit's design capacity or its potential to emit the regulated NSR pollutant; otherwise these records shall be maintained for five years following resumption of regular operations after the change. The owner or operator shall submit a report to the Director within 60 days after the end of each year during which these records must be generated. The report shall contain the items listed in 40 CFR 51.166(r)(6)(v)(a) through (c). The owner or operator shall make the information documented and maintained under this Paragraph available to the Director or the general public pursuant to the requirements in 40 CFR 70.4(b)(3)(viii).
In context, the facility is adding heat input capacity but is not increasing any emission unit’s design capacity as mentioned
above. A permit condition will be placed into the permit requiring the Permittee to calculate the actual CO2e emissions as
required at 40 CFR 51.166(r)(6)(v)(a)through(c) associated with this project for 5 years. The permit will also require
recordkeeping and reporting pursuant to 2D .0544(m).
15A NCAC 02D .1100 - CONTROL OF TOXIC AIR POLLUTANTS On 28 June 2012, North Carolina Session Law 2012-91 was enacted. This law requires the DAQ to
Upon receipt of a permit application for a new source or facility, or for the modification of an
existing source or facility, that would result in an increase in the emission of toxic air pollutants,
the Department shall review the application to determine if the emission of toxic air pollutants
from the source or facility would present an unacceptable risk to human health.
Then, if a determination is made that these sources do not pose a risk as described above, the sources are not subject to 15A
NCAC 2Q .0700 or 2D .1100.
This application represents the tenth time the facility has been modified to add and/or remove combustion sources that are
subject to a standard under 40 CFR 63 since the facility had conducted a facility-wide modeling demonstration. During each of
the permitting actions since the last facility-wide modeling demonstration (permit no. T27), a justification was made that each
of the modifications would not pose an unacceptable risk to human health. The Permittee supplied the following analysis
(Table 4 below) with the applicability determination no. 2727 and addresses all the projects under (or soon to be under)
construction, not just project P1449B.
The Permittee has simply shown what percentage the new emissions represent of the existing TAP emission limitations in the
current permit. Note that all increases are well under 0.1%. Given that the purpose of the new combustion sources is to meet
the demands that are currently being met by the current boilers, it is expected that the TAP emissions from the new sources will
be offset by the decreases in emissions from the existing large centralized boilers. Considering that the existing boilers are fired
with coal, which generally have greater TAP emission rates, and keeping all other considerations equal, it would be expected
that a decrease in TAP emissions would be associated with this project. However, given the new combustion sources will be
installed closer to the sources of demand and hence will experience less transmission losses associated with long lengths of
Page 14 of 16
steam piping as they currently exist at the facility, the net combustion efficiency is expected to increase which will also
contribute to the net reduction in TAP emission rates.
Based on the above discussion, the MACT affected sources (and indeed any of the combustion sources considered) included in
the modifications considered here since the last modeling demonstration can be exempted from 2D .1100 because it is highly
unlikely their operation poses an “unacceptable risk to human health”:
