OPERATING LIMITATIONS - : EMERGENCY GENERATORS
7. Operation of the Engine-Generator Set – The permittee shall operate and maintain each emergency engine-generator set (Ref. EG-1a & EG-2a) according to the manufacturer’s written instructions or procedures developed by the permittee that are approved by the engine manufacturer. In addition, the permittee may only change those settings that are permitted by the manufacturer and do not increase air emissions.
8. Emergency Power Generation – The emergency engine-generator sets (Ref. EG-1a & EG-
2a) shall only be operated in the following modes:
a. In situations that arise from sudden and reasonably unforeseeable events where the primary energy or power source is disrupted or disconnected due to conditions beyond the control of an owner or operator of a facility including:
i. A failure of the electrical grid;
ii. On-site disaster or equipment failure; or
iii. Public service emergencies such as flood, fire, natural disaster, or severe weather conditions.
b. For participation in an Independent System Operator (ISO) declared emergency, where an ISO emergency is:
i. An abnormal system condition requiring manual or automatic action to maintain system frequency, to prevent loss of firm load, equipment damage, or tripping of system elements that could adversely affect the reliability of an electric system or the safety of persons or property;
ii. Capacity deficiency or capacity excess conditions;
iii. A fuel shortage requiring departure from normal operating procedures in order to minimize the use of such scarce fuel;
iv. Abnormal natural events or man-made threats that would require conservative operations to posture the system in a more reliable state; or
v. An abnormal event external to the ISO service territory that may require ISO action.
c. For periodic maintenance, testing, and operational training.
When changing from Emergency Power Generation to Non-Emergency (Alternate) Power
Generation, the permittee shall submit appropriate documentation to the Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ), and receive DEQ approval for the change in the method of operation of the engine-generator set to ensure that the facility remains in compliance with the appropriate permitting requirements. Total emissions for any 12-month period, calculated as the sum of all emissions from operations under the scenarios above, shall not exceed the limits stated in Condition 13.
9. Operating Hours – No emergency engine-generator set (Ref. EG-1a & EG-2a) shall operate more than 500 hours per year, calculated monthly as the sum of each consecutive 12-month period. Compliance for the consecutive 12-month period shall be demonstrated monthly by adding the total for the most recently completed calendar month to the individual monthly totals for the preceding 11 months.
10. Fuel - The approved fuel for the emergency engine-generator sets (Ref. EG-1a & EG-2a) is diesel fuel. The diesel fuel shall meet the ASTM D975 specification for S15 diesel fuel oil with a maximum sulfur content per shipment of 0.0015%. A change in the fuel shall be considered a change in the method of operation and may require a new or amended permit.
However, if a change in the fuel is not subject to new source review permitting requirements, this condition should not be construed to prohibit such a change.
11. Fuel Certification - The permittee shall obtain a certification from the fuel supplier with each shipment of diesel fuel. Each fuel supplier certification shall include the following:
a) The name of the fuel supplier;
b) The date on which the diesel fuel was received;
c) The quantity of diesel fuel delivered in the shipment;
d) A statement that the diesel fuel complies with the American Society for Testing and
Materials specifications (ASTM D975) for S15 diesel fuel; and
e) The sulfur content of the diesel fuel.
Fuel sampling and analysis, independent of that used for certification, as may be periodically required or conducted by DEQ may be used to determine compliance with the fuel specifications stipulated in Condition 10. Exceedance of these specifications may be considered credible evidence of the exceedance of emission limits.
12. Emission Unit Replacement – The existing emergency engine-generator sets (Ref. EG-1 &
EG-2) shall be permanently shutdown prior to the start-up date of the replacement emergency engine-generator sets (Ref. EG-1a & EG-2a).
EMISSION LIMITATIONS - : EMERGENCY GENERATORS

Carbon Monoxide 6.95 lbs/hr 1.74 tons/yr
Annual emissions are calculated monthly as the sum of each consecutive 12-month period.
These emissions are derived from the estimated overall emission contribution from operating limits. Exceedance of the operating limits may be considered credible evidence of the exceedance of emission limits. Compliance with these emission limits may be determined as stated in Conditions 1, 2, 8, 9, and 10.
14. Visible Emission Limit - Visible emissions from each emergency engine-generator set (Ref.
EG-1a & EG-2a) shall not exceed five percent opacity as determined by the 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 9. This condition applies at all times except during startup, shutdown, and malfunction.
15. Emissions Testing - The permitted facility shall be constructed so as to allow for emissions testing upon reasonable notice at any time, using appropriate methods. This includes constructing the facility such that volumetric flow rates and pollutant emission rates can be accurately determined by applicable test methods and providing a stack or duct that is free from cyclonic flow. Sampling ports, safe sampling platforms, and access at appropriate locations shall be provided when requested.

OPERATING/EMISSION LIMITATIONS – : DOCUMENT DISINTEGRATOR
16. Throughput - The throughput of material processed by the document disintegrator (Ref. D-
1) shall not exceed 116.8 tons (233,500 lbs) of material per year, calculated monthly as the sum of each consecutive 12-month period. Compliance for the consecutive 12-month period shall be demonstrated monthly by adding the total for the most recently completed calendar month to the individual monthly totals for the preceding 11 months.
17. Emission Limits - Emissions from the operation of document disintegrator (Ref. D-1) shall not exceed the limits specified below:
Particulate Matter (PM) 3.29 lbs/hr 0.59 tons/yr
PM-10 3.29 lbs/hr 0.59 tons/yr
Annual emissions shall be calculated monthly as the sum of each consecutive 12-month period. These emissions are derived from the estimated overall emission contribution from operating limits. Exceedance of the operating limits may be considered credible evidence of the exceedance of emission limits. Compliance with these emission limits may be determined as stated in Conditions 3 and 16.
(9 VAC 5-50-260 and 9 VAC 5-80-1180)
18. Visible Emission Limit - Visible emissions from the document disintegrator (Ref. D-1) baghouse exhaust shall not exceed five percent opacity as determined by 40 CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 9. This condition applies at all times except during startup, shutdown, and malfunction.

b. Fails to comply with the conditions of this permit;
c. Fails to comply with any emission standards applicable to a permitted emissions unit;
d. Causes emissions from the stationary source which result in violations of, or interfere with the attainment and maintenance of, any ambient air quality standard; or
e. Fails to operate in conformance with any applicable control strategy, including any emission standards or emission limitations, in the State Implementation Plan in effect at the time an application for this permit is submitted.
(9 VAC 5-80-1210 G)
39. Right of Entry - The permittee shall allow authorized local, state, and federal representatives, upon the presentation of credentials:
