2 I. DEFINITIONS The terms and phrases listed used in this document shall have the same meaning as in N.J.A.C. 7:27-22, and/or as listed below: Department means the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. Distillates of Air means helium (He), nitrogen (N 2 ), oxygen (O 2 ), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), and xenon (Xe). Emission Point means the location where air contaminants are physically released into the atmosphere. An emission point can be, but is not limited to, multiple stacks, wall vents, chimneys, conduits, openings, windows, doors, or general building ventilation exhausts located in a single room. Greenhouse Gas means any of the following gases: carbon dioxide (CO 2 ); methane (CH 4 ); nitrous oxide (N 2 O); certain hydrofluorocarbons (HFC-23, HFC- 125, HFC-134a, HFC-143a, HFC-152a, HFC-227ea, HFC-236fa, HFC-4310mee); certain perfluorocarbons (CF 4, C 2 F 6, C 4 F 10, C 6 F 14 ); and sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ). Non-Hazardous Air Pollutant or Non-HAP means an air contaminant that is not listed in or pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 7412(b). 112(r) Contaminant means an air contaminant that is listed by EPA pursuant to 42 U.S.C as a substance which, in the case of an accidental release, is known to cause or may reasonably be anticipated to cause death, injury, or serious adverse effects to human health or the environment. Potential To Emit or PTE means the maximum aggregate capacity of a source operation to emit an air contaminant under its physical and operational design. Source-related fugitive emissions shall be included in the determination of potential to emit. For the purpose of this, physical and operational limitations on the capacity of a source operation or the emission of an air contaminant, including any limitation on fugitive emissions as a result of any applicable requirement, control apparatus, and restrictions on hours of operation or on the type or amount of material processed, are not considered part of its design. Reporting Threshold means the quantity of air contaminant emissions above which a source operation is not eligible for this. The quantity of air contaminant emissions is based on the uncontrolled potential to emit (PTE) from a source operation for all air contaminants specified in Section VI of this document. Note: Thresholds for some of the air contaminants specified in Section VI are more stringent than the reporting thresholds in N.J.A.C. 7:27-8 and 22. Page 2 of 14

3 Source Operation means any process, or any identifiable part thereof, that emits or can reasonably be anticipated to emit any air contaminant either directly or indirectly into the outdoor atmosphere. A source operation may include one or more pieces of equipment or control apparatus. Stratospheric Ozone Depleting Substance means an air contaminant that is listed in 42 U.S.C. 7671a(a) or 7671a(b), or promulgated by EPA in a Federal rule, as a substance that has either been found to cause or contribute significantly, or may reasonably be anticipated to cause or contribute, to harmful effects on the stratospheric ozone layer. Toxic Substance or TXS means a substance listed in Table 1 of N.J.A.C. 7: II. AUTHORITY AND STATEMENT OF BASIS This is issued under the authority of N.J.S.A. 26:2C An opportunity for public comment on this was provided on October 3, Qualifying applicants can apply for, and operate under, a General Operating Permit, rather than submitting a regular permit application requiring case-by-case processing by the Department. This permit limits any individual air pollutant to be emitted at a rate not to exceed the hourly reporting threshold for that pollutant, as specified in Section VI. Protection of ambient air quality has been addressed by ensuring that emissions are below reporting thresholds. The source categories covered by this are equipment in which the combined weight of all raw materials used exceeds 50 pounds in any one hour, in accordance with Item 6 in the definition of "significant source operation" in N.J.A.C. 7: In determining the weight of the raw materials used, the weight of the following shall be excluded, in accordance with Item 6.ii in the definition of "significant source operation: in N.J.A.C. 7: : air; water; containers, as long as the container is not consumed as part of the operation; and paper, metal or plastic that is twisted, bent or folded in the operation, as long as it does not cause visible emissions. Examples of the types of equipment that could qualify for this include, but are not limited to, blenders, conveying systems, extruders, mixers, and reactors. Please read Sections III and IV for additional details on the types of equipment that are eligible for this permit. The conditions of approval for this permit are based on applicable requirements in state and federal air pollution control rules. Each condition in the permit includes the citation of the applicable requirement on which the condition is based. The includes monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements that are sufficient to demonstrate the facility s compliance with the applicable requirements consistent with the following: Page 3 of 14

4 1. Provisions to implement the testing and monitoring requirements of N.J.A.C. 7: , the recordkeeping and reporting requirements of N.J.A.C. 7: , and all emissions monitoring and analysis procedures or compliance assurance methods required under the applicable requirements, including any procedures and methods promulgated pursuant to 40 CFR 64; and 2. Where the applicable requirement does not require direct periodic monitoring of emissions, the Department requires periodic monitoring of surrogate parameters sufficient to yield reliable data from the relevant time period that are representative of the facility's compliance with the permit. Such monitoring requirements may include predictive emissions monitoring, mass/material balance, and/or calculations involving the usage of production data and AP-42 emission factors or other EPA-approved emissions estimation methodologies. Because eligibility for this permit is based primarily on the source operation's potential to emit, permittees are required to calculate maximum potential hourly emissions for each product and/or process to ensure that emissions of all air contaminants are below the reporting thresholds specified in Section VI. Emissions shall be calculated using a combination of production records and one of the following methods: continuous emission monitoring; source emission testing; mass/material balance; AP-42 emission factors or other EPA-approved emission estimation methodologies, or selection of a source emission test for a similar size unit from the AP-42 basis and background documents; or manufacturer's specifications or estimates. Very low emission limits (no more than 0.05 pounds per hour per pollutant before control) established with the approval of this permit make it unlikely for a qualifying source to cause visible emissions, exclusive of water vapor. Therefore, the Department is not specifying a periodic monitoring or recordkeeping requirement to demonstrate compliance with the opacity limits in this permit. In the event there is an occurrence of visible emissions, this permit requires the permittee to notify the Department within 15 minutes of the event by calling the Environmental Action Hotline. The applicable requirements of this permit will be incorporated into the facility's Operating Permit. Therefore, the general requirements in the facility's Operating Permit, such as those in the General Provisions and Authorities section and Subject Item FC of the Compliance Plan, also apply to the source operation covered by this. For example, the Operating Permit includes a requirement for the permittee to prepare and submit an annual compliance certification for all applicable requirements. Permittees that obtain this will be required to address all of the applicable Page 4 of 14

5 requirements of this permit in subsequent compliance certifications for the Operating Permit. III. APPLICABILITY This shall apply to a one source operation having a single emission point with an uncontrolled potential to emit (PTE) less than the hourly reporting threshold, specified in Section VI of this document, for all air contaminant emissions. All significant source operations venting through the emission point must be identified in this. Unless otherwise specified in Section IV, below, the following source category is eligible for this : Equipment in which the combined weight of all raw materials used exceeds 50 pounds in any one hour, in accordance with Item 6 in the definition of significant source operation in N.J.A.C. 7: In determining the weight of the raw materials used, the weight of the following shall be excluded, in accordance with Item 6.ii in the definition of significant source operation in N.J.A.C. 7: : Air; Water; Containers, as long as the container is not consumed as part of the operation; and Paper, metal or plastic that is twisted, bent or folded in the operation, as long as it does not cause visible emissions. The PTE of each air contaminant for the source operation covered by the General Operating Permit shall be less than the applicable hourly reporting thresholds listed in Section VI of this document (The thresholds in Section VI apply to the entire source operation, unlike the reporting thresholds in N.J.A.C. 7:27-22, which apply to each piece of equipment in a source operation). To determine that a permittee is eligible to receive this, the permittee shall calculate the PTE of the source operation using one of the following methods: Continuous emissions monitoring; or Predictive emissions monitoring; or Source emission testing; or Mass/Material balance; or Page 5 of 14

6 AP-42 emission factor or other EPA-approved emission estimation methodology (for example, TANKS4 and WATER9), or selection of a source emission test for a similar size unit from the AP-42 basis and background documents; or Manufacturer's specifications or estimates. This does not contain all of the facility-wide requirements a facility subject to the Operating Permit program must comply with. These requirements are already identified in the facility s Operating Permit. IV. EXCLUSIONS This shall not be used for the following sources: 1. Any source operation with more than one emission point as defined in Section I (an emission point can be, but is not limited to, multiple stacks, wall vents, chimneys, conduits, openings, windows, doors, or general building ventilation exhausts located in a single room); 2. Source operations at a facility that do not have an approved operating permit; 3. Any source operation equipped with an air pollution control apparatus if the PTE of any air contaminant before control ( uncontrolled PTE ) exceeds the hourly reporting thresholds listed in Section VI; 4. Any source operation equipped with an air pollution control apparatus if the apparatus is required by the Department to be used for odor control; 5. Any source operation with uncontrolled PTE of any air contaminant greater than or equal to the hourly reporting thresholds listed in Section VI; 6. Any source operation for which another general operating permit has been established pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7: ; 7. Any source operation subject to the requirements of N.J.A.C. 7:27-17 (Toxic Substances); 8. Any source operation subject to the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) requirements of 40 CFR or the emissions offset requirements under N.J.A.C. 7:27-18; 9. Any source operation subject to NSPS, MACT, or NESHAPS requirements; 10. Any combustion source burning any commercial or non-commercial fuel; Page 6 of 14

7 11. Any site remediation activity; and 12. Any storage tank. V. CONTROL DEVICE SPECIFICATIONS Source operations with an air pollution control apparatus are eligible for a General Operating Permit if the uncontrolled PTE (the PTE before the control apparatus) is below the hourly reporting threshold specified in Section VI for all air contaminants.

POLLUTION PREVENTION The Permittee is encouraged to implement the following pollution prevention measures for the source operation covered by this permit: 1. Conduct regular maintenance on the equipment to ensure that all machinery and processes are working efficiently. Check for leaks and spills, and perform repairs immediately (e.g. tanks, pumps, pipes, etc.). A maintenance logbook should be maintained to keep track of maintenance activities. 2. Maintain spill-kits and instruct employees in the proper use and location of the spill-kits. 3. Reduce spills by use of spigots, pumps, and funnels when dispensing or transferring liquids to and from storage containers. 4. Keep chemicals in safety cans or covered containers between uses to reduce evaporation, spills and contamination. 5. Order and manage material to reduce expiring products, and not order more inventory than needed. 6. Use the "first in, first out" inventory procedure to reduce waste due to expired material. 7. Inspect material when received for damage or off-specification, and return immediately. 8. Inspect expired material before disposal to determine if the expired material can be salvaged. 9. Review pollution prevention methods that may be of benefit to the facility in addition to those required in this Compliance Plan. VIII.
