Status: In compliance. The generator operated for 6 hours over the past rolling 12 months. Source maintains records of operation and has the generator maintained by CAT Wheeler. This was viewed onsite at the time of inspection. EMISSION INVENTORY: Emissions from the generator are expected to be below the minor source threshold based on previous evaluation. The permitted generators expected emissions: Pollutants Ton/Year PM10 0.9 SO2 0.18 NOx 0.96 CO 0.22 VOC 0.03 PREVIOUS ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS: None in the past five years. COMPLIANCE STATUS & RECOMMENDATIONS: In Compliance with conditions listed within the AO. The generator is operational, however it only operates for testing and hasn’t been used for emergency situations in years. At the time of inspection information was given to Joel Yoder, who oversees this generator, on how to apply for either a Small Source Exemption or a permit revocation. Contact information was provided on how to start with that process. RECOMMENDATION FOR NEXT INSPECTION: Check to see if the source has filed for a Small Source Exemption or Permit Revocation. If so, inspection may not be required at this facility any longer. NSR RECOMMENDATION: This permit should be submitted for a 10-Year Review if the source maintains the permit as is. Otherwise, the source should be recommended to file for a Small Source Exemption or a Permit Revocation. ATTACHMENTS: None
