Within 180 days of startup, a source initial compliance test shall be conducted on a total of 3 kilns/catalytic units to measure the emission rate(s) for the pollutants listed below in order to demonstrate compliance with the annual emission limits listed in condition 8. The average of the emissions rates for the 3 kilns/catalytic units shall be used to show compliance with the emission requirements. Two of the catalytic units tested shall come from the initial units put into production (i.e. the oldest units) and one catalytic unit shall come from those produced later. The test protocol, test and test report must be in accordance with the requirements of the Air Pollution Control Division Compliance Test Manual and shall be submitted to the Division for review and approval at least thirty (30) days prior to testing. No compliance test shall be conducted without prior approval from the Division.Any compliance test conducted to show compliance with a monthly or annual emission limitation shall have the results projected up to the monthly or annuafaveraging time by multiplying the test results by the allowable number of operating hours for that averaging time (Reference: Regulation No. 3, Part B., Section III.G.3) .

The kilns/catalytic units chosen for opacity testing shall be different from the kiln/catalytic units tested for the source compliance testing in conditions 20 and 22. This measurement shall consist of a minimum twenty-four consecutive readings taken at fifteen second intervals over a six minute period. The owner or operator shall maintain records of this testing and the results shall be made available to the Division for inspection upon request. (Reference: Regulation No. 1, Section II.A.1 &4) 22. One of the three catalytic units originally tested in condition 20 shall be tested after 12 months of operation, and annually thereafter, to measure the performance of the catalytic converters with operating time. The testing protocol shall be the same as that in condition 20. The emissions AIRS ID 777/3728/ • Biochar Nox, LLC Permit No. 12PO2335 DRAFT Initial Approval Colorado Department of Public He page 7 Air Poll PERMIT rates from the annual testing of the kiln/catalytic unit shall be used to demonstrate compliance with the emissions requirements listed in condition 8.

Annually whenever a significant increase in emissions occurs as follows: For any criteria pollutant: For sources emitting less than 100 tons per year, a change in actual emissions of five tons per year or more, above the level reported on the last APEN submitted; or For volatile organic compounds (VOC) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) sources in an ozone non-attainment area emitting less than 100 tons of VOC or nitrogen oxide per year, a change in actual emissions of one ton per year or more or five percent, whichever is greater, above the level reported on the last APEN submitted; or For sources emitting 100 tons per year or more of a criteria pollutant, a change in actual emissions of five percent or 50 tons per year or more, whichever is less, above the level reported on the last APEN submitted; or For sources emitting any amount of lead, a change in actual emissions, above the level reported on the last APEN submitted, of fifty (50) pounds of lead For any non-criteria reportable pollutant: If the emissions increase by 50% or five (5) tons per year, whichever is less, above the level reported on the last APEN submitted to the Division. b. Whenever there is a change in the owner or operator of any facility, process, or activity; or c. Whenever new control equipment is installed, or whenever a different type of control equipment replaces an existing type of control equipment; or d. Whenever a permit limitation must be modified; or e. No later than 30 days before the existing APEN expires. 27.

Non-attainment New Source Review requirements shall apply to this source at any such time that this source becomes major solely by virtue of a relaxation in any permit condition. Any relaxation that increases the potential to emit above the applicable NSR threshold will require a full NSR review of the source as though construction had not yet commenced on the source. The source shall not exceed the NSR threshold until a NSR permit is granted. (Regulation No. 3, Part D, V.A.7) GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS: 29. This permit and any attachments must be retained and made available for inspection upon request. The permit may be reissued to a new owner by the Division as provided in Regulation No. 3, Part B, Section II.B upon a request for transfer of ownership and the submittal of a revised APEN and the required fee. 30. If this permit specifically states that final approval has been granted, then the remainder of this condition is not applicable. Otherwise, the issuance of this construction permit does not provide - "final" authority for this activity or operation of this source. Final approval of the permit must be secured from the Division in writing in accordance with the provisions of 25-7-114.5(12)(a) C.R.S. and Regulation No. 3, Part B, Section III.G. Final approval cannot be granted until the operation or activity commences and has been verified by the Division as conforming in all respects with the conditions of the permit. Once self-certification of all points has been reviewed and approved by the Division, it will provide written documentation of such final approval. Details for obtaining final approval to operate are located in the Requirements to Self-Certify for Final Approval section of this permit. • 31. This permit is issued in reliance upon the accuracy and completeness of information supplied by the applicant and is conditioned upon conduct of the activity, or construction, installation and operation of the source, in accordance with this information and with representations made by the applicant or applicants agents. It is valid only for the equipment and operations or activity specifically identified on the permit. 32. Unless specifically stated otherwise, the general and specific conditions contained in this permit have been determined by the Division to be necessary to assure compliance with the provisions of Section 25-7-114.5(7)(a), C.R.S. 33. Each and every condition of this permit is a material part hereof and is not severable. Any challenge to or appeal of a condition hereof shall constitute a rejection of the entire permit and upon such occurrence,this permit shall be deemed denied ab initio.
