Westinghouse Electric Company PERMIT NUMBER: 1900-0050-R1 DATE OF ISSUE: March 5, 2008 PAGE 4 OF 6 (Permit Updated 6/7/12)

Condition Conditions Number (Facility-wide) In accordance with SC Regulation 61-62.1 Section II(J), for all sources not required to have continuous emissions monitors, in the event of any malfunction of air pollution control equipment or system, process upset or other equipment failure which results in discharges of air contaminants lasting for one hour or more and which are greater than those discharges described for normal operation in the permit application shall be reported to the local Environmental Quality Control (EQC) Regional office within twenty-four (24) hours after the beginning of the occurrence. The permittee shall also submit a written report within thirty (30) days of the occurrence. This report shall be submitted to the

2. Manager of the Technical Management Section, Bureau of Air Quality (BAQ). The report shall contain as a minimum, the following: the identity of the emission unit and associated equipment where excess emissions occurred, the magnitude of excess emissions, the time and duration of excess emissions, the steps taken to remedy the malfunction and to prevent a recurrence, documentation that control equipment and processes were at all times maintained and operated, to the maximum extent practicable, in a manner that was consistent with good practice for minimizing emissions. Such a report shall in no way serve to excuse, otherwise justify, or in any manner affect any potential liability or enforcement action resulting from the occurrence.

(Facility-wide) Air dispersion modeling (or other method) has demonstrated that this facilitys operation will not interfere with the attainment and maintenance of any state or federal ambient air standard. Any changes in the parameters used in the air dispersion modeling may require a review by the facility to determine continuing compliance with these standards. These potential changes include any decrease in stack height, decrease in stack velocity, increase in stack diameter, decrease in stack exit temperature, increase in building height or building additions, increase in emission rates, decrease in distance between stack and property line, changes in vertical stack orientation, and installation of a rain cap that impedes vertical flow. Parameters that are not required in the determination will not invalidate the demonstration if they are modified. The emission rates used in the determination are listed in Attachment A of this permit. Higher emission rates may be administratively incorporated into Attachment A of this permit 3.

provided a demonstration using these higher emission rates shows the attainment and maintenance of any state or federal ambient air quality standard or with any other applicable requirement. Variations from the input parameters in the demonstration shall not constitute a violation unless the maximum allowable ambient concentrations identified in the standard are exceeded.

The owner/operator shall maintain this facility at or below the emission rates as listed in Attachment A, not to exceed the pollutant limitations of this operating permit. Should the facility wish to increase the emission rates listed in Attachment A, not to exceed the pollutant limitations in the body of this permit, it may do so by the administrative process specified in this permit condition. This is a State Only enforceable requirement.

(Facility wide) These conditions shall not supersede any State or Federal requirements such as National

4. Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, unless these conditions would impose a more restrictive limit.

(Facility-wide) Unless elsewhere specified within this permit, all records required to demonstrate compliance with the limits established under this permit shall be maintained on site for a period of at 5.

least five (5) years from the date generated and shall be made available to a Department representative upon request.

(Facility-wide) Emergency power generators, if any, have been determined to be exempt from construction permitting requirements in accordance with South Carolina Regulation 61-62.1 Section II.B.2.f and as such are listed as exempt sources in this permit. These sources shall still comply with the requirements of all applicable regulations including but not limited to:

6.

New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) 40 CFR 60 Subparts A (General Provisions); IIII (Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines); and JJJJ (Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines).

Condition Conditions Number (Facility-wide) It has been determined that this facility is subject to SC Regulation 61-62.68, Chemical Accident Prevention Provisions, due to in-process storage or use of a regulated substance in quantities above the specified threshold and that a Risk Management Plan (RMP) has already been submitted to the EPA; therefore, the following must be completed:

1. Submittal of subsequent revisions/corrections/updates of the RMP in accordance with SC Regulation 61-62.68.190 and 68.195.
7. 2. If it is determined by the Department that additional relevant information is needed, this facility will be required to submit the information in a timely manner.
3. For Program 1 processes, the owner or operator shall submit along with the RMP the certification statement provided in Section 68.12(b)(4). For all other covered processes, the owner or operator shall submit along with the RMP a single certification that, to the best of the signers knowledge, information, and belief formed after reasonable inquiry, the information submitted is true, accurate, and complete.

(ID 01) As specified in SC Regulation 61-62.5, Standard No. 3,Section IX all incinerator operators shall be trained based on criteria contained in SC Regulation 61-62.5, Standard No. 3,Section IX (C) as to proper operating practices and procedures of the incinerator. The content of the above referenced

8. training program, in addition to a list of trained personnel, shall be maintained at the facility and made available to the Department for review upon request. The incinerator shall not be operated without a trained operator on site, who has a certificate verifying satisfactory completion of the approved training program.

(ID 02-04) In accordance with South Carolina Regulation 61-62.5, Standard 1 - Emission from Fuel

9. Burning Operations,Section II -Particulate Matter Emissions, the allowable discharge of particulate matter resulting from the fuel burning operations is 0.6 lbs/106 BTU total heat input.
