The provisions o f th is Addendum shall apply to and be binding upon the United States,
the Ohic Environmental Protection A gency ("Ohio EPA"), and the M em phis Shelby County H ealth
D eparta ent, and upon Premcor, as w ell as Premcor's respective successors and assigns, and shall
apply to each o f the refineries identified herein until the Addendum is term inated w ith respect to such
refinery pursuant to Part XXV (Term ination); provided, how ever, that w ith respect to any obligation
applicablee to an individual Premcor Refinery pursuant to Parts IV through XXIV, inclusive, such
obligatii.on shall apply only to the specific Premcor corporate entity that ow ns such R efinery.
In the event that Prem cor proposes to sell or transfer any o f its refineries subject to this
Addendijm , then Prem cor shall advise in w riting to such proposed purchaser or successor-in-interest o f
the exis ence o f this Addendum and provide a copy o f the Addendum, and shall send a copy o f such
written notification by certified m ail, return receipt requested, to EPA before such sale or transfer, if
possible , but no later than the closing date o f such sale o r transfer. This provision does not relieve
Premcor from having to comply w ith any applicable state or local regulatory requirem ent regarding
notice and transfer o f facility permits.

Petroleum refining involves the physical, therm al and chem ical separation o f crude oil
into maxketable petroleum products.
10 The petroleum refining process at the Premcor Refineries results in em issions o f criteria air pollutiants, including nitrogen, oxides (4fNOx"), carbon m onoxide ("CO"), particulate matter
("PM"), sulfur dioxide ("S 0 2"), as well as volatile organic compounds ("VOCs") and hazardous air pollutant ("HAPs"), including benzene. The prim ary sources o f these emissions are the fluid catalytic
craddni units ("FCCUs"), process heaters and boilers, the sulfur recovery plants, wastewater
treatmentit systems, fugitive em issions, and flares.

IV . n o t Em issions R eductions from H eaters and B oilers
P rogram S um m ary: Premcor will implement a program to reduce NOx emissions from refinery heaters and boilers greater than 40 M M Btu/hr (HHV) by committing to an interim system-wide w eighted average concentration em ission lim it for NOx o f 0.060 IbsTMMBtu, to be achieved by December 31, 2011, and a final system-wide weighted average concentration emission limit for NOx of 0.044 lbs./M M Btu, to be achieved by Decem ber 31,2013.
12. Prem cor shall im plem ent at the Prem cor Refineries various NOx em ission reduction
measures and techniques to achieve system-wide NOx emission levels fox certain identified heaters
and boilers at the Prem cor Refineries. For purposes o f this Addendum, "heaters and boilers" shall be defined to include any stationary com bustion unit used for the purpose o f burning fossil fuel for the
purpose o f (i) producing pow er, steam or heat by heat transfer, or (ii) heating a m aterial for initiating or prom oting a process o r chemical reaction in w hich the m aterial participates as a reactant or catalyst,
but expressly excluding any turbine, internal combustion engine, duct burner, CO boiler, incinerator or
incinerator w aste heat boiler.

Initial faym torv. Animal Update, and Com pliance Plan for Prem cor Refineries 13. Appendix B to this Addendum (the "Initial Inventory") provides an initial list o f all heaters and boilers at the Prem cor Refineries for which heat input capacity is greater than 40 MMBtu/far (HHV). For purposes o f this Addendum, "Covered Heaters and B oilers" shall include all heaters and boilers with heat input capacity greater than 40 M M Btu/hr (HHV) regardless o f any applicable firing rate perm it lim itations. However, the FCCU startup heaters at the Port Arthur Refinery designated as B-103A and B-103B w ill not be considered Covered Heaters provided that each heater is fired no more than 500 hours in any calendar year. Premcor w ill include this limitation in an operating permit pursuant to Paragraph 291. 14. The Initial Inventory identifies previously constructed heaters and boilers at the Prem cor Refineries that com prise the initial list o f Covered Heaters and B oilers. The Initial Inventory also provides the follow ing inform ation concerning the Covered H eaters and Boilers:
a. Prem cor's designations for each o f the Covered H eaters and Boilers; b. Identification o f heat input capacity, and the source o f such identification, for each o f the Covered Heaters and Boilers. For purposes o f this subparagraph, heat input capacity for each Covered Heater o r Boiler shall equal the lesser o f any applicable perm it lim it or Prem cor's best then-current estim ate o f its m aximum heat input capacity (hereinafter, "Heat Input Capacity"); c. Identification o f all applicable NOx em ission lim itations, in pounds per million Btu, for each o f the Covered Heaters and Boilers; and d. Statem ent o f whether a continuous em ission m onitoring system ("CEMS") for NOx has been installed on the respective Covered Heater or Boiler. 15. Prem cor shall subm it to EPA an annual update to the Initial Inventory on or before M arch 31 o f each calendar year from 2008 through 2013, inclusive (the "A nnual Update Report"), proviided, however, that Prem cor shall not be obligated to subm it any A nnual Update Report after satisfying the provisions o f Paragraphs 21 and 27.
