 The items listed below are not subject to the annual compliance certification

 requirements under Title V. Permittees may also have other obligations

 under regulations of general applicability.

Item A: Emergency Defense - 6 NYCRR 201-1.5

 An emergency constitutes an affirmative defense to an 

 action brought for noncompliance with emissions 

 limitations or permit conditions for all facilities in New

 York State.

 (a) The affirmative defense of emergency shall be 

 demonstrated through properly signed, contemporaneous 

 operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:

 (1) An emergency occurred and that the facility owner 

 and/or

 operator can identify the cause(s) of the 

 emergency;

 (2) The equipment at the permitted facility causing the

 emergency was at the time being properly operated;

 (3) During the period of the emergency the facility owner

 and/or operator took all reasonable steps to minimize 

 levels of emissions that exceeded the emission standards, 

 or other requirements in the permit; and

 (4) The facility owner and/or operator notified the 

 Department

 within two working days after the event occurred. This 

 notice must contain a description of the emergency, any 

 steps taken to mitigate emissions, and corrective actions 

 taken.

 (b) In any enforcement proceeding, the facility owner 

 and/or operator seeking to establish the occurrence of an 

 emergency has the burden of proof.

 (c) This provision is in addition to any emergency or 

 upset provision contained in any applicable requirement.

Item B: Public Access to Recordkeeping for Title V Facilities - 6

 NYCRR 201-1.10 (b)

 The Department will make available to the public any 

 permit application, compliance plan, permit, and

 (d) (12)

 Any application, form, report or compliance certification

 required to be submitted pursuant to the federally

 are true, accurate, and complete.

Item E: Requirement to Comply With All Conditions - 6 NYCRR 

 201-6.5 (a) (2)

 The permittee must comply with all conditions of the

 renewal application.

Item F: Permit Revocation, Modification, Reopening, Reissuance or

 Termination, and Associated Information Submission 

 Requirements - 6 NYCRR 201-6.5 (a) (3)

 This permit may be modified, revoked, reopened and

 planned changes or anticipated noncompliance does not stay

 any permit condition.

Item G: Cessation or Reduction of Permitted Activity Not a 

 Defense - 6 NYCRR 201-6.5 (a) (5)

 It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an 

 enforcement action to claim that a cessation or reduction

 conditions of the permit shall be deemed compliance with 

 any applicable requirements as of the date of permit 

 issuance, provided that such applicable requirements are 

 included and are specifically identified in the permit, or

 the Department, in acting on the permit application or 

 revision, determines in writing that other requirements 

 specifically identified are not applicable to the major 

 stationary source, and the permit includes the 

 determination or a concise summary thereof. Nothing herein

 shall preclude the Department from revising or revoking 

 the permit pursuant to 6 NYCRR Part 621 or from exercising

 its summary abatement authority. Nothing in this permit 

 shall alter or affect the following:

 i. The ability of the Department to seek to bring suit

 on behalf of the State of New York, or the Administrator 

 to seek to bring suit on behalf of the United States, to 

 immediately restrain any person causing or contributing to

 pollution presenting an imminent and substantial 

 endangerment to public health, welfare or the environment 

 to stop the emission of air pollutants causing or 

 contributing to such pollution;

 ii. The liability of a permittee of the Title V 

 facility for any violation of applicable requirements 

 prior to or at the time of permit issuance;

 iii. The applicable requirements of Title IV of the 

 Act;

 iv. The ability of the Department or the Administrator

 to obtain information from the permittee concerning the 

 ability to enter, inspect and monitor the facility.

Item K: Reopening for Cause - 6 NYCRR 201-6.5 (i)

 any of the following circumstances:

 i. If additional applicable requirements under the Act

 become applicable where this permit's remaining term is 
 

Permit ID: 2-6304-01378/00002 Facility DEC ID: 2630401378

 three or more years, a reopening shall be completed not 

 later than 18 months after promulgation of the applicable 

 requirement. No such reopening is required if the 

 effective date of the requirement is later than the date 

 on which this permit is due to expire, unless the original

 permit or any of its terms and conditions has been 

 extended by the Department pursuant to the provisions of 

 Part 201-6.7 and Part 621.

 ii. The Department or the Administrator determines 

 that the permit contains a material mistake or that 

 inaccurate statements were made in establishing the 

 emissions standards or other terms or conditions of the 

 permit.

 iii. The Department or the Administrator determines 

 that the Title V permit must be revised or reopened to 

 assure compliance with applicable requirements.

 iv. If the permitted facility is an "affected source" 

 subject to the requirements of Title IV of the Act, and 

 additional requirements (including excess emissions 

 requirements) become applicable. Upon approval by the 

 Administrator, excess emissions offset plans shall be 

 deemed to be incorporated into the permit.

 Proceedings to reopen and issue Title V facility permits 

 shall follow the same procedures as apply to initial 

 permit issuance but shall affect only those parts of the 

 permit for which cause to reopen exists.

 Reopenings shall not be initiated before a notice of such

 intent is provided to the facility by the Department at 

 least thirty days in advance of the date that the permit 

 is to be reopened, except that the Department may provide

 a shorter time period in the case of an emergency.

Item L: Permit Exclusion - ECL 19-0305

 The issuance of this permit by the Department and the 

 receipt thereof by the Applicant does not and shall not be

 construed as barring, diminishing, adjudicating or in any 

 way affecting any legal, administrative or equitable 

 rights or claims, actions, suits, causes of action or 

 demands whatsoever that the Department may have against 

 the Applicant for violations based on facts and 

 circumstances alleged to have occurred or existed prior to

 the effective date of this permit, including, but not 

 limited to, any enforcement action authorized pursuant to 

 the provisions of applicable federal law, the 

 Environmental Conservation Law of the State of New York

Monitoring Type: RECORD KEEPING/MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

Monitoring Description: 

 In response to New York State Department of Environmental

 Conservation opacity regulations, Con Edison installed 

 and certified Lear Siegler RM41 transmissometers on 

 applicable Fossil Power stacks during the early 1980s. In 

 1994 and 1995, as part of Con Edison's Continuous 

 Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) program, existing 

 equipment at all facilities was replaced with new 

 state-of-the-art Land Model 4500 units. New recorders 

 were installed and digital opacity indicators were placed 

 in control rooms so that Station operators would have 

 real-time opacity readings. Con-Edison's opacity monitors 

 shall be operated and maintained in accordance with the 

 requirements of 40 CFR Part 75.

 

 1. Opacity Incident Reporting:

 Con Edison shall prepare opacity incident reports 

 consistent with the requirements of this paragraph. The 

 term opacity incident as used in this condition means 

 smoke emissions which exhibit greater than 20% opacity 

 (6-minute average).

 Opacity incident report shall be maintained by Con Edison 

 for a period of three years and shall be made available 

 for inspection by the Department on demand. To provide a

 consistent and permanent record of all reportable opacity 

 events, incident reporting was initiated in 1994. The 

 reports consist of documenting incident events by way of 

 Incident Reports in Con Edison's Central information 

 database system. Incident Reports identify personnel on 

 duty, a brief summary of the incident and as necessary a 

 sequence of events, a preliminary cause analysis and 

 associated corrective action requirements. All opacity 

 Incident Reports are available electronically to cognizant

 Con Edison departments and personnel for their 

 information, review and use. Incident Reports form the 

 basis for more detailed root cause analysis, corrective 

 actions, design modifications and project/program 

 development and implementation. 

 2. Opacity Reporting Compliance Audits: 

 Con Edison shall conduct monthly opacity reporting 

 compliance audits consistent with the requirements of this

 paragraph. Monthly opacity reporting compliance audits 

 have been performed since April, 1994 and shall continue 

 to be performed to ensure compliance with applicable 
 

Permit ID: 2-6304-01378/00002 Facility DEC ID: 2630401378

 Air Pollution Control Permit Conditions

Renewal 1/Mod 1/Active Page 26 FINAL

 regulatory reporting requirements. Audits include a 

 detailed review of all opacity charts or recording device 

 data for the prior month, confirmation that all indicated 

 events were properly reported and documented, charts 

 properly marked, survey sheets completed and all 

 documentation retained. Comprehensive audit reports shall

 continue to be prepared to identify all relevant 

 observations. Items tabulated include missing chart hours

 and survey sheets, events greater than 20% opacity, events

 greater than 40% opacity, total incidents, incidents 

 reported and events covered by Incident Reports. 

 

 3. Awareness, Communications and Training: 

 Con Edison shall comply with the opacity awareness, 

 communications and training provisions of this paragraph. 

 Several significant initiatives have been undertaken to 

 ensure and reinforce personnel understanding of the 

 regulatory and operational requirements associated with 

 this opacity. Awareness has been heightened by 

 consistently and effectively communicating mandates 

 throughout all levels of Con Edison's Steam Operations 

 organization. Opacity audit results, significant or 

 unusual exceedances, trends, goals, new developments 

 and/or opacity reduction initiatives shall be included as

 agenda items, when appropriate, at a variety of meetings, 

 including the monthly meeting of the Steam Operations Vice

 President with the Plant Managers, the Steam Operations 

 Program Managers Meeting, and/or the Operations and 

 Maintenance Managers Meeting in order to promote 

 continuing improvement in opacity awareness and 

 compliance. Some of the opacity exceedances will be 

 included in the review and discussion agenda of each 

 monthly Incident Report Review Meeting, which is attended 

 by key Steam Operations managers from each station, as 

 well as EH&S and Central Engineering personnel. 

 At the local generating station level, opacity 

 understanding and awareness shall be communicated on an 

 ongoing basis from station management to supervisory and 

 operating and maintenance personnel. Such communications 

 shall be reinforced by operator interaction with personnel

 assigned as Opacity Auditors. Formal operator training is

 required of all personnel in order to receive their Air 

 Pollution Control Certificates. A formal Air Pollution 

 Control Refresher Course has been developed by the Company

 and shall be given to all control room operators by 

 December 1998. It shall provide training in opacity 

 regulatory requirements, fundamentals of combustion, and 

 the balance between NOx control and opacity and continuous

 emissions monitoring interface.

 4. Preventive Maintenance: 

 Con Edison shall conduct, on an ongoing basis, a 

 preventive maintenance program as described in this 

 paragraph. Review of opacity-related Incident Reports by 

 Con Edison has identified equipment deficiencies, both in 

 design and maintenance. The consistent and repetitive 

 nature of maintenance-related deficiencies has indicated 

 the need for a comprehensive boiler component opacity 

 reduction preventive maintenance program. The program has

 been fully operational since mid-1996. It consists of 

 three phases defined as follows: 

 Phase 1 - identify essential program elements including 

 repetitive deficiencies;

 Phase 2 - develop procedures for each identified 

 element;

 Phase 3 - consists of ongoing implementation of preventive

 maintenance. 

 The primary elements of Con Edison's ongoing preventive 

 maintenance program for opacity reductions consist of 

 regular inspection, calibration, and/or servicing of the 

 following equipment in each of the generating 

 stations:

 CEMS stack opacity monitoring equipment;

 Boiler control and instrumentation;

 Fuel oil and gas meters;

 Fuel oil pumps and strainers;

 Boiler fireside tubes (to minimize ash build-up);

 Air preheaters (to minimize ash build-up);

 Control-air air compressors;

 Fuel oil regulators;

 Atomizing steam regulators;

 Fan dampers and actuators; and

 Oil guns and tips.

 This program may be revised by adding appropriate new 

 maintenance requirements and deleting ineffective or 

 obsolete maintenance activities based on operating 

 experience or changes in equipment operation. The 

 Department shall be notified of all significant additions 

 and deletions to the preventive maintenance program via 

 Con Edison's quarterly report to the 

 Department.

 5. Root Cause Analysis and Corrective Actions: 

 Con Edison shall conduct root cause analyses as described 

 in this paragraph and shall take all corrective actions 

 that are deemed necessary to maintain full compliance with
 

Permit ID: 2-6304-01378/00002 Facility DEC ID: 2630401378

 Air Pollution Control Permit Conditions

Renewal 1/Mod 1/Active Page 28 FINAL

 the State's opacity requirements. A comprehensive Root 

 Cause Analysis program, including deficiency 

 categorization and correction of categorized deficiencies 

 was implemented in April 1995. Incident categories 

 include oil, air, atomizing steam, ignition, burner and 

 combustion control system deficiencies. Analysis, 

 categorization and corrective action development shall be 

 performed monthly by the facility's Boiler System Engineer

 and other station personnel. Corrections due to equipment

 failure, malfunction and marginal design shall be 

 accomplished by corrective maintenance and simple design 

 basis enhancement activities. Correction of operation 

 deviations include focused training, minimized soot 

 blowing and increased boiler fireside washes. Significant

 design basis deficiencies shall be corrected by the 

 development and implementation of design basis enhancement

 projects, including, but not limited to, fuel switching 

 and ignition and control system retrofits. 

 

 6. Quarterly Reports: 

 Con Edison shall submit to the Department quarterly 

 reports each May 15, August 15, November 15 and February 

 15, which describe activities and progress that Con Edison

 has made during the preceding quarter in carrying out the 

 requirements of paragraphs 1 through 5 above in this 

 condition. Penalties will not be assessed for excess 

 opacity emission events attributable solely to equipment 

 malfunctions or boiler start-ups or shut-downs, (as those 

 terms are defined in 40 CFR § 60.2); provided that, Con 

 Edison identifies those events in its quarterly excess 

 emission reports, certifies that the events were not 

 preventable and the Department does not dispute Con 

 Edison's claim that such events were not preventable. 

 When requested by the Department, Con Edison shall make 

 available to the Department any incident reports and root 

 cause analysis that it prepared for such events. Con 

 Edison shall expressly identify in its quarterly excess 

 emission reports instances of excess opacity attributable 

 to soot blowing, operator error, or careless operation of 

 properly functioning equipment.

At the discretion of the commissioner a violation of any applicable emission standard for

necessary scheduled equipment maintenance, start-up/shutdown conditions and malfunctions or

upsets may be excused if such violations are unavoidable. The following actions and

recordkeeping and reporting requirements must be adhered to in such circumstances.

(a) The facility owner and/or operator shall compile and maintain records of all

equipment maintenance or start-up/shutdown activities when they can be expected to result in an

exceedance of any applicable emission standard, and shall submit a report of such activities to

the commissioner's representative when requested to do so in writing or when so required by a

condition of a permit issued for the corresponding air contamination source except where

conditions elsewhere in this permit which contain more stringent reporting and notification

provisions for an applicable requirement, in which case they supercede those stated here. Such

reports shall describe why the violation was unavoidable and shall include the time, frequency

and duration of the maintenance and/or start-up/shutdown activities and the identification of air

contaminants, and the estimated emission rates. If a facility owner and/or operator is subject to

continuous stack monitoring and quarterly reporting requirements, he need not submit reports for

equipment maintenance or start-up/shutdown for the facility to the commissioner's

representative.

(b) In the event that emissions of air contaminants in excess of any emission standard

in 6 NYCRR Chapter III Subchapter A occur due to a malfunction, the facility owner and/or

operator shall report such malfunction by telephone to the commissioner's representative as soon

as possible during normal working hours, but in any event not later than two working days after

becoming aware that the malfunction occurred. Within 30 days thereafter, when requested in

writing by the commissioner's representative, the facility owner and/or operator shall submit a

written report to the commissioner's representative describing the malfunction, the corrective

action taken, identification of air contaminants, and an estimate of the emission rates. These

reporting requirements are superceded by conditions elsewhere in this permit which contain

reporting and notification provisions for applicable requirements more stringent than those

above.

(c) The Department may also require the owner and/or operator to include in reports

described under (a) and (b) above an estimate of the maximum ground level concentration of

each air contaminant emitted and the effect of such emissions depending on the deviation of the

malfunction and the air contaminants emitted.

(d) In the event of maintenance, start-up/shutdown or malfunction conditions which

result in emissions exceeding any applicable emission standard, the facility owner and/or

operator shall take appropriate action to prevent emissions which will result in contravention of

any applicable ambient air quality standard. Reasonably available control technology, as
