Item 8.1: 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 These reporting requirements are superceded by conditions elsewhere in this permit which contain reporting and notification provisions for applicable requirements more stringent than those above.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 whichPermit ID: 1-4728-04227/00001 Facility DEC ID: 1472804227

Air Pollution Control Permit Conditions Page 17 FINAL 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 determined by the commissioner, shall be applied during any maintenance, start-up/shutdown or malfunction condition subject to this paragraph. (e) In order to have a violation of a federal regulation (such as a new source performance standard or national emissions standard for hazardous air pollutants) excused, the specific federal regulation must provide for an affirmative defense during start-up, shutdowns, malfunctions or upsets.

Item 9.1: The facility is authorized to perform regulated processes under this permit for: Emission Unit: U-00001 Emission Unit Description: Decorative electroplating production floor with approximately 80 tanks containing the following: rinse water (tanks 3,4, 11-15, 18,19, 21, 22, 25, 26, 35, 37-39, 50, 51, 53, 54, 57-58, 60, 64-68, 74, 76-79), nitric acid (5-7, 75), chromic acid (8-10, 61-63), sulfuric acid (8-10, 27-34), hydrochloric acid (16, 17, 20, 73) , palladium chloride (17), nickel chloride (23, 24, 40-49, 52), ammonium hydroxide (23, 24), copper sulfate (27-24), ammonium persulfate (36), nickel sulfate (40-49, 52), nickel-tin (55), gold potassium cyanide (56, 80, 81), and cyanide brass/sodium cyanide (59). Plating line emissions are captured by four exhaust vents that lead to a roof scrubber. The production floor also includes a set of wastewater evaporators vented to the same rooftop scrubber. Condition 10: Air pollution prohibited Effective between the dates of 03/19/2009 and Permit Expiration Date Applicable State Requirement:6NYCRR 211.2
Item 10.1: No person shall cause or allow emissions of air contaminants to the outdoor atmosphere of such quantity, characteristic or duration which are injurious to human, plant or animal life or to property, or which unreasonably interfere with the comfortable enjoyment of life or property. Notwithstanding the existence of specific air quality standards or emission limits, this prohibition applies, but is not limited to, any particulate, fume, gas, mist, odor, smoke, vapor, pollen, toxic or deleterious emission, either alone or in combination with others. Condition 12: Compliance Demonstration Effective between the dates of 03/19/2009 and Permit Expiration DatePermit ID: 1-4728-04227/00001 Facility DEC ID: 1472804227

Air Pollution Control Permit Conditions Page 18 FINAL Applicable State Requirement:6NYCRR 212.6(a)
Item 12.1: The Compliance Demonstration activity will be performed for the Facility.
Item 12.2: Compliance Demonstration shall include the following monitoring: Monitoring Type: RECORD KEEPING/MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES Monitoring Description: No person shall cause or allow emissions having an average opacity during any six consecutive minutes of 20 percent or greater from any process emission source, except only the emission of uncombined water. The Department reserves the right to perform or require the performance of a Method 9 opacity evaluation at any time during facility operation. The permittee will conduct observations of visible emissions from the emission unit, process, etc. to which this condition applies at the monitoring frequency stated below while the process is in operation. The permittee will investigate, in a timely manner, any instance where there is cause to believe that visible emissions have the potential to exceed the opacity standard. The permittee shall investigate the cause, make any necessary corrections, and verify that the excess visible emissions problem has been corrected. If visible emissions with the potential to exceed the standard continue, the permittee will conduct a Method 9 assessment within the next operating day of the sources associated with the potential noncompliance to determine the degree of opacity and will notify the NYSDEC if the method 9 test indicates that the opacity standard is not met. Records of visible emissions observations (or any follow-up method 9 tests), investigations and corrective actions will be kept on-site. Should the Department determine that permittee's record keeping format is inadequate to demonstrate compliance with this condition, it shall provide written notice to the permittee stating the inadequacies, and permittee shall have 90 days to revise its prospective record keeping format in a manner acceptable to the Department. Reporting Requirements: ANNUALLY (CALENDAR) Reports due 30 days after the reporting period. The initial report is due 1/30/2010. Subsequent reports are due every 12 calendar month(s).
