The emission and dispersion characteristics of the wood-fired boiler shall be 

consistent with the parameters used in the air quality modeling to demonstrate 

that the emissions from the facility do not cause or contribute to air pollution in violation of any national ambient air quality standard or do not cause an 

impact which exceeds the Acceptable Ambient Level for any air toxic 

contaminant. The Office of Air Resources, in its sole discretion, may reopen 

this minor source permit if it determines that the emission and dispersion characteristics have changed significantly and that emission limitations must 

be revised and/or added to this permit to ensure that the facility does not cause 

or contribute to air pollution in violation of any national ambient air quality standard or any Acceptable Ambient Level. 

Malfunctions 

Malfunction means a sudden and unavoidable breakdown of process or 

control equipment. In the case of a malfunction of any air pollution control 

system, all reasonable measures shall be taken to assure resumption of the 

designed control efficiency as soon as possible. In the event that the 

malfunction of an air pollution control system is expected or may 

reasonably be expected to continue for longer than 24 hours and if the 

owner or operator wishes to operate the source on which it is installed at 

any time beyond that period, the Director shall be petitioned for a variance 

under Section 23-23-15 of the General Laws of Rhode Island, as amended. 

Such petition shall include, but is not limited to, the following; 

Identification of the specific air pollution control system and source on 

which it is installed; 

bo The expected period of time that the air pollution control system will 

be malfunctioning or out of service; 

The nature and quantity of air contaminants likely to be emitted 

during said period; 

Page 7 of 9 
d. Measures that will be taken to minimize the length of said period; 

eo The reasons that it would be impossible or impractical to cease the 

source operation during said period. 

The owner/operator may seek to establish that a malfunction of any air 

pollution control system that would result in noncompliance with any of the 

terms of this permit or any other applicable air pollution control rules and 

regulations was due to unavoidable increases in emissions attributable to the 

malfunction. To do so, the owner/oPerator must demonstrate to the Office 

of Air Resources that: 

ao The malfunction was not attributable to improperly designed air 

pollution control equipment, lack of preventative maintenance, 

careless or improper operation, or operator error; 

bo The malfunction was not part of a recurring pattern indicative of 

inadequate design, operation, or maintenance; 

Co Repairs were performed in an expeditious fashion. Off-shift labor 

and overtime should be utilized, to the extent practicable, to ensure 

that such repairs were completed as expeditiously as practicable. 

d° All possible steps were taken to minimize emissions during the period 

of time that the repairs were performed. 

eo Emissions during the period of time that the repairs were performed 

will not: 

(1) Cause an increase in the ground level ambient concentration at 

or beyond the property line in excess of that allowed by Air 

Pollution Control Regulation No. 22 and any Calculated 

Acceptable Ambient Levels; and 

(2) Cause or contribute to air pollution in violation of any 

applicable state or national ambient air quality standard. 

The reasons that it would be impossible or impractical to cease the 

source operation during said period. 

The owner/operator's action in response to the excess emissions 

were documented by properly signed, contemporaneous operating 

logs or other relevant evidence. 

Page 8 of 9 
This demonstration must be provided to the Office of Air Resources, in 

writing, within two working days of the time when the malfunction 

occurred and contain a description of the malfunction, any steps taken to 

minimize emissions and corrective actions taken. 

The owner/operator shall have the burden of proof in seeking to establish 

that noncompliance was due to unavoidable increases in emissions 

attributable to the malfunction.
