 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.

 any permit condition.

Item G: Cessation or Reduction of Permitted Activity Not a 

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

 enforcement action to claim that a cessation or reduction

 determination or a concise summary thereof. Nothing herein

 shall preclude the Department from revising or revoking

 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

 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
