 Permit Description

 Introduction

The Title V operating air permit is intended to be a document containing only enforceable terms and conditions as well 

as any additional information, such as the identification of emission units, emission points, emission sources and 

processes, that makes the terms meaningful. 40 CFR Part 70.7(a)(5) requires that each Title V permit have an 

accompanying "...statement that sets forth the legal and factual basis for the draft permit conditions". The purpose for 

this permit review report is to satisfy the above requirement by providing pertinent details regarding the 

permit/application data and permit conditions in a more easily understandable format. This report will also include 

background narrative and explanations of regulatory decisions made by the reviewer. It should be emphasized that this 

permit review report, while based on information contained in the permit, is a separate document and is not itself an 

enforceable term and condition of the permit.

Facility Description

Utica Metal Products Inc is small business with one production facility in Utica NY which operates as a 

metal fabrication and coating firm. Significant air emission sources include nickel and chrome plating, 

anodizing, alodizing, metal etching, metal cleaning and painting operations. A decorative chrome plating 

operation and batch vapor degreasing operation are subject to MACT requirements. Additionally, Utica 

Metal Products has various exempt or trivial operations under 6 NYCRR 201-3. UMP chooses the usage 

of 6 NYCRR 228 non-compliant coatings as authorized by a 2006 VOC RACT variance. Control of 

these coatings has been demonstrated to be economically unfeasible. UMP shall limit VOC emissions to 

9.9 tons per year from coating operations.

Permit Structure and Description of Operations

The Title V permit for UTICA METAL PRODUCTS

is structured in terms of the following hierarchy: facility, emission unit,

emission point, emission source and process.

A facility is defined as all emission sources located at one or more adjacent or

contiguous properties owned or operated by the same person or persons under common

Page 2 of 27
Permit Review Report

Permit ID: 6-3016-00065/00009 Renewal Number: 1 05/08/2007

control. The facility is subdivided into one or more emission units (EU). Emission

units are defined as any part or activity of a stationary facility that emits or has

the potential to emit any federal or state regulated air pollutant. An emission unit

is represented as a grouping of processes (defined as any activity involving one or

more emission sources (ES) that emits or has the potential to emit any federal or

state regulated air pollutant). An emission source is defined as any apparatus,

contrivance or machine capable of causing emissions of any air contaminant to the

outdoor atmosphere, including any appurtenant exhaust system or air cleaning device.

[NOTE: Indirect sources of air contamination as defined in 6 NYCRR Part 203 (i.e.

parking lots) are excluded from this definition]. The applicant is required to

identify the principal piece of equipment (i.e., emission source) that directly

results in or controls the emission of federal or state regulated air pollutants from

an activity (i.e., process). Emission sources are categorized by the following

types:

combustion - devices which burn fuel to generate heat, steam or power

incinerator - devices which burn waste material for disposal

control - emission control devices

process - any device or contrivance which may emit air contaminants that

is not included in the above categories.

 NESHAP National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (40 CFR 61) - contaminant 

and source specific emission standards established prior to the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 

(CAAA) which were developed for 9 air contaminants (inorganic arsenic, radon, benzene, vinyl chloride, 

asbestos, mercury, beryllium, radionuclides, and volatile HAP’s)

 MACT Maximum Achievable Control Technology (40 CFR 63) - contaminant and source 

specific emission standards established by the 1990 CAAA. Under Section 112 of the CAAA, the US 

EPA is required to develop and promulgate emissions standards for new and existing sources. The 

standards are to be based on the best demonstrated control technology and practices in the regulated 

industry, otherwise known as MACT. The corresponding regulations apply to specific source types and 

contaminants.

 NSPS New Source Performance Standards (40 CFR 60) - standards of performance for 

specific stationary source categories developed by the US EPA under Section 111 of the CAAA. The 

standards apply only to those stationary sources which have been constructed or modified after the 

regulations have been proposed by publication in the Federal Register and only to the specific 

contaminant(s) listed in the regulation.

 Title IV Acid Rain Control Program (40 CFR 72 thru 78) - regulations which mandate the 

implementation of the acid rain control program for large stationary combustion facilities.

 Title VI Stratospheric Ozone Protection (40 CFR 82, Subparts A thru G) - federal requirements 

that apply to sources which use a minimum quantity of CFC’s (chlorofluorocarbons), 

HCFC’s(hydrofluorocarbons)or other ozone depleting substances or regulated substitute substances in 

equipment such as air conditioners, refrigeration equipment or motor vehicle air conditioners or 

appliances.

 RACT Reasonably Available Control Technology (6 NYCRR Parts 212.10, 226, 227-2, 228, 

229, 230, 232, 233, 234, 235, 236) - the lowest emission limit that a specific source is capable of 

meeting by application of control technology that is reasonably available, considering technological and 

economic feasibility. RACT is a control strategy used to limit emissions of VOC’s and NOx for the 

purpose of attaining the air quality standard for ozone. The term as it is used in the above table refers to 

those state air pollution control regulations which specifically regulate VOC and NOx emissions.

 SIP State Implementation Plan (40 CFR 52, Subpart HH) - as per the CAAA, all states are 

empowered and required to devise the specific combination of controls that, when implemented, will 

bring about attainment of ambient air quality standards established by the federal government and the 

individual state. This specific combination of measures is referred to as the SIP. The term here refers to 

those state regulations that are approved to be included in the SIP and thus are considered federally 

enforceable.

Facility Emissions Summary

In the following table, the CAS No. or Chemical Abstract Series code is an identifier assigned to every 

chemical compound. [NOTE: Certain CAS No.’s contain a ‘NY’ designation within them. These are 

Page 7 of 27
Permit Review Report

Permit ID: 6-3016-00065/00009 Renewal Number: 1 05/08/2007

not true CAS No.’s but rather an identification which has been developed by the department to identify 

groups of contaminants which ordinary CAS No.’s do not do. As an example, volatile organic 

compounds or VOC’s are identified collectively by the NY CAS No. 0NY998-00-0.] The PTE refers to 

the Potential to Emit. This is defined as the maximum capacity of a facility or air contaminant source to 

emit any air contaminant under its physical and operational design. Any physical or operational limitation 

on the capacity of the facility or air contamination source to emit any air contaminant , including air 

pollution control equipment and/or restrictions on the hours of operation, or on the type or amount or 

material combusted, stored, or processed, shall be treated as part of the design only if the limitation is 

contained in federally enforceable permit conditions. The PTE Range represents an emission range for a 

contaminant. Any PTE quantity that is displayed represents a facility-wide emission cap or limitation for 

that contaminant. If no PTE quantity is displayed, the PTE Range is provided to indicate the approximate 

magnitude of facility-wide emissions for the specified contaminant in terms of tons per year (tpy). The 

term ‘HAP’ refers to any of the hazardous air pollutants listed in section 112(b) of the Clean Air Act 

Amendments of 1990. Total emissions of all hazardous air pollutants are listed under the special NY 

CAS No. 0NY100-00-0. In addition, each individual hazardous air pollutant is also listed under its own 

specific CAS No. and is identified in the list below by the (HAP) designation.

Page 19 of 27
Permit Review Report

Permit ID: 6-3016-00065/00009 Renewal Number: 1 05/08/2007

40CFR 63-N.340 (b) 

 This requires compliance with the general provisions which contains requirements for performance 

testing, monitoring, notification, recordkeeping, reporting, and control devices . 

40CFR 63-N.342 (d) (2) 

This regulation is in place in order to reduce the emission of the hazardous air pollutant (HAP), 

chromium. A chemical fume suppressant is added to the plating tank and floats over the electrolyte bath. 

The surface tension of the bath can be adjusted by monitoring the concentration of a wetting agent (fume 

suppressant). This surface tension is required to not exceed 45 dynes per centimeter, doing so contains 

chromium emissions.

40CFR 63-N.342 (f) 

This firm is required to develop and provide to the NYSDEC, a sort of user's manual, said "Operation 

and Maintenance (O&M) Plan" that will govern this electroplating process. The NYSDEC must review 

and approve/disapprove this O&M plan. Utica metal Products is then required to operate this tank within 

the confines of the plan.

Page 21 of 27
Permit Review Report

Permit ID: 6-3016-00065/00009 Renewal Number: 1 05/08/2007

Batch Vapor Degreaser in compliance with Subpart T. The subject matter of 40CFR 63.466(d)(1) is 

Reduced Room Draft, one of Option 8's selections.

UNP shall limit air movement "windspeed" across a plane that is 6 inches above the freeboard area of the 

degreaser. This measurement shall be done with an digital anemometer or equivalent. Readings shall be 

taken at each of the four corners of this freeboard area and then averaged, not to exceed 50 feet/minute.

During initial testing ,if in order to hold 50 ft/min, UMP finds it neccessary to open/close the plating room 

windows /doors, or to turn plating room fans on or off, then such "room parameters" will become an 

ongoing requirement. Allowing such an excess room air movement will logically increase air turbulence 

at the trichlorethylene level, causing excess trichlor emission.

Room parameters shall be checked and logged weekly (do the positioning of doors, windows and fans, etc 

match the original testing positions?). Windspeed (at the 6 inch freeboard level) needs to be checked and 

logged quarterly.

This citation allows owners and operators of surface coating processes to operate with a lesser degree of 

control than required by 6 NYCRR Part 228.3 provided that a process specific reasonably available 

control technology (RACT) demonstration has been made to the satisfaction of the Department. Such 

process specific RACT demonstrations must be submitted to the administrator for approval as a revision 

to the State Implementation Plan and must address the technical and economic feasibility of complying 

with the applicable regulations. 

6NYCRR 228 .4

This citation prohibits any person from emitting (or to allow emissions) to the outdoor atmosphere having 

an average opacity of 20 percent or greater for any consecutive six-minute period from any emission 

source subject to this Part.
