The Commissioner may seal an air contamination source to 

prevent its operation if compliance with 6 NYCRR Chapter 

III is not met within the time provided by an order of the

Commissioner issued in the case of the violation. 

Sealing means labeling or tagging a source to notify any 

person that operation of the source is prohibited, and 

also includes physical means of preventing the operation 

of an air contamination source without resulting in 

destruction of any equipment associated with such source, 

and includes, but is not limited to, bolting, chaining or 

wiring shut control panels, apertures or conduits 

associated with such source.

No person shall operate any air contamination source 

sealed by the Commissioner in accordance with this section

 DEVICE PARAMETERS AS SURROGATE

Monitoring Description: 

During the initial performance test, the owner or 

operator of an affected source complying with the emission

limitations in §63.342 through the use of a wetting agent 

in the electroplating or anodizing bath shall determine 

the outlet chromium concentration using the procedures in 

§63.344(c). 

The owner or operator shall establish as the site-specific

operating parameter the surface tension of the bath using 

Method 306B, appendix A of Part 63, setting the maximum 

value that corresponds to compliance with the applicable 

emission limitation. 

In lieu of establishing the maximum surface tension during

the performance test, the owner or operator may accept 45 

dynes/cm as the maximum surface tension value that 

corresponds to compliance with the applicable emission 

limitation. However, the owner or operator is exempt from 

conducting a performance test only if the criteria of 

paragraph (b)(2) of Section 63.343 are met.

On and after the date on which the initial performance 

test is required to be completed under §63.7, the owner or

operator of an affected source shall monitor the surface 

tension of the electroplating or anodizing bath. Operation

of the affected source at a surface tension greater than 

the value established during the performance test, or 

greater than 45 dynes/cm if the owner or operator is using

this value in accordance with paragraph (c)(5)(i) of 

 Air Pollution Control Permit Conditions

Permit ID: 9-1460-00032/00015 Facility DEC ID: 9146000032

section 63.343, shall constitute noncompliance with the 

standards. 

The surface tension shall be monitored according to the 

following schedule:

(A) The surface tension shall be measured once every 4 

hours during operation of the tank with a stalagmometer or

a tensiometer as specified in Method 306B, appendix A of 

Part 63.

(B) The time between monitoring can be increased if there 

have been no exceedances. The surface tension shall be 

measured once every 4 hours of tank operation for the 

first 40 hours of tank operation after the compliance 

date. Once there are no exceedances during 40 hours of 

tank operation, surface tension measurement may be 

conducted once every 8 hours of tank operation. Once there

are no exceedances during 40 hours of tank operation, 

surface tension measurement may be conducted once every 40

hours of tank operation on an ongoing basis, until an 

exceedance occurs. 

The minimum frequency of monitoring allowed by Subpart N 

is once every 40 hours of tank operation.

(C) Once an exceedance occurs as indicated through surface

tension monitoring, the original monitoring schedule of 

once every 4 hours must be resumed. A subsequent decrease 

in frequency shall follow the schedule laid out in 

paragraph (c)(5)(ii)(B) of section 63.343. 

Once a bath solution is drained from the affected tank and

a new solution added, the original monitoring schedule of 

once every 4 hours must be resumed, with a decrease in 

monitoring frequency allowed following the procedures of 

paragraphs (c)(5)(ii) (B) and (C) of section 63.343.

Permit ID: 9-1460-00032/00015 Facility DEC ID: 9146000032

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 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.
