Description:

Advanced Coating Techniques Inc. is involved in chromium and sulfuric acid anodizing, cadmium, 

copper, and tin plating, and spray coating of aerospace aluminum and steel parts. The 3 Emission Units of 

the facility consist of spray coating and drying of coated parts in an oven, cleaning and anodizing of 

aluminum and aluminum-alloyed parts, and cleaning and electroplating of steel parts. The spray coating 

and drying unit consists of 4 Emission Points which are associated with three spray booths and one drying 

oven. The cleaning and anodizing unit consists of 2 Emission Points which are associated with emissions 

from chromic and sulfuric acid anodizing tanks. The cleaning and electroplating unit consists of 1 

Emission Point which is associated with emissions from the plating area. The spray coating operations are 

subject to 6 NYCRR Part 228 (Surface Coating Processes) and 6 NYCRR Part 212 (General Process 

Emission Sources) regulations that require the utilization of compliant paints and emissions of toxics 

below the acceptable concentrations in the atmosphere. The facility conducts acid-based cleaning and 

uses chromic and sulfuric acids for its anodizing processes. Emissions from chromic acid anodizing are 

regulated under 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart N - National Emission Standards for Chromium Emissions from 

Hard and Decorative Chromium Electroplating and Chromium Anodizing Tanks. Advanced Coating 

Techniques is also using cyanide-based solutions to conduct cadmium and copper plating of steel and 

aerospace parts and the emissions from these sources are regulated by 6 NYCRR Part 212.

Monitoring Description: 

Owner/operator is subject to the following work practice 

standards:

1. The owner/operator shall operate and maintain the 

affected source in a manner consistent with good air 

pollution control practices at all times (including during

startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions). Malfunctions shall

be corrected as soon as practicable. Operation and 

maintenance requirements established under section 112 of

limitations or other requirements in relevant 

standards.

2. The determination of whether the operation and 

maintenance procedures are acceptable will be based on 

information available to the Administrator, which may 

include, but is not limited to, monitoring results; review

of the operation and maintenance plan, procedures, and 

records; and inspection of the source. Based on the 

results of this determination, the Administrator may 

require that the operation and maintenance plan be 

revised. Revisions may be required if it is found that the

plan does not (a) address a malfunction that has occurred,

(b) provide for the operation of the affected source, the 

air pollution control techniques, or the control system 

and process monitoring equipment during a malfunction in a

manner consistent with good air pollution control 

practices, or (c) provide adequate procedures for 

correcting malfunctioning process equipment, air pollution

control techniques, or monitoring equipment as quickly as 

practicable.

3. The owner/operator shall prepare an operation and 

maintenance (O&M) plan to be implemented no later than the

compliance date. The plan shall include the information 

found in 40CFR63.342(f)(3)(i) (A) through (E).

If the O&M plan fails to address an event that meets the 

characteristics of a malfunction at the time the plan is 

initially developed, the owner/operator shall revise the 

O&M plan within 45 days to include procedures for 

operating and maintaining the process equipment, add-on 

air pollution control device, or monitoring equipment 

during similar malfunctions, and a program for corrective 

actions taken for such events.

If actions taken by the owner/operator during periods of 

malfunction are inconsistent with the O&M plan, the 

actions taken shall be recorded and reported by phone 

within 2 working days after commencing actions 

inconsistent with the plan. This report shall be followed 

by a letter within 7 working days after the end of the 

event.

The owner/operator shall keep the written O&M plan on 

record to be available for inspection by the Administrator

until the source is no longer subject to Subpart N. In

Effective between the dates of 12/03/2001 and Permit Expiration Date

Applicable State Requirement: 6NYCRR 201-1.4

Item 32.1:

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
