 any seal affixed to any contamination source in accordance with this 

 section.

Item B: Acceptable Ambient Air Quality - 6 NYCRR 200.6

 Notwithstanding the provisions of 6 NYCRR Chapter III, Subchapter A, 

 no person shall allow or permit any air contamination source to emit 

 air contaminants in quantities which alone or in combination with 

 emissions from other air contamination sources would contravene any 

 applicable ambient air quality standard and/or cause air pollution. In

 such cases where contravention occurs or may occur, the Commissioner 

 shall specify the degree and/or method of emission control required.

Item C: Maintenance of Equipment - 6 NYCRR 200.7

 Any person who owns or operates an air contamination source which is 

 equipped with an emission control device shall operate such device and

 keep it in a satisfactory state of maintenance and repair in

 Effective between the dates of 03/20/2012 and Permit Expiration Date

 Applicable State Requirement:6 NYCRR 201-1.4

Item 11.1:

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
