NOTIFICATION OF GENERAL PERMITTEE OBLIGATIONS

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 - 6NYCRR Part 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.

Item B: Public Access to Recordkeeping for Title V Facilities - 6NYCRR Part 

201-1.10(b)

The Department will make available to the public any permit 

application, compliance plan, permit, and monitoring and compliance 

certification report pursuant to Section 503(e) of the Act, except for

information entitled to confidential treatment pursuant to 6NYCRR Part

616 - Public Access to records and Section 114(c) of the Act.

Item C: Timely Application for the Renewal of Title V Permits - 6 NYCRR Part 

201-6.3(a)(4)

Owners and/or operators of facilities having an issued Title V permit

shall submit a complete application at least 180 days, but not more

Item D: Certification by a Responsible Official - 6 NYCRR Part 

201-6.3(d)(12)

Any application, form, report or compliance certification required to

be submitted pursuant to the federally enforceable portions of this 

permit shall contain a certification of truth, accuracy and 

completeness by a responsible official. This certification shall state

that based on information and belief formed after reasonable inquiry, 

the statements and information in the document are true, accurate, and

complete.

Item E: Requirement to Comply With All Conditions - 6 NYCRR Part 

201-6.5(a)(2)

The permittee must comply with all conditions of the Title V facility

permit. Any permit non-compliance constitutes a violation of the Act 

and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit termination, 

revocation and reissuance, or modification; or for denial of a permit 

renewal application.

Item F: Permit Revocation, Modification, Reopening, Reissuance or 

Termination, and Associated Information Submission Requirements - 6 

NYCRR Part 201-6.5(a)(3)

This permit may be modified, revoked, reopened and reissued, or 

terminated for cause. The filing of a request by the permittee for a 

permit modification, revocation and reissuance, or termination, or of 

a notification of planned changes or anticipated noncompliance does 

not stay any permit condition.

Item G: Cessation or Reduction of Permitted Activity Not a Defense - 6NYCRR 

Part 201-6.5(a)(5)

It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action to

claim that a cessation or reduction in the permitted activity would 

have been necessary in order to maintain compliance with the 

conditions of this permit.

Item H: Property Rights - 6 NYCRR Part 201-6.5(a)(6)

This permit does not convey any property rights of any sort or any 

exclusive privilege.

If any provisions, parts or conditions of this permit are found to be

invalid or are the subject of a challenge, the remainder of this 

permit shall continue to be valid.

All permittees granted a Title V facility permit shall be covered 

under the protection of a permit shield, except as provided under 6 

NYCRR Subpart 201-6. Compliance with the conditions of the permit 

shall be deemed compliance with any applicable requirements as of the 

date of permit issuance, provided that such applicable requirements 

are included and are specifically identified in the permit, or the 

Department, in acting on the permit application or revision, 

determines in writing that other requirements specifically identified 

are not applicable to the major stationary source, and the permit 

includes the determination or a concise summary thereof. Nothing 

herein shall preclude the Department from revising or revoking the 

permit pursuant to 6 NYCRR Part 621 or from exercising its summary 

abatement authority. Nothing in this permit shall alter or affect the

following:

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 

to stop the emission of air pollutants causing or contributing to such

pollution;

ii. The liability of a permittee of the Title V facility for any 

violation of applicable requirements prior to or at the time of permit

issuance;

iii. The applicable requirements of Title IV of the Act;

iv. The ability of the Department or the Administrator to obtain 

information from the permittee concerning the ability to enter, 

inspect and monitor the facility.

Item K: Reopening for Cause - 6 NYCRR Part 201-6.5(i)

This Title V permit shall be reopened and revised under any of the 

following circumstances:

Mod 5/Active Page 8 of 103 FINAL
Permit ID: 5-1548-00008/00081 Facility DEC ID: 5154800008

i. If additional applicable requirements under the Act become 

applicable where this permit's remaining term is 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 the provisions of applicable federal law, the

applicable requirement, including any provisions designed to limit a 

facility's potential to emit, are enforceable by the Administrator and

Monitoring Type: RECORD KEEPING/MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

Monitoring Description: 

To meet the requirements of this facility permit with respect to 

reporting, the permittee must:

Submit reports of any required monitoring at a minimum frequency of 

every 6 months, based on a calendar year reporting schedule. These 

reports shall be submitted to the Department within 30 days after the 

end of a reporting period. All instances of deviations from permit 

requirements must be clearly identified in such reports. All required

reports must be certified by the responsible official for this 

facility.

Notify the Department and report permit deviations and incidences of 

noncompliance stating the probable cause of such deviations, and any 

corrective actions or preventive measures taken. Where the underlying

applicable requirement contains a definition of prompt or otherwise 

specifies a time frame for reporting deviations, that definition or 

time frame shall govern. Where the underlying applicable requirement 

fails to address the time frame for reporting deviations, reports of 

deviations shall be submitted to the permitting authority based on the

following schedule:

(1) For emissions of a hazardous air pollutant (as identified in an

applicable regulation) that continue for more than an hour in excess 

of permit requirements, the report must be made within 24 hours of the

occurrence.

(2) For emissions of any regulated air pollutant, excluding those 

listed in paragraph (1) of this section, that continue for more than 

two hours in excess of permit requirements, the report must be made 

within 48 hours.

(3) For all other deviations from permit requirements, the report 

shall be contained in the 6 month monitoring report required 

above.

(4) This permit may contain a more stringent reporting requirement 

than required by paragraphs (1), (2) or (3) above. If more stringent 

reporting requirements have been placed in this permit or exist in 

applicable requirements that apply to this facility, the more 

stringent reporting requirement shall apply.

If above paragraphs (1) or (2) are met, the source must notify the 

permitting authority by telephone during normal business hours at the

Regional Office of jurisdiction for this permit, attention Regional 

Air Pollution Control Engineer (RAPCE) according to the timetable 

listed in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this section. For deviations and 

incidences that must be reported outside of normal business hours, on 

weekends, or holidays, the DEC Spill Hotline phone number at 

1-800-457-7362 shall be used. A written notice, certified by a 

responsible official consistent with 6 NYCRR Part 201-6.3(d)(12), must

be submitted within 10 working days of an occurrence for deviations 

reported under (1) and (2). All deviations reported under 

paragraphs (1) and (2) of this section must also be identified in the 

6 month monitoring report required above.

The provisions of 6 NYCRR 201-1.4 shall apply if the permittee seeks 

to have a violation excused unless otherwise limited by regulation. 

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. Notwithstanding any recordkeeping and 

reporting requirements in 6 NYCRR 201-1.4, reports of any deviations 

shall not be on a less frequent basis than the reporting periods 

described in paragraphs (1) and (4) above.

emissions unit, process, emission source or emission point that has 

the necessary regulatory citations. Existing permit conditions may be 

amended to reference or include the new or changed emission source and

any related information, and/or, subject to DEC approval, new 

conditions proposed, to provide the appropriate monitoring 

parameters.

b. Any new or changed emission source shall not be part of a source 

project that results in a significant net emissions increase that 

exceeds the NSR thresholds identified in 6 NYCRR Part 231-2 or 40 CFR 

52.21. Permittee will submit documentation of major NSR program 

non-applicability for NYSDEC review and approval consistent with the 

advance notification provisions of Section III.B. below.

B. Notification Requirements for Changes Reviewed under Protocol

1. Permittee shall notify the Department in writing at least 30 

 Air Pollution Control Permit Conditions

Mod 5/Active Page 26 of 103 FINAL
Permit ID: 5-1548-00008/00081 Facility DEC ID: 5154800008

calendar days in advance of making any changes reviewed under the 

protocol. When the change is to a source subject to an applicable 

requirement, the EPA Administrator shall be notified in the same 

manner. Notifications made in accordance with this protocol will 

include the following documentation:

a. Identification of the Title V permit emission unit, process(es), 

emission sources, and emission points affected by the proposed change 

with applicable revisions shown in a revised Emission Unit 

Matrix;

b. Description of the proposed change;

c. If appropriate, the identification and description of emissions 

control technology and compliance terms;

d. Documentation of the project's or emission source's compliance 

with respect to all state and/or federally applicable requirements 

according to an established procedure which includes the following 

steps: 

i. For new emission sources, identify all contaminants and 

calculate

the emission rate potential and maximum projected actual annual 

emission rates after the proposed change. For changes to existing 

emission sources, emission rate potential and maximum projected actual

annual emission rates shall be provided for all contaminants affected 

by the change.

ii. Indicate the environmental rating for each contaminant 

identified in III.B.1.d.i as previously established by the Department 

or proposed based on the current DAR-1 Ambient Guideline Concentration

Table or toxicological review.

iii. Provide the rationale for determining that major NSR does not 

apply which may include: 1) an explanation that the change is not a 

source project or modification under 40 CFR 52.21, 2) calculations 

that demonstrate that the emissions increase from the project alone is

not significant or, 3) calculations that demonstrate that the net 

emissions increase for the contemporaneous period is not 

significant.

iv. Model facility wide emissions, including emissions from the 

proposed project, using a model approved in advance by the 

Department. Maximum projected actual annual emission rates consistent

with current permitting will be used in the model.

v. Identify and evaluate the applicability of all regulations 

likely to be triggered by the new or changed emission source, using 

the emissions information, environmental ratings, modeling results 

and knowledge of operations. 

e. Any other relevant information used for the evaluation of the 

proposed project or emission source under the Protocol. 

C. Review and Approval of Changes

impose new applicable requirements or additional permit conditions if 

it determines that changes proposed pursuant to notification do not 

meet the criteria under III.A or that the change may have a 

significant air quality impact or be otherwise potentially significant

under SEQRA (6NYCRR Part 617).

3. The Department may require that the permittee not undertake the 

proposed change until the Department completes a more detailed review 

of the proposed change, which may include potential air quality 

impacts and/or applicable requirements. The Department's determination

shall include a listing of information required for further review, if

necessary.

4. The Department shall respond to the permittee in writing with a

Item 37.1(From Mod 5):

This permit authorizes the following regulated processes for the cited Emission Unit:

Emission Unit: P-OWERH

Process: TDF Source Classification Code: 1-02-009-01

Process Description: 

During a 14 day trial and testing period, tire-derived fuel (TDF) 

will be combusted in the boiler along with number 6 fuel oil and wood.

 Alternative fuels (rejected digester knots and secondary biosolids) 

shall not be burned while TDF is being burned. The TDF loading will 

not exceed 3 tons per hour and the total heat input to the boiler will

not exceed 748 MMBtu per hour. TDF will be added to wood in the 

woodyard and pneumatically conveyed with the wood to the boiler. 

During the first week, TDF will be added in gradually increasing 

amounts while the boiler operators adjust the boiler to achieve 

optimum combustion conditions. During the second week, extensive 

stack testing will be performed to charactarize emissions. 

While the trial period is planned to be accomplished during 

consecutive days, it is understood that unforeseen conditions may 

cause delays. If such conditions occur, the trial may be accomplished

during 14 days of TDF use over a 21 day period.

Whenever TDF is being burned, facility personnel will monitor the SO2 

emission rate, NOX emission rate and stack opacity (during daylight 

hours). If any of these indicators exceed permit limits, the 

facility will stop adding TDF until the conditions have stabilized and

are in compliance. 

During the first week, PM emissions will be measured (using EPA Method

5) at baseline condition and while TDF is added at 1 ton per hour 

(TPH); 2 TPH; and 3 TPH. If PM emissions exceed 0.10 pounds per 

MMBtu, the facility will stop adding TDF.

when burning waste fuel must be at least 99% as demonstrated by 

emission testing conducted in accordance with 6NYCRR Subpart 202-1. 

Testing will also be required for metals, dioxins/furans and PCBs and 

results must be reviewed and approved prior to permanent use of the 

waste fuel. If testing results demonstrate a need to impose limits on 

waste fuel use, the Department will establish the limits with a 

modification to the permit.

Waste oil generated on site (lubricating, hydraulic and parts cleaning

oils) may be burned without performing the testing for metals, 

dioxins/furans and PCBs described above; under the following 

conditions:

Procedures are in place to ensure the oils are not contaminated with 

chemical waste,

Combustion efficiency testing is performed within 60 days of first use

of waste oil, 

the quantity does not exceed 10,000 gallons per year and,

the waste oil is blended with #6 oil at a ratio of not more than 1 

gallon waste oil to 100 gallons #6 oil.

Quantities of waste oil used must be recorded on each date it is 

blended with the #6 oil and the records maintained at the facility.

effectiveness of such emission units and emission control devices may 

be sufficient reason for the Department to revoke or deny a 

permit.

The owner or operator of the permitted facility must maintain all 

required records on-site for a period of five years and make them 

available to representatives of the Department upon request. 

Department representatives must be granted access to any facility 

regulated by this Subpart, during normal operating hours, for the 

purpose of determining compliance with this and any other state and 

federal air pollution control requirements, regulations or law.

Condition 2-25: Unavoidable noncompliance and violations

Effective between the dates of 01/27/2003 and 06/19/2006

Applicable State Requirement: 6NYCRR 201-1.4

Item 2-25.1:

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 startup/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.

Condition 84: Air pollution prohibited

Effective between the dates of 06/20/2001 and 06/19/2006

Applicable State Requirement: 6NYCRR 211.2

Item 84.1:

No person shall cause or allow emissions of air contaminants to the outdoor atmosphere of such 

quantity, characteristic or duration which are injurious to human, plant or animal life or to property, or 

which unreasonably interfere with the comfortable enjoyment of life or property. Notwithstanding the 

existence of specific air quality standards or emission limits, this prohibition applies, but is not limited 

to, any particulate, fume, gas, mist, odor, smoke, vapor, pollen, toxic or deleterious emission, either 

alone or in combination with others.
