Except as otherwise prOVided in this Subsection 4.7, emissions resulting from an 

unavoidable breakdown will not be deemed a violation of these regulations.; If 

excess emissions are predichble, they must be' authorized under the va:riance 

procedure in Section 2.3.' Breakdowns that are caused entirely or in part b)'poor 

maintenance, careless operation, or any other preventable upset condition or prev~nhble equipment breakdown shall not be considered unavoidable breakdown . . .. 4.7.1 Reporting. A breakdown for any. period longer than 2 hours must be
