New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 21 - Miscellaneous › Chapter XI - New York State Energy Research And Development Authority › Part 510 - Evaluation Criteria for Determining the Cost Effectiveness of Proposed Changes to the Energy Conservation Construction Code of New York State › Section 510.1 - Scope and Purpose

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) The New
				York State Legislature has established greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction
				mandates in New York State to 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 and then to 85%
				below 1990 levels by 2050. The State Energy Conservation Construction Code
				(Energy Code) is an important regulatory tool to assist in achieving these
				goals. The New York State Fire Prevention and Building Code Council (Code
				Council) is authorized to review and amend the Energy Code, or adopt a new
				Energy Code, through the promulgation of rules and regulations. To amend the
				Energy Code, the Code Council must determine that the Energy Code remains cost
				effective with respect to building construction in the State. The Code
				Council's cost-effective determination must include a lifecycle cost analysis;
				and the value of societal effects, such as reductions in GHG
				emissions.
(b) The purpose of this
				Part is to
(1) establish a methodology for
				determining whether the life-cycle costs for a building will be recovered
				through savings in energy costs over the design life of the building under a
				lifecycle cost analysis;
(2) define
				secondary or societal effects to be considered in the cost effectiveness
				determination; and
(3) provide a
				method for quantifying the societal effects so that they can be added to the
				lifecycle costs. This Part implements amendments to paragraph (a) of
				subdivision 2 of section
				11-103 of the
				Energy Law, as enacted by the "Advanced Building Codes, Appliance and Equipment
				Efficiency Standards Act of 2022."
New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 21 - Miscellaneous › Chapter XI - New York State Energy Research And Development Authority › Part 510 - Evaluation Criteria for Determining the Cost Effectiveness of Proposed Changes to the Energy Conservation Construction Code of New York State › Section 510.3 - Life-cycle Cost Analysis of Energy Code Updates

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) Life-cycle costs of an Energy Code update
				for commercial buildings will be analyzed by using the methodology for
				determining life-cycle cost net present value of savings established in the
DOE Commercial Methodology
, as incorporated by reference in
				section 510.7 of this Part and as modified
				in this section for New York State. Life-cycle costs of an Energy Code update
				for residential buildings will be analyzed by using the methodology for
				life-cycle costs established in the
DOE Residential
				Methodology
, as incorporated by reference in section
				510.7 of this Part and as modified
				in this section for New York State.
(b) Building Energy Use Evaluation. For both
				commercial and residential buildings, whole building simulation will be used to
				calculate annual energy consumption for the duration of the study period for
				relevant end uses of buildings with construction starts that fall within a
				three-year period commencing on the effective date of an Energy Code update.
(1) Building Prototypes. Prototype building
				models developed by DOE under the Building Code Energy Program will be selected
				as follows:
(i) Commercial prototype building
				models. DOE commercial prototype building models will be modified as necessary
				to align with the anticipated predominant new construction system and equipment
				parameters in New York State. A minimum of 5 prototypes will be selected to
				represent not less than 75% of new construction starts by floor area in New
				York State.
(ii) Residential
				prototype building models. DOE residential building prototypes will be modified
				as necessary to align with anticipated predominant new construction system and
				equipment parameters in New York State.
New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 21 - Miscellaneous › Chapter XI - New York State Energy Research And Development Authority › Part 510 - Evaluation Criteria for Determining the Cost Effectiveness of Proposed Changes to the Energy Conservation Construction Code of New York State › Section 510.4 - Societal Effects

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a)
				Societal Effects Defined. Societal effects will include the value of avoided
				GHG emissions resulting from changes in electricity and fuel
				consumption.
(b) Estimating the
				value of avoided GHG emissions. Avoided GHG emissions will be calculated by
				multiplying the incremental annual building electricity and fuel consumption
				determined in accordance with section
				510.3(b) of this
				Part by the corresponding GHG emissions factors.
(1) Emissions Factors. Emissions factors from
				the following reports published by NYSERDA detailing emissions factors for grid
				electricity,
Projected Emission Factors for New York State Grid
				Electricity
, as incorporated by reference in section

New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 21 - Miscellaneous › Chapter XII - Interstate Environmental Commission › Part 550 - Water Quality Regulations › Section 550.1 - General

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) All waters of
				the Interstate Environmental District (whether of class A, class B, or any
				subclass thereof) shall be of such quality and condition that they will be free
				from floating solids, settleable solids, oil, grease, sludge deposits, color or
				turbidity to the extent that none of the foregoing shall be noticeable in the
				water or deposited along the shore or an aquatic substrata in quantities
				detrimental to the natural biota; nor shall any of the foregoing be present in
				quantities that would render the waters in question unsuitable for use in
				accordance with their respective classifications.
(b) No toxic or deleterious substances shall
				be present, either alone or in combination with other substances, in such
				concentrations as to be detrimental to fish or inhibit their natural migration,
				or that will be offensive to humans or which would produce offensive tastes or
				odors or be unhealthful in biota used for human consumption.
(c) No sewage or other polluting matters
				shall be discharged or permitted to flow into, or be placed in, or permitted to
				fall or move into, the waters of the district, except in conformity with this
				Part.
New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 21 - Miscellaneous › Chapter XII - Interstate Environmental Commission › Part 550 - Water Quality Regulations › Section 550.2 - Classification of waters

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) There
				are two classes of waters within the Interstate Environmental District: class A
				and class B. Each class is divided into subclasses. The requirements of section
				550.1 of this Part shall apply to
				all waters within the Interstate Environmental District. In addition, each
				subclass of the waters shall meet the requirements and be available for the
				uses as provided for that subclass.
(b) It is the underlying principle of these
				regulations that each class and subclass of waters within the Interstate
				Environmental District is to be suitable for its best intended uses and that
				all waters are to be protected, maintained, and improved to the end that they
				will afford as satisfactory conditions as possible for the maintenance and
				restoration of the natural ecosystems. It is also recognized that different
				classifications of waters are appropriate for different areas because of
				varying activities such as are associated with industry, commerce (including
				waterborne transportation), recreation, and aesthetic enjoyment. All waters
				should be aesthetic assets and should, at a minimum, be available for those
				recreational uses which do not bring the human body into direct contact with
				the water.
(c)
(1) Streams and other waterbodies shall have
				a minimum dissolved oxygen content in accordance with their respective
				classifications as follows:
(i) A: Dissolved
				Oxygen: 5 milligrams per liter;
(ii) B-1: Dissolved Oxygen: 4 milligrams per
				liter;
(iii) B-2: Dissolved Oxygen:
				3 milligrams per liter.

				the Harlem River to the New York - New Jersey state line opposite Hastings on
				Hudson;
(4) the Raritan River, east
				of the Victory Bridge and into Raritan Bay and to the lower end of the Arthur
				Kill on a line drawn from the southernmost point of Staten Island to the
				southernmost point of Perth Amboy;
(5) Sandy Hook Bay;
(6) the Lower New York Bay, northerly to a
				line drawn from the tip of Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island to the tip of
				Seagate in Brooklyn; and
(7) the
				Atlantic Ocean and the estuaries and tidal waters thereof, west of the easterly
				side of Fire Island Inlet and continuing into Lower New York Bay.

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) Prior to any
				planned discharge of raw sewage material or partially treated sewage material
				from a public or private sewage treatment facility directly into the waters of
				the Interstate Environmental District, the discharger shall prepare a notice
				designed to inform the Interstate Environmental Commission of the location,
				character and amount of the planned discharge. The notice shall be in the form
				and contain the information specified by the Interstate Environmental
				Commission, as more specifically denoted in subdivision (c) of this section.
				The notice required herein does not apply to wet weather discharges from
				combined sewer overflows or storm sewer overflows.
(b) Written notice shall be provided to the
				Interstate Environmental Commission by the discharger as soon as the discharger
				has actual knowledge of the planned action or event but in no event less than
				10 days prior to the planned action or event. Oral notice is not required under
				this regulation, however, if the discharger chooses to provide oral notice
				initially, then written notice must be provided within 24 hours of the oral
				notification.
(c) The contents of
				the notice to the Interstate Environmental Commission shall include at least
				the following:
(1) date of the planned action
				and date of the prospective application for the discharge permit, if required,
				and the end of any public comment period if required by the discharger's home
				state;
(2) name, address and
				telephone number of the relevant regional and central offices of the State
				environmental department at which interested persons may obtain further
				information, when and if so filed;
(3) name and address of the prospective
				discharger;
(4) brief description
				of each prospective discharger's activities or operations which would result in
				the prospective discharge(s) (e.g., public or private wastewater treatment
				plant, sewage system);
(5) name of
				the waterway to which each discharge is to be made and a short description of
				the quality, character, location and entity responsible for each discharge
				described in the application, a sketch or detailed description of the location
				of the discharge will serve to satisfy this requirement; and
(6) a qualitative description of the
				discharge, which shall include at least the following:
(i) the estimated rate, duration and
				frequency of the proposed discharge and, if the discharge is continuous, the
				average daily flow in gallons per day;
(ii) any and all pollutants to be discharged
				as authorized by a discharge permit, if required, and the anticipated average
				daily discharge or concentration of pollutants; and
(iii) the degree of treatment, disinfection
				and floatables collection that the flow will receive prior to the
				discharge.
New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 21 - Miscellaneous › Chapter XII - Interstate Environmental Commission › Part 550 - Water Quality Regulations › Section 550.5 - Commission requirements consolidated

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
It is the purpose and effect of this Part to contain all of
				  the water quality requirements of the commission, whether in force because
				  expressly set forth in the Tri-State Compact or in force because adopted by the
				  commission pursuant to the provision of the compact variously known as article
				  XVII or article VII.3. Accordingly, requirements contained in the compact and
				  still in force are repeated in this Part and made part hereof. In accordance
				  with article XVII or article VII.3 of the compact, the other provisions of this
				  Part are in addition to or in substitution for requirements previously in
				  force.
New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 21 - Miscellaneous › Chapter XII - Interstate Environmental Commission › Part 550 - Water Quality Regulations › Section 550.6 - Variances

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) Any person or
				other entity discharging effluents is relieved of the requirements for such
				effluents contained in section
				550.2(e)(3) and
				(4) of this Part if at all times of the year
				the waters into which the discharge enters meet the requirements of section
				550.2(c) of this
				Part. The foregoing applies only if the discharger who is discharging
				biochemical oxygen demand or total suspended solids or both has a permit from
				the United States Environmental Protection Agency or the State pursuant to
				section 402 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act amendments of 1972
				(33 USC
				1342), which permit has requirements or
				limitations relating to discharge of biochemical oxygen demand, total suspended
				solids, or both, as the case may be, and the discharger is complying with those
				requirements or limitations.
(b)
				Nothing in these regulations shall be construed to encourage or give the
				sanction of the Interstate Environmental Commission to the degradation of any
				waters which are of a quality consistent with these regulations. Accordingly,
				it is the responsibility of any discharger determining that he will proceed
				under these variance provisions to plan and operate his facilities and
				processes with due regard for present and changing conditions of, and affecting
				the waters in, his area. It shall not be a defense to a violation that the
				discharger did not anticipate or was not aware of changes which have resulted
				in the applicability of section
				550.2(e)(3) and
				(4) of this Part, to his effluent
				discharge.
