250.19 Special limitations—Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc.: Units 1 and 2 of the Bowline Point generating facility.
It is ordered, pursuant to section 225.2 of this Subchapter:
(a) that a special limitation for Units 1 and 2 of the Bowline Point generating facility is granted, to the extent that Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. (O&R) is authorized to purchase and use residual oil of up to a maximum of 0.60 percent sulfur content by weight in each such unit, and that residual oil of up to 0.60 percent sulfur content by weight may be sold to O&R for use in each such unit. The limitation is conditioned on the following:
(1) that O&R provide and operate a department-approved continuous monitoring network;
(2) that O&R shall notify the department by letter or telegram prior to commencement of burning oil exceeding 0.37 percent sulfur content by weight;
(3) that, the special limitation shall continue in effect until April 24, 1983;
(4) that the department expressly reserves the right to modify or revoke the special limitation on reasonable notice if the department determines such action is necessary to protect the public interest, including but not limited to a determination that the special limitation fails adequately to protect the public health and welfare from sulfates, a determination that operation of Bowline Point at such higher sulfur content oil as authorized herein contributed to the contravention of any applicable ambient air quality standard, or a determination that such operation would significantly degrade air quality;
(5) that the department reserves the right to audit and require modification of the continuous monitoring network at any time, provided adequate time is allowed for any modification required;
(6) that O&R shall submit semiannual reports, which summarize sulfur dioxide concentrations, as measured by its monitoring network, for averaging times corresponding to Federal and State ambient air quality standards. The first semiannual report shall be submitted eight months after the limitation. The second semiannual report shall be submitted six months after the first report and shall include data for 7 through 11 of the approved limitations. This frequency of semiannual reporting shall continue for the duration of the limitation.
(7) that O&R shall submit two copies of all reports, required by this order, to the following individuals:
(i) the department's Region 3 Air Pollution Control Engineer;
(ii) Director, Rockland County Department of Health;
(iii) the department's Division of Air, Chief, Source Review Section.
(8) that O&R shall revise the reporting format and reporting dates upon notification by the department;
(9) that O&R conduct an investigation program to develop and validate a mathematical modeling procedure which will provide accurate estimates of impact on the prevention of significant deterioration increments for SO 2under “building downwash” conditions. That such program will incorporate expansion of the existing monitoring network, development procedures and accuracy of performance criteria determined and agreed to by the department;
(10) that O&R will maintain a three-day reserve supply of oil of 0.37 percent sulfur content by weight for use as directed by the department during emergency periods associated with air pollution episodes;
(11) that the special limitation granted in this section shall not relieve O&R from operating the subject facility in such manner as to conform to the terms and conditions of the Certificate to Operate issued therefor; nor shall the special limitation issued in this section otherwise relieve O&R from any responsibilities for compliance with any applicable laws, regulations or requirements.
