250.22 Special limitation—General Electric Company of Schenectady: Rotterdam boiler facility.
It is ordered, pursuant to section 225.2(c) of this Title, that a special limitation for Units 1, 2, 3, and 4 at the Rotterdam steam generating facility is granted, to the extent that the General Electric Company (G.E.) of Schenectady, New York is authorized to purchase and use residual oil of up to a maximum of 2.8 percent sulfur content by weight in each of such units, and that residual oil of up to 2.8 percent sulfur content by weight may be sold to G.E. for use in each such unit. The limitation is conditioned on the following:
(a) that G.E. provide and operate a department-approved continuous monitoring network;
(b) that the special limitation shall take effect on approval of the terms thereof by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA);
(c) that, as approved by EPA, the special limitation shall continue in effect for a period of three years from the date of such approval;
(d) 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 the Rotterdam facility at such higher sulfur-content oil as authorized herein contributes to the contravention of any applicable ambient air quality standard, or a determination that such operation would significantly degrade air quality;
(e) 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;
(f) that G.E. shall submit quarterly reports which summarize sulfur dioxide concentrations as measured by its monitoring network for averaging times corresponding to Federal and State ambient air quality standards and wind observations obtained by instrumentation at both facilities; the format and submission schedule of such reports shall be in accordance with department specifications;
(g) that G.E. shall submit two copies of all reports, required by this order, to the following individuals:
(1) the department's Region 4 Air Pollution Control Engineer;
(2) the department's Division of Air, Chief, Power Plant Review Section;
(h) that G.E. shall revise the reporting format and reporting dates upon notification by the department;
(i) that G.E. will maintain a reserve supply of oil of 2.0 percent sulfur content by weight for use as directed by the department during emergency periods;
(j) that the special limitation granted in this section shall not relieve G.E. 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 G.E. from any responsibilities for compliance with any applicable laws, regulations or requirements.
