Sec. 250.11. Special limitations—Northern Air Quality Control Region

It is ordered, pursuant to section 225.2(c) of this Title:

(a) that a special limitation for the Northern Air Quality Control Region is granted, to the extent that fuel oil of up to 2.8 percent sulfur content by weight may be sold to and used by all sources in said region with total rated heat inputs not in excess of 250 million BTU per hour, except all such sources in the City of Glens Falls, all sources in the Town of Queensbury with total rated heat inputs in excess of 100 million BTU per hour, the Stevens and Thompson Paper Company in Washington County, the Newton Falls Paper Mill, Inc. in St. Lawrence County and the Clinton Correctional Facility in Clinton County;

(b) that this special limitation shall take effect no sooner than 30 days after the regulations are filed and only on approval of the terms thereof by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, and as approved shall continue in effect until and including June 30, 1984;

(c) that the department expressly reserves the right to modify or revoke this 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 this special limitation fails adequately to protect the public health and welfare from sulfates, a determination that use of such higher sulfur content oil by sources subject to the special limitation herein contributes to the contravention of any applicable ambient air quality standard, or a determination that such use would significantly degrade air quality; and

(d) that the special limitation granted herein shall not relieve any affected source owner or operator from operating any affected source in such manner as to conform to the terms and conditions of any applicable Certificate to Operate issued therefor; nor shall the special limitation issued herein otherwise relieve any such source owner or operator from any responsibilities for compliance with any applicable laws, regulations or requirements.
