§ 8-01 Submission of Environmental Rating Reports from Industrial Sources.
RCNY § 8-01
Environmental Rating Reports are required for every industrial process capable of emitting solid, liquid or gaseous contaminants to the open air, and are required regardless of when the equipment became operational. The Department requires that all operational industrial equipment, as defined in § 24-104(25) of the Administrative Code, in New York City submit an Environmental Rating Report pursuant to § 24-154 of the Code. The Environmental Rating Report is required to contain substantive information showing that the equipment is being operated in compliance with § 24-153 of the Code. The Environmental Rating Reports must be filed with the Bureau of Air Resources when specifically requested by the Bureau, and/or upon application for renewal of a Certificate of Operation if an Environmental Rating Report was not previously submitted. In accordance with § 24-138 of the Code an administrative fee must be submitted with the Environmental Rating Report. No fee is required if the Report is filed in support of an application for an operating certificate. Environmental Rating Reports are not required for oil or gas burners and boilers, unit space heaters, and exhausts used for comfort heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems. Any owner or operator who is unsure whether an Environmental Rating Report should be filed should complete and submit Form AR 510 to the Bureau of Air Resources. No fee is required when filing Form AR 510. The Bureau of Air Resources will notify the owner or operator within 60 days of filing Form AR 510 if an Environmental Rating Report must be submitted.
