ENVIRONMENTAL NEWS Proposed
Changes to 6 NYCRR Part 212 / Public information meetings The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation is proposing changes to 6 NYCRR
Part 212 (Part 212), General Process Emission Sources. The public informational meetings will be structured to present significant
revisions of the regulation and the New York State Air Toxics Program by Department staff. These changes
implement the New York State Clean Air Compliance Act (NYSCACA), the federal Clean Air Act (CAA) and streamline the current
state air toxics regulatory requirements and guidelines. The proposed regulatory action divides the current
Part 212, General Process Emission Sources into five Subparts: 212-1
General Process Emission Sources - Standard Requirements; 212-2 The
Control of Solid Particulate Emissions from Process Emission Sources; 212-3 Reasonably
Available Control Technology for Process Emission Sources Emitting Volatile Organic Compounds and Nitrogen Oxides; 212-4 The Control of Sulfur Dioxides and Lead from Process Emission Sources; and212-5 The Control of State Hazardous Air Pollutants (SHAPs) from Process Emission Sources.
The purpose of separating the regulation into Subparts is to clearly delineate federal and state
requirements, and to facilitate regulatory updates by Subpart when required.
Public Information Meetings
The New York State Department
of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) will conduct four public information meetings to present proposed revisions to 6 NYCRR
Part 212 General Process Emission Sources and respond to questions prior to the required public hearings. The meetings will
