N.Y. Environmental Conservation Law 19-0911 – Final control target
§ 19-0911. Final control target.
Terms Used In N.Y. Environmental Conservation Law 19-0911
- Acid deposition: means the wet or dry deposition from the atmosphere of chemical compounds, usually in the form of rain or snow, having the potential to form an aqueous compound with a pH level lower than the level considered normal under natural conditions, or lower than 5. See N.Y. Environmental Conservation Law 19-0903
- Deposition: An oral statement made before an officer authorized by law to administer oaths. Such statements are often taken to examine potential witnesses, to obtain discovery, or to be used later in trial.
- Emission: means the release of acid deposition precursors into the atmosphere from any facility or stationary source. See N.Y. Environmental Conservation Law 19-0903
- Final control target: means a limitation, expressed in terms of fuel sulfur content or equivalent emissions reductions, that will reduce the New York state share of total measured or estimated wet sulfate deposition in sensitive receptor areas by the percentage derived according to the following formula:
(Total measured or estimated New York's contribution to wet sulfate deposition) minus total measured or esti- (Environmental threshold value) mated wet sulfate deposition, X _______________________________ expressed as a percentage
Total measured or estimated
wet sulfate deposition
9. See N.Y. Environmental Conservation Law 19-0903 - Sensitive receptor areas: means regions of the state, encompassing geographically significant land areas not wholly contained within any county, that the department determines to be susceptible to the impacts of acid deposition based upon:
a. See N.Y. Environmental Conservation Law 19-0903 - Statute: A law passed by a legislature.
1. a. In the absence of a controlling federal statute or program which the commissioner determines is consistent with the purpose and intent of this title, the department shall formulate, no later than January first, nineteen hundred ninety-one, a final control target to bring about reductions in the state's contribution to the total sulfate deposition at each sensitive receptor area.
b. As part of such determination, the commissioner shall provide a written analysis of any actions taken or being contemplated by states that border on or are to the east of the Mississippi river or by the Canadian provinces of Ontario or Quebec and the potential or estimated effect of any such action on acid deposition in sensitive receptor areas.
c. Any such final control target formulated pursuant to this subdivision shall be submitted, in the form of legislative recommendations, to the governor and the legislature.
2. The department shall not adopt or implement the final control target until such time as further specific statutory authorization shall have been enacted, except that any such final control target shall permit the use of all reasonable sulfur dioxide emission control techniques as identified in subdivision two of section 19-0909 of this title.
