Vermont § 555 - Classification, reporting and registration

§ 555. Classification, reporting and registration

• (a) The Secretary, by rule, may classify air contaminant sources, which in his or her
  judgment may cause or contribute to air pollution, according to levels and types of
  emissions and other characteristics that relate to air pollution, and may require
  reporting by any class. Classifications made pursuant to this subsection may apply
  to the State as a whole or to any designated area of the State, and shall be made
  with special reference to effects on health, economic, and social factors, and physical
  effects on property. (b) Any person operating or responsible for the operation of air contaminant sources of
  any class for which the rules of the Secretary require reporting shall make reports
  containing information as required by the Secretary concerning location, size, and
  height of contaminant outlets, processes employed, fuels used and the nature and time
  periods of duration of emissions, and such other information relevant to air pollution
  and available or reasonably capable of being assembled. (c)(1) Any person operating or responsible for the operation of an air contaminant source
  shall register the source with the Secretary and renew the registration annually if
  the source emits: (A) more than or equal to five tons of contaminants per year; or (B) less than five tons of contaminants per year and is a source specified in rule by
  the Secretary. (2) Each day of operating an air contaminant source without a valid, current registration
  shall constitute a separate violation and subject the operator to a civil penalty
  not to exceed $100.00 per violation. The Secretary shall, after notice and opportunity
  for public hearing, adopt rules to carry out this section. (Added 1967, No. 310 (Adj. Sess.), § 5; amended 1971, No. 212 (Adj. Sess.), § 3; 1987, No. 76, § 3; 2015, No. 23, § 96; 2015, No. 57, § 22b.)
