BILL NUMBER:S1378 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to restricting the operation of diesel powered electrical generation systems in areas identified as not meeting certain federal air quality standards for ozone PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To restrict the use of diesel powered electric turbines to meet summer electricity demand in areas of the state that already have severely compromised air quality, because diesel turbines are very dirty sources of air pollution. Diesel generated electricity will be allowed in prescribed circumstances, including customary uses such as emergency back-up during a power outage. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section one amends the environmental conservation law by adding a new section 19-0311-a which prohibits the generation of electricity by diesel combustion in any part of the State that is designated pursuant to the federal Clean Air Act and EPA as being in non-attainment of the national ambient air quality standards for ozone unless: *the generating capacity is less than 100 kilowatts;
