No person required by the provisions of section 22a-174 to obtain a permit for the construction and operation of an air contaminant source, including, but not limited to, a fume incinerator, shall construct and operate such source, except as authorized by the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection. Any use or operation of such source not authorized by the commissioner shall be cause for the commissioner to revoke the subject permit. The commissioner, as he deems necessary, may require an emission test of the source as a condition of such permit. The results of any such test shall be sent to the legislative body of the municipality in which the source is located upon request of such legislative body. The commissioner may require, by regulations adopted in accordance with the provisions of chapter 54, payment of a fee by the owner or operator of an air contaminant source sufficient to cover the reasonable cost to the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection of conducting or monitoring an emission test required pursuant to this section or section 22a-174. The commissioner may revoke the permit of any person who violates any regulation adopted by the commissioner pursuant to section 22a-174.
