Project is Located:

Jefferson County

Project Description:

This Department has received a request for a modification to a permit to operate air pollution emission sources and has drafted pursuant to Article 19 (Air Pollution Control) of the Environmental Conservation Law and Title V of the Federal Clean Air Act Amendments, an Air Title V Facility Permit, for the facility located at Innovative Energy Systems, Inc., Town of Rodman, Jefferson County, New York. This facility is engaged in the generation of electricity from the combustion of landfill gas captured at the Development Authority of the North Country (DANC) Solid Waste Management Facility. The Standard Industrial Classification representative of this facility is 4911, Electric Services.

This permit allows for the operation of landfill gas treatment equipment including proprietary gas dewatering, filtration and compression equipment; three (3) lean-burn internal combustion engines connected to individual electricity generators; and ancillary equipment that will support the electricity generation operations (Emission Unit 1-DLFGE).

The facility has potential emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) above the major source threshold.

The facility has accepted restrictions that limit the emission rates of carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from the each of the three (3) internal combustion engines. The CO limits keep the facility a minor source of air pollution for the purposes of 40 CFR 52.21, Prevention of Significant Deterioration. The NOx limits keep the facility a minor source of air pollution for the purposes of 6 NYCRR Part 227-2, NOx RACT (Reasonably Available Control Technology) and 6 NYCRR Part 231-2, Non-attainment New Source Review. The draft permit also contains requirements for periodic monitoring and testing of CO and NOx emissions from the internal combustion engines.

.In accordance with 6NYCRR Parts 621.5(d)(9) and 201-6.4(c), the Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has the authority to bar issuance of any Title V Facility Permit if it is determined not to be in compliance with applicable requirements of the Clean Air Act or 6NYCRR Part 201.

Persons wishing to inspect the subject Title V files, including the application with all relevant supporting materials, the draft permit, and all other materials available to the DEC (the "permitting authority") that are relevant to this permitting decision should contact the DEC representative listed below. It is recommended that an appointment be made to confirm the availability of the subject files. The DEC will endeavor to make the files available within 2 business days of contact, during normal business hours (8:30 am through 4:45 pm), unless the requestor wishes to inspect the files at a later date. The Draft Permit and Permit Review Report may be viewed and printed from the Department web site at: http://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/32249.html.

DEC will evaluate the application and the comments received on it to determine whether to hold a public hearing. A public hearing may be legislative or adjudicatory. A legislative public hearing is a proceeding which provides an additional opportunity for public comment. DEC's determination to hold a legislative public hearing will be based on whether a significant degree of public interest exists. If a legislative public hearing is to be held, a Notice of Hearing will be published which will include the time and place of the hearing and submitting comments. The applicant and all persons who have filed comments on the permit will be notified by mail of the public hearing. Comments and requests for a legislative public hearing should be in writing and addressed to the Department representative listed below.

An adjudicatory public hearing is a trial type proceeding which provides the opportunity for adjudication on the basis of evidence, including direct testimony and cross examination. An adjudicatory hearing is held only if substantive and significant issues relating to any findings or determinations the Department is required to make pursuant to the Environmental Conservation Law exist. A copy of the Department's permit hearing procedures is available upon request or on the Department web site at: http://www.dec.ny.gov/permits/6234.html.
