The Department has made a tentative decision to approve an application for an Air State Facility Permit for Monadnock Paper Mills, Inc., at their paper coating facility located at 62 Griswold Street, Binghamton, NY pursuant to Article 19 (Air Pollution Control) of the NYS Environmental Conservation Law.

This facility consists of one paper coating machine, subject to 6NYCRR Part 228, DEC's surface coating regulation. Monadnock will use low-Volatile Organic Chemicals containing coatings to comply with that rule. Additionally, Monadnock will limit annual plant wide emissions to less than the major source thresholds. Permit conditions will limit (or cap) the potential to emit to below the applicability levels for the following regulations: Part 201-6, Title V; Part 231-2, New Source Review in Non-attainment Areas and Ozone Transport Regions; and Title III of the Clean Air Act.

The permit application, draft permit, relevant supporting materials and regulations are available for review during normal business hours at the Region 7 Cortland sub-office, 1285 Fisher Avenue, Cortland, NY.

To relocate approximately 250' of Big Brook and to stabilize 350' of stream bank to protect an existing 345kV electric transmission structure.

Applicant, Jeff Holbrook of JWJ Inc., proposes to expand an existing 40 tons-per-day construction and deomolition waste transfer station. The new proposal is for a 100 tons-per-day combined C & D and municipal solid waste transfer station at this same location. The enlarged facility would include construction of a building for enclosed waste storage and handling, along County Route 51 in the Town of New Haven.

The Department has made a tentative decision to approve an application for a Title V Permit for Cornell University, 300 Day Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853 pursuant to Article 19 (Air Pollution Control) of the NYS Environmental Conservation Law and Title V of the Clean Air Act. Cornell University operates the following pollutant emitting devices (that are not otherwise exempt): Boiler 1, which fires coal; Boiler 2, which fires oil; Boiler 5, which fires gas; Boilers 76 and 7, which fire oil or gas and are subject to NSPS Subpart Db; Boiler 8, which fires coal; and a diesel generator. This Title V permit is one of four Title V permits that will be issued to Cornell. Permit conditions specific to Cornell include: special sulfur in fuel limits for the coal fired in Boilers 1 and 8 (which are more stringent than the limits in Part 225-1); annual operating hours on Boiler 5 (for Nox control); a load floor for boiler 2; and load and operating hours on the diesel generator (to avoid new source review).

Emissions from Cornell's campus exceed the threshold for a "major source," and Cornell is thus subject to Part 201-6 and Title V. Cornell has submitted applications for four separate Title V permits, and this notice concerns the permit for the utilities department. Cornell operates coal, oil and gas fossil fuel-fired boilers at their central heating plant. The draft permit contains emission limits for particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide (sulfur in fuel). The draft permit also allows Cornell to burn waste fuel A. The permit restricts the operation of a diesel generator to avoid new source review. In accordance with 6 NYCRR Parts 621.6(d)(9) and 201-6.1(c), the administrator of the EPA has authority to bar issuance of this permit if it is determined not to be in compliance with applicable requirements of the Clean Air Act or 6 NYCRR Part 201.

The application, draft permit, relevant supporting materials and regulations are available for review during normal business hours at the DEC Region 7 sub-office, 1285 Fisher Ave, Cortland, NY. Comments of support or objection may be made by filing a written statement by the deadline date indicated. DEC may schedule a public hearing based upon an evaluation of the nature and scope of any written objections raised. Hearing Notices will contain instructions on filing for party status and submitting comments.
