The Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has received an application to re-issue the following EPA minor Private/Commercial/Institutional State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (P/C/I SPDES) permit. DEC has made a tentative determination to re-issue this permit for a five-year period, maintaining the current effluent limitations and monitoring and reporting requirements. This permit involves the surface discharge of .28 gallons per day of treated sanitary waste to the Lake Champlain.

     Additional information including the current permit, renewal applications, and supporting documentation may be obtained from or inspected at the NYSDEC central office in Albany. Substantive comments on the permit or requests for hearing or both must be submitted in writing to the contact person.

     SPDES Number: NY 009 2983

The applicant proposes to cap emission sources associated with the finished products production area under one emission unit at levels of 201.5 tons per year for Volatile Organic Compounds and 62.5 tons per year for Particulate Matter. This action will preclude the applicability of New Source Review and will allow operational flexibility both short and long term.

The applicant proposes a modification to the existing Air State Facility permit that will allow for an increase in the annual allowable fuel oil usage cap. The proposed annual usage of fuel oil will remain below levels that would trigger Title V and New Source Review applicability.
