Project Description: The Department has received a Title V application from PSEG POWER NEW YORK Inc. for the existing Albany Steam Station located at Rt 144, Glenmont, NY 12077 in the County of Albany. The Title V application includes conditions to establish future oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) Emission Reduction Credits (ERCs) resulting from the future shutdown of Albany Steam Station’s four existing boilers. Albany Steam Station is a fossil fuel-fired steam generating station consisting of four oil/gas 100 MW steam generators (boilers) and four steam turbines. Each steam generator is equipped with a cyclone device for particulate capture. Albany Steam Station also operates a natural gas fired, 64 mmBTU/hr package boiler for comfort heating. The Albany Steam Station is an USEPA, Acid Rain Program source subject to 40 CFR Parts 72 and 75. Albany Steam Station in accordance with the requirements of Part 75 operates continuous emission monitors for the pollutants SO2, NO2 and CO2. Additionally, Albany Steam Station operates a continuous opacity monitor in accordance with 6 NYCRR 227 and 40 CFR Part 75. The existing boilers will be shutdown as the proposed, new gas turbines are brought on-line. The quantity of ERC’s resulting from the shutdown are 838.9 tons per year NOx and 23.7 tons per year VOC. These ERC’s will be used for 6 NYCRR Part 231 netting purposes to demonstrate that the net changes in NOx and VOC emissions after shutdown of the existing boilers and startup of the new turbines are less than the significant net emission increase thresholds listed in 6 NYCRR Subpart 231-2, Table 2. In accordance with 6 NYCRR Parts 621.5 (d) 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 the applicable requirements of the Clean Air Act or NYCRR Part 201. The application and draft permit are available for review at the NYSDEC Region 4 Office, 1130 North Westcott Road, Schenectady, NY 12306. |
