The site is located at 701-827 East 14 Street, New York 10009. The facility is subject to Title V requirements as it is a major source of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) which exceeds 25 tons per year. The application, draft permit, relevant supporting materials and regulations are available for review during normal business hours at the DEC office provided in this notice. Comments of support or objection may be made by filing a written statement by the deadline date indicated.
