Chautauqua County Landfill 3889 Towerville Rd, Jamestown Ellery Center, NY 14701- |
|
| Application ID: | 9-0636-00006/00017 | |
| Permit(s) Applied for: |
Article 19 Air Title V Facility |
|
| Project is Located: | Ellery, Chautauqua County | |
|
Project Description: The Department has prepared
a Draft Air Title V facility permit pursuant to Article 19 (
Air Pollution Control) of the NYS Environmental Conservation Law and Title V of the
Federal Clean Air Act Amendments, and made a tentative determination to approve this
application for the air emissions from existing landfill at 3889 Towerville Road in the
Town of Ellery. The County of Chautauqua owns and operates this landfill which is
located on a 790 acre parcel. The facility, which opened in 1981, has a total design
capacity of 5.9 million megagrams (MG). The total landfill footprint is 83.5 acres, of
which 33 acres are active, 43.5 acres are closed and have received final cover, and an
additional 7acre landfill cell will begin construction at a later date. The landfill is an
existing facility for the purpose of applicability of 6 NYCRR Part 208, "Landfill Gas
Collection and Control Systems for Certain Municipal Solid Waste Landfills". The
landfill currently emits less than 50 megagrams per year of nonmethane organic
compounds (NMOC); therefore, Part 208 does not require a landfill gas capture and
control system. However, the County already installed an active landfill gas collection
system in accord with State solid waste management regulations in order to abate odors.
Part 208 and this permit will require the facility to monitor the quantity of solid waste
disposed at the landfill annually and to estimate annual NMOC emissions based on the
current amount of solid wasteinplace and the annual solid waste acceptance rate. If
emissions of NMOC reach 50 megagrams per year, the facility will be required to modify
the gas collection and control system according to the requirements of Part 208. The
County has recently installed an open "candlestick" flare for the gas collection system to
both control odors and to meet the emission control requirements of 6NYCRR Part 212.
Landfill gas is known to contain hazardous constituents. The candlestick flare will
deliver at least 98% NMOC destruction efficiency. The flare is intended to meet or
exceed the requirements of 40 CFR 60.18.
In accordance with 6NYCRR
Part 621.5(d)(9) and 210-6.4(c), the Administrator of the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 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. Following the 30 day comment
period, the EPA will have an additional 45 days to review the draft or modified draft
permit. If the EPA does not raise any objection in that time, the Department may then
issue the proposed permit as the Title V permit. 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. 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 procedures for 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:
