Article 19 Air Title V Facility |
|
| Project is Located: | Jefferson County | |

Project Description: The Department has drafted
a modification permit pursuant to Article 19 (Air Pollution
Control) of the New York State Environmental Conservation Law and Title V of the
Federal Clean Air Act Amendments and made a tentative determination to approve this
application for the existing facility located at Black River Power, LLC, 2nd Street West
and Oneida Avenue, Fort Drum, New York. Black River Power is an electric generating
facility.
Black River Power is proposing
to co-fire coal and alternative fuel in existing emission
unit U-00001, 3 circulating fluidized bed boilers. Each boiler is rated at 217 mmbtu/hr.
The alternative fuel is processed from pre-consumer, non-recyclable, non-reuseable, non-contaminated
plastic coated paper, wax coated paper, paper, and low chlorine content
(less than 0.16% dry weight as received) plastic film. Alternative fuel will be consumed
at rates up to 30 weight percent of total fuel feed rate. This minor modification is
expected to not produce any emission increases. The facility remains subject to PSD for
NOx, CO, and SO2. The facility is Title V major for NOx, CO, PM, PM-10 and
SO2.
Black River Power must perform stack testing for the toxics, hydrogen chloride, chlorine,
dioxins and furans.
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 requester 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 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 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's website at:
http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/ohms/gudph1.htm.
In accordance with 6NYCRR
Part 621.5(d)(9) and 201.6.4(c), the Administrator of the
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 applicable requirements
of the Clean Air Act or 6NYCRR Part 201. After the public comment period, the
USEPA will be provided a proposed permit and will have an additional 45 day period for
review. If USEPA does not raise any objection, the Department will issue the permit.
The application and Draft Title V Facility permit are available in the Region 6 NYSDEC
office in Watertown, New York.
