Project Description: THIS IS A COMBINED NOTICE OF COMPLETE APPLICATIONS AND
LEGISLATIVE PUBLIC HEARING
PERMIT APPLICATIONS: The
Eastman Kodak Company (Kodak) submitted Phase 1
of its application for a Title V Facility Permit for the Kodak Park facility on December 9,
1997, pursuant to New York State Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) Article 19
(Air Pollution Control) and 6 NYCRR Part 201 and Title V of the Federal Clean Air Act
Amendments. Kodak submitted Phase II of the application for a Title V permit (DEC
Application/Permit No. 8-2614-00205/01801) for the Kodak Park facility on December 9,
1998. On December 5, 2001, an application ( DEC Application/Permit No. 8-2614-00205/01827) for a Title
V permit was submitted for Kodak by Trigen Cinergy Solutions
of Rochester (TCSoR) for three emission units (U00015, U00035, and U00051)
associated with Kodak Park’s steam and electricity generating facilities.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The
NYS Department of Environmental Conservation
(DEC) has drafted two permits pursuant to New York State Environmental Conservation
Law (ECL) Article 19 (Air Pollution Control), 6 NYCRR Part 201, and Title V of the
Federal Clean Air Act Amendments and has made a tentative determination to approve
these permits for the existing Kodak Park facility located within the City of Rochester
and the Town of Greece, Monroe County, New York.
The Kodak Park facility
is a large, integrated manufacturing plant that produces
photographic films, papers, and synthetic organic chemicals. There are 71 Emission Units
with air contaminant emissions at the Kodak Park facility. The draft Title V Facility
Permit 8-2614-00205/01801 covers 68 process-related Emission Units. The other draft
Title V Facility Permit 8-2614-00205/01827, which also has a description in this edition
of the ENB, covers the remaining three emission units which include the combustion
installation units (boilers) used for the generation of steam and electricity to support
manufacturing activities within Kodak Park.
Emissions of the following
air contaminants from the Kodak Park facility exceed the
major stationary source threshold levels for Title V, as well as for Prevention of
Significant Deterioration (PSD - 40CFR 52), which is the federal new source review
regulation for major stationary sources that are in areas in attainment of National
Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS): Particulate Matter (PM), Particulate Matter
less than10 microns (PM-10), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), and
Sulfur Dioxide (SO2). The emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), total
Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP), and individual HAP from the Kodak Park facility also
exceed the Title V facility threshold for a major stationary source.
For the most part, the draft
Title V Facility Permits contain regulatory requirements and
permit conditions that pertain to the existing and ongoing operations at the Kodak Park
facility. For these existing operations, Kodak has previously received DEC
authorizations to construct and operate the emission units, emission points, processes, and
emission sources that are included within the draft Title V Facility Permits. The
following describes a few facility changes that Kodak has recently requested DEC
incorporate into the draft Title V Facility permits.
FACILITY CHANGES INCORPORATED
INTO DRAFT TITLE V PERMITS:
A. ESTABLISH EMISSION LIMITS FOR TWO EMISSION POINTS EP
101-1 AND
EP 304A8 TO COMPLY WITH REASONABLE AVAILABLE CONTROL
TECHNOLOGY ( RACT ) REQUIREMENTS FOUND IN 6 NYCRR PART
212 [GENERAL PROCESS EMISSION SOURCES]:
Kodak has made a request
to modify emission limits for two emission points which were
previously approved by DEC for compliance with the Reasonable Available Control
Technology ( RACT ) requirements found in 6 NYCRR Part 212 [General Process
Emission Sources]. In support of these modification requests, Kodak has submitted
RACT evaluation reports for each emission point. One report re-evaluates RACT for
NOx emissions from Emission Point (EP) 101-1, which is in Emission Unit U00063 and
vents air contaminants from the Rochester Silver Flow operations. The re-evaluation of
RACT for EP 101-1 became necessary when recent stack testing of the Roaster, one of
the emission sources vented to EP 101-1, indicated that baseline NOx emissions from EP
101-1 are 25.5 tons per year (TPY). The previously estimated baseline NOx emissions
and currently approved alternate emission limit for compliance with Part 212 RACT
requirements for EP 101-1 is 9.7 TPY. The other RACT evaluation report re-evaluates
RACT for VOC emissions from EP 304A8, which is in Emission Unit U00077 and vents
air contaminants from a product pelletization process. An alternate emission limit of 21
TPY of VOC for EP 304A8 was previously approved by DEC on January 21, 1997 for
compliance with Part 212 RACT. Permit conditions require this RACT evaluation to be
reviewed every 5 years. Based on the current operations and the recent re-evaluation for
EP 304A8, a lower VOC emission rate of 9.03 TPY is proposed.
Kodak’s RACT Evaluation
report concluded that EP 101-1 currently has RACT for NOx
emissions since add-on controls, alternative fuels, and additional combustion
modifications could not be identified which were both technically feasible and cost
effective. For EP 304A8, Kodak’s RACT Evaluation Report concluded that EP 304A8
currently has RACT for VOC emissions since add-on controls, process changes or
material substitutions could not be identified, which were both technically feasible and
cost effective. Based on the review of the RACT Evaluation reports, DEC has made a
tentative decision to approve the alternate emission limits of 25.5 TPY of NOx for EP
101-1 and 9.03 TPY of VOC for EP 304A8. The draft Title V Facility Permit (8-2614-00205/01801) contains
these emission limits and also requires a review of the RACT
Determination every five years. Kodak will need to maintain emission records on a
rolling 12-month basis to verify compliance. The alternate emission limits for RACT
compliance, will subsequently be processed through a federal review process as a revision
of the State Implementation Plan.
Kodak has recently submitted
a request for interim approval under a State Facility Permit
to operate a paperboard scrap collection system associated with paperboard cutting
operations located in Building 318. The emissions from the paperboard scrap collection
system are vented through Emission Point 318B9, which is included in Emission Unit
U00081. Based on vendor information, 99.9% of the particulate emissions from the
paperboard scrap collection system will be collected by an installed baghouse.
Based on Kodak’s review,
the addition of this emission source meets the definition of a
modification pursuant to PSD regulations, but the maximum potential emissions from the
project are expected to be below the significance levels for a major PSD modification.
However, since the potential emission rate of particulate has not been verified, Kodak has
proposed to cap emissions and permit conditions have been included in the draft permit to
limit Particulate Matter and PM10 emissions to below the 25 TPY and 15 TPY PSD
significance thresholds, respectively, and also require a stack test to establish the
emission rate potential (ERP) of Particulate Matter and PM10 emissions. In addition, a
monitoring condition has been included to ensure optimal controls are provided by the
baghouse.
DEC is providing a separate
Public Notice and public comment period associated with
the processing of the interim approval under State Facility Permit for this modification of
Emission Unit U00081. DEC intends to issue the interim State Facility Permit approval,
unless significant or substantive issues are identified within the public comment period
for the interim State Facility permit application. The proposed permit conditions
associated with this project have been incorporated into the draft Title V Facility Permit.
The final permit conditions that are subsequently adopted within the interim State Facility
Permit approval will be incorporated into the Proposed Title V Facility permit that is to
be sent to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).
Other permitting modifications
that have been incorporated within the draft Title V
facility permit involve four emission points whose emission rates of specific
contaminants exceed the threshold for applicability for a DEC determination of Best
Available Control Technology (BACT), pursuant to 6NYCRR 212.4(a). DEC reviewed
BACT evaluation reports submitted by Kodak and has made the determination to limit
emissions of specific contaminants emitted from the four emission points. The following
lists the Emission Points (EP) with their emission units, along with the emission limits
for each contaminant: EP 17-01 (U00061) - emissions of methylene chloride limited to 20
lbs per year; EP 29-N5 (U00003) - emissions of acetone limited to 0.15 TPY; EP 29-U6
(U00004) - emissions of acetone limited to 0.375 TPY, emissions of formaldehyde
limited to 0.00051 TPY, emissions of methylene chloride limited to 1.156 TPY; and EP
38-18 (U00047) - emissions of acetone limited to 0.263 TPY.
PROCEDURES FOR INCORPORATING
FUTURE DEC INTERIM STATE
FACILITY PERMIT APPROVALS INTO THE TITLE V FACILITY PERMITS
Before a final decision
is made to issue the draft Title V Facility Permits for Kodak Park,
it is anticipated that Kodak will have need to seek DEC approval for other changes to be
made at the Kodak Park facility. Until Title V Facility Permits have been issued for the
Kodak Park facility, DEC will be treating Kodak’s approval requests as applications for
interim State Facility Permit approvals. Where the interim State Permit approval requests
are for activities that are considered major projects under DEC’s permit application
review procedures (6NYCRR Part 621, Uniform Procedure regulations ), DEC will
require a public notice of complete application and a public comment period on the
application and draft permit conditions. DEC intends to issue the interim State Facility
Permit approval with proposed permit conditions, unless significant or substantive issues
are identified within the public comment period. For those interim State Facility Permit
approvals that are issued by DEC between the date of this public notice of the draft Title
V Facility Permits for Kodak Park but before the proposed Title V Facility Permits are
submitted to United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), DEC plans to
incorporate the permit conditions associated with the interim approvals within the
proposed Title V Facility Permits and note these changes to the draft permits within the
Responsiveness Summary document that will accompany the proposed Title V permits
when they are sent to USEPA. DEC intends to incorporate all Interim State Facility
Permit approvals granted to Kodak subsequent to the submission of the proposed Title V
permits to USEPA, by modification of the Kodak Park Title V Facility Permits after they
have been issued.
SUBSEQUENT REVIEW OF
PUBLIC COMMENTS AND PROPOSED TITLE V
FACILITY PERMIT BY DEC AND USEPA: DEC staff has determined that conducting
a legislative hearing to afford the public the opportunity to make comments about the
applications is appropriate. The hearing is being held pursuant to 6 NYCRR Part 621.7,
which authorizes DEC to hold a legislative hearing where DEC staff determines a
significant degree of public interest exists in an application. Details concerning the
legislative hearing appear below. Following receipt of all public comments, including
those made at the legislative hearing, DEC staff will review the comments, make any
necessary changes to the draft permits based upon meritorious comments received, and
evaluate whether any issues have been raised which are sufficient to warrant further DEC
hearings to resolve them.
After the public comment
period and hearing are concluded, DEC staff will prepare a
responsiveness summary and forward the summary and proposed permits to the USEPA.
The USEPA will have an additional 45 day period for review. In accordance with 6
NYCRR Part 621.5(d)(9) and 2016.4(c), the Administrator of the 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. If
USEPA does not raise any objection, the DEC will issue the permits.
