6/11/2001. The permitted facility is located at 4255 Research Parkway, Clarence, Erie
County, NY 14031. The facility receives, stores, and treats ignitable, reactive, corrosive
and other characteristic hazardous wastes in bulk, some P and U code listed wastes in
laboratory packings and containerized reactive gases in pressurized cylinders. Bulk
wastes consist of waste lithium batteries, waste electrolytes, and reactive and ignitable
elements such as sodium, potassium and phosphorous. Treatment consists of either
incineration or neutralization by hyrolysis. Packaged waste laboratory chemicals are
treated when possible or are otherwise consolidated and stored on-site prior to ultimate
shipment to other treatment/disposal facilities. The storage of hazardous wastes at the
facility is in containers and the treatment is either in a hydrolysis tank system or an
incinerator. No disposal of hazardous wastes takes place at the site. Clean Harbors is
expected to form a new company for this facility, Clean Harbors BDT, LLC.

Project Description: The Department has prepared
a draft permit and fact sheet and made a tentative
determination to modify the current SPDES Permit, # NY- 0032093, for the treated
discharge of municipal wastewater from the Village of Gowanda Wastewater Treatment
Facility, located at Aldrich Street, Gowanda, NY. This tentative determination indicates
that the discharge regulated under this statute is considered to satisfy regulatory standards
for permit issuance, based on information available to the Department at this time. As a
tentative determination, the Department seeks comments on the proposed regulated
activity prior to making a final decision on permit issuance The draft permit was
developed in accordance with the Department’s Environmental Benefit Permit Strategy
(EBPS) and uses information supplied by the Village. The EBPS score for this
modification is 80 points.
The proposed modification
includes updated monitoring requirements per the
Department’s Technical & Operational Guidance Series (TOGS 1.3.3.), which includes
short term monitoring of the outfall for five new parameters of concern and reporting. A
pretreatment mini schedule providing for a Fast Report On Significant Industries (FROSI)
is included as well as a discharge notification act maintenance requirement. The plant
provides secondary treatment via Two Stage Plastic Media Bio-towers, chemical
precipitation removal of phosphorus and chlorination for a design flow of 2.203 MGD
and discharges to Cattaraugus Creek, a class C(T) stream.
The draft permit, fact sheet,
application, and applicable regulations are available for
inspection at the NYSDEC Region 9 Office. Comments in support of or in opposition to
the proposed permit may be made by filing a written statement by the deadline date

Article 19 Air Title V Facility |
|
| Project is Located: | Tonawanda, Erie County | |
|
Project Description: The
Department has drafted a permit pursuant to Article 19 ( Air Pollution Control) of
the NYS Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) and Title V of the Federal Clean Air
Act Amendments, and has made a tentative determination to approve this application for
modification of the existing facility-wide Air Title V permit for the GM Powertrain
Facility located on River Road in Tonawanda. The proposal is to install two, 530 HP,
natural gas fired Waukesha engines to pump river water for cooling to the facility.
Currently electric motors are used to perform this task. Catalytic converters to control
emissions of Nitrogen Oxides will be used in order to stay below the applicability
thresholds of 6 NYCRR part 231-2. Both engines will be equipped with a three way
Mirateck converter that will reduce emissions of Nitrogen Oxide, Carbon monoxide and
Volatile Organic Compounds.
In
accordance with 6NYCRR Parts 621.5(d)(9) 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
applicable requirements of the Clean Air Act or 6NYCRR Part 201.
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 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:
http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/ohms/gudph1.htm.
