Project Description: The Department has
received an Air State Facility (ASF) permit application for new construction
from Saint-Gobain Abrasives, Inc., located at 2600 Tenth Ave., Watervliet, Albany County.
Saint-Gobain Abrasives presently manufactures coated abrasives and proposes to add a new
cloth finishing line and a new micro-abrasive line to their facility operations.
The applicant has
proposed to accept a cap on emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC)
which will restrict the potential to emit of the portion of the facility involved in the new
construction to a level which is less than the Part 231-2 (New Source Review in Non Attainment
Areas) significant emission rate. The significant emission rate is the difference between future
potential and prior actual emissions and is 40 tons per year for VOC. By accepting this state
and
federally enforceable limit, Saint-Gobain, Inc. will not be subject to this regulation.
The applicant has
agreed to permit conditions which will limit emissions of the above
contaminant to less than the above threshold. The permittee will be required to maintain records
and to report this data to verify compliance with permit conditions and limits.
Persons wishing to
inspect the subject ASF 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 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 web site at: http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/ohms/gudph1.htm.
The application 4-0126-00160/00143
is available for review at the Region 4 Office, 1150 North
Westcott Rd., Schenectady, NY 12306. The contact person is Thomas P. Haley, (518) 357-2069.
Comments will be received for 30 days from the date of this notice. If comments are received

modify the Draft ASF Permit.
