Project Description:
The Department has
determined that an Air State Facility (ASF) permit application from
Mohawk Paper Mills for the Cohoes Mill is complete. The facility owned by Mohawk Paper
Mills, Inc., is a non-integrated paper mill in which pulp is obtained from vendors. This ASF
Permit includes the previous issued permit which capped the facility out of Title V (Part 201-6)
by limiting boiler plant fuel consumption. Emissions were capped to less than the Title V
thresholds which are: 100 tons per year for sulfur dioxide (SO2), oxides of nitrogen (NOx),
carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter less than 10 microns (PM-10); 50 tons per year for
volatile organic compounds (VOC); 25 tons per year for total hazardous air pollutants (HAP) and
10 tons per year for each individual HAP. By accepting these state and federally enforceable
limits, the facility is not subject to the Title V regulations. The permittee is required to maintain
records and 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 wed site at: http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/ohms/gudph1.htm.
The application 4-0103-00015/00015
is available for review at the NYSDEC Region 4
Headquarters, 1130 North Westcott Road, Schenetady, NY. Please contact Michael Higgins at
(518) 357-2069. Comments will be received for 30 days from the date of this notice. If
comments are received which raise significant issues or provide additional relevant information,
the Department may modify the Draft ASF Permit.
The facility is located
at 465 Saratoga St., Cohoes, NY, in Albany County.
