ENB Region 4 Completed Applications 01/29/2003

Delaware County
Applicant:	Norbord Industries Inc PO Box 26 Laurel Bank Ave Deposit, NY 13754 -0026
Facility:	Norbord Industries Laurel Bank Ave Deposit, NY 13754
Application ID:	4-1230-00019/00055
Permit(s) Applied for:	Article 19 Air Title V Facility
Project is Located:	Deposit, Delaware County
Project Description:
The Department has proposed a modification to the Title V permit for the Norbord Industries facility located on Laurel Bank Avenue, Town of Deposit, Delaware County, owned by Norbord Industries, Inc. of Deposit, NY. The facility produces medium density fiberboard used by the furniture industry as a core material. The facility includes boilers, presses, dryer, raw material handling sources and other miscellaneous sources. The modification is required for the removal of an existing baghouse and its associated emission point, and the installation of a new baghouse and its associated emission point. The baghouse involved in the modification is associated with wood fiber handling. The applicant has proposed restricting the potential to emit of particulates from the modification through enforceable permit conditions which will cap emissions at a level which is less than the applicability threshold for 40 CFR 52.21 Subpart A. In addition, the modification addresses changes in the structure and mandatory conditions of the Title V permit for the facility. 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 permit hearing procedures is available upon request or on the Department web site at: www.dec.state.ny.us/website/ohms/gudph1.htm. The modification is available for review at the Region 4 Office. Contact person is John Feltman, NYS DEC, NYS Route 10, Stamford, NY 12167, telephone (607) 652-7741. 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 modified Title V Facility Permit. 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.
