ENB Region 2 Completed Applications 06/18/2003

The Department has prepared a draft permit and has made a tentative determination to approve this application. The existing facility operates one internal combustion engine with a capacity of 2,370 KW with a selective catalytic reduction unit as emission control which burns natural gas and #2 fuel oil, and three identical boilers with heat input of 29.3 mmBTU/hr each firing natural gas and #2 fuel oil. The facility proposes to cap their NOx emissions to below 25 tons per year and is subject to the provisions of 6 NYCRR Part 201-7.2. 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 two 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. A public hearing under 6 NYCRR 621.7(c) may be held if a significant degree of public interest exists.

The applicant proposes to construct a two-family two-story house including drywell and parking pad within the adjacent area of NYSDEC regulated Class II Freshwater Wetland AR-28 (Annadale Center). A mix of highbush blueberry, chokeberry and arrowwood plantings will be established between the development and the wetland. The project site is located on North Railroad Street, Burchard Court and Belfield Avenue, Staten Island, Block 6274 - Lot 1.  

The applicant proposes to construct a one-family house including drywells, deck and swimming pool within the adjacent area of NYSDEC regulated Class II Freshwater Wetland AR-34 (Lemon Creek B C). Storm water from rear paved, rear grass and rear and right roof areas will be discharged to the wetlands. A 10 foot wide by 100 foot long planted buffer strip is proposed to be established between the wetland and the development. The project site is located on Johanna Lane, Staten Island, Block 6712 - Lot 205.  

The applicant proposes to construct a medical facility including a second floor apartment within the adjacent area of NYSDEC regulated Class I Freshwater Wetland AR-33 (Lemon Creek - A).
