The Department has prepared a draft permit for the discharge of separated siphon water from oil production wells on property south of Route 417 near its intersection with Wolf Spring Road.

The Department has prepared a draft permit (NY0269417) and made a tentative determination to approve the discharge of 1,300 gallons per day of treated sanitary waste water to tributary 26 of Buffalo Creek which has a classification of D and a standard of D.  A copy of the application and the draft permit are available for review and comment at the regional office during normal business hours.

This Department has made an initial determination to approve the requested Air State Facility permit modification for the use of waste oil as an alternate fuel at the 7-ton batch asphalt plant (Tower 4).  By accepting enforceable permit conditions limiting production from the batch mix asphalt plant and the "Gencor" drum mix plant to 360,000 tons for each plant during any consecutive 12-month period, Lafarge will be able to limit facility-wide potential emissions to less than the major source applicability thresholds for nitrogen oxides (NO_x), carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOC), and sulfur dioxide (SO₂).  By accepting this federally enforceable limit, the facility will not be subject to the major source requirements of 6NYCRR, Part 212.10 - Reasonably Available Control Technology Requirements for Major Sources of VOC and NO_x ; 6NYCRR, Part 231-2 - Non-Attainment Area New Source Review, and the Title V permitting requirements of 6NYCRR, Part 201-6.
