ENB Region 3 Completed Applications 02/02/2005

    The Department has prepared a Draft Permit pursuant to Article 19 (Air Pollution Control) of the NYS Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) and Title V of the Federal Clean Air Act Amendments and made a tentative determination to approve this state facility application.

    Package Pavement Co., located in Stormville, New York,  produces, packages and distributes cold mix asphalt products, hot mix asphalt products and ready mix concrete products to local and regional customers retail stores and commercial outlets.

    The primary activity at the site is the manufacture of packaged ready mix concrete products from the hot mix batch facility and cold mix batch facility.  These two units also produce hot and cold mixed asphalt products.  The hot mix and cold mix facilities are the primary sources of emissions at the site.  The packaging of ready mix products occurs within an enclosed building.  At each station in the process of packaging ready mix products, fugitive emissions are currently controlled by a 28,000 cfm dust collector which discharges to atmosphere.  A new 8,000 cfm dust collector with 99.9% control efficiency will be installed which will vent to atmosphere.  Particulate emissions for this dust collector have been calculated and included in this permit application, as unit Emission Unit 0PACK below

    Emission Units defined in this application are:

    1.  EU00HMP Hot mix batch facility

    2.  EU00CMP Cold mix batch facility

    3.  EU0PACK Packaging facility

    Although this facility does not, and has not historically, operated on a 24hour per day, 7days per week schedule, it is important to maintain flexibility in scheduling operation of the two emission units according to the ever shifting demands to the marketplace.

    In addition, both the hot mix and cold mix batch plants may be utilized to produce asphalt concrete production.

    The site's one emergency generator is a small (15kW) unit to provide lighting in the Main Office only when line power is unavailable due to an outage.  It's function is not to provide emergency power to production equipment.

    The facility has limited total facility Number 2 fuel oil usage to 3.5 million gallons per twelve month rolling period to cap Oxides of Nitrogen, Sulfur Dioxide, PM10, Carbon Monoxide and VOCs to below Title V Major Source Thresholds.  The sulfur content of the Number 2 fuel oil fired shall not exceed 0.2 percent by weight on an annual maximum rolled monthly average.

    The SIC Code for this facility is 2951 Asphalt Paving Mixtures and Blocks.

By acceptance of this permit, the permittee agrees that the permit is contingent upon strict compliance with the ECL, all applicable regulations, the General Conditions specified and any Special Conditions included as part of this 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.

    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 (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 Department’s permit hearing procedures is available upon request or on the Department web site at: http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/ohms/gudph1.htm.

       The Village of Kiryas Joel has applied for a Water Supply permit (WSA#10,611) to take an additional supply of water by the development of Well #27 in the Brenner wellfield.   The well would be pumped at a maximum rate of 125 gallons per minute (gpm) for use in the Village's existing water supply system.   Well #27 would be added to the five wells already approved for this wellfield and it would increase the approved water taking at this wellfield from the current maximum of 308,000 gallons per day (GPD) to a new maximum of 443,000 GPD.    As is the case with all the existing Brenner wells, this new well would be pumped for a monthly average of no more than 18 hours per day.

       The excavation of a trench to install a water line from the well to the pump house would disturb a portion of the adjacent area of Freshwater Wetland #MO-14 (Class II).    Well #27 is located in the Village's existing Brenner wellfield near Mountain Lakes, in the Town of Monroe, Orange County, NY.
