The Department has made
a tentative determination to approve the renewal of the Part
373 hazardous waste management facility permit for Norlite Corporation of Cohoes,
Albany County, New York. A draft permit has been prepared. Norlite Corporation
(Norlite), located at 628 South Saratoga Street (State Route 32) in Cohoes, New
York, operates two rotary kilns to manufacture light weight aggregate from shale.
In these kilns, Norlite burns hazardous wastes/low grade fuel and waste oil for
energy. Norlite accepts hazardous wastes and waste oil from off-site generators.
Apart from these two kilns, Norlite also operates fifteen storage tanks to store
and blend hazardous wastes, and a container storage area to store hazardous
wastes prior to burning them in the kilns. Norlite has a hazardous waste permit
(Part 373 permit) issued in June 1992 by the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) (“Department”) for a term of five years.
Prior to issuance of this permit , Norlite conducted a
trial burn on these kilns
under the permitted operating conditions and completed an acceptable multi-pathway human health risk
assessment based on this trial burn emissions.
Before this permit expired in June 1997, Norlite submitted a Part 373 permit
renewal application and thus, this 1996 permit has been extended under the
State administrative Procedure Act (SAPA) until a final determination is made by
the Department either to renew or deny the permit.

In addition to the Draft Permit, DEC has prepared a Fact Sheet which includes a more detailed description of the hazardous waste management activities at Norlite and descriptions of measures included in the Corrective Action Program for Norlite for the investigation and remediation of releases of hazardous waste or constituents to the environment from solid waste management units.
