ENB Region 9 Completed Applications 05/04/2005

The Department has prepared a Draft Permit and has made a tentative determination to approve this application for an Air State Facility Permit. ADM Milling Co is a flour mill that receives grain by truck and stores it in bins prior to cleaning it and milling it into flour and by-product feed. 6NYCRR Part 201-3.2(c)(8) exempts from permitting all grain storage elevators with capacities less than one million bushels and associated operations. General fumigation of the facility is performed on a regular basis; the fumigation products contain methyl bromide, which is a Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP). Therefore, an Air State Facility permit is required. The Draft Permit contains an emission limit which caps the facility under the major source threshold for an individual HAP emission, which is 10 tons per year, as defined in 6NYCRR Part 201-2.1(b)(21). ADM is required by this permit to maintain records documenting the actual emissions of methyl bromide on a monthly basis and shall submit an annual emissions report to the Department to demonstrate compliance. The Draft Permit, with conditions, application, relevant supporting materials and regulations are available during normal business hours at the DEC office provided in this notice. Comments of support or objection may be made by filing a  written statement by the deadline date indicated.

The applicant proposes to construct and operate a manufacturing facility which would shred scrap vehicle tires and produce a number of products such as chips, crumb rubber and recyclable metal.The facility's proposed operating capacity is estimated at approximately 1,000 tires per hour. The rubber shred products would be for use as fuel, road substrate, and reuse in rubber manufacturing processes. The facility would be located in an existing building at 4870 Packard Road. The application and materials submitted in support of the application are available for review and comment at the regional office listed in this notice.

The Department has made a tentative determination to approve this application for modification of an existing SPDES Permit (NY-0003077) which adds outfall 004, a discharge into the NYS Barge Canal, removes flow limits for the existing discharge of quarry stormwater at outfall 001 from the permittee's settling pond into the canal, adds a schedule of compliance for a short term monitoring program for cadmium at outfall 004 and adds limits and monitoring requirements for pH at outfall 003.  The quarry is located on Hinman Road east of Route 270 and west of the NYS Barge Canal.  A draft permit and fact sheet is available for inspection at the NYS DEC Region 9 Office.
