ENB Region 5 Completed Applications 05/11/2005

The applicant proposes to expand their current 16-slip docking facility by one finger to accommodate four additional boats, for a total of 20 slips.  The expansion will include two concrete anchors (4'x4'x1') to be placed on the lake bed attached by chain to the docks.  The existing dock is 144'L. The total length of the new dock will be 177'L.  A warning buoy will be installed near the southern riparian line to protect a neighboring swim area.  The project is located on the western shore of Schroon Lake, off Skylark Lane in the Town of Schroon.  

The Department has prepared a Draft Permit and has made a tentative determination to approve this application for a State Facility Permit for the applicant's textile manufacturing and finishing mill.This permit establishes caps that limit emissions of Sulfur Dioxide, Nitrogen Oxides, Hazardous Air Pollutants(HAPs) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) to below major source levels. The facility currently operates under an existing Title V permit that allows higher emissions of Sulfur Dioxide and Nitrogen Oxides. Replacing the Title V permit with the State Facility Permit will lessen reporting requirements and lower regulatory fees for the applicant without substantially changing existing environmental conditions. The application, draft permit and supporting materials are available for review at the Warrensburg DEC office. Comments of support or objection may be made by filing a written statement prior to the comment deadline. DEC may schedule a public hearing based upon the nature and scope of any issues raised.
