ENB Region 7 Completed Applications 07/20/2005

The Department has prepared a draft permit pursuant to Article 19 (Air Pollution Control) of the NYS Environmental Conservation Law and made a tentative decision to approve an application for an Air State Facility Permit for George Industries, Inc., located at 1 South Page Ave, Endicott, NY 13760.  George Industries is a metal machining, forming, assembling and coating facility that manufactures and finishes products for the aerospace, telecommunication and other industries.  The purpose of the draft permit is to replace existing Certificates to Operate with an updated Air State Facility Permit, and include federally enforceable permit conditions which limit (cap) facility wide emissions below the applicability thresholds of 6 NYCRR Part 201-6 and 40CFR70 (Title V permitting), 6 NYCRR Part 228, and 40 CFR 63, Subpart GG.

The permit establishes facility-wide federally enforceable emission caps for volatile organic compounds and hazardous air pollutants to keep the facility below the following major source thresholds: (a) 50 tpy Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC); (b) 25 tpy aggregate Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP); (c) 10 tpy individual HAP.  The permittee is required to maintain records and monitor facility emissions to verify compliance with permit conditions and limits, and to submit an annual capping certification report in accordance with 6 NYCRR Part 201-7.

The application, draft permit, relevant supporting materials and regulations are available for review 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. DEC may schedule a public hearing based upon an evaluation of the nature and scope of any written objections raised. Hearing notices will contain instructions on filing for party status and submitting comments.

This is a ratification for a water supply permit for existing Sennett Water District No. 6 and an extension into an area that is already being served, but will also includes new areas.  The applicant proposes the installation/upgrade of a complete water supply and distribution system to serve the District (to be known as Sennett Water District No.6), and take a supply of water with an estimated average of 280,000 gallons per day for use in this system by a connection, including looping of the two districts, to Sennett WD No.2, via the City of Auburn water supply.

The applicant proposes to extend the existing water supply and distribution mains of the Sennett Water District No.2 into its First Extension and to take a supply of water for use in this extension with an estimated average totaling 70,000 gallons per day (this amount includes both WD2 and this extension) from existing sources. This application is a ratification of the permit, for this extension, since there has been service to the extension for the past few years.
