The Department has made a tentative determination to approve an application for an existing facility currently permitted as a Title V facility. The applicant has applied for an Air State Facility permit for their manufacturing and asphalt recycling facility. In order to avoid Title V applicability and NOX-RACT controls required under Part 227-2, the owner has applied for a cap on its asphalt production and on the annual use of diesel oil. 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.

The applicant proposes to demolish one of two existing one-family houses and expand the remaining house. The proposed work includes construction of a driveway, walkway and garden wall. Stormwater from the project site will be discharged to the New York City Department of Environmental Protection's Bluebelt system. The project site is located within the adjacent area of NYSDEC regulated Class I Frehwater Wetland AR-3 (Richmond Creek), 245 - 247 Nugent Street, Staten Island, Block 2272 - Lot 50.
