ENB Region 7 Completed Applications 08/24/2005

The applicant proposes to correct an erosion problem in the Owasco Inlet by removing woody debris and an old abandoned railroad bridge, which has been causing the debris to pile up and erode a private landowner's property.  They also plan on filling and sloping this eroded area, which is approximately 100' x 75' x 20' (or 5,555 cubic yards with clean fill), on the west bank of the Inlet. Location: 434 State Route 38, Locke (T), Cayuga County.

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 Suburban Heating Oil Partners at their Cortland Modern Tank Service facility, located at 35 Franklin Street, Cortland, NY, 13045.  The company has requested an Air State Facility Permit that includes federally enforceable permit conditions which limit (cap) facility wide emissions below the applicability levels of 6 NYCRR Part 201-6 and 40CFR70, Title V permitting.

The Cortland MTS facility requalifies liquid petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders. Requalification of LPG cylinders involves purging any remaining product or residue, shot blasting the steel vessels, visual inspection, hydrostatic pressure testing, painting, and installing new valves on the  cylinders.  LPG tank purging and cleaning processes are controlled by a granulated carbon adsorption system.

The permit establishes facility-wide federally enforceable emission caps for volatile organic compounds (VOC) and hazardous air pollutants (HAP) to keep the facility below the following major source thresholds: (a) 50 tpy VOC; (b) 25 tpy aggregate 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.

Construct a single family residence, partially within the adjacent area of FWW CIC-17. The residence is proposed to be constructed on previously developed land (houses and barns) that was subsequently cleared and farmed since the early 1900's.

The USDA NRCS will be constructing a low-berm approximately 300 feet long by 3 feet high to enhance an existing wetland (JAM-11) between Route 11 and Commane Rd in the Town of LaFayette, as part of the Wetland Reserve Program.
