    Persons wishing to inspect the subject files, including the application with all relevant supporting materials, the draft permit, and all other materials available to the DEC (the "permitting authority") that are relevant to this permitting decision should contact the DEC representative listed below.  It is recommended that an appointment be made to confirm the availability of the subject files.  The DEC will endeavor to make the files available within 2 business days of contact, during normal business hours (8:30 am through 4:45 pm), unless the requestor wishes to inspect the files at a later date.

    DEC will evaluate the application and the comments received on it to determine whether to hold a public hearing.  A public hearing may be legislative or adjudicatory.  A legislative public hearing is a proceeding which provides an additional opportunity for public comment.  DEC's determination to hold a legislative public hearing will be based on whether a significant degree of public interest exists.   If a legislative public hearing is to be held, a Notice of Hearing will be published which will include the time and place of the hearing and submitting comments.   The applicant and all persons who  have filed comments on the permit will be notified by mail of the public hearing.  Comments and requests for a legislative public hearing should be in writing and addressed to the Department representative listed below.

    An adjudicatory public hearing is a trial type proceeding which provides the opportunity for adjudication on the basis of evidence, including direct testimony and cross examination.  An adjudicatory hearing is held only if substantive and significant issues relating to any findings or determinations the Department is required to make pursuant to the Environmental Conservation Law exist.   A copy of the Department's permit hearing procedures is available upon request or on the Department web site at: http://www.dec.state.ny.us/website/ohms/gudph1.htm.

    The Department has drafted the Title IV and Title V permits, pursuant to Article 19 (Air Pollution Control)of the NYS Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) and made tentative determination to approve the applications that renew these permits for the applicant's Richard M. Flynn Power Plant facility, located at 607 Union Ave, Holtsville, NY.

    The facility consists of one Siemens turbine rated at 1146 MMBTU/hr when firing natural gas and 1291 MMBTU/hr when firing No. 2 fuel oil (back up fuel).  The gas turbine is equipped with an inlet air fogger.  A heat recovery steam generator uses the exhaust from the gas turbine to generate additional electricity.  The combined cycle (gas turbine and steam turbine) generates 150 MW of power for sale to LIPA.  The control equipment includes Dry Low NOx Combustor within the turbine in combination with water injection to reduce NOx emissions.  The Title V permit requires continuous emission monitoring of NOx and CO, wet and dry O2 emissions.
