Article 19 Air Title V Facility |
| Project is Located: | Thompson, Sullivan County |
| Project Description: | |
|
The
Department has prepared a Draft Permit pursuant to Article 19 (Air Pollution
Control) of the NYS Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) and Title V of the Federal
Clean Air Act Amendments and made a tentative determination to approve this Title V
Permit Renewal 1 for the Applicant’s facility located in the Village of Monticello,
Sullivan County.
The subject of this Title
V permit Renewal 1 relates to the reauthorization of the existing
permitted Sullivan County Landfill operations through Phase I cells 1 - 6. The landfill
is
currently permitted to operate a Solid Waste Management Facility under 6 NYCRR Part
360 (Permit No. 3-4846-00079/00002-0 SWMF 53503). The Phase II expansion is a
separate preceding which will require modification to this renewal permit 1.
The
Sullivan County Landfill is a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill facility located
on 260 acres of County-owned land situated in the Village of Monticello, New York.
The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) for this facility is 4953 - Refuse Systems.
The
Facility consists of a closed and capped area, an active area cells 1 through 5 and a
cell 6 expansion area. The closed and capped areas were active between 1963 and 1994.
Total design volume for this portion of landfill included approximately 2 million cubic
yards. Cells 1 through 5 began receiving waste in 1994 and have a design capacity of
approximately 3.166 million cubic yards. Cells 1 through 3 are at or near design capacity.
Cells 4 and 5 have been constructed and are currently receiving waste. Construction of
the planned cell 6 expansion is pending with a design capacity of 375,000 cubic yards.
Cell 6 is expected to operate from 2006 through 2008.
The
Facility has commenced construction, reconstruction or modification or began
accepting waste on or after may 30, 1991 and is subject to Federal New Source
Performance Standard 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart WWW-Standards of Performance for
Municipal Solid Waste Landfills as well as 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart AAAA - National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air pollutants for Source Categories. The facilities
design capacity is greater than 2.5 million cubic meters is a major source for sulfur
dioxide emissions and is therefore subject to Title V Air Facility permitting.
The
gas collection system installation and operation is subject to the monitoring,
recordkeeping and specification requirements of 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart WWW. This
includes monthly wellhead parameter monitoring and quarterly methane surface
monitoring. Collected landfill gas from the landfill complex is conveyed to the existing
1,200 cfm and 2,000 cfm landfill flares.
The
facility has been identified as a major source of sulfur dioxide emissions. Facility
emissions are estimated as follows: Oxides of nitrogen less than 100 tons per year, sulfur
dioxide between 150 and 200 tons per year, carbon monoxide less than 100 tons per year,
particulate less than 100 tons per year, volatile organic compounds (excluding methane)
less than 50 tons per year and hazardous air pollutants less than 25 tons per year. New
Source Review (NSR) and Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) does not apply
to this facility.
The
facility air permit contains two specific emission units including 1-LFGAS and 2-LEACH.
1-LFGAS
defines the closed and active landfill contributing to the generation of
landfill gas and the apparatus necessary to collect and combust (flare) the landfill gas.
2-LEACH
consists of four 395,000 gallon aboveground storage tanks for the storage of
leachate and a leachate pretreatment facility.
By
acceptance of this permit, the permittee agrees that the permit is contingent upon
strict compliance with the ECL, all applicable regulations, the General Conditions
specified and any Special Conditions included as part of this permit.
In
accordance with 6NYCRR Parts 621.5(d)(9) and 201-6.4(c), the Administrator of
the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has the authority to bar
issuance of any Title V Facility Permit if it is determined not to be in compliance with
applicable requirements of the Clean Air Act or 6NYCRR Part 201.
Persons
wishing to inspect the subject Title V 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

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:
