The Department has prepared a Draft Permit and has made a tentative determination to approve this application for an Air State Facility permit.  The permit allows the operation of three boilers: two 20 MMBTU/hr fired by natural gas or #2 fuel oil and one 22.8 MMBTU/hr standby boiler fired by #2 fuel oil.  The facility agrees to limit emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) to avoid regulation under Title V.  To comply with the requirements of 6 NYCRR Part 227.2.4(f), the facility has shut down its electrical cogeneration unit which was driven  by an internal combustion engine.  The resulting reduction in emissions qualified the facility for an Air State Facility Permit.  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.
