ENB Region 1 Completed Applications 06/28/2006

The applicant proposes to install two 12"  diameter public supply wells with the capacity to pump 200 gpm each .  The wells will be approximately 160 feet deep and will be located on an easement north of the West Prospect St. well field, Tuckahoe, Southampton.

The applicant proposes to install an irrigation well with a capacity of 500 gallons per minute for the purpose of crop production.  The well is proposed to be 10 inches in diameter and to have a depth of 120 feet.  The proposed project is located on the east side of Pennys Road,  south of Sound Shore Rd., north of Sound Ave. (Rt. 48), in Riverhead, SCTM # 600-19-1-12.

The Department has prepared a Draft Permit and has made a tentative determination to approve this application for an Air State Facility permit pursuant to Article 19 (Air Pollution Control) of the Environmental Conservation Law (ECL).  The facility operates internal an combustion engine fueled by landfill gases to generate electricity.  The facility's potential to emit (PTE) oxides of nitrogen (NOx) exceeds the major facility threshold of 25 tons per year (tpy).  The proposed State Facility Permit caps NOx emissions at the facility to less than 22.5 tpy. The facility has agreed to accept permit conditions that will limit facility wide emissions of oxides of nitrogen at 22.5 tons per year.  The decrease in emissions is due directly to the decrease in landfill gases generated by the landfill.  By accepting these state and federally enforceable limits the facility will not be subject to the provisions of the Title V operating permit program.  The application and the draft permit are available for review at the Region 1 office in Stony Brook.  The facility is located at the Smithtown landfill Gas Recovery Facility on Old Northport and Commack Road, in the Hamlet of Kings Park, Smithtown, Suffolk County.

The applicant proposes a discharge of 7,250 gallons per day of sanitary wastewater and 1 gallon per day of boiler blow down wastewater to groundwater from the applicant’s facility located at 49 Mall Drive, Commack.   The applicant plans to operate a non-manufacturing pharmaceutical development center.

The Department has made a tentative determination to issue a permit for a State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit under Article 17 of the Environmental Conservation Law.  This tentative determination indicates that the discharge regulated under this statute is considered to satisfy regulatory standards for permit issuance, based on information available to the Department at this time.  As a tentative determination, the Department seeks comments on the proposed regulated activity prior to making a final decision on permit issuance.  As such, this tentative determination does not signify department approval for, or endorsement of, the activity for which a permit is sought or for the overall proposed project.

Refer to this application by application number listed above and SPDES number, NY0195987.
