ENB Region 1 Completed Applications 07/26/2006

The applicant proposes to install an irrigation well for the purpose of irrigating lawn turf. The irrigation well will be drilled to a depth of of 250 feet and have a capacity of 50 gallons per minute.  The site is located at Tatem Way, Old Westbury, Town of Oyster Bay.

The applicant proposes to construct three (3) 12" diameter wells each approximately 135 feet deep and rated at 350 gallons per minute.  The wells will be part of the Southampton low water supply system which serves most of the South Fork extending from Shinnecock Hills to Amagansett.  The site is located at the Blank Lane well field, Deerfield, Town of Southampton.

KeySpan proposes to raise the current emission cap, which is an annual limit based on a daily rolling average, on emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) at their Port Jefferson Energy Center.  KeySpan proposes to increase the current emissions cap on CO from 90 tons per year (TPY) to 99.9 TPY, in accordance with the regulations.  

    This proposed increase is requested to allow the Port Jefferson facility to continue to operate, since KeySpan is projecting that the facility will reach its current annual cap (rolled daily) by the end of August.  Therefore, KeySpan is proposing the cap increase in lieu of shutting down these units and operating higher emitting sources in the KeySpan electric generating system.  The increase in the cap is not significant, and does not "trigger" new source review.  However, KeySpan will voluntarily reduce its current NOx cap on Boilers 3 and 4 at the Port Jefferson Power Station facility from 2199 TPY down to 2178.7 TPY.
