ENB Region 1 Completed Applications 08/02/2006

            

    The Department has drafted a permit pursuant to Article 19 (Air Pollution Control) of the NYS Environmental Conservation Law and Title V of the Clean Air Act Amendments, and made a tentative decision to approve this permit for the Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant used to treat residential wastewater from a portion of Nassau County, New York.   Nassau County SD #2 Bay Park STP facility is a 70 million gallon per day sewage treatment plant which serves portions of Nassau County. The plant operates four 3,600 KW engine generators which can burn natural gas, digester gas, or fuel oil. The engines are used to provide the electric power for the processes and equipment such as aeration tank blowers and main sewage pumps. The plant also operates four 750 HP boilers to produce hot water required for the central chillers and space heating. The boilers can burn natural gas, digester gas, or fuel oil. Several emission points associated with the treatment of sewage are located at the facility. The corresponding processes include primary screening, grit removal, primary settling tanks, aeration tanks, final settling tanks, sludge thickening, and sludge dewatering. Most of the processes are controlled through an odor control system. The facility is not allowed to exceed 244 tons per year of NOx (Nitrogen Oxides) emissions, 184 tons per year of CO (Carbon Monoxide) emissions, and 69.5 tons per year of VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions. These emissions are calculated based on stack test data and monitoring of fuel and power usage.

    The application, draft permit, relevant supporting materials and regulations are available for review during normal business hours at the DEC Region 1 Office, Building 40, SUNY Stony Brook, NY.  Comments of support or objection may be made by filing a written statement by the deadline date indicated.  DEC may schedule a public hearing based upon an evaluation of the nature and scope of any written objections raised. Hearing notices will contain instructions on filing for part status and submitting comments.

Buffer areas will be maintained between the proposed development and the wetland.

The applicant proposes to construct a dwelling, garage, driveway and septic system on a property that contains a portion of regulated freshwater wetland #SO-36.   The proposed dwelling is within 55 feet of the wetland and the proposed garage is within 51 feet of the wetland.  A 50' foot non-disturbance buffer area is proposed to protect the wetland from further disturbance.    The project site is located at Ackerly Pond Lane, Town of Southold, Suffolk County, SCTM #1000-069-03-013.
