ENB Region 7 Completed Applications 11/08/2006

The applicant operates a rendering facility on Webb Road, Town of Binghamton, Broome County.  Although American Rendering is an existing facility that has historically been authorized by permit to landspread wastes generated at the facility (waste waters and bio-solids), regulatory changes have necessitated that American Rendering seek new authorizations for these activities.  Due to the regulatory changes, American Rendering is required to obtain two new permits:  a solid waste permit for the landspreading of the bio-solids (issued on May 7, 2005) and a State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) permit for the landspreading of the waste waters.  This notice is an indication that the Department has determined that the application materials associated with the landspreading of approximately 1.2 million gallons of treated effluent, no more than 30,000 gallons per day, on two fields consisting of 18 and 8 acres respectively is complete, and is available for public review and comment.   Under the proposal, landspreading of the effluent would be authorized from April 1 through October 31.  The Department has made a tentative determination to approve this application.
