    The Department has prepared a Draft Permit pursuant to Article 19 (Air Pollution Control) of the NYS Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) and Title V of the Federal Clean Air Act Amendments and made a tentative determination to approve this application for the Applicant’s facility.

    Genpak Corporation is a manufacturer of foamed polystyrene food trays and containers located in the City of Middletown, Orange County, New York.  Polystyrene pellets are extruded where a nuclient and a blowing agent (isopentane) are added to produce an expanded polystyrene foam sheet. The expanded polystyrene foam sheet is thermoformed and cut to produce the final product.  The Standard Industrial Classification for this facility is 3086 - Plastic Foam Products.  Air emission sources include various storage silos, two repellitizers, five extruders, thermoformers, and a printer.

    The facility's potential to emit volatile organic compounds exceed the major source pollutant thresholds listed in 6 NYCRR Part 201.  Therefore, the facility is subject to the provisions of Title V permitting.   Applicable regulations include 6 NYCRR Parts 200, 201, 211, and 212, and 40 CFR 64.  A thermal oxidizer is utilized to comply with Part 212.10 reasonably availabe control technology requirements.  The facility has obtained emission reduction credits under Part 231.

    By acceptance of this permit, the permittee agrees that the permit is contingent upon strict compliance with the ECL, all applicable regulations, the General Conditions specified and any Special Conditions included as part of this permit.

    In accordance with 6NYCRR Parts 621.5(d)(9) and 201-6.4(c), the Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)  has the authority to bar issuance of any Title V Facility Permit if it is determined not to be in compliance with applicable requirements of the Clean Air Act or  6NYCRR Part 201.

The Ramapo Expansion Project would replace 4.9 miles of existing 26 inch diameter natural gas pipeline with 42 inch pipeline.  The replacement would occur between the Algonquin Gas Transmission (Algonquin) interconnection with Columbia Gas in Ramapo and the Algonquin Stony Point Compressor Station, Town of Stony Point.  Generally, construction will use the existing 75 foot right-of-way, along with 25 feet of additional temporary ROW.  Construction will involve a realignment of about 200 feet of the Mahwah River, and  will affect about 5.5 acres of wetlands, including about 0.9 acres of a DEC regulated wetland.

The project is a component facility of what the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has collectively labeled the Northeast (NE)-07 Project.  The Ramapo Expansion Project would receive gas from the new Millennium Pipeline Project, another NE-07 component facility.  

FERC approved the NE-07 Project, including the Ramapo Expansion Project, on December 21, 2006.  DEC's jurisdiction is limited to water quality certification pursuant to section 401 of the Clean Water Act.

The applicant proposes to mine approximately 240,000 tons of sand and gravel from 16 acres of an approximately 40 acre site over the course of ten years, with approximately 8.4 acres to be mined in the first 5 years and the remaining 7.2 acres in the second 5 year period.  The site was until recently operating as a poultry farm, with the majority of the site occupied by fields for feed corn. The current slopes limit use of the equipment on the fields. The proposed reclamation objective for the site is a return to agricultural land with more even slopes. No excavation below the water table is proposed.  Material processing on site will be limited to the use of a portable screening plant with an expected production of approximately 300 tons per day.

Only two boilers will be operational with the third on stand-by. Each boiler is equipped with an individual stack. The facility's potential to emit (PTE) oxides of nitrogen (NOx) exceeds the major source threshold of 25 tons per year(typ). As a result, this permit is to obtain a state facility permit to cap NOx emissions limit to less than 22.5 tpy.
