John L Henkes, PE NYSDEC, Environmental Engineer II Bureau of Stationary Sources (518)402-8403 (518)402-9035 fax jlhenkes@gw.dec.state.ny.us >>> "Gardella, Anthony" < Gardella.Anthony@epa.gov >1/17/2014 4:19 PM >>> John, Thanks for the response. After you read over my comments perhaps we need to speak on the phone before you respond formally – or you could send a “DRAFT” response for our review that I could review. This new clarifying information will be referred to in our proposed Federal Register notice and included in the electronic docket. I went through your submittal and have the following comments: General Comment In general, perhaps you could resend the entire response including the new information/clarifications I’m now requesting. Additionally perhaps you could include attachments to the back of the upfront response document. For example, you could include the new Emission Inventory as an appendix to the document with a cover page called Appendix B and a name “Emission Inventory – Supplementary to State Plan.” Appendix C to the document would also have a cover page called “Copy of Proposed and Adopted Regulations as Published in the NY State Register.” Appendix A would be the email you refer to in EPA question 2 – you could provide a cover page for this also. EPA Question 2 – NY response You refer to an attached e-mail but it’s not included in your response. Please include it in a new Appendix A as noted above. Also, in your response to question 2 please refer to the e-mail as being in Appendix A. Emission Inventory The new inventory you sent is for specific units instead of the facility (see EPA question 5). In this regard,

- The new emissions inventory is for units located at 7 facilities (Albany – south, Albany – north, Glen Falls, Saratoga, Oneida, Bird Island and Southtowns) but NY’s July 2013 State plan had emission inventories at 12 facilities. Can you now include the emission inventory for the units at the missing 5 facilities (Bergen Pt, Poughkeepsie, Little Falls, Watertown, and Tonawanda) even though some of these may be shut down.

- I believe Oneida has 3 units at the facility but your new inventory has 4 units (if I’m reading your data sheets correctly – perhaps I’m not as it’s sometimes difficult to determine from the data sheets). Can you correct.

- For Albany – South, is there any data for Unit 2?

- For the Bird Island facility which has 3 units the 5 data sheets (each for a different reporting year) do not indicate which units the data represents (again, if I’m reading the data sheets correctly). I understand there are 3 units at this facility.

...- Except for Bird Island, much of the emissions data is from the 1990s – is there any more recent emissions data? Thanks John, give me a call if you wish to discuss.
