Project Description: 

The Department has prepared a draft permit and has made a tentative determination to approve 

the application to modify the current Title V permit. The Title V permit modification 

incorporates the requirements of Part 249, Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) into the 

Title V air permit for the Syracuse Energy Corporation facility. The facility is a coal fired 80 

MW cogeneration power plant located in the Town of Geddes, Onondaga County, NY. The 

facility's coal fired boiler Unit 1 is subject to these requirements, and the facility has elected to 

shut down Unit 1 no later than January 1, 2014 in order to comply with Part 249. 

In accordance with 6NYCRR Parts 621.7(b)(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.

supporting materials, the draft permit, and all other materials available to the DEC (the
