Permit(s) Applied for: 

Article 19 Air State Facility 

Project is Located: 

Jamestown, Chautauqua County 

Project Description: 

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

Air State Facility permit to supplement the applicant's current Title V permit, initially issued on 

April 13, 2007. The Samuel A. Carlson Generating Station is a municipal electric power 

generation plant. This permit includes shutting down boiler 11 on January 1, 2012, shutting 

down boiler 12 by January 1, 2014, updating emission unit and process descriptions for the 

shutdowns, and modifies particulate and Compliance Assurance Monitoring (CAM) permit 

conditions that apply to these two boilers. The Title V permit requirements for the other emission 

sources that are not affected by this permit remain in full force and effect. The conditions in this 

permit will be incorporated into the Title V permit within one year. 

Boiler 12 is subject to the Best Available Retrofit Technology rule (BART), 6 NYCRR Part 249. 

The facility has decided to permanently shut down boiler 12 on or before January 1, 2014 in 

order to be exempted from the BART requirements for that unit. Accordingly, by shutting down 

boiler 12 by January 1, 2014, the facility will not need to install BART or meet the NOx

Reasonably Available Control Requirements, 6 NYCRR Part 227-2, which become effective on 

July 1, 2014. Pursuant to 6 NYCRR Part 249, each BART determination, such as the BART 

determination set forth in this Notice, will be submitted to the USEPA for approval as a revision 
to the State Implementation Plan. 

Boiler 11 is formally being shutdown on January 1, 2012 with this permit because it will not be 

used again.
