Application ID:
4-0122-00004/00039
Permit(s) Applied for: Article 19 Air Title V Facility
Project is Located: Bethlehem, Albany County
Project Description: The Department has prepared a draft permit pursuan t to Article 19 (Air Pollution Control) of the New York State Environmental Conservation Law and Title V of the federal Clean Air Act and has made a tentative determination to issue a modification of the Title V permit for the OwensCorning Insulating Systems (OCIS) Delmar Plan t located at 1277 Feura Bush Road, Feura Bush, NY (Albany County). The facility manufactures w ool fiberglass insulation products and includes two glass furnaces and associated production lines (DM1 and DM2) controlled by electrostatic precipitators and other air pollution control equipment. The current permit has been modified to include conditions that establish emission limits (caps) so that the facility may avoi d applicability of Best Avai lable Retrofit Technology (BART) requirements under 6 NYCRR Part 249. By incorpor ating these emissions caps, the combined potential emissions from all BART-eligible units ar e restricted to less than 250 tons per year of each visibility impairing pollu tant; i.e., nitrogen oxides (NO x ), sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), and particulate matter less than 10 microns in diamet er (PM-10). As a result , the facility is not subject to BART under Part 249. These emissi on caps apply to emission units U-00002, U00003, U-00012, U-00013, and U-00014 which pertain to the glass furnaces and associated forming, curing, smoke stripper, and cooling sec tions of the two wool fiberglass insulation manufacturing lines. Additionally, the permit has been modified to incorporate conditions in order for the facility to comply with the NO x Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT)requirements for glass plants under 6 NYCRR Su bpart 220-2. The existing furnace oxy-fuel firing control technology is already considered to be NO x RACT for each of the glass melting furnaces at the facility. However, Subpart 220-2 also requires each glass furn ace at the facility to meet a facility specific NO x emission limit in pounds of NO x per ton of glass pulled and requires the installation of a continuous emissions monito ring system (CEMS) to demonstrate compliance with such emission limit. This permit modification sets forth the NO x emission limit and CEMS requirements for the glass furnaces. Furthermore, the permit has been modified to remove existing conditions pertaining to 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart NNN which is the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHA P) for Wool Fiberglass Manufacturing. The most recent renewal and modification to the Title V permit on November 5, 2010 allowed the facility to convert its operati ons from a phenol-formaldehyde based binder to a non-phenol, nonformaldehyde starch-based binder system. With th e completion of this binder system conversion in February 2011 for DM1 and in September 2011 for DM2, the facility no longer uses phenol and formaldehyde binders. Therefore, consistent with a determination by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) that th e facility would no longer meet the definition of an affected facility unde r Subpart NNN upon completion of the starch-based binder system conversion, the facility is no longer subject to the Subpart NNN NESHAP requirements. Other minor changes have been made to the pe rmit for clarity and consistency purposes.

In accordance with 6NYCRR Part s 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 incompliance with applicable requirements of the Clean Air Act or 6NYCRR Part 201. Persons wishing to inspect the s ubject Title V files, including th e application with all relevant supporting materials, the draft permit, and all other materials available to the DEC (the "permitting authority") that are relevant to this permitting decision should contact the DEC representative listed below.
