Permit(s) Applied for: 

Article 19 Air Title V Facility 

Project is Located: 

Oswego, Oswego County 

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 purpose of this permit modification is to 

incorporate requirements based on site-specific analyses performed as specified in the terms of 6 

NYCRR Part 249 and 6 NYCRR Subpart 227-2. The terms of 6 NYCRR Part 249 require the 

implementation of Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) for emissions of sulfur dioxide, 

oxides of nitrogen, and fine particulate matter (PM-10) at subject facilities. The terms of 6 NYCRR 

Subpart 227-2 require the implementation of Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for 

emissions of oxides of nitrogen at subject facilities. The 6 NYCRR Part 249 and 6 NYCRR Subpart 

227-2 permit conditions, based on site-specific analyses, contained in this permit modification are 

New York State enforceable on the date of permit issuance. The permit conditions mentioned above 

will become federally enforceable on the date when the requirements contained in these permit 

conditions are noticed in the Federal Register as revisions to New York State's Implementation Plan. 

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. 

Persons wishing to inspect the subject Title V files, including the 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

web site at: http://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/32249.html. 

DEC will evaluate the application and the comments received on it to determine whether to hold a 

public hearing. Comments and requests for a public hearing should be in writing and addressed to the
