Permit(s) Applied for: 

Article 19 Air Title V Facility 

Project is Located: 

Ticonderoga, Essex County 

Project Description: 

The Department (DEC) has prepared a draft permit and has made a tentative determination to 

approve the application that renews the existing Air Title V Facility permit for the International 

Paper Ticonderoga pulp and paper mill. The facility is a major source of emissions of sulfur 

dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulates, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hazardous air 

pollutants (HAPs), carbon monoxide and greenhouse gases. The renewal requires the submission 

of an updated Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) analysis which may impose 

additional emission controls. If additional controls are required, they will be addressed in a future 

permit modification. The renewal also makes the facility subject to requirements identified in a 

Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) determination submitted under 6NYCRR Part 249. 

As required under Part 249, each BART determination such as the onediscussed in this Notice, 

will also be submitted to the USEPA for approval as a revision to the SIP. 

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 below. The Draft Permit and Permit Review Report may be viewed and 

printed from DEC's 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 DEC representative listed below. A copy of the DEC's permit hearing procedures is 

available upon request or on the DEC web site at: http://www.dec.ny.gov/permits/6234.html.
