CPN Bethpage 3rd Turbine, Inc. (November 2001)
APPLICANT: CPN Bethpage 3rd Turbine, Inc., The Pilot House, 2nd Floor, Lewis Wharf, Boston, MA 02110
APPLICATION No. 1-2824-2157/00001
PROJECT LOCATION: Bethpage Generating Facility, 939 South Broadway, Hicksville, New York 11801-5032
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: CPN Bethpage 3rd Turbine, Inc. ("CPN Bethpage") proposes to construct and operate a new gas turbine facility, the Bethpage Combustion Turbine Project. The new facility will be constructed immediately adjacent to the existing TBG Cogen Partners' cogeneration facility. The proposed Bethpage Combustion Turbine Project will consist of a new General Electric (GE) LM6000 Sprint simple cycle combustion turbine. The new combustion turbine generator will have a nominal electrical power output of less than 50 MW. The TBG Cogen Partners' cogeneration facility is an existing major source; the proposed Project will be considered a minor modification to this source as maximum emissions of all criteria pollutants will be below Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) significant increase thresholds and Non-Attainment New Source Review (NNSR) significant net increase thresholds.
The combustion turbine will fire natural gas and the unit will operate in simple cycle mode (no heat recovery) to provide electric generation particularly during periods of high demand. The turbine will utilize water injection and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to control nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions and an oxidation catalyst to control the emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) and volatile organic compounds (VOC). Upon leaving the turbine, the exhaust will be directed into a 100-foot stack.
AIR: CPN Bethpage has applied for an air pollution control permit pursuant to Article 19 of the Environmental Conservation Law ("ECL") and Part 201 of Title 6 of the New York Compilation of Codes, Rules and Regulations ("6NYCRR"). A Title IV Acid Rain permit has also been applied for by the applicant. DEC has tentatively determined that the application meets all air pollution control requirements of Article 19 and Part 201.
SEQRA STATUS: Pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act ("SEQRA", ECL Article 8 and 6 NYCRR Part 617), Long Island Power Authority (LIPA), which served as lead agency, has determined that the project will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts. The project is a Type I action under SEQRA. LIPA issued a Negative Declaration on November 13, 2001.
PUBLIC HEARING: A legislative hearing for the receipt of public comments on the application will be held, beginning at 7:00 p.m. on December 6, 2001, at the following location:
