ENB Region 3 Completed Applications 05/23/2001
Birmingham, AL 35205-
Project is Located: Middletown, Orange County
Project Description: DESCRIPTION of PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS: After review of the petitions submitted in August 2000 to the US Environmental Protection Agency (a.k.a. the EPA), the EPA Administrator issued a "Final Order" dated May 2, 2001, in which the US EPA upheld the July 25, 2000 Title V Air Quality permit issued by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). The DEC issued that permit to the Orange Recycling and Ethanol Production Facility (a.k.a. the Masada facility) to be located in the City of Middletown, Orange County, NY. As a result of the directive in the EPA's Final Order, the DEC has made a tentative determination to modify the issued permit to add the Special Conditions listed in paragraph "A" below, regarding NSPS (New Source Performance Standards) and to retain the current Special Conditions listed in paragraph "B" below, regarding the PTE (Potential To Emit), pending public comment on both. A). To modify the issued permit by adding Special Conditions #1-5.1, #1-5.2, #1-6.1 and #1-6.2 regarding the applicability of the NSPS (New Source Performance Standards) in Federal regulations 40 CFR 60 Subpart Db, for recordkeeping requirements. Summary of Item "A": This section of the Federal regulations requires the permittee to notify the DEC of; 1) initial startup of the air emissions portions of the facility, 2) the type of fuel and operating hours for each fuel, each day and, 3) to keep these records for at least 2 years. (Special Condition #18.1 of the issued permit already requires the permittee to keep all records for at least 5 years.) Two draft permit pages containing proposed Special Conditions #1-5.1 through #1-6.2 are available as described at the end of this Notice. B) To provide an opportunity for public comment on the monitoring, recordkeeping and operational requirements in Special Conditions #36 and #41 in the issued permit which cap (i.e., set a maximum limit) on the Masada facility's PTE (Potential To Emit) as described below. Summary of Item "B": The DEC included in its 1999 draft Title V Air Quality permit operational constraints to effectively limit this facility's PTE and prevent this source of air emissions from being a "major source" for PSD (Prevention of Significant Deterioration) and/or NSR (New Source Review) purposes. After the close of the public comment period in 1999, the DEC revised the PTE limits in the draft permit, with input from EPA and Masada. Those changes (described below) better defined the operational constraints and the method for verifying that the facility's emissions would stay within the cap, thus making these permit conditions more restrictive and protective of the environment. While the need to improve the PTE limits was identified in some public comments during the 1999 public comment period, the final Title V Air Quality permit of May 2000 instead included a different approach to limiting the Masada facility's PTE than the method in the draft permit as described below. While the EPA's Final Order determined that DEC's new approach to limiting the potential to emit is a valid and enforceable way to limit PTE, the EPA required the DEC to seek additional public comment to determine whether it is appropriate to apply these different PTE limits, as explained below, to this facility. The PTE limit in the 1999 draft permit expressed annual emissions limits for Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx ) in terms of a 12-month rolling average. These limits would have relied on short term emissions rates (e.g., estimated pounds per hour), combined with restrictions on the Masada facility's hours of operation (e.g., hours per year) to keep emissions below the cap. The DEC instead issued a permit that relies on real time data from the sampling of actual emissions by the two Continuous Emissions Monitors (CEMs) to be installed at the facility. Additionally, while the draft permit relied on a 12-month rolling average, the issued permit relies instead on a 365-day rolling total, resulting in a different reporting and recordkeeping regime, but effectively enabling more frequent compliance checks of Masada's PTE cap. Existing Special Condition #36 on Pages 21 to 27, and existing Special Condition #41 on Pages 28 to 35, which establish these PTE limits in the issued permit are available for public review as described at the end of this Notice.US EPA Review Authority: In accordance with 6 NYCRR Parts 621.5(d)(9) and 201-6.4(c), the Administrator of the US EPA has the authority to bar the issuance of any modification of this issued Title V Air Quality permit if it is determined not to meet applicable requirements of the Clean Air Act or 6 NYCRR Part 201.Scope of this Notice: After review of the petitions submitted in August 2000 to the US EPA, the EPA Administrator determined in the May 2, 2001 Final Order that, except for the two sets of permit conditions listed in this Notice, the EPA accepts all other permit conditions in the July 25, 2000 Title V Air quality permit issued by the DEC. Therefore, public comments are being sought and accepted on only the proposed modification of these two sets of permit conditions. Document Availability: The permit pages mentioned above and the May 2, 2001 Final Order by the US EPA Administrator are available for review during normal business hours at the DEC Region 3 office in New Paltz (please first call Mike Merriman at 845-256-3165 or 256-3054 to make an appointment) at 21 South Putt Corners Road, New Paltz NY 12561. In addition, copies of these documents are available for review during normal operating hours at the Middletown Thrall Library, in Middletown, NY.

SEQR Lead Agency: Middletown City Council State Historic Preservation Act (SHPA) Determination: Cultural resource lists and map have been checked. No registered, eligible or inventoried archaeological sites or historic structures were identified at the project location. No further review in accordance with SHPA is required.
