APPLICANT:International Paper Company (Ticonderoga Mill)
586 Shore Airport Road
APPLICATION No.5-1548-00008/00081
PROJECT LOCATION: 586 Shore Airport Road
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, International Paper Company (IP) has applied for a modification of its Air Pollution Control Title V Permit to conduct a two week trial burn to evaluate the use of tire derived fuel as an alternate fuel source for the mill's power boiler. The Department has prepared a Draft Permit and has made a tentative determination to approve this application for modification. This modification would authorize a two week trial and testing period during which tire-derived fuel (TDF) will be combusted in the power boiler along with number 6 fuel oil and bark/wood. The TDF loading will not exceed 3 tons per hour and the total heat input to the boiler will not exceed 748 MMBtu per hour. TDF will be added to bark/wood in the wood yard and be conveyed with the bark/wood to the boiler. During the first week, TDF will be added in gradually increasing amounts while the boiler operators adjust the boiler to achieve optimum combustion conditions. Particulate Matter emissions will be measured (using USEPA Method 5) when the TDF feed rate reaches 1 ton per hour, then again at 2 tons per hour and again at 3 tons per hour to ensure compliance with the permit limit during this period. During the second week, extensive stack testing will be performed to characterize emissions.
Whenever TDF is being burned, facility personnel will monitor the SO2 emission rate and NOX emission rate utilizing the mill's continuous emissions monitoring systems. Stack opacity will be monitored by certified personnel during daylight hours. If any of these indicators exceed permit limits, the facility will stop adding TDF until the conditions have stabilized and are in compliance. In accordance with 6NYCRR Parts 621.5(d)(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. PERMITS: IP has applied for a modification of its existing Title V Air Permit pursuant to Environmental Conservation Law Article 19 (Air Pollution Control) and 6 NYCRR Part 201 (Permits and Registrations).
SEQR STATUS: Pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR, ECL Article 8 and 6 NYCRR Part 617), the DEC has determined that the proposed action is a Type II action pursuant to 6 NYCRR 617.5(c)(18), and is not subject to further review or procedures under SEQR.
DEC STAFF POSITION AND DOCUMENT AVAILABILITY: After review of the application and supporting documentation the DEC Staff has made a tentative determination to issue the modified Title V permit and has prepared a draft modified permit.
