N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. Tit. 6 § 231-5.2 - Permit application content
The information required in a permit application is set forth in Part 201 of this Title and generally in Subpart 231-11 of this Part. The following information must also be included at the time the application is submitted to the department, unless otherwise specified:
(a) A certification that all emission sources
which are part of any major facility located in New York State and under the
applicant's ownership or control (or under the ownership or control of any
entity which controls, is controlled by, or has common control with the
applicant) are in compliance, or are on a schedule for compliance, with all
applicable emission limitations and standards under Chapter III of this
Title.
(b) An analysis of
alternative sites, sizes, production processes, and environmental control
techniques which demonstrates that benefits of the proposed new or modified
facility significantly outweigh the environmental and social costs imposed as a
result of its location, construction, or modification within New York
State.
(c) A LAER analysis in
accordance with section
231-5.4
of this Subpart.
(d) 'Emission
offset information for VOC or NOx'. At the time of the
initial permit application or before the department issues a final permit
determination, the applicant must submit:
(1)
a list which identifies the source(s) of approved or proposed ERCs of VOC or
NOx that will be used as required emission offsets. This
list must include the name and location of the facility, DEC identification
number, if applicable, and the emission reduction mechanism ('i.e.', facility
shutdown, emission unit shutdown, source reduction, curtailment, over control
of emissions beyond an applicable limit). All the proposed ERCs must be
certified prior to the issuance of the final permit; and
(2) a use of emission reduction credits form
(duly completed and signed by the applicant and an authorized representative of
the ERC seller) for each ERC source listed in paragraph (1) of this
subdivision. Upon issuance of the permit for the proposed new or modified
facility, the NYS ERC Registry will be amended to reflect that the ERCs are
committed as emission offsets to the proposed new or modified facility;
and
(3) for emissions of VOC or
NOx in an ozone nonattainment area, acceptable
documentation of compliance with the contribution demonstration required
pursuant to Subpart 231-12 of this Part.
(e) 'Emission off set information for PM-10
and PM-2.5 (including applicable precursors)'. The following information must
be submitted at the time of the initial permit application:
(1) a list which identifies the source(s) of
approved or proposed ERCs of PM-10 or PM-2.5 (including applicable precursors)
that will be used as required emission offsets. This list must include the name
and location of the facility, DEC identification number, if applicable, and the
emission reduction mechanism ('i.e.', facility shutdown, emission unit
shutdown, source reduction, curtailment, over control of emissions beyond an
applicable limit);
(2) a use of
emission reduction credits form (duly completed and signed by the applicant and
an authorized representative of the ERC seller) for each ERC source listed in
paragraph (1) of this subdivision. Upon issuance of the permit for the proposed
new or modified facility, the NYS ERC Registry will be amended to reflect that
the ERCs are committed as emission offsets to the proposed new or modified
facility; and
(3) an air quality
impact evaluation in accordance with the provisions of section 231-5. 5(d) o f
this Subpart, Subpart 231-12 of this Part, and department approved modeling
procedures.
