Section 1001.17 - Exhibit 17: air emissions

If applicable, Exhibit 17 shall contain:

(a) A demonstration of the facility's compliance with applicable Federal, State, and local regulatory requirements regarding air emissions.

(b) An assessment of existing ambient air quality levels and air quality trends for pollutants in the region surrounding the facility, including air quality levels and trends taken from regional air quality summaries and air quality trend reports.

(c) For emissions of the following substances by combustion sources at the facility, a table indicating the rate and amount of emissions with the name of the substance in the first column, the hourly emission rate in the second column, and the annual potential to emit in the third column:

(1) sulfur dioxide (SO₂);

(2) oxides of nitrogen (NO_x);

(3) carbon dioxide (CO₂);

(4) carbon monoxide (CO);

(5) particulate matter (PM_2.5, PM₁₀, total PM);

(6) volatile organic compounds (VOCs);

(7) elemental lead;

(8) mercury; and

(9) a set of non-criteria (i.e. toxic) pollutants to be emitted from the proposed facility as determined in consultation with DOH and DEC.

(d) An assessment of the potential impacts to ambient air quality that may result from pollutant emissions from the facility, including:

(1) an estimation of the maximum potential air concentrations (short-term and long-term) of appropriate pollutants determined in consultation with DOH and DEC;

(2) a comparison of the maximum predicted air concentrations to ambient air quality standards and guidelines and ambient background concentrations for non- criteria pollutants for both short-term and long-term exposures for any appropriate pollutant determined in consultation with DOH and DEC;

(3) where warranted as determined in consultation with DOH and DEC, cumulative source impact analyses for any appropriate pollutant in accordance with air permitting requirements and 6 NYCRR Part 487; and

(e) An offsite consequence analysis for any ammonia that shall be stored onsite, including an analysis of an accidental release scenario for ammonia performed to meet the requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's regulations implementing section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act.
