Project Description:
The Department has prepared draft permits and has made a tentative determination, subject to public comment or other information, to approve this application to renew the Air Title IV and V permits for this power generating facility. The Hawkeye Energy Greenport facility operates as a peak unit and receives dispatch instructions on a day-ahead basis from New York ISO. The facility is caping Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) to stay below 22.5 tons per year on an annual average basis rolled daily. This Renewal does not include changes to the facility equipment or processes and does not authorize an increase in emissions. The permittee will be required to maintain records and report this data to verify compliance with permit conditions and limits. Pursuant to the requirements of Section 7(2) of the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA), the Department has requested and received information regarding the project's consistency with CLCPA.
The facility has one emission unit which consists of two 27 MW Pratt & Whitney FT8 simple cycle combustion turbines. The turbines are fired only on low-sulfur (.0015%) distillate fuel. Distillate oil is stored on site in two, 150,000-gallon storage tanks. The facility emissions are controlled by carbon monoxide catalysts and a selective catalytic reactor (SCR).
In accordance with 6NYCRR Parts 621.7(d)(9) and 201-6.3(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.
