Permit(s) Applied for:

Article 19 Air State Facility

Project is Located:

MOUNT KISCO, WESTCHESTER COUNTY

Project Description:

The Department has prepared a draft permit and has made a tentative determination, subject to public comment or other information, to modify the Air State Facility Permit for Northern Westchester Hospital Association. The facility operates several emission sources that include three boilers, four emergency generators, eight storage tanks, and several fume hoods.

This is a modification to the Air State Facility permit to remove the four (4) 400 KW TecoDrive natural gas fired chiller engines. These engines have been decommissioned and removed from the site in April 2023. The chiller replacements are fully electric; as a result, Northern Westchester Hospital Association is seeking emission reduction credits for these engines. The facility has applied for 8.5 tons per year of Oxides of Nitrogen in emission reduction credits.

The permit includes a condition under 6 NYCRR Part 201-7 to cap emissions of Oxides of Nitrogen at 22.5 tons/year.

Persons wishing to inspect the subject files, including the application with all relevant supporting materials, the draft permit, and all other materials available to the DEC (the "permitting authority") that are relevant to this permitting decision should contact the DEC representative listed below. The Draft Permit may be viewed and printed from the Department web site at: https://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/8569.html.
