Approval of Source-Specific Air Quality Implementation Plan; New York; Big Six Towers Inc.
Key claim: EPA approved New York’s plan requiring three oil-fired engines at Big Six Towers in Woodside to meet reasonably available NOx controls under the 2008 and 2015 ozone air-quality standards.
Abstract
(Rule · Environmental Protection Agency) The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a revision to the State of New York’s State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) related to a source-specific SIP (SSSIP) revision for Big Six Towers Inc. (the Big Six), located at 59-55 47th Ave. Woodside, NY 11377 (the Facility). The EPA found that the control options in this SSSIP revision implement Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) with respect to oxides of nitrogen (NOX) emissions from the relevant Facility sources, which are identified as three oil-fired engines. This SSSIP revision implements NOX RACT for the relevant Facility sources in accordance with the requirements for implementation of the 2008 and 2015 ozone NAAQS. The EPA determined that this action will not interfere with ozone NAAQS requirements and meets all applicable requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
