Permit(s) Applied for:

Article 17 Titles 7 & 8 Industrial SPDES - Surface Discharge

Project is Located:

MARCY, ONEIDA COUNTY

Project Description:

The Department has prepared a draft permit and has made a tentative determination, subject to public comment or other information, to approve the renewal and modification of a State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) permit for the Sunoco Marcy Terminal.

The facility has undergone a full technical review as part of the Environmental Benefit Permit Strategy, resulting in the following changes to the existing permit.

This is an industrial facility (SIC code 4226) for special warehousing and storage, including the storage of diesel fuel, home heating oil, and kerosene. As requested by the permittee, the SIC code listed on the SPDES permit is changing from 5171 to 4226 to better reflect the primary function of the facility. There are no effluent limitation guidelines (ELGs) promulgated under Section 304 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) that apply to the discharge from this facility. Effluent consists of stormwater runoff and hydrostatic test water. The current treatment system consists of oil/water separators and activated carbon filters before the effluent is discharged through Outfall 003 to the nearby municipal storm sewer. The storm sewer travels approximately 700 feet before discharging into an unnamed tributary of the Barge Canal (Class D). The tributary extends approximately 100 feet before merging with the Barge Canal (Class C).

Outfall 001 previously discharged runoff from the loading rack area into the tributary of the Barge Canal. The outfall has been removed from the permit as the runoff now discharges through Outfall 003.

Outfall 002 previously discharged effluent from the groundwater recovery system into the unnamed tributary of the Barge Canal. The outfall has been removed from the permit as the recovery system is no longer in operation.

Outfall 003, which was previously used only for stormwater runoff from the tank farm, is now the primary outfall with the effluent previously from Outfall 001 being added to the discharge from Outfall 003. Outfall 03A remains active as a sample point for any hydrostatic test water which ultimately discharges to Outfall 003. No hydrostatic testing occurred during the last permit term.

The draft SPDES permit with fact sheet is available online at https://dec.ny.gov/fs/projects/draftpermits. The draft permit files are contained within regional folders and named by the SPDES number contained in this notice.

Requests for a legislative (public statement) hearing must be sent in writing to the DEC contact person below by the comment deadline. The Department assesses such requests pursuant to 6 NYCRR Section 621.8. Refer to this application by the application number listed above and SPDES Number NY0218090.
