The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is proposing a Department Initiated Modification (DIM) to State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) Permit NY0030872 pursuant to 6NYCRR Part 750-1.18, New York State's Environmental Benefit Permit Strategy (EBPS). The DEC has prepared a draft permit, and made a tentative determination, subject to public notice and comment, to approve the application to renew and to modify this SPDES permit. This permit authorizes an existing discharge of 4,200 gpd of treated stormwater from an oil/water separator treatment system to a Tributary to Jamaica Bay from the Sprague Inwood Terminal facility at 555 Doughty Blvd, Inwood.

The EBPS information provided by the Permittee included effluent sampling data and indicated the permit should be modified to: (i) update the fluorene permit limit from monitor only to 2.5 ug/L; (ii) add Short Term High Intensity Monitoring (STHIM) for methylene chloride permit limit of 10 ug/L, and (iii) update the permit to reflect the new Department format permittee information.

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.
