Permit(s) Applied for: 1 - Article 19 Air State Facility
Project is located: in WALLKILL in ORANGE COUNTY
Project Description:
The Department has made the tentative decision to approve an application for Emission Reduction Credits (ERCs) for shutdown of Ball Metal Beverage Container Corp. The facility ceased operations of its three production lines on August 29, 2023. Baseline emissions for these production lines totaled 46.08 tons of Volatile Organic Compounds per year, which are no longer being emitted from the facility and will be added to the ERC Registry once the application is approved. As a result, the proposed Air State Facility permit is administrative and will not authorize any new, continued, or increased emissions from the facility that would impact environmental justice or disadvantaged communities surrounding the facility.
