Enclosure \ New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Article X Pre-Applic^tton Report Comments and Responses Regarding Air Quality Aspects of New York Power Authority's Combined Cycle Project
Comment 1: General Comment- Emergency or Backup Equipment The impacts of any onsite emergency or backup equipment must be addressed in this Protocol and in the Application.
Response: Onsite or emergency backup equipment will be addressed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the State of New York. Specific to air regulations, 6 NYCRR Part 201 will be followed in determining if any such equipment needs to be permitted (i.e., exempt or trivial pursuant to 6 NYCRR Part 201-3). Regardless, emissions from such equipment will be included in the facility total emission summary in determining minor and major source status as well as other requirements (i.e., offsetting such emissions pursuant to 6 NYCRR Part 231-2). Finally, operation of such equipment will be included in the modeling assessment with impacts determined on a potential/worst-case basis. The air modeling protocol has been revised to reflect this comment.
Comment 2: General Comment- Acidic Deposition Acidic deposition must be addressed in this Protocol and in the Application. To assist NYPA in this task, attached is the March 4, 1993 Department Policy Memo, "Source Specific Acidic Deposition Impacts for Permit Applications."
Response: Acidic deposition will be addressed by NYPA and will follow the March 4, 1993 Department Policy Memo, "Source Specific Acidic Deposition Impacts for Permit Applications." The air modeling protocol has been revised to reflect this comment.
Comment 3: General Comment-Model Runs All model runs of the final air quality impact analysis, together with the meteorological data used, will need to be provided for our review and verification at or before the filing of the Application. The hourly meteorological data should be provided (1 file for each year) in card image format on either CD ROMs or floppy disks.
Response: The requested files will be provided, on CD ROMs, in your copy of the PSD permit application, as an appendix.

Comment 4: General Comment- Stack and Emission Parameters The Application must verify that the stack and emission parameters which are used for assessment of facility impact are final values.
Response: The air quality analysis that will be the basis of the PSD and Article X applications will be developed using specific design stack parameters for a range of operating conditions, which will be identified in these documents.
Page 2 of 2 New York City Department of Environmental Protection Article X Pre-Application Report Comments and Responses Regarding New York Power Authority's Combined Cycle Project
Comment 1: Water Supply and Sanitary Sewer Connections The environmental analysis should identify the specific water mains sanitary/combined sewers, and pumping stations in the immediate area which can be used to provide water and sewer service. A detailed analysis of water demand and wastewater flow capacity is necessary to determine potential impacts. Water demand issues, including potential pressure impacts and sewer capacity issues should be assessed. Please contact this office should you need assistance gathering existing data.
Response: The Article X Application will identify specific water mains sanitary sewers and pumping stations which can be used to provide water and sewer service. Water demand issues including potential pressure impacts and sewer capacity issues will be assessed. NYPA intends to use existing water mains and sewers on the site.
Comment 2: Wastewater Collection Facilities For the wastewater collection analysis, please elaborate on the flow quantity and point of discharge into the City sewer system. Please disclose whether the flow will be pumped or delivered by gravity. The potential additional flow to the Bowery Bay WPCP should be quantified and the project's effect on the flow and pollutant affluent limits at the WPCP should be addressed.
Response: The Article X Application will provide information on the flow quantity and point of discharge into the City sewer system and whether the flow will be pumped or delivered by gravity. The application will address the impact of discharge to the Bowery Bay WPCP.
Comment 3: Industrial Wastewater Discharge (a) Based upon the project description provided in the Pre-Applicant Report, this facility will be designated a Significant Industrial User. As such, it will be subject to both the Local Limits, set forth in 15 RCNY Chapter 19, and Categorical limits, set forth in 40 CRF part 423. Accordingly, the proposed project would require an Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit from NYCDEP's Industrial Pretreatment Program (IPP). NYCDEP is the authorized Control Authority for the IPP pursuant to an approval by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). New York City Department of ElBWimental Protection Article X Pre-Application Reportrt CornnComments and Responses R -ganling N^w York Power Authority's Combined Cycle Project
Response: (a) Currently there are no pla.is to discharge industrial wastewater to a New York City Wastewater Treatment Plant; therefore, an industrial wastewater discharge permit from the New York City Industrial Pre-treatment Program (IPP) is not required. Industrial wastewater will be trucked off-siff, f^ - permitted facilitv NYPA will contact the NYCDEP to discuss the permitting requirements for industrial wastewater treatment.
Comment 3: (b) According to the Pre-Application Report, the proposal is to discharge storm water from potentially contaminated areas, (specifically oil storage areas,) into the Combined sewer system after treatment by an oil water separator. DEP has a number of concerns in regard to this proposal. First, it should be noted that the property in question has separate sanitary and storm sewer systems. Therefore, to discharge storm water into the sanitary sewer system would be contrary to Con Edison's existing efforts on this property.
Response: NYPA will use separate sanitary and storm sewer systems for the proposed facility. The Article X Application will describe stormwater contamination control activities planned for both the construction and operation of the plant. The description will include planned erosion and runoff control measures during construction and operation. The description will also address the control of spills and leaks during operation of the proposed facility. NYPA proposes to use an oil water separator system to contain potential leaks which could result in contamination for areas of concern such as the boiler and transformer area, and chemical treatment area.
The description will also address control of spills cr leaks from existing and/or new facilities including transformers, chemicals and fuel oil, spills during product deliveries and other areas where potential leaks could result in contamination. NYPA proposes to use an oil-water separator systems
Comment 3: (c) As stated above, the Pre-Application Report indicates that storm water from oil storage areas will be discharged to the public sewer. It is prohibited by the NYC Fire Code to have such a connection. The proposed oil water separator would be quickly overwhelmed in the even of an oil spill. The proposal also indicates that Transformer areas will be connected to the sewer system. This, again, is contrary to existing efforts by Con Edison citywide to disconnect potentially contaminated areas from the public sewer system. The proposed treatment, an oil water separator, is not adequate to address potential PCB issues and the current DEP PCB guidance criteria.
Response: Each of these issues will be addressed in the application (see response to Comment 3b). The issu^. of PCB use at the proposed facility will also be addressed.

Comment 3: (d) Furthermore, additional information is needed concerning the floor drains. Why is it proposed that they be discharged to the sanitary sewer system when all other process waste water is to be discharge to the SPDES outfall? Detailed plans and specification must be submitted and reviewed before such connection to the sewer are problematic and may violate the NYC sewer system, additional data are needed on all sources of wastewater discharge into the sanitary sewer system. Specifics are needed on the quantity and quality of the discharge, including average and peak flow rates. In addition, detailed data are required on the proposed on-site pretreatment system for fhese discharges, along with monitoring systems and sampling points for discharges.
Response: The Article X Application will address the issue of discharge of floor drains into the sanitary sewer system. The proposed design will limit sources of discharge to the sanitary sewer system to those already in use at the Tacility. The Application will include a description of the existing on-site treatment facilities. Information on monitoring and sampling points for discharges will also be included in the Application.
Comment 4: Natural Resources The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has the regulatory authority for wetlands, estuaries, fisheries, and other marine resources. We request that the applicant submit copies of all analyses of potential impacts on natural resources to the NYCDEP Office of Environmental Planning and Assessment (OEPA).
Response: The referenced analyses will be embodied in the Article X Application. NYSDEC will be provided copies of the Article X Application when it is filed and will be afforded the opportunity to review and comment on those analyses.
Comment 5: Hazardous Materials Assessments Given the industrial history of the site and the presence of fill material, any excavation, grading or subsurface soil disturbance will require a hazardous materials assessment. A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) is required. Assuming that a Phase II will also be necessary, a Phase II Sampling Protocol must be submitted for review and written approval by NYCDEP. If sampling is, i^uired, ar. NYC^0 approved worker Health and Safety Dan (HASP) must be included in the Phase II protocol. No site grading, excavation, building construction, or demolition can occur until all NYCDEP approved sampling, and any necessary remediation, have been completed.
Page 3 of 7 New York City Department ot H^^nmcntal Protection Article X Pre-Application Report Comments and Responses Regarding N?w York Power Authority's Combined Cycle Project
Response: An environmental baseline sampling program is planned to be undertaken in the near future in conjunction with a ;;eotechnical investigation of the proposed project site. A work plan has been developed in accordance with the NYSDEC requirements for Preliminary Site Assessments. The work plan has been reviewed and approved by NYSDEC. A copy of the results report will be provided to NYCDEP upon completion.
Comment 6: Air Analyses (a) The review of the project's potential air and noise impacts will be expected to be conducted in accordance with the procedures and methodologies presented in the City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual. The applicant and consultants can obtain this manual from the Department of City Planning Bookstore, located at 22 Reade Street in Manhattan. The phone number is 212-720-3667.
Response: (a) An air impact assessment within a "study area" defined as a 1,000 foot radius of the project site will be performed (the 1,000-foot radius established pursuant to CEQR guidelines). A field survey will be performed within the area bounded by the circle to establish the presence of stationary sources with heat inputs greater than 2.8 mmBtu/hr. The inventory of sources will be presented to the NYCDEP who will provide accurate, verified source parameters for modeling. Modeling will be performed to assess the impact of these sources and the proposed sources within the "study area". The need to include existing large or proposed large sources outside the study area has not yet been fully resolved and awaits the results of a meeting to be held among NYCDEP staff members.
Comment 6: (b) Both the Pre-Application Report and the Air Quality Modeling Protocol present methodology based on a Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) evaluation. However, since a NYC DEP CEQR analysis follows different criteria for conducting an impact assessment, the following comments should be incorporated into the scope and resulting analysis to facilitate the Department's review of the proposed project.
• An emission section should be included in the document to explain how the emissions will be determined for the air quality analysis. The potential to emit together with the actual emissions should be clearly stated in tons/year. Emission units, assumptions and parameters used in the calculations should be stated, in addition, any reduction of the emissions due to catalysts, lower percentage of sulfur content, systems techniques used, etc. should be appropriately justified demonstrating also that these reductions are arhipvable.
Response: (b) The Air Quality Modeling Protocol will contain descriptions detailing the sources of all emissions data includrng stack parameters and pollutant emission rates. Any reductions in emissions due to regulatory requirements (i.e., fuel sulfur
Page 4 of 7 New York City Department of E^Mhmental Protection Article X Pre-Application ReportCTmmentsiortTomn and Responses Regarding New York Power Authority's Combined Cycle Project
limitations, BACT/LAER considerations) will be described in the Air Quality Modeling Protocol using best available and ;nost current regulatory and design information and will be finalized in the PSD Air Permit and Article X applications. All impact analyses prepared for the PSD and Article X applications will be based upon maximum potential emissions over the range of plant operating loads and ambient conditions. Emission parameters, calculations and assumptions will be detailed in the applications.
Comment 6: (c) A niore detailed description of the proposed operational equipment and control equipment should be provided, including manufacturer specifications.
Response: (c) Air Quality Modeling Protocol will contain summary descriptions of proposed operational and control equipment. Given the likelihood of refinements to the equipment and adjustments to operations as the application process progresses, detailed descriptions of said equipment will not be provided until the PSD Air Permit and Article X applications are prepared. Technical information of said equipment (i.e., model numbers, vendor names) will be contained in the 6 NYCRR Part 201 air permit forms
Comment 6: (d) All sensitive receptors, including residences, hospitals, schools and other community facilities should be identified. The air quality protocol should include the identification and resultant air quality concentrations at all potentially impacted receptors. Also, the air quality analysis must consider the potential impacts at elevated receptors in addition to assessing maximum ground level plant impacts.
Response: (d) The Air Quality Modeling Protocol will contain a table and appendix listing the sensitive and elevated receptors, respectively. Maximum calculated air quality concentrations at ground level and elevated receptors will be provided in the PSD and Article X applications.
Comment 6: (e) A cumulative air impact assessment is necessary to analyze the effects of this proposal in conjunction with other existing or planned projects in the vicinity of the NYPA site. The assessment of the proposed projects should focus on those facilities with similar build years. The cumulative analysis should include the adjacent Con Ed generation facility, along with any other major sources of like emissions in Queens, midtown Manhattan, and the Bronx.
Response: (e) Consistent with the approach recommended by the NYSDEC, the applicant will perform a cumulative impact assessment of existing major sources and proposed power plants with comphte Article X applications if the applicant's facility is predicted to have air quality impacts above U.S. EPA Significant Impact Concentrations.
Page 5 of? New York City Department of E^HnmentalE^^nr Protection Article X Pre-Appiication Report Comments and Responses Regarding v'j.w York Power Authority's Combined Cycle Project
Comment 6: (f) A scaled site plan showing the coordinate system to be used in the dispersion modeling should be submitted as part of the scope. The coordinate locations for receptors, process area sources, point sources, and buildings relevant for a "downwash analysis" should all be verifiable from 'he^ •'•^ -'-'"• other source* included in the analysis of potential cumulative or combined affects should likewise be identified.
Response: (f) A site plan showing the dimensions of all structures that influence the GEP determination will be provided in the Air Quality Modeling Protocol. The BPIP data files supporting the GEP analysis will be provided as part of the CD-ROM project files package that will accompany certain copies of the PSD application.
Comment 6: (g) Information which is typically collected as part of DEP's permit to construct and certificate to operate gas turbine/generator sets or any other anticipated stationary combustion sources should be provided.
Response: (g) NYCDEP air permit application forms will be completed for all non-exempt equipment and will be submitted with the PSD Air Permit and Article X applications.
Comment 6: (h) For the ISCST3 dispersion analysis, it is necessary, as stated in the NYC CEQR Guidelines, to utilize gradual plume rise instead of final plume rise.
Response: (h) The gradual plume rise option will be utilized in assess impacts to the elevated "point-in-space" receptors only. Final plume rise will be used for the ground level receptors. This is consistent with PSD guidance and has been confirmed with the NYSDEC.
Comment 7: Noise Analysis The noise methodology that was presented in the Pre-Application Report differs from a noise analysis that is typically performed under CEQR regulations. The applicant is referred to the procedures and methodologies that are outlined in the City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual for noise modeling procedures which are customarily used in impact assessment. However, this office is amenable to reviewing the applicant's proposed noise computer model and techniques, and would accept an alternative methodology provided that the consultant demonstrates its validity and applicability for complying with the CEQR standards. Therefore, a noise protocol for the proposed projects should be resubmitted to this office for review. This protocol should include a description of all field work, a list of potentially 'mpiuacd receptors, equipment specifications for the project, mitigation measures (such as building construction materials), and the detailed methodology proposed to conduct noise measurements for the existing conditions and to calculate noise for future conditions. Also, noise
Page 6 of 7 New York City Department of ftI nmental Protection BB Article X Pre-Appiication ReportXommentsunents and Responses Regarding New York Power Authority's Combined Cycle Project
measurements should be conducted for at least 20-minute intervals to be representative of ambient conditions
Response: A formal noise impact assessment protocol was provided to NYCDEP for review and comment on January 31, 2000. As required, the protocol was in conformance with the NYC CEQR manual and provided information on the nearby noise sensitive receptors, proposed noise monitoring methodology and locations, the noise model, and the noise modeling methodology. Available information on equipment specifications and potential noise mitigation measures were also provided.
Page 7 of 7 New York State Department of Public Service Article X Pre-Application Report Comments and Responses Regarding New York Power Authority's Combined Cycle Project
Comment 1: In the PIP Section of the PAR, the New York Power Authority (NYPA) emphasizes that public involvement is being actively sought throughout this Article X process. In view of the low attendance at the public meetings NYPA held, it should discuss what steps it is taking to encourage stakeholders within and around the affected communities to become involved in the process.
Response: NYPA has made numerous presentations to the community, local government and NYPA customers in order to reach as many people as possible. Total attendance at these presentations has been approximately 550 people. NYPA has also provided one-on-one meetings to interested parties upon request. At all meetings and presentations, NYPA requested that attendees pass on the word about the proposed facility in the community. In addition, NYPA published advertisements in local newspapers announcing the "Open House" and publication of the Pre- Application Report (PAR). NYPA also established a toll free free number (1- 888-NYPA 332) and NYPA website fwww.nvpa.gov/ccf/ccf.html). In addition, NYPA mailed out invitations to the "Open House" in Astoria. All information distributed to the general public includes contact information.
Comment 2: NYPA mentions having preliminary meetings with stakeholders about the project. However, the only "community type" organization listed is Community Board #1. Please list any other community organizations, environmental, grass roots, or special interest groups, and community residents that the applicant may have met with. Please provide a copy of the applicant's project mailing list. Explain the criteria used to determine the area(s) and mailing lists. Provide a list of the local libraries and other public locations where copies of the PAR and application have been placed for public review.
Response: The NYPA Poletti project has been in operation since 1977. NYPA has been an active participant in the community and business organizations for the past 18 years. NYPA has established and maintained several longstanding relationships with stakeholders in the area and has developed a good understanding of the community needs and concerns and how to address these issues.
NYPA has met with the New York City Council Division of Infrastructure, the Mayor's Community Assistance Unit and representatives from the mayor's office to discuss the proposed project. NYPA has also worked closely with Community Board #1, comprised of over forty members who represent numerous community organizations in Astoria, Long Island City and Jackson Heights, to identify interested groups in the area and has asked community leaders to provide New York Sta^te Department of Pj p Service Article X Pre-Application Repoi ents and Responses Regarding New York Power Authority's Col Tied Cycle Project
additional names of organizations that NYPA should contact. NYPA extended an open invitation to members of the Community Board to make presentations on the Combined Cycle Project to the group that each member represents.
NYPA has also met with: • Astoria-Ditmars Homeowners Association • 114th Community Council • United Civic Association • Queens Chamber of Commerce.
In August 1999, NYPA invited Queens community leaders to the Poletti Project to discuss the proposed combined-cycle project. We indicated that these were initial meetings and that progress meetings would be held throughout licensing and construction phases of the project.
NYPA has developed a toll free number (1-888-NYPA 332), a website rwww.nypa.gov/ccf/ccf.html) and a newsletter to keep interested parties up-to- date on the progress of the project. Anyone who wishes to be included on the mailing list can do so by calling the NYPA toll free number or contacting the NYPA website.
Attached is the service list for the Pre-Application Report. The following criteria were used to select names for the service list: • Required by regulation • Political jurisdiction • Known community leader • Environmental organization • Proximity to site • Economic development organization • Intervenor in other Article X proceedings • Civic association • Corporate knowledge based on 23 years experience participating in community activities
The PAR was placed in the following libraries: • Queens Public Library, 21-45 315' Street, Long island City, NY 11105 • Fordham Library Center, 2556 Bainbridge Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458 • Mid-Manhattan Library, 455 Fifth Avenue, new York, NY 10016
Comment 3: NYPA describes five outreach events that it either held or participated in. From the description of the events, it appears that NYPA has reached out to some of the major umbrella community groups in the area. A list of significant concerns
Page 2 of 18 New York State Deparfment of ^ Service Article X Pre-Application Repoirfl Bim ents and Responses Regarding New York Power Authority's Co:!oi^raned Cycle Project
including emissions, number of plants in the area, demand for electricity, etc. are also mentioned. Provide a summary of how the applicant has followed up on these concerns and whether they have been incorporated into the project. If so, NYPA should explain how it reported back to the community on its use of stakeholder input, or plans to report back in the future. Indicate what other outreach events are being planned. Explain whether any of the above mentioned events resulted in requests for presentations. If so, please provide a listing.
Response: In response to concerns about emissions, NYPA has committed to reduce emissions on an annual basis at its existing Charles Poletti Power Project if the proposed combined cycle facility is constructed, resulting in a net improvement in air quality. NYPA has already discussed the proposed changes in the Poletti operations in meetings with community groups as well as in the PAR. NYPA will evaluate the results of the water quality and fish studies of the proposed facility in the Article X Application. NYPA has already discussed the proposed changes in the Poletti operations in meetings with community groups as well as in the PAR. In addition, NYPA will consider waterfront access by the public in its land use study for the Article X Application.
To date, NYPA has reported back to interested parties by phone and scheduled one-to-one meetings. NYPA also plans to conduct additional presentations at the Borough Cabinet Meeting where all Queens Community Boards are represented and to Community Board #1 which is comprised of over forty members who represent numerous community organizations in Astoria, Long Island and Jackson Heights, the local Kiwanis and Lions Clubs, and local PTAs.
Comment 4: In the first full paragraph [page 9, section 1.3.2], NYPA mentions identifying additional information needs and the necessity for more studies to address some of the concerns raised. Specify which studies have been determined to be necessary, due to concerns raised by the public. Please specify which project design alternatives have been incorporated in response to community or agency concerns raised.
Response: As stated on page 102 of the PAR, the potential for increased public use and access to the waterfront areas of NYPA's property will be evaluated in response to public comments regarding this issue. In response to agency concerns regarding once-through cooling (expressed at a Pre-Application meeting on August 5, 1999), NYPA has eliminated once-through cooling during the winter months from consideration and has incorporated year-round use of mechanical draft cooling towers into the project design. In response to concerns regarding cooling tower plumes, NYPA has also incorporated plume abatement into the proposed project design. Agency comments (NYSDEC) have also been reflected in the planned environmental baseline sampling work plan.
Page 3 of 18 New York St^te Depaftment of c Service Article X Pre-Application Rep^ ents and Responses Regarding New York Power Authority's Co Ined Cycle Project
Comment 5: In the second paragraph on page 9, the applicant mentions that it "will initiate and respond to requests for meetings with agency staffs, local government officials, community-based advisory and interest groups and interested citizens." Besides NYPA's initiating individual contacts, explain how the general community will be made aware of NYPA's availability to do project presentations.
Response: NYPA's willingness to make presentations to the public has been expressed at meetings with community organizations, in the PAR and contact through the NYPA toll free phone-line (1-888-NYPA 332) or NYPA web page fwww.nvpa.gov/ccf/ccf.html). The NYPA toll free phone-line number and web site address was published in advertisements in newspapers in Queens, Manhattan and the Bronx which announced the filing of the PAR and was also included on all written materials distributed regarding the project. NYPA will continue to identify interested groups through on-going contact with the local business groups and community organizations.
Comment 6: The PAR mentions that it will serve as a basis of continuing discussions with agency and municipal representatives, stakeholders, and interested citizens regarding the scope and content of the Article X Application. A list of some of the entities the applicant intends to follow up with is provided. However, only one community agency is listed. Explain whether there are any other community groups that the applicant intends to continue discussions with.
Response: NYPA intends to continue discussions with the community groups identified in Response 2 and any other group that expresses a an interest in the proposed facility.
Comment 7: The applicant refers to the production of a newsletter that will be sent to its mailing list periodically and the establishment of a toll-free number (1-888- NYPA-332) for the general public to leave messages and make inquiries regarding the project. Please provide a schedule for the newsletter distribution along with copies of the newsletter when available. With regard to the toll-free number, please elaborate on whether it is completely automated or is it possible for a consumer to speak with a representative.
Response: NYPA expects to publish a quarterly newsletter until the project commences service. The next newsletter will be published in March or April 2000. In

particular attention to facilities located in areas designated as severe nonattainment.
Response: The applicant will perform initial atmospheric dispersion modeling of the proposed facility using an approach detailed in an approved modeling protocol for the project. In accordance with U.S. EPA PSD modeling guidelines and NYSDEC recommendations, if the preliminary, single source modeling indicates that the proposed facility will have impacts, which exceed U.S. EPA Significant Impact Concentrations for one or more pollutants, the applicant will perform a multi-source impact assessment. This assessment will include all existing major point sources within the largest SIA plus 50 km of the proposed source. For PSD increment analysis, all PSD permitted sources with 50 km of the SIA will be included in the modeling analysis.
In addition, an assessment of local air impacts within a "study area" defined as a 1,000 foot radius of the project site will be performed (the 1,000 foot radius established pursuant to City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) guidelines). A field survey will be performed within the area bounded by the circle to establish the presence of stationary sources with heat inputs greater than 2.8 mmBtu/hr. The inventory of sources will be presented to the NYCDEP who will provide accurate, verified source parameters for modeling.
Comment 23: The application must identify design stack height.
Response: As stated above in response to Comment 19, the air quality analysis that will be the basis of the PSD and Article X Applications will be developed using a specific design stack height, which will be identified in these documents.
Comment 24: The Modeling Protocol should include reference to cooling tower visible plume formation. Frequency, size and visible characteristics should be addressed in the protocol for characterization and impact analysis in the application.

Comment 27: The PAR states that the results of the geotechnical investigation, including the preliminary site assessment, "will be summarized in the Article X Application." A summary is appropriate for the body of the application. However, the results of the investigation should be presented in an appendix to the application.
Response: The geotechnical investigation is being performed to determine subsurface characteristics critical to the foundation design for the project. The final report will include boring logs and laboratory analyses that may be too voluminous for inclusion in the Article X Application. To avoid burdening the record of the Article X proceeding, the conclusion and results of the geotechnical investigation will be summarized in the application as an appendix. A complete copy of the final report, including complete laboratory results, will be provided under separate cover to NYSDEC and NYSDPS staff.
Comment 28: In the application, the references to land use along the East River reaches should be cross-referenced to the studies of land use, as included in Section 3.2 of the PAR.

Provide an analysis of the cumulative water and aquatic impacts of the proposed Poletti Project and other water users and dischargers in the vicinity of the plant site. Show impacts by dredging operations associated with the Poletti Project construction and what precautions will be taken to minimize these impacts and assure compliance with water quality standards.
Response: An analysis will be provided in the Article X Application to show that adverse impacts of the proposed facility will be minimized. The analysis will consider cumulative water quality and aquatic ecology impacts for major water users and dischargers within one-mile of the proposed project. Data for facilities not owned or operated by NYPA will be obtained from previously conducted and publicly available studies. Impacts associated with any dredging operations will be discussed and planned mitigation measures will be presented in the Article X Application.
Comment 35: The significant coastal habitats identified should be cross-referenced and discussed in the Coastal Zone Policy and consistency review section, as discussed in Section 3.2.2.
Page 13 of 18 New York State Department of Public Service Article X Pre-Applicalion Repo|^«nments and Responses Regarding New York Power Authority's CoBmed Cycle Project
Response: The requested cross reference and discussion regarding significant coastal habitats will be provided in the Article X Application.
Comment 36: Describe all of the techniques that will be used to prevent stormwater contamination, and include a conceptual site plan designating all intended structures and improvements which are designed to prevent stormwater contamination in any potentially affected water body. Contaminants considered should include chemicals, fuel oil or other substances from storage facilities, product delivery, plant operation, plant maintenance, waste handling activities, and vehicles in parking lots or other areas.
Response: A site plan designating all intended structures and improvements to prevent stormwater runoff will be provided in the Article X Application. In addition, all techniques used to prevent stormwater contamination will be described within the text of the application.
Comment 37: The proposal to not identify and delineate areas of project visibility through development of a viewshed must be justified. A viewshed indicating screening effects of urban development may be appropriate. Figure 3.7, "Project Photosimulation" does not appear to indicate proposed cooling towers or transmission interconnection lines. The list of visually sensitive and historic resources in Table 3-13, should be referenced to a map indicating detailed locations of these and any other such resources identified in studies of the project area. Visual impact and mitigation needs assessment should address plant operational characteristics, including visible exhaust stack and cooling tower plumes, facility lighting, architectural design, as well as, colors, and landscape plantings along the waterfront area. Explore opportunities for visual enhancement of the site and surroundings, such as removal of undesirable elements (e.g., coal loading and handling conveyors) and restoration of historic sintering building.
Response: A viewshed map is but one tool used to assess potential visual and aesthetic impacts of proposed projects. A critical factor in evaluating potential visibility of a structure is the placement of the potential viewer, usually assumed to be at ground level; hence, the preparation of a viewshed map based on topography. In a densely developed urban area such as New York City, views from street level are usually obstructed by buildings while views from the upper floors of taller buildings may be unobstructed. Even elevated views are highly dependent upon the orientation of the windows and the height of surrounding development while street level views may be extended at intersections. In other words, the viewshed of a particular feature, such as the proposed project, is highly variable in an urban area and can not be depicted on a map.
Page 14 of 18 New York Stjrte Department of&jWic Service Article X Pre-Application Repo^^Pnments and Responses Regarding New York Power Authority's C^mined Cycle Project
The photosimulation shown as Figure 3-7 in the Pre-Application report was prepared to show the proposed facility in relation to the existing Poletti and Astoria generating stations; the area for the proposed cooling tower is not visible in this photo. Similarly, the required transmission line may be underground and would not be shown on this photo. Additional photosimulations will be provided in the Article X Application to depict the proposed cooling tower and transmission facilities (if overhead transmission facilities are proposed).
In the Article X Application, visually sensitive and historic resources will be presented in a table and keyed to a map. As specified in the comment, the visual assessment will address plant operational characteristics including visible exhaust stack and cooling tower plumes, facility lighting, architectural design and landscaping.
Comment 38: If there will be any offsite work on interconnects (e.g., gas, transmission), which requires digging up streets, this should be addressed in the application. This section also states that "the delivery of larger system equipment by barge is being evaluated." Explain whether barge delivery was used in the construction of any of the other generating facilities on site and whether there is any existing on site infrastructure for such delivery.
Response: We currently plan to make the gas and electrical interconnects within the Astoria site so the interconnects should not require streets to be dug up. In addition, NYPA will evaluate the suitability of existing infrastructure to accommodate barge delivery of equipment and materials.
Comment 39: This section [3.9.2] states that "[no] significant impacts to the operation of mass transit systems are anticipated." Please address whether mass transit facilities near the site will significantly reduce any roadway impacts from construction.
Response: Mass transit is not expected to significantly reduce construction worker traffic since bus routes and subway lines are relatively far removed from the proposed project site; however, NYPA anticipates minimal impacts to the local roadways caused by the construction of the facility. This topic will be fully discussed in the Article X Application.
Comment 40: The location of noise receptors for measurements and measurement protocols should be discussed with and confirmed by DPS staff and the NYC DEP before
Page 15 of 18 New York St^te Department of jc Service Article X Pre-Application Rep ents and Responses Regarding New York Power Authority's C ined Cycle Project
noise surveys are performed. In this regard, page 105 discusses measurements during "evening hours," while page 106 discusses "late night" levels.
Response: Nearby noise sensitive receptors and proposed noise monitoring locations will be provided to NYSDPS and NYCDEP for review and comment. Noise monitoring will be performed during the daytime hours (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.) and late at night (1 a.m. to 5 a.m.) for a period of 20 minutes at each location.
Comment 41: Please indicate facility layout and architectural design alternatives, cooling tower locations, as well as facility color schemes to enhance the appearance of the facility and setting.
Response: Site limitations in terms of available land area, existing above ground and underground facilities have dictated the placement and layout of the proposed combined-cycle facility and evaporative cooling towers. In addition, the planned color scheme of the proposed facility has been selected to harmonize with the existing surrounding facilities.
Comment 42: Provide information on all of the feasible alternative cooling systems (e.g., once- through, hybrid, and air-cooled) and an analysis which shows in detail why each of these alternatives was rejected in favor of the proposed mechanical draft cooling towers.
Response: An analysis of alternative cooling schemes will be included in the Article X Application. The analysis will demonstrate the reason(s) that the hybrid cooling system has been selected.
Comment 43: It is appropriate to discuss alternative design options as per the discussion of Sections 4.3 and 4.4. Consideration should also be given to possible seasonal strategies concerning operation of evaporative cooling systems, if applicable.
Response: As indicated in the Pre-Application report (Sections 4.3 and 4.4), alternate design options will be discussed. The Article X Application will include a discussion of alternative technologies as well as a financial analysis for each potential alternative.
Comment 44: Although the PAR addresses the requirements of Public Service Law (PSL) section 168(2)(a) and sections 10011.5(a) and (b) of the implementing
Page 16 of 18 New York State Department of P^lic Service Article X Pre*-Application Repc^^miments and Responses Regarding New York Power Authority's C^Bwned Cycle Project
regulations, the application should contain greater detail regarding the need for electric generating capacity.
Response: The application will contain greater detail regarding the need for the electric generating capacity.
NYPA is a Load Serving Entity (LSE) in the Con Edison service area. In conjunction with the PSC proceeding to restructure Con Edison, a settlement was reached which outlined the implementation of retail competition and divestiture of its generation. Among other things, the settlement called for those entities competing for retail customers to maintain an installed reserve capacity (ICAP) within New York City equal to 80% of their in-City load. This requirement did not apply to NYPA or to Con Edison's residual load, though it does apply to that portion of the load which selected Con Edison in the competitive environment. When it sold its in-City generation. Con Edison pledged to the purchasers of those units that it would be responsible for maintaining an 80% ICAP for its in-City load.
This settlement, concluded in 1997, was proposed to become a grandfathered existing local ICAP requirement as part of the ISO filings. The FERC approved this proposal and it is became effective with ISO start-up in November 1999.
Any changes in the ICAP requirement must be approved by the ISO and then submitted to the FERC. The ISO Staff is presently working on an ICAP requirement which would apply to all LSEs within New York City, including NYPA. It is anticipated that it will be considered by FERC by June 2000. NYPA has already indicated to the ISO Management Committee and Board that it intends to seek an exemption from the requirement only through the end of 2004 to allow time for it to complete the proposed generation expansion.
While at this time it is not know what level of in-City ICAP the ISO Staff will recommend, it is virtually certain to be higher than the 58% that NYPA now has when only the existing Poletti and KIAC plants are considered.
Comment 45: The PAR contains certain summary level descriptions of major equipment. The application needs to be expanded to ensure that the reliability and feasibility of the selected equipment is thoroughly presented. This can be done by providing reliability data for the major generation components including the gas turbine, heat recovery steam generator, and steam turbine; and collectively for the entire power block. The reliability data required is the following: capacity factor; availability; equivalent availability; forced outage rate; equivalent forced outage rate; and starting reliability. Much of this information can be derived from the NERC-GADS data base. If available, provide data for the last five years,
Page 17 of 18 New York State Department of PublicPj SeService Article X Pre-Application Repo| ents and Responses Regarding New York Power Authority's C Cycle Project
including year by year and cumulatively. If the equipment supplied does not have an operating history, provide an estimate of operating reliability with the rationale including back-up information from tests and experience with individual equipment components.
Response: The application will include information from NERC on the availability and reliability of systems similar to that proposed for this project. Data for the period 1994-1998 (five years) will be analyzed if available. Information on the availability of individual items of equipment will be addressed if such information is available.
Comment 46: Information was provided in the PAR regarding the identification of reasonable alternate technologies to the proposal. However, the application should include a discussion and analysis on how that decision was made. Reference to use of heat balance design software, simulation modeling, and details on the exact version of the computer software(s) used, considered, or relied on, should be included in the application. Please include a detailed analysis of alternate cooling systems considered in terms of economics and all other constraints.
Response: NYPA has evaluated a number of generation options and has performed production cost simulation modeling to establish the most cost effective design. Results of this investigation will be included in the Article X application.
Comment 47: Information is needed regarding decommissioning of the facility. A decommissioning plan is to be included. The decommissioning plan would be the basis to determine the decommissioning costs required to return the site to its pre- construction condition.
Response: The Article X Application will provide a decommissioning plan.
Comment 48: The application should include a study of gas supply, capacity, and system impact.
Response: The Article X Application will provide a study of gas supply, capacity and system impact.
