Continuous Emission Monitoring Service Scope of Work the New York Power Authority Owns and Operates Fourteen Continuous Emission Monitoring Service Scope of Work The New York Power Authority owns and operates fourteen (14) power generating units at nine (9) stations in the New York City Metropolitan area and Long Island. All twelve units have 40 CFR Part 60/75 EPA Certified Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS). The Authority is seeking proposals to provide support services for the operation, maintenance and improvements of the Continuous monitoring Systems currently installed upstream (process) and downstream (stack) of the emission controls of each of the plants. Contractor will perform all maintenance services for each system to ensure proper operation for monitoring emissions from the plants and to achieve compliance and availability performance of 98% for all the stack CEMS according to each site’s Title V Operating Permit. These services will include preventive and corrective maintenance, cleaning and lubrication of equipment, equipment inspections and adjustments in accordance with the relevant compliance standards, the instrument manufacturer recommendations, NYPA’s QA/QC manuals (for each site), and NYPA’s Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Manual. All QA/QC required documentation shall be prepared and filed at each site. Technicians providing the hardware maintenance services must have a minimum of three to five years of experience with dry extractive sample collection systems. Contractor shall comply with all safety and security procedures while onsite and shall provide any required safety equipment (i.e. hard hats, safety glasses safety shoes etc., background checks). Contractor shall comply with all NYPA procedures and policies for the disposal of any wastes generated during the performance of maintenance and repair activities. Facility/Equipment Description: Eugene Zeltman (500 MW Combined Cycle Power Project): The Authority’s Eugene Zeltmann (500 MW) electric generating facility, located in Astoria, Queens consists of two identical General Electric Frame 7FA (Model S207FA) combustion turbines, two unified heat recovery steam Generators (HRSGs and a steam turbine generator. The combustion turbines fire both natural gas and #2 Distillate as its backup fuel. There are two stacks, one for each unit (7A and 7B). Each stack is monitored by certified CEMS with a dry extractive system designed and constructed by CISCO and two upstream CEMS cabinets designed by GE. Downstream sample gas is collected at each stack sample point and is transported to each CEMS located in the shelter through a heated sample line; which consist of two independent stainless steel lines ( one for NOx, CO, O2 and one for Ammonia slip that is converted to NO and NO2 on the stack via heated ammonia converter). Each sample is transported and conditioned for analysis after reaching the shelter. The operation of the plant is typical of a base load and follows the market conditions for the NYC Metro area. Q19-6875JGM NYPA’s Long Island facilities The Authority operates two facilities in Suffolk County, Long Island: Richard M. Flynn CCPP which consists of one Siemens combustion turbine generator, one unfired heat recovery steam generator and one steam turbine generator. The combustion turbine fires natural gas as the primary fuel and can also fire ULSD for up to forty days per year. There’s one stack with a one-point CEMS dry extractive system and a COMS. The Brentwood facility consists of one natural gas fired GE LM 6000 simple cycle combustion turbine with its own stack which is monitored by certified CEMS with a dry extractive system designed by KVB Enertec. Sample gas is collected at each stack sample point and is transported to each CEMS located in the shelter through a heated sample line; which consist of two independent stainless steel lines (one for NOx, CO, O2 and one for Ammonia slip monitoring that is converted to NO and NO2 on the stack via heated ammonia converter). Each sample is transported and conditioned for analysis after reaching the shelter. Small Clean Power Plants: The Authority’s Small Clean Power Plants (SCPPs) consist of natural gas fired GE LM 6000 simple cycle combustion turbines. Four facilities are double units onsite and the three are single unit sites. All units have its own stack which is monitored by certified CEMS with dry extractive systems designed by KVB Enertec. Sample gas is collected at each stack sample point and is transported to each CEMS located in the shelter through a heated sample line; which consist of two independent stainless steel lines (one for NOx, CO, O2 and one for Ammonia slip monitoring that is converted to NO and NO2 on the stack via heated ammonia converter). Each sample is transported and conditioned for analysis after reaching the shelter. Data is collected by CEMTEK SEAL Boxes supported by NetDAHS software as the reporting tool. All units are located in the NYC boroughs of The Bronx, Queens Brooklyn and Staten Island and are usually operated as peaker-like generating facilities. * Q19-6875JGM Schedule of Services: 1.

    Post Office Box 265 The Bronx, New York 10464-0265 www.bceq.org April 10, 2015 Steve A. Watts NYSDEC Region 2 Headquarters 47-40 21st St Long Island City, NY 11101 [email protected] Re: NYC MS4, Application ID: 2-6500-00058/00001 under Permits(s) Applied for: 1 - Article 17 Titles 7 & 8 Industrial SPDES - Surface Discharge Dear Mr. Watts, We write to comment on the above stated changes recently proposed. The Bronx Council for Environmental Quality, is a non-profit 501(c)3 membership organization located in NYC’s only mainland borough — The Bronx. We are a diverse collection of individuals all seeking to leave a future with better air, land, and water quality than we have at present. Since 1971, BCEQ has sought “to establish — as an Inherent Human Right — a sound, forward-looking environmental policy regarding an aesthetic, unpolluted, environment protecting a natural and historic heritage.” We focus on the Bronx, Harlem, Hudson, Hutchinson and East Rivers, as well as the Westchester Creek, Long Island Sound, and Bronx Kill. While we appreciate your work on this permit and the changes from last year’s comments, it is still too little too late. 1. The Public. Do you have any idea of how difficult it is to discuss water quality with people and what they have to do to protect it? It is clear that everyone wants clean water. What is not clear is the administrative presentation (CSO, MS4, Stormwater, SWMP, Direct Discharge) and barriers agencies pose to protect their own jurisdiction. While that may be helpful for the agencies, it is not for the public.

  • New York's Post Industrial Waterfront: a Lesson in Environmental Gentrification and Environmental Inequality
    New York's Post Industrial Waterfront: A Lesson in Environmental Gentrification and Environmental Inequality Kara Murphy Schlichting Department of History, Queens College, City University of New York In 2011, Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that New York City had six boroughs: Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, of course, but he counted the city’s 520-mile long waterfront as well. Bloomberg encouraged New Yorkers to imagine this space as a single unit of public space (Barrett 2016; New York City Department of Planning 2011). In the twenty-first century, the industrial past had finally given way to a reconfigured shoreline of green amenities. Figure 1. The East River at Brooklyn Bridge Park, 2019. Source: Caroline Culler, “View of Brooklyn Bridge Park from Manhattan Bridge,” photograph, 28 June 2019. (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:View_of_Brooklyn_Bridge_Park_from_Manhat tan_Bridge.jpg) But what of the city’s postindustrial waterfronts that have not gentrified? The South Bronx shoreline along the Harlem River is one such space. While Bloomberg’s administration courted environmental gentrification on the East River waterfronts of Queens and Brooklyn, the South Bronx did not experience a similar transformation. The concept of political ecology posits that there is an essential relationship between political, economic, and social factors and environmental issues. Building on this framework, I examine environmental gentrification, or the lack thereof, as a function of political ecology (Swyngedouw 1996). Postindustrial 1 interpretations of the Harlem River’s environment reveal the importance of ideas of nature— both polluted and reclaimed—in the rebuilding of New York’s waterfront. Figure 2. The Harlem River, 1973.

  • New York City Football Club
    42 | Harlem River Yards New York City Football Club NEW YORK CITY FOOTBALL CLUB (NYCFC) is a professional soccer team, based in New York City, and competing in Major League Soccer’s Eastern Conference. It was announced as the League’s 20th franchise on May 21, 2013 and is the first and only Major League Soccer Club located within the five boroughs of New York City. Majority owned by City Football Group, which is in turn majority owned by H.H. Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, New York City FC plays its home games at Yankee Stadium. The iconic ballpark is also home to minority owner, the New York Yankees. In acquiring the franchise, City Football Group demonstrated to Major League Soccer the following key qualities • BELIEF IN US SOCCER - recognizing the unique, stand-alone investment opportunity in one of the most rapidly growing football markets in the world; • PASSION FOR THE CITY OF NEW YORK - building a soccer club in the heart of one of the world’s greatest cities which currently has no soccer team within any of the five boroughs; • STRONG CONFIDENCE IN MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER as a well-run league that continues to grow and compete with many of the leading soccer leagues in Europe and around the world. In 2010, Manchester City FC, also owned by City Football Group, built a rooftop soccer pitch at PS72 (East Harlem’s Lexington Academy), and in 2013, New York City FC was officially launched on that same pitch. Since then, the first-of- its-kind, synthetic grass pitch has provided hundreds of young people a safe place to play soccer, and City has proudly served more than 30,000 young people to date across the five boroughs.
