Saugerties, Ulster CountyProject Description:
The New York Division of Vertis Inc. produces advertising inserts and other printed materials for commercial use. The facility operates five heatset and two coldest web offset lithographic printing presses. Supporting operations include pre-press, a scrap paper recovery and baling system, a labeling operation, and a bindery.VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions from the heatset presses are controlled by natural gas fired catalytic oxidizers. Particulate emissions from the scrap paper recovery system are controlled by two cyclones and a bag filter unit.
Presently, the facility is designated as a major source of air pollution. The Air State Facility Permit will limit VOC emissions from the facility to 40.89 tons per year, in order to stay below the major source threshold of 50 tons per year. Thus, the facility will no longer be subject to the requirements of Title V of the Federal Clean Air Act. The facility will track usage of VOC containing materials to demonstrate compliance with the VOC limit.
Persons wishing to inspect the subject files, including the application with all relevant supporting materials, the Draft Permit, and all other materials available to the DEC (the "permitting authority") that are relevant to this permitting decision should contact the DEC representative listed below.
