What a silly comparison-- have read this several times now Are you seriously comparing the auto emissions with the reported emissions (in part) of the P2O processor?

Do you realize you partly support the regulated pollutant argument? Come now, you hail from a state that has pretty strict emissions requirements...

EPA estimates from data sampled in 2000:
Passenger Car: 575 lbs of CO; 38.2 lbs of NOx
Light Truck: 854 lbs of CO; 55.8 lbs of NOx

P2O estimates @ 80% processing in 2010: 197 lbs CO; 5,677 lbs NOx

There were 2 main arguments and then a branched sub-argument:
1.) Regulated Pollutants? Yes-- absolutely clear despite continued attempts to make it otherwise: http://www.epa.gov/ttncaaa1/t5/meta/m17434.html

2.) Do the regulated pollutants meet the threshold of requiring Title V? No-- clearer with the wording in the amended filings, but was moving in that direction in any case.

3.) If not Title V, then what? State Facility Permit-- there are no other linked NY DEC references to any other permit. This is consistent in all posts on either side of the "pollution" issue.

The last sub-sub- argument is if a comment period is required. If it is not, this will be the 1st State Facility Permit application filed for Region 9 in 2010 that doesn't have one (shortest period is ~ 2 weeks).

If you would like to further a serious/meaningful discussion, please continue
