New York City Transit
Coney Island Rail Yard Boiler Plant Upgrade
Draft Public Participation Plan
Introduction
New York City Transit (NYCT), an agency of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority
(MTA), is proposing to replace three existing boilers located at the Coney Island Rail
Yard in Brooklyn, New York. The existing dual-fuel fired boilers (natural gas and #2 fuel
oil) are old and beyond repair. In fact, two of the three existing boilers have failed as they
are beyond their useful life, and are inoperable. As a result, the boiler plant is currently
being supplemented by a temporary portable boiler. NYCT would replace the existing
boilers with three new factory-built dual-fuel fired 24.5 million BTU/hour rated boilers (2
operating, 1 spare). The proposed new units have higher energy efficiency, lower
emissions and higher reliability.
The goals of the project are supportive of Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s goals for New
York City outlined in PlaNYC, and include:
x
Decreasing CO2, particulate, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions;
x
Improving local air quality; and
x
Achieving energy efficiencies and cost savings.
The project is currently in the process of finalizing the construction contract for the
installation of the new boilers. During the construction period, a 24.5 million BTU/hour
rated temporary boiler and a 32.7 million BTU/hour rated temporary portable boiler
would be used to provide the heat and steam needed at the yard. Once the permanent
boilers are installed and being operating, the temporary and portable boilers would be
shut down and removed from the site. Construction and equipment installation is slated to
begin in mid-2012 with the startup of the new replacement boilers targeted for the Fall of
2012. This Public Participation Plan (PPP) is part of NYCT’s permitting application to
the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) to modify
the existing Title V Facility Air Permit to include the operation of the three new
permanent boilers as well as the temporary and portable boilers to be used at the Coney
Island Rail Yard boiler plant during the construction and installation of the new
permanent boilers. In accordance with Commissioner Policy-29 Environmental Justice
and Permitting (CP-29), NYSDEC requires the permit applicant to develop and execute a
public participation plan targeting the local community, and conduct outreach as part of
the environmental permit review process.
In contrast to the existing boilers, which do not have an NOx permit cap, the potential
NOx emissions from the new replacement boilers would be capped to 24.5 tons/year. In
addition, the new boilers will be equipped with low- NOx burners and will comply with
all applicable air quality regulations and requirements. Total CO2 emissions from the new
boilers will be less than the 25,000 metric tons per year GHG reporting threshold, and
much less than the 100,000 tons per year Prevention of Signification Determination
(PSD)/Title V threshold.

Draft Public Participation Plan
Public Participation Plan
The draft PPP for this permit application includes a number of activities and tasks that
will be undertaken to inform stakeholders about the proposed project and the Title V
Permit Modification being sought from NYSDEC. This will provide stakeholders access
to information about the project and permit and encourage dialogue.
Task # 1 -- Identify Affected Area
Because of the project’s location (in the existing Boiler House, off of Shell Road
within the larger NYCT Coney Island Rail Yard transit property in Brooklyn), a 1mile radius from the proposed boiler replacement site has been selected in
consultation with NYSDEC staff, to ensure that outreach to an appropriate area and
interested entities (stakeholders) is undertaken. This is shown in Figure 1, attached.
This area will serve as an initial component in identifying stakeholders. Particular
emphasis will be placed on identifying stakeholders representing the area’s minority
and low-income populations for outreach during the public participation process.
Within this 1-mile radius of the proposed project site lies the entire Coney Island Rail
Yard facility, an approximately 1-mile section of the Belt Parkway, and portions of
the following Brooklyn neighborhoods: Homecrest in the northeastern portion,
Gravesend in the northwestern portion, Brighton Beach in the southeastern portion,
and Coney Island in the southwestern portion. South of the Belt Parkway and west of
Ocean Parkway, the Coney Island portion of the study area is largely characterized by
auto-related and parking uses, and residential uses. The Luna Park Houses are in this
area, comprising a 5-building Mitchell-Lama residential cooperative complex of
almost 1,600 apartments, making it one of the largest Mitchell Lama developments in
the state. Additional large tracts of residential uses are located in the southwestern
portion of the study area, including housing operated by the New York City Housing
Authority (NYCHA). NYCT operates a subway along Stillwell Avenue. The
communities of Homecrest, Gravesend, and Brighton Beach are largely residential.
Task #2 -- Identify Stakeholders and Create an Outreach Contact List
Stakeholders who may be affected by the operation of the upgraded boiler plant at the
NYCT Coney Island Rail Yard will be identified. This will be done in coordination
with Community Board representatives and with input from NYCT. It is expected
that the stakeholders for this plan will include, but may not be limited to:
•
•
•
•
•
Final Draft
NYCT employees who work at or visit portions of the Coney Island Rail Yard
facility,
Residents/neighborhood groups who reside or are active in the vicinity of the
proposed project
Community boards, local community and civic organizations, environmental
and business groups, and any entities recommended by these groups
Neighborhood religious establishments

•
Other appropriate state and local government officials.
A preliminary outreach contact list of stakeholders is being assembled, including
names, addresses, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses (if available) of
individuals and organizations (as described above) with a possible interest in the
proposed project. This list will be updated regularly to include new stakeholders
identified as the public participation process continues. The preliminary outreach
contact list that has been developed to date for this plan is included in Attachment A.
Task #3 -- Prepare Written Information
Written information on the proposed action and the environmental permit review
process will be prepared for posting and distribution. The following written materials
will be prepared and made available to the public as part of this outreach effort:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Project Fact Sheet (An outline of the contents of the Fact Sheet has been
developed, and is included in the draft PPP as Attachment B.)
Information Availability Notices
Title V Permit Modification Application
Draft Title V Modification Permit
Environmental Justice Analysis
Draft Public Participation Plan
Prepared materials will be written in clear, concise language, avoiding legal or overly
technical terminology. Materials will be prepared in English; translation into Spanish
will be undertaken if necessary, to the extent possible and practical.
Task #4 -- Establish Document Repositories/Distribute Project Information
Easily accessible public Document Repositories will be established at locations close
to the proposed project and easily accessible to stakeholders. It is anticipated that
these will include local Libraries and Community Board offices in or near the
outreach area (defined above), as well as at the Coney Island Rail Yard facility office,
and postings on the MTA-NYCT website (http://www.mta.info/nyct). The proposed
locations of these repositories are shown in Attachment C. The availability of any
additional public Document Repositories, if they are established, will be noted on
NYCT website, when they become active.
The repositories will contain a copy of the written information prepared for the
proposed project’s PPP, (as outlined above in Task #3) as well as copies of the permit
applications, and draft permits, once they are available. The contents of the
repositories will be checked and updated regularly to ensure that no documents are
missing. A list of document contents will be prepared and updated, to help keep the
repositories organized.
The locations and web address of the physical and web-based Document Repositories
will be included in the Project Fact Sheet and in any project notices and/or flyers
distributed publicly.
Final Draft
~3~
April 2012
New York City Transit
Coney Island Yard Boiler Plant Upgrade
Draft Public Participation Plan
It is envisioned that information will be distributed or made available to NYCT staff
by the following means: i) an official memorandum would be circulated at the Coney
Island Rail Yard facility containing a brief explanation of the project to provide
information to on-site staff; and ii) flyers could be posted in employee meeting and
notice areas. With the implementation of these measures, adequate notification would
be provided to NYCT Coney Island Rail Yard staff to learn about the proposed
project, and thus afford them the opportunity to provide comments.
Task #5 -- Conduct Public Information Meeting/Informational Briefings
One Public Information Meeting will be held at a publicly accessible location in the
outreach area to provide information about the proposed boiler replacement and
upgrade project, and the associated NYSDEC permitting process. In addition, project
information will be sent to elected officials and the Brooklyn Community Boards, to
provide information about the proposed Coney Island Rail Yard Boiler Plant Upgrade
project and the associated NYSDEC permitting process. Stakeholders will also be
invited to the Public Information Meeting and will be invited to provide comments on
project materials and the draft PPP, in writing to a specified NYCT representative.
NYCT and consultant team staff members will be available to receive and answer
questions about the project at the Public Information Meeting and/or at any project
briefings held.
The meeting (and any briefings requested) will be scheduled after consulting
Community Board calendars and with municipal and agency officials. This will help
to avoid conflicts with important meetings or events that are regularly held or already
scheduled within the community. The Public Information Meeting will be held after
the draft permit application has been submitted to NYSDEC for review.
Meeting logistics will be publicized approximately ten (10) days ahead of the meeting
date, in order to give stakeholders reasonable notification.
A general mailing will be prepared for the project for delivery to all interested parties
on the Contact List (see Attachment A). This mailing will include Project Notices
announcing the project’s Public Information Meeting, as well as a copy of the Project
Fact Sheet (written in English and Spanish), which will also be sent to the local
organizations and all other stakeholders identified on the Contact List for posting at
those locations. These Project Information Notices will include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Final Draft
the name of the project sponsor;
the name and address of the proposed project;
a brief description about the project information available for review;
the description of why the project information is being sent;

questions they may have after the meeting has concluded. Outreach documents
related to this boiler replacement and upgrade project will be available at the
following website:
http://www.mta.info/nyct
Task #6 - Prepare Participation Plan Outreach Summary/Certification Document
A written summary of the outreach conducted under the PPP will be prepared and
submitted to the NYSDEC. This report will serve as the participation plan’s
Certification Document, and will include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
A summary of PPP milestones, outlining plan implementation;
Methods used to engage the public and solicit outreach;
