Time frames for processing of applications provide more information. Public participation, in the form of newspaper notices, comment periods and possibly a public hearing, is required for major permits and for permits needed to lower the potential to emit below major levels. Permit is issued by regional office. To determine applicability to a source, contact the DEQ Air Division. Some existing sources may need a Title V or other air operating permit.
Registration is transferable to a new owner when written notice is filed before transfer.
Fees are assessed to certain existing major sources under an interim program. The fee charged is based on pollutants actually emitted. Only facilities emitting 100 tons of pollutants per year are affected, and then only if the parent company's statewide emissions exceed 500 tons per year. Contact the appropriate DEQ regional office for your location. Determine whether the source produces emissions subject to the regulations.
