EGLE?s Air Quality Division provides new resources for permit applicants

An air permit is needed for any process emitting air pollution. Completing an air permit application can be challenging. The Air Quality Division has created a new webpage [ [link removed] ] highlighting resources to help applicants through the permit application process. Applying for an air permit is not just filling out the application form. A good quality application includes the form and a variety of additional technical information. All of this information, submitted together, creates an administratively complete application. New resources provide details to ensure permit applications are more likely to be considered administratively complete. An administratively complete application can help speed up the permitting timeline for applicants.

The air permit application webpage includes the application form, the Practical Guide to Completing an Air Permit Application [ [link removed] ], video training modules to guide an applicant through important parts of the application, and links to a variety of other technical guidance.
