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 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, video training modules to guide an applicant through important parts of the application, and links to a variety of other technical guidance.
Video tutorials include:
Module 1:? Introduction to Air Pollution Regulatory Agencies
This introductory module sets the stage for the permitting authority EGLE?s Air Quality Division has and how the Division works with other agencies.
Module 2:? Key Air Quality Concepts and Terms
This important module lays the groundwork for the remaining lessons by defining key terms and concepts. These terms and concepts are used throughout the remaining modules and being familiar with them will aid in understanding.
