DES MOINES – The DNR Air Quality
Bureau has the following draft permits up for review. The permits help protect
Iowans’ health and the air where we live. DNR’s permitting staff review the
applications to ensure facilities comply with state and federal air quality
standards. The public has the right and is encouraged to comment on draft
permits. DNR considers public
comments before finalizing the permits. Submit comments in writing
to the assigned permit writer before 4:30 p.m. on the last day of the public
comment period.
Title
V Operating Permits
Title V Operating permits are
reviewed and re-issued every five years. Facilities with a Title V permit have
the potential to emit large amounts of air pollutants compared to other
facilities. The five-year reviews are a federal requirement and ensure adequate
monitoring is included in the permit. The DNR plans to issue Title V
Operating Permits for the
following facilities. Find permit
