Air Quality: Docket No. 58-0101-2602

The Department of Environmental Quality is initiating a negotiated rulemaking to revise its air permitting fee structure to better reflect current program costs and ensure long-term sustainability of the permitting program. The negotiated rulemaking process is intended to update the application and processing fees for new and modified facilities seeking a permit and will add an annual fee for existing non-Title V facilities. The proposed fee revisions are intended to account for inflation and to reduce program reliance on the State General Fund for permitting and compliance activities for non-Title V facilities.
