Air Permits-by-Rule Construction Permit

Construction permits allow an installation to construct and operate an air emission source. Construction permits are required prior to commencing construction of an emission source and may be obtained by submitting a completed application. Construction may not begin until a construction permit has been issued. In certain cases, an applicant may apply for a pre-construction prohibition waiver to begin construction prior to receipt of the approved permit.

There are several source categories that have the option of applying for a permit by rule rather than a de minimis or minor new source review permit application. The permit by rule application contains conditions of operation. Once the installation accepts these condition and submits the applicable application, the department reviews and quickly issues a permit by rule. At the time of publication, permit by rule was available for the following source categories: printing operations, crematories and animal incinerators, surface coating and livestock markets.
