DO I NEED AN AIR PERMIT?: AN INTRODUCTION TO MICHIGAN AIR PERMITTING, VARIOUS LOCATIONS, MICHIGAN. Do You Need an Air Permit? If you don’t know, then this workshop is for you!    Any business or institution that emits an air contaminant (e.g., particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, volatile organic compounds, and carbon monoxide) outside or inside of a building may be required to obtain an air permit from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Not having an air permit when one is required may result in significant fines and penalties. This workshop is designed to help you determine whether or not an air permit is required for the potential air polluting processes (e.g. boilers, welding stations, and material handling, coating, grinding and degreasing operations) at your facility. This workshop takes the mystery out of air permitting by explaining the ins and outs of permit exemptions and answers some of the frequently asked questions. This workshop also includes a discussion about how to calculate your facility’s potential to emit (PTE) air contaminants. Knowing your PTE is essential to determine whether or not your business is subject to many other federal and state air quality requirements. DEQ Air Quality Division staff will be on hand to provide examples and answer your questions. Don’t miss this opportunity to find out whether or not you need an air permit. Anyone who is responsible for the operation of processes, activities, or equipment capable of emitting air contaminants to the outside air should attend this workshop.Seating is limited so register early! A full brochure and online registration will be available on the Web in late September at www.michigan.gov/deqworkshops, click on “Upcoming DEQ Workshops.” Registration Fee: $50.
