The Air Quality Community Learning Session on August 27, 2025 was an in-person event for residents, local organizations, and other interested parties to learn about the work of the Air Quality Division. About 25 community members attended. The event began with an open house with resource tables staffed by EGLE AQD staff. Community organizations also hosted resource tables. Following the open house, EGLE staff presented an overview of the work of AQD. Topics included air quality rules and standards, permitting, air toxics, modeling and monitoring, inspections, and enforcement. Presentations were followed by a question-and-answer session, where staff answered questions asked by attendees.

This webinar covers air permitting. When a company wants to do something that will create air pollution, they must have a permit. The permit limits how much air pollution is allowed. This is to make sure levels meet health-based standards. There is a lot of work that goes into the decision to grant a permit. Comments from the public can influence what is in a final permit. This session walks through a recent air permit. We discussed what the company asked for, how the public made comments, and how the comments improved the permit.
