Boise Cascade Arden Lumber, Colville

Boise Cascade applied to renew the air operating permit for their Arden Lumber facility located at 634 Highway 395 South, Colville, in Stevens County. The facility processes lumber for commercial use. Sawmill operations include:  lumber manufacturing, lumber drying kilns, natural gas and hogged fuel boilers, cyclones, baghouses, storage piles, and wood waste handling systems.

There are no changes to the facility's emissions, equipment, operations, or air operating permit ("approval order") since the last permit renewal.

Background

Commercial and industrial businesses that emit large amounts of air pollution are required to get an air operating permit. An air operating permit is a master document that lists all of the air pollution requirements that apply to a business or industry. We issue these permits, along with other clean air agencies in Washington.
