Ephrata Landfill, Grant County

Air Operating Permit

Aug. 26, 2025, 12 a.m. - Sept. 29, 2025, 11:59 p.m. PT

We propose to approve Ephrata Landfill's air operating permit (AOP).

Ephrata Landfill applied for an air operating permit for their site located at 3808 Neva Lake Road, Ephrata, in Grant County. The landfill started receiving municipal waste in 1942. Because of recent site expansion, the facility's increased design capacity now requires an air operating permit.

Documents for review

We determined this proposal satisfies the requirements of Chapter 173-401 WAC. We plan to approve the air operating permit.

To comment or request an online public hearing, use one of the ways listed below by September 29, 2025. A request for an online public hearing must include the interest of the person making the request and why a public hearing is needed. We will hold an online public hearing if there is significant public interest.

To find out if there are more records for this project, contact Ecology’s Public Records Office.

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.
