We propose to approve Grant County PUD No. 2's Wanapum Dam air quality notice of construction (NOC) application. We will hold a public comment period if we receive a request.
Grant County PUD No. 2 submitted a notice of construction application to install a 1.25 MWe Tier 2 emergency generator at the Wanapum Dam. The dam is located at 14352 WA 243, in Beverly.
Emissions increases by tons per year (tpy) from this project:
- Nitrogren oxides (NOx) 0.63 tpy
- Carbon monoxide (CO) 0.53 tpy
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) 0.01 tpy
- Particulate matter (PM) 0.02 tpy

Background
A notice of construction permit is required before installing a new source of air pollution or modifying an existing source of air pollution. This permit is sometimes called a "pre-construction permit" because a business must have one before starting construction or operating their business.
A notice of construction air permit limits the amount of air pollutants a business can emit.
