Air quality notice of construction application – Opportunity to request a public comment period

June 17, 2024, 12 a.m. - July 8, 2024, 11:59 p.m.

We propose to approve H5 Data Centers' air quality notice of construction (NOC) application. We will hold a public comment period if one is requested.

H5 Data Centers – Quincy submitted a notice of construction application to:

  • Reduce the number of permitted emergency generators from 18 to 13.
  • Reduce the number of the cooling tower units from 12 to 9.  Design of 5 new cooling tower units use less water and will have lower emissions.

These changes will reduce the permitted amount of air emissions from the facility located at 1711 M Street NE, in Quincy.

Documents for review

We determined this proposal satisfies the requirements of Chapter 173-400 WAC. We plan to approve the application. We will hold a public comment period on a draft air permit ("approval order") that includes this change if we receive a written request by July 8, 2024.

To request a public comment period, use one of the ways listed below.

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

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.
