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

June 9, 2025, 12 a.m. - June 25, 2025, 11:59 p.m. PT

We propose to approve Klickitat Valley Health's air quality notice of construction (NOC) application. We will hold a public comment period if one is requested.

Klickitat Valley Health submitted a notice of construction application for their facility located at 310 Roosevelt Avenue in Goldendale. Klickitat Valley Health proposes to:

  • Install burners for two existing natural gas-fired hot water boilers and one emergency diesel generator
  • Remove two existing emergency diesel generators, two hot water heaters, and a rooftop unit with gas pre-heat

With this change, the facility will have four natural gas-fired boilers, but Klickitat Valley Health will only operate two boilers at a time.

Documents for review

If we determine 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 permit ("approval order") that includes this change if we receive a written request by June 25, 2025.

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.
