Lamb Weston, Pasco
Air quality notice of construction application
Aug. 24, 2026, 12 a.m. - Sept. 30, 2026, 11:59 p.m. PT
We propose to approve Lamb Weston's Pasco air quality notice of construction (NOC) application.
Lamb Weston submitted a notice of construction application for their Pasco plant located at 960 Glade Road. They propose to install advanced wastewater treatment facilities, including a boiler, flare, and emergency engine. The facility will have odor and sulfur controls.
Emission increases from this project include:
- 11.31 tons per year carbon monoxide (CO)
- 7.17 tons per year volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
- 4.46 tons per year sulfur dioxide (SO2)
- 4.31 tons per year of nitrogen oxides (NOx)
- 0.62 tons per year particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5)
Documents for review
- Lamb Weston notice of construction (NOC) application and associated documents
- Lamb Weston draft permit
- Lamb Weston technical support document
We determined this proposal satisfies the requirements of Chapter 173-400 WAC. We plan to approve the application.

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.
