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

Jan. 29, 2025, 12 a.m. - Feb. 13, 2025, 11:59 p.m. PT

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

Sila Nanotechnologies submitted a notice of construction application for their existing facility located at 3741 Road North, in Moses Lake. Sila requested updates to their existing air quality permit conditions including:

  • Equipment list
  • Natural gas usage
  • Clarification of required performance testing for control equipment

These proposed changes will not increase their air emissions.

Document 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 February 13, 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.
