Popular Air Permitting Workshops Added for December

December 1, 2005

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is offering free training seminars to help consultants and businesses who routinely apply for permits better understand how to fill out quality air construction permit applications. The training is also for business development related groups desiring a better understanding of the permitting process. This training will help ensure that business and industry receive permits as quickly as possible utilizing DNR's improved permit turnaround times.

Sessions are limited to 45 participants. Sessions focus on standard air construction permit applications that do not involve Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD). Presentations highlight how to fill out the air construction permit applications, common mistakes found in previously submitted applications, and modeling protocol.
