Workshop on Air Emissions Permitting for Business Set for Oct. 8 in Dover
DOVER, Del. – DNREC’s Air Quality Management Section will hold a public workshop 9 a.m. - 3 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 8 at Dover Downs Hotel & Casino on the process and procedures for air emissions permitting for business. Dover Downs is located at 1131 North Dupont Highway (U.S. Route 13) in Dover. The cost of the workshop, materials, continental breakfast and lunch is $50 per person, and registration is required by contacting Penny Gentry at 302-739-9402.
All Delaware facilities with an air emissions source and air pollution control equipment are encouraged to attend the workshop. These include commercial or industrial facilities.
The workshop will provide information on DNREC’s new Value Stream Mapping process and how it helps streamline the air permitting process by including more easy-to-understand forms and instructions and removing wasteful and redundant steps – that can ultimately cut the permit processing time in half. This new process allows facility owners to more effectively plan operational changes.
In addition recent federal and state regulatory requirements for air emissions permits will be presented, and DNREC’s permitting team will be available to answer questions throughout the day.
