• Two (2) paper copies (one with original signature) of each complete permit application may be mailed to the address below. [note: applications for major source permitting (such as PSD) may require submittal of additional copies. Contact New Source Review for guidance.]

NOTE: The submittal of paper copies in addition to IMPACT portal submissions may result in unintentional duplication of applications and may delay application processing.

Fee Information

Once an application is filed, applicants are billed an hourly rate to cover the division’s time spent processing and reviewing their applications. The rate is a minimum fee of $75 per hour. Also, a minimum standard $500 initial fee is charged to each application to cover the initial processing and administrative costs. The fee is not due until the Division issues an invoice. The standard fee does not cover the reviewing staff member’s time nor additional time the division may spend coordinating meetings with impacted federal land managers, hosting a public hearing or responding to comments/concerns received during the public comment period.

Public Notice Process for New Source Review Permitting Actions

After a permit application has been reviewed and the Air Quality Administrator has reached a proposed decision to approve or disapprove the request, the Division of Air Quality, in accordance with the Wyoming Air Quality Standards and Regulations, will advertise such proposed decision in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the source is proposed.  This advertisement will indicate the general nature of the proposed facility, the proposed approval/disapproval of the permit, and a location in the region where the public might inspect the information submitted in support of the requested permit and the Air Quality Division’s analysis of the effect on air quality.  The public will be afforded a 30-day period in which to make comments and recommendations to the Division of Air Quality.

The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality is now posting electronic copies of the Air Quality Division’s public notice, permit application analysis, and permit application on the Department’s web site for convenience and ease of access.  Electronic copies of the public notice, permit application analysis, and permit application will be available on this web page through the duration of the public comment period.  They will be removed after the comment period closes.
