Air quality notice of construction application – Opportunity to request a public comment period
May 8, 2024 - May 23, 2024, 11:59 p.m.
We propose to approve Darigold Pasco’s air quality notice of construction (NOC) application. We will hold a public comment period if one is requested.
Darigold submitted a notice of construction application for their facility located at 8201 North Railroad Avenue, in Pasco. They are requesting to replace three previously-permitted large (2,500 kW each) emergency generators with two smaller (450 kW each) emergency generators. All generators use natural gas as a fuel source. This change will result in reduced potential emissions for the facility.
Documents 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 May 23, 2024.
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.
