NOC Review Process

What is a Notice of Construction and Application for Approval?

The Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency Regulation I, Article V, requires that a Notice of Construction (NOC) permit application be submitted and approved prior to the construction, installation, establishment, replacement or modification of air pollution sources, emissions units or air pollution control equipment in Spokane County. These new air pollution sources and modifications to existing sources include equipment associated with any stationary or portable device or any part of such a device that emits or has the potential to emit any air contaminant into the atmosphere.

What information must be submitted with an application?
The application should be submitted on the Notice of Construction and Application for Approval form provided by Sookane Clean Air. The application should describe the air contaminant source, any connected equipment, and be accompanied by:

• a set of plans that fully describes the proposed source, including distance and height of buildings within 200 feet of the source,
• the estimated emissions that will result from the proposal, or sufficient information for Spokane Clean Air to calculate the expected emissions,
• the proposed means for control of emissions,
• the base fee, and
• a SEPA checklist

In addition, Spokane Clean Air may require additional information to demonstrate that the proposed source will meet the regulatory requirements.
