Listening Sessions on Air Permit Process Improvements

The Air Management Program (Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources) invites you to attend one of four listening sessions on air permit process improvements scheduled for later this month. The Program is seeking public input and ideas on how the application, review and issuance process can be improved for air pollution operation and construction permits.

The meetings will be held as open houses where individuals can attend anytime during the two-hour session to make suggestions, ask questions and have informal conversations with staff. During the early part of the open house, staff will make a presentation on the air permit application process and discuss improvement ideas that the Program is already considering.

A meeting notice with more details including the dates, times and locations of these sessions is here:
