This includes NOCs issued by SRCAA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If no other permitting authority for your project has required that a <a href=\"https:\/\/spokanecleanair.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Environmental-Checklist.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SEPA checklist<\/a> be submitted as part of an application, SRCAA will require the submittal of a checklist as<br>part of your NOC application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please remember to fill out the whole checklist. Many times, \u201cnot applicable\u201d is an appropriate answer. The applicant should review all documents for previous projects at the site as SRCAA may be able to issue an addendum to an existing SEPA determination. If no previous determination can be found for your site and no other permitting agency issues a determination for your project SRCAA will review the submitted checklist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If SRCAA determines there are no discernable impacts from your project, SRCAA will issue a determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) for your project. If SRCAA issues a DNS, a SEPA fee ($500) will be invoiced when your NOC is issued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It should be noted that as part of issuance of a DNS, a 14-day public notice in the legal section of a local paper may be required and is paid by the applicant. Your SRCAA permitting engineer will notify you if this is a necessary step for your project.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Applying for a Notice of Construction (NOC) Permit Prior to constructing, installing, replacing, and\/or modifying air contaminant sources, emissions units or air pollution control equipment in Spokane County, the owner\/operator must file an application for Notice of Construction (NOC) approval with our agency.
