Air

Environment, Health & Safety (EHS), Environmental Permitting and Planning (EP3) manages air permits and emission limits for University of Michigan (U-M) and is the liaison with state and federal regulators regarding all air quality issues.  Rule 201 of the Michigan Air Pollution Control Rules requires a person to obtain an approved Permit to Install for any potential source of air pollution.  The need for a permit depends on the equipment function, size, and fuel type. At U-M, examples include:

  • Coating application booths
  • Boilers
  • Generators
  • Sterilizers
  • Processes that may emit air pollution

Contact EHS, EP3 if a new emissions source, such as the ones listed above, are being installed to review the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy: Air Quality Division – Part 2 Air Use Approval Rules.

Rules:

  • EPA Boiler Notification Requirement – On all projects, regardless of the need for a permit, the Project Manager must contact EHS-EP3 at least one (1) week prior to any boiler start-up (new or modified) to ensure that the U-M complies with 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart DDDDD by submitting an initial notification to the EPA within 15 days of start-up.
