    On November 14, 2018, the State of Indiana Environmental Rules Board adopted rule amendments to 326 IAC 2-1.1-6, 326 IAC 2-7-13, 326 IAC 2-7-17, 326 IAC 2-8-13, 326 IAC 2-8-18, and 326 IAC 2-12-1 (LSA #17-395), concerning legal notice provisions for air permits issued under the NSR and Title V permit programs and other air permits for which newspaper notices are published by IDEM OAQ.  The adopted rule amendments require that IDEM OAQ provide electronic public notices on IDEM’s website as the primary and consistent method for communicating air permit notices to the public. IDEM anticipates that the final (effective) rule amendments will be promulgated on or about March 14, 2019.  The status of these rule amendments (LSA #17-395) and the final effective date will be posted on the following website: https://www.in.gov/idem/legal/2351.htm.

    Until the rule amendments to 326 IAC 2-1.1-6, 326 IAC 2-7-13, 326 IAC 2-7-17, 326 IAC 2-8-13, 326 IAC 2-8-18, and 326 IAC 2-12-1 are promulgated final (effective), IDEM OAQ will publish both newspaper public notices and electronic public notices on IDEM’s website.  Once the rule amendments are promulgated final (effective), IDEM OAQ will no longer publish newspaper public notices and will only publish electronic public notices on IDEM’s website.

    Electronic public notices, including permitting, rulemaking, meeting, and hearing notices, are posted on IDEM’s website at: https://www.in.gov/idem/5474.htm.  Public notices posted on IDEM's webpage will be accessible for the duration of the public comment period.
