County briefed on air‑quality permitting: approvals, public comment and typical timelines
Summary
County presenters told commissioners Midas would need an approval order (air‑quality permit) from the Utah Department of Air Quality, that the process includes engineering review and public comment, and that permitting typically takes 150–200 days; Title V operating permits may be required and renewed every five years.
Steve Hadfield (speaker 5) told commissioners that the Utah Department of Air Quality informed the county that Midas is not exempt from permitting and would have to file an application for an approval order equivalent to an air‑quality permit.
Hadfield said the department would perform an engineering review, there would be a public comment period and a public hearing could be requested; the process typically takes 150–200 days. He also said, depending on the equipment installed, a Title V operating permit could apply and would require renewal every five years. Hadfield added that the Division of Drinking Water and Division of Water Quality oversee separate processes for drinking water and discharges and that those reviews include public notice and public‑record documents.
Hadfield's presentation framed permitting as a multi‑agency public process with opportunities for technical review and community input.
