Notice is hereby given that the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) is soliciting comments regarding a proposed air quality construction permit. Beloit Municipal Power Plant has applied for an air quality construction permit in accordance with the provisions of K.A.R. 28-19-300.

Beloit Municipal Power Plant, 215 S. Chestnut St., Beloit, KS 67420, owns and operates a municipal power plant located at 215 S. Chestnut St., Beloit, Mitchell County, KS 67420, at which the facility is electing to take federally enforceable limits regarding operations in order to stay below the major source thresholds, thereby, allowing the facility to apply for Class II status when the current Class I Operating Permit expires.
