PUBLIC NOTICE

STATE OF ALASKA

DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION

Alaska Native Tribal health consortium, Alaska Native Medical Center

The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) proposes to issue an Owner Requested Limit approval (ORL) to the Alaska Native Medical Center, under Alaska Statutes 46.14 and regulation 18 AAC 50.

Applicant: Alaska Native Medical Center

Location: 4315 Diplomacy Drive Anchorage, Alaska 99508

Activity: Boilers (3), IC Engines (3).

The Alaska Native Medical Center applied on April 5, 2006. This public notice is for the preliminary ORL renewal only.

Emissions: The potential to emit regulated air pollutants at the stationary source will not exceed 100 tons per year of individual air contaminants. By limiting the emissions, the stationary source avoids the requirement to obtain an air quality control operating permit under AS 46.14.130(b) and 18 AAC 50.326(a).

ADEC Preliminary Review: Based on review of the application, ADEC drafted a preliminary ORL approval for the Alaska Native Medical Center.

Available Information: Copies of ADEC’s preliminary approval are available at the following offices:

ADEC/APP 610 University Avenue, Fairbanks, AK 99709-3643, (907) 451-2132

ADEC/APP 410 Willoughby, Suite 303, Juneau, AK 99801-1795, (907) 465-5100

Opportunity for Public Participation: Notice is also given that any interested person may present written statements relevant to the preliminary ORL within 30 days after the first publication date. Any person may request a public hearing and that hearing will be held if ADEC finds that good cause exists. ADEC will consider all comments received and make any changes ADEC finds beneficial or necessary to assure compliance with 18 AAC 50 or State Law. The final decision to issue or deny the ORL will be made after the close of the public comment period. Written comments will be included in the record if received before 5:00 p.m. April 17, 2008. ADEC complies with Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
