Public Participation
Public participation is an important part of air quality management. This page lists upcoming air quality-related public hearings, meetings, and notices about draft air quality rules, state implementation and network plans, and permit applications, and provides information about how you can provide public comment on them. Public comment periods are your opportunity to provide
input on air quality decision-making.
Public Hearings
Public hearings for air quality permitting or State Implementation Plan actions will be posted here as they are scheduled. For regulation-related public hearings, please visit the DEP Regulation Tracker web page.
