NOTICE OF APPLICATION TO CONSTRUCT AN AIR POLLUTION SOURCE

The State of Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) has received an application to revise a Notice of Construction (NOC) Approval Order for an existing air pollution source. The Yahoo! Data Center submitted a NOC air quality permit application on October 19, 2015, to revise their existing NOC Approval Order 11AQ-E399 issued on March 28, 2011. The Yahoo! Data Center is located at 1010 Yahoo Way, and 1500 M Street NE, Quincy, Grant County, Washington. A new Yahoo! Data Center (Project Genesis) is included in the NOC application and is located adjacent to the existing Yahoo! Data Center facilities. The NOC application requests a new permit to cover existing Yahoo! Data Center facilities in addition to Project Genesis. After review of the completed NOC application and other information on file with the agency, Ecology has determined that this project proposal will conform to all requirements as specified in Chapter 173-400 WAC.

The Notice of Construction Preliminary Determination, the Second Tier Petition Recommendation, the Notice of Construction application, and other documents related to the project are available for public review at the following locations:

• Online at http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/air/quincydatacenter/
