The University of Montana submitted an application for an Air Quality Permit on April 6, 2011 for the proposed biomass plant addition to the Missoula City-County Health Department. An Air Quality Permit is required prior to construction. The application is available for review at the Missoula County Health Department. Public review and comments regarding the application and the draft air quality permit will be accepted by the Missoula City-County Health Department.
Air dispersion modeling show the emissions from the proposed biomass plant to compliant with the ambient air quality standards for Missoula.

The University is considering converting its current natural gas fired boiler system to a new system which uses forest biomass as its primary fuel. This project has not yet been approved by the Board of Regents. We are seeking comments on the project from UM faculty, staff, students and the citizens of Missoula. Please join us in exploring the project and having your voice heard.
