The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency is providing public notice for a proposed permit for Solie Funeral Home to install and operate a new cremation unit. Operation of this proposed unit will be limited to no more than 1,525 hours per year or 12 hours per day.  Emissions from the facility are expected to be less than 1 ton per year of each regulated pollutant. After installation, the owners of the unit will be required to test for emissions of particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and hexavalent chromium.

PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION

The Agency has completed a review of application No. 12307. Based on this review, the Agency has made a preliminary determination that the proposal meets all the requirements of Regulations I, II, and III, and therefore draft Order No. 12307 should be approved, subject to the conditions in the draft Order.

The Agency, as the lead agency for this proposal, has also made a preliminary determination that the proposal would not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. An environmental impact statement (EIS) is not required under RCW 43.21C.030(2)(c). This decision was made after review of a completed Environmental Checklist and other information on file at the Agency. This information is available to the public upon request. The Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) for this proposal is issued in accordance with WAC 197-11-340(1), WAC 197-11-970, and Puget Sound Clean Air Agency Regulation I, Sections 2.07 and 2.12; Puget Sound Clean Air Agency will not act on this proposal before December 9, 2025.
