**The air permit search page has changed! Due to website infrastructure changes, the air permit search webpage is no longer available. The Ohio EPA eDocument System must now be used to search for air permits online.

The permits available through the Ohio EPA eDocument Search are provided in PDF format. These electronic files are being provided as a courtesy to the public and regulated community to aid in access to permit application information. Please contact the appropriate district office or local air agency concerning any questions you have regarding the contents of the permit files. These permit documents have been issued from various systems since the late 1990s. Therefore, you may see representative text of what was actually issued (newer permits are presented this way), an error in the conversion of a very old electronic records (e.g., from Word Perfect to PDF), conversion of representative text from data fields or the facility-specific portions of the permit as it was issued at the time of issuance; all issues that may not fully reflect the complete actual issued document at the time it was issued. Please contact us if you experience a broken link so that we can fix it.

Please visit our Ohio EPA Help Center for instructions on how to use our eDocument system.

A public notice is published for each draft permit. Public notices are published in the largest newspaper of general circulation (usually in the legal notices section) for the county in which the facility is or is proposed to be located. If no newspaper of general circulation is published in the county, the notice will be published in a newspaper of general circulation in an adjoining county. Check here for a list of general circulation newspapers.

• Official hard copies of permits are available for accurate verification in the Director's Journal.
   
• Unauthorized attempts to alter, or to falsify, or to misuse any information, in whole or in part, contained in the electronic version of these permits are strictly prohibited and may constitute violations under both Ohio and U.S. federal laws. All violations will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law including, but not limited to, prosecution under the following Ohio and federal laws: Ohio Revised Code (ORC) Rule 2913.42 "Tampering with Records," ORC Rule 2913.31 "Forgery," ORC Rule 2913.02 "Theft," ORC Rule 2913.04 "Unauthorized use of property," 18 U.S.C. Section 1030 of the "Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.”

Description of Searchable Fields and General Notes for Permit-by-Rule

General notes:

• You must click the Go button to search the criteria you have entered/selected.
• Combination searches are in the and mode. For example, typing 01-25 in the facility id field and amp in the name field will result in all facilities in Franklin County where the text amp appears somewhere in the facility name.
• All search results columns can be sorted; just click on the column heading. Clicking on a column heading alternates between sorting ascending and descending across all search results. The default search return is by facility ID.
• You can scroll through the search results list by selecting a subset of records from the pick list provided in the lower left area of the search results webpage.
• You can download a Microsoft Excel list of all the search results by clicking on the excel link in the lower left area of the search results webpage.
• The word issued in the context of these search pages is used as a general descriptor of an official version of a permit document as it works its way through various permit stages required by the underlying permitting regulations. So, for example, a Draft Issued permit can be used to submit comments, but cannot be relied upon as the basis to install or operate. Installation and/or operation is only legally authorized by a Final Issued permit.
