Notice of Public Comment Period

The Office of Air Resources offers an opportunity for public comment regarding its proposal to issue an Emissions Cap for the following stationary source:

Inter-City Contracting, Inc., 127 Limerock Road, Smithfield, RI 02917

Emissions Cap No. 125-2026 for Inter-City Contracting, Inc., is being issued to enforce facility-wide limitations on the emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs). The emissions cap will also reflect the recordkeeping and reporting requirements associated with these emission limitations.

“Operating Permits”, 250-RICR-120-05-29 contains provisions to allow sources to apply for an emissions cap. An emissions cap must be federally enforceable and include some combination of production and/or operational limitations to ensure that emissions are limited by quantifiable and enforceable means. An emissions cap relieves the stationary source from the requirement to obtain an operating permit.

The public comment period for the emissions cap will begin today and continue until 29 April 2026. A virtual public hearing for interested persons will be held if requested by 10 or more persons, or by a governmental subdivision or agency or by an association having not less than 10 members. Any interested person may request that a public hearing be held.

Written comments, to be considered part of the record, or requests for a public hearing must be submitted during the public comment period until 4:00 PM, 29 April 2026, at which time the public comment period will close. Please address written comments or hearing requests to:
