2. Prepare a Project Fact Sheet

   To help ensure that Environmental Justice (EJ) populations are notified that you are seeking an air permit with the potential to affect them, and are meaningfully involved in the agency review process, MassDEP is directing you to submit along with your Emission Control Plan application a draft two- to four-page Fact Sheet providing details about your proposed project and neighboring communities.

   Please review the documents below to learn more about completing this step, and to review examples of previously submitted Fact Sheets.
