AIR QUALITY TITLE V OPERATING PERMIT AND
GENERAL PERMIT FOR MARRIOTT WARDMAN PARK HOTEL
Notice is hereby given that Marriott Wardman Park Hotel has applied for a Title V air quality permit pursuant to the requirements of Title 20 of the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations, Chapters 2 and 3 (20 DCMR Chapters 2 and 3) to operate three 29.29 MMBTU/hr dual fuel (natural gas and No. 4 fuel oil) boilers, three emergency generators, one diesel fire pump, a carpentry shop paint booth, and several miscellaneous/insignificant activities at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, located at 2660 Woodley Road NW, Washington DC 20008. The contact person for the facility is William Scott Johnson, Director of Engineering, at 202-328-5681.
With the potential to emit approximately 76 tons per year of nitrogen oxides and 407 tons per year of sulfur dioxide, the facility has the potential to emit greater than the District’s major source thresholds of 25 tons per year of nitrogen oxides and 100 tons per year of sulfur dioxide. Therefore, the facility is classified as a major source of air pollution and is subject to 20 DCMR Chapter 3.
The District Department of the Environment (DDOE) has reviewed the permit application and related documents and has made a preliminary determination that the applicant meets all applicable air quality requirements promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the District. Therefore, draft permit #025-R2 has been prepared.

Copies of the draft permit and a fact sheet are available at http://ddoe.dc.gov/service/public-notices-hearings.
