Below is more information regarding these systems.

Public Notices

The Ohio EPA public notices are available on this searchable website. Additionally, public notices are typically published in the Canton Repository newspaper for all of Stark County.

When searching for public notices related to Canton APC activity on the Ohio EPA public notice website, here are some searching tips:

  • Find when a permit is available for public comment
    • Notices are published when a permit application is received, when a draft permit is issued, and when a final permit is issued.
    • Smaller source permits are issued without a comment period. Larger source permits are first issued draft, followed by a 30-day public comment period and potentially a hearing, before any final permit is issued.
    • You should check these resources at least every 30 days.
