IDEM's notice says it has received an application from FN Chairs LLC, at 2175 W 450 S, LaGrange, to renew the federally enforceable state operating permit issued to it on May 5, 2022. If approved, the renewal would let the company continue to operate. The notice says the draft permit contains no new equipment that would emit air pollutants, and that some conditions from earlier permits have been corrected, changed or removed, which the notice says may include Title I changes (e.g., changes that add or modify synthetic minor emission limits).

What the document does not contain

The notice gives no dates. The comment window, 17 September to 17 October 2026, comes from IDEM's public notice listing, where the notice is posted. The notice says some conditions from earlier permits have been corrected, changed or removed, but it does not say which; those are in the draft permit, which the notice says is at the LaGrange County Public Library's main branch and in IDEM's Virtual File Cabinet.
