The AQMD may conduct inspections of any PERP registered equipment at any
time in order to verify compliance with the applicable requirements.
In accordance with PERP Program requirements, AQMD is required to inspect
all PERP engines and equipment units for which AQMD has been designated as
the "home district":
- within one year of the issuance or renewal
of the registration; and
-
on a three-year basis
The information below outlines the process to
schedule an arranged inspection with AQMD.
Provide Information to AQMD
Owners and operators of registered engines or
equipment units are required to contact AQMD within 45 days of the initial
issuance or renewal of a registration to arrange an inspection.
Download a PERP Appointment Request Form
(doc 96 kb) and submit the
completed form by mail, email to
perp@aqmd.gov, or fax to 909-396-3849.
Receive Confirmation Email
Once an inspection has been
scheduled, AQMD will provide the contact specified in the request confirming the arranged date and time of the inspection.
This form must be signed and returned to AQMD before the inspection can take
place.
Rescheduling
In the event that an arranged
inspection of a registered engine or registered equipment unit must be
rescheduled due to unforeseen circumstances, the owner or operator is
required to:
Unreasonable Actions
The AQMD will make every reasonable effort to accommodate
requested inspection dates; however,
it is essential that the owner or operator put forth equal effort to ensure
that the scheduled inspection occurs as planned. This includes
ensuring that the equipment identified in the inspection request is
available at the location, on the date, and at the time specified in the
request. Further, if an "in-field" inspection has been arranged, the equipment
must be in operation.
Any unreasonable actions on
the part of the owner or operator that prevent the inspection from occurring
within the specified time frame will be deemed a
violation. Actions taken by
the owner or operator that could be deemed "unreasonable" include, but are
not limited to:
failing to respond to the district correspondences or
other contracts made to schedule the inspection;
failing to ensure that the registered engine or equipment
unit is in operation for arranged "in-field inspections," where the
district has provided advance notification to the owner or operator that
the registered engine or equipment unit is required to be observed in
operation.

inspections, contact AQMD by phone at 909-396-2325 or
