The Maricopa County Air Quality Department’s enforcement division is responsible for settling Notices of Violation issued for alleged air quality violations within Maricopa County.  Enforcement action taken on local companies violating clean air rules and regulations will be published by the department on a monthly basis. 

 

If you see an air quality violation, you are encouraged to call the Air Quality Department at 602-372-2703.  You may also report a violation on our website.  Remember to provide as much detail as possible including location of the violation, date, time and information on what you see. 

 

How to read the table: The “Notes” column ties the alleged air quality violation to air pollution control rules and regulation numbers.  Details on those rule numbers may be found on our website: http://www.maricopa.gov/aq/divisions/planning_analysis/Default.aspx. 

 

Trackout is defined as dust or material that may adhere to and form into a mass on the surfaces of motor vehicles, haul trucks and/or equipment (including tires) and such material has fallen or been deposited onto a paved area accessible to the public. Trackout includes carryout, spillage and/or erosion.
