The following steps describe AQMD's permitting
process:
- Receipt by AQMD of applicant's Permit to Construct
application
- Review to ensure that information submitted in application
is complete and accurate
- Review to determine that proposed equipment will be built
and operated consistent with AQMD rules, regulations, and policies
- Issuance of Permit to Construct, authorizing applicant to
install equipment (may serve as temporary Permit to Operate under some conditions)
- Construction/installation of equipment by source
- AQMD inspection to verify that equipment has been built and
installed as required by the Permit to Construct, and to confirm that the equipment
operates in compliance with AQMD rules and regulations
- Issuance of Permit to Operate
Permit conditions limit or require specific actions by a source to
ensure:
- Compliance with a rule or regulation
- Keeping emissions within federal New Source Review allowances
- Proper operation of control devices
- Establishment of recordkeeping and reporting mechanisms
- Limiting of toxic emissions
- Control of dust or odors
Compliance with permit conditions
is important
Each instance of noncompliance with a permit
condition can subject a facility to a fine or penalty. It is very important for sources to
thoroughly review the construction and operating permit conditions immediately upon
receipt to ensure that they are correct and that the equipment can be operated in
compliance. To change permit conditions, an appeal must be filed within ten (10) days of
receiving the permit. For more information, contact AQMD Customer Service at (909)
396-2900.
