AQMD has developed a number of programs that will assist policymakers in
making appropriate environmentally friendly decisions such as:
Asbestos Notification
AQMD Rule 1403 establishes
notification and work practice requirements to limit asbestos emissions from
building demolition and renovation activities. State law requires that a
copy of the asbestos demolition
notification form be provided to Building and Safety personnel
prior to the issuance of a demolition permit. Local governments are
responsible for the asbestos notification process.
Building and Safety
Permit Checklist
Government Code Section 65850.2 prohibits cities from issuing an occupancy
permit to a business without clearance from the local air quality agency.
Cumulative Impacts
A comprehensive strategy to reduce the impacts of sources near residences,
schools, or other sensitive receptors.
Fleet Rules and Funding Programs
Public vehicle fleets are subject to
special requirements which may require the acquisition of
low-emission vehicles during normal fleet turnover purchases and leases.
This may also affect their contractors' service vehicles.
Funding programs are available to help offset the costs of vehicle
replacement/re-powering/retrofitting for the reduction of emissions.
Guidance Document for Addressing Air
Quality Issues
in General Plans and Local Planning
AQMD worked with local government agencies to develop a draft
Guidance Document for Addressing Air Quality Issues in General Plans and
Local Planning, which city and county governments may voluntarily
incorporate into their General Plans.
Localized Significance Thresholds
Localized Significance Thresholds are tools developed for public agencies to use when preparing CEQA or NEPA
environmental analysis to determine whether a project may generate
significant adverse localized air quality impacts.
Permit and Compliance Assistance
Small Business
Assistance Program
Small Business Assistance staff are available to help public agencies and
businesses obtain permit, compliance and funding information.
