| An AQMD permit is a written
authorization to build, install, alter, replace, or operate equipment that emits or
controls the emission of air contaminants, like oxides of nitrogen (NOx),
carbon monoxide (CO), fine particulate matter (PM10), oxides of sulfur (SOx),
or toxics.
State and federal clean air regulations mean that air pollution
control permits are a part of doing business in the Basin. Permits ensure that emission
controls meet the need for our region to make steady progress toward achieving and
maintaining federal
and state air quality standards.
To see the current air quality standards, visit the California Air Resources
Board website regarding
California Air
Quality Standards and
Health & Air
Pollution. See also the
list of standards updated 11/29/05 (pdf, 35kb*) by ARB. Also visit the
U. S. Environmental Protection
Agency website.
Answers to typical questions regarding permit requirements and application
submittal procedures may be found on the
Permit Requirements and Application Submittal Procedures page. A
description of AQMD's permitting process is located at
