Overview
The South Coast AQMD has been a pioneer in developing and implementing a wide range of permit streamlining measures. In the early 1990s, the South Coast AQMD developed several innovative measures to promote permit streamlining and other customer service programs, some of which were incorporated into state law (California Health and Safety Code Section 42320 et seq) and made mandatory for state-wide implementation. In 1998, the Governing Board Chairman announced a new Permit Streamlining Initiative to further improve permitting efficiency. In April 1998, the Permit Streamlining Task Force (PSTF) subcommittee, including Governing Board members, industry representatives, local government representatives, environmental groups, and South Coast AQMD staff, was launched to brainstorm new ways to expedite permitting and improve customer service. In June 2016, the South Coast AQMD embarked on an aggressive effort to expeditiously reduce its pending permit application inventory. To assist with this effort and improve permit processing efficiency, South Coast AQMD’s Board approved an action plan that includes measures to help optimize use of current resources as well as opportunities to modernize and automate permit processing. A dashboard tool was developed to track progress in reducing the pending permit application inventory and help communicate the age of pending applications.
