Compliance Assistance Hotline


The Compliance Assistance Hotline is designed to answer questions regarding compliance with air quality regulations, including:

  • Do I need a permit for my business?
  • What AQMD rules and permit requirements apply to my business?

The Compliance Assistance Hotline is: 916 874-4884

Facility Review

You may request the AQMD to conduct a Facility Review at your business. This is a non-regulatory inspection conducted by AQMD staff. The purpose of the Facility Review is to provide on-site education to businesses on the particular air quality regulations affecting their operations in order to prevent future violations.

Compliance Assistance Brochures

The AQMD provides several brochures designed to assist businesses, individuals and other interested parties in understanding air quality regulations.

Compliance Education Opportunities

As needed, the AQMD provides programs and/or partners with other agencies to assist businesses in a classroom environment. In these settings business owners and their employees are invited to learn about air quality compliance, the implications of being out of compliance and innovative approaches to pollutant emission reductions. For further information please contact Teresa Jones-Posey at (916) 874-4884 or e-mail tjones-posey@airquality.org.
