Breakdowns
When equipment unexpectedly fails and results in a violation of a Sac Metro Air District rule or permit condition, breakdown relief is available, provided certain conditions are met.
You must notify the Sac Metro Air District of a breakdown condition within one hour of discovery for it to be considered for breakdown relief. Please call 279-207-1122 or 800-880-9025 24 hours a day to report a breakdown. Breakdowns must be reported on the approved Breakdown Reporting Form.
A Sac Metro Air District inspector will immediately investigate the reported breakdown condition and will provide information on the timeline for repairing and reporting the breakdown. The breakdown condition must not persist longer than the end of the production run or 24 hours (whichever is sooner) or 96 hours for continuous emissions monitoring equipment.
For additional information on breakdowns please read Rule 602 Breakdown Conditions: Emergency Variance.
