Permitting Division
The Imperial County APCD established its permitting program to help protect the public and the environment from harmful air pollutants. Permitting engineers review and inspect stationary sources to determine the level of controls necessary to control emissions from all sources in Imperial County, other than emissions deriving from motor vehicles. The permitting program helps ensure that state and federal ambient air quality standards are achieved and maintained within all areas affected by emission sources in Imperial County.
A person/entity must obtain a valid operating permit, through ICAPCD before any person/entity builds, erects, alters, replaces, operates, or uses any article, machine, equipment or other contrivance which may cause the issuance of air contaminants.
Please contact the Permitting & Engineering Division regarding your operation and emission source, as other fees may apply. In addition, please review the Rule 301 and Rule 302 schedules on the Rules and Regulations tab for more information.

The Assembly Bill 2588 Program established a process to compile an inventory of air toxics emissions from specified facility categories in California and to assess the potential risks to public health as a result of exposure to those emissions. AB 2588 specifies activities that California Air Resources Board (CARB), Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), and the local air districts must carry out to implement the Act.
Imperial County APCD is committed to reporting annual reports of these efforts:
