What Is the Difference Between Permitted and Non-Permitted Equipment?
All operating equipment which requires an AQMD permit, even if applications have not been submitted or written permits yet issued, is considered permitted equipment for Annual Emissions Reporting. Equipment or processes that are not required to have an AQMD permit are considered non-permitted equipment. A list of equipment or processes that are not required to have an AQMD permit can be found in AQMD Rule 219. Equipment/emissions exempt pursuant to Rule 219 must have separate records to clearly demonstrate that the fuels or the materials were used exclusively in non-permitted equipment in order to report the emissions on non-permitted equipment forms (U forms). If you do not have records to clearly document these non-permitted emissions, you must report this information on the permitted equipment forms. You may obtain a copy of AQMD Rule 219 (Equipment not Requiring a Written Permit) by contacting the AQMD Public Information Center at (909) 396-3600 or using the AQMD web site at www.aq
