Many companies are unaware that they are required to obtain a permit for compliance with air quality regulations. Permits are required for any operation that emits any kind of contaminant into the air. There are three main categories of permits that correspond to different permitting requirements:

 

w	Approval Orders Required for all facilities, which do not qualify for a small source exemption, that emit contaminants into the air. This includes modifications to existing facilities.
w	Operating Permits Required for all major sources that have the potential of emitting between 10 and 100 tons per year of any hazardous air pollutant or combination of pollutants. This includes smaller sources that are regulated by standards or other Clean Air Act requirements.
w	Registration for Small Source Exemption Requires submittal of Registration Notice.
