NOTICE OF PUBLIC WORKSHOP TO DISCUSS
PROPOSED NEW EMISSION INVENTORY FEE FOR 2026
Federal and State law authorize the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District (SDAPCD) to adopt fees to recover the costs of administering mandated air pollution control programs. These fees, established in Rule 40 (Permit and Other Fees), apply to services such as permit applications and renewals, emission testing, emission inventories and asbestos notifications. (SDAPCD rules are available at https://bit.ly/SDAPCDRules.)PROPOSED NEW EMISSION INVENTORY FEE FOR 2026
Federal, State and SDAPCD rules and regulations require SDAPCD to conduct emission inventories to quantify air emissions for regulated stationary sources, in order to gain critical information on emission sources that may contribute to adverse health risks or other impacts. These mandates are implemented locally through Rule 19.3 (Emission Information) which was recently amended to comply with changes in State law requirements. In 2022, State law significantly expanded emission inventory requirements, increasing the number of air toxic pollutants to be reported by an additional 1,030 pollutants, and the number of facilities subject to those requirements from about 200 to over 4,500 per year. To recover associated costs, the SDAPCD Governing Board adopted new emission inventory fees in 2024 for facilities that had been historically inventoried by the SDAPCD. For 2026, SDAPCD is now proposing a fixed fee to recover these costs for all remaining facilities subject to these requirements. This proposed fixed emission inventory fee is tentatively scheduled for SDAPCD Governing Board consideration in Winter 2025 as part of proposed amendments to Rule 40, pursuant to the Board’s previously adopted cost recovery plan (https://bit.ly/40nM4Ut).
The SDAPCD invites you to a virtual public workshop to provide input on the proposed amendments to Rule 40, to implement a fixed fee to recover costs associated with preparation of emission inventories for all remaining facilities subject to the expanded State law requirements:
