Air District Fact

Due to the fact that asbestos has been used extensively in residential, commercial and industrial construction, District Regulation 11-2-401.3 requires that for every renovation involving the removal of 100 sq ft/lin ft or greater of Regulated Asbestos Containing Material, and for every demolition (even when no asbestos is present), a notification must be made to the BAAQMD at least 10 working days (except in special circumstances) prior to commencement of demolition/renovation.

Bay Area Cities and Counties that have Adopted Ordinances

The Air District’s Wood-Burning Rule, which was passed in 2008, applies to the entire Bay Area Air District, and sets baseline requirements regarding wood burning throughout the Bay Area.

In addition, other cities and counties listed below have adopted local wood smoke ordinances that may in some cases contain more stringent requirements. Many of these local ordinances were based on the Air District's Model Wood Smoke Ordinance, which was previously developed as a guidance document for cities and counties that wished to regulate sources of particulate matter in their communities.
