Compliance Verification Inspections
Learn how the Air District Inspection Program ensures compliance with air quality regulations in the Bay Area.
The Bay Area Air District administers a robust inspection program to protect public health and air quality across nine Bay Area counties.
Inspections typically include:
- Pre-Inspection Review – Inspector reviews applicable air quality rules and regulations, permit requirements, and historical compliance and enforcement data.
- On-Site Inspection – Inspector looks at the equipment, emissions monitors, abatement devices, and general housekeeping and maintenance practices during onsite, unannounced inspections to verify compliance.
- Recordkeeping/Reporting Review – Inspector reviews all recordkeeping and reporting to ensure accuracy and compliance with administrative requirements.
- Inspection Findings Documentation – Inspector prepares a detailed inspection report.
- Enforcement Action – A facility found to be operating out of compliance is issued a Notice of Violation or a Notice to Comply. These notices require corrective actions. Violations are resolved by the Air District Legal Division and enforcement cases may be referred to regulatory partners.
- Compliance Assistance – The Air District provides guidance to operators on ways to comply with air quality regulations and permit requirements.
