Authority to Construct (A/C)
Learn about Authority to Construct permitting requirements.
When an Authority to Construct, or A/C, is issued, there are three potential actions for each device or source:
- Notify of start-up
- Request a renewal of the A/C
- Notify A/C is no longer needed (surrender/expire)
Start-up
A start-up notification card or form was included when your A/C was issued.
- Alternatively, you may submit an Authority To Construct Action Form(619 Kb PDF, 2 pgs, posted 10/29/2020) or a Startup Notification Form.
A/C Renewal
Prior to expiration, if any equipment covered in the A/C has not started up, notify the Air District to request an A/C renewal. If an A/C does not qualify for renewal, you must reapply by resubmitting a new permit application. See Air District Regulation 2, Rule 1.
- To request an A/C renewal, submit an Authority To Construct Action Form(619 Kb PDF, 2 pgs, posted 10/29/2020).
- If the permit qualifies for A/C renewal, the Air District will issue an invoice for the A/C renewal.
Surrender or Expire your A/C
If you no longer need the A/C:
- Submit an Authority To Construct Action Form(619 Kb PDF, 2 pgs, posted 10/29/2020).
- After the form is processed, the A/C is void. No further action can be taken on the A/C.
