Rule 222 Filing Program

Rule 222 (Filing Requirements for Specific Emission Sources Not Requiring a Written Permit Pursuant to Regulation II) was adopted in September of 1998 as a streamlined alternative to permitting

Rule 222 identifies specific types of equipment that typically have a low emission impact.  Owners and operators of equipment listed below are required to comply with the Rule 222 Filing Program. This rule requires owners/operators of specified emission sources to submit information regarding the source, including but not limited to a description of the source, data necessary to estimate emissions from the source, and information to determine whether the equipment is operating in compliance with applicable District, state, and federal rules and regulations.
