The Air Toxics "Hot Spots" Information and Assessment Act requires each district to recover state and district program costs, H&SC §44380 et. seq. At the AQMD, this is accomplished through AQMD Rule 307.1- Alternative Fees for Air Toxics Emissions Inventory.
Facilities will be assessed the AB2588 district and state fees applicable to their specific designation as specified in Table 1 of Rule 307.1 (~53 kb*).
According to the current proposed CARB’s regulation:
-
A facility classified as a “Diesel Engine Only” facility will be assessed the same fee rate as an “Industry-wide” facility as specified in Table 1 of AQMD Rule 307.1.
· A facility with incomplete submittal will be designated as a “High Priority – PS > 10, No HRA” facility and will be charged the fee applicable to their designation as specified in Table 1 of AQMD Rule 307.1.
-
A facility that does not submit their Compliance Status Report and a Compliance Plan to the AQMD will be in violation of Rule 1470 requirements. In addition, the AQMD is authorized under state Health and Safety Code (Section 44340) to require facilities subject to the AB2588 Program to submit plans and reports to the AQMD. The state Health and Safety Code (Section 44381) includes substantial fines for non-submittal of reports.
Please note that the AB2588 fees are in addition to any applicable permitting or plan processing fees as required under Rule 1470.
