Compliance Assistance Resources

Compliance Assistance for your business

To assist your business, we have staff available to answer your questions and we have publications on a variety of business-specific categories. 

Consultation Program - We offer complimentary on-site consultations to assist registered sources comply with air quality regulations. At your request, a Spokane Clean Air consultant will visit your workplace and help you identify:

• Opportunities for reducing air emissions, potentially lessening the regulations you are subject to, and saving you money.
  
• Areas that need improvement, ensuring your compliance with air quality regulations. The consulting staff does not have the ability to take enforcement action, but will ask you to correct an infraction within a certain time.
  
• Practical, best management practices for achieving these improvements, maintaining compliance, and going beyond compliance.

The On-Site Consultant Will:

• Not issue Notice of Violation (NOV) for violations of air quality rules, regulations and permits. The consultant does not have the ability to issue NOVs. But, the consultant will report possible violations if it’s not corrected within an agreed amount of time.
  
• Not guarantee that your workplace will “pass” a future Spokane Clean Air inspection.

There are many benefits associated with reducing air pollution:

• Reduced operating costs - many businesses who implement P2 protocols save money in product and labor costs.
• Reduced compliance costs - some businesses are able to reduce air pollution emissions, which may reduce registration fees with Spokane Clean Air.
• Reduced liability - removing hazardous products can reduce employee and community liability.
• Increased productivity - some P2 protocols improve the efficiency of the manufacturing process, increasing worker productivity.
• Improved company image -  show you care about your workers, the community and the environment by implementing programs to reduce air pollution from your facility.
