Registration - There are about 650 facilities registered with Spokane Clean Air, per Regulation I, Article IV, which lists sources that have been identified as having potentially significant air emissions and therefore may be required to be in the agency's Annual Registration Program.
Air Quality Permits - In addition, these facilities may have to go through a Notice of Construction (NOC) (permit) approval process prior to any modification of existing equipment or installation of new equipment.
Common Environmental Permits - Often, businesses operations in Spokane County require more than one permit to operate. The Spokane County Building & Planning Department created a permit portal, to assist businesses in permitting efforts. Some permits may include; air quality, water quality, solid waste, building permit, hazardous waste, etc.
Activities - Some businesses, based on their activities and subsequent emissions, do not fall under the annual registration program, however, they are still subject to general air quality regulations. Examples include dust and smoke emissions, odors, asbestos, etc.
