A compliance assessment is an evaluation tool offered by the Air Quality Bureau’s Small Business Environmental Assistance Program (SBEAP). The compliance assessment allows your business to take a positive step towards meeting the requirements in your air quality permit. It also allows you to make corrections before an inspection takes place. One advantage of the assessment is that penalties associated with any violations may be reduced or waived for the permit owner. Another advantage is knowing that you are following all the requirements of your permit as you agreed to do. The SBEAP team will work with you and offer guidance every step of the way to help you succeed at correcting your violations.
