Compliance Assistance

​The Sac Metro Air District (District) has a Compliance Assistance Program (CAP) to help any business or organization understand air quality rules to reduce air pollution in Sacramento County.  This resource offers solutions to both technical and general questions. 

We offer assistance to all sectors of the regulated community.  Many businesses can benefit from this program, including coating operations, gasoline stations, wood product manufacturers, asphalt and concrete batch facilities, construction operations, facilities operating boilers, and internal combustion engines.  

If you have the following questions:

• Do I need a permit for my business?
• What Sac Metro Air District rules and permit requirements apply to my business?
• Or, any other questions regarding air quality regulations. 

Don't hesitate to get in touch with the District for compliance assistance.  

Call 279-207-1122 ext. 14 (toll-free:1-800-880-9025) or email compliance@airquality.org.

You may request the Sac Metro Air District to conduct a facility review at your business.

This is a non-regulatory inspection conducted at no additional charge by District staff.

The purpose of the facility review is to provide on-site education to businesses on the particular air quality regulations affecting their operations to prevent future violations.

To schedule, call 279-207-1122 ext. 14 (toll-free:1-800-880-9025) or email compliance@airquality.org.
