Steps

  1. Confirm an Air District permit is required for emergency generators of 50 bhp and greater within BAAQMD's jurisdiction, with additional restrictions/fees for units within 1,000 feet of a school
  2. Use BAAQMD's Online Permitting System (baaqmd.gov/en/permits/apply-for-a-permit/online-permitting-system) for eligible facilities to submit new applications, renewals, and facility updates
  3. Confirm Application Form P-101B is the relevant new-engine application form for units installed after September 1, 2001, alongside the ICE and HRA form guidance documents
  4. Note permits require annual renewal with recurring fees for the life of the generator — factor this into any client-facing compliance guidance
