Learn about the Air District's Complaint Policy and Procedures and how we investigate air pollution concerns to ensure compliance with air quality rules and regulations.
The Air Quality Complaint Policy and Procedures(312 Kb PDF, 17 pgs, revised 11/5/2023) provides an overview of the Air District’s Complaint Program and guides inspectors in their response and investigation of potential and ongoing releases of air emissions.
The Air District completed a series of five public workshops in early 2020 to solicit public input on the air quality complaint investigation process. Enhancements to the Air Quality Complaint Policy and Procedures were made to address public comments from the workshops where feasible.
Information about the public workshop comments and the updated policy and procedures can be found below:
