A source has to obtain a minor source permit if it has the potential to emit regulated air pollutants equal to or greater than the levels listed in Section 12.1.1(d) of the Clark County Air Quality Regulations. If you're not sure how to calculate your potential to emit, please contact a Small Business Assistance Program (SBAP) specialist at AQSBAP@ClarkCountyNV.gov or 702-455-5942.

It depends on the type of permit. All applications must include the minor source permit application, with new permits, revisions, and renewals requiring different additional paperwork. Stationary source applications and worksheets are available on our website Stationary Source Permitting page. For help selecting the necessary forms for your individual application, contact an SBAP specialist at AQSBAP@ClarkCountyNV.gov or 702-455-5942.

SBAP services are free and confidential. An SBAP specialist can help you complete any form on the website at no cost or help you find an environmental consultant. For help completing forms, contact an SBAP specialist at AQSBAP@ClarkCountyNV.gov or 702-455-5942.

Please keep in mind that DAQ has 60 days to determine whether an application is complete. Deficiencies cause delays. DAQ will issue a new minor source permit 150 days maximum after the application is deemed complete if no public participation is required. Processing will take an extra 30 days if public participation is required. Permit renewals may take up to 75 or 120 days after the completeness determination, and significant permit revisions may take up to 120 days after the completeness determination.

Minor source fees are available on our website at our Fee Schedule permitting section. This list shows permit application review and other fees. All new, renewal, minor revision, and significant revision applications must be submitted with the permit application filing fee. DAQ will invoice any additional fees that apply when the minor stationary source permit is issued. For specific questions, please contact an SBAP specialist at AQSBAP@ClarkCountyNV.gov or 702-455-5942.

Minor source permits expire five years after the date of issuance. A timely renewal application must be submitted at least 120 days (four months), but no more than 270 days (nine months), before the permit's date of expiration. If the application is not timely (submitted between the expiration date and 120 days prior), the renewal may not be issued before your current permit expires. Operating without a minor source permit is a violation of Clark County Air Quality Regulations.

Annual operating permit renewal fees are invoiced every year in accordance with Section 18. These fees are due annually and do not change the expiration date of your permit.

Submit an application to revise your minor source permit that includes, at a minimum, a minor source permit application Stationary Source Permitting page and updated calculations. For help, contact an SBAP specialist at AQSBAP@ClarkCountyNV.gov or 702-455-5942.

The responsible official should send a letter to DAQ requesting the minor source permit be terminated. It must be on company letterhead, be addressed to the permitting manager, state the reason for the termination, and have the original ("wet") signature of a responsible official. The letter can be mailed to DAQ or hand-delivered. No fees are required.

Submit a Prior Notification Form. Select change (5) and describe the proposed change(s) in the space provided. The emission unit will be removed for the purposes of annual billing, but an updated minor source permit will not be issued. No fees are required.

If you want the emission unit removed from the permit's "Summary of Emission Units" table and the source's potential to emit reduced accordingly, you must submit a minor revision with applicable fees.

Section 12.1.3.1 states, "...no person shall commence construction of, operate, or make a modification to a minor source except in compliance with a minor source permit that authorizes such construction, operation, or modification."

General site development is OK, but you cannot do any construction directly related to any emission unit(s) and/or construct a slab associated with an emission unit unless DAQ has authorized construction. (The issuance of a minor source permit for a new source, or for an existing source that is undergoing a significant permit revision, authorizes the construction of all emission units listed in the permit.) If one or more new emission units are being added to the minor source permit through a minor permit revision, you can install them after seven days if DAQ does not object within that time.

On March 31 of each year, unless otherwise specified in the permit. If you maintain an active minor source permit, you must submit your annual emissions inventory even if there was no activity. The report must arrive at DAQ on or before the due date; DAQ does not accept postmark dates. For help completing your annual emissions inventory, contact an SBAP specialist at AQSBAP@ClarkCountyNV.gov or 702-455-5942.

The first week of January in each year. Invoices are due 30 days after the date of issuance.

Submit a minor source permit application and an emission unit worksheet for a gasoline dispensing operation to DAQ Stationary Source Permitting page. Include the application fee. Decommissioning may begin after DAQ authorizes a permit revision.

Within 180 days of DAQ issuing the revision, you must decommission the Phase II vapor recovery system and conduct a vapor recovery performance test that conforms with the permit's conditions (see Section 4.2 of the permit, "TESTING").

A revision does not change a permit's expiration date.
