General Project Description: Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (District) will hold two public hearings at the times and location listed above to accept comments and consider amendments to District Rule 210, Fees. The rule amendments are intended to recover District costs associated with its stationary source permitting program and for other District activities mandated by state and/or federal regulations. The amendments to Rule 210 include increasing the fee rates for existing services that do not meet the Board-adopted Cost Recovery Policy, adding new fees for specific tasks and categories of equipment, modifying the administrative procedures, and removing outdated fees and reorganizing the rule text. The project also consists of minor amendments to other affected rules that reference Rule 210.
Who is Affected? Any owner or operator of a stationary source of air pollution within the District.
