| Authority
to Construct Permits
The AQMD issues Authority
to Construct permits for El Dorado County. Authority
to Construct Permits address stationary sources and are
required for all commercial and industrial projects that
may cause, eliminate, reduce, or control the issuance of
air contaminants. An Authority to Construct permit is required
before construction but is also required if an existing
source is modified. Submitting an application does not guarantee
approval. Permit issuance may take a few months so it is
advisable to contact AQMD early in the project planning
phase. Authority to Construct permits are good for one year
and are renewable one time for one additional year.
