Air Division
Air Pollution Control Program:
The Basics
The Air Division administers the Alabama
Department of Environmental Management’s Air Pollution Control Program pursuant
to the authorities granted by the provisions of the Alabama Environmental
Management Act, Ala. Code §§22‑22A‑1 to 22‑22A‑16 and the Alabama Air
Pollution Control Act, Ala. Code §§22‑28‑1 to 22‑28‑23. The Air Division
also administers the delegable provisions of the Clean Air Act, the federal law
that regulates air emissions from stationary and mobile sources.
The Air Division has primary jurisdiction
over all air emission sources within the State, except those emission sources
located within Jefferson County or the City of Huntsville. The Air Pollution
Control Programs in these areas are administered by the Jefferson County
Department of Health (www.jcdh.org)
and the City of Huntsville Department of Natural Resources (www.hsvcity.com/NatRes/),
respectively. Air emission sources in these areas should contact these agencies
for information regarding applicable regulations and permitting requirements.
The rules for ADEM’s Air Pollution Control
Program are found in
Division 3 of the ADEM Administrative Code. Division 3 regulations
include emission standards and control requirements on both a pollutant‑specific
basis and process/equipment/industry specific basis. Division 3 also sets forth
the permitting requirements for air emission sources.
