Registrations & Notifications
Companies that emit small quantities of air pollutants may not need to have an Air
Quality Permit or may simply be required to register with us. The rules for determining
whether an Air Quality Permit is required are in Section 3Q .0100 of the Forsyth
County Air Quality Technical Code (FCAQTC) and companies that are uncertain about
whether they need to have an Air Quality Permit are encouraged to contact us for
an applicability determination. If you have any questions or need additional information,
please contact the Permitting Manager
by email or by telephone at (336) 703-2440.

Paint Stripping & Miscellaneous Surface Coating Operations (Subpart HHHHHH)
Facilities that use methylene chloride to strip paint, auto body shops, and other
facilities that spray paint metal or plastic surfaces are subject to federal emission

Area Source Boilers (NESHAP Subpart JJJJJJ)
Facilities that operate boilers that can burn oil, biomass, coal, or other solid
and liquid non-waste materials are subject to federal emission standards. Federal
law requires facilities covered under the rule submit an Initial Notification by
September 17, 2011.
On December 23, 2011 EPA published proposed amendments to Subpart JJJJJJ that would
extend the compliance date for initial boiler tune-ups from March 21, 2012 to March
21, 2013. Because this rule amendment has not become final, EPA issued a
"No Action Assurance" letter on March 13, 2012 stating that EPA will not
take enforcement action against facilities that do not conduct a tune-up required
by Subpart JJJJJJ by the March 21, 2012 compliance date. Similarly, the Office of
Environmental Assistance and Protection will not enforce the March 21, 2012 compliance
deadline for boiler tune-ups. The No Action Assurance has been extended until December
31, 2012 or the effective date of a final rule revision to Subpart JJJJJJ
Stationary Engines and Emergency Generators (NESHAP Subpart ZZZZ)
If you are the owner or operator of an emergency generator, you must comply with
Subpart ZZZZ of 40 CFR Part 63. Please make sure you operate your generator such
that you maintain its status as an emergency generator.
If your stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engine (RICE) is not for emergency
use, please contact us for direction.
