Air pollution: permits: mobile fueling on-demand tank vehicles.

Existing law authorizes air pollution control districts and air quality management districts to establish, by regulation, a permit system to require that before any person builds, erects, alters, replaces, operates, or uses any article, machine, equipment, or other contrivance which may cause the issuance of air contaminants, the person obtain a permit from the district. Existing law requires air pollution control and air quality management districts, except county districts with a population of less than 250,000, to establish, by regulation, a program to provide for the expedited review of permits. A person who violates these requirements, or any rules, regulation, permit, or order of a district is guilty of a misdemeanor. This bill would, except as provided, require air pollution control and air quality management districts to establish a mobile fueling on-demand tank vehicle permit program for mobile fueling on-demand tank vehicle operations, as defined. The bill would require that a mobile fueling on-demand tank vehicle permit program provide, among other things, a consistent permitting process for an operation that requires more than one permit and an expedited permit review and fee schedule. By placing additional duties upon air pollution control and air quality management districts, and expanding the scope of existing crimes, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for specified reasons.
