New Health Risk Assessment Application Instantly Assesses Impacts for Facilities
DIAMOND BAR, Calif., Dec. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The South Coast Air Quality Management District (South Coast AQMD) has released new online tools to make getting permits faster and easier. These upgrades are part of the agency’s Permitting Enhancement Program (PEP), which is one of the South Coast AQMD Chair Vanessa Delgado’s initiatives to implement mechanisms to reduce permit processing. The new Health Risk Assessment (HRA) tool evaluates the potential health impacts of toxic emissions from a facility through a simple, interactive tool, replacing complex calculations and paper-based documents.
“These changes are a big step forward in making the permitting process faster, more efficient, and easier for everyone involved,” said Wayne Nastri, Executive Officer of South Coast AQMD. “Going digital isn’t just about keeping up, it’s about making our agency more accessible, responsive, and effective for the regulated community.”
What’s New with the Permitting Enhancement Program:
South Coast AQMD will continue a collaborative public effort to discuss permitting requirements with various industry sectors and receive public input. The next PEP update will be provided in early 2025. For more information on permitting updates, please sign up for notifications: www.aqmd.gov/sign-up.
