Overview Of The Report To The Board Of Supervisors: Rule 280 establishes the fees charged to owners and
operators of sources of air pollution. The department is largely funded by a fee for service model by charging permit
application fees, annual administrative fees, hourly fees for staff time to process Title V and Non-Title V permit
applications and emission based fees. Currently, revenues generated by fees exceed the expenses of the fee funded
programs within the department, resulting in a yearly positive balance in the department’s fee fund. The department is
proposing to reduce a limited number of fees in Rule 280 in order to balance fee revenues with the expenses of the
department’s fee funded programs. In addition, the department is proposing to make several other revisions to update
and improve Rule 280.

Agenda Item: Pending
Supervisor Districts: All Districts
Applicant: Staff
Request: Approve amendments to Maricopa County Air Pollution Control
Regulations Rule 280 (Fees).
Rule 280 establishes the fees charged to owners and operators of sources
of air pollution. The department is largely funded by a fee for service
model by charging permit application fees, annual administrative fees,
hourly fees for staff time to process Title V and Non-Title V permit
applications and emission based fees. Revenues generated from fees
cover the operating costs of several programs within the department.
Currently, revenues generated by fees exceed the expenses of the fee
funded programs within the department, resulting in a yearly positive
balance in the department’s fee fund. The department is proposing dust
control permit fee reductions in Rule 280 to balance fee revenues with
the expenses of the department’s fee funded dust program. In addition,
the department is proposing to make several other revisions to update
and improve Rule 280, including asbestos refunds options, accelerated
permit processing, and expanded general permit options.

Summary: Return to list of attachments
Rule 280 establishes the fees charged to owners and operators of sources of air pollution. The Maricopa
County Air Quality Department (department) is largely funded by a fee for service model by charging
permit application fees, annual administrative fees, hourly fees for staff time to process Title V and Non-
Title V permit applications and emission based fees. Revenues generated from fees cover the operating
costs of several programs within the department. Currently, revenues generated by fees exceed the
expenses of the fee funded programs within the department, resulting in a yearly positive balance in the
1

department’s fee fund. The department is proposing to reduce a limited number of fees in Rule 280 in
order to balance the fee revenues with the expenses of the department’s fee funded programs. In addition,
the department is proposing to make several other revisions to update and improve Rule 280.
Background:
The department receives funding from three major sources: The Maricopa County General Fund, grants,
and fees collected from owners and operators of sources of air pollution. Funds from each source cover the
operating costs of specific programs within the department. Funds received from the Maricopa County
General Fund cover a significant portion of the operating costs of the Air Monitoring Program. Funds from
grants also cover operating costs of the Air Monitoring Program, a portion of the operating costs of the
Compliance Program and all the operating costs of the Travel Reduction Program. Funds generated from
fee collection cover the operating costs of the Dust Control Program, Small Source Program, Title V
Program, Training Program and Enforcement Program.
In recent years, the department has observed that revenues generated through fee collection have exceeded
the expenses of the fee funded programs. As a result, the department initiated revisions to Rule 280 to
address the excess fee revenues. An evaluation of the department’s fee fund determined the majority of the
excess fee revenues were coming from the Dust Control Program. Based on the analysis, the fees for the
dust control permit fees categories of “0.1 to less than one acre” and of “One acre to less than 10 acres”
should be reduced. Reduced fee amounts were calculated for these categories and the newly proposed
amounts are listed below.
The department is also proposing several revisions to the rule. The proposed revisions are listed below.
Detailed Description of the Major Proposed Amendments:
• Dust Control Permit Fee Reductions
Reduce permit fees in the dust control permit fee category of “0.1 to less than one acre” from $795 to
$530 and reduce permit fees in the dust control permit fee category of “One acre to less than 10 acres”
from $1,325 to $1,060. These fee reductions are expected to affect approximately 2,500 permits
annually based on recent data.
• Accelerated Permit Processing for Dust Control Applications
Add an option for accelerated permit processing for dust control applications. Under the proposed
revision, an applicant would be able to request accelerated permit processing for a dust control
application by submitting a completed application with a fee two times the fee amount listed in the
dust control permit fee schedule. Applications submitted with the accelerated permit processing fee
would be processed by the end of the next business day.
• Expanded General Permit Options
2

Offer three new general permits for the following sources: Crematories, Wastewater Treatment Plants
and Asphalt Day Tankers/Tar Kettles. These new categories would provide fee reductions of $320 and
$330 a year for sources that qualify. Approximately 70 sources are expected to qualify for these new
general permits.
• Refunds of Asbestos Notification Fees
Offer renovation and demolition fee refunds, less a $350 nonrefundable fee, upon cancellation of a
notification. A refund would be offered if the cancellation is received before renovation and/or
demolition operations have commenced and if no revisions have been made to the notification from the
date it was initially submitted.
• Changes to the Delinquency Fees
Add language to the delinquency fees section which would provide the possibility of increased
delinquency fees for those applicants or permittees who fail to pay required fees on time. Currently,
the rule language states an applicant or permittee will be required to pay a $50 fee if payment is
received 30 days after the invoice date or a $100 fee if the payment is received 60 days after the
invoice date. The department is proposing to add language stating an applicant or permittee will be
required to pay a $50 fee, “or 5% of the amount due, whichever is greater” if the payment is received
30 days after the invoice date or a $100 fee, “or 10% of the amount due, whichever is greater” if the
payment is received 60 days after the invoice date.
• Changes to the Annual Adjustment of Fees
Provide the option to annually adjust the following fees based on the Consumer Price Index: Non-Title
V Annual Administrative Fees, General Permit Application Fees, General Permit Annual
Administrative Fees, Burn Permit Fees, Dust Control Fees and Asbestos Notification and Plan Review
Fees. Currently, Rule 280 requires the Title V Billable Permit Action Fees, Annual Administrative
Fees, and Annual Emissions-Based Fees along with the Non-Title V Billable Permit Action Fees,
Annual Administrative Fees and General Permit Fees be adjusted annually. The Title V Billable
Permit Action Fees, Annual Administrative Fees, Annual Emissions-Based Fees and the Non-Title V
Billable Permit Action Fees would continue to be adjusted annually.
• Modifications to the Fee Tables
Make several modifications to the fee tables to improve clarity and usability. The fee rule was last
revised in 2010 and fees have been adjusted annually thereafter per CPI. The department is unable to
revise the fee rule annually but instead makes fee adjustments per CPI and includes them in an annual
fee schedule. The fee schedule is posted annually on the department’s website. First, the department is
proposing to update all of the Title V, Non-Title V and General Permit fees to the 2016 Air Quality
Fee Schedule; these fees appear higher than in the current rule, but the department is not increasing
3

these fees; these fees have been in effect since the CPI adjustment in early 2016. These fees will be
adjusted again in draft Rule 280 after August 31, 2016 to reflect the most current CPI. Second, the
department is proposing to add numbers and titles to all of the tables in the rule. Third, the department
is proposing to delete, add and revise several source categories in the Non-Title V source category fee
tables and combine the Non-Title V source category fee tables with the Non-Title V annual
administrative fee table. Finally, the department is proposing to create a new General Permit Fee
Table combining the General Permit Application Fee Table and the General Permit Annual
Administrative Fee Table. This table will list the existing nine general permit types along with the
three newly proposed general permit types.
Issues Raised and Discussed During this Rulemaking Process:
On June 23, 2016 the department held a stakeholder workshop and discussed the proposed revisions to Rule
280. During the workshop stakeholders raised concerns about the Stationary Dust-Generating Source
General Permit. First, stakeholders were concerned the draft rule did not clearly specify that the permit
covered landscaping using mechanized equipment. The department clarified that only landscaping that
utilized mechanized equipment, e.g., bobcats, that disturb 0.10 acre or more would require permit coverage.
Stakeholders proposed inserting “Landscaping with Mechanized Equipment” as an activity under the
Stationary Dust-Generating Source category in the General Permit Fee table. The department considered
the proposal and inserted the activity into the General Permit Fee table in the draft rule. Second,
stakeholders were concerned that construction of pools and other small structures such as barbeque pits and
shade canopies were not activities eligible for coverage under the Stationary Dust-Generating Permit
category and proposed including them as eligible activities. The department considered their proposal and
instead of including these activities under the Stationary Dust-Generating Source General Permit will
continue to require pool builders (disturbing a total surface area of 0.10 acre or more) to obtain a Dust
Control Permit. The construction of pools and other small structures are construction projects with finite
timelines and the Stationary Dust-Generating Source General Permit excludes construction projects with
finite timelines. Currently, pool builders must obtain a dust control permit for any project disturbing a total
surface area of 0.10 acre or more. However, the dust permit fee for disturbing less than 1 acre is proposed
to be reduced from $795 to $530. The department believes the construction of most small structures such
as barbeque pits and shade canopies will not require a permit because the activities will not disturb enough
acreage (0.10 acre or more) to require a dust control permit.

treatment plants and an asphalt day tankers/tar kettles that qualify for one of the newly proposed general
permits. This rulemaking will provide accelerated permit processing for dust control permit applicants and
it will provide refund options for owners and operators of asbestos renovation and demolition projects.
A cost benefit analysis of the following:
(a) The probable costs and benefits to the implementing agency and other agencies directly affected
by the implementation and enforcement of the rulemaking.
Because this rulemaking will lead to a decrease in fee collection, the department anticipates revenues
generated by fees will decrease. The decrease in fee revenues is not expected to negatively affect the
department since the revenues generated by fees currently exceed department expenses, creating a
yearly positive balance. The decrease in fees is anticipated to balance department fee revenues with
department expenses. The department does not anticipate the decrease in fee collection will have any
effect on any other agencies.
(b) The probable costs and benefits to a political subdivision of this state directly affected by the
implementation and enforcement of the rulemaking
This rulemaking will directly benefit political subdivisions that own and/or operate sources of air
pollution which will see a fee reduction under the rulemaking. Specifically, political subdivisions
required to obtain dust control permits for a projects 10 acres or less will see a fee reduction as well as
political subdivisions operating wastewater treatment plants or asphalt day tankers/tar kettles that
qualify for one of the newly proposed general permits. In addition, political divisions may benefit
from the proposed accelerated dust permit application processing as well as from the proposed refund
options for asbestos renovation and demolition notifications.
(c) The probable costs and benefits to businesses directly affected by the rulemaking, including any
anticipated effect on the revenues or payroll expenditures of employers who are subject to the
rulemaking.
This rulemaking will directly benefit businesses that own and/or operate a source of air pollution
which will see a fee reduction under the rulemaking. Specifically, businesses required to obtain dust
control permits for projects 10 acres or less will see fee reductions as well as businesses operating
crematories, wastewater treatment plants or asphalt day tankers/tar kettles that qualify for one of the
newly proposed general permits. In addition, businesses may benefit from the proposed accelerated
dust permit application processing as well as from the proposed refund options for asbestos renovation
and demolition notifications.
A general description of the probable impact on private and public employment in businesses,
agencies and political subdivisions of this state directly affected by the rulemaking.
12

The rulemaking will directly benefit those businesses, agencies and political subdivisions that own and/or
operate a source of air pollution which will see a fee reduction under the rulemaking.
A statement of the probable impact of the rulemaking on small businesses.
The rulemaking will directly benefit those small businesses that own and/or operate a source of air
pollution which will see a fee reduction under the rulemaking.
(a) An identification of the small businesses subject to the rulemaking.
All small businesses that own and/or operate a source of air pollution subject to Maricopa County Air
Pollution Control Regulations are subject to this rulemaking.
(b) The administrative and other costs required for compliance with the rulemaking.
There are no administrative and other costs required for compliance with this rulemaking.
(c) A description of the methods that the agency may use to reduce the impact on small businesses.
The impacts of this rulemaking on small business should be beneficial as the rulemaking includes fee
reductions, accelerated permit processing and new refund possibilities.
(i) Establishing less costly compliance requirements in the rulemaking for small businesses.
This rulemaking reduces fees for many small businesses and thereby establishes less costly
compliance requirements.
(ii) Establishing less costly schedules or less stringent deadlines for compliance in the
rulemaking.
This rulemaking does not create any new compliance schedules or deadlines.
(iii) Exempting small businesses from any or all requirements of the rulemaking.
All sources of air pollution subject to the Maricopa Air Pollution Control Regulations must pay
fees and cannot be exempted from this rulemaking.
(d) The probable cost and benefit to private persons and consumers who are directly affected by the
rulemaking.
Because this rulemaking results in a fee reduction for many businesses, private persons and consumers
may see a direct benefit from the rulemaking.
A statement of the probable effect on state revenues.
The rule revisions will not impose increased monetary or regulatory costs on other state agencies,
political subdivisions of this state, persons, or individuals so regulated. Without costs to pass through
to customers, there is no projected change in consumer purchase patterns and, thus, no impact on state
revenues from sales taxes.
13

A description of any less intrusive or less costly alternative methods of achieving the purpose of
the rulemaking.
The purpose of this rulemaking is to decrease fee collection so revenues generated by fees match
expenses for department fee funded programs.
