SCAQMD Permit Moratorium

Hey Folks:
Due to litigation issues, the South Coast Air Quality Management District has put a moratorium on all new permits within the Los Angeles Basin.
If you are a business that is affected by this, you are facing the realization that you will not be able to grow your business within the region any time soon. It does not matter if you are manufacturing the latest life-saving cancer drug, armor for troops in Afghanistan or remediating gasoline or perchlorate from the local water supply. The simple fact is, you are not going to be able to get the proper permit any time soon.
There are a handful of exceptions. If your process will emit less than one half pound of emissions per day you are excepted. Likewise, if you can trade emissions reduction credits (ERCs) or buy them (for up to hundreds of thousands of dollars) you are in a pinch.
There are two more exceptions to add to the list. Contact me and you can use our permits for Soil Vapor Extraction for up to one year. You can also use our carbon vessels and filtration media with our permits to escape this added burden. Our permits are not affected and are currently considered something like "grandfathered" under the regulations
There will be a mad rush for these as the realization sets in among the Southern California Enviornmental Consultant community. Lock in now before these permits are gone. Once that happens, look for the prices for use of these permits to skyrocket. Mark my words, somebody will pay tens of thousands to save hundreds of thousands and be allowed to operate.
If you have an old remediation system that has been permitted in the SCAQMD and the remediation equipment is for sale, contact me and I will see if we can purchase your old equipment. The permit could be worth more than the equipment!
