§ 42358 Variance Compliance Deadlines

Key Takeaways

  • •A variance is a special permission to break air pollution rules for a short time.
  • •Most variances last only up to 1 year.
  • •If the variance lasts longer than 1 year, it must include a plan to follow the rules eventually.

Example

A factory is polluting too much but needs time to install new equipment to fix the problem.

The factory can get a variance to keep running while it fixes the issue, but it must have a plan to follow the rules within a set time.
