Air Pollution Control - Title V Facility Permit

Businesses that release pollutants into the air need permits from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). If your business emits pollutants at high levels, you need a Title V Permit.

Major air pollution sources: Businesses that are defined as major air pollution sources by New York State law must have a Title V Permit. Check the DEC website for more details.

Air Facility Registration: If your business emits less than 50 percent of the "major source" thresholds per year, you should file for the Air Facility Registration.

State Facility Permit: If your business emits 50 percent or more of the "major source" thresholds, but less than the "major source" thresholds, you should apply for the State Facility Permit.
