The Clean Air Act requires many facilities to obtain an air quality operating permit before commencing operation. Depending on the regulatory agency, any facility or operation with an emission source may be required to obtain an air quality operating permit. Nevada statutes define an emission source as “any property, real or personal, which directly emits or may emit any air contaminant.”

Poor air permitting management can lead to compliance issues, which can subsequently lead to operational limitations, expensive construction and/or operational delays, potential violations, and considerable monetary penalties.
