Air Quality Permitting

UPDATE

During the Covid-19 restrictions, the NC Division of Air Quality (DAQ) had created an email account that is available for facilities to electronically submit permit applications and reports. This email account will no longer be available effective August 9, 2022.

As an alternative, you may email these documents directly to the DAQ Regional Supervisor for your location, which can be found on the Regional Office pages. Title V applications can also be copied to Mark Cuilla, Chief, Permitting Section. You will still need to submit official hard copies of the reports or permit applications as you have done in the past.

We request that you use the following Subject Line formatting: “Facility ID, Facility Name, type of submission.” Refer to your permit or registration for your facility ID.

If you have multiple facilities please send a separate email for each facility. A signed, scanned PDF would be the preferable format. Please feel free to email any questions or concerns to the DAQ regional supervisor for your application.

The Division is currently working on a rule and procedure changes to allow full electronic reporting in the future.
