The Permits Branch issues new permits and permit modifications to existing facilities after
reviewing and evaluating permit applications for administrative and technical completeness and ensuring that
each application meets regulatory adequacy. The permit is written to meet state and federal regulations to
include information on which pollutants are being released, how much may be released, and what kinds of steps
the source's owner or operator is taking to reduce pollution. All permits will include a mechanism to
demonstrate compliance with the permit conditions.
The listed links on this page will direct you to:
- The Air Permits Application Database. This has been put
online to allow the public to search for information on Title V and minor source permit applications. This
database contains records of all air permit applications processed by the ADEQ since 1999 and links to some of
the actual final air permits in Adobe Acrobat format.
- A list of permits currently in draft stage. This is a
list of permits that have been drafted but not yet finalized. They may or may not be open for public comment.
- Instructions and forms required by the Department to apply for an
air permit, along with other related information.
- Name Change/Change in ownership.
This is a set of guidelines for requesting a transfer of ownership or
a name change of a facility.
- Screening Modeling
Protocol (PDF File). Modeling
done by ADEQ, Air Division Permit Branch staff in review of permit
applications is generally limited to screening models to determine
if additional refined modeling by the facility is necessary. This
document is to outline the general procedure for such a screening
analysis. In addition, general instructions for running AERMOD are
attached that clarify some other issues.
In order to assist regulated facilities and the public with
screening modeling, the Air Division has preprocessed National
Weather Service data for Little Rock and Shreveport, LA. This data may be used with the screening
model protocol and can be downloaded for free from ADEQ's
ftp
site. The files are the merged upper air observations and hourly
surface observations which are utilized by AERMET. This is not to be
used for PSD permits or other complex modeling situation without
prior Department approval.

presumption is that all material submitted to the Air Division is available for public review unless specific
procedures are followed to claim confidentiality.
