Engineering has always been an important part of air pollution control – from designing devices to take the smoke out of smokestacks to determining the complex atmospheric reactions that result in photochemical smog. The name of the Engineering Division is a reflection of those roots.

 

  • The Engineering Division has four primary responsibilities:
  • Through our permitting programs, we assist facilities in Ventura County that emit air pollutants to use the best methods to reduce their pollution. We also help them to understand the local, state and federal air pollution control requirements that apply to them.
  • In our air toxics program, we strive to better understand what toxic air pollutants are being emitted in Ventura County, what facilities are emitting air toxics, and what potential health risk problems are being created by those emissions.
  • In our rule development program, we develop rules to reduce air pollutants being emitted from local sources.
  • In our emission inventory, we keep track of the gas and particulate pollutants emitted into the air.

 

The Engineering Division has a staff of 10. We are able to offer one-on-one assistance to businesses in Ventura County in understanding the requirements of these programs and what they need to do to make their facilities comply.
