Painting Operations
The Air Pollution Control District (SDAPCD) regulates painting operations to control the emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) which are precursors to the formation of ozone. The materials used may also contain dangerous Toxic Air Contaminants (TAC). Applicable rules cover various substrates and include specific definitions and standards. If you have questions or need additional clarifications please call the main Compliance telephone number (858) 586-2650 and ask to speak with the Duty Inspector.
SDAPCD has developed and continues to add various sample record keeping forms and instructional videos to assist the business community in remaining compliant.
