Application Review Fees
The base fee and the filing fee are to be submitted with the application. These fees depend on the source’s size category and its location as defined and specified below. The specified fees are based on the standard length of time to review a permit application (Notice of intent—NOI) in various categories and to issue a permit (Approval Order—AO). If the review takes longer than the standard time to review your NOI, the law currently authorizes DAQ to charge $90 per hour for the additional time spent on your application.

Checks should be made payable to the State of Utah, Division of Air Quality.
Annual Emission Fees (Title V)
Annual emission fees are only paid by companies subject to the Title V or Operating Permit Program. These companies typically have large emissions, visit the operating permit program fact sheet to see if this program may apply to your business. Companies are charged an annual emissions fee based on the amount of pollutants they emit to the air. This fee pays for the administrative cost of the Operating Permit Program. Unlike NOI reviews, there is no additional fee for the issuance of an operating permit, the issuance of an operating permit is included in the annual emissions fee. The fee maybe adjusted annually.
The emission fee for fiscal year 2012 is $51.32 per ton of emissions.
