CAPP Program Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CAPP Program?
The CAPP
program is designed to certify non-District people who can assist in preparing
applications for air permits. This is a part of the District's permit
streamlining programs and helps application processing by ensuring more
complete project applications are received.
CAPP
certification is not required to submit an application, but can be
an additional selling point for private consultants and related
environmental professionals.
Who is eligible to attend the CAPP Program?
The classes are
designed as a review of District Rules and practices for experienced
permitting professionals rather than as a training course for new engineers.
CAPP candidates must have an engineering or related science degree and
have been involved with the submittal of permitting applications in
California. Specific CAPP
qualification information can be found in District Rule 1170 which is
available on our website at the following link:
http://www.valleyair.org/rules/currntrules/r1170.pdf
Successful CAPP
candidates are those who have experience in permit processing and routinely
perform the calculations and evaluations required to show compliance with
District Rules and Regulations.
What subjects do the CAPP classes cover?
The CAPP
classes are designed as a review of key District policies and practices
including
- New
Source Review requirements of BACT, emission offsets, ERC banking and use,
public noticing, and Health Risk Assessments;
- Major
Source project processing;
- Prohibitory
Rules, NSPS and NESHAPS;
- Effective
Permit Writing; and
- Application
Review Format.
When is the next CAPP class?
CAPP classes
are scheduled when there is a sufficient number of interested parties.
