- StateAlaska air permitsAlaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). Alaska DEC's Air Permit Program issues construction permits (major sources), minor source specific permits, general permits for common source types, Owner Requested Limits (ORL), Pre-Approved Emission Limits (PAEL), and Title V operating permits under 18 AAC 50 and AS 46.14.
- StateMontana air permitsMontana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Montana DEQ issues Montana Air Quality Permits (MAQPs, preconstruction permits under ARM 17.8 Subchapter 7), Title V Operating Permits (ARM 17.8 Subchapter 12), and registrations for specific portable or well-site source types (oil and gas well facilities, nonmetallic mineral crushers/screeners, concrete batch plants, and asphalt plants). Per DEQ, MAQPs do not expire. PSD applies to major stationary sources under ARM 17.8 Subchapter 8.
- StateNorth Dakota air permitsNorth Dakota Department of Environmental Quality (NDDEQ). North Dakota uses a two-step system: a Permit to Construct (PTC) before building or modifying a source in a designated category (NDAC 33.1-15-14), then a Permit to Operate (PTO) issued after DEQ inspects the facility. Sources are classed as true minor, synthetic minor (federally enforceable limits), Title V major, and PSD major. North Dakota is in attainment for all criteria pollutants, so major preconstruction review is PSD. Oil and gas production facilities use a General Permit (GP-OG) filed through CERIS-ND. Applications and reports are filed electronically through CERIS-ND. Indian country is outside the GP-OG and NDDEQ's jurisdiction.
- StateMichigan air permitsMichigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE). Michigan requires a Permit to Install (PTI) before installing, relocating, modifying, or reconstructing equipment that emits air contaminants (R 336.1201), unless an exemption in Part 2 applies. PTIs are free and do not expire. General PTIs exist for a few categories. Major sources need a Renewable Operating Permit (ROP), Michigan's Title V program (R 336.1210-1218). Part 18 (PSD) mirrors 40 CFR 52.21 and Part 19 covers nonattainment NSR.
- StateNew York air permitsNew York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC). NYSDEC issues air permits and registrations under 6 NYCRR Part 201: Air Facility Registrations (Subpart 201-4) for smaller non-major facilities, State Facility Permits (Subpart 201-5) for larger non-major facilities using enforceable limits, and Title V Facility Permits (Subpart 201-6) for major and Acid Rain sources. Major projects need nonattainment NSR under Part 231 or federal PSD under 40 CFR 52.21. Major source thresholds vary by location: the New York City metropolitan severe ozone nonattainment area has the lowest NOx/VOC thresholds. Permit processing follows the Uniform Procedures Act (Part 621). EPA Region 2 is the permitting authority in the eight Tribal Nations.
- StateWyoming air permitsWyoming Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Wyoming DEQ's Air Quality Division requires a construction permit before construction or modification of a source begins (WAQSR Chapter 6, Section 2(a)(i)). DEQ says Chapter 6 has no de minimis emission levels; instead, Section 2(k) lists specific activities that do not need approval. Oil and gas production sites that use Best Available Control Technology (BACT) may begin construction without prior authorization under W.S. 35-11-801(e), and DEQ's Oil and Gas Production Facilities Permitting Guidance defines that BACT. Major sources need PSD (Chapter 6, Section 4), nonattainment NSR (Chapter 6, Section 13; Upper Green River Basin ozone area), and a Title V operating permit (Chapter 6, Section 3). Applications are submitted through the IMPACT portal, and drafts are posted on OpenAir. EPA Region 8 is the permitting authority in Indian Country.
- StateOhio air permitsOhio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA). Ohio EPA DAPC issues air permits through its Central Office and district offices plus eight local air agencies that serve as Ohio EPA's representatives for their counties. Non-Title V facilities get a Permit-to-Install and Operate (PTIO); Title V facilities get a Permit-to-Install (PTI) for construction plus a Title V operating permit (OAC 3745-77). Lower tiers include permanent and discretionary exemptions (OAC 3745-31-03), the de minimis exemption (OAC 3745-15-05), permits-by-rule (OAC 3745-31-30), and general permits (OAC 3745-31-29), including oil and gas well-site and natural gas compressor station general permits. Best Available Technology (BAT) applies to new sources. Major sources go through attainment-area review (PSD, OAC 3745-31-10 to -20) or nonattainment review (OAC 3745-31-21 to -27).
- StatePennsylvania air permitsPennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Pennsylvania DEP requires a plan approval before constructing, modifying, or reactivating a source or installing an air cleaning device (25 Pa. Code Chapter 127, Subchapter B), and an operating permit (State-Only or Title V, Subchapter F and Title V provisions) to operate. Many sources are exempt from plan approval under 25 Pa. Code 127.14 and DEP's Air Quality Permit Exemptions list (275-2101-003), but plan approval exemptions do not automatically exempt a facility from operating permits. A Request for Determination (RFD) gets a case-by-case decision. General plan approvals/general operating permits (GP-1 to GP-24) cover common source types, including GP-5 and GP-5A for natural gas operations. Allegheny County and Philadelphia run their own programs. Annual operating permit maintenance fees apply (2026-2030: $10,000 Title V, $5,000 synthetic minor, $2,500 natural minor).
- StateCalifornia air permitsCalifornia Air Resources Board (CARB) with 35 local air districts. California's 35 local air districts are the primary agencies that review and issue stationary source air permits. CARB plays an oversight role and generally does not issue preconstruction or operating permits (Cal. Health & Safety Code §§ 39620, 41500). Districts issue an Authority to Construct (ATC) before building or modifying equipment and a Permit to Operate (PTO) once ATC requirements are met; they also run New Source Review and EPA-approved Title V programs. CARB directly regulates oil and gas methane emissions through a statewide regulation enforced with districts.
- StateUtah air permitsUtah Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Utah DAQ requires an Approval Order (AO) before starting construction or operation of emitting equipment, obtained by filing a Notice of Intent under R307-401 (New Source Review section). Small sources may be exempt (R307-401-9), and permits by rule are available for listed emission units (R307-431) and source categories (R307-432). Oil and gas sources on state-jurisdiction lands register once under R307-505 and follow the R307-500 series oil and gas rules. Major sources need nonattainment/maintenance area review (R307-403) or PSD (R307-405) and a Title V operating permit (R307-415). EPA Region 8 is the permitting authority in Indian Country.
- StateColorado air permitsColorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). Colorado uses a two-step system: sources report emissions on an Air Pollutant Emission Notice (APEN) above APEN thresholds, and need a construction permit above facility-wide permit thresholds (Regulation 3, Parts A and B). Lower thresholds apply for VOC and NOx in the Denver Metro/North Front Range ozone nonattainment area. General permits cover common oil and gas equipment, engines, and land development. Major sources need a Title V operating permit (Regulation 3, Part C) and PSD/NNSR review (Regulation 3, Part D). Since June 30, 2026, APENs and construction permit applications must be filed through the online submission tool, and applications require an Environmental Justice Summary.
- StateWest Virginia air permitsWest Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP). WVDEP's Division of Air Quality issues construction, modification, relocation, and temporary permits under 45CSR13 for stationary sources above the rule's thresholds, plus Class I and Class II general permit registrations (filed through the Electronic Submission System), PSD permits (45CSR14), nonattainment NSR permits (45CSR19), and Title V operating permits (45CSR30). Fees are under 45CSR22. A Permit Determination request confirms whether a permit is needed. West Virginia has extensive oil and gas general permits: G70-E for well sites and G35-E for compressor and dehydration facilities. There are no local air agencies.
- StateNew Mexico air permitsNew Mexico Environment Department (NMED). NMED's Air Quality Bureau regulates stationary sources statewide except Albuquerque/Bernalillo County. Depending on emissions, a source may need no permit, a Notice of Intent (20.2.73 NMAC), a minor source construction permit or general construction permit (20.2.72 NMAC), a PSD permit (20.2.74 NMAC), a nonattainment permit (20.2.79 NMAC), and/or a Title V operating permit (20.2.70 NMAC). Most applications use the Universal Application Form and the AQB ePermitting Portal.
- StateKansas air permitsKansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE). Kansas requires a state construction permit (K.A.R. 28-19-300(a)) or, below permit thresholds, a construction approval (28-19-300(b)) before beginning actual construction or modification. Operating permits are Class I (Kansas's Title V permit) or Class II (federally enforceable limits, including permits-by-rule). PSD is implemented under K.A.R. 28-19-350, adopting portions of 40 CFR 52.21. All applications go through KEIMS.
- StateArkansas air permitsArkansas Department of Energy and Environment, Division of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Arkansas DEQ issues registrations, minor source permits, general permits, and Title V permits under APC&EC Rules 18, 19, and 26. Permits must be obtained before construction begins. Minor source permits do not expire; general and Title V permits have five-year terms.
- StateOklahoma air permitsOklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Oklahoma DEQ's Air Quality Division issues permits under OAC 252:100 Subchapter 7 (minor facilities) and Subchapter 8 (Part 70 and major source construction permits), with public participation tiers set by OAC 252:4-7. Options include permit-exempt and de minimis facilities, Permits by Rule (including a Minor Oil and Natural Gas PBR), general permits (including the Oil & Gas Facilities GP), individual minor source construction and operating permits (Tier I), major source/Part 70 permits (Tier II), and PSD permits (Tier III). Minor NSR allows some construction after an administratively complete application, at the applicant's risk.
- StateLouisiana air permitsLouisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ). In Louisiana any source that emits or could emit an air contaminant generally needs an air permit unless an exception applies. Very small facilities are excused by statute (Act 547) or can use the small source exemption (LAC 33:III.501.B.4); insignificant activities are listed in LAC 33:III.501.B.5. Other non-Part 70 facilities get state minor source permits under LAC 33:III.503, or coverage under minor source general permits such as the one for crude oil and natural gas production. Major sources need Part 70 (Title V) permits under LAC 33:III.507, plus PSD or nonattainment NSR for major projects.
- StateMississippi air permitsMississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ). Mississippi requires a Permit to Construct for new facilities unless a facility-wide exclusion under Rule 2.13 applies. Construction permits are PSD (major), PSD-avoidance (moderate sources taking limits), or minor. Operating permits are Title V (Chapter 6), Synthetic Minor Operating Permits, or State Operating Permits for listed significant minor source types; true minor sources need no operating permit. MDEQ charges no air permit application fees; only Title V facilities pay annual fees.
- StateFlorida air permitsFlorida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Florida DEP requires an air construction permit before building or modifying non-exempt emissions units, and an air operation permit to operate. Many small sources qualify for categorical, conditional, or generic exemptions (Rule 62-210.300(3), F.A.C.) or for one of the air general permits (Rule 62-210.310). Minor construction permits are processed by DEP districts or approved local programs; PSD, nonattainment NSR, and power plant permits are processed by the Division. Operation permits are state-only (natural or synthetic minor), federally enforceable state operation permits (FESOP), or Title V (Chapter 62-213).
- IndustryOil & Gas air permittingProduction sites combine many small emission units, which makes equipment inventories and accurate potential-to-emit calculations central to choosing an authorization path.
- IndustryMidstream air permittingCompressor stations and gathering systems are typically engine- and compressor-driven, with dehydration and fugitive emissions as common sources.
