Air Quality Standard Permit for Temporary Public Works Projects

The Air Quality Standard Permit for Temporary Public Works Projects is authorized under Title 30, Texas Administrative Code (30 TAC) Sections 116.601-615 .

Quick Screen

To determine whether your facility qualifies for this Standard Permit, first consider these screening questions:

• Will the concrete batch plant (A) occupy the designated site for no more than 180 consecutive days, or (B) supply concrete for a single project (single contract or same contractor for related project segments) but not other unrelated projects?
• Will the concrete batch plant be located in or contiguous to the right-of-way of the public works project it supports?
• Will the concrete batch plant comply with the following production limits:
• No more than 200 cubic yards in any one hour (truck mix plants);
• No more than 300 cubic yards in any one hour (central mix plants);
• No more than 350,000 cubic yards in any rolling 12-month period (any plant).
• Will the concrete batch plant comply with the standard permit’s limitations on operating hours or daily production, required setback distances, and other requirements?

If your facility meets the conditions of these screening questions, review the standard permit and its criteria for your situation. If your facility meets the applicable requirements and conditions, you may register this standard permit.

If your concrete batch plant cannot meet the conditions of this standard permit, or the Standard Permit for Concrete Batch Plants, see Types of New Source Review Authorizations for other options.
