Stationary-Source Project Approval Notice: Hexavalent Chromium Plating Facilities That Qualify as Small Businesses
This is CARB's notice of approval of South Coast Air Quality Management District's (AQMD) submitted Project Plan to provide additional funding for chrome plating facilities classified as small businesses to install add-on air pollution control devices to control hexavalent chromium emissions. For the purposes of this program, a small business is defined as a facility that is independently owned and operated with average annual gross receipts of three million dollars ($3,000,000) or less, averaged over the previous three years, and with 25 or fewer employees. Facilities that are not small businesses are still able to receive incentive funds if a proposed project results in hexavalent chromium emission reductions beyond regulatory requirements, however, these facilities would be subject to requirements in Chapter 4 of the 2019 CAP Guidelines.
