You cannot file for a hearing over the Internet or by facsimile. The Hearing Board is required by law to give public notice of hearings. You'll receive a copy of the notice. AQMD Rule 303 provides a detailed description of all Hearing Board fees. If you file for an interim variance at the same time you petition for a regular or short variance, you pay only one filing fee.
Small businesses are eligible for a discount on some fees.
An AQMD staff person is available to help you determine the amount of excess emissions to be billed. When you come to your hearing, be prepared. Bring all relevant information to form the basis of the six findings listed earlier. You may choose to seek the services of an attorney in presenting your case. If you plan to represent yourself, be sure to know what rules you are violating, your excess emissions, and how and when you plan to come into compliance.
