The Air Pollution Control Code of the Essex Regional Health Commission requires the registration of certain fuel burning units (oil, gas, coal) and air pollution sources and the permitting of incinerators. The Code applies to commercial and industrial facilities, and residential/apartment buildings comprised of eight or more units within the jurisdiction of the Commission.

All registered/permitted facilities are sent renewal notices at the beginning of each registration /permitting cycle. The current registration/permitting cycle extends from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2026.

Any existing or new facility which has not registered/permitted equipment for the current registration/permitting cycle or has added equipment which has already been previously registered with the Commission, may download registration applications, using the links below.

All facilities must submit the General Facility Information form. Equipment inventory forms must be submitted for the specific equipment at each facility. For all other sources of air pollution not specifically indicated please use the Other Emission Sources form.

Any facility which has to permit an incinerator must contact this agency directly.
