Small Business Clean Air Assistance Program

Process or Operation Specific Regulations

Important note! The Small Business Clean Air Assistance Program is moving. Beginning July 1, 2011, the SBCAAP will be located in Wisconsin's Department of Natural Resources. For the new address and phone numbers, see the Contact Information at the bottom of our program home page.

When establishing regulations on air pollution, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have set certain requirements specific to an air pollutant of concern. When a particular operation found at a wide range of industries is known to emit high levels of that air pollutant, a rule may be written to reduce emissions from that operation--right down to the piece of equipment affected.
