Permit Guidance: Applying for a Permit

You may get a permit application several different ways:

1. You may download an application in PDF or Word format from the BAPC download page.
2. You may walk-in to BAPC and pick-up an application. BAPC is located at 901 South Stewart St., Suite 4001, Carson City, NV.
3. You may call and request that BAPC mail an application to you. Contact our front office staff at 775-687-9350.
4. You may call and request that BAPC fax an application to you. This service is only available for the forms that are smaller in page number. Contact our front office staff at 775-687-9350.
5. You may call and request that a member of our permit staff e-mail an application to you. Contact our front office staff at 775-687-9350 and they will take your e-mail address and have a member of the permitting staff e-mail the requested documents.

This may appear intimidating at first, but it becomes more comfortable with some background information. In general, the basic concept is to take the material throughput or fuel consumption rate of an emission unit and multiply it by an emission factor to get a quantity of pollutant emitted. The emission factor may be obtained from the EPA in their "AP-42" Emission Factor catalog available at http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ap42/ or from the equipment manufacturer. The trick with calculating emission factors is not to confuse your measurement units and to make sure your final value is in the proper units.

Check out the examples below:

1. Diesel Generator
2. Natural Gas Boiler
3. Conveyor Belt (transfer point on aggregate circuit)
