Registering & Permitting Businesses
Many businesses have reduced their air emissions by using improved control technology, properly training employees, maintaining equipment, and practicing good housekeeping. These actions have contributed to Benton County’s good air quality and improvements made over the last few decades.
Benton Clean Air’s regulations, policies and programs are designed to continue forward on this path in order to improve and maintain air quality today and for future generations.
If you are in business, chances are you deal with many public agencies. Benton Clean Air staff works hard to help business owners/managers know and understand the air quality regulations pertaining to their business. These efforts increase compliance, resulting in cleaner air for us all.
