Air Quality Control

Update: The City's supply of new gas cans for exchange at UnderTheSink has been exhausted; we do not anticipate receiving any more to exchange. Thank you to all who participated in this program - you've helped decrease VOC emissions in Omaha by over 6 tons per year! To find out more information on this program, click here.

Omaha Air Quality Control is the delegated authority within the Omaha city limits for all activities and sources covered under the Clean Air Act and Nebraska Title 129.  OAQC issues all Air Construction and Air Operating Permits for applicable sources in Omaha, enforces National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) requirements including asbestos regulations, and ensures compliance with local odor and dust ordinances.

See below for a list of the various OAQC programs and their pages.
