Division of Air Pollution Control
Daniel J. Aleman, Administrator

This Division is responsible for checking the compliance status of companies with air pollution sources by reviewing required reports, on site inspections, requesting compliance tests, and investigating citizens' complaints. Air Pollution Control is responsible for all of Stark County. This jurisdiction is made possible by an annual contract between the Canton Board of Health and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.

Various other air pollution duties are also required including inspections of asbestos removal activities, checking for vehicle emission control tampering, checking lead content in gasoline, maintaining an emission inventory system for major sources of pollution, inspecting sources of hazardous air pollutants, investigating illegal open burning, and developing an air toxics program. For questions, please call (330) 489-3385 during normal business hours.

Title V Program
Since the inception of the Title V program in early 1995, the Air Pollution Control Division has devoted nearly 60% of its resources to Title V permit application review and permit preparation. Title V was designed to separate larger industrial polluters from smaller ones. Before Title V, both small and large industries were subject to flat rate permit application fees which were unfair to smaller corporations that had minimal air emissions. Now, larger pollution producers are billed on tonnage of pollution emitted per year. The permit review process is complicated and arduous. Some Title V permit application can contain as many as 1000 pages of information and cover over 100 individual sources.
