About each permit
Annual Air Maintenance Fee (RAPCA)
An auto body shop with a paint spray booth is the business in these ten industries most likely to meet RAPCA, and the ordinary case is the flat $100 a year: a facility subject only to the permit-by-rule regulations in OAC 3745-31-03 is charged per facility rather than per emissions unit. A facility that needs an actual permit is charged $125 for each air emissions unit instead, with surcharges above that for Title V and FEPTIO facilities. The permit itself is not a county document — RAPCA's own permitting page states that 'RAPCA reviews the air pollution permit applications and prepares air pollution permits that are issued by Ohio EPA' — so what is county-level here is the annual maintenance fee, assessed on the facility's status at 31 December and invoiced annually for the previous calendar year, with a 25 per cent penalty for late payment. Read the amounts with their date in mind: the schedule RAPCA publishes from its industrial-permitting page is headed 'SCHEDULE A - MAINTENANCE FEE SYSTEM' and dated 1 June 2019, and no successor schedule is published, so these are 2019 figures that RAPCA continues to publish as its Montgomery County schedule rather than figures set this year. Confirm the current invoice amount with RAPCA at 937-225-4435 before budgeting. Whether a body shop qualifies for permit-by-rule is a state test, not a county one: Ohio EPA's notification form for auto body refinishing facilities asks whether the facility uses 'less than 3,000 gallons of all paints, solvents and other coatings per year', does 'less than 50 jobs per week', uses 'HVLP or electrostatic spray equipment for all paints and coatings applied by spraying' and has 'two or less spray booths for painting', and states that 'answering No to any question disqualifies the facility from the PBR.' RAPCA covers six counties; the schedule cited here is the Montgomery County one, and the schedule also states that 'No fee shall be demanded or collected for any church, public or parochial school.'
Asbestos and Demolition Notification Fee (RAPCA)
A contractor demolishing a commercial building in Montgomery County, or stripping asbestos-containing material out of one, files a notification with RAPCA and pays a banded fee: $75 for a demolition with no asbestos work and for small quantities of regulated asbestos-containing material, $200 in the middle band, and $350 where 5,000 feet or more is involved. This is separate from, and additional to, the county's $350 commercial demolition building permit, and the two agencies have different filing timetables, so a demolition budget needs both lines. RAPCA is a bureau of Public Health's Office of Environmental Health and handles this work for the six-county Metropolitan Dayton region, but the schedule used here is its Montgomery County one. The date on that schedule matters: it is headed 'SCHEDULE A - MAINTENANCE FEE SYSTEM' and dated 1 June 2019, it is the schedule RAPCA links today from its industrial-permitting page, and no successor is published — so these are 2019 amounts still being published rather than amounts set this year, and a contractor should confirm the current figure with RAPCA at 937-225-4435 before filing. The schedule also states that permit, environmental sampling and emissions testing fees are invoiced quarterly, while facility maintenance fees are invoiced annually.
