About each permit
Vehicle Refinishing / Auto-Body Coating Work-Practice Standard
Article XXI §2105.75 itself carries no fee: it is a stand-alone work-practice and emission-limit standard, not a fee-bearing permit. It directly reaches ordinary auto-body and collision-repair paint work at any auto-repair shop in Allegheny County, with only three narrow named exceptions (work also covered by the separate metal-parts-finishing section, work at an automobile assembly plant, or uncompensated work) and no facility-size threshold. It sets VOC-content ceilings by coating type in Table 2105.75 (for example 5.0 lb VOC/gallon for a single-stage or 2-stage basecoat/clearcoat automotive topcoat), requires low-emission application equipment such as HVLP, electrostatic or airless spray, and imposes spray-gun-cleaning, housekeeping and employee-training requirements. Whether a given shop additionally needs an ACHD installation or operating permit under the Department's general Air Quality fee regulation is a separate, case-by-case determination the Department makes on request; contact ACHD Air Quality Program at aqpermits@alleghenycounty.us for that determination.
