Small Business Environmental Assistance Program
(SBEAP)

Air Quality Permitting
Notice of Intent

If you need assistance with your NOI application, are changing the name of your business, or have purchased a new business and are changing the name, we can set up a pre-NOI meeting. For demolition of structure please contact the ATLAS section. For other permit related questions just reach out. We’ll help you navigate through all the steps.

Storm Water Permitting
Helping Keep Down Stream Clean

The Storm Water Program regulates stormwater discharge, including discharge from construction, industry and more from municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s). Remember, we all live downstream and if we spill chemicals, paints, waste, or sewage it will end up in Utah’s water.

Energy Conservation

The Governor’s Office of Energy Development offers various energy efficiency programs, resources and research for small businesses. They also offer commercial tax credits for alternative energy development, other renewables and well recompletion or workover.

Hazard Chemicals
Making A Safe Workplace

If your business handles a chemical or material that is flammable, corrosive, toxic or reactive then it is a hazardous material. We have compiled a list of forms and informational resources to help you comply with environmental regulations.

Pre-Design Mentorship
Regulation Help From Start To Finish

If you are starting a new business or stepping into an existing business, DEQ can help. We will organize a meeting with Water Quality (storm water, sewage waste), Drinking Water, Hazardous Waste, Waste Management and Air Quality to answer questions about permitting and next steps.

National SBEAP
Small Business Resources & Information

Section 507 of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments requires each state to establish a small business environmental assistance program (SBEAP) to assist with environmental compliance and emission reduction. This national website is a great resource for small business owners.

Tax Incentives
Renewables & Efficiency

Small businesses can save on their utilities by increasing their process operations and electrical efficiency. There are currently 55 different policies and incentives in Utah that can help you save money and reduce emission to the environment, while possibly changing your need for an air permit.
