I have receive a "Notice of Violation". What does it mean and what do I do now?

If you have received a Notice of Violation (NOV), it means that you have violated one or more air quality regulations. The NOV serves as official notice of the laws that were violated and of the Inspector's report on the situation. It is important that you read the NOV very carefully. The NOV cannot be appealed. However, you may send written documentation to the BCAA indicating your understanding of the situation.

Thirty days after you receive your NOV, you may receive a Notice of Penalty (NOP). The NOP is the official notice of a fine being levied against you. You may or may not receive an NOP, as one is assigned on a case-by-case basis. The NOP is appealable and several options are presented in the NOP documentation. Again, you should read the documentation very carefully.

If you have any questions, please contact either of the BCAA Inspectors, or .
