Air Quality Compliance is an environmental law field ensuring business activities comply with atmospheric air protection standards. This service is identical to Service #813 ("Air Quality Compliance"), indicating its relevance across categories. Industrial facilities, construction companies, and vehicle fleets are obliged to control harmful substance emissions. Legislation requires filter installation, implementation of online monitoring systems, and regular reporting. Non-compliance leads not only to fines but also to business suspension and criminal liability if pollution causes significant environmental damage.

Environmental lawyers represented on the Legal.ge platform offer a full air quality compliance package. Services include:

  • Emission Permit Management: Developing the project for Maximum Permissible Emission (MPE) norms and agreeing it with the Ministry.
  • Technical Compliance: Legal oversight of dust collection equipment efficiency checks and implementation of self-monitoring systems.
  • Inspection Management: Protecting company interests during inspections by the Department of Environmental Supervision and appealing protocols.
  • Risk Assessment: Identifying potential pollution sources and developing preventive measure plans.
  • Training: Educating personnel on environmental obligations.

Air quality compliance services are needed in the following scenarios:

  • A factory is required to replace old filters to meet new standards. A lawyer helps the company negotiate reasonable deadlines with the Ministry.
  • A construction company was fined for dust spread. A lawyer prepares a complaint and evidence that dust reduction measures were followed.
  • Residents complain about unpleasant odors from an enterprise. A lawyer manages communication with the community and the regulator.
  • A company needs to purchase a continuous emission monitoring system. A lawyer checks the contract with the supplier and system certification issues.
