Amending Sections 3-306 and 3-401 of Title 3 ("Air Management Code") of The Philadelphia Code, to eliminate dual licensing and permitting requirements on air contaminant emitting facilities, and to clarify air pollution control standards, all under certain terms and conditions.

AI summary

This enacted bill amends Philadelphia’s Air Management Code so air-contaminant-emitting facilities with a permit under the city’s air-pollution program do not also need a separate license or permit under another section. It also clarifies that the city’s air-pollution standards must be at least as strict as applicable Pennsylvania and federal requirements.
