Purpose and Function of District Hearing Board
Local and regional air districts are charged by statute with the primary responsibility to control air pollution from nonvehicular sources. The goal of this effort is to achieve and maintain state and federal ambient air quality standards.
An air district may be seen as having three branches, each serving a different function: legislative, executive, and judicial. The district board of directors performs the legislative function of the district, adopting rules and regulations. The APCO and staff perform the executive function of the district, implementing and enforcing the rules. The District's hearing board performs the judicial function of the district by applying legal criteria to specific factual situations in order to reach decisions which apply to particular sources.
Hearing boards do not make rules, but rather are bound to apply the standards set forth in district rules and regulations and state law to the specific cases brought before them for resolution.
