Welcome to the Rapid Response Notification Network

You are receiving this notice to let you know you have been added to the Maricopa County Air Quality Department’s Rapid Response Notification System. As an air quality permit holder or air quality environmental liaison in the vicinity of the notable pollution hot spots within the county, we request your help with a quick response to air quality problems in your area.

This collaborative initiative is an effort to curb dust pollution within your control and help preserve clean air within the region of Maricopa County.

When air pollution levels rise, participating Maricopa County air monitoring stations will issue a Rapid Response notification to subscribers. This notice will be sent to permit holders, industry associations, local government agencies, business groups and residents. One you receive notice, we ask you to take action and stabilize all disturbed soils to reduce blowing dust.

When a Rapid Response Notification is broadcast, we invite everyone within our network to inspect their site as soon as possible to reduce dust pollution. This applies to dirt roads, vacant lots and any dust-generating activity.  

In addition, Air Quality Department inspectors will also canvass the affected area. If you see a dust control issue, give us a call at 602-372-2703 to describe the situation, or file a report online at www.maricopa.gov/aq/contact_us/ReportViolation.aspx.

You are specifically signed up for the Buckeye monitoring area. Learn more about the Rapid Response Notification System and subscription areas on our website: www.maricopa.gov/aq. You may choose to sign up to receive future notifications – via either email, or a text message to your cell phone – from any of the 15 monitor locations in the Rapid Response network.  Subscriber preferences and opt-out options are available within the "User Profile Page" preferences listed below.
