Division of Air Resource Management
Thanks to a statewide effort, emissions in Florida continue to decrease and are now the lowest they have been on record. The state of Florida has one of the best outdoor air quality monitoring networks in the country, enabling the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to provide accurate and timely data to the state’s residents and visitors.
The Division of Air Resource Management is charged with the protection and management of Florida’s air resource, including air quality monitoring, permitting, ensuring compliance of emission sources and implementing the Siting Acts.
Through a variety of services for its customers — the public and industry — the division manages Florida’s air resource fairly, consistently and efficiently, while implementing state and federal requirements and enabling the economic development of the state. The division provides these services through its Office of Business Planning, Office of Air Monitoring and Office of Permitting and Compliance.
The division’s Siting Coordination Office implements Florida’s Siting Acts, which establish procedures for licensing the construction and operation of power plants, transmission lines and natural gas pipelines.

2024 Florida Ongoing Data Requirements Final Annual Report
On June 12, 2024, pursuant to the ongoing data requirements of the EPA's DRR in 40 CFR 51.1205, the department submitted the final annual report to EPA for the areas around two DRR-applicable sources in Florida that EPA designated "Attainment/Unclassifiable" for the 2010 one-hour sulfur dioxide (SO2) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) based on modeling of actual SO2 emissions. The two sources subject to the ongoing data requirements are:
- Jacksonville Electric Authority’s (JEA's) Northside Generating Station.
- WestRock CP, LLC’s Fernandina Beach Mill (WestRock).
The DRR requires that these areas be reviewed annually to document the annual SO2 emissions of each applicable source in each such area and determine whether additional modeling is needed to characterize the air quality in any area.
For additional information, please contact Elizabeth Rogers.
