Administrative Action Permits

The City of Paramount has issued Administrative Action permits to all 16 metal-related businesses in town following in-depth reviews of their application packages. 

Council in 2018 following recommendations by the Air Quality Sub Committee. Through the permitting process, the City gains a clear understanding of business operations and strengthens community partnership on air quality matters in Paramount.

This program is a first of its kind in California and places the following requirements on metal-related companies in Paramount:

  • Metal-related businesses must provide detailed maps of their floor plans and an inventory of their equipment and processes.
  • Metal-related businesses were each required to host an annual informational event where the public was invited to tour the facility and ask questions of the operators. Off-site informational events were also an option. In 2024, the City Council updated the requirement to accommodate virtual facility tours and video presentations.
  • Metal-related businesses must allow an inspection by the City, the SCAQMD, and the Fire Department.

Adhering to the City’s oversight requires metal manufacturing companies to be stronger partners with the community and enable our City staff to have a deeper understanding of the activities taking place within the premises of these companies.

To affirm the City of Paramount’s commitment to transparency, the approved Administrative Action permit application for each business is available below.
