Did Your Warehouse Miss Its WAIRE Report Deadline?

If SCAQMD flagged your facility for a missing Initial Site Information Report or Annual WAIRE Report, the clock is already running. Plaid Safety gets your WAIRE Program reporting caught up and keeps it that way.

Get Your Facility Compliant
What Is Rule 2305?

The WAIRE Program Isn't Optional — And It's Easy to Miss

South Coast AQMD's Warehouse Actions and Investments to Reduce Emissions (WAIRE) Program applies to warehouses of 100,000 square feet or more in the South Coast Air Basin. It requires an Initial Site Information Report when you register, and an Annual WAIRE Report (AWR) every year after that, whether or not your operations have changed.

Most facilities that get cited aren't hiding from the requirement — they simply didn't know a report was due, missed a deadline buried in an email, or had the person who used to handle it leave the company. The result is the same either way: a Notice of Violation, and daily penalty exposure until it's resolved.

Initial Site Information Report

Due once a facility meets the WAIRE Program threshold. Establishes your facility's baseline data with SCAQMD, including square footage, weighted annual truck trips (WATT), and applicable compliance path.

Annual WAIRE Report (AWR)

Due every year, tracking your WAIRE Points earned against your points requirement based on truck trip activity. Missing this report — even by a few days — is what's landing most facilities on SCAQMD's violation list.

What Happens If You Don't Fix It

An Open Notice of Violation Doesn't Resolve Itself

Each day your facility remains out of compliance with Rule 2305 is technically a separate violation. Left alone, this can mean escalating penalties, involvement from SCAQMD's District Prosecutor's Office, and a compliance history that follows your facility into future inspections and permit reviews.

The good news: this is one of the more straightforward violations to resolve, once someone is actually managing it.

How Plaid Safety Helps

We Handle Your WAIRE Compliance, Start to Finish

  • Catch-up filing. We prepare and submit any overdue Initial Site Information Reports or Annual WAIRE Reports, and communicate directly with SCAQMD on your behalf.
  • WAIRE Points strategy. We calculate your facility's points requirement and map out the most cost-effective mix of actions to meet it — equipment upgrades, operational changes, or the WAIRE Fund payment option.
  • Annual reporting on autopilot. Once you're caught up, we track your deadline and file your Annual WAIRE Report every year, so this never becomes a violation again.
  • Violation response support. If you've already received a Notice of Violation, we help you respond, correct the underlying issue, and document it the way SCAQMD expects.

Behind on Your WAIRE Reporting?

Let's get your facility caught up and set up so this doesn't happen again. Whether you have an open violation or just want to confirm you're on track, we can help.
