Notice to Warehouse Owners and Operators of
January 31, 2025 Annual WAIRE Report (AWR) Deadline
WHAT IS RULE 2305: The South Coast Air Quality Management District (South Coast AQMD) Rule 2305, also known as the
Warehouse Indirect Source Rule (ISR) or the Warehouse Actions and Investments to Reduce Emissions (WAIRE) Program,
was adopted in May 2021. This rule is focused on improving air quality by reducing emissions from warehouses and the
vehicles and mobile equipment attracted to warehouses.
APPLICABLE WAREHOUSES: Rule 2305 applies to owners and operators of warehouses located in the South Coast
AQMD jurisdiction with at least 100,000 square feet of indoor floor space in a single building.
ANNUAL WAIRE REPORT (AWR): The AWR is a mandatory annual report for applicable warehouse operators, due by
January 31 each year, that identifies the actions and investments completed by the warehouse operator in the prior calendar
year to comply with rule requirements.
• Reports must be submitted via the WAIRE Program Online Portal (WAIRE POP).
• Applicable warehouse operators must submit an AWR detailing the actions and investments they completed to earn
WAIRE Points and demonstrate compliance with the rule.
• The AWR submission will be considered complete once both the certified AWR and fee payment are received (see
Rule 316 for fee amount).
ASSISTANCE AND SUPPORT: To help affected businesses comply, South Coast AQMD offers resources on the WAIRE
Program Webpage including:
• WAIRE Implementation Guidelines and Frequently Asked Questions
• WAIRE User Calculator and online training videos covering a range of topics, and
• WAIRE POP webtool for submission of all reports and fees.

Submitting the AWR in advance of the deadline is highly encouraged as response times may be delayed due to a high
volume of inquiries.
