Current through December 26, 2024
Section 250-RICR-120-05-14.6 - Emission Statements
14.6.1 Applicability

The owner or operator of any facility emitting VOC or NOx which has or has had actual facility-wide emissions of 25 tons per year or more of either pollutant in 1990 or any year thereafter, shall submit annually an emission statement which includes both pollutants, in accordance with the requirements of §14.6.2 of this Part. Emission statements shall be submitted to the Director on April 15th of each year unless otherwise specified. Emission statements shall be submitted for the calendar year 1992 and for every year thereafter. A facility may apply to the Office of Air Resources to be allowed to discontinue submitting annual emission statements if actual emissions at that facility decrease to below 10 tons per year as a result of a permanent process change.

14.6.2Emission Statement Requirements
A. Each facility subject to this section shall submit an emission statement in a format approved by the Director. The emission statement shall contain the following information:
1. A certification that the information contained in the emission statement is accurate and complete to the best knowledge of the certifying individual.
2. The full name, title, signature, date of signature, and telephone number of the certifying individual.
3. Facility identification information, including the full name, physical location, mailing address, latitude, longitude, and four digit SIC code(s).
4. Process data pertaining to each process emitting VOC and/or NOx, including:
a. Annual and typical ozone season daily fuel use,
b. Annual and typical ozone season daily process rate(s), and,
c. Process throughput while air pollution control equipment was not in operation.
5. Operating data pertaining to each process emitting VOC and/or NOx during the reporting year, including:
a. Percentage annual throughput,
b. Average hours of operation per day during the reporting year and on a typical ozone season day,
c. Average number of days of operation per week during the reporting year and during a typical ozone season week, and,
d. Weeks of operation during the reporting year and during the peak ozone season.
6. Control equipment information, including:
a. Specific primary and secondary control equipment for each process emitting VOC and/or NOx,
b. Current overall control efficiency for each piece of control equipment (indicated by percent capture and percent destruction or removal), and,
c. Control equipment downtime during the reporting year and during the peak ozone season.
7. Emissions information, including:
a. Actual annual and typical ozone season daily emissions of VOC and NOx for each process. Emissions should be reported in tons per year and in pounds per day.
b. A description of the emission calculation method and, if applicable, emission factor(s) used, and,
c. The calendar year for which emissions are reported.
8. Any additional information required by the Director to document the facility's emission statements.
