Current through April 27, 2019
Section 8-5 - Ozone nonattainment emission inventory rule

(a) Applicability.

  • (i) This rule applies to a facility or source operating in an ozone nonattainment area(s), as identified in 40 CFR part 81, if:
    • (A) The facility or source has been granted permit approval to construct and/or operate under Chapter 6 of the Wyoming Air Quality Standards and Regulations (WAQSR); or
    • (B) It is an individual oil or gas facility or source; or
    • (C) Actual emissions from the stationary facility or source are greater than or equal to twenty-five (25) tons per year of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as defined in Chapter 3, Section 6(a) of the WAQSR, or oxides of nitrogen (NOx).
      • (I) If NOx or VOCs are emitted from a facility or source at or above the applicability threshold identified in subsection (a)(i)(C), both air contaminants must be included in the emission inventory even if one of the air contaminants is emitted at a level below the applicability threshold.
  • (ii) Compliance with emission inventory requirements established under WAQSR Chapter 6, Section 3(f)(v)(G), satisfies the requirements of this rule.

(b) Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements.

  • (i) As specified in the forms required in subsection (b)(v), each emission inventory shall include:
    • (A) Actual emissions of NOx, VOC, and any other air contaminants as determined by the Division Administrator, in tons per year for any calendar year emission inventory, or in tons for any partial year emission inventory;
    • (B) The physical location at which the actual emissions occurred;
    • (C) The name and address of the person or entity operating or owning the facility or source; and
    • (D) The nature of the facility or source.
  • (ii) The emission inventory submittal dates are as follows:
    • (A) By April 30th of each year for all emissions that occurred during the previous calendar year; and
    • (B) No later than ninety (90) days after the end of a partial year inventory for emissions that occurred during the partial year as determined by the Division Administrator.
  • (iii) After the owner or operator submits an emission inventory for all facility or source emissions that occurred during calendar year 2014, the owner or operator shall submit an emission inventory for such facility or source every year thereafter.
  • (iv) Each owner or operator of a facility or source shall maintain a copy of the emission inventory submitted to the Division, and records indicating how the information submitted was determined, including any calculations, data, and measurements used.
    • (A) Records shall be kept for a period of at least five (5) years from the required submittal date listed in subsection (b)(ii) for each emission inventory.
    • (B) The owner or operator of the facility or source shall make the records required in subsection (b)(iv) available for inspection by any representative of the Division upon request.
  • (v) The owner or operator shall submit emission inventories using Division-prescribed hard copy or electronic formats.
  • (vi) All emission inventory submissions shall be certified as being true, accurate, and complete by a responsible official to the best of their knowledge. A responsible official is an individual who is responsible for the data provided in the emission inventory, and who accepts responsibility for the emission accuracy.

(c) Compliance. Compliance with WAQSR Chapter 8, Section 5, does not relieve any owner or operator of a facility or source from the responsibility to comply with any other applicable reporting requirements set forth in any federal or State law, rule or regulation, or in any permit.
