Current through June 14, 2024
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.
14.6.2
Emission Statement
				  Requirements
A. Each facility subject
				  to this section shall submit an emission statement in a format approved by the

				  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

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.
