- Chapter NR 410 -Air Permit, Emission, and Inspection Fees (exit DNR)
- Chapter NR 438-Air Contaminant Emission Inventory Reporting Requirements (exit DNR)
- Chapter 285, Wis. Stats. (exit DNR)
Data Certification
At the initial submittal of air emission inventory information, there is no certification requirement because the air emissions are not calculated and so are not final. You will receive a final emission summary at the end of May with a blank certification form. If you are satisfied with your emission calculations for your facility, we will ask you to have a responsible corporate official sign the certification form and send the signed form back to DNR.
Data Usage
Air emissions inventory data is used by DNR in state implementation plan development, fulfilling open records requests, partially funding the air management program, and completing trends analyses of various pollutants over the entire state.
Deadlines
Section NR 438.03(2), Wis. Adm. Code, requires that a facility file its an annual emission inventory with DNR by Monday, March 2, 2009 but allows a company a two week extension until Monday, March 16, 2009 for submission of these reports. If you are interested in obtaining this time extension contact your regional air emission inventory contact. He or she can give you the time extension over the telephone, via email, etc.
Reporting Exemption
If you believe none of the air pollutants emitted by your facility in 2008 exceeded the levels specified in Table 1 of NR 438.03, Wis. Adm. Code, (exit DNR) you are not required to report air emissions for 2007. If you believe this is the case call your regional air contact.
Reporting Requirements
Section NR 438.03, Wis. Admin. Code (exit DNR), requires any person owning or operating a facility which emits an air contaminant in quantities above the reporting levels listed in Table 1 of NR 438.03, Wis. Adm. Code, except indirect sources of air pollution, to annually submit an air emissions inventory report.
