NC Reporting (Permit) Categories
NC’s Point Source Inventory is very “permit oriented”Emissions are reported to state by the facilities– 97 Counties handled by State; 3 Counties by local
agenciesTitle V PermitsSynthetic MinorSmall

NC Reporting Categories
Title V Permits– Required by CAA– Cover major sources (>100, 25, 10 tons
potential)– Basis for Fees (Annually) – Requirement to invoice facilities– Help fund the program– ~ 375 facilities in North Carolina – was 600
Jim Southerland QEP, NC DENR, April 2005

NC Reporting CategoriesNon-TV– Synthetic Minor –
• “could have been” Title V –• ~ <600 Facilities
– Small• From ~3 to 5 tons upward to Syn Minor & TV• ~2000+ Facilities
Traditionally in NC, these have been completed each third year (e.g. 1996, 1999) – Now NC does each 5th year (rolling -20%/year)– Required at time of & condition of permit renewal– Below CERR Thresholds

SmallsSmalls may only have a boiler or a few emitting processes OR may be large, but with few emissionsde minimus for requiring a permit and becoming a point source reporting is ~3 to 5 tons per yearSome Smalls may be large enough to be Title V if they increase their operations and schedules, but take permit limitations to avoidThey represent a very mixed group as relates to ability and sophistication of staff for emission reportingFor many, reporting to EPA is normally not required
Jim Southerland QEP, NC DENR, April 2005
10
Other Categories- DefineNon-Permitted sources include – Dry cleaners– Gasoline Service Stations– Auto body repair– Furniture rehabilitation shops– Very small boilers and other shop operations– Reporting to USEPA is not required individually
Area and Mobile sources are generally compiled only– When models will be run for regional ozone – Or PM problem analyses

EPA’s Combined Emissions Reporting Rule (CERR-2002) for NC
Criteria Pollutant Reporting MinimumsNOX - 2500 tons/year (83%) or 100 tpy (~97%) CO - 2500 tons/year (58%) or 1000 tpy (~75%)SOx – 2500 tons/year (94%) or 100 tpy (~99%) VOC – 250 tons/year (65%) or 100 tpy (~88%) PM10 – 250 tons/year (78%) or 100 tpy (~85%)PM2.5 - 250 tons/year (83%) or 100 tpy (~91%)

NC HAP Data Collection and Reporting to EPA
Hazardous/Toxic Air PollutantsNC tracks ~240 Pollutants: (187 HAPs) + State TAPs We currently are/plan reporting area/mobile sources 3rd year + SIPsSome Risk Assessment done for TAPsFacilities Report & DAQ regional staff enter or review resulting dataReported to EPA annually for convenience and reviewed/verified with 3rd year EPA cycle
Jim Southerland QEP, NC DENR, April 2005
13
QA and Validation –Point Sources
NC has inspections, semi-randomly on a schedule of approximately once per yearCalculations documentation is required to be submitted by facilityThe calculations are reviewed upon receipt and validated when making inspectionsNew web entry data system (ED/AERO) has many checks to prevent unreasonable data entry and identifies many outliers- makes comparisons with past data
Jim Southerland QEP, NC DENR, April 2005
14
Incentives to Facilities
Reporting Required by State statutesReporting further defined in State/DAQ RulesPenalties of up to $10,000/day for not reportingFor TV, fraudulent reporting can result in “Cell Time” and/or significant fines
Jim Southerland QEP, NC DENR, April 2005
15
Incentives & Support to Facilities
NC DAQ strives to be “customer friendly” and assist facilities whenever needed– Personal Attention– Training Sessions/Workshops, etc.– Tools + Links to EPA Tools
Many facilities hire consultants and DAQ steers them in the right direction when possibleNC DAQ provides AP-42 based assists for emission calculations

I-Beam/ED/AERO - definitions
I-Beam is Departmental, multimedia system – Partly in use (e.g. air), partly a gleam– Links with EPA’s “Super-all media system”
ED is NC DAQ’s internally accessed part of emission inventory systemAERO is web interface and (temporary) data storage tool for facility direct entryBoth were developed in-house (3-4 years)

Some Measures to Assure Best Inventory Possible
Have the data users involved in the decision process for data collection Use the same language – subtle meanings Make sure the data submitter is clear on what is required and how the data are to be usedMake sure that the hand-off of data to next party includes awareness of details, problems, issues and other caveatsDon’t screw up the arithmetic!

Conclusions
NC Inventory is fairly typical– It has flaws– It provides pretty good estimates
Data System is Critical ComponentAll parts of AQ Management must work together with same dataTeamwork is important – the system is “sacred”
