A. Every source with a Class I permit shall complete and submit to the control officer an annual emissions inventory questionnaire. The questionnaire is due by March 31st, or ninety days after the control officer makes the inventory form available, whichever occurs later, and shall include emission information for the previous calendar year. These requirements apply whether or not a permit has been issued and whether or not a permit application has been filed.
B. The questionnaire shall be on a form provided by or approved by the control officer and shall include the following information:
1. The source's name, description, mailing address, contact person and contact person phone number, and physical address and location, if different than the mailing address.
2. Process information for the source, including design capacity, operations schedule, and emissions control devices, their description and efficiencies.
3. The actual quantity of emissions from permitted emission points and fugitive emissions as provided in the permit, including documentation of the method of measurement, calculation or estimation determined pursuant to subsection C of this section of the following regulated air pollutants:
a. Any single regulated air pollutant in a quantity greater than one ton or the amount listed for the pollutant in the definition of "significant" in Section 17.04.340, whichever is less.
b. Any combination of regulated air pollutants in a quantity greater than 2.5 tons.
C. Actual quantities of emissions shall be determined using the following emission facts or data:
1. Whenever available, emissions estimates shall either be calculated from continuous emissions monitors certified pursuant to 40 CFR 75, Subpart C and referenced appendices, or data quality assured pursuant to Appendix F of 40 CFR 60.
2. When sufficient data pursuant to subsection (C)(1) of this section is not available, emissions estimates shall be calculated from data from source performance tests conducted pursuant to Section 17.11.210 in the calendar year being reported or, when not available, conducted in the most recent calendar year representing the operating conditions of the year being reported.
3. When sufficient data pursuant to subsection (C)(1) or (C)(2) of this section is not available, emissions estimates shall be calculated using emissions factors from EPA Publication No. AP-42 "Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors," Volume I: Stationary Point and Area Sources, Fifth Edition, 1995, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park, NC, including Supplements A through F and all updates published through July 1, 2011 (and no future editions). AP-42 is incorporated by reference and is on file with the Department of Environmental Quality and can be obtained from the Government Printing Office, 732 North Capitol Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20401, telephone (202) 512-1800, or by downloading the document from the web site for the EPA Clearinghouse for Emission Inventories and Emission Factors.
4. When sufficient data pursuant to subsections (C)(1) through (C)(3) of this section is not available, emissions estimates shall be calculated from material balance using engineering knowledge of process.
5. When sufficient data pursuant to subsections (C)(1) through (C)(4) of this section is not available, emissions estimates shall be calculated by equivalent methods approved by the control officer. The control officer shall only approve methods that are demonstrated as accurate and reliable as the applicable method in subsections (C)(1) through (C)(4) of this section.
D. Actual quantities of emissions calculated under subsection C of this section shall be determined on the basis of actual operating hours, production rates, in-place process control equipment, operational process control data, and types of materials processed, stored or combusted.
E. An amendment to an annual emission inventory questionnaire, containing the documentation required by subsection (B)(3) of this section, shall be submitted to the control officer by any source whenever it discovers or receives notice, within two years of the original submittal, that incorrect or insufficient information was submitted to the control officer by a previous questionnaire. If the incorrect or insufficient information resulted in an incorrect annual emissions fee, the control officer shall require that additional payment be made or shall apply an amount as a credit to a future annual emissions fee. The submittal of an amendment under this subsection shall not subject the owner or operator to an enforcement action or a civil or criminal penalty if the original submittal of incorrect or insufficient information was due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect.
F. The control officer may require submittal of supplemental emissions inventory questionnaires for air contaminants pursuant to A.R.S. § 49-476.01.
