Emissions Data is a Foundation

  • f CARB’s Programs
  • Understand sources of different air pollutants
  • Support state and federal programs including:
  • Regional air planning
  • Toxics risk reduction
  • Regulatory development
  • Track progress of CARB’s programs

Integrated Approach to Emission Inventory

  • Provide enhanced transparency and public

right-to-know

  • New legislative mandates under AB 197 and AB 617
  • Modernize and integrate data management processes
  • Dramatically improve access to data in user-friendly forms, such as

maps and graphs

  • Harmonize data submittal requirements, methods, deadlines, frequency

(i.e., annual data updates), and Facility IDs

  • Enhance quality assurance/quality control methods
  • Collect supplemental data to identify localized and cumulative

impacts

AB 617 Overview

  • Accelerated retrofit of pollution controls on

industrial facilities

  • Increased penalty provisions
  • Specified stationary source emissions

reporting requirements

  • Community emissions reduction programs
  • Community-level air quality monitoring
  • Grants to local community groups

Statewide requirements Community focused framework

Criteria and Toxics Emissions Reporting Program

  • Develop statewide regulation with phased approach
  • Increase data accessibility, consistency, public access,

support program needs Phase 1 Phase 2

  • Establish applicability
  • Annual reporting
  • Provide reporting

requirements for sources

  • Phase-in uniform,

statewide methodologies for sources

  • Develop reporting portal

Applicability: Sources Subject to Regulation (1)

  • “Stationary sources” subject to requirements:
  • Subject to GHG Mandatory Reporting Regulation (MRR)
  • Approximately 600 MRR facilities
  • Will include approximately 800+ specific sources due to differences in

facility definitions for oil & gas production and other sectors

  • r
  • Authorized to emit 250 tons per year or more of a

nonattainment criteria pollutant or its precursors

  • Less than 40 facilities not already covered under MRR

Applicability: Sources Subject to Regulation (2)

  • r
  • Receives an “elevated” Air Toxics Hot Spots prioritization

score based on cancer or noncancer health impacts

  • About 500 facilities initially, based on “elevated” determinations
  • Seeking discussion on a regulatory description of “elevated” for

applicability determination

  • r
  • All permitted sources within “communities”
  • Highly detailed inventories will be developed for selected communities,

including stationary, area, and mobile sources

  • Likely 10’s to 100’s of additional facilities in communities

Scope of Chemicals Annually Reported

  • Criteria pollutants
  • NOx, SOx, PM, VOCs, CO
  • Toxics pollutants
  • Consistent with the Air Toxics Hot Spots program; AND
  • CAPCOA Air Toxics “Hot Spots” Program Facility Prioritization

Guidelines

  • Appendix B, List of Substances for Emission Quantification,

August 2016

Data To Be Reported

  • Data will be reported at the device and process level,

consistent with current district criteria and toxics reporting standards

  • Proposed regulation to include phased-in requirements

for supplemental data reporting

  • Stack heights and locations, precise facility location

information, data about the footprint of facility, etc.

  • Reported once, updated as needed

ACARB

SLIDE 13

Cessation of Reporting

  • Facilities that meet MRR cessation requirements and do

not meet other applicability criteria

  • Facilities that do not meet other applicability triggers,

and have criteria emissions <250 tons per year

  • Facilities that do not meet other applicability triggers,

and are not identified as having an “elevated” toxics prioritization score

  • Regions no longer identified as active communities

Phase 1 Reporting : 2018 – 2019 Data

  • Propose that facility data be submitted to districts by ? of

each year

  • Propose that data be reviewed and finalized by August 1 of

each year

  • For 2018 and 2019 data, “business as usual”
  • EXCEPT: Annual update of criteria and toxics emissions for

applicable facilities

  • Air districts collect emissions or throughput data, and calculate/QA

emissions

  • Use existing “best available” methods
  • Air districts submit emissions data to CEIDARS database by email
  • r upload

Phase 2 Reporting: 2020+ Data

  • Phase 2: Phase-In uniform methods and reporting portal
  • Starting with 2020 data reported in 2021
  • Gradual phase-in of developed “uniform statewide system” and methods
  • Expand applicability scope (e.g., potential to emit (250 tpy), clustered

facilities)

  • For 2020+ data, provide options for a state-operated
  • nline, electronic data reporting system
  • Data reporting co-managed with air districts
  • Provide mechanism for upload/download of transaction files
