NR 484.05 (8), or in the EPA’s online database of emissions factors for criteria and hazardous air pollutants. Other emission factors or methods, including mass balance or other use reporting, consumption and analytical methodologies, or continuous emissions monitoring data, if applicable, may be used by the department. NR 438.03 NoteNote: The EPA’s WebFIRE database of emissions factors for criteria and hazardous air pollutants is available at https://cfpub.epa.gov/webfire/. NR 438.03(5)(b)(b) The actual annual emissions determined by the department under par. (a) shall constitute the department’s annual emissions inventory. NR 438.03(5)(c)(c) By May 31 of each year, the department shall send each owner or operator of a facility that is required to file an emissions inventory a notification that an emissions inventory summary report of the air contaminants emitted by the facility for the previous year has been created by the department. The owner or operator of a facility required to obtain an air pollution control permit under s. 285.60, Stats., and ch. NR 405, 406, 407, or 408, or that emits volatile organic compounds or nitrogen oxides in an ozone nonattainment area, shall, by June 30 of each year, send a written certification to the department that its emissions inventory summary report is correct. The certification shall contain the name, title, signature, and telephone number of the responsible official, the date of certification, and a statement that the information contained in the emissions inventory summary report is accurate to the best knowledge of the owner or operator of that facility. NR 438.03(6)(6) Disputed emissions. Any facility that disputes the emissions inventory summary report created by the department under sub. (5) (c) may request, in writing, that the department review its emissions inventory summary report. The department shall review and supply to the facility, within 14 calendar days of receipt of the facility’s written request, information used to prepare the emissions inventory summary report for that facility. If the facility continues to dispute the emissions inventory summary report, it shall supply to the department, within 14 calendar days of receipt of the department’s information, the reasons it disputes the report. The facility shall be notified within 7 calendar days of receipt of this information of the department’s decision on whether to adjust the emissions inventory and recreate the emissions inventory summary report. If the facility continues to dispute the emissions inventory summary report, it may appeal the department’s final decision pursuant to state law. The responsible official for the facility shall certify any emissions not in dispute by June 30 of each year. NR 438.03 HistoryHistory: Cr. Register, May, 1993, No. 449, eff. 6-1-93; am.
