This must be the E911 address, when available.(6) Mailing Address of the facility.(7) Contact name, telephone number and e-mail address for both a knowledgeable person who can answer questions regarding the emission statement and the responsible official for the organization transmitting the data.(8) SIC/NAICS - The Standard Industrial Classification Code or North American Industry Classification System code which classifies business by products or services.(9) Latitude and Longitude or Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates of the facilityand Method Accuracy Description Codes used to define the accuracy of the geographic data.D.Emissions Information(1) Pollutant Code - The unique code for each reported pollutant assigned by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the Department.(2) Control Status - An indication whether reported emissions are controlled or uncontrolled.(3) Control Device Description(s) - The name and type of control device(s) , their individual capture and control efficiencies (percent), their operational status during the inventory period, and the total capture and control efficiency of all devices.(4) Total Annual Activity/Throughput data - The total annual amount of a measurable factor or parameter that relates directly or indirectly to the emissions of an air pollution source. Depending on the type of source category, activity information may refer to the amount of fuel combusted, raw material processed, product manufactured, or material handled or processed.(5) Annual Emissions - The actual emissions for a facility or process unit - measured or calculated that represent a calendar year. For fugitive (non-stack) emissions of greenhouse gases, emissions may be summed and reported, in aggregate, for the entire facility.(6) Emission Factor - The ratio relating emissions of a specific pollutant to an activity or material throughput level. The source or basis for the emission factor must also be provided.(7) Emission Calculation Method - A code for the method by which the emissions are calculated.(8) Emission Operating Type Code - The code associated with the operating type of emissions being reported (routine, upset, or startup/shutdown).(9) Estimation calculations with documentation supporting all input variables.E.Operating Information(1) Start time (hour) - The start time (if available) that was used to calculate the emissions estimates.(2) Actual Hours -The actual number of hours the equipment or process unit is active or operating during the reporting period. (3) Average Hours Per Day - The hours per day that the emitting equipment or process unit operates, averaged over the inventory period.(4) Average Days Per Week - The days per week that the emitting equipment or process unit operates, averaged over the inventory period.(5) Average Weeks Per Year - The weeks per year that the emitting equipment or process unit operates, averaged over the inventory period.(6) Design Capacity - The measure of the size of a point source, based on the reported maximum continuous throughput or output capacity of the unit. For a boiler, design capacity is based on the reported maximum continuous steam flow, usually in units of million BTU per hour.(7) Maximum Nameplate Capacity - The measure of the size of a generator which is put on the unit's nameplate by the manufacturer. The data element is reported in megawatts or kilowatts.(8) Unit Type Code - A code that identifies the type of emissions unit (e.g., 100="Boiler", etc.)(9) Unit Operating Status Code - A code that identifies the operating status of the emissions unit (e.g., PS="permanently shut down").(10) Unit Operating Status Date - The year in which the unit status is applicable. For units being reported in inventory for the first time, it will be the calendar year minus one.F.Additional Activity/Throughput Data(1) Activity/throughput (monthly) - The throughput on a monthly basis.(2) Activity/Throughput (daily) - If applicable, an estimate of the daily average throughput, including the beginning and ending dates and times that define the emissions period used to estimate the daily activity rate/throughput.(3) Spring Throughput (percent) - The part of throughput or activity for the three Spring months (March, April, and May) of the inventory period. It can be a percentage of the annual activity (e.g., out of 600 units produced per year, 180 are produced in spring = 30%) or a percentage of throughput (e.g., out of 1,000 gallons of fuel burned per year, 300 gallons are burned in the Spring quarter = 30%).(4) Summer Throughput (percent) - The part of throughput or activity for the three Summer months (June, July and August) of the inventory period.(5) Fall Throughput (percent) - The part of throughput or activity for the three Fall months (September, October, and November) of the inventory period.(6) Winter Throughput (percent) - The part of throughput or activity for the three Winter months (December, January, and February) of the inventory period. all from the same calendar year.G.Release Point Data(1) Emission Release Point Type - A code for the physical configuration of the release point (e.g., stack, fugitive, etc.)(2) Latitude and Longitude or Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates of stack or release point and Method Accuracy Description Codes used to define the accuracy of the geographic data.(3) Stack or Release Point Height - The height above the surrounding terrain.(4) Stack or Release Point Diameter - The inner physical diameter.(5) Exit Gas Temperature - The numeric value of an exit gas stream's temperature.(6) Exit Gas Flow Rate - The numeric value of an exit gas's flow rate.(7) Exit Gas Velocity - The numeric value of an exit gas stream's velocity.H.Fuel and Process Parameters(1) SCC (Source classification code) - The process level code that describes the equipment or operation which is emitting pollutants.(2) Fuel parameters (b) Fuel consumption (thousands of gallons of fuel oil, tons of coal or wood, etc.) - monthly and annually(c) Heat Content (annual average of fuel) - The amount of thermal heat energy in the fuel.(d) Sulfur Content (annual average of fuel) - The sulfur content of the fuel, expressed in percent.(e) Ash Content (annual average of fuel) - The inert residual portion of the fuel, expressed in percent.06- 096 C.M.R. ch. 137, § 4
