Section 11-60.1-115 - Basis of annual fees for covered sources
Current through February, 2024
(a) For purposes of calculating annual fees for covered sources under section 11-60.1-114, the covered source actual emissions in tons and CO2e tons per year shall be determined by using the following parameters:
(b) If an actual rate of emissions referenced in paragraph (a)(1) cannot be substantiated, the allowable emission rate shall be used to calculate the total annual tonnage of pollutants emitted. If an allowable emission rate is not specified in an air permit or an applicable requirement, the appropriate permit application or AP-42 air pollutant emission factor; 40 CFR Part 98, Mandatory GHG Reporting methodology or emission factor shall be used. If the owner or operator of a covered source cannot provide verifiable documentation on the parameters referenced in paragraph (a)(2), the maximum allowable production, operating hours, amount of material processed or stored, or fuel usage shall be used in calculating the total annual tonnage or CO2e tonnage of regulated air pollutants emitted from the covered source. For GHG emissions, results, methodologies, and emission factors used in complying with 40 CFR Part 98, Mandatory GHG Reporting, are acceptable for reporting actual emissions for the individual emission units, provided appropriate unit conversions are made, and verifiable documentation is provided for any on-site measured parameter used in the calculation. Any fraction of a ton or CO2e ton calculated shall be disregarded for fee purposes. Only the annual tonnage in whole tons of each regulated air pollutant or whole CO2e ton for GHGs shall constitute the basis of annual fees.
(c) The annual fee shall be calculated on fee worksheets furnished by the director. If a fee worksheet is not available for a particular covered source, the owner or operator of a covered source shall provide their own worksheet showing the method, assumptions, emission factors, and calculations used to obtain the total annual emissions in tons and CO2e tons per year, for each regulated air pollutant emitted, as applicable.
