"I certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision by qualified personnel. The information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I understand that the data provided in this document will be used by the MPCA to calculate a fee, which the facility will be required to pay under Minnesota Rules, part 7002.0065, based on the tons of pollution emitted by the facility."
"I certify under penalty of law that the facility described in registration permit number .... is eligible for the option B registration permit that it was issued and holds and that the facility purchased or used (as stated in the permit application) .... gallons of VOC-containing materials in the 12-month reporting period. I further certify that the eligibility of the facility and the quantity of material reported herein were determined under my direction or supervision by qualified personnel. The information used to determine eligibility and the quantity of material reported herein for the registration permit is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true and accurate. I understand that the information provided in this certification will be used by the MPCA to assess a fee under Minnesota Rules, part 7002.0025, subpart 1, item C, which the facility will be required to pay under Minnesota Rules, part 7002.0065."
Subp. 2. Owner or operator error in reporting data.
If an owner or operator discovers an error in the data after having submitted it to the agency, the owner or operator shall submit corrected data, with a written explanation of the mistake and why it occurred. If the commissioner agrees that the correction is appropriate, the commissioner shall correct the data in the inventory. However, for purposes of assessing the emission fee under part 7002.0025, the commissioner shall not accept any correction submitted by an owner or operator which would result in a reduction of tons emitted if the correction is submitted more than 45 days after the mailing date of the previous year's air emissions summary.
Subp. 3. Mercury emission sources.
Owners or operators of a mercury emission source as defined in part 7005.0100, subpart 23b, must submit an annual emission inventory report of the mercury emissions to the commissioner in a format specified by the commissioner. The report must be submitted on or before April 1 of the year following the year being reported. The initial report must cover the first full calendar year following the effective date of this part. Owners or operators of stationary sources that have air emissions of mercury but that are not mercury emission sources must report every three years.
Subp. 4. Possible mercury emission sources.
If the commissioner determines that a stationary source has activity levels or emission factors that indicate that the source may be a mercury emission source, the commissioner may request that the owners or operators quantify the source's mercury emissions using the methods listed in part 7019.3030, item A. The owners or operators must complete the quantification and submit a report to the commissioner within 120 days of the commissioner's request.
