Emissions Data Reports
(1)
Regulated entities must monitor emissions and submit emissions data reports to DEQ following the requirements specified in this division. Individual emissions data reports are identified as follows:(a)
An individual emissions data report must be submitted by each air contamination source required to register and report under OAR 340-215-0030 (Applicability)(2) for each individual permitted source or facility identified under that section;(b)
An individual emissions data report including emissions from all electric power system facilities located in Oregon must be submitted by an investor-owned utility required to register and report under OAR 340-215-0030 (Applicability)(2)(c)(C);(c)
An individual emissions data report must be submitted by each fuel supplier and in-state producer required to register and report under OAR 340-215-0030 (Applicability)(3);(d)
An individual emissions data report must be submitted by each natural gas supplier and in-state producer required to register and report under OAR 340-215-0030 (Applicability)(4);(e)
An individual emissions data report must be submitted by each electricity supplier required to register and report under OAR 340-215-0030 (Applicability)(5) and by any third-party that reports on behalf of a consumer-owner utility. A third-party reporting on behalf of a consumer-owned utility must also include all information described under OAR 340-215-0120 (Requirements for Electricity Suppliers)(4) and (5), as applicable;(f)
An individual emissions data report submitted by each asset-controlling supplier seeking designation by DEQ must include all information described under OAR 340-215-0120 (Requirements for Electricity Suppliers)(7);(g)
An individual emissions data report must be submitted by the owner or operator of a facility containing petroleum and natural gas systems required to register and report under OAR 340-215-0030 (Applicability)(6) and must include all emissions and related information described in OAR 340-215-0125 (Requirements for Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems);(2)
Regulated entities must:(a)
Utilize registration and reporting tools approved and issued by DEQ for all certifications and submissions;(b)
Submit and certify completed registration and emissions data reports. A separate emissions data report must be submitted for each sector and for each individual air contamination source, and must include all data and information as required by OAR 340-215-0105 (Requirements for Air Contamination Sources) through OAR 340-215-0125 (Requirements for Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems), as applicable; and(c)
Submit and certify any revisions to emissions data reports. If a regulated entity identifies an error in a submission, or is notified of such an error, the regulated entity must submit a revision to correct the error within 45 days of discovery. Regulated entities subject to the requirements under OAR chapter 340 division 272 must submit revisions in compliance with division 272.(3)
Emissions data reports submitted to DEQ must include the following information:(a)
Facility name or supplier name (as appropriate), facility or supplier ID number, and physical street address of the facility or supplier, including the city, state, and zip code;(b)
Year and months covered by the report;(c)
Date of submittal;(d)
All information required by this division to calculate and report greenhouse gas emissions;(e)
Annual emissions of each greenhouse gas, as required under this division; and(f)
A certification from the designated representative as required under OAR 340-215-0040 (Greenhouse Gas Registration and Reporting Requirements)(1).(4)
Increases or decreases in emissions. In addition to the requirements of section (3), if a regulated entity subject to OAR 340-215-0105 (Requirements for Air Contamination Sources) submits an emissions data report that indicates emissions equaled or exceeded 25,000 MT CO2e during the previous year, then the regulated entity must include the following information in the emissions data report:(a)
Whether a change in operations or status resulted in an increase or decrease of more than five percent in emissions of greenhouse gases in relation to the previous data year; and(b)
If there is an increase or decrease of more than five percent in emissions of greenhouse gases in relation to the previous year, the regulated entity must provide a brief narrative description of what caused the increase or decrease in emissions. Include in this description any changes in air contamination source permit status.(5)
Reporting biomass-derived fuels.(a)
In addition to the requirements of section (3), a regulated entity reporting biomass-derived fuels must separately identify, calculate, and report all direct emissions of CO2 resulting from the combustion of biomass-derived fuels, as provided in this section.(b)
When reporting fuel combustion and emissions from gaseous or liquid biomass-derived fuels, report the following information for each contracted delivery:(A)
Name and address of the vendor from which the fuel is purchased;(B)
Name, address, and facility type of the facility from which the fuel is produced; and(C)
Annual amount delivered by each vendor in MMBtu for biomethane, standard cubic feet for other gaseous fuels, and gallons for liquid fuels.(6)
Regulated entities subject to the requirements of 40 C.F.R. 98.3(i) must meet those requirements for data used in developing emissions data reports.
