  2. 2013 Annual Air Emissions Inventory Reporting Using MAIRIS Karla Buchanan and Kristen Colby Bureau of Air Quality Maine DEP MAINE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Protecting Maine’s Air, Land and Water

  3. Today’s Agenda • Review of Annual Air Emissions Inventory • Explain MAIRIS Improvements • Demonstrate MAIRIS Reporting • Answer any Questions MAINE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION www.maine.gov/dep

  4. Annual Air Emissions Inventory • DEP’s Chapter 137, “Emission Statements”: • Inventory is required of all licensed sources with the potential to emit certain air pollutants above a minimum reporting level. • If a source is required to report criteria air pollutants, they must also report certain greenhouse gases. MAINE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION www.maine.gov/dep

  5. Criteria Air Pollutants MAINE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION www.maine.gov/dep

  6. Greenhouse Gases • Carbon Dioxide • Methane • Nitrous Oxide • Sulfur Hexafluoride • Other Hydrofluoro-carbons (HFCs) and Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) MAINE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION www.maine.gov/dep

  7. New for 2013 Reporting • Emission Process Status (e.g. fuels): • If a particular process (e.g. wood) was not used in the reporting year you may simply set the operating status to “Not Operational”. • Performance Feature: • The new web platform and database version should improve performance (speed) of the system. However, we are currently working on a new server set up and experiencing some intermittent issues that we hope will be resolved. MAINE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION www.maine.gov/dep

  8. Recent Enhancements • Performance Feature: • Pages refresh faster when you select to view fewer Emissions Units in the side bar. • Facilities with more than 10 pieces of equipment will see an improvement. MAINE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION www.maine.gov/dep

  9. Recent Enhancements • Emission units officially removed from the license should not be displayed in MAIRIS: • Equipment officially removed from a license will be stop dated and will no longer appear on the emission units list. • Equipment will be updated by DEP staff either annually, or upon request. MAINE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION www.maine.gov/dep

  10. Preferred Internet Browsers • Internet Explorer still cannot print/display MAIRIS reports: • DEP recommends Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox • Contact us if you must use Internet Explorer and cannot print a report MAINE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION www.maine.gov/dep

  11. 2013 is Not a HAP Reporting Year • Next year is a HAP reporting year. Let us know if you have any concerns about preparing for 2014 HAP reporting. MAINE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION www.maine.gov/dep

  12. Accounts and Roles • Facility Approvers must have signed MAIRIS User Registration & Digital Signature Agreements on file • Agreement must be notarized • Only one Approver per facility • Facility Editors are added by the Approver • There is a form to update Editors • Consultants can only be Facility Editors MAINE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION www.maine.gov/dep

  13. New User Accounts • New user accounts are created once an agreement is received by DEP • The user receives an e-mail with a single-use password that must be changed. • Facility Approvers answer five challenge questions (security feature). • “MAIRIS Legal Name” is your full name, not your MAIRIS user name. MAINE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION www.maine.gov/dep
