after reasonable inquiry, the statements and information in the document are
true, accurate, and complete.
4. An amendment to an emissions inventory
questionnaire, containing the documentation required by subsection (A)(3),
shall be submitted to the Director by any source whenever it discovers or
receives notice, within two years of the original submittal, that incorrect or
insufficient information was submitted to the Director by a previous emissions
inventory questionnaire. The amendment shall be submitted to the Director
within 30 days of discovery or receipt of notice. If the incorrect or
insufficient information resulted in an incorrect annual emissions fee, the
Director shall require that additional payment be made or shall apply an amount
as a credit to a future annual emissions fee. The submittal of an amendment
under this subsection shall not subject the owner or operator to an enforcement
action or a civil or criminal penalty if the original submittal of incorrect or
insufficient information was not due to willful neglect.
5. The Director may require submittal of
supplemental emissions inventory questionnaires for air contaminants pursuant
to A.R.S. §§
49-422,
49-424, and
49-426.03 through
49-426.08.
B. Emissions Statement Requirements
1. Any stationary source located in an ozone
nonattainment area that has actual emissions of 25 tons or more of nitrogen
oxides (NOx) or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during
the calendar year shall complete and submit to the Director an emissions
statement no later than June 1 of the following year, except as provided in
subsection (B)(5).
2. The emissions
statement shall be on an electronic or paper form provided by the Director and
shall require the following information for the previous calendar year:
a. The source's name, description, mailing
address, contact person and contact person phone number, and physical address
and location, if different than the mailing address.
b. Process information for the source,
including design capacity, throughput, operations schedule, and emissions
control devices, their description and efficiencies.
c. Actual emissions of
NOx and VOC including documentation of the method of
measurement, calculation, or estimation, determined pursuant to subsection
(C).
d. A certification by a
responsible official of truth, accuracy, and completeness. This certification
shall state that, based on information and belief formed after reasonable
inquiry, the statements and information in the document are true, accurate, and
complete.
3. If either
NOx or VOC annual emissions are greater than or equal to
25 tons, the other pollutant shall be included in the emissions statement even
if less than 25 tons.
4. An
amendment to an emissions statement, containing the documentation required by
subsection (B)(2), shall be submitted to the Director by any source whenever it
discovers or receives notice, within two years of the original submittal, that
incorrect or insufficient information was submitted to the Director by a
previous emissions statement. The amendment shall be submitted to the Director
within 30 days of discovery or receipt of notice. The submittal of an amendment
under this subsection shall not subject the owner or operator to an enforcement
action or a civil or criminal penalty if the original submittal of incorrect or
insufficient information was not due to willful neglect.
5. A source that submits an emissions
inventory questionnaire under subsection (A) is exempt from subsection (B)
requirements for that submission year.
C. Emissions Estimation Methodology
D.2. Actual
quantities of emissions calculated under subsection (C) shall be determined on
the basis of actual operating hours, production rates, in-place process control
equipment, operational process control data, and types of materials processed,
stored, or combusted.
1. Actual quantities of emissions shall be
determined using the following emission factors or data. 1.a. Whenever available,
emissions estimates shall either be calculated from continuous emissions
monitors certified pursuant to 40 CFR 75, Subpart C and referenced appendices,
or data quality assured pursuant to Appendix F of 40 CFR 60.
2.b. When
sufficient data pursuant to subsection (C)(1)(a) is not available, emissions
estimates shall be calculated from data from source performance tests conducted
pursuant to
R18-2-312 in the calendar year
being reported or, when not available, conducted in the most recent calendar
year representing the operating conditions of the year being reported.
3.c. When sufficient data
pursuant to subsection (C)(1)(a) or (b) is not available, emissions estimates
shall be calculated using emissions factors from EPA Publication No. AP-42
"Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors," Volume I: Stationary Point and
Area Sources, Fifth Edition, 1995, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
Research Triangle Park, NC, including Supplements A through F and all updates

estimates shall be calculated from material balance using engineering knowledge
of process.
5.e. When sufficient data
pursuant to subsections (C)(1)(a) through (d) is not available, emissions
estimates shall be calculated by equivalent methods approved by the Director.
The Director shall only approve methods that are demonstrated as accurate and
reliable as one of the methods in subsections (C)(1)(a) through (d).
E.An amendment to an annual emission inventory questionnaire,
containing the documentation required by subsection (B)(3), shall be submitted
