Information on Air Emission Inventory Certification
The certification procedure is different for 2008. The DNR facility emission inventory information is viewed as draft until we receive the signed certification form. After that certification form is received the database will generate on emission summaries with a watermark of Final.
Certification Administrative Code
Section NR 438.03(5)(c) contains requirements regarding the certification of annual emissions.
"(c) By May 31 of each year, the department shall send each owner or operator of a facility which is required to file an emission inventory report a summary from the department's annual emission inventory of the air contaminants emitted by the facility for the previous year. The owner or operator of a facility required to obtain an air pollution control permit under s. 285.60, Stats., and ch. NR 406, 407 or 408, or which emits volatile organic compounds or nitrogen oxides in an ozone nonattainment area, shall, by June 30 of each year, send a written certification to the department that the summary of its emissions is correct. The certification shall contain the name, title, signature and telephone number of the certifier, the date of certification and a statement that the information contained in the emissions summary is accurate to the best knowledge of the owner or operator of that facility."
How Do I Generate a Certification Form in ARS?
- When you enter ARS will see a screen similar to this. Choose the 'Summary Reports, Rollup & Calculator' hyperlink on the left side navigation.
- The next screen has an active 'Generate Final Report and Certify' button. Clicking on this button generates a 2008 emission summary with a 'Final' watermark. You will see this screen while the report is generated by the computer.
- After the report is generated you must choose whether to continue with the certification procedure or quit. You may view the final report.
- If you believe the final report is sufficient for certification, then click on the I wish to certify button. The computer will generate a certification form in pdf format, that you can print, have signed, and send back to DNR. You may send a scanned copy of the signed certification form to Ralph.Patterson@wisconsin.gov or mai the one-page form to Ralph Patterson, WDNR-AM/7, 101 S. Webster Street, Madison, WI 53707. The computer also retains a copy of the final report.
- If you believe the final report is insufficient, then click on the I do NOT wish to certify button. The computer will not generate a certification form in pdf format and will not retain a copy of the final summary report.
- After the signed certification form is returned to DNR and logged into the database, you will only have access to the final 2008 summary report in the Generate Final Report and Certify area.
