Revised Emissions Reporting and Fee Rule

The state of Missouri recently revised the emissions reporting and fee rule, 10 CSR 10-6.110, to reduce the reporting burden on industry and provide staff with more time to quality assure emissions data. The list below details the revised rule and requirements. The changes become effective in January 2008.

All facilities, regardless of permit types, must pay emission fees annually.

The 2007 emission fee is $40 per ton of emissions.

The reporting frequency has been reduced for sources with Basic Operating Permits and for sources with No Operating Permit.

Under the new reduced reporting requirements, facilities with a Basic Operating Permit will report full Emissions Inventory Questionnaires every three years instead of annually.
Those with no operating permit will submit full EIQs every six years instead of every five.
Some NOP sources are required to submit an Emissions Inventory Questionnaire because of the language in the construction permit.
For the upcoming 2007 reporting year, Basic and NOP sources will only need to sign and submit a one-page form, either EZ EIQ for Basic sources or a Fee Only EIQ for NOP sources. These one-page forms summarize the emissions reported in the last full EIQ and require submission of an emission fee.

Facilities with a Part 70 or Intermediate operating permit will continue to report full EIQs on an annual basis.

The next reporting year, 2008, all sources will be required to submit a full EIQ to conform to a three or six year cycle, depending on the permit type of the source.

You should receive your one-page form for 2007 reporting in early January 2008. If you have any questions, please contact Terry Stock with the Air Pollution Control Program at 573-751-4817 or by e-mail at terry.stock@dnr.mo.gov.
