The Department of Environmental Protection published notice in the June 17 PA Bulletin notifying all owners and operators of air contamination sources subject to the state’s air emission inventory that the agency will only accept inventory submissions in an electronic format starting in 2018.

This format change eliminates the need for paper forms and makes the review process more efficient. This change also helps the Department to advance its mission of environmental stewardship and further its continuing efforts to make State government more cost-effective.

Case-by-case exceptions will be allowed if an owner or operator can demonstrate to the regional office where the source is located that submitting emission inventories in an electronic format will put an undue burden on that owner or operator.

Questions regarding this notice can be directed to John Krueger, Assistant Director, Bureau of Air Quality, by sending email to: jkrueger@pa.gov or call 717-783-9264.
