Air Pollution Information
Emissions Reduction Market SystemWhat Is ERMS?The ERMS is a "cap and trade" market system in which participating sources must hold "trading units" for their actual VOM emissions. Each year, starting with the 2000 ozone season, participating sources will be issued trading units based on the initial allotment set during issuance of the sources' Clean Air Act Permit Program (CAAPP) permit. For more detailed information, see the ERMS Overview page. The 2009 ERMS Account Officer Training session has been scheduled for March 5, 2009. The 2008 ERMS Allotments are now available. The allocation was performed on March 19, 2008. Download the ERMS rule at the Illinois Pollution Control Board's website: Word version or PDF version. Having trouble accessing ERMS? ERMS access troubleshooting assistance is available. Please check the News & Items of Interest page for the latest updates and information on the ERMS program.
