The reporting function has been
converted to a web-based application that is accessed on-line.
Key features include the following:
- Report preparers will be able to start and stop the data entry process with the on-line
system since the data are saved in a temporary on-line repository until the
report is submitted by the facility, at which point the data are uploaded
directly into AQMD's central database.
- After the first year, users can
import the previous years data to start the emission reporting process.
- The on-line software will identify
applicable reporting forms for each facility (and this selection can be
overridden by the user as needed).
- Report preparers can also override
default emission factors and use alternatives, as long as the alternative
emission factors can be documented and best represent emissions from the
specific equipment.
- All emission and fee calculations
and the transfer of data to summary forms is automatic.
As an enhancement, facilities will
have the option of reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as required by
California state law (AB-32), through the on-line AER system.
Much
of the same process information used to calculate criteria pollutant
emissions can also be used to calculate a portion of a facilities GHG emissions
and the AER system provides additional data entry forms for reporting the
remainder (such as, from mobile and indirect sources).

files and instructions.
