Emissions Statement
The Emissions Statement (ES) is required by Clean Air Act section 182(a)(3)(B) and OAC 3745-24. The ES applies to any facility located in a county that is out of attainment for the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone and emits greater than or equal to 25 tons per year of volatile organic compounds (VOC) or nitrogen oxides (NOx) during the reporting year. In general, facilities subject to this requirement must submit actual emissions data for NOx and VOC.
Note: The requirement to file an Emissions Statement is based on actual emissions of VOC or NOx each reporting year. Thus, owners or operators of NOx or VOC sources must assess actual emissions of the facility each year to determine whether the reporting requirements apply. For example, in 2008 a facility may have emitted 28 TPY of VOC or NOx and is required to submit an Emissions Statement. However, if the facility emits less than 25 TPY for either VOC or NOx in 2009, an Emissions Statement would not be required for that year.

How do I submit an Emissions Statement?
This requirement applies to facilities subject to annual emissions reporting. The form and manner in which the Emissions Statement should be submitted depends on how the Fee Emissions Report (FER) is submitted for the facility.
