Annual Air Emissions Inventory

DEP’s Chapter 137, “Emission Statements”:

Inventory is required of all licensed sources with the potential to emit certain air pollutants above a minimum reporting level.

If a source is required to report criteria air pollutants, they must also report certain greenhouse gases.

New for 2013 ReportingEmission Process Status (e.g. fuels):

If a particular process (e.g. wood) was not used in the reporting year you may simply set the operating status to “Not Operational”.  

Performance Feature: The new web platform and database version should 

improve performance (speed) of the system.  However, we are currently working on a new server set up and experiencing some intermittent issues that we hope will be resolved.

MAINE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION www.maine.gov/dep

Recent Enhancements

Performance Feature: Pages refresh faster 

when you select to view fewer Emissions Units in the side bar.

Facilities with more than 10 pieces of equipment will see an improvement.

MAINE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION www.maine.gov/dep

Recent Enhancements

Emission units officially removed from the license should not be displayed in MAIRIS:

Equipment officially removed from a license will be stop dated and will no longer appear on the emission units list.

Equipment will be updated by DEP staff either annually, or upon request.

MAINE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION www.maine.gov/dep
