- NOTICE TO SET ENIISSIONS TO ZERO -
Guidance for Setting Emissions to Zero
What does it mean to set your emissions to zero?
If a business is not operating equipment that is listed on an APEN or Air Permit, but they do not want to
cancel the permit for the equipment, then emissions can be reported at "zero". For example, a business
has not operated penmitted equipment for over two years could submit the "Notice to Set Emissions to
Zero" form requesting to set their emissions at zero until they anticipate a need to begin operating the
equipment again.
Why would a business want their emissions to be set at zero?
Businesses are charged annual fees for the pollutants that the business emits, based on what is reported on
the most recent Air Pollutant Emissions Notice (ADEN).
An APEN form is used to report information about a facility, the process, fuel information, and air
emissions. All sources required to file an APEN must pay annual fees based on their estimated actual
uncontrolled annual emissions of air pollutants (not the air permit limits). An annual fee of $22.90 per
ton of criteria pollutant (such as volatile organic compounds (VOC's)) emitted and $152.90 per ton of
non -criteria pollutant (hazardous air pollutants (HAPS)) emitted are assessed. The Division typically
mails invoices to businesses for these.fees between March through June of each year (fees due are for the
previous year's air emissions).
By filing this form, a business will not be charged the annual emissions fee for the time the emissions are
set at zero because they are not operating and not emitting air pollutants from that equipment. When the
company anticipates using the equipment again, a new/updated APEN is required to be filed with the
Division.
Note: Once the equipment is ready to be placed back into operation. an updated APt-N with
updated throughput levels must be submitted, vith a check for $152 90 filing fee. at least 30 days
prior to operation It would not benefit a company to fill out this form if the yearly emissions are less
expensive than the required $152.90 APEN filing fee
