| with the requirements under §327.3
of this title and in subsections (a) and (c) of this section. If
the initial notification is not submitted by using an online form
on the commission's secure Web server, the owner or operator must
submit the identical information on the commission's secure Web server
within 48 hours of discovery of the event. In the event the commission's
server is unavailable due to technical failures or scheduled maintenance,
events may be reported via facsimile to the appropriate regional
office. The commission will provide an alternative means of notification
in the event that the commission's electronic reporting system is
inoperative. Electronic notification and reporting is not required
for small businesses that meet the small business definition in Texas
Water Code, §5.135(g)(2) and to appropriate local air pollution
control agencies with jurisdiction. Small businesses shall provide
notifications and reporting by any viable means that meet the time
frames required by this section.
(h) Annual emissions event reporting: beginning in
calendar year 2007, on or before March 31 of each calendar year or
as directed by the executive director, each owner or operator of
a regulated entity, as defined in §101.1 of this title that
is subject to reporting under §101.10 of this title (relating
to Emissions Inventory Requirements), that experienced at least one
emissions event during the calendar year shall report to the executive
director, and all appropriate local air pollution control agencies
with jurisdiction, the following:
(1) the total number of reportable and the total number
of non-reportable emissions events experienced at the regulated entity;
(2) the estimated total quantities for all compounds
or mixtures of air contaminants, by compound or mixture, in the definition
of RQ in §101.1 of this title that, by facility, were emitted
during emissions events at the regulated entity. Compounds or mixtures
of air contaminants, that have an RQ greater than or equal to 100
pounds and the amount released is less than one pound in a 24-hour
period, are not required to be included in the report. Good engineering
practice and methods must be used to provide reasonably accurate
representations for emissions and opacity. This paragraph does not
apply to boilers and combustion turbines referenced in the definition
of RQ in §101.1 of this title that must report only the estimated
opacities during emissions events and duration of unauthorized opacity;
and
(3) owners and operators of regulated entities that
are subject to reporting under §101.10 of this title shall provide
the information required by this subsection as part of their reporting
under §101.10 of this title.
