Air Quality Permit holders in Virginia, take note: the deadline for filing your 2020 Annual Update Reports and Emissions Statements is around the corner.  Wetland Studies and Solutions, Inc.

Who Reports, and What Do They Report?

In Virginia, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) require facilities that have Air Permits to submit an emissions statement each year.  This applies to both Title V permittees (large facilities, including industrial plants and coal-burning power plants) and Minor Source permittees.

Minor Source Air Permits are required for:

  • Facilities emitting more than 100 tons of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in a year and located in areas that have not been designated as Air Emission Control Areas
  • Facilities that are located in designated Emission Control Areas (see map below) and:
    • emitting 25 tons or more of VOC in a year; or,
    • emitting 25 tons or more of nitrogen oxide (NOx) per year.

The Minor Source Air Permit-holder’s emissions statement must provide VOC and NOx emissions data for both:

  • the calendar year; and,
  • a typical day during the peak ozone season (June through August).

Permit holders of these facilities have been sent letters from DEQ requesting their Annual Update Report and an Emissions Statement for calendar year 2020.
