Reporting Services
Staying current on regulations, requirements, and reporting methods is time-consuming. Between facility demands and lack of resources, it can be challenging to execute all the reports required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as well as state and local agencies. Our Reporting analysts are standing by to help. They will correctly record facility data and ensure your reports meet ever-changing requirements and are ready for final submission.
Electronic Data Reports (EDR)
Our Reporting experts remotely access your data, generate an EDR, clean data, troubleshoot errors, and prepare files for submission to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the Emissions Control Monitoring Plan System (ECMPS). They alert you in advance to issues that require additional attention, such as the exceedance of a maximum load or Maximum Potential Concentration (MPC).
Reporting services team members enter all applicable quarterly and annual Quality Assurance (QA) and Quarterly Certification (QC) Test data in StackVision for Part 75 reporting requirements. They carefully check the validity of Part 75 test information in ECMPS via a QA Certification EDR.
QA Certification Test Data Entry Includes:
| Relative Accuracy Test Audit (RATA) | Air Emissions Testing Body (AETB) |
| Protocol Gas Verification Program (PGVP) | Linearity |
| Flow-to-Load | Fuel Flowmeter Accuracy |
| Fuel Flow-to-Load | Orifice Plate Inspections |
| Transmitter / Transducer Tests | Appendix E NOx Correlation Tests |
| Cycle Time Tests | Offline Calibration Demonstration |
| QA Certification Events | Extension / Exemption data |
| Annual Span and Range Check (per 40 CFR 75 Appendix A) | CO2 Control Chart |
Permit Compliance Reports
The Reporting team remotely accesses your system, reviews data for exceedances and downtime, troubleshoot errors, and generates quarterly reports required for permit compliance that are available in StackVision.
If you are subject to PADEP Revision 8, ESC Spectrum can prepare and verify your Rev. 8 Emissions EDRs in PADEP CEMDPS.
StackVision Reports Include:
| Exceedance Events | Exceedance Events Duration |
