- Do not use your last Emission Inventory Instruction Book. It is out-of-date. The current Emission Inventory Instruction Booklet is available here.
- Many Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP’s) are also Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s). List such pollutants as both a HAP and a VOC on Forms INV-3 and INV-4. A list of HAP's and whether or not they are also considered VOC's is available here.
- Only one Form INV-1 is required for a facility’s MSEI submittal.
- Remember to submit Forms INV-2 for all points, and submit Forms INV-3 and INV-4 for all processes.
- Do not use a generic calculation page. When reviewing a submitted MSEI, the DNR needs to be able to reproduce all of your calculations.
- If higher control efficiencies are reported than what is given in the Control Efficiency Guidance Document (Appendix C, Minor Source Emission Inventory Instruction Booklet), these control efficiencies must be verified by test data from an EPA approved method.
- Do not use outdated or old emission factors. The most up-to-date emission factors must be used for accurate emissions calculations. If you are copying Forms INV-3 and INV-4 from a previous inventory, double-check all emission factors as they may have changed during the past three years.
- Remember to add PM2.5 and Ammonia emissions to each INV-3 and INV-4. They will not copy from a previous inventory.
- Use correct units for emission factors and design rates. Units need to correspond between emission factors and the emission unit design rate.
- Remember to fill out the operating schedule on Form INV-4.
- Remember to fill out all construction dates.
- Construction permit limits, if applicable, should be used to calculate potential to emit.
- Do not report total particulate matter - report only PM10 (particulate matter 10 microns or less in diameter) and PM2.5 (particulate matter 2.5 microns or less in diameter).
