Obtaining an ERC
A separate application is required for each unit of equipment which may create emission reductions. A unit may consist of one individual piece of equipment or multiple pieces within a process. A filing fee is required when submitted an application to the District.

General Information
District Rule 3.5 (last revised November 13, 1996) covers the applicable requirements for ERCs. The standard baseline period for ERC applications is the two-year period immediately preceding the date of the application. If you feel that the last two years are not representative of normal source operations, submit documentation to justify what other two consecutive years of the last five years are representative of normal operations. Per District Rule 3.5, section 211, the District will then determine whether the two years immediately preceding the application date are unrepresentative of normal operations.
The following information is required with each application, if applicable:
- Documentation of quarterly (January, April, July, and October) raw material and/or finished product throughput. For example, production records, operating records, meter readings, invoices, and receipts.
- Documentation or records of quarterly fuel throughput. For example, provide copies of natural gas purchase records obtained from the utility provider.
- Documentation of actual emissions. For example, copies of emissions test data or source test reports.
- Any other relevant information required for emission reduction calculations and evaluations.
Applications must be submitted with the correct filing fees.
