What is an Annual Throughput Report, and Why must I complete one each year?
Each permit holder must submit a Throughput & Production Report for each permit by March 31st with the actual usage/throughput of the prior year (per condition #5 of the Permit to Operate). The form must be completed each year whether the permitted equipment was used or not. This information is necessary to track emissions within the District.
INSTRUCTIONS:
IMPORTANT: Do not leave any boxes blank. If a value is zero, enter “0”. Any throughputs received with blanks are considered to be incomplete and will be sent back to the permit holder to be completed and resubmitted. The March 31 deadline still applies to incomplete throughputs that were returned to the permit holder.
The following information must be provided on the form(s) and submitted by March 31:
Quarterly Usage: If the permit has quarterly limits, the actual quarterly usage must be separated by quarter and reported foreach permit under the categories listed below. Please include the total annual usage.
Units: The values must be reported in the same units in which the permit was issued* (i.e. If the permit was issued in cubic feet, you can NOT report in units of therms. If you complete the form in different units, the report will be returned to you as “incomplete.
*If you would like to change the units for future reporting, a Permit Modification Application will be required to be completed for each permit. Contact the Engineering department to find out what that process entails; (530) 757-3650.
