Are you ready for the monitoring requirements in the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR)?  The deadlines are coming fast – January 1, 2008 for year-round reporters and May 1, 2008 for ozone-season reporters.  Most are required to begin reporting on January 1, 2008.

ACCI can assist you in preparing or updating Monitoring Plans, certification testing and preparing the appropriate test notices to meet Part 75 requirements.   Monitoring Plans are required at least 45 days before certification testing begins – which could mean as early as September 2007.

Our experienced staff has prepared Monitoring Plans for various clients – both industrial sources and power producers.  We have assisted clients in all aspects of Part 75 monitoring, including Appendix D heat input monitoring methods and Appendix E LME applications.  We have also successfully petitioned the EPA regarding several Part 75 monitoring issues on behalf of our clients.

We are a full service testing firm and have completed numerous CEMS certifications, including RATA testing, linearity, cycle time, 7-day calibration error and DAHS verifications.  Sources with CEMS not certified by January 1, 2008 will have to substitute conservatively high emissions and heat input data – which consumes allowances at a much faster rate.  We can help get those monitors certified!!!

Our staff has prepared quarterly Electronic Data Reports (EDR’s) and have assisted clients with their quarterly report preparation.  We are very familiar with EPA’s current Monitor Data Checking (MDC) software and are tracking the progress of the software conversion process from text to XML file formats.  We have assisted clients in the reconciliation of allowances and allowance tracking.

If you need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact Jill Merrill at jmerrill@air-comp.com or Nancy Hirko at nhirko@air-comp.com.
