• Excess Emissions Reporting Form (or in Word)
  Emissions in excess of an applicable emission limitation set in the Arizona Administrative Code or in the conditions of a permit shall be considered a violation. The facility responsible for the emissions exceedence shall have an affirmative defense if the exceedence was the result of an emergency and reported within 24 hours of the discovery of the exceedence. Additionally, a follow-up report containing more detail must be postmarked within 72 hours. This information is entered into a database to determine trends in the causes of the emission exceedences and may assist facility operators by alerting about possible equipment problems at the facility.
  
  The excess emission reporting form is provided to assist sources that must report excess emissions to the Air Quality Compliance Section by ensuring complete and accurate information is provided to ADEQ. Please fax or mail the completed form to the attention of the Technical Services unit manager, Air Quality Compliance Section.
  
  
• Equipment Transfers Form
  ADEQ must be notified of all portable equipment transfers. Notification should be sent via certified mail at least 10 working days before the transfer actually occurs as per A.A.C. R18-2-324(D) using this form. The form can be submitted as notification of transfer, start-up or stop for portable sources and stationary sources. Please provide notification to the attention of the Field Services unit manager, Air Quality Compliance Section.
  
  
• Compliance Certifications Example
  Compliance Certification is a required reporting to be submitted either annually or semiannual. The report should indicate the compliance status of the source with respect to each permit condition and the method used for determining such compliance status. A determination whether the compliance was intermittent or continuous or any permit deviations during the reporting period are also required. Summary reports of all monitoring and record keeping should be attached.
  
  
• Certification of Truth, Accuracy, and Completeness
  This certification form must accompany all forms sent to the Air Quality Division's Compliance and Permitting Sections.
