PROJECT ABSTRACT (PROVIDE A BRIEF DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE FOR THIS PROJECT)
The Federal Clean Air Act requires that owners or operators of permitted air facilities (minor
or major sources) provide the appropriate governing agency with a written report of all events
where an emission has occurred in excess of permitted amounts, usually within 24-48 hours of
the event. Information typically reported includes:
 The emissions point where the excess emission was released.
 The quantity and duration of the excess emission.
 The cause of the excess emission.
 Steps taken to limit the excess emission.
 Corrective measures taken to eliminate the excess emission.
The New Mexico Environment Department (NMED), Air Quality Bureau (AQB) wishes to
develop an information system capable of receiving excess emissions reports electronically
from the regulated community. This system will support both the activities of the regulated
community in submitting an excess emissions report, as well as the activities of AQB in
responding to the submission of a report.
This initial project will analyze and document the workflow, functional requirements, and data
requirements for an excess emissions reporting system. Subsequent projects will use this
information to design, build, and ultimately implement an excess emissions reporting system.
Workflow documentation, requirements specification and architectural documentation were
completed on 2/11/11. A pilot application with minimal functionality for proof of concept
was deployed to the NMED test runtime environment. The pilot application was presented to

a subset of the user community on 11/9/11. The next phase of the project will focus on
implementation and deployment of a defined set of functionality to the production
environment. The set of functionality will not be the complete set of functionality defined in
the requirements document, however, it will represent enough functionality to provide value to
the business owner and replace a significant part of the current manual process.

IT SYSTEM ANALYSIS (ON THIS DOCUMENT, OR AS AN ATTACHMENT, PROVIDE A SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION OF THE TECHNICAL ARCHITECTURE)
Taken from the operational requirements section of the requirements specification
document:
The system will be designed as a Web based application and is expected to interface with preexisting external systems for functionality like security and data retrieval.
The following figure illustrates the distributed physical layers of the overall solution. In this
architecture, the independent user interfaces, application services and data stores will reside on
distributed physical machines.

INTEROPERABILITY (DESCRIBE IF/HOW THIS PROJECT INTERFACES WITH EXISTING SYSTEMS/APPLICATIONS)
Two existing systems must interface with this application:
1 – a legacy environmental management system (TEMPO) currently in use by the business owner,
NMED Air Quality Bureau. Data will be queried from the existing system and new data will be
stored back into the legacy system. The new data will come from this new application which has a
web user interface as opposed to the legacy user interface which is a client server interface. All
existing business rules for the legacy system will be followed and are outlined in the requirements
specification document.
2 – NMED Secure Extranet Portal (SEP) which is the department user authentication service for
application registration and access. Users securely register for access to the portal which presents
a list of applications which must then be individually registered for and granted access to by the
application owner. The EER application will need to utilize this service for user registration,
approval and access. The SEP is currently in use for over 15 production web applications. The
requirements for an application to use this service are identified in the requirements specifications
document. The SEP has passed several security audit by conducted by an external entity
(CAaNES )
Additionally, the EER application will run in a shared production runtime platform which is
wholly open source and specified in the operation requirements section of the requirements
specification document. The pilot application was successfully deployed to a similar shared
runtime platform within the NMED test environment. The application connects to an Oracles
database schema within a shared enterprise Oracle database instance. This is a proprietary
database instance and the licensing and support is current and maintained out of the NMED IT
budget. The database specifications are included in the operational requirements section of the
requirements specifications document.
