
The owner or operator of any facility that is a source of air
contaminants shall submit a complete emission inventory annually on
forms obtained from the Division. The TAD is the form used to report
the Emissions Inventory data to Oklahoma DEQ

DEQ Form #100-730 (TAD) contains the annual emissions inventory
for a particular facility, as well as other relevant information such as
the facility location and address, ownership details, operating hours
and process rates, etc.

Redbud is the preferred method to report emissions inventories and
provides a complete printed Turn Around Document for records

–this emission unit operated all or part of the
calendar year (Active at anytime during the year).
–this emission unit did not operate at
all during the calendar year, but may restart at sometime in
the future (no emissions during the calendar year).
–select this status if an emission unit
has been removed, removed from service, or is permanently
shutdown (no emissions during the calendar year).

Two Categories – Dependent
on Particle Size
PM-10 and PM-2.5
2012 Emissions Inventory Workshop
42
"PM-10" means all particulate matter
with an aerodynamic diameter of 10
micrometers or less (fine & coarse
particle fractions combined)
2012 Emissions Inventory Workshop
43
"PM-2.5" means particulate having an
aerodynamic diameter equal to or less
than 2.5 micrometers (i.e., the fine
particle fraction)

An emission factor is a representative value that attempts
to relate the quantity of a pollutant released to the
atmosphere with an activity associated with the release of
that pollutant.
Emissions = EF x Process Rate
These factors are usually expressed as the weight of
pollutant divided by a unit weight, volume, distance, or
duration of the activity emitting the pollutant.


Storage Tanks - use the Software TANKS
 Landfills - use LANDGEM, a gas emissions
model
 Tank Flashing - Vasquez-Beggs equation
 Glycol Dehydrator Reboiler - GRI-GLYCalc
These are models
with formulas using multiple variables.
There is no single emission factor.


Actual amount (%) of air emissions
prevented from being emitted by a
control approach
2012 Emissions Inventory Workshop
56

Capture efficiency:
The percentage of air emission that is
directed to the control equipment
If emissions escape prior to the
control device, these should be
accounted for in the total actual
emissions amount.

Allowed Emissions (tpy): The total amount of any
regulated air pollutant which is subject to an
emissions limiting standard, either by rule or permit
condition contained in an enforceable permit or
potential to emit, or for grandfathered sources,
emission limits based on maximum design capacity
and considering all applicable rules.

If a process emits pounds or more
of a regulated air pollutant (≥ 0.001 tons)
Please Report Them!!
Trace (<0.001 TPY): Use the Trace check box to
indicate annual emissions have been calculated but are
less than 0.001 Tons (2.0 lbs).

What should be reported?
All Actual Emissions
not
Permit limits
or
Potential to Emit Values
2012 Emissions Inventory Workshop
63
Yes, Report the following:

Emissions that are in excess of a
permit or other such limit should be
reported in the excess emission field

However, ALL actual emissions must
be reported in the total emissions field
