STAC is a program designed to assess the compliance of Ontario industry with the Point of Impingement (POI) standards under Regulation 346. The emission data needs for STAC, consequently, are for much shorter time periods (e.g., ½ hour peak emission rates) than required in the new air monitoring and reporting regulation (O.Reg.127/01) and relate to maximum emission rates rather than actual emissions. O.Reg.127/01 requires the reporting of total annual and smog season emissions. Information obtained through the STAC program will be used by the ministry to assist in verifying the reported data for this regulation.
