How should VOC emissions be reported?
For reporting of VOC emissions under O.Reg.127/01, MOEE only expects one VOC emission value to be reported should the reporting threshold be exceeded. VOC is listed as a contaminant in Table 2A. The methods that can be used to estimate contaminant emissions are outlined in Sections 3 and 4 of the Step by Step Guideline for Emission Calculation, Record Keeping and Reporting for Airborne Contaminant Discharge. VOC emissions can be estimated using a VOC emission factor which will provide a single VOC emission value. However, if a facility has VOC emissions broken down into types or operational information that will allow it to estimate emissions of VOC types, the facility can total these emissions of VOC types into a single VOC emission value.
