Beginning with the 2003 emission inventory, all stationary sources with actual emissions of one hundred (100) tons per year or more of SO2 in the year 2000, or in any subsequent year, shall submit an annual inventory of SO2 emissions. A source that meets these criteria, and then emits less than 100 tons per year in a later year shall submit a SO2 inventory for tracking compliance with the regional SO2 milestones until the western backstop sulfur dioxide trading program has been fully implemented and emission tracking has occurred under 20MONITORING, RECORD KEEPING AND REPORTING20.11.46.16 NMAC, monitoring, record keeping and reporting.

(3) include emissions from start up, shut down, and upset conditions in the annual total inventory;

(4) use 40 CFR Part 75 methodology for reporting emissions for all sources subject to the federal acid rain program;

(5) maintain all records used in the calculation of the emissions, including but not limited to the following: (a) amount of fuel consumed; (b) percent sulfur content of fuel and how the content was determined; (c) quantity of product produced; (d) emissions monitoring data; (e) operating data; and (f) how the emissions are calculated;

(6) maintain records of any physical changes to facility operations or equipment, or any other changes that may affect the emissions projections; and
