NMED News:
The New Mexico Environment Department (NMED), and pursuant to 20.2.73.300 NMAC – Emission Inventory Requirements, NMED requires that facilities submit an Air Emissions Inventory for calendar year 2023.
The emission inventory period began Jan. 1, 2023 through Dec. 31, and emissions reporting is due Jan. 1 through April 1, 2024.
This includes facilities that have a Title V air quality permit (including all landfills and air curtain incinerators), New Source Review (NSR) permit, all General Construction Permits (GCP) or Notice of Intent (NOI).
In accordance with 20.2.73.300 NMAC, owners or operators must include actual annual (permitted values are not accepted) emissions from all routine operations, fugitive emissions, excess emissions, and emissions from malfunctions, startup, shutdown and maintenance events.
Greenhouse Gases:
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from all facilities are required for the 2023 Emissions Inventory. The GHG emissions must be submitted through the GHG branch of the Air Emissions Inventory Reporting (AEIR). All facilities that are required to report criteria pollutants must submit greenhouse gases emissions if emissions are greater than 1 metric ton per year carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e).
Record keeping:
Each facility must maintain the records necessary to calculate actual annual emissions for equipment at the facility. These records include the facility production rate, materials processed, materials consumed (such as fuel type), and hours of operation.
It is recommended that you log into the online application, AEIR, and review your facility information. If there are any errors, please contact the Emissions Inventory Section at NMED for assistance.
