Emissions Reporting
The Commonwealth of Kentucky requires emissions fees for stationary sources of regulated air pollutants each year. Fees are based on facilities' emissions surveys submitted and the acknowledgment checklist agreed to.
The emissions survey site was originally called the Web Survey, having been developed as one of the first online tools for emissions reporting. Throughout the website and instruction guides, you may see "Air Emissions Survey", “Web Survey”, “Emissions Survey” being used interchangeably. Just know they are one and the same.
