Annual Compliance Certifications
Annual Compliance Certifications (ACCs) demonstrate compliance for permitted facilities in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. These reports:
- Are required by all Kentucky air permits
- Must list all permitted emission units
- Must list all applicable requirements for each unit
- Must certify compliance status for each emission unit and permit condition
Submit completed Annual Compliance Certification form DEP 7007CC via eForms, or to your regional office. As long as the facility has an active air permit, Annual Compliance Certifications must be submitted even if the actual equipment permitted was not in the state during the reporting period.
For information on how to fill out the Annual Compliance Certification form, please refer to DEP 7007CC Instructions.
For detailed, step-by-step instructions on completing and submitting the Annual Compliance Certification, please visit the Environmental Compliance Assistance Program's ACC Guide web page.
Major sources are reminded that Annual Compliance Certification must also be mailed to the Federal EPA in Atlanta, Air Enforcement Branch, Atlanta Federal Center, 61 Forsyth St., Atlanta, GA 30303-8960.
Semi-annual Monitoring Reports
All Division for Air Quality (DAQ) permits contain a requirement that summary reports of all monitoring be submitted to the regional office listed on the front of the permit. These reports are to be submitted by July 30th and January 30th of each year, for the life of the permit. As long as the facility has an active air permit, Semi Annual Monitoring Reports must be submitted even if the actual equipment permitted was not in the state during the reporting period.
Each monitoring requirement is found under the Specific Monitoring Requirements section of the DAQ permit under each emission unit. The Specific Monitoring Requirements section of the permit may also refer you to the Specific Recordkeeping Requirements or Specific Reporting Requirements sections of the permit for additional monitoring requirements.
There is no official form or format to report this information. Report formats will vary from facility to facility due to differences in permit conditions, but the Semi Annual Report must contain all applicable monitoring information. Summary tables may also be appropriate. A facility may always check with their inspector, regarding format, prior to submittal.
For detailed, step-by-step instructions on completing and submitting the Semi-Annual Monitoring Report, please visit the Environmental Compliance Assistance Program's Semi-Annual Monitoring Reports Guide web page, or refer to the Frequently Asked Questions about Semi-Annual Monitoring Reports.
Online Submittal Using eForms
Online submittal through EEC eForms (Form ID 34: DAQ Field Operations Branch Electronic Submittal) is preferred and recommended to avoid late reporting for both the ACC and SAMR. Submissions should be signed by the Responsible Official, as defined under 401 KAR 52:001(62).
