Required Reporting

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Air P​ermit Required Reporting

The Kentucky Division for Air Quality (DAQ) requires air permit holders to periodically submit both an Annual Compliance Certification (ACC) and a Semi-Annual Monitoring Report (SAMR). This webpage provides information that applies to both the ACC and SAMR.

​Late or missing ACCs or SAMRs may result in a Notice of Violation (NOV) and other enforcement actions.

The table below summarizes the difference between the two reports.​

​How Do I...​

​​Submit the ACC and SAMR?

Online submittal through eEEC 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)​.

For help with EEC eForms:

Reports may still be mailed to the regional office listed on the first page of your permit. However, the term “postmarked" is no longer applicable to air permit reporting. Mailed reports must be received by the regional office by the reporting deadline to avoid being considered late. Reports postmarked on January 30ᵗʰ (or June 30th for SAMR) will be regarded as late unless they are also received by the office on those dates.

Note: Documents submitted to EEC eForms are not sent to the EPA. If your facility is required to report directly to the EPA, use their online submittal tool, CEDRI, or mail a hard copy to: United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4 Air Enforcement Branch, Atlanta Federal Center, 61 Forsyth Street, SW Atlanta, GA 30303-8960.​

Obtain Past Submittals?

To request copies of previous ACC or SAMR reports: Contact your DAQ Regional Office to request courtesy copies or submit an Open Records Request to eec.kora@k​y.gov. Include your facility name, permit number, and reporting year(s).​

​​Change the Air Permit Contact for the Facility?

If the air permit contact person for your facility has changed, please email Samantha.Hoffm​an@ky.gov​​ to update this information. 

An air permit contact cannot be a third-party consultant.​​​  Updating the contact information on the DEP 7007CC form does not update the contact information in our database. The Division of Water and Waste Management must be contacted separately to update contacts in their systems.

Remove Emission Points or Rescind Air Permit?

Facilities that remove one or more emission point(s) -- or all permitted equipment -- must continue submitting required reports as long as a DAQ permit remains active. If your facility plans to permanently discontinue these operations, it may be beneficial to update your permit rather than wait until the next renewal period to notify the DAQ. For guidance on how to update your permit, contact ECAP at envh​​elp@ky.gov.

Get More Help?​

For specific questions about reporting, contact your DAQ Regional Office listed on the front page of your permit. Regional office information is also available on the Kentucky Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) "Regional Offices" webpage.

ECAP also hosts an in-person training on air permit required reporting annually, as well as an introductory workshop on air quality permitting in Kentucky. For information about upcoming trainings, view ECAP's homepage, or subscribe to Simplifying Compliance to get notified about upcoming events.​​
