The ControlApproach component is the parent component of the Control group. It consists of the approach's overall characteristics including capture efficiency, effectiveness (i.e., percent of time operating as designed), and penetration (collective impact of all regulations).
If a control approach is being used for a given location, it must be reported. Therefore, for each combination of location, SCC, and reporting period, you should submit zero or one ControlApproach record.
Complex data type which identifies the overall control system or approach, including capture effectiveness, where applied at an emissions unit activity or process to reduce the amount of pollutants released into the environment.
