The Emissions component is used to report emissions values for a process, reporting period, and pollutant.
Calculation methods. EPA is requiring the reporting of the emissions calculation method and has defined the list of acceptable emissions calculation method codes. To request that a code be added to the list, submit a support request through the EIS Gateway.
Units of measure for emissions. You are required to identify the unit of measure for reporting all emissions to the EIS. The EIS will accept emissions reported in other recognizable units of measure, but will convert them to the preferred unit of measure for storage in EIS.
Correcting or deleting a single pollutant. As described earlier, there is no batch method to resubmit, correct, or delete emissions associated with a single pollutant except by resubmitting the complete Point Submittal Data Block. An individual pollutant record can, however, be modified through the EIS Gateway
Code identifying the pollutant for which emissions are reported.
