Area Emissions Process Report
The Area By Emissions Process Report provides area emissions data at the process level of detail in a flat file CSV format. A user can filter by pollutant, geographic area, Facility Source Type, NAICS, regulations, sector or Source Classification Codes
The following report criteria are required when generating a Area By Emissions Process Report
