Do facilities need to report only the point emissions or fugitive emissions as well?
Facilities meeting the reporting requirements need to report both point emissions and fugitive emissions under the regulation. Fugitive emissions are the total of all emissions to air that are not emitted through confined process streams. These emissions include: equipment leaks from valves, pump seals, flanges, compressors, sampling connections, open-ended lines, etc.; evaporative losses from surface impoundments and spills; emissions from building ventilation systems; and any other fugitive or non-point air emissions from land treatment, mine tailings, storage piles, road dust, etc. Point emissions are total air emissions from stack or point sources including stacks, vents, ducts, pipes or other confined process streams. Emissions to air from pollution-control equipment generally fall into this category.
