Based on the other database improvements expected this year as a result of an internal Lean Event we held a couple weeks ago on our annual registration program, I believe we could have this function by the end of 2020.

Thanks.  When do you anticipate completion of the cross-check function of your database?

Hi Alison,

You asked for an update on the electronic database that the Vermont air division created and began using in 2017.  Implementation of the database was a success as it has merged permit information such as annual allowable emissions, annual registered emissions, and compliance information for air contaminant sources in one location.  The ability to cross-check allowable emissions with annual registered emissions automatically within the database is still in development.  

Please let me know if you need additional information.

Hi Bennet,
Can you confirm this?  Not to rush you, but this is the final detail we need to go forward with our proposal to approve your SIP.

Thanks.

Sorry for the garbled 2[nd] sentence.  It should have read:  We included the following statement in our notice for your 2012 PM2.5 I-SIP.

Hi Bennet,
I'm in the process of taking action on your 2015 ozone I-SIP & transport SIP.  We included that following statement in our notice for your 2012 PM2.5 I-SIP is true.  Could you give me an update on this e-database and confirm that it will be used to correlate emissions data with permit conditions, etc.?  

"VT DEC reports that it is in the process of setting up an integrated electronic database that will merge all air contaminant source information across permitting, compliance and registration programs, so that information concerning permit conditions, annual emissions data, and compliance data will be accessible in one location for a particular air contaminant source. The database will be capable of correlating certain emissions data with permit conditions and other applicable standards electronically, where feasible, to allow VT DEC to complete this correlation more efficiently and accurately."

Thanks,
Alison

Dear EPA colleagues,

Vermont submitted its infrastructure SIP for the 2015 ozone NAAQS through the SPeCS system this afternoon.  I have attached the same submittal to this email for your convenience.  I am broadcasting this message to several in your office with the knowledge that some of you may be out of the office today and in the interest to facilitate a quick turn around for completeness determination.

Please contact me if you have any questions.  Thank you for your attention.

Sincerely,

Bennet H. Leon
