What information is needed to generate a permit in TEMPO?
o Stack and Operating Parameterso Emission Rateso Location Data (Latitude and
Longitude)o Regulatory applicability information
for requirement developmento Note: this is done for all facilities –
major and minor

Electronic Air Permitting Data
o Allows LDEQ to relay information internally in a more efficient manner
o Aids LDEQ’s analysis of Air Quality Permitted Emission Data (TEMPO) Incidents (TEMPO)
• Unauthorized releases• Complaints
Actual Emission Data (Emission Inventory)
Monitoring Site Data Geographical Data (GIS)

How do we get all of the permitting data into TEMPO?
o Consulted internal and external stakeholders
o Issues raised Speed Accuracy User-friendliness Cost
o Permitting process was recommended mode of entry

Air Permit Data Upload (APDU)
High Level ConceptWeb-based application that allows permittees to electronically submit air permitting data and permit writers to review and download it into TEMPO
DataStack Parameters, emission rates, location information from Individual EIQ sheets for all emission sources and emission points that LDEQ regulates

Additional detailso A paper version of the application
is still requiredo An extract of what is currently
stored in TEMPO for your facility can be provided in an Excel spreadsheet by DEQ personnel
o Future permit modifications have an even shorter timeline

APDU Statuso Over 80 accounts have been set
upo Data for almost 4000 subject
items has been submittedo Reduces permitting timeline by
two weekso Training session may be offered
in November given response

Future APDU modifications (Phase II)
o Some ideas include Change file format to tab-delimited Allow industry to query their
facility’s data from TEMPO Comparison report when updating
datao Email us if you have suggestions
or would like to participate in the next design phase
