According to 35 IL Administrative Code Part 254, IAPA members that are required to have a State of Illinois air pollution operating permit must file an Annual Emission Report (AER) by May 1 of each year. All asphalt plants should have an air permit and will need to comply with this requirement.
The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) will send the necessary forms directly to permittees around February 1 of each year. If you do not receive the forms, this does not relieve you of the obligation to file. Data on the Annual Emissions Report comes from IEPA Bureau of Air's emission inventory database (ICEMAN). ICEMAN is the Bureau’s enterprise data system which in addition to emission inventory data, also includes data on fee payments, permit tracking and inspections. Data specific to annual emission reporting comes from permit applications, previous annual emission reports, and source inspections. Therefore, each permit receives a unique AER form. Therefore, if you have not already received the AER from IEPA, please contact IEPA Bureau of Air immediately to request the appropriate form.
Once completed and signed AERs should be mailed to the Annual Emissions Report Mailing Address:

Bureau of Air
Air Quality Planning Section (#39)
