# §98.296. Data reporting requirements.


In addition to the information required by [§ 98.3(c)](/cfr/40/98.3.md?p=c), each annual report must contain the information specified in paragraphs [(a)](#a) or [(b)](#b) of this section, as appropriate for each soda ash manufacturing facility.

- (a) If a CEMS is used to measure CO2 emissions, then you must report under this subpart the relevant information required under [§ 98.36](/cfr/40/98.36.md) and the following information in this [paragraph (a)](#a):
  - (1) **Annual consumption of trona or liquid alkaline feedstock for each manufacturing line (tons).**
  - (2) **Annual production of soda ash for each manufacturing line (tons).**
  - (3) **Annual production capacity of soda ash for each manufacturing line (tons).**
  - (4) **Identification number of each manufacturing line.**
- (b) If a CEMS is not used to measure CO2 emissions, then you must report the information listed in this [paragraph (b)](#b):
  - (1) **Identification number of each manufacturing line.**
  - (2) **Annual process CO<I>2</I> emissions from each soda ash manufacturing line (metric tons).**
  - (3) **Annual production of soda ash for each manufacturing line (tons).**
  - (4) **Annual production capacity of soda ash for each manufacturing line (tons).**
  - (5) -(7) [Reserved]
  - (8) Whether CO2 emissions for each manufacturing line were calculated using a trona input method as described in Equation CC-1 of this subpart, a soda ash output method as described in Equation CC-2 of this subpart, or a site-specific emission factor method as described in Equations CC-3 through CC-5 of this subpart.
  - (9) **Number of manufacturing lines located used to produce soda ash.**
  - (10) If you produce soda ash using the liquid alkaline feedstock process and use the site-specific emission factor method ([§ 98.293(b)(3)](/cfr/40/98.293.md?p=b-3)) to estimate emissions then you must report the following relevant information for each manufacturing line or stack:
    - (i) **Stack gas volumetric flow rate during performance test (dscfm).**
    - (ii) **Hourly CO<I>2</I> concentration during performance test (percent CO<I>2</I>).**
    - (iii) CO2 emission factor (metric tons CO2/metric tons of process vent flow from mine water stripper/evaporator).
    - (iv) **CO<I>2</I> mass emission rate during performance test (metric tons/hour).**
    - (v) **Average process vent flow from mine water stripper/evaporator during performance test (pounds/hour).**
    - (vi) **Annual process vent flow rate from mine water stripper/evaporator (thousand pounds/hour).**
  - (11) Number of times missing data procedures were used and for which parameter as specified in this [paragraph (b)(11)](#b-11):
    - (i) **Trona or soda ash (number of months).**
    - (ii) **Inorganic carbon contents of trona or soda ash (weeks).**
    - (iii) **Process vent flow rate from mine water stripper/evaporator (number of months).**
