ARB staff is holding a workshop to discuss revisions to California’s Regulation for the Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions.

These revisions are being considered to align California greenhouse gas reporting requirements with the federal greenhouse gas reporting requirements adopted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), and to support a proposed California greenhouse gas Cap-and-Trade Program. The revisions would apply to 2012 reporting.

EPA is considering adding H2S back into section 313 Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) regs.  This might mean WWTPs would have to report H2S and might then lead to EPA adding H2S back onto the CAA list of toxics. If it was added to list of toxics it could have big impacts since many WWTPs would be over the H2S emission limit that could trigger need for controls.
