Certified Emission Reduction Credits in Pennsylvania's ERC Registry

   Emission reduction credits (ERCs) are surplus, permanent, quantified and Federally enforceable emission reductions used to offset emission increases of oxides of nitrogen (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the following criteria pollutants:  carbon monoxide (CO), lead (Pb), oxides of sulfur (SOx), particulate matter (PM), PM-10 and PM-10 precursors.

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) maintains an ERC registry in accordance with the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 127.209. The ERC registry system provides for the tracking of the creation, transfer and use of ERCs. Prior to registration of the credits, ERC Registry Applications are reviewed and approved by the Department to confirm that the ERCs meet the requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206--127.208. Registration of the credits in the ERC registry system constitutes certification that the ERCs satisfy applicable requirements and that the credits are available for use. The following registered, and certified ERCs in the ERC Registry are currently available for use as follows:

   (1)  To satisfy new source review (NSR) emission offset ratio requirements.

   (2)  To ''net-out'' of NSR at ERC-generating facilities.

   (3)  To sell or trade the ERCs for use as emission offsets at new or modified facilities.

   The certified ERCs shown as follows, expressed in tons per year (tpy), satisfy the applicable ERC requirements contained in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206--127.208. ERCs created from the curtailment or shutdown of a source or facility expire for use as offsets 10 years after the emission reduction occurs. ERCs generated by the overcontrol of emissions by an existing facility do not expire for use as offsets. However, credits in the registry which are not used in a plan approval will be discounted if new air quality requirements are adopted by the Department or United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

   For additional information concerning this listing of certified ERCs, contact Virendra Trivedi, Bureau of Air Quality, Division of Permits, Department of Environmental Protection, 12th Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P. O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8468, (717) 787-4325.
