SPECIAL NOTICES
Revision to the Registered ERCs in the Commonwealth's ERC Registry The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has approved the following Emission reduction credits (ERCs) and entered into ERC registry system. ERCs are surplus, permanent, quantified and Federally enforceable emission reductions used to offset emission increases of criteria pollutants. The Department maintains an ERC registry in accordance with the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 127.209. 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.
The certified ERCs shown as follows, 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 expires for use as offsets 10 years after the emission reduction occurs. ERCs generated by the over control of emissions by an existing facility do not expire for use as offsets. However, credits in the registry that 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.
For additional information concerning this listing of certified ERCs, contact the 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.
