Each environmental regulatory compliance area requires extensive record keeping and reporting of information. Incomplete or untimely reporting and record keepign can result in significant adverse actions by regulatory agencies. Additionally, good data record keepign allows management to have better internal nowledge of plant operations with respect to environmental concerns. While all environmental regulations are becoming increasingly complex, recent and upcoming activities by regulatory agencies in the air pollution area will greatly add to the data collection, management, interpretation, and reporting of air pollution related activities.
