Instructions for submitting a monitoring plan

 In order to have your monitoring plan assessed you must pay an administration fee.
 
To submit an annual emissions monitoring plan:


An operator whose annual emissions are estimated to be less than 10,000 tonnes shall pay a fee of €200.
All other operators shall pay a fee of €500.

Your annual emissions should be estimated for 2010 in order to decide which fee is applicable. EPA will use historical data from Eurocontrol to check if your estimate is reasonable.


Note:  Monitoring plans for annual emissions will not be approved unless the correct administration fee has been received.
 


1. Download the required monitoring plan template (annual emissions) from our website, save it to your hard drive or server and complete it with the help of the guidance document and exemplars given on this website.
2. The appropriate fee should be paid into the EPA bank account as notified to your contact point by email. If you have not received details of the payment method and our bank account please contact us at avets@epa.ie
3. When you have completed your monitoring plan please save it as described in the yellow box on the “Guidelines and Conditions” Worksheet of the plan.
4. Submit a completed monitoring plan by emailing your MS Excel file to avets@epa.ie by 31 August 2009.
5. The email should include evidence of payment of the administration fee.
6. Sign and stamp a hard copy of the plan and send this by post to:
