Please be advised that the ERIC system for reporting 2011 criteria and toxic air emissions data has been turned on for users! Some of the changes for RY2011, which were discussed at the training sessions include:
- Breaking the link between ERIC and TEMPO for most of the inventory data
- New Reconciliation report available for comparing ERIC data to TEMPO data
- Relaxing some of the validations for release points for more accurate data reporting
- Additional validations for permanently shutdown items, parishes and contacts
- New, more comprehensive User Manual coming shortly
- Promulgation of AQ300, which revises LAC 33:III.918, 919, and 5107, and it’s impact
- Public Reports Page will be turned on
Before logging in to the system, we strongly encourage you to check out the Resources section and carefully read the latest guidance document titled "Reporting Year 2011 System Update Guidance".

About the Emissions Inventory Program
The Emissions Inventory Unit of the Air Permits Division is responsible for developing comprehensive criteria and toxic pollutant emissions inventories for the State of Louisiana. The emissions data are used for a variety of planning, regulatory and reporting purposes. The staff works closely with the regulated community, trade groups, and other state and federal agencies to develop and maintain high quality and current emissions data.
Regulated point sources of criteria air pollutants must submit an inventory of annual criteria pollutant emissions pursuant to the requirements of LAC 33:III.919. Detailed annual emissions data are maintained on nearly 1200 point sources going back to 1984, with the number of point sources changing each year.
In 2007, historical emissions data was migrated into a new web-based reporting system called ERIC - Emissions Reporting & Inventory Center. ERIC's functionality will be expanded to include a query tool for use by the public.
