Air Quality Electronic Document Submittal Requirement Begins January 1

Rules requiring electronic submittal of air permit applications and air emission reporting documents became effective May 11, but electronic submittals will not be required until January 1, 2023. 

According to the DNR, over 80% of permits applications and emissions inventories are currently submitted electronically through EASY Air for air permit applications and the State and Local Emission Inventory System (SLEIS) for emissions inventories. Facilities that use these systems are taking advantage of easier, more efficient processes that come with electronic submittals, including the ability to submit information from any location at any time. Additional, electronic submittals speed DNR”s ability to issue permits and increase data accuracy, saving time and money for both businesses and DNR.

DNR’s eAirServices page contains resources and tools to help industry use EASY Air and SLEIS. If you need help with EASY Air, click here. If you need help with SLEIS, click here.
