hidden. Users can filter the contaminants list by making the selection from the Active–All
radio button on the List screen. Additional filters are provided to show contaminants.
5. From the Contaminant Maintenance main screen, two columns are provided with which
users can identify whether or not a contaminant is a SARA (also called Toxic Release
Inventory) compound and/or a Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP). These characteristics of
contaminants are used in certain EI reports, but they are not directly used in the electronic
report. During the import of each user's emissions from the agency data download,
default SARA and HAP settings are used, as established in the agency's contaminant
code file. However, these default settings will need to be reviewed and modified as
necessary to reflect conditions in the user's plant. For example, the same contaminant
may be a SARA chemical in one plant and not in another, due to formulations that
reference broad SARA chemical descriptions, (e.g., glycol ethers), threshold limits, or
other reasons.
