2. Import Emissions is used to copy emission values from an external file that has been
formatted in accordance with PDC Corp's instructions. If there are emissions in the
database for the "target" year they will be overwritten by the new data, even if the
specific Sources and Points are not included in the external file. A separate procedures
document is available from PDC Corp for companies interested in using this feature.
3. Export Emissions for Current Account and Year is used to copy emission values to an
external file. They can saved in Excel format for further calculations.
4. Hourly Emissions is used to produce a special agency inventory. It calculates average
emissions for every hour of a defined period and source list by dividing the annual
emissions by the hours of operation and converting to lbs per hour. On the Generate
Hourly Emissions tab click Add New Path to enter FIN-EPN-Contaminant combinations
to report. Then click Generate Hourly for Selected Path or Generate Hourly for All
Paths. On the Edit Hourly Emissions tab, edit the generated default average emissions
for each hour or in blocks. On the Prepare Submittal File tab select the date range and
click Retrieve, then Generate Export File. This file can be emailed to the agency or
uploaded on the agency website.
6.4 Materials Maintenance
There are three functions shown under the Materials Maintenance menu. They are
described below:
1. Materials Report provides a listing of materials and activities, by Source. It will show
materials and activities for the selected Account, for all years, in order of the associated
Source ID.
2. Orphan Materials is used to view materials that may have become "orphaned" by a
deletion of the associated Source ID. If the report is blank and there are materials for the
selected Account, then all materials in the database for the selected Account have a valid

enable permanent removal of all "orphaned" materials.
3. Delete ALL Materials is used to permanently remove all materials information from the
database for the selected Account.

1. Default Values allows setting of default emission Determination Method and stack
Moisture Percent. Enter the setting and click Apply.
2. Emission Fees Calculations enables detailed calculations and reporting of calculated
emission fees, by Source and Point, and by Contaminant. It also provides the capability to
determine fee amounts for Regulated Pollutants that do not belong to criteria pollutant
categories, and it saves the set-up for future years. It provides "high level" emission
reports, by criteria pollutant category and Source, or by criteria pollutant category and
Point. The detailed emission fee backup report for emission fees is especially useful to
justify and explain fees, and the summary report is acceptable in Texas in lieu of the
agency's emission summary report. This program will only run properly if sufficient "file
