Begin Reporting Now.

In order for Clean Air Counts success to be measured and to help the state meet the federal ozone standard, annual calendar year reporting and quantification is necessary. CAC Adopters are asked to complete a reporting form for each strategy they implement. The reporting forms are designed to be simple and easy to use.

Illinois EPA will use the information from the reporting forms to calculate the reduction in VOC and NOx emissions resulting in actions taken by CAC adopters. The quantification of the emissions reductions will help the state plan its air quality activities. It will also allow the state to credit the Campaigns’ activities in the ozone State Implementation Plan. Therefore, the reporting aspect of the campaign is pivotal in helping the state demonstrate the various ways the region will attain the Clean Air Act standards for ozone.

The Clean Air Act requires state to provide documentation for emission reduction activities up to three years after implementation of the strategy. Thus, we request that you keep records, receipts, and invoices for three years. If you need assistance completing the reporting form, please contact CAC.
