LME EDR

The EPA Clean Air Markets Division (CAMD) has announced a permanent delay in the ECMPS re-engineering project. While they haven’t set a definite start date for the transition to the new web-based ECMPS 2.0 interface with JSON formatted reports, we anticipate it won’t commence until at least the first quarter of 2025. Additionally, the EPA has reiterated that there are no plans to integrate the capability to generate low mass emissions (LME) EDRs into the ECMPS 2.0 client tool. Facilities responsible for reporting LME EDRs are advised to seek alternative solutions and establish a transition plan beforehand.

VIM continues to evolve and provide a solution for generating both XML and JSON formatted EDRs through our web-based LME EDR Utility. Users can use this platform to create XML EDRs for import into the current standalone ECMPS Client tool while exploring the JSON EDR capability for ECMPS 2.0 beta testing. We are committed to staying abreast of all re-engineering work and will provide updates to the LME utility when schemas or API interfaces get changed.

We hope that EPA will clarify the overall progress of the re-engineering project at the upcoming EPRI CEM User Group conference in Scottsdale, AZ, from May 21 – 23, 2024. VIM Technologies Inc. will be on hand and will provide an update on the status of the re-engineering project at the meeting’s conclusion.

If you’re interested in hearing more about the LME utility or have questions about the re-engineering project in general, please get in touch with Rudi Muenster at rudi.muenster@vimtechnologies.com.
