MULTI-SECTOR AIR POLLUTANTS REGULATION (MSAPR)

​

Air Research Group can assist you with meeting your MSAPR requirements. Under the Environmental Protection Act 1999, the Multi-Sector Air Pollutants Regulations (MSAPR), were developed to reduce industrial emissions across Canada. MSAPR was developed as part of the Base-level Industrial Emission Requirements (BLIERs). MSAPR came into force in June of 2016. It is expected to see a 99 kt reduction from boilers and heaters by 2035. 1932 kt reduction from Spark ignition engines and 5.5 kt from the cement industry. MSAPR is going to see these reductions by the gradual phasing out of less efficient equipment.

 

MSAPR is broken down into 4 parts. Part 1 addresses boilers and heaters via classifying them and setting out emission targets. Part 2 sets out the emission targets for spark ignition engines. Part 3 is focused on Cement plants and Part 4 outlines the general requirements for the testing of NOx and SOx emissions. 

 

ARG can assist you in managing your MSAPR emissions measurement and data collection needs.

NATIONAL POLLUTION RELEASE INVENTORY (NPRI)

​

Air Research Group provides NPRI assessments and reporting services. Under the authority of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) owners and operators of facilities that meet criteria reporting requirements are required to report annuals releases of over 300 substances to the environment.  Once reporting thresholds are met, a facility must report all releases, disposals or transfers off-site. Below are the different reporting programs:

  • Part 1A Core substances that are 1% by weight in a quantity of 10 tonnes or more,

  • Part 1B Alternative Thresholds deal mainly with substances like heavy metals

  • Part 2 PAH releases in quantities of 50 kilograms or more, such as pyrene and anthracene

  • Part 3 Dioxins, furans and hexachlorobenzene from chlorinated solvent production, metal smelting, pulp & paper, cement manufacturing or incineration of hazardous substances

  • Part 4  Criteria air contaminates, from combustion of fuels

  • Part 5 Speciated VOCs

 

While there are specific criteria that trigger facility reporting, not being aware of man hours worked, pollution generating activities, and substances used at your facility is no excuse for non-reporting. ARG can help your facility with reporting requirements, calculating releases and timely reporting.
