i-STEPS
On Monday, June 9, 2008, the Maine Office of Information Technology shut down the state's FTP site to all anonymous users. This disruption prevents facilities from accessing their 2006 data files and the installation file for the Maine version of Satellite i-STEPS via the FTP link previously provided to you.
We have moved the 2006 data files and the Satellite i-STEPS program files to http://www.maine.gov/dep/air/emissions/2007.htm.
Whether your company has an air emission license which requires annual
reporting or you are required to report emissions because the annual
emissions at your facility exceed thresholds established in DEP
Rules, Chapter 137, "Emission Statements," obtaining air
emissions data in a timely and accurate manner is a high priority for
the Department.
i-STEPS,
developed by Pacific Environmental Services (now MACTEC), has been adopted
by the Department of Environmental Protection to assist with the electronic
submission of air emissions data from facilities, and in turn, the transmittal
of that data to U.S. EPA.
i-STEPS is a powerful automated tool
for storing, reporting, and managing air emissions data. Data
is managed at four levels in a structural hierarchy,
- Facility level,
- Group/Area level,
- Stack level, and
- Process Unit level.
The Data Import and Export features allow facilities to electronically
transmit emissions data to the Department, thus decreasing data entry
time and errors.
