Subpart S Calcined-lime Byproduct or Waste Information
Note: The Cal e-GGRT help system includes general instruction on using the California GHG reporting tool. However, the help system may not explain differences between California and U.S. EPA reporting requirements. Please refer to the ARB reporting website for California-specific reporting requirements and additional help.


This page provides step-by-step instructions on how to enter and edit Subpart S Lime Manufacturing calcined-lime byproduct or waste information.

Step 1: Add a lime byproduct or waste

To add a calcined-lime byproduct or waste, find the CALCINED-LIME BYPRODUCT OR WASTE table on the Subpart Overview page and click the link titled "ADD a Calcined-lime Byproduct or Waste."

To edit a byproduct or waste, click the edit icon or the Name/ID link located in the first column of the table.

To delete a byproduct or waste, click the delete icon located in the last column of the table.

Step 2: Define the calcined-lime byproduct or waste

For each calcined-lime byproduct or waste generated by your facility, Subpart S requires you to provide:

  • A unique name for the product
  • An indication of whether the calcined-lime byproduct or waste was sold during the reporting year

When finished defining the calcined-lime byproduct or waste, click SAVE.

Step 3: Enter required calcined-lime byproduct/waste information

For each calcined-lime byproduct or waste generated by your facility that is sold, Subpart S requires you to report the following:

  • The beginning and end-of-year inventories for each calcined-lime byproduct or waste sold (tons)
  • For each month in the reporting year, Subpart S requires you to provide the following:
    • The method used to determine the quantity of calcined-lime byproduct or waste sold
    • An indication of whether the quantity sold is based on substitute data values
    • The standard method used (American Society for Testing and Materials or National Lime Association testing method) to determine the CaO content of each calcined-lime byproduct or waste sold
      • If the National Lime Association testing method was used, the name of the specific method must also be reported
    • An indication of whether the CaO content is based on substitute data values
    • The standard method used (American Society for Testing and Materials or National Lime Association testing method) to determine the MgO content of each calcined-lime byproduct or waste sold
      • If the National Lime Association testing method was used, the name of the specific method must also be reported
    • An indication of whether the MgO content is based on substitute data

If there are months where a particular lime product was not produced, choose “Did not operate”. If there are months where you used Best Available Monitoring Methods (BAMM) instead of the ASTM or NLA methods, choose “Other”. Indicate BAMM use here, but add specific BAMM details under Subpart A.

For each calcined-lime byproduct or waste generated by your facility that is NOT sold, Subpart S requires you to report the following data, on an annual basis:

  • An indication of whether the quantity NOT sold is based on substitute data values
  • An indication of whether the CaO content is based on substitute data values
  • An indication of whether the MgO content is based on substitute data values

When you have finished entering the required information, click SAVE.

If a portion of a lime byproduct or waste is sold and the remainder is NOT sold, the byproduct or waste should be entered in both places. In those cases, ensure that the names are similar (i.e., “BP1 sold” and “BP1 not sold”.)

Step 4: Repeat Steps 1-3

Repeat Steps 1-3 until the required information has been entered for all calcined-lime byproducts and wastes produced at your facility. Note, for calcined-lime byproducts and wastes NOT sold, information is similarly reported in the forms on an annual rather than monthly basis.
