If you previously reported under subpart HH for Reporting Year (RY) 2011, the Agency has carried some of your RY2011 data forward and entered it in your RY2012 forms to reduce reporting burden. The data that are carried forward are data elements that the Agency believes are unlikely to significantly change from year to year. The Agency has not carried forward data for data elements that typically change each year. will use your previous reporting year data forward to support emission calculations for the current year. For example, waste volumes and characterizations are stored from prior year reporting and used to reduce the reporting burden. No data is inserted into your your current year characterizations of landfill operation and wastes; these data must be entered for the current year by the reporter. It is still your responsibility to review and ensure that all the prior year information in your submission is correct, including data elements that are carried forward from the previous reporting year.
Please visit the Carry forward of data from previous submissions into RY2012 forms page for a general discussion of how e-GGRT will roll forward data from RY2011 to RY2012.

The reporter is responsible for ensuring all data are accurate before submitting their report. Consistent with 98.4(a), it is the designated representative (DR) for the facility or supplier that is responsible for reporting for the facility or supplier. The current facility owner is responsible for identifying and authorizing a DR and the DR is responsible for timely and accurate reporting. With respect to accurate reporting, 98.4(e)(1) of the rule requires that your report is certified "to the best of my knowledge and belief true, accurate, and complete." |
Please Note: If you previously reported under subpart HH for RY 2011 and are developing a RY2012 report, wastes disposed of in 2011 are now considered “Historical Waste Quantities.” Therefore:
- If you selected that your landfill was OPEN in 2011 and that YES, scales were used to determine the annual waste quantity in 2011, then in your RY2012 report under HISTORICAL WASTE QUANTITY ESTIMATION METHOD AND PERIOD:
- The scales period END year will be set to the year 2011. (The scales period START year will be carried over as it exists in the RY2011 report.)
- All other data will be carried over as they exist for 2011 except data under 2011 WASTE DISPOSAL QUANTITY METHOD. You will instead be required to select the appropriate 2012 WASTE DISPOSAL QUANTITY METHOD.
- If you selected that your landfill was OPEN in 2011, that NO, scales were not used to determine the annual waste quantity under HISTORICAL WASTE QUANTITY ESTIMATION METHOD AND PERIOD, but that scales were used to determine the annual quantity of waste disposed of in 2011:
- Your RY2012 report will indicate that scales were used to determine the annual waste quantity prior to RY2012. That is, the answer to “Were scales used to determine the annual waste quantity for any years prior to 2012?” will be turned to “Yes”.
- The scales period START and END year will both be set to the year 2011.
- All other data will be carried over as they exist for 2011 except data under 2011 WASTE DISPOSAL QUANTITY METHOD. You will instead be required to select the appropriate 2012 WASTE DISPOSAL QUANTITY METHOD.
- If you selected that your landfill was OPEN in 2011 and that YES, tipping receipts, company records, or measured working capacities were used to determine the annual waste quantity under HISTORICAL WASTE QUANTITY ESTIMATION METHOD AND PERIOD, and that working capacity for each vehicle/container was used to determine the annual quantity of waste disposed of in 2011:
- The tipping receipts/company records period END year will be set to the year 2011. (The tipping receipts/company records period START year will be carried over as it exists in the RY2011 report.)
- All other data will be carried over as they exist for 2011 except data under 2011 WASTE DISPOSAL QUANTITY METHOD. You will instead be required to select the appropriate 2012 WASTE DISPOSAL QUANTITY METHOD.
- If you selected that your landfill was OPEN in 2011, that NO, tipping receipts, company records, or measured working capacities were not used to determine the annual waste quantity under HISTORICAL WASTE QUANTITY ESTIMATION METHOD AND PERIOD, and that the working capacity for each vehicle/container was used to determine the annual quantity of waste disposed of in 2011:
- Your RY2012 report will indicate that tipping receipts, company records, or measured working capacities were used to determine the annual waste quantity prior to RY2012. That is, the answer to “Were tipping receipts, company records, or measured working capacities used to determine the annual waste quantity for any years prior to 2012…?” will be turned to “Yes”
- The tipping receipts/company records period START and END year will both be set to the year 2011.
- All other data will be carried over as they exist for 2011 except data under 2011 WASTE DISPOSAL QUANTITY METHOD. You will instead be required to select the appropriate 2012 WASTE DISPOSAL QUANTITY METHOD.
