General

Issue: More recent versions of Google Chrome insert a check box onto many of the dialog/message boxes generated by e-GGRT. If this "Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs" check box is selected, Chrome will prevent e-GGRT from presenting important dialog boxes that are important to e-GGRT screen flows. For example, if the box is selected and e-GGRT subsequently attempt to display a dialog box asking you to confirm that you wish to delete a unit, Chrome will prevent the display of the dialog box and the application will appear to be broken. This behavior will continue for the remainder of your Chrome session.

Workaround: Do not select the "Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs" check box when using Chrome. If you do, you should shut down and restart Chrome to enable Chrome to display dialog boxes from e-GGRT.

W

RESOLVED 3/4/16. Updated version of Optional calculation workbook is now available.

Issue: A number of issues have been identified with the RY15 Optional calculation workbook (original updated 2/26/16). The updated workbook, dated 3/4/2016, is available at Optional Calculation Spreadsheet Instructions as is a change log detailing the specific modifications made.

W

RESOLVED 3/19/16. Updated the XML schema to expand enumerations for type of fuels for the Combustion Equipment source.

Issue: For the Combustion Equipment source two enumerations for Type of Fuel were missing a number of fuels. These fuels have now been added to the enumeration and schema and these are now consistent with the fuel choices presented in the reporting form. Please review the content on Subpart W XML Reporting Help for additional detail.

W

RESOLVED 2/17/16. Please re-upload your Subpart W reporting form and e-GGRT will re-calculate total methane and nitrous oxide emissions.

Issue: Total methane and nitrous oxide emissions for Subpart W are not being calculated correctly. In Reporting Year 2014 (and prior years), methane and nitrous oxide emissions were reported in units of metric tons of CO2 equivalent, requiring division by Global Warming Potentials to yield methane and nitrous oxide emission totals in metric tons of each gas. A defect in the e-GGRT RY2015 application is resulting in 'division by GWP' to continue, despite the fact that RY15 methane and nitrous oxide quantities are already in units of metric tons.

Description

Subpart C

Issue: When using the Tier 2 or Tier 3 Streamlined Reporting tools to update equation inputs, the e-GGRT system will not automatically re-calculate your total Subpart C CO₂, CH₄, and N₂O emissions using the fuel-specific GHG emissions calculated with the equation input values in the uploaded reporting form.

Workaround: In order to have the system re-calculate your Subpart C emissions totals, please use the OPEN button on each reporting configuration's row within the Configuration Summary table to access the Configuration Summary page, and again use the OPEN button to review and SAVE the configuration-level CO₂emissions (total biogenic CO₂ and non-biogenic CO₂, as appropriate). The SAVE action on the Configuration-Level Emissions page will ensure that all GHG emissions for that configuration are properly included in the total Subpart C emissions. These steps are necessary for any reporting configurations for which either this is the first upload or you have made a change to previously-uploaded inputs in your most recently-uploaded reporting form.

We are working to correct this problem in a future maintenance release, by ensuring that the system re-calculates total Subpart C GHG emissions totals immediately after each Tier 2 and Tier 3 reporting form upload.

Reference: #1027

Subpart W

Issue: When resubmitting a RY17 or RY18 report that includes a Subpart W reporting form, users may encounter the following error during generation.

Image Added

Workaround: The RY17 or RY18 Subpart W reporting form needs to be re-uploaded. Return to the Subpart W reporting page and download the currently uploaded version of the reporting form by clicking on the file name. Next, delete the currently uploaded reporting form by clicking the red "X" in the right-hand column. Re-upload the same Subpart W reporting form file again. Once uploaded, proceed to the facility overview page to generate your report.

Reference: #1028

Subpart C

Issue: When downloading a pre-populated Tier 2 Bulk Equation Inputs Reporting Form that includes an Other or Blended Fuel, the Excel reporting form does not properly black out Column B14 "HHV Calculation Methodology". This data element is not required for reporting for Other or Blended Fuels.

Workaround: You can ignore Column B14 and B15 for Other or Blended Fuels. Data you enter into these cells for Other or Blended Fuels is not saved by e-GGRT when the reporting form is uploaded.

Reference: #985

Subpart DD

Issue: Subpart DD reporters from the state of North Carolina may encounter difficulty resubmitting RY2017 and prior year reporting forms because of a misspelling in the state name in the old reporting forms. Prior to RY18 the Subpart DD reporting form and the GHG reporting schema spelled the state of North Carolina as "North Caroline". This spelling is no longer accepted.

Workaround: Users who wish to resubmit their Subpart DD data for North Carolina for RY17 or prior years should migrate their data to a newly downloaded reporting form, ensuring that the state name "North Carolina" is selected from the pull down list. You may contact the GHGRP Help Desk if they need clarification or assistance.

Reference: #8725

Subpart C

RESOLVED: 2/21/2020 - The Tier 3 Streamlined Reporting tool is now available.

Issue: Tier 3 Streamlined Reporting coming soon! EPA has created time-saving data entry tools for subpart C reporters using Tier 1, 2, and 3 calculation methodologies, however the Tier 3 streamlined reporting feature is not yet available. EPA plans to release this feature in late February for use in preparing your Reporting Year 2019 annual reports.

Reference: #755

Subpart C

RESOLVED: 2/21/2020

Issue: After uploading a Tier 2 Equation Inputs Bulk Reporting form and returning to the Subpart C Overview page, e-GGRT may incorrectly identify which Configuration Names/IDs are "Complete" (no additional data elements are required/missing) and which are "Incomplete" (additional data elements are required/missing) in the Status column of the Configuration Summary table.

Reference: GHG-916, GHG-922

Subpart C

RESOLVED: 2/21/2020

Issue: If you upload a Tier 2 Equation Inputs Bulk Reporting form with one or more equation inputs missing for a given unit/fuel, e-GGRT may not remove methane emissions value for the same unit/fuel that was calculated from a prior form upload that contained a complete set of equation inputs.

Reference: GHG-917

Subpart C

RESOLVED: 3/11/2020

Issue: When entering data into e-GGRT for fuels employing the Tier 2 methodology, the system may generate redundant pairs of validation messages related to missing methane and/or nitrous oxide emissions values, or the values of their corresponding carbon dioxide equivalent values, as shown in the example below for nitrous oxide.

Image Added

Reference: #997

Subpart W

RESOLVED 8/26/2020

Issue: When a Onshore natural gas transmission compression facility resubmits an RY15 XML report, the e-GGRT system prevents the user from advancing to the reporting screens to complete the submission process.
