An appliance leaks 125 percent of its full charge in a calendar year. When is the report to EPA due?
March 1 of the subsequent year.
- December 31 of the same year
- March 1 of the following year ✔
- Within 10 days of the leak
Why: Owners of appliances holding 50 or more pounds that leak 125 percent or more of their charge in a calendar year must send EPA a report by March 1 of the next year. It describes efforts to find and repair the leaks.
Huh, didn't know that: Notifications go electronically to [email protected] unless they contain confidential business information.
Why do chronic leakers file by March 1? They don't want to be late on their drip report.
