How do I receive copies of Monitoring Plan, QA or Emissions feedback?
To receive copies of monitoring plan/QA and/or emissions feedback, go to the Manage Feedback Recipients module under People on the Main Menu of CBS. Review the Feedback Recipients section of the Help file. The Help file can be accessed from any screen in CBS, including the login screen.
How do I view data through the ECMPS Client Tool?
To view data through the ECMPS Client Tool , you must be a feedback recipient for the plant(s). Review the Feedback Recipients section of the Help file. The Help file can be accessed from any screen in CBS, including the login screen. Please note that currently, if you select monitoring plan/QA and/or emissions because you wish to view the data through the ECMPS Client Tool, you will receive copies of quarterly feedback for those plant(s). CAMD realizes that in many cases, EPA and State users only want to view the data through the ECMPS Client Tool, and they do not want to receive copies of the feedback. CAMD is working to add functionality that will enable EPA and State users to opt out of receiving copies of the quarterly feedback. Once the functionality is in place, EPA and State users will be informed, and this guidance will be modified to include instructions for opting out of receiving copies of quarterly feedback.
How do I obtain access for CBS/ECMPS as test contractor and environmental consultant?
