New Requirements: Adding Probes
After mentioning some important preliminary items in the first and second posts of this series, the attention will now turn to correcting some problems in the monitoring plan data.
As soon as you install the Client Tool, you will be able to run evaluations on your monitoring plan data. The evaluation reports you generate will inevitably have errors that need to be corrected. There are several reasons for this. One reason is that there are new reporting requirements in ECMPS that require sources to report data which was not required under the EDR. This post will focus on the new requirement to include a probe component for CEM systems. (See the Specific Considerations section of the MonitoringSystemData section of the Monitoring Plan Reporting Instructions.)
If you evaluate your current monitoring plan in ECMPS and you have CEM systems, you will receive a SYSTEM-23-A evaluation error in your Monitoring Plan Evaluation report. The correction is very straightforward. Update your monitoring plan by adding all of the relevant probe components. Then link these probe components to your CEM systems.
In the Client Tool, this is accomplished through the Monitoring Plan Data Module. After selecting the monitoring plan to edit, add a new probe component from the Component tab. Set the component type code to "PRB" and include a new component ID along with the manufacturer and the serial number. Click the Save Changes button.
To associate the probe with the system, go to the Systems tab and select the system you want to modify. Then select the System Component tab in the lower part of the screen. Click the Add button. Select the probe component ID from the list of component IDs. Then enter the appropriate Begin Date and Begin Hour. Click the Save Changes button.
