Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation (NMPC) has developed a data management system to handle Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) data collected to meet the requirements of Title IV of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. The NMPC data management system described in this paper has three components: hardware, software, and procedures. The data management system`s hardware consists of computers and the existing wide area network system. The systems includes a Data Acquisition and Handling System (DAHS) computer at each stack, a database server at the corporate offices, a wide area network for data transfer from the DAHS to the server, a CEMS workstation, and PCs connected to the network. The second component of the system is the software. The DAHS uses a program that acquires the data and generates all the required reports. It is the only certified software. Data review, analysis and preparation for submittal is done through commercial software products and programs developed in-house. The last component, procedures, governs the flow of data from the stack to the diskette submitted under the Designated Representative`s signature. This component is included to document that all the data have been reviewed completely.
