ADEM Alabama Department of Environmental Management
Terms & Conditions

The access and use of the Air Emissions Electronic Reporting System (AEERS) for the electronic submittal of environmental information requires the creation of a user ID and password that I must maintain and keep confidential. I will review the following steps concerning the creation and maintenance of a user ID and password.

Warning Notice
The Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) AEERS Registration procedure is part of a State of Alabama computer system, which is for authorized use only. Unauthorized access or use of this computer system may subject violators to administrative action. All information on this computer system may be monitored, recorded, read, copied, and disclosed by and to authorized personnel for official purposes, including law enforcement. Access or use of this computer system by any person, whether authorized or unauthorized, constitutes consent to these terms.

Privacy Statement
ADEM will use the personal identifying information which you provide for the expressed purpose of registration to the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Shared CROMERR Services site, validating user identity through the use of LexisNexis services, and for updating and correcting information in internal ADEM databases as necessary. ADEM will not make this information available for other purposes unless required by law. ADEM does not sell or otherwise transfer personal information to an outside third party.

Choosing an AEERS Password
For AEERS Registration purposes, I agree to select a password which will not be easily guessed (e.g. my name, my children's names, birthdays, etc.). Passwords must meet the following criteria:
  • Be between 8-15 alpha-numeric characters (no spaces or special characters)
  • Not contain your email address
  • Not contain the word password
  • Contain only letters and numbers
  • Contain at least one lowercase and one uppercase letter
  • Contain at least one number
  • Begin with a letter
Protecting My AEERS Login Credentials
I agree to protect my AEERS password. I will not divulge my password to any other individual. I will not store it in an unprotected location, and I will not allow it to be written into computer scripts to achieve automated login. When I or ADEM administrative staff believes that the password has been lost, misused or compromised, the account shall be deactivated by ADEM AEERS staff.

Terminating My AEERS Account
I agree to notify the ADEM AEERS Help Desk immediately if my duties change and I no longer need to interact with AEERS on behalf of my organization. I agree to make this notification via email to my assigned ADEM Inspector or to the AEERS Help Desk at aeers@adem.alabama.gov. This notification will allow ADEM to deactivate my account and protect it from potential abuse by others.
