NR 406.17(1)(1)Issuance of registration construction permits.
NR 406.17(1)(a) (a) The department may issue registration permits for the construction, reconstruction, replacement, relocation or modification of stationary sources with low actual or potential emissions in accordance with s. 285.60 (2g), Stats.
NR 406.17 Note Note: A registration construction permit is not required prior to commencing construction, reconstruction, replacement, relocation or modification of a stationary source if the source is covered under a registration operation permit and the project meets the criteria in s. NR 407.105 (5) (a).
NR 406.17(1)(b) (b) When proposing to issue a registration construction permit, the department shall prepare an air quality analysis and a preliminary determination on the approvability of the proposed registration construction permit. The department shall use the applicable procedures in s. 285.61, Stats., to issue a registration construction permit. The department may issue the registration construction permit if the applicable criteria in s. 285.63, Stats., are met. The procedural requirements in s. 285.61 (2) to (8), Stats., do not apply to the determination of whether an individual stationary source may be covered by a registration construction permit.
NR 406.17 Note Note: The statutes cited above require that when issuing a registration construction permit, the department distribute a notice of the availability of the proposed registration construction permit and of the department's analysis and preliminary determination, a notice of the opportunity for public comment and a notice of the opportunity to request a public hearing. There will be a 30-day public comment period and the department may hold a public hearing within 60 days after the deadline for requesting one.
NR 406.17(1)(c) (c) The registration construction permit shall contain applicability criteria, emission caps and limitations, monitoring and recordkeeping requirements, reporting requirements, compliance demonstration methods and general conditions. The permit terms and conditions shall include those required to comply with the Act and those required to assure compliance with applicable provisions in ch. 285, Stats., and chs. NR 400 to 499. Notwithstanding the requirement in s. NR 424.03 (2) (c) to determine the latest available control techniques and operating practices demonstrating best current technology (LACT) for a specific process line, the department may include conditions in the registration construction permit that represent LACT, if the requirements of s. NR 424.03 (2) (a) or (b) are determined to be technologically infeasible.
NR 406.17 Note Note: If an area is designated nonattainment for particulate matter, PM10, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide or lead, the department may revise the registration construction permit, or issue a different one, to include nonattainment area specific applicability criteria.
NR 406.17(2) (2)Criteria for issuance of a registration construction permit.
NR 406.17(2)(a)(a) A registration construction permit shall be issued for the construction, reconstruction, replacement, relocation or modification of stationary sources that meet all of the following criteria:
NR 406.17(2)(a)1. 1. Actual emissions of each air contaminant from the construction, reconstruction, replacement, relocation or modification of the stationary source or sources will not exceed 25% of any major source threshold in s. NR 407.02 (4), over any 12 consecutive month period, except that emissions of lead may not exceed 0.5 tons over any 12 consecutive month period.
NR 406.17(2)(a)2. 2. The facility is not, and will not as a result of the project be, a major source under ch. NR 405, 407 or 408.
NR 406.17(2)(b) (b) Notwithstanding par. (a), the department may issue registration construction permits for coverage of other types of stationary sources that the department determines have or will have low actual or potential emissions, in response to a petition submitted under s. NR 406.18.
NR 406.17(3) (3)Sources ineligible for coverage under a registration construction permit. Notwithstanding the existence of a registration construction permit, an individual stationary source may not be covered under a registration construction permit if any of the following criteria apply:
NR 406.17(3)(a) (a) The emissions unit or units are an affected source under ch. NR 409, a municipal solid waste combustion source under s. NR 500.03 (151) or an infectious waste combustion source.
NR 406.17(3)(b) (b) The proposed project would result in one or more new or existing emissions units at the facility being required to obtain a permit under ch. NR 405 or 408.
NR 406.17 Note Note: An example is the addition of an emissions unit at a PSD or nonattainment area major source that is considered a major modification to that source. Another example is a project that results in an emissions unit either upstream or downstream from the project increasing its emissions such that it would be required to obtain a permit under ch. NR 405 or 408.
NR 406.17(3)(c) (c) The emissions unit or units cause or exacerbate, or may cause or exacerbate, a violation of any ambient air quality standard or ambient air increment, as determined by the department through an air quality assessment conducted in accordance with s. NR 406.11 (1) (g).
NR 406.17(3)(d) (d) The construction, reconstruction, replacement, relocation, or modification of the emissions unit or units would be subject to an emission limitation or emission standard under section 111 of the Act (42 USC 7411) or under section 112 of the Act (42 USC 7412), other than those contained in the registration construction permit, or that are determined by the department to not preclude eligibility for the registration construction permit.
NR 406.17(4) (4)Procedure for determining coverage under a registration construction permit for an individual source.
NR 406.17(4)(a)(a) An owner or operator of a stationary source who applies for coverage under a registration construction permit shall submit an application using department approved registration permit application forms.
