(a) located in the county of Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Washington, or Waukesha if VOC emissions from all industrial cleaning operations, before consideration of controls, equal or exceed 3 tons per year on a 12 consecutive month rolling basis.
NR 421.06 Note Note: “Maximum theoretical emissions" has the meaning given in s. NR 419.02 (11).
NR 421.06(2) (2) Emission control requirements. The owner or operator of a coatings manufacturing facility shall:
NR 421.06(2)(a) (a) Keep all portable mixing vats covered with lids, except to add ingredients or to take samples. The lids shall extend at least 1/2 inch beyond the outer rim of the vat or be attached to the rim of the vat and shall be maintained in good condition such that, when in place, they maintain contact with the rim for at least 90% of the circumference of the rim of the vat. The lids may have a slit to allow clearance for insertion of a mixer shaft. The slit shall be covered after insertion of the mixer, except to allow safe clearance for the mixer shaft.
NR 421.06(2)(b) (b) Keep all stationary vats covered, except to add ingredients or take samples.
NR 421.06(2)(c) (c) Clean all portable mixing vats, stationary vats, high speed dispersion mills, grinding mills, and roller mills in a way which minimizes the emissions of VOCs into the atmosphere and which is approved by the department.
NR 421.06(2)(d) (d) Equip any grinding mill installed after October 1, 1986 with fully enclosed screens.
NR 421.06(2)(e) (e) Monitor each valve, pump, sealed agitator, compressor, flange, and relief valve used with a process stream which contains at least 10.0% VOCs by weight using Method 21 of Appendix A, 40 CFR part 60, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04. The monitoring schedule shall be as follows:
NR 421.06(2)(e)1. 1. Monitor each valve, pump, sealed agitator, compressor, and relief valve that is located within 2.0 meters (6.6 feet) of a permanent support surface once during each calendar quarter.
NR 421.06(2)(e)2. 2. Monitor all other valves, pumps, sealed agitators, compressors, and relief valves, and all flanges, once during each calendar year.
NR 421.06(2)(e)3. 3. Notwithstanding subd. 1., if less than or equal to 2% of the valves monitored pursuant to subd. 1. are found to leak for 5 consecutive quarters, monitoring of valves under subd. 1. will not be required for the following 3 consecutive quarters. Monitoring shall be conducted during the next quarter and every fourth quarter thereafter. If, during monitoring required under this subdivision, more than 2% of valves monitored are found to leak, quarterly monitoring under subd. 1. shall be reinstituted in the next quarter.
NR 421.06(2)(f) (f) Check bimonthly by visual inspection each valve, pump, sealed agitator, compressor, flange, and relief valve for indications of dripping liquid.
NR 421.06(2)(g) (g) Repair all leaks detected as soon as practicable, but not later than 15 calendar days after leak detection unless the repair is technically infeasible without a process unit shutdown. In the case of such infeasibility, repair shall occur before the end of the next process unit shutdown.
NR 421.06(2)(h) (h) Document to the department all repairs of detectable leaks of VOCs for each calendar quarter. This documentation is to include a description of the equipment that caused the leak, date of detection, date of repair, date of follow-up inspection, and an explanation of what caused the leak. This documentation is to be submitted to the department within one month after the close of the calendar quarter during which the leaks were detected and repaired.
