NR 484.04 (13), of each cleaning material, in pounds per gallon of material, as employed or the VOC composite partial vapor pressure of the solvents or solvent solutions used in industrial cleaning operations, depending on whether the cleaning material is subject to sub.
(3) or
(8).
NR 423.037(9)(c)2.
2. Any owner or operator subject to sub.
(6) shall keep a record of the results of any testing conducted as required under sub.

NR 423.05 Liquid VOC solvent dry cleaning. NR 423.05(1)(1)
Applicability. This section applies to liquid VOC solvent washers, dryers, solvent filters, settling tanks, vacuum stills, piping, ductwork, pumps, storage tanks, and other containers and conveyors of liquid VOC solvent that are used in a liquid VOC solvent dry cleaning facility which has maximum theoretical emissions of VOCs from the facility greater than or equal to one of the following:
NR 423.05(1)(a)
(a) 25 tons per year for a facility which is located in the county of Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Washington, or Waukesha.

NR 423.05(2)(a)(a) The owner or operator of a liquid VOC solvent dry cleaning facility shall limit VOC emissions from each liquid VOC solvent dry cleaning dryer to an average of 3.5 kilograms per 100 kilograms, dry weight, of articles cleaned, or install and operate a solvent recovery dryer in a manner such that the dryer remains closed and the recovery phase continues until the flow rate of recovered solvent no longer exceeds 50 milliliters per minute.
NR 423.05(2)(b)
(b) The owner or operator of a liquid VOC solvent dry cleaning facility shall reduce the VOC content of all filtration wastes to not more than 1.0 kilogram per 100 kilograms, dry weight, of articles cleaned before disposing of such wastes or exposing them to the atmosphere, or install and operate a cartridge filtration system, and drain the filter cartridges in their sealed housings for at least 8 hours before removing them.
NR 423.05(2)(c)
