where:
inhalation impact concentration annual average is the annual average concentration of a contaminant in micrograms per cubic meter (mg/m3)
unit risk factor for the contaminant is the unit risk factor value established by either EPA or the California air resources board and is expressed in reciprocal micrograms per cubic meter (mg/m3)-1
NR 445.08(2)(d)
(d) Altering the release height or dispersion characteristics of each hazardous air contaminant in Table A, B or C of
s. NR 445.07 such that the alteration results in the source's ability to meet
par. (a),
(b) or
(c) or
sub. (3) (a) 1. or
(b) 1.
NR 445.08(2)(e)
(e) Limiting the concentration of each hazardous air contaminant that has a standard expressed as an ambient air concentration in Table A or B of
s. NR 445.07 in the stack to less than the concentration allowed under column (g) of the table for that contaminant.
NR 445.08(2)(f)
(f) Limiting emissions of the hazardous air contaminant through application of the control requirement identified in column (i) of Table A, B or C of
s. NR 445.07. The control requirement shall be first applied to the emissions unit at the facility that emits the greatest actual annual amount of the hazardous air contaminant. If application of the control requirement to this emissions unit does not reduce facility emissions of the hazardous air contaminant to a level less than the rate listed in column (c), (d), (e) or (f) of Table A, B or C of
s. NR 445.07 for the contaminant, the control requirement shall be applied to other emissions units at the facility that emit progressively smaller amounts of the contaminant until emissions from the facility are below the emission rate listed in column (c), (d), (e) or (f) of Table A, B or C of
s. NR 445.07 for the contaminant or until the control requirement has been applied to all emissions units at the facility that emit at least 10% of the rate listed in column (c), (d), (e) or (f) of Table A, B or C of
s. NR 445.07 for the contaminant. If application of the control requirement to these emissions units does not result in the reduction of at least 50% of the potential emissions of the contaminant from the facility, the department may require application of the control requirement on a reasonable array of smaller emissions units that emit the contaminant.
NR 445.08 Note
Note: The term “control requirement" is used to represent the applicable level of emission reduction required for the hazardous air contaminant under review, in other words LAER or BACT. These reduction options include lower emitting processes or practices, material substitution, add-on controls, or any combination of the options.
NR 445.08(3)(a)(a) The owner or operator of a source may use the following alternative method of complying with any control requirements in
s. NR 445.07 (1) (c),
(2) or

(5) Determination of hazardous air contaminant emissions and concentrations. For the purpose of determining emissions and concentrations of hazardous air contaminants under this subchapter, the owner or operator of a source:
NR 445.08(5)(a)
(a) May rely on information on an approved material safety data sheet if the approved material safety data sheet lists a hazardous air contaminant listed in Table A, B or C of
s. NR 445.07 and for each hazardous air contaminant with a standard expressed as an ambient air concentration in column (g) of Table A, B or C constitutes 1% (10,000 parts per million) or more of the material, or for each hazardous air contaminant with a standard expressed as a control requirement in column (i) of Table A, B or C constitutes 0.1% (1,000 parts per million) or more of the material. If an approved material safety data sheet for a material does not list a hazardous air contaminant in Table A, B or C of
s. NR 445.07 at or above the amounts listed in this paragraph, the material will be presumed not to result in emissions of a hazardous air contaminant unless a hazardous air contaminant is formed in processing the material.
NR 445.08(5)(b)
(b) May rely upon mass balance or other use, consumption and analytical methodologies for calculating potential or theoretical emissions. However, the department may require that a stack test be conducted to affirm the accuracy of emission estimations.
NR 445.08(5)(c)
(c) Is not required to consider emissions resulting directly from naturally occurring constituents in windblown soil.
NR 445.08(5)(d)
(d) May rely on information generated by either the EPA screening
or refined dispersion model to demonstrate either of the following:
NR 445.08(5)(d)1.
1. Concentrations of each hazardous air contaminant will not exceed the ambient standard in column (g) of Table A or B of
s. NR 445.07.
