The monitoring data collected by the owner or operator of the affected source in accordance with s. NR 463.07 show that the emission limit has been exceeded, in which case quarterly reports shall be submitted. Once an owner or operator of an affected source reports an exceedance, ongoing compliance status reports shall be submitted quarterly until a request to reduce reporting frequency under par. (b) is approved. NR 463.106(7)(b)(b) Request to reduce frequency of ongoing compliance status reports. NR 463.106(7)(b)1.1. An owner or operator who is required to submit ongoing compliance status reports on a quarterly or more frequent basis may reduce the frequency of reporting to semiannual if all of the following conditions are met: NR 463.106(7)(b)1.a.a. For one full year, the ongoing compliance status reports, which may, for example, be quarterly or monthly, demonstrate that the affected source is in compliance with the relevant emission limit. NR 463.106(7)(b)1.b.b. The owner or operator continues to comply with all applicable recordkeeping and monitoring requirements of ch. NR 460 and this subchapter. NR 463.106(7)(b)1.c.c. The department does not object to a reduced reporting frequency for the affected source, as provided in subds. 2. and 3. NR 463.106(7)(b)2.2. The frequency of submitting ongoing compliance status reports may be reduced only after the owner or operator notifies the department in writing of the owner or operator’s intention to make such a change, and the department does not object to the intended change. In deciding whether to approve a reduced reporting frequency, the department may review information concerning the source’s entire previous performance history during the 5-year recordkeeping period prior to the intended change, or the recordkeeping period since the source’s compliance date, whichever is shorter. Records subject to review may include performance test results, monitoring data and evaluations of an owner or operator’s conformance with emission limitations and work practice standards. The information may be used by the department to make a judgment about the source’s potential for noncompliance in the future. If the department disapproves the owner or operator’s request to reduce reporting frequency, the department shall notify the owner or operator in writing within 45 days after receiving notice of the owner or operator’s intention. The notification from the department to the owner or operator will specify the grounds on which the disapproval is based. In the absence of a notice of disapproval within 45 days, approval is automatically granted. NR 463.106(7)(b)3.3. As soon as the monitoring data required by s. NR 463.07 show that the source is not in compliance with the relevant emission limit, the frequency of reporting shall revert to quarterly, and the owner shall state this exceedance in the ongoing compliance status report for the next reporting period. After demonstrating ongoing compliance with the relevant emission limit for another full year, the owner or operator may again request approval from the department to reduce the reporting frequency as allowed by this paragraph. NR 463.106(7)(c)(c) Contents of ongoing compliance status reports. The owner or operator of an affected source for which compliance monitoring is required in accordance with s. NR 463.07 shall prepare a summary report to document the ongoing compliance status of the source. The report shall contain all of the following information: NR 463.106(7)(c)2.2. An identification of the operating parameter that is monitored for compliance determination, as required by s. NR 463.07. NR 463.106(7)(c)3.3.

A summary of operating parameter values, including the total duration of excess emissions during the reporting period as indicated by those values, the total duration of excess emissions expressed as a percent of the total source operating time during that reporting period, and a breakdown of the total duration of excess emissions during the reporting period into those that are due to process upsets, control equipment malfunctions, other known causes and unknown causes. NR 463.106(7)(c)9.9. A certification by a responsible official that the work practice standards in s. NR 463.05 were followed in accordance with the operation and maintenance plan for the source.

NR 463.05 (2) was not followed, an explanation of the reasons for not following the provisions, an assessment of whether any excess emission or parameter monitoring exceedances are believed to have occurred, and a copy of the report or reports required by s. NR 463.05 (2) (d) documenting that the operation and maintenance plan was not followed. NR 463.106(7)(c)11.11.

When more than one monitoring device is used to comply with the continuous compliance monitoring required by s. NR 463.07, the owner or operator shall report the results as required for each monitoring device. However, when one monitoring device is used as a backup for the primary monitoring device, the owner or operator shall only report the results from the monitoring device used to meet the monitoring requirements of this subchapter. If both devices are used to meet these requirements, then the owner or operator shall report the results from each monitoring device for the relevant compliance period. NR 463.106(8)(8) Ongoing compliance status reports for area sources. The requirements of this subsection do not alleviate affected area sources from complying with the requirements of state or federal operating permit programs under 40 CFR part 71. NR 463.106(8)(a)(a) Annual summary report. The owner or operator of an affected source that is located at an area source site shall prepare a summary report to document the ongoing compliance status of the affected source.

(c) is approved. NR 463.106(8)(b)3.3. The department may determine on a case-by-case basis that the summary report shall be completed more frequently and submitted, or that the annual report shall be submitted instead of being retained on site, if these measures are necessary to accurately assess the compliance status of the source. NR 463.106(8)(c)(c) Request to reduce frequency of ongoing compliance status reports. NR 463.106(8)(c)1.1. An owner or operator who is required to submit ongoing compliance status reports on a semiannual or more frequent basis, or is required to submit its annual report instead of retaining it on site, may reduce the frequency of reporting to annual or be allowed to maintain the annual report onsite if all of the following conditions are met: NR 463.106(8)(c)1.a.a.

The frequency of submitting ongoing compliance status reports may be reduced only after the owner or operator notifies the department in writing of the owner or operator’s intention to make such a change, and the department does not object to the intended change. In deciding whether to approve a reduced reporting frequency, the department may review information concerning the source’s previous performance history during the 5-year recordkeeping period prior to the intended change, or the recordkeeping period since the source’s compliance date, whichever is shorter. Records subject to review may include performance test results, monitoring data, and evaluations of an owner or operator’s conformance with emission limitations and work practice standards. The information may be used by the department to make a judgement about the source’s potential for noncompliance in the future. If the department disapproves the owner or operator’s request to reduce reporting frequency, the department shall notify the owner or operator in writing within 45 days after receiving notice of the owner or operator’s intention. The notification from the department to the owner or operator will specify the grounds on which the disapproval is based. In the absence of a notice of disapproval within 45 days, approval is automatically granted. NR 463.106(8)(c)3.3. As soon as the monitoring data required by s. NR 463.07 show that the source is not in compliance with the relevant emission limit, the frequency of reporting shall revert to semiannual, and the owner shall state this exceedance in the ongoing compliance status report for the next reporting period. After demonstrating ongoing compliance with the relevant emission limit for another full year, the owner or operator may again request approval from the department to reduce the reporting frequency as allowed by this paragraph. NR 463.106(9)(9) Reports associated with trivalent chromium baths. The requirements of this subsection do not alleviate affected sources from complying with the requirements of state or federal operating permit programs under ch. NR 407 or 40 CFR part 70.
