Chapter NR 464

NR 464.09(11)(f)1. 1. A first effort to repair or correct the closed-vent system shall be made as soon as practicable but no later than 5 calendar days after the problem is identified.

NR 464.09(11)(f)2. 2. The repair or corrective action shall be completed no later than 15 calendar days after the problem is identified. Delay of repair or corrective action is allowed if the repair or corrective action is technically infeasible without a process unit shutdown or if the owner or operator determines that the emissions resulting from immediate repair would be greater than the emission likely to result from delay. Repair of the equipment shall be completed by the end of the next process shutdown.

NR 464.09(12)(a)1. 1. Owners and operators shall comply with the recordkeeping requirements of s. NR 464.10 instead of the requirements of 40 CFR 63.964(a)(1)(vi) and (b)(3).

NR 464.09(12)(a)2. 2. Owners and operators shall comply with inspection and monitoring requirements specified in subs. (1) and (11) instead of 40 CFR 63.964(a)(2) of subpart RR.

NR 464.09(12)(b) (b) Each condensate tank used in the closed collection system shall be operated with no detectable leaks as specified in s. NR 464.06 (4) (b) 1., measured initially and annually by the procedures in 40 CFR 63.457(d), incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.03 (6).

NR 464.09(12)(c) (c) If an inspection required by this section identifies visible defects in the closed collection system, or if an instrument reading of 500 ppm or greater above background is measured, then corrective actions specified in 40 CFR 63.964(b) of subpart RR shall be taken.

NR 464.09(13) (13) Each owner or operator using a control device, technique or an alternative parameter other than those specified in subs.

NR 464.03 (5) or 464.06 (7), operation of the control device below minimum operating parameter values or above maximum operating parameter values established under this chapter or failure to perform procedures required by this chapter shall constitute a violation of the applicable emission standard of this chapter and be reported as a period of excess emissions.

NR 464.09(16) (16) The procedures of this paragraph apply to each owner or operator of an open biological treatment system complying with sub. (10) whenever a monitoring parameter excursion occurs, and the owner or operator chooses to conduct a performance test to demonstrate compliance with the applicable emission limit. A monitoring parameter excursion occurs whenever the monitoring parameters specified in sub. (10) (a) 1. to 3. or any of the monitoring parameters specified in sub.

NR 464.09(16)(a)3. 3. Steps shall be taken to minimize total HAP emissions to the atmosphere during the parameter excursion period.

NR 464.09(16)(b) (b) A parameter excursion is not a violation of the applicable emission standard if the results of the performance test conducted using the procedures in this paragraph demonstrate compliance with the applicable emission limit in s. NR 464.06 (5) (b).

NR 464.09(16)(b)1. 1. Conduct a performance test as specified in 40 CFR 63.457 using the monitoring data specified in sub. (10) (a) to (c) that coincides with the time of the parameter excursion. No maintenance or changes shall be made to the open biological treatment system after the beginning of a parameter excursion that would influence the results of the performance test.

NR 464.09(16)(b)2. 2. If the results of the performance test specified in subd. 1. demonstrate compliance with the applicable emission limit in s. NR 464.06 (5) (b), then the parameter excursion is not a violation of the applicable emission limit.

NR 464.09(16)(b)3. 3. If the results of the performance test specified in subd. 1. do not demonstrate compliance with the applicable emission limit in s. NR 464.06 (5) (b) because the total HAP mass entering the open biological treatment system is below the level needed to demonstrate compliance with the applicable emission limit in s. NR 464.06 (5) (b), then the owner or operator shall perform the following comparisons:

NR 464.09(16)(b)3.a. a. If the value of fbio (MeOH) determined during the performance test specified in subd. 1. is within the range of values established during the initial and subsequent performance tests approved by the department, then the parameter excursion is not a violation of the applicable standard.

NR 464.09(16)(b)3.b. b. If the value of fbio (MeOH) determined during the performance test specified in subd. 1. is not within the range of values established during the initial and subsequent performance tests approved by the department, then the parameter excursion is a violation of the applicable standard.

NR 464.09(16)(b)4. 4. The results of the performance test specified in subd. 1. shall be recorded as specified in s. NR 464.10 (6).

NR 464.09(16)(c) (c) If an owner or operator determines that performing the required procedures under par. (b) for a nonthoroughly mixed open biological system would expose a worker to dangerous, hazardous or otherwise unsafe conditions, all of the following procedures shall be performed:

NR 464.09(16)(c)1. 1. Calculate the mass removal or percent reduction value using the procedures specified in 40 CFR 63.457(l) except the value for fbio (MeOH) shall be determined using the procedures in Appendix E of 40 CFR part 63, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (25r).

NR 464.09(16)(c)2. 2. Repeat the procedures in subd. 1. for every day until the unsafe conditions have passed.

NR 464.09(16)(c)3. 3. A parameter excursion is a violation of the standard if the percent reduction or mass removal determined in subd. 1. is less than the percent reduction or mass removal standards specified in s. NR 464.06 (5) (b), as appropriate, unless the value of fbio (MeOH) determined using the procedures in 40 CFR part 63 Appendix E, as specified in subd. 1., is within the range of fbio (MeOH) values established during the initial and subsequent performance tests previously approved by the department.

NR 464.09(16)(c)4. 4. The determination that there is a condition that exposes a worker to dangerous, hazardous or otherwise unsafe conditions shall be documented according to requirements in s. NR 464.10 (5) and reporting in s. NR 464.11 (6).

NR 464.09(16)(c)5. 5. The requirements of pars. (a) and (b) shall be performed and met as soon as practical but no later than 24 hours after the conditions have passed that exposed a worker to dangerous, hazardous or otherwise unsafe conditions.
