NR 422.143(3) (3)Emission limitations.
NR 422.143(3)(a) (a) Dryer exhaust.
NR 422.143(3)(a)1.1. On and after May 1, 2010, no owner or operator of a heatset web lithographic printing press may operate, or cause, allow or permit the operation of a lithographic press that has maximum theoretical emissions of VOCs, from the dryer, equal to or greater than 25 tons per year from heatset inks, unless the owner or operator installs and operates an emission control device and meets the applicable emission limitation as follows:
NR 422.143(3)(a)1.a. a. If the emission control device was first installed prior to May 1, 2010, the owner or operator shall reduce VOC emissions from the lithographic press dryer exhaust by 90% by weight as carbon, minus methane and ethane, or maintain a maximum dryer exhaust outlet VOC concentration of 20 ppmv, as carbon, minus methane and ethane.
NR 422.143(3)(a)1.b. b. If the emission control device was first installed after May 1, 2010, the owner or operator shall reduce VOC emissions from the lithographic press dryer exhaust by 95% by weight as carbon, minus methane and ethane, or maintain a maximum dryer exhaust outlet VOC concentration of 20 ppmv, as carbon, minus methane and ethane.
NR 422.143 Note Note: With regard to use of the phrase “first installed" in this paragraph, the first installation date for a control device does not change if the device is later moved to a new location. For example, if a brand new control device first installed in 1992 is moved to a new location in 1998, the first installation date is still 1992.

NR 422.144 NR 422.144Letterpress printing.
NR 422.144(1)(1)Applicability.
NR 422.144(1)(a)(a) This section applies to the owner or operator of a printing facility that operates a letterpress printing press in the county of Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Washington, or Waukesha if actual VOC emissions from all letterpress printing presses, including related letterpress cleaning activities at the facility, before consideration of controls, equal or exceed 3 tons on a 12 consecutive month rolling basis. When determining the VOC emissions for applicability under this paragraph, the VOC emissions from the cleaning of electronic components of a letterpress printing press, pre-press and post-press cleaning operations and the use of janitorial supplies used to clean around a letterpress printing press are excluded. The VOC emissions from solvents used in cold cleaners are excluded for applicability purposes.
NR 422.144 Note Note: Janitorial supplies are cleaners, such as detergent-based products, used to clean the floor or for other general cleaning purposes, for example, areas not contaminated with spilled ink.
NR 422.144(1)(b) (b) To determine VOC emissions under par. (a), the VOC content of a letterpress ink shall be multiplied by 0.8 for a heatset ink, or multiplied by 0.05 for a non-heatset ink, to account for VOC retention on the substrate.
NR 422.144(2) (2)Retention factors and capture efficiencies. For purposes of determining VOC emissions from letterpress printing operations, the following retention factors and capture efficiencies may be used:
NR 422.144(2)(a) (a) A 20% VOC retention factor for heatset petroleum oil inks printed on absorptive substrates, meaning 80% of the VOC in the ink is emitted during the printing process and is available for capture and control by an add-on pollution control device.
NR 422.144(2)(b) (b) A 95% VOC retention factor for sheet-fed and non-heatset web petroleum oil inks printed on absorptive substrates, meaning 5% of the VOC in the ink is emitted during the printing process.
NR 422.144(2)(c) (c) A 50% VOC retention factor for cleaning solution in shop towels where the composite partial vapor pressure of the VOC in the cleaning solution is less than 10 mm of Hg at 20°C (68°F) and the cleaning solution and contaminated shop towels are kept in closed containers, meaning 50% of the VOC used on the shop towels is emitted during the cleaning process.
NR 422.144(2)(d) (d) A 100% VOC capture efficiency for inks. All the VOC in the ink that is not retained is assumed to be volatilized in the press dryer. Capture efficiency testing for heatset dryers is not required if it is demonstrated that pressure in the dryer is negative relative to the surrounding press room and the airflow is into the dryer.
NR 422.144(2)(e) (e) A 40% VOC capture efficiency for automatic blanket or roller wash where the VOC composite partial vapor pressure of the blanket or roller wash is less than 10 mm of Hg at 20°C (68°F).
NR 422.144(3) (3)Exemptions. The following exemptions apply to letterpress printing operations in Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Washington and Waukesha counties:
NR 422.144(3)(a) (a) Up to 110 gallons of blanket or roller wash, on a 12-consecutive month rolling basis, which do not meet the low VOC composite partial vapor pressure or low VOC content requirements as stated in this section, are exempt from the requirements of this section.
NR 422.144(3)(b) (b) The printing of books on a heatset letterpress press is exempt from the requirements of sub. (4) (a).
NR 422.144(3)(c) (c) Heatset letterpress presses with a maximum web width of up to 22 inches are exempt from the requirements of sub. (4) (a).
NR 422.144(4) (4)Emission limitations.
NR 422.144(4)(a) (a) Dryer exhaust.
