NR 425.05(2)(d)1.1. Notwithstanding s. NR 425.04 (4), to demonstrate compliance under this subsection, actual emissions from all coating and printing lines participating in an internal offset must be less than or equal to allowable emissions as calculated using the equation in par. (b) 2. NR 425.05(2)(d)2.2. Emission reductions from shutdowns or production curtailments or which were claimed in the state’s federally approved demonstration of attainment, or any subsequent updated demonstration of attainment, may not participate in an internal offset. NR 425.05(2)(d)3.3. Coating and printing lines subject to chs. NR 405, 440 or 446 to 449, or a lowest achievable emission rate (LAER) emission limitation, may participate in an internal offset under this subsection only if the owner or operator has certified, and the department has confirmed, that such lines are in compliance with all applicable requirements of those chapters or LAER. NR 425.05(2)(d)4.4. Daily VOC emissions in excess of those allowed under ss.

An owner or operator may include in an application under this subsection coating or printing lines constructed or modified after March 1, 1990, on which the owner or operator intends to apply coatings or inks not meeting the applicable emission limitations in ss. NR 422.05 to 422.15, and may apply such coatings or inks under an internal offset approved under this subsection if he or she demonstrates to the department’s satisfaction that compliance with the applicable emission limitation on such coating or printing lines is technologically or economically infeasible. NR 425.05(3)(a)(a) Availability. An owner or operator of a source may request an extension to achieve compliance with the emission limitations of ss. NR 422.05 to 422.15 if the owner or operator demonstrates to the department’s satisfaction that it is technologically or economically infeasible for the source to achieve compliance with the applicable emission limitations as a result of the creation of this section which became effective on March 1, 1990. The department may grant a request and authorize the owner or operator, by order issued under s. 285.13 (2), Stats., to achieve compliance with the applicable emission limitation as expeditiously as practicable, but not later than March 1, 1993. NR 425.05(3)(b)(b) Extension criteria. Authorization under par. (a) may not be granted unless the owner or operator had submitted a compliance plan for use of an internal offset under s.
