The owner or operator of a source required to conduct emission testing under s. NR 439.075 shall comply with all applicable methods and procedures listed in this section. NR 439.07(1)(1) General. All emission tests conducted for the purpose of determining compliance with an emission limitation under chs. NR 400 to 499 shall be performed according to the test methods established in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, 40 CFR part 61, Appendix B, and 40 CFR part 63, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (13), (23), and (25), or according to other test methods approved in writing by the department. The owner, operator or contractor responsible for emission testing shall follow the procedures in this section. Unless the department requires or approves the performance of a test at less than capacity, all compliance emission tests shall be performed with the equipment operating at capacity or as close to capacity as practicable. NR 439.07(2)(2) Emission test notification and test plan submittal. The department shall be notified in writing at least 20 business days in advance of a compliance emission test, including initial certification tests and relative accuracy tests performed under s. NR 439.09, to provide the department an opportunity to have a representative present to witness the testing procedures. The notice shall provide a test plan which includes, but need not be limited to, the following: NR 439.07(2)(a)(a) A description of the sampling equipment and the test methods and procedures to be used. NR 439.07(2)(c)(c) A description of the process or operation variables which affect the air contaminant source’s emissions.

The department may require that a department representative be present at any compliance emission test. The department representative has the following authority: NR 439.07(6)(a)(a) The department representative shall, during the test, supply the tester with the appropriate audit samples required in the reference method for quality assurance purposes. NR 439.07(6)(b)(b) The department representative may require the tester to provide the department a copy of all test data and equipment calibration data prepared or collected for the test. NR 439.07(6)(c)(c) The department representative may take any or all of the test samples collected during the test for analysis by the department. NR 439.07(6)(d)(d) The department witness may require the source owner or operator and tester to correct any deficiency in the performance of the test provided that the department witness notifies the source owner or operator and tester of the deficiency as soon as it is discovered. The failure of a source owner or operator and tester to correct any deficiency may result in the department refusing to accept the testing results. NR 439.07(7)(7) Emission testing equipment calibration requirements. The following components of any emission sampling train or associated sampling equipment shall be calibrated not more than 60 days before the test: NR 439.07(7)(g)(g) Any other sampling equipment that requires periodic calibration. NR 439.07(8)(8) Procedures for conducting compliance emission tests. In conducting any compliance emission test the following procedures apply: NR 439.07(8)(a)(a) General provisions. Except as provided for in par. (c), (d), (f) or (g), an emission test shall consist of a minimum of 3 representative repetitions, as determined by the department, of the applicable test method with a minimum sampling time of one hour per repetition. Shorter sampling times as referenced in par. (g) may be used with the written approval of the department. The arithmetic mean of the results of all repetitions shall be used to determine compliance with an emission limitation. In addition, the following requirements apply: NR 439.07(8)(a)1.1. The gas flow rate, in dry standard cubic feet per minute, shall be determined during each repetition of an emission test using Method 1, 1A, 2, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, 2F, 2G, 2H, 3, 3A, 3B, and 4 in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (13), as applicable. NR 439.07(8)(a)2.2. A record shall be maintained of all persons who have handled the test samples. NR 439.07(8)(b)(b) Particulate matter. When compliance with a particulate emission limitation is determined using Method 5, 5A, 5B, 5D, 5E, 5F, 5G, 5H, 5I, or 17 in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (13), the test shall consist of 3 representative repetitions. In addition, the following provisions apply: NR 439.07(8)(b)1.1. Sootblowing shall be performed during one repetition of each test for particulate emissions on any boiler that routinely employs sootblowing, unless the boiler uses a continuous sootblowing system. If a continuous sootblowing system is operating during the test, compliance with the emission limitation shall be determined by the arithmetic mean of the results of all repetitions. If a continuous sootblowing system is not operating during the test, the representative average pounds of particulate emissions per million Btu heat input shall be determined by the following equation: E = Es ((A + B) S/AR) + Ens((R - S)/R - (BS/AR))
where:
E is the weighted average pounds of particulate matter per million Btu heat input
Es is the pounds of particulate matter per million Btu heat input for test runs during sootblowing
Ens is the arithmetic average pounds of particulate matter per million Btu heat input for test runs with no sootblowing
A is the hours of sootblowing during test runs containing sootblowing
B is the hours with no sootblowing during test runs containing sootblowing
R is the average hours of boiler operation per 24 hours
S is the average hours of sootblowing per 24 hours
NR 439.07(8)(b)2.2. Each repetition for a particulate emission test shall have a sample volume of at least 30 dry standard cubic feet. NR 439.07(8)(b)4.4. Heat input shall be equal to the fuel use rate multiplied by the heat content of the fuel on an as-fired basis. Fuels shall be analyzed for heat content using the procedures in Method 19 in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (13). NR 439.07(8)(b)5.5. Any boiler emission rate in pounds per million Btu heat input shall be determined using the heat input based on fuel use rate. The emission rate may be determined using the F-Factor calculation shown in Method 19 in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (13), with written approval from the department. If the F-Factor method is used, an ultimate fuel analysis shall be performed. An integrated gas sample, using Method 3, 3A or 3B in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (13), shall be collected and analyzed for oxygen and carbon dioxide content. Other methods for determining the boiler heat input may be used only if approved, in writing, by the department. NR 439.07(8)(b)6.6. If cyclonic flow is a possibility at a particulate emission test location, a test for the presence of cyclonic flow shall be performed before the particulate test using the procedures in Method 1 in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (13). If cyclonic flow is present, the flow must be straightened before testing can begin unless the source owner or operator demonstrates, to the department’s satisfaction, the acceptability of the location using the alternate procedure to Method 1. If cyclonic flow is not present, testing can proceed. NR 439.07(8)(b)7.7. Except for sources subject to emission testing requirements in ch. NR 440, the department may require the owner or operator of a source capable of emitting condensible particulate matter, to include an analysis of the back half of the stack sampling train catch in the total particulate catch for any emission test using Method 5, 5A, 5B, 5D, 5E, 5F, 5G, 5H, 5I, or 17, in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (13). This procedure and analysis shall be performed using Method 202 in 40 CFR part 51, Appendix M, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (9).
