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). NR 439.07(8)(c)1.1. When compliance with a sulfur dioxide emission limitation is determined using Method 6 or 6A in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (13), the test shall consist of 3 repetitions. A repetition shall consist of 2 20-minute sampling periods with each sampling period followed by a 15-minute fresh air purge. The 2 samples shall be analyzed independently. The arithmetic mean of the results of the 2 samples shall be the result of that repetition. NR 439.07(8)(c)2.2. When compliance with a sulfur dioxide emission limitation is determined using Method 6B in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (13), the test shall consist of 3 24-hour repetitions with the sampling train operating continuously during each 24-hour repetition. NR 439.07(8)(c)3.3. When compliance with a sulfur dioxide emission limitation is determined using Method 6C in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (13), the test shall consist of 3 representative repetitions. NR 439.07(8)(d)1.1. When compliance with a nitrogen oxide emission limitation is determined using Method 7, 7A or 7B in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (13), the test shall consist of 3 repetitions. A repetition shall consist of 4 2-liter evacuated sample bottles that are filled, one at a time, with stack gas at 15 minute intervals. The 4 samples shall be analyzed independently. The arithmetic mean of the results of the 4 samples shall be the result of that repetition. NR 439.07(8)(d)2.2. When compliance with a nitrogen oxide emission limitation is determined using Method 7C, 7D, or 7E in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (13), the test shall consist of 3 representative repetitions. NR 439.07(8)(e)(e) Organic compound emissions.

NR 484.04 (13), the test shall consist of a minimum of 3 representative repetitions. NR 439.07(8)(f)(f) Visible emissions. When compliance with a visible emission limitation is determined using Method 9 in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A-4, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (13), the test shall be performed based on the either of the following time criteria, unless otherwise specified in any applicable regulation, permit or compliance order: NR 439.07(8)(f)1.1.
