NR 466.21 What this subchapter covers. NR 466.22 What definitions are used in this subchapter? NR 466.23 Emission standards and compliance dates. NR 466.24 General requirements for compliance with the emission standards and for monitoring and performance tests. NR 466.25 Requirements for showing compliance. NR 466.26 Notifications, reports and records. NR 466.01(1)(a)1.1. Each facility that is a major source of hazardous air pollutants at which publication rotogravure, product and packaging rotogravure, or wide-web flexographic printing presses are operated. NR 466.01(1)(a)2.2. Each facility at which publication rotogravure, product and packaging rotogravure, or wide-web flexographic printing presses are operated for which the owner or operator, for purposes of establishing the facility to be an area source with respect to this chapter, chooses to commit to, and meets the following criteria: NR 466.01(1)(a)2.a.a. Use less than 9.1 Mg (10 tons) per each rolling 12-month period of each HAP at the facility, including materials used for source categories or purposes other than printing and publishing. NR 466.01(1)(a)2.b.b. Use less than 22.7 Mg (25 tons) per each rolling 12-month period of any combination of HAPs at the facility, including materials used for source categories or purposes other than printing and publishing. NR 466.01(1)(c)(c) Each facility for which the owner or operator chooses to commit to and meets the criteria in par. (a) 2. may exclude, for the purpose of determining compliance with the usage restrictions in par. (a) 2., material used in routine janitorial or facility grounds maintenance, personal uses by employees or other persons, the use of products for the purpose of maintaining electric, propane, gasoline and diesel powered motor vehicles operated by the facility, and the use of HAP contained in intake water, used for processing or noncontact cooling, or intake air, used either as compressed air or for combustion. NR 466.01(1)(d)(d) Each facility for which the owner or operator chooses to commit to and meets the criteria in par. (a) 2. to become an area source, but subsequently exceeds either of the thresholds in par. (a) 2. for any rolling 12-month period, without first obtaining and complying with other limits that keep its potential to emit HAP below major source levels, shall be considered in violation of its commitment for that 12-month period and shall be considered a major source of HAP beginning the first month after the end of the 12-month period in which either of the HAP-use thresholds was exceeded. As a major source of HAP, each facility is subject to this chapter as provided under par. (a) 1. and is no longer eligible to use the provisions of par. (a) 2., even if in subsequent 12-month periods the facility uses less HAP than the thresholds in par. (a) 2. NR 466.01(1)(e)(e) An owner or operator of an affected source subject to par. (a) 2. who chooses to no longer be subject to par. (a) 2. shall notify the department of the change. If, by no longer being subject to par. (a) 2., the facility at which the affected source is located becomes a major source, the owner or operator shall continue to comply with the HAP usage provisions of par. (a) 2. until the source is in compliance with all relevant requirements for a new MACT source or an existing source under this chapter. NR 466.01(1)(f)(f) Nothing in this subsection is intended to preclude a facility from establishing area source status by limiting its potential to emit through other appropriate mechanisms. NR 466.01(1)(g)(g) This chapter does not apply to research or laboratory equipment. NR 466.01(2)(2) Purpose. This chapter is adopted under ss. 285.27 (2) and 285.65, Stats., to establish emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for the printing and publishing industry in order to protect air quality. NR 466.01 NoteNote: This chapter is based on the federal regulations contained in 40 CFR part 63 Subpart KK, created May 30, 1996. NR 466.01 HistoryHistory: Cr.
