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 422.143(3)(a)2. 2. If a combined dryer and control device is a part of the press design, a 100% capture at the control inlet may be assumed for purposes of meeting the emission reduction limits in subd. 1.

NR 422.143(3)(b)1. 1. ‘Heatset web presses.’ On and after May 1, 2010, any person who owns or operates a heatset web lithographic printing press shall use a fountain solution which has a VOC content, as applied, of no more than one of the following:

NR 422.143(3)(b)1.a. a. 1.6% by weight if the fountain solution contains any restricted alcohol and is not refrigerated to 60°F or less.

NR 422.143(3)(b)1.b. b. 3.0% by weight if the fountain solution contains any restricted alcohol and is refrigerated to 60°F or less.

NR 422.143(3)(b)1.c. c. 5.0% by weight if the fountain solution contains no restricted alcohol.

NR 422.143(3)(b)2. 2. ‘Non-heatset web presses.’ On and after May 1, 2010, any person who owns or operates a non-heatset web lithographic printing press shall use a fountain solution which contains no restricted alcohol and which has a VOC content, as applied, of no more than 5.0% by weight.

NR 422.143(3)(b)3. 3. ‘Sheet-fed presses.’ On and after May 1, 2010, any person who owns or operates a sheet-fed lithographic printing press shall, use a fountain solution which has a VOC content, as applied, of no more than one of the following:

NR 422.143(3)(b)3.a. a. 5.0% by weight.

NR 422.143(3)(b)3.b. b. 8.5% by weight if the fountain solution is refrigerated to 60°F or less.

NR 422.143(3)(c) (c) Cleaning solutions. Except as provided in sub. (2) (a), no owner or operator of a lithographic printing press may cause, allow, or permit the use of a cleaning solution unless the cleaning solution has a VOC content less than 70% by weight or has a composite partial vapor pressure of less than or equal to 10 mm of Hg at 68°F.

NR 422.143(4) (4) Work practices.

NR 422.143(4)(a) (a) On and after November 1, 2009, the owner or operator of a lithographic press subject to this subsection shall store all solvents, solvent solutions and any applicator moistened with solvents or solvent solutions that are used in cleaning operations related to lithographic printing in covered non-absorbent, non-leaking containers, except when filling or emptying the container.

NR 422.143(5) (5) Monitoring requirements.

NR 422.143(5)(a) (a) The owner or operator of any lithographic printing press shall monitor, at least once each 8-hour shift, the temperature of each fountain solution reservoir for any fountain solution subject to sub. (3) (b) 1. b. or 3. b.

NR 422.143(5)(b) (b) The owner or operator of any lithographic printing press subject to the VOC control device requirements of sub. (3) (a) shall comply with all of the following monitoring requirements:

NR 422.143(5)(b)1. 1. Install and operate continuous temperature monitoring and recording equipment that measures and records any of the following temperature of the control device at least once every 15 minutes:

NR 422.143(5)(b)1.a. a. The combustion chamber or minimum operating temperature for thermal oxidizers.

NR 422.143(5)(b)1.b. b. The catalytic bed inlet temperature for catalytic oxidizers.

NR 422.143(5)(b)2. 2. Meet the instrument requirements in s. NR 439.055 (3) (a) and (4) for the temperature monitoring devices.

NR 422.143(5)(b)3. 3. Maintain the 3-hour average temperature at or above any of the following levels when the associated printing press is in operation:
