NR 422.15(4)(4) Emission limitations — pretreatment coats. This subsection applies to miscellaneous metal parts and products coating lines which are located outside the counties of Door, Kenosha, Kewaunee, Manitowoc, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Walworth, Washington, and Waukesha. No owner or operator of a miscellaneous metal parts or products coating line may cause, allow or permit the emission of any VOCs in excess of 0.78 kilograms per liter (6.50 pounds per gallon) of coating, excluding water, delivered to a coating applicator that applies pretreatment coats. Coatings subject to this subsection may not participate in an internal offset under s. NR 425.05 or generate emission reduction credits in an emission reduction option.

NR 422.15(5)(5) Emission limitations and requirements — high performance architectural coatings. This subsection applies to miscellaneous metal parts and products coating lines which were involved in the application of high performance architectural coatings, prior to July 1, 1983, and are located outside the counties of Brown, Calumet, Dane, Dodge, Door, Fond du Lac, Jefferson, Kenosha, Kewaunee, Manitowoc, Milwaukee, Outagamie, Ozaukee, Racine, Rock, Sheboygan, Walworth, Washington, Waukesha, and Winnebago.

NR 422.15(5)(b)(b) The owner or operator of a miscellaneous metal parts and products coating line may demonstrate compliance with the emission limits of this subsection by demonstrating, on a daily basis, that the combined emission rate from all high performance architectural coatings is less than or equal to the allowable emission rate as determined by the equation in s. NR 425.05 (2) (b) 2.

NR 422.15(6)(6) Change in technology. Miscellaneous metal parts or products coating lines which, prior to January 1, 1980, used a baked or specially cured coating technology shall meet the emission limitations of sub. (2) notwithstanding the coating technology presently in use.

NR 422.15(9)(e)(e) Minimize emissions of VOC during cleaning of coating application, storage, mixing, and conveying equipment by ensuring that cleaning is performed without atomizing any VOC-containing cleaning material and that the used material is captured and contained.

NR 422.15(10)(a)(a) Compliance schedule. The owner or operator of a miscellaneous metal parts and products facility described under sub. (1) (am) and located in Kewaunee, Manitowoc, or Walworth county that commenced construction before June 1, 2022, shall comply with the applicable requirements of this section by November 28, 2022.

NR 422.15(10)(b)(b) Certification. No later than 60 days after the compliance deadline specified under par. (a), the owner or operator of a miscellaneous metal parts and products facility described in par. (a) shall submit to the department written certification that all affected miscellaneous metal parts and products coating operations are in compliance with the applicable requirements of this section. Any such facility that is required to have an operation permit under ch. NR 407 shall submit to the department a permit application or a permit revision or renewal application that meets the application requirements under s. NR 407.05 to meet this certification requirement, except that no application shall be required for a source operating under a general operation permit or a registration operation permit issued under s. NR 407.10 or 407.105.
