NR 463.07NR 463.07 Monitoring to demonstrate continuous compliance. The owner or operator of an affected source subject to the emission limitations of this subchapter shall conduct monitoring according to the type of air pollution control technique that is used to comply with the emission limitation. The monitoring required to demonstrate continuous compliance with the emission limitations is identified in this section for the air pollution control techniques expected to be used by the owners or operators of affected sources.

NR 463.07(1)(a)(a) During the initial performance test, the owner or operator of an affected source, or a group of affected sources under common control, complying with the emission limitations in s. NR 463.04 through the use of a composite mesh-pad system shall determine the outlet chromium concentration using the test methods and procedures in s. NR 463.09 (3), and shall establish as a site-specific operating parameter the pressure drop across the system, setting the value that corresponds to compliance with the applicable emission limitation, using the procedures in s. NR 463.09 (4) (e). An owner or operator may conduct multiple performance tests to establish a range of compliant pressure drop values, or may set as the compliant value the average pressure drop measured over the 3 test runs of one performance test and accept ± 2 inches of water column from this value as the compliant range.

NR 463.07(1)(b)(b) On and after the date on which the initial performance test is required to be completed under s. NR 460.06, the owner or operator of an affected source, or group of affected sources under common control, shall monitor and record the pressure drop across the composite mesh-pad system once each day that any affected source is operating. To be in compliance with the standards in s. NR 463.04, the composite mesh-pad system shall be operated within ± 2 inches of water column of the pressure drop value established during the initial performance test, or shall be operated within the range of compliant values for pressure drop established during multiple performance tests.

NR 463.07(1)(c)(c) The owner or operator of an affected source complying with the emission limitation of s. NR 463.04 through the use of a composite mesh-pad system may repeat the performance test and establish as a new site-specific operating parameter the pressure drop across the composite mesh-pad system according to the requirements in par. (a) or (b). To establish a new site-specific operating parameter for pressure drop, the owner or operator shall satisfy all of the following requirements:

NR 463.07(1)(d)(d) The requirement to operate a composite mesh-pad system within the range of pressure drop values established under pars. (a) to (c) does not apply during the automatic-washdown cycles of the composite-mesh pad system.

NR 463.07(2)(a)(a) During the initial performance test, the owner or operator of an affected source, or group of affected sources under common control, complying with the emission limitations in s. NR 463.04 through the use of a packed-bed scrubber system shall determine the outlet chromium concentration using the procedures in s. NR 463.09 (3), and shall establish as site-specific operating parameters the pressure drop across the system and the velocity pressure at the common inlet of the control device, setting the value that corresponds to compliance with the applicable emission limitation using the procedures in s. NR 463.09 (4) (d) and (e). An owner or operator may conduct multiple performance tests to establish a range of compliant operating parameter values. Alternatively, the owner or operator may set as the compliant value the average pressure drop and inlet velocity pressure measured over the 3 test runs of one performance test, and accept ± 1 inch of water column from the pressure drop value and ± 10% from the velocity pressure value as the compliant range.

NR 463.07(2)(b)(b) On and after the date on which the initial performance test is required to be completed under s. NR 460.06, the owner or operator of an affected source, or group of affected sources under common control, shall monitor and record the velocity pressure at the inlet to the packed-bed scrubber and the pressure drop across the scrubber system once each day that any affected source is operating. To be in compliance with the standards in s. NR 463.04, the scrubber system shall be operated within ±10% of the velocity pressure value established during the initial performance test, and within ±1 inch of water column of the pressure drop value established during the initial performance test, or within the range of compliant operating parameter values established during multiple performance tests.

NR 463.07(3)(3) Packed-bed scrubber/composite mesh-pad system. The owner or operator of an affected source, or group of affected sources under common control, that uses a packed-bed scrubber in conjunction with a composite mesh-pad system to meet the emission limitations of s. NR 463.04 shall comply with the monitoring requirements for composite mesh-pad systems as identified in sub. (1).

NR 463.07(4)(a)(a) During the initial performance test, the owner or operator of an affected source, or group of affected sources under common control, complying with the emission limitations in s. NR 463.04 through the use of a fiber-bed mist eliminator shall determine the outlet chromium concentration using the procedures in s. NR 463.09 (3), and shall establish as a site-specific operating parameter the pressure drop across the fiber-bed mist eliminator and the pressure drop across the control device installed upstream of the fiber bed to prevent plugging, setting the value that corresponds to compliance with the applicable emission limitation using the procedures in s. NR 463.09 (4) (e). An owner or operator may conduct multiple performance tests to establish a range of compliant pressure drop values, or may set as the compliant value the average pressure drop measured over the 3 test runs of one performance test and accept ±1 inch of water column from this value as the compliant range.

NR 463.07(4)(b)(b) On and after the date on which the initial performance test is required to be completed under s. NR 460.06, the owner or operator of an affected source, or group of affected sources under common control, shall monitor and record the pressure drop across the fiber-bed mist eliminator, and the control device installed upstream of the fiber bed to prevent plugging, once each day that any affected source is operating. To be in compliance with the standards in s. NR 463.04, the fiber-bed mist eliminator and the upstream control device shall be operated within ±1 inch of water column of the pressure drop value established during the initial performance test, or shall be operated within the range of compliant values for pressure drop established during multiple performance tests.
