NR 419.045(2)(f)(f) Treatment processes. For each treatment process managing an affected VOC wastewater stream or an affected residual, the owner or operator shall comply with the requirements as specified in this paragraph. Once an affected VOC wastewater stream or an affected residual has been treated in accordance with the requirements of this paragraph, the affected VOC wastewater stream or the affected residual is no longer subject to the requirements of this subsection.

NR 419.045(2)(f)1.1. Each component of the treatment process shall meet the applicable requirements of pars. (a) to (e).

NR 419.045(2)(f)2.2. Gases vented from a treatment process shall be routed by means of a closed vent system to a control device which is designed and operated to reduce the VOC vented to it by at least 90% by weight. Vents from anaerobic biological treatment processes may be routed through hard-piping to a fuel gas system.

NR 419.045(2)(f)3.3. For each of the affected VOC wastewater streams that are treated in a nonbiological treatment process, or a combination of nonbiological treatment processes, the owner or operator shall, by removal or destruction, reduce the mass flow rate of affected VOC by 90% or more while reducing the affected VOC concentration to less than 1,000 parts per million by weight. Dilution may not be used to achieve compliance with this subdivision. This requirement does not apply to affected wastewater or affected residuals that comply with the requirements for Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) (42 USC 6921 to 6939e) treatment options specified in subd. 6.

NR 419.045(2)(f)4.4. The owner or operator using a closed biological treatment process for at least one affected VOC wastewater stream shall reduce the mass flow rate for all affected VOC from all wastewater streams entering the biological treatment process by at least 90%.

NR 419.045(2)(f)5.5. The owner or operator shall operate and maintain a steam stripper that meets all of the following requirements:

NR 419.045(2)(f)6.6. The owner or operator may elect to treat the affected VOC wastewater stream or affected residual in a unit identified in, and complying with any of the following RCRA treatment options:

NR 419.045(2)(f)6.a.a. The affected VOC wastewater stream or affected residual is discharged to a hazardous waste incinerator for which the owner or operator has been issued a final permit under 40 CFR part 270 and complies with the requirements of 40 CFR part 264, subpart O, or has certified compliance with the interim status requirements of 40 CFR part 265, subpart O.

NR 419.045(2)(f)6.b.b. The affected VOC wastewater stream or affected residual is discharged to a process heater or boiler burning hazardous waste for which the owner or operator has either been issued a final permit under 40 CFR part 270 and complies with the requirements of 40 CFR part 266, subpart H, or has certified compliance with the interim status requirements of 40 CFR part 266, subpart H.

NR 419.045(2)(f)6.c.c. The affected VOC wastewater stream or affected residual is discharged to an underground injection well for which the owner or operator has been issued a final permit under 40 CFR part 270 or 40 CFR part 144 and complies with the requirements of 40 CFR part 122. The owner or operator shall comply with all applicable requirements of this subsection prior to the point where the wastewater enters the underground portion of the injection well.

NR 419.045(2)(f)7.7. For each affected residual, the owner or operator shall control for air emissions by complying with pars. (a) to (e) and one of the following requirements:

NR 419.045(2)(f)7.a.a. Recycle the affected residual to a production process on-site or transfer the affected residual off-site for the purpose of recycling. Once an affected residual is returned to a production process, the affected residual is no longer subject to this subsection.

NR 419.045(3)(3) Alternative methods of control. The following alternate methods of demonstrating and documenting continuous compliance with the applicable control requirements or exemption criteria in this section may be utilized if approved by the department with written concurrence from EPA:

NR 419.045(3)(a)(a) As an alternative to the control requirements of sub. (2), the owner or operator of waste management units may elect to ensure that the overall control of VOC emissions at the facility from wastewater from affected industrial categories is at least 90% less than the 2011 calendar year baseline emissions for VOC emissions to the ambient air from process wastewater, provided that adequate documentation is submitted to the department which supports the accuracy of the calendar year baseline emissions and the following requirements are met:

NR 419.045(3)(a)1.1. The owner or operator of a waste management unit shall submit a control plan to the department which demonstrates that the overall control of VOC emissions at the facility from wastewater from affected industrial categories will be at least 90% less than the calendar year baseline emissions. Any control plan submitted shall be approved by the department in writing before the owner or operator may use the control option available under this paragraph for compliance. At a minimum, the control plan shall include the applicable emissions units’ identification; the facility identification number; the calendar year baseline emission rates of VOC from wastewater from affected industrial categories consistent with the calendar year baseline emissions; a plot plan showing the location, the emissions units’ identification, and facility identification number associated with a waste management unit; the VOC emission rates for each emissions unit for the preceding calendar year; and an explanation of the recordkeeping procedure and calculations which will be used to demonstrate compliance. The VOC emission rates shall be calculated in a manner consistent with the calendar year baseline emissions.

NR 419.045(3)(a)2.2. The owner or operator shall submit an annual report no later than March 31 of each calendar year to the department which demonstrates that the overall control of VOC emissions from wastewater from affected industrial categories during the preceding calendar year is at least 90% less than the baseline emissions. At a minimum, the report shall include the facility identification number; the emissions units’ identification; the throughput of wastewater from affected industrial categories; a plot plan showing the location; the emissions units’ identification; and the facility identification number associated with waste management units; and the VOC emission rates for the preceding calendar year. The emission rates for the preceding calendar year shall be calculated in a manner consistent with the calendar year baseline emissions.

NR 419.045(3)(a)3.3. All control plans and reports shall include documentation that the overall reduction of VOC emissions from wastewater from affected industrial categories continues to be at least 90% less than the calendar year baseline emissions. The emission rates shall be calculated in a manner consistent with the calendar year baseline emissions.

NR 419.045(3)(b)(b) The owner or operator of an affected industrial category which is subject to and complies with the provisions of 40 CFR part 63, subpart G, subpart JJJ, or subpart FFFF, or any other emission standard promulgated under 40 CFR part 63 that references the wastewater control requirements set forth in 40 CFR part 63, subpart G, shall be deemed to be in compliance with this section, provided that all of the following are met:

NR 419.045(3)(b)1.1. The term “affected VOC” is substituted each place that 40 CFR part 63, subpart G, subpart JJJ, and subpart FFFF, and any other 40 CFR part 63 emission standard references the term “organic hazardous air pollutant” or “organic HAP”.
