NR 460.09(2)(c)(c) Recordkeeping requirements for applicability determinations. If an owner or operator determines that his or her stationary source that emits, or has the potential to emit, without considering controls, one or more hazardous air pollutants regulated by any standard established pursuant to section 112 (d) or (f) of the Act (42 USC 7412 (d) or (f)), and that stationary source is in the source category regulated by the relevant standard, but that source is not subject to the relevant standard or other requirement established under 40 CFR part 63 or chs. NR 460 to 469, because of limitations on the source’s potential to emit or an exclusion, the owner or operator shall keep a record of the applicability determination on site at the source for a period of 5 years after the determination, or until the source changes its operations to become an affected source, whichever comes first. The record of the applicability determination shall be signed by the person making the determination and include an analysis or other information that demonstrates why the owner or operator believes the source is not an affected source. The analysis or other information shall be sufficiently detailed to allow the department to make a finding about the source’s applicability status with regard to the relevant standard or other requirement. If relevant, the analysis shall be performed in accordance with requirements established in relevant subparts of 40 CFR part 63 for this purpose for particular categories of stationary sources. If relevant, the analysis should be performed in accordance with EPA guidance materials published to assist sources in making applicability determinations under section 112 of the Act (42 USC 7412), if any. The requirements to determine applicability of a standard under 40 CFR 63.1 (b) (3) and to record the results of that determination under this paragraph do not by themselves create an obligation for the owner or operator to obtain a title V permit.

NR 460.09(3)(a)1.1. All required continuous monitoring system measurements, including monitoring data recorded during unavoidable continuous monitoring system breakdowns and out-of-control periods.

NR 460.09(3)(a)2.2. The date and time identifying each period during which the continuous monitoring system was inoperative except for zero (low-level) and high-level checks.

NR 460.09(3)(a)3.3. The date and time identifying each period during which the continuous monitoring system was out of control, as defined in s. NR 460.07 (3) (g).

NR 460.09(3)(a)4.4. The specific identification, including date and times, of each period of excess emissions and parameter monitoring exceedances, as defined in the relevant standards, that occurs during startups, shutdowns and malfunctions of the affected source.

NR 460.09(3)(a)5.5. The specific identification, including the date and times, of each period of excess emissions and parameter monitoring exceedances, as defined in the relevant standards, that occurs during periods other than startups, shutdowns and malfunctions of the affected source.

NR 460.09(3)(a)6.6. The nature and cause of any malfunction, if known.

NR 460.09(3)(a)7.7. The corrective action taken or preventive measures adopted.

NR 460.09(3)(a)8.8. The nature of the repairs or adjustments to the continuous monitoring system that was inoperative or out of control.

NR 460.09(3)(a)9.9. The total process operating time during the reporting period.

NR 460.09(3)(a)10.10. All procedures that are part of a quality control program developed and implemented for the continuous monitoring system under s. NR 460.07 (4).

NR 460.09(4)(b)(b) Reporting results of performance tests. The owner or operator of an affected source shall report the results of any performance test under s. NR 460.06 to the department. The owner or operator of an affected source shall report the results of the performance test to the department before the close of business on the 60th day following the completion of the performance test, unless specified otherwise in a relevant standard or as approved otherwise in writing by the department. The results of the performance test shall be submitted as part of the notification of compliance status required under s. NR 460.08 (8).

NR 460.09(4)(c)(c) Reporting results of opacity or visible emission observations. The owner or operator of an affected source required to conduct opacity or visible emission observations by a relevant standard shall report the opacity or visible emission results, produced using Method 9 or Method 22 in Appendix A of 40 CFR part 60, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (13), or an alternative to these test methods, along with the results of the performance test required under s. NR 460.06. If no performance test is required, or if visibility or other conditions prevent the opacity or visible emission observations from being conducted concurrently with the performance test required under s. NR 460.06, the owner or operator shall report the opacity or visible emission results before the close of business on the 30th day following the completion of the opacity or visible emission observations.

NR 460.09(4)(e)1.1. ‘Periodic reports.’ If actions taken by an owner or operator during a startup or shutdown of an affected source, and the startup or shutdown causes the source to exceed any applicable emission limit in the relevant emission standards, or during a malfunction of an affected source, including actions taken to correct a malfunction, are consistent with the procedures specified in the source’s startup, shutdown and malfunction plan as required in s. NR 460.05 (4) (c), the owner or operator shall state the information in a startup, shutdown and malfunction report. Actions taken to minimize emissions during startups, shutdowns and malfunctions shall be summarized in the report and may be done in checklist form. If actions taken are the same for each event, only one checklist is necessary. The report shall also include the number, duration and a brief description for each type of malfunction which occurred during the reporting period and which caused or may have caused any applicable emission limitation to be exceeded. Reports shall only be required if a startup or shutdown caused the source to exceed any applicable emission limitation in the relevant emission standards or if a malfunction occurred during the reporting period. The startup, shutdown and malfunction report shall consist of a letter, containing the name, title and signature of the owner or operator or other responsible official who is certifying its accuracy, that shall be submitted to the department semiannually, or on a more frequent basis if specified otherwise in a relevant standard or as established otherwise in the source’s part 70 permit. The startup, shutdown and malfunction report shall be delivered or postmarked by the 30th day following the end of each calendar half, or other calendar reporting period, as appropriate. If the owner or operator is required to submit excess emissions and continuous monitoring system performance, or other periodic, reports under 40 CFR part 63 or chs. NR 460 to 469, the startup, shutdown and malfunction reports required under this subsection may be submitted simultaneously with the excess emissions and continuous monitoring system performance or other reports. If startup, shutdown and malfunction reports are submitted with excess emissions and continuous monitoring system performance or other periodic reports, and the owner or operator receives approval to reduce the frequency of reporting for the latter under sub. (5), the frequency of reporting for the startup, shutdown and malfunction reports also may be reduced if the department does not object to the intended change. The procedures to implement the allowance in the preceding sentence shall be the same as the procedures specified in sub. (5) (c).

NR 460.09(4)(e)2.2. ‘Immediate reports.’ Notwithstanding the allowance to reduce the frequency of reporting for periodic startup, shutdown and malfunction reports under subd. 1., any time an action taken by an owner or operator during a startup or shutdown that caused the source to exceed any applicable emission limitation in the relevant emission standards or during a malfunction, including actions taken to correct a malfunction, is not consistent with the procedures specified in the affected source’s startup, shutdown and malfunction plan, the owner or operator shall report the actions taken for that event within 2 working days after commencing actions inconsistent with the plan followed by a letter within 7 working days after the end of the event. The immediate report required under this subdivision shall consist of a telephone call or facsimile (FAX) transmission to the department within 2 working days after commencing actions inconsistent with the plan, and it shall be followed by a letter, delivered or postmarked within 7 working days after the end of the event, that contains the name, title and signature of the owner or operator or other responsible official who is certifying its accuracy, explaining the circumstances of the event, the reasons for not following the startup, shutdown and malfunction plan, describing all excess emissions or parameter monitoring exceedances or both which are believed to have occurred, or could have occurred in the case of malfunctions, and actions taken to minimize emissions in conformance with s. NR 460.05 (4) (a) 1.
