285.63(9)(b)(b) In this subsection, “recorded source” means a stationary source in the volatile organic compound accommodation area owned or operated by any person who owns or operates on May 17, 1988, a stationary source whose actual 1980 emissions of volatile organic compounds are recorded as zero in the 1982 plan approved by the U.S. environmental protection agency under 42 USC 7502 (a).
285.63(10)(10)Requirements for medical waste incinerators.
285.63(10)(a)(a) In this subsection, “medical waste incinerator” has the meaning given in s. 287.07 (7) (c) 1. cr.
285.63(10)(b)(b) In addition to the requirements under subs. (1) to (3), the department may approve an application submitted after May 14, 1992, for a permit required or allowed under s. 285.60 for the construction of a medical waste incinerator or for the modification of a medical waste incinerator that expands the capacity of the medical waste incinerator only if it finds that the new or modified medical waste incinerator will be needed and that the site of the medical waste incinerator is appropriate.
285.63(10)(c)(c) The department shall consider all of the following in evaluating the need for the proposed medical waste incinerator:
285.63(10)(c)1.1. An approximate service area for the proposed medical waste incinerator that encompasses all sources of waste that could potentially be burned in the medical waste incinerator. The department shall delineate the service area based on the economics of waste collection, transportation and treatment.
285.63(10)(c)2.2. The quantity of waste that could potentially be burned in the proposed medical waste incinerator and that is generated within the anticipated service area.
285.63(10)(c)3.3. The remaining capacity or design capacity of other solid waste facilities, if those facilities are located within the anticipated service area of the proposed medical waste incinerator and are currently providing or are expected to provide solid waste management for any sources of solid waste that could potentially be burned in the medical waste incinerator.
285.63(10)(c)4.4. The quantity of waste having the potential to be burned in the medical waste incinerator that may be managed in an effective recycling program created under s. 287.11.
285.63(10)(c)5.5. The potential for reducing the quantity of waste having the potential to be burned in the medical waste incinerator by reducing the amount of waste that is generated within the anticipated service area and the potential for using alternative technologies for disposing of the waste.
285.63(10)(d)(d) The department may not determine that the site of a proposed medical waste incinerator is appropriate if the medical waste incinerator or the transportation of solid waste to the medical waste incinerator will have an adverse effect that is both substantial and unreasonable on any of the following:
285.63(10)(d)1.1. Existing recreational land uses.
285.63(10)(d)2.2. Land or surface water that has any of the characteristics under s. 23.27 (2).
285.63(10)(d)3.3. Scenic vistas of statewide significance.
285.63(10)(d)4.4. Residential property.
285.63(10)(d)5.5. Schools, churches, hospitals, nursing homes, or child care facilities.
285.63(10)(d)6.6. Projected land uses identified in any municipal master plan or official map that is in effect at least 15 months prior to the submission to the department of the permit application, if the land uses are expected to occur during the site life of the medical waste incinerator and any expansions of the medical waste incinerator.
285.63(10)(e)(e) The department shall promulgate rules for making the findings under par. (b).
285.63(11)(11)Modeling. The department is not required to use air dispersion modeling as a basis for making its findings under sub. (1) for a minor source unless modeling is specifically provided for under the federal clean air act, rules promulgated under this chapter, or a federal or state agreement.

285.64285.64Criteria for operation permits for stationary sources.
285.64(1)(1)Issuance to sources not in compliance; federal objection.
285.64(1)(a)(a) Notwithstanding s. 285.63, the department may issue an operation permit for a stationary source that does not comply with the requirements in the operation permit, in the federal clean air act, in an implementation plan under s. 285.11 (6) or in s. 285.63 when the operation permit is issued if the operation permit includes all of the following:
285.64(1)(a)1.1. A compliance schedule that sets forth a series of remedial measures that the owner or operator of the stationary source must take to comply with the requirements with which the stationary source is in violation when the operation permit is issued.
285.64(1)(a)2.2. A requirement that, at least once every 6 months, the owner or operator of the stationary source submit reports to the department concerning the progress in meeting the compliance schedule and the requirements with which the stationary source is in violation when the operation permit is issued.
285.64(1)(b)(b) Notwithstanding par. (a) and s. 285.63, the department may not issue an operation permit to a stationary source if the federal environmental protection agency objects to the issuance of the operation permit as provided in s. 285.62 (6) unless the department revises the operation permit to meet the objection.
285.64(2)(2)One-year moratorium on revocation.
285.64(2)(a)(a) The department may not revoke an operation permit for an existing source for one year after the issuance of that permit based upon failure of the existing source at the time of permit issuance to comply with this chapter and s. 299.15 and rules promulgated under this chapter and s. 299.15.
285.64(2)(b)(b) Notwithstanding par. (a), the department may take any other action necessary to enforce an operation permit and this chapter and s. 299.15 and rules promulgated under this chapter and s. 299.15 which apply to the existing source after issuance of an operation permit under this section.
