NR 440.01(2)(2) Purpose. This chapter is adopted to enable the department to implement and enforce standards of performance for new stationary sources promulgated by the United States environmental protection agency under section 111 of the federal clean air act, (42 USC 7411) as required by s. 285.27 (1), Stats. NR 440.01 NoteNote: This chapter is based on the federal regulations contained in 40 CFR part 60. Sections of this chapter correspond to the subparts of 40 CFR part 60 as indicated in the following table: NR 440.01 HistoryHistory: Cr. Register, January, 1984, No. 337, eff. 2-1-84; CR 06-109: cr. (2) (note) Register May 2008 No. 629, eff. 6-1-08. NR 440.02NR 440.02 Definitions. The definitions contained in s. NR 400.02 apply to the terms used in this chapter. In addition, the following definitions apply to the terms used in this chapter: NR 440.02(3)(3) “Affected facility” means, with reference to a stationary source, any apparatus to which a standard set out in this chapter is applicable. NR 440.02(5)(5) “Alternative method” means any method of sampling and analyzing for an air pollutant which is not a reference or equivalent method but which has been demonstrated to the administrator’s satisfaction to produce, in specific cases, results adequate for his or her determination of compliance. NR 440.02(5m)(5m) “Calendar year” means 365 consecutive days, or 366 consecutive days for leap years, starting on January 1 and ending on December 31. NR 440.02(6)(6) “Capital expenditure” means an expenditure for a physical or operational change to an existing facility which exceeds the product of the applicable “annual asset guideline repair allowance percentage” specified in the latest edition of internal revenue service (IRS) publication 534 and the existing facility’s basis, as defined by 26 USC 1012. However, the total expenditure for a physical or operational change to an existing facility may not be reduced by any“excluded additions” as defined in IRS publication 534, as would be done for tax purposes. NR 440.02(6m)(6m) “Clean coal technology demonstration project” means a project using funds appropriated under the heading ‘Department of Energy Clean Coal Technology’, up to a total amount of $2,500,000,000 for commercial demonstrations of clean coal technology, or similar projects funded through appropriations for the U.S. environmental protection agency. NR 440.02(7)(7) “Commenced” means, with respect to the definition of “new source” in sub. (18), that an owner or operator has undertaken a continuous program of construction or modification or that an owner or operator has entered into a contractual obligation to undertake and complete, within a reasonable time, a continuous program of construction or modification. NR 440.02(8)(8) “Construction” means fabrication, erection or installation of an affected facility. NR 440.02(9)(9) “Continuous monitoring system” means the total equipment, required under the emission monitoring subsections in applicable sections of this chapter, used to sample and condition (if applicable), to analyze, and to provide a permanent record of emissions or process parameters. NR 440.02(10)(10) “Electric utility steam generating unit” means any steam electric generating unit that is constructed for the purpose of supplying more than one third of its potential electric output capacity and more than 25 MW electrical output to any utility power distribution system for sale. Any steam supplied to a steam distribution system for the purpose of providing steam to a steam electric generator that would produce electrical energy for sale is also considered in determining the electrical energy output capacity of the affected facility. NR 440.02(11)(11) “Equivalent method” means any method of sampling and analyzing for an air pollutant which has been demonstrated to the administrator’s satisfaction to have a consistent and quantitatively known relationship to the reference method, under specified conditions. NR 440.02(12)(12) “Excess emissions and monitoring system performance report” means a report that must be submitted periodically by a source in order to provide data on its compliance with stated emission limits and operating parameters, and on the performance of its monitoring systems. NR 440.02(13)(13) “Existing facility” means, with reference to a stationary source, any apparatus of the type for which a standard is promulgated in this chapter, and the construction or modification of which was commenced before the applicability date of that standard; or any apparatus which could be altered in such a way as to be of that type. NR 440.02(14)(14) “Isokinetic sampling” means sampling in which the linear velocity of the gas entering the sampling nozzle is equal to that of the undisturbed gas stream at the sample point. NR 440.02(15)(15) “Malfunction” means any sudden, infrequent and not reasonably preventable failure of air pollution control equipment, process equipment or a process to operate in a normal or usual manner. Failures that are caused in part by poor maintenance or careless operation are not malfunctions. NR 440.02(15m)(15m) “Method X,” where “X” is a number or a number followed by a letter, means the specified method contained in Appendix A of 40 CFR part 60, incorporated by reference in s. NR 440.17. NR 440.02(16)(16) “Modification” means any physical change in, or change in the method of operation of, an existing facility which increases the amount of any air pollutant (to which a standard applies) emitted into the atmosphere by that facility or which results in the emission of any air pollutant (to which a standard applies) into the atmosphere not previously emitted. NR 440.02(17)(17) “Monitoring device” means the total equipment, required under the monitoring of operations subsections in applicable sections of this chapter, used to measure and, if applicable, record process parameters. NR 440.02(18)(18) “New source” means any stationary source, the construction or modification of which is commenced after the applicability date of a standard of performance in this chapter which will be applicable to the source. NR 440.02(19)(19) “Nitrogen oxides” means all oxides of nitrogen except nitrous oxide, as measured by test methods set forth in this chapter or incorporated by reference in this chapter by s. NR 440.17. NR 440.02(20)(20) “One-hour period” means any 60-minute period commencing on the hour. NR 440.02(22)(22) “Owner or operator” means any person who owns, leases, operates, controls or supervises an affected facility or a stationary source of which an affected facility is a part. NR 440.02(23)(23) “Particulate matter” means any finely divided solid or liquid material, other than uncombined water, as measured by the reference methods specified under each applicable section of this chapter, or an equivalent or alternative method. NR 440.02(25)(25) “Proportional sampling” means sampling at a rate that produces a constant ratio of sampling rate to stack gas flow rate.
