NR 440.215(9)(a)(a) The standards under this section apply at all times except during periods of startup, shutdown or malfunction, provided that the duration of the period of startup, shutdown or malfunction does not exceed 3 hours per occurrence. NR 440.215(9)(a)1.1. The startup period commences when the affected facility begins the continuous burning of MSW and does not include any warm up period when the affected facility is combusting only a fossil fuel or other non-MSW fuel and no MSW is being combusted. NR 440.215(9)(a)2.2. Continuous burning is the continuous, semicontinuous or batch feeding of MSW for purposes of waste disposal, energy production or providing heat to the combustion system in preparation for waste disposal or energy production. The use of MSW solely to provide thermal protection of grate or hearth during the startup period is not considered to be continuous burning. NR 440.215(9)(b)(b) The procedures and test methods in this paragraph shall be used to determine compliance with the emission limits for particulate matter under sub. (3). The cited procedures and test methods are contained in Appendix A of 40 CFR part 60, incorporated by reference in s. NR 440.17. NR 440.215(9)(b)1.1. Method 1 shall be used to select sampling site and number of traverse points. NR 440.215(9)(b)3.3. Method 5 shall be used for determining compliance with the particulate matter emission limit. The minimum sample volume shall be 1.7 cubic meters (60 cubic feet). The probe and filter holder heating systems in the sample train shall be set to provide a gas temperature of 160° ± 14°C (320° ± 25°F). An oxygen or carbon dioxide measurement shall be obtained simultaneously with each Method 5 run. NR 440.215(9)(b)5.5. An owner or operator may request that compliance be determined using carbon dioxide measurements corrected to an equivalent of 7% oxygen. The relationship between oxygen and carbon dioxide levels for the affected facility shall be established during the initial compliance test. NR 440.215(9)(b)6.6. The owner or operator of an affected facility shall conduct an initial compliance test for particulate matter and opacity as required under s. NR 440.08. NR 440.215(9)(b)7.7. Method 9 shall be used for determining compliance with the opacity limit. NR 440.215(9)(b)8.8. The owner or operator of an affected facility shall install, calibrate, maintain and operate a continuous opacity monitoring system (COMS) and record the output of the system on a 6-minute average basis. NR 440.215(9)(b)9.9. Following the date the initial compliance test for particulate matter is completed or is required to be completed under s. NR 440.08 for an affected facility located within a large MWC plant, the owner or operator shall conduct a performance test for particulate matter on an annual basis (no more than 12 calendar months following the previous compliance test). NR 440.215(9)(d)(d) The procedures and test methods in this paragraph shall be used to determine compliance with the limits for dioxin/furan emissions under sub. (4). The cited procedures and test methods are contained in Appendix A of 40 CFR part 60, incorporated by reference in s. NR 440.17. NR 440.215(9)(d)1.1. Method 23 shall be used for determining compliance with the dioxin/furan emission limits. The minimum sample time shall be 4 hours per test run. NR 440.215(9)(d)2.2. The owner or operator of an affected facility shall conduct an initial compliance test for dioxin/furan emissions as required under s. NR 440.08. NR 440.215(9)(d)3.3. Following the date of the initial compliance test or the date on which the initial compliance test is required to be completed under s. NR 440.08, the owner or operator of an affected facility located within a large MWC plant shall conduct a performance test for dioxin/furan emissions on an annual basis (no more than 12 calendar months following the previous compliance test). NR 440.215(9)(d)5.5. An owner or operator may request that compliance with the dioxin/furan emissions limit be determined using carbon dioxide measurements corrected to an equivalent of 7% oxygen. The relationship between oxygen and carbon dioxide levels for the affected facility shall be established during the initial compliance test. NR 440.215(9)(e)(e) The procedures and test methods in this paragraph shall be used for determining compliance with the sulfur dioxide limit under sub. (5). The cited procedures and test methods are contained in Appendix A of 40 CFR part 60, incorporated by reference in s. NR 440.17. NR 440.215(9)(e)1.1. Method 19, section 5.4, shall be used to determine the daily geometric average percent reduction in the potential sulfur dioxide emission rate. NR 440.215(9)(e)2.2. Method 19, section 4.3, shall be used to determine the daily geometric average sulfur dioxide emission rate. NR 440.215(9)(e)3.3. An owner or operator may request that compliance with the sulfur dioxide emissions limit be determined using carbon dioxide measurements corrected to an equivalent of 7% oxygen. The relationship between oxygen and carbon dioxide levels for the affected facility shall be established during the initial compliance test. NR 440.215(9)(e)4.4. The owner or operator of an affected facility shall conduct an initial compliance test for sulfur dioxide as required under s. NR 440.08. Compliance with the sulfur dioxide emission limit and percent reduction is determined by using a CEMS to measure sulfur dioxide and calculating a 24-hour daily geometric mean emission rate and daily geometric mean percent reduction using Method 19 sections 4.3 and 5.4, as applicable, except as provided under subd. 5. NR 440.215(9)(e)5.5. For batch MWCs or MWC units that do not operate continuously, compliance shall be determined using a daily geometric mean of all hourly average values for the hours during the day that the affected facility is combusting MSW. NR 440.215(9)(e)6.6. The owner or operator of an affected facility shall install, calibrate, maintain and operate a CEMS for measuring sulfur dioxide emissions discharged to the atmosphere and record the output of the system.
