NR 419.06 Transfer of any organic compound. NR 419.07 Remediation of contaminated soil or water. NR 419.08 Core and mold manufacturing for iron or steel foundries. NR 419.01(1)(1) Applicability. This chapter applies to all air contaminant sources which emit organic compounds and to their owners and operators. NR 419.01(2)(2) Purpose. This chapter is adopted under ss. 285.11, 285.13 and 285.17, Stats., to categorize organic compound air contaminant sources and to establish emission limitations for these categories in order to protect air quality. NR 419.02NR 419.02 Definitions. Except when another definition is specifically made applicable, the definitions contained in ch. NR 400 apply to the terms used in this chapter. In addition, except when another definition is specifically made applicable, in this chapter and in chs. NR 420 to 425: NR 419.02(1e)(1e) “Affected residual” means any liquid or solid material containing affected VOC that is removed from a wastewater stream by a waste management unit or treatment process that does not destroy organic compounds. NR 419.02 NoteNote: Examples of materials which are affected residuals from non-destructive wastewater management units are the organic layer and bottom residue removed by a decanter or organic-water separator and the overheads from a steam stripper or air stripper. Examples of materials that are not affected residuals are silt; mud; leaves; bottoms from a steam stripper or air stripper; and sludge, ash, or other materials removed from wastewater being treated by destructive devices such as biological treatment units and incinerators.
NR 419.02(1m)(1m) “Affected VOC” means VOC with a Henry’s Law Constant greater than or equal to 1.8 x 10-6 atm m3/gmole fraction (0.1 y/x) at 25°C. NR 419.02(1s)(1s) “Affected VOC wastewater stream” means a process wastewater stream from a process unit at an affected industrial category with either an annual average concentration of affected VOC greater than or equal to 10,000 parts per million by weight (ppmw) or an annual average concentration of affected VOC greater than or equal to 1,000 ppmw and an annual average flow rate greater than or equal to 10.0 liters per minute (2.64 gallons per minute), as determined in accordance with s. NR 419.045 (8) (b). The following are excluded from this definition: NR 419.02(1s)(c)(c) Water from fire-fighting and deluge systems, including testing of such systems. NR 419.02(1s)(h)(h) Wastewater drips from procedures such as disconnecting hoses after cleaning lines.
