NR 439.01 NR 439.01 Applicability; purpose.

NR 439.01(1) (1) Applicability. This chapter applies to all air contaminant sources and to their owners and operators. For sources subject to an emission standard under chs. NR 460 to 469 or under 40 CFR part 63, the requirements of ch. NR 460 apply in addition to the requirements of this chapter. In the case of any conflict between applicable provisions under chs. NR 460 to 469 and provisions of this chapter, the provisions under chs. NR 460 to 469 shall apply, this chapter not withstanding.

NR 439.01(2) (2) Purpose. This chapter is adopted under ss. 285.11, 285.13, 285.17, 285.19, and 285.65, Stats., to establish general reporting, recordkeeping, testing, inspection and determination of compliance requirements for all air contaminant sources. Individual chapters of chs. NR 400 to 499, permits or orders may contain additional requirements.

NR 439.02 NR 439.02 Definitions. The definitions contained in chs. NR 400 and 407 apply to the terms used in this chapter. In addition, the following definitions apply to the terms used in this chapter:

NR 439.02(1) (1) “Audit samples” means glass vials, gas cylinders or other materials which contain a known concentration of a pollutant that may be used for the purpose of quality assurance of certain laboratory analyses required for the determination of compliance.

NR 439.02(2) (2) “Baghouse” means a control device in which dust-laden gases are forced through a fabric bag and particulates are retained by direct interception, inertial impaction, diffusion, electrostatic attraction or gravitational settling.

NR 439.02(3) (3) “Compliance emission test” means a performance test required by the department or conducted in cooperation with the department involving the quantitative measurement of air contaminants as they are emitted from a source to determine compliance with an emission limitation.

NR 439.02(4) (4) “Condensible particulate matter” means any material, except uncombined water, that may not be collected in the front half of the particulate emission sampling train but which exists as a solid or liquid at standard conditions.
