NR 424.01NR 424.01Applicability; purpose.
NR 424.01(1)(1)Applicability. This chapter applies to all process lines which are direct air contaminant sources and to their owners and operators.
NR 424.01(2)(2)Purpose. This chapter is adopted under ss. 285.11, 285.13 and 285.17, Stats., to categorize organic compound emissions from process lines into a separate organic compound air contaminant source category and to establish emission limitations for this category of sources in order to protect air quality.
