NR 440.68(1)(a)1.1. When the affected facility is installed in an existing plant that is not expanding the manufacturer’s rated capacity of its petroleum solvent dryer(s) the total manufacturer’s rated dryer capacity is the summation of the manufacturer’s rated capacity for each existing petroleum solvent dryer.

NR 440.68(1)(a)2.2. When the affected facility is installed in a plant that is expanding the manufacturer’s rated capacity of its petroleum solvent dryers the total manufacturer’s rated dryer capacity is the summation of the manufacturer’s rated dryer capacity for each existing and proposed new petroleum solvent dryer.

NR 440.68(1)(a)3.3. When the affected facility is installed in a new plant the total manufacturer’s rated dryer capacity is the summation of the manufacturer’s rated dryer capacity for each proposed new petroleum solvent dryer.

NR 440.68(1)(a)4.4. The petroleum solvent dryers considered in the determination of the total manufacturer’s rated dryer capacity are those new and existing dryers in the plant that will be in service at any time after the proposed new source or modification commences operation.

NR 440.68(1)(b)(b) Any facility under par. (a) that commences construction or modification after December 14, 1982, is subject to the requirements of this section, except that a dryer installed between December 14, 1982 and September 21, 1984, in a plant with an annual solvent consumption level of less than 17,791 liters (4,700 gallons), is exempt from the requirements of this section.
