NR 440.71(2)(c)(c) Tables 1A and 1B present a cross reference of the affected facility status and the relevant subsections of the regulation. aThis table is presented for the convenience of the user and is not intended to supersede the language of the regulation. For the details of the requirements, refer to the text of the regulation.
bRefer to Part B to determine which paragraphs of subs. (5), (6) and (8) correspond to each compliance provision (sub. (4)).
cAs per sub. (1) (b), any new coating operation with solvent utilization <38 m3/yr or any modified or reconstructed coating operation with solvent utilization <370 m3/yr is exempt from the VOC standards (sub. (3)). Such coating operations are subject only to subs. (5) (a) and (8) (b) and (c). However, should a coating operation once exceed the applicable annual solvent utilization cutoff, that coating operation shall be subject to the VOC standards (sub. (3)) and all other applicable subsections. Once this has occurred, the coating operation shall remain subject to those requirements regardless of changes in annual solvent utilization.
dAs applicable
e40 CFR 60.716 permits the use of an alternative means of VOC emission limitation that achieves an equivalent or greater VOC emission reduction. a Sub. (4) (a) specifies the procedures to be used prior to modification/reconstruction to establish the applicability of the VOC standards in sub. (3) (c) for modified/reconstructed coating operations. Subsection (4) (a) 1. requires the use of the procedures of sub. (4) (b) 1., 2., 3. or 4., to demonstrate prior to modification/reconstruction that 90% of the applied VOC is recovered or destroyed. Sub. (4) (a) 2. requires the use of procedures of sub. (4) (b) 5. to demonstrate prior to modification/reconstruction that the coating operation has a total enclosure vented to a control device that is at least 92% efficient. Sub. (4) (k) and (L) do not have corresponding test methods, monitoring, reporting or recordkeeping requirements.
b TI denotes thermal incinerator, CI denotes catalytic incinerator; CA denotes carbon adsorber; CO denotes condenser; PE denotes partial enclosure; TE denotes total enclosure.
c See sub. (8) (f) for additional reporting requirements when coating mix preparation equipment is constructed at a time when no coating operation is being constructed. See sub. (8) (g) for addition reporting requirements when coating mix preparation equipment is constructed at the same time as an affected coating operation.
NR 440.71(3)(a)(a) Each owner or operator of any affected facility that is subject to the requirements of this section shall comply with the emission limitations in this subsection on and after the date on which the initial performance test required by s. NR 440.08 is completed, but not later than 60 days after achieving the maximum production rate at which the affected facility will be operated or 180 days after initial startup, whichever date comes first.
