Current through August 26, 2024

(1) APPLICABILITY.

(a) Subsections (2) to (4) apply to coating operations of fire truck and emergency response vehicle manufacturing, where meeting applicable emission limits in s. NR 422.15 is not technologically or economically feasible and where total facility production of fire trucks and emergency response vehicles is less than 35 vehicles per day, in the following counties and at the respective emission thresholds:

1. Any facility located in the county of Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Washington, or Waukesha and which has VOC emissions, before consideration of controls, from all coating operations of fire truck and emergency response vehicle manufacturing are greater than 6.8 kilograms (15 pounds) in any one day.

2. Any facility located in the county of Brown, Calumet, Dane, Dodge, Door, Fond du Lac, Jefferson, Outagamie, Rock, or Winnebago and which has VOC emissions, before consideration of controls, from all coating operations of fire truck and emergency response vehicle manufacturing, is greater than or equal to 10 tons per year.

3. Any facility located outside the counties of Brown, Calumet, Dane, Dodge, Door, Fond du Lac, Jefferson, Kenosha, Kewaunee, Manitowoc, Milwaukee, Outagamie, Ozaukee, Racine, Rock, Sheboygan, Walworth, Washington, Waukesha, and Winnebago and which have total emissions of VOC from the facility, before consideration of controls, of greater than or equal to 100 tons per year.

(b) Subsection (5) applies to any facility with coating operations as described in par. (a) which is located in the county of Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Washington, or Waukesha if VOC emissions from all fire truck and emergency response vehicle manufacturing coating operations, including related cleaning activities, before consideration of controls, equal or exceed 3 tons per year on a 12 consecutive month rolling basis.

(2) EMISSION LIMITATIONS. No owner or operator of a fire truck or emergency response vehicle coating operation may cause, allow or permit the emission of any VOCs in excess of:

(a) 0.80 kilograms per liter (6.68 pounds per gallon) of coating, excluding water, delivered to a coating applicator that applies pretreatment coats.

(b) 0.53 kilograms per liter (4.44 pounds per gallon) of coating, excluding water, delivered to a coating applicator that applies prime coats.

(c) 0.72 kilograms per liter (6.00 pounds per gallon) of coating, excluding water, delivered to a coating applicator that applies topcoats.

(d) 0.42 kilograms per liter (3.50 pounds per gallon) of coating, excluding water, delivered to a coating applicator that applies clear coats.

(3) SOLVENT WASHINGS. All VOC emissions from solvent washings shall be considered in the emission limitations in sub. (2), unless the used wash solvent is directed into containers that prevent evaporation into the atmosphere.

(4) INTERNAL OFFSETS. Coating operations subject to this section may not be involved in an internal offset under s. NR 425.05.

(5) WORK PRACTICES. Beginning on March 1, 2013, the owner or operator of a facility subject to this subsection shall do all of the following:

(a) Store all VOC-containing cleaning materials and shop towels used for cleaning in closed containers.

(b) Ensure that storage containers used for VOC-containing materials are kept closed at all times except when depositing or removing material.

(d) Minimize spills of VOC-containing cleaning materials.

(e) Minimize emissions of VOC during cleaning of coating application, storage, mixing, and conveying equipment by ensuring that cleaning is performed without atomizing any VOC-containing cleaning material and that the used material is captured and contained.
