Current through August 26, 2024
When tests or a continuous monitoring system are required by
the department, the owner or operator of a source shall use the reference
methods listed in this section and in ss.
NR 439.07 to 439.095 to determine compliance with
emission limitations, unless an alternative or equivalent method is approved,
or a specific method is required, in writing, by the department. Any
alternative, equivalent or other specific method approved or required by the
department for an ozone precursor shall be submitted to, and will not become
effective for federal purposes until approved by, the administrator or designee
as a source-specific revision to the department's state implementation plan for
ozone. The test methods shall include quality control and quality assurance
procedures and the data reporting format which are specified and approved by
the department for collection, analysis, processing and reporting of compliance
monitoring data. Notwithstanding the compliance determination methods which the
owner or operator of a source is authorized to use under this chapter, the
department may use any relevant information or appropriate method to determine
a source's compliance with applicable emission limitations.
(1) NONFUGITIVE PARTICULATE EMISSIONS. The
owner or operator of a source shall use Method 5, 5A, 5B, 5D, 5E, 5F, 5G, 5H,
5I, or 17 in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s.
NR 484.04(13), and when required, Method
202 in 40 CFR part 51, Appendix M, incorporated by reference in s.
NR 484.04(9), to determine compliance
with a nonfugitive particulate emission limitation.
(1m) NONFUGITIVE PM10
particulate emissions. The owner or operator of a source shall use Method 201
or 201A in 40 CFR part 51, Appendix M, incorporated by reference in s.
NR 484.04(9), to determine compliance
with a nonfugitive PM 10 particulate emission limitation.
(2) SULFUR DIOXIDE EMISSIONS. The owner or
operator of a source shall use one or more of the following methods to
determine compliance with a sulfur dioxide emission limitation:
(a) Perform compliance emission testing
following Method 6, 6A, 6B, 6C, or 8 in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A,
incorporated by reference in s.
NR 484.04(13).
(b) Install, calibrate, maintain and operate
a continuous emission monitor that meets the applicable performance
specifications in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix B or, for affected units, the
performance specifications in 40 CFR part 75, Appendices A to I, incorporated
by reference in s.
NR 484.04(21) and (27). The owner or
operator of the source shall submit a quality control and quality assurance
plan for approval by the department. The monitor shall follow the plan, as
approved by the department.
(c)
Perform periodic fuel sampling and analysis of fossil and nonfossil fuels using
the methods and procedures specified in s.
NR 439.08.
(3) ORGANIC COMPOUND EMISSIONS. The owner or
operator of a source shall use the test methods and procedures listed in this
subsection to determine compliance with an organic compound emission
limitation. If a test method inadvertently measures compounds which are listed
in s.
NR 400.02(162) as having negligible
photochemical reactivity, the owner or operator may exclude these compounds
when determining compliance with a VOC emission limit if the amount of these
compounds is accurately quantified and the exclusion is approved by the
department. As a precondition to excluding these compounds as VOC or at any
subsequent time, the department may require an owner or operator to provide
monitoring or testing methods and results demonstrating, to the satisfaction of
the department, the amount of negligibly reactive compounds in the source's
emissions. Unless a source achieves compliance through an averaging method
specifically authorized by the department, organic compound emission
limitations in chs.
NR 419 to
424 shall be achieved on an
instantaneous basis.
(a) Method 18, 25, 25A,
or 25B in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s.
NR 484.04(13), shall be used to
determine organic compound emission concentrations or emission rates.
(am) Method 204, 204A, 204B, 204C,
204D, 204E, or 204F in 40 CFR part 51, Appendix M, or the data quality
objective method or lower confidence limit method in 40 CFR part 63, Subpart
KK, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s.
NR 484.04(9) and (24), shall be used to
determine the capture efficiency of a control system for volatile organic
compound emissions. The reporting and recordkeeping recommendations within a
test method shall be followed unless alternative reporting or recordkeeping
provisions have been approved in writing by the department. When determining
the overall emission reduction efficiency of a volatile organic compound
control system, simultaneous measurements of both the capture efficiency of the
system and the pollutant reduction efficiency of the control device may be
required.
(b) Method 24 or 24A in
40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s.
NR 484.04(13), shall be used to
determine the organic solvent content, the volume of solids, the weight of
solids, the water content and the density of surface coatings, inks, and
cleaning materials.
(c) Method 21
in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s.
NR 484.04(13), shall be used to detect
organic compound emission leaks except as provided in par. (i) 2. or 3.
Note: Section 439.06(3) (i) was repealed by CR
15-077
(d) Method 27 in 40
CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s.
NR 484.04(13), shall be used to verify
the vapor tightness of gasoline delivery tanks.
(e) An equation established under s.
NR 425.05(1) (b)
2. or contained in s.
NR 425.05(2) (b)
2. shall be used to determine compliance with
an internal offset.

determine compliance with the aerosol can filling VOC emission limit in s.
NR 424.04. If
a flame ionization detector is used to test compliance with s.
NR 424.04,
test equipment calibration shall be conducted with propane. During the testing
procedure, the flame ionization detector shall continuously measure VOC
emissions for a minimum of one hour per aerosol can filling line with the
control device not in operation and for a minimum of one hour with the control
device in full operation. Production data taken concurrently with the testing
procedure shall be used to calculate the VOC emission rates for the tested
aerosol can filling line when the control device is not in operation and when
the control device is in full operation.
(h) Compounds identified in s.
NR 400.02(162) as having negligible
photochemical reactivity shall be treated as water to determine compliance with
emission limitations which refer to water.

60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s.
NR 484.04(13), to determine compliance
with a lead emission limitation.
(6) NITROGEN COMPOUND EMISSIONS. The owner or
operator of a source shall use one of the following methods to determine
