Current through August 26, 2024
(1) Unless a waiver
of emission testing is obtained from the department, each owner or operator of
a source covered under s.
NR 448.03(1) on which construction or
modification commenced after February 1, 1984 shall test emissions from the
source within 90 days of startup.
(a) The
department shall be notified at least 30 days prior to an emission test to
afford it the opportunity to have a representative present to witness the
testing procedures.
(b) Samples
shall be taken over such a period as is necessary to accurately determine the
maximum emissions which will occur in any 24-hour period. Where emissions
depend upon the relative frequency of operation of different types of
processes, operating hours, operating capacities or other factors, the
calculation of maximum 24-hour-period emissions will be based on that
combination of factors which is likely to occur during the subject period and
which result in the maximum emissions. No changes in the operation may be made
which would potentially increase emissions above that determined by the most
recent source test until a new emission level has been estimated by calculation
and the results reported to the department.
(c) All samples shall be analyzed and
beryllium emissions shall be determined within 30 days after the source test.
All determinations shall be reported to the department by registered letter
dispatched before the close of the next business day following the
determinations.
(d) Records of
emission test results and other data needed to determine total emissions shall
be retained at the source and made available for inspection by a department
representative for a minimum of 2 years.
(2) Emissions to the atmosphere from
rocket-motor test sites may not cause time-weighted atmospheric concentrations
of beryllium to exceed 75 microgram minutes per cubic meter of air within the
limits of 10 to 60 minutes, accumulated during any 2 consecutive weeks, in any
area in which an effect adverse to public health would occur.
(3) If combustion products from the firing of
beryllium propellant are collected in a closed tank, emissions from such tank
may not exceed 2.0 grams per hour and a maximum of 10 grams per day.
(4)
(a)
Sources subject to sub. (3) shall be continuously sampled during the release of
combustion products from the tank so that compliance with the standards can be
determined. The tests shall be conducted in accordance with Method 103 or
Method 104 of 40 CFR part 61, Appendix B, incorporated by reference in s.
NR 484.04(23).
(b) All samples shall be analyzed and
beryllium emissions shall be determined within 30 days after samples are taken
and before any subsequent rocket motor firing or propellant disposal at the
same site. All determinations shall be reported to the department by registered
letter dispatched before the close of the next business day following the
determination.
(c) Records of
emission test results and other data needed to determine total emissions shall
be retained at the source and shall be made available for inspection by a
department representative for a minimum of 2 years.
(d) The department shall be notified at least
30 days prior to an emission test to afford it the opportunity to have a
representative present to witness the testing procedures.
