(1) FINISHING MATERIALS. The owner or operator of an affected source subject to the provisions of s. NR 465.04(1) (a) or (2) (a) shall demonstrate initial compliance according to the following procedures as appropriate:

(a) If complying by using the methods in s. NR 465.06(1) (a) 1. or (2) (a) 1., submit the results of the averaging calculation using Equation 1 in s. NR 465.06(1) (a) 1. for the first month with the initial compliance status report required by s. NR 465.105(2). The first month's calculation shall include data for the entire month in which the compliance date falls.

(b) If complying by using the methods s. NR 465.06(1) (a) 2. or (2) (a) 2., state in the initial compliance status report under s. NR 465.105(2) that compliant stains, washcoats, sealers, topcoats, basecoats, enamels and thinners, as applicable, are being used by the affected source.

(c) If complying by using the methods in s. NR 465.06(1) (a) 2. or (2) (a) 2. and applying coatings using continuous coaters, do one of the following:
1. State in the initial compliance status report under s. NR 465.105(2) that compliant coatings, as determined by the VHAP content of the coating in the reservoir and the VHAP content as calculated from records, and compliant thinners are being used.

2. State in the initial compliance status report under s. NR 465.105(2) that compliant coatings, as determined by the VHAP content of the coating in the reservoir, are being used; the viscosity of the coating in the reservoir is being monitored; and compliant thinners are being used. The owner or operator shall also submit data that demonstrate that viscosity is an appropriate parameter for demonstrating compliance.

(d) If complying by using the methods in s. NR 465.06(1) (a) 3. or (2) (a) 3., do all of the following:
1. Submit a monitoring plan that identifies each operating parameter to be monitored for the capture device and discusses why each parameter is appropriate for demonstrating continuous compliance.

2. Conduct an initial performance test as required under s. NR 460.06 using the procedures and test methods listed in ss. NR 460.06 and and 465.09(3) (4).

3. Calculate the overall control efficiency (R) following the procedures in s. NR 465.09(4).

4. Determine those operating conditions critical to determining compliance and establish one or more operating parameters that will ensure compliance with the standard. Operating parameters shall include the following:
a. For a thermal incinerator, minimum combustion temperature shall be the operating parameter.

b. For a catalytic incinerator equipped with a fixed catalyst bed, the minimum gas temperature both upstream and downstream of the catalyst bed shall be the operating parameters.

c. For a catalytic incinerator equipped with a fluidized catalyst bed, the minimum gas temperature upstream of the catalyst bed and the pressure drop across the catalyst bed shall be the operating parameters.

d. For a carbon adsorber, the total regeneration mass stream flow for each regeneration cycle and the carbon bed temperature after each regeneration, or the concentration level of organic compounds exiting the adsorber, shall be the operating parameters, unless the owner or operator requests and receives approval from the administrator to establish other operating parameters.

e. For a control device not listed in this subdivision, one or more operating parameter values shall be established as follows: The owner or operator shall submit, for the administrator's approval, a description of the device, test data verifying the performance of the device, and appropriate site-specific operating parameters that will be monitored to demonstrate continuous compliance with the standard.

(e) The value for each site-specific operating parameter in par. (d) 4. shall be calculated as the arithmetic average of the maximum or minimum operating parameter values, as appropriate, that demonstrate compliance with the standards, during the 3 test runs required by s. NR 465.09(3) (a).

(2) CONTACT ADHESIVES. The owner or operator of an affected source subject to the provisions of s. NR 465.04(1) (b) or (2) (b) shall demonstrate initial compliance according to the following procedures as appropriate:

(a) If complying by using the methods in s. NR 465.06(1) (b), (c) 1. or (2) (b) 1., state in the initial compliance status report under s. NR 465.105(2) that compliant contact adhesives are being used by the affected source.

(b) If complying by using the methods in s. NR 465.06(1) (c) 2. or (2) (b) 2., do all of the following:
1. Submit a monitoring plan that identifies each operating parameter to be monitored for the capture device and discusses why each parameter is appropriate for demonstrating continuous compliance.

2. Conduct an initial performance test as required under s. NR 460.06 using the procedures and test methods listed in ss. NR 460.06 and and 465.09(3) (4).

3. Calculate the overall control efficiency (R) following the procedures in s. NR 465.09(4).

4. Determine those operating conditions critical to determining compliance and establish one or more operating parameters that will ensure compliance with the standard. Operating parameters shall include the following:
a. For a thermal incinerator, minimum combustion temperature shall be the operating parameter.

b. For a catalytic incinerator equipped with a fixed catalyst bed, the minimum gas temperature both upstream and downstream of the catalyst shall be the operating parameters.

c. For a catalytic incinerator equipped with a fluidized catalyst bed, the minimum gas temperature upstream of the catalyst bed and the pressure drop across the catalyst bed shall be the operating parameters.

(c) The value for each site-specific operating parameter in par. (b) 4. shall be calculated as the arithmetic average of the maximum or minimum operating values, as appropriate, that demonstrate compliance with the standards, during the 3 test runs required by s. NR 465.09(3) (a).

(3) STRIPPABLE SPRAY BOOTH COATINGS. The owner or operator of an affected source subject to the provisions s. NR 465.04(1) (c) or (2) (c) shall demonstrate initial compliance by stating in the initial compliance status report under s. NR 465.105(2) that compliant strippable spray booth coatings are being used.

(4) WORK PRACTICE STANDARDS. The owner or operator of an affected source subject to the work practice standards in s. NR 465.05 shall demonstrate initial compliance by stating in the initial compliance status report under s. NR 465.105(2) that the work practice implementation plan has been developed and procedures have been established for implementing the provisions of the plan.
