Current through August 26, 2024
(1) A
remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats hazardous secondary
material subject to the provisions of this subchapter shall comply with the
test methods and procedural requirements provided in this section.
(2) When a closed-vent system is tested for
compliance with no detectable emissions, as required under s. NR 661.1033(12),
the test shall comply with all of the following requirements:
(a) Monitoring shall comply with Reference
Method 21 in appendix A of 40 CFR part 60, incorporated by reference in s.
NR 660.11.
(b) The detection instrument shall meet the
performance criteria of Reference Method 21 in appendix A of 40 CFR part 60,
incorporated by reference in s.
NR 660.11.
(c) The instrument shall be calibrated before
use on each day of its use by the procedures specified in Reference Method 21
in appendix A of 40 CFR part 60, incorporated by reference in s.
NR 660.11.
(d) Calibration gases shall be:
1. Zero air of less than 10 ppm of
hydrocarbon in air.
2. A mixture of
methane or n-hexane and air at a concentration of approximately, but less than,
10,000 ppm methane or n-hexane.
(e) The background level shall be determined
as set forth in Reference Method 21 in appendix A of 40 CFR part 60,
incorporated by reference in s.
NR 660.11.
(f) The instrument probe shall be traversed
around all potential leak interfaces as close to the interface as possible as
described in Reference Method 21 in appendix A of 40 CFR part 60, incorporated
by reference in s.
NR 660.11.
(g) The arithmetic difference between the
maximum concentration indicated by the instrument and the background level
shall be compared with 500 ppm for determining compliance.
(3) Performance tests to determine compliance
with s. NR 661.1032(1) and with the total organic compound concentration limit
specified in s. NR 661.1033(3) shall comply with all of the following:
(a) Performance tests to determine total
organic compound concentrations and mass flow rates entering and exiting
control devices shall be conducted and data reduced in accordance with all of
the following reference methods and calculation procedures:
1. Method 2 in appendix A of 40 CFR part 60,
incorporated by reference in s.
NR 660.11, for velocity and volumetric flow
rate.
2. Method 18 or Method 25A in
appendix A of 40 CFR part 60, incorporated by reference in s.
NR 660.11, for organic content. If Method 25A is used,
the organic HAP used as the calibration gas shall be the single organic HAP
representing the largest percent by volume of the emissions. The use of Method
25A is acceptable if the response from the high-level calibration gas is at
least 20 times the standard deviation of the response from the zero calibration
gas when the instrument is zeroed on the most sensitive scale.
3. Each performance test shall consist of 3
separate runs. Each run shall be conducted for at least 1 hour under the
conditions that exist when the hazardous secondary material management unit is
operating at the highest load or capacity level reasonably expected to occur.
For the purpose of determining total organic compound concentrations and mass
flow rates, the average of results of all runs shall apply. The average shall
be computed on a time-weighted basis.
4. Total organic mass flow rates shall be
determined by one of the following equations:
a. For sources utilizing Method 18.

Where:
Eh= Total organic mass flow rate,
kg/h
Q2sd= Volumetric flow rate of gases
entering or exiting control device, as determined by Method 2, dscm/h
n = Number of organic compounds in the vent gas
Ci= Organic concentration in ppm,
dry basis, of compound i in the vent gas, as determined by Method 18
MWi= Molecular weight of organic
compound i in the vent gas, kg/kg-mol
0.0416 = Conversion factor for molar volume, kg-mol/m3

Q = Volumetric flow rate of gases entering or exiting
control device, as determined by Method 2, dscm/h
C = Organic concentration in ppm, dry basis, as determined
by Method 25A
MW = Molecular weight of propane, 44
0.0416 = Conversion factor for molar volume, kg-mol/m3
(@293 K and 760 mm Hg)
10-6 = Conversion from
ppm.
5. The annual
total organic emission rate shall be determined by the following equation:

Where:
EA = Total organic mass emission
rate, kg/y
Eh = Total organic mass flow rate
for the process vent, kg/h
H = Total annual hours of operations for the affected unit,
h
6. Total organic emissions
from all affected process vents at the facility shall be determined by summing
the hourly total organic mass emission rates, Eh, as
determined in subd. 4., and by summing the annual total organic mass emission
rates, EA, as determined in subd. 5., for all affected
process vents at the facility.
(b) The remanufacturer or other person that
stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall record process
information that may be necessary to determine the conditions of the
performance tests. Operations during periods of startup, shutdown, and
malfunction may not constitute representative conditions for the purpose of a
performance test.
(c) The
remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary
material at an affected facility shall provide, or cause to be provided, all of
the following performance testing facilities:
1. Sampling ports adequate for the test
methods specified in par. (a).
2.
Safe sampling platform.
3. Safe
access to sampling platform.
4.
Utilities for sampling and testing equipment.
(d) For the purpose of making compliance
determinations, the time-weighted average of the results of the 3 runs required
in par. (a) 3. shall apply. In the event that a sample is accidentally lost or
conditions occur in which one of the 3 runs must be discontinued because of
forced shutdown, failure of an irreplaceable portion of the sample train,
extreme meteorological conditions, or other circumstances beyond the control of
the remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous
secondary material, compliance may, upon the department's approval, be
determined using the average of the results of the 2 other
runs.
(4) To show that a
process vent associated with a hazardous secondary material distillation,
fractionation, thin-film evaporation, solvent extraction, or air or steam
stripping operation is not subject to the requirements of this subchapter, the
remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary
material shall make an initial determination that the time-weighted, annual
average total organic concentration of the material managed by the hazardous
secondary material management unit is less than 10 ppmw using one of the
following 2 methods:
(a) Direct measurement
of the organic concentration of the material using all of the following
procedures:
1. The remanufacturer or other
person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary material shall take a
minimum of 4 grab samples of material for each material stream managed in the
affected unit under process conditions expected to cause the maximum material
organic concentration.
2. For
material generated on-site, the grab samples shall be collected at a point
before the material is exposed to the atmosphere such as in an enclosed pipe or
other closed system that is used to transfer the material after generation to
the first affected distillation, fractionation, thin-film evaporation, solvent
extraction, or air or steam stripping operation. For material generated
off-site, the grab samples shall be collected at the inlet to the first
material management unit that receives the material, provided the material has
been transferred to the facility in a closed system such as a tank truck and
the material is not diluted or mixed with other material.
3. Each sample shall be analyzed and the
total organic concentration of the sample shall be computed using Method 9060A
of "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods," EPA
Publication SW-846, incorporated by reference in s.
NR 660.11, or analyzed for its individual organic
constituents.
4. The arithmetic
mean of the results of the analyses of the 4 samples shall apply for each
material stream managed in the unit in determining the time-weighted, annual
average total organic concentration of the material. The time-weighted average
shall be calculated using the annual quantity of each material stream processed
and the mean organic concentration of each material stream managed in the
unit.
(b) Using
knowledge of the material to determine that its total organic concentration is
less than 10 ppmw. Documentation of the material determination is required.
Examples of documentation that shall be used to support a determination under
this provision include production process information documenting that no
organic compounds are used, information that the material is generated by a
process that is identical to a process at the same or another facility that has
previously been demonstrated by direct measurement to generate a material
stream having a total organic content less than 10 ppmw, or prior speciation
analysis results on the same material stream where it can also be documented
that no process changes have occurred since that analysis that could affect the
material total organic concentration.
(5) The determination that distillation,
fractionation, thin-film evaporation, solvent extraction, or air or steam
stripping operations manage hazardous secondary material with time-weighted,
annual average total organic concentrations less than 10 ppmw shall be made by
the remanufacturer or other person in accordance with all the following:
(a) By the effective date that the facility
becomes subject to the provisions of this subchapter or by the date when the
material is first managed in a hazardous secondary material management unit,
whichever is later.
(b) Annually
for continuously generated material, or whenever there is a change in the
material being managed or a change in the process that generates or treats the
material.
(6) When a
remanufacturer or other person that stores or treats the hazardous secondary
material and the department do not agree on whether a distillation,
fractionation, thin-film evaporation, solvent extraction, or air or steam
stripping operation manages a hazardous secondary material with organic
concentrations of at least 10 ppmw based on knowledge of the material, the
dispute may be resolved by using direct measurement as specified in sub. (4)
(a).
