Section NR 439.06 - Methods and procedures for determining compliance with emission limitations (by air contaminant) 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.(f) Methods approved by the department shall be used to determine the transfer efficiency of surface coating equipment.(g) Method 25A in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04(13), shall be used to 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.(j) Notwithstanding par. (b), Method 24 of 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04(13), shall be used to determine the VOC content of lithographic inks, fountain solutions and blanket or roller wash in complying with ss. NR 422.142 and 422.143.(4) CARBON MONOXIDE EMISSIONS.

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 sources, 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 and follow the quality control and quality assurance plan for the monitor which has been approved by the department.(7) TOTAL REDUCED SULFUR EMISSIONS.
