Section NR 465.22 - Definitions that apply to this subchapter

For terms not defined in this section, the definitions contained in chs. NR 400 and 460 apply to the terms in this subchapter, with definitions in ch. NR 460 taking priority over definitions in ch. NR 400. If this section defines a term which is also defined in ch. NR 400 or 460, the definition in this section applies in this subchapter. In this subchapter:

(1) "Add-on control device" means an air pollution control device, such as a thermal oxidizer or carbon absorber, that reduces pollution in an air stream by destruction or removal before discharge to the atmosphere.

(2) "Adhesive" means any chemical substance that is applied for the purpose of bonding 2 surfaces together.

(3) "Capture efficiency" or "capture system efficiency" means the portion, expressed as a percentage, of the pollutants from an emission source that is delivered to an add-on control device.

(4) "Capture system" means one or more capture devices intended to collect emissions generated by a coating operation in the use of coatings and cleaning materials, both at the point of application and at subsequent points where emissions from the coatings and cleaning materials occur, such as flashoff, drying or curing. As used in this subchapter, multiple capture devices that collect emissions generated by a coating operation are considered a single capture system.

(5) "Cleaning material" means a solvent used to remove contaminants and other materials such as dirt, grease, oil, and dried or wet coating from a substrate before or after coating application, or from equipment associated with a coating operation such as spray booths, spray guns, racks, tanks and hangers. Solvents used to clean substrates or equipment or both are included.

(6) "Coating" means a material applied to a substrate for decorative, protective or functional purposes. For the purposes of this subchapter, coatings include paints, porcelain enamels, sealants, caulks, inks, adhesives, and maskants. Decorative, protective or functional materials that consist only of protective oils, acids, bases or any combination of these substances are not considered coatings for the purposes of this subchapter.

(7) "Coating operation" means equipment used to apply cleaning materials to a substrate to prepare it for coating application or to remove dried coating, to apply coating to a substrate and to dry or cure the coating after application, or to clean coating operation equipment. A single coating operation may include any combination of these types of equipment but always includes at least the point at which a coating or cleaning material is applied and all subsequent points in the affected source where organic HAP emissions from that coating or cleaning material occur. There may be multiple coating operations in an affected source. Applications of coatings using hand-held, nonrefillable aerosol containers, touchup markers, or marking pens are not coating operations for the purposes of this subchapter.

(8) "Coating solids" means the nonvolatile portion of the coating that makes up the dry film.

(9) "Continuous parameter monitoring system" or "CPMS" means the total equipment that may be required to meet the data acquisition and availability requirements of this subchapter used to sample, condition (if applicable), analyze, and provide a record of coating operation, capture system, or add-on control device parameters.

(10) "Controlled coating operation" means a coating operation from which some or all of the organic HAP emissions are routed through an emission capture system and add-on control device.

(11) "Deviation" means any instance in which an affected source subject to this subchapter or an owner or operator of such a source fails to meet any of the following:

(a) Any requirement or obligation established by this subchapter including any emission limit, operating limit or work practice standard.

(b) Any term or condition that is adopted to implement an applicable requirement in this subchapter and that is included in the operating permit for any affected source required to obtain such a permit.

(c) Any emission limit, operating limit or work practice standard in this subchapter during startup, shutdown or malfunction regardless of whether or not the failure is permitted by this subchapter.

(12) "Emission limitation" means an emission limit, operating limit, or work practice standard.

(13) "Enclosure" means a structure that surrounds a source of emissions and captures and directs the emissions to an add-on control device.

(14) "Exempt compound" means a specific compound that is not considered a VOC due to negligible photochemical reactivity. The exempt compounds are listed in s. NR 400.02(162).

(15) "Facility maintenance" means the routine repair or refurbishing, including surface coating, of the tools, equipment, machinery and structures that comprise the infrastructure of the facility or that are necessary for the facility to function in its intended capacity. Facility maintenance does not mean cleaning of equipment that is part of a large appliances coating operation.

(16) "Heat transfer coil" means a tube-and-fin assembly used in large appliance products to remove heat from a circulating fluid.

(17) "Initial startup" means the first time equipment is brought online in a facility.

(18) "Large appliance part" means a component of a large appliance product except for the wider use parts excluded under s. NR 465.21(2) (d) 1.

(19) "Large appliance product" means, but is not limited to, any of the following products, except as provided under s. NR 465.21(2) (d) 3., manufactured for household, recreational, institutional, commercial or industrial use:

(a) Cooking equipment, including ovens, ranges and microwave ovens, but not including toasters, counter-top grills and similar small products.

(b) Refrigerators, freezers and refrigerated cabinets and cases.

(c) Laundry equipment, including washers, dryers, drycleaning machines and pressing machines.

(d) Dishwashers, trash compactors and water heaters.

(e) HVAC units, air-conditioning units except those in motor vehicles, air-conditioning and heating combination units, comfort furnaces and electric heat pumps. Specifically excluded are heat transfer coils and large commercial and industrial chillers.

(20) "Large commercial and industrial chillers" means, for the purposes of this subchapter, equipment designed to produce chilled water for use in commercial or industrial HVAC systems.

(21) "Manufacturer's formulation data" means data on a material, such as a coating, that are supplied by the material manufacturer based on knowledge of the ingredients used to manufacture that material, rather than based on testing of the material using the test methods specified in s. NR 465.26(2). Manufacturer's formulation data may include information on density, organic HAP content, volatile organic matter content and coating solids content.

(22) "Mass fraction of organic HAP" means the ratio of the mass of organic HAP to the mass of a material in which it is contained, expressed as kg organic HAP per kg of material.

(23) "Month" means a calendar month or a pre-specified period of 28 to 35 days to allow for flexibility in recordkeeping when data are based on a business accounting period.

(24) "Organic HAP content" means the mass of organic HAP per volume of coating solids for a coating, calculated using Equation 2 in s. NR 465.26(2). The organic HAP content is determined for the coating in the condition it is in when received from its manufacturer or supplier and does not account for any alteration after receipt.

(25) "Permanent total enclosure" or "PTE" means a permanently installed enclosure that meets the criteria of Method 204 in 40 CFR part 51, Appendix M, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04(9), for a PTE and that directs all the exhaust gases from the enclosure to an add-on control device.

(26) "Protective oil" means an organic material that is applied to a substrate for the purpose of providing lubrication or protection from corrosion without forming a solid film. Protective oil includes lubricating oils, evaporative oils (including those that evaporate completely), and extrusion oils.

(27) "Research or laboratory facility" means a facility whose primary purpose is for research and development of new processes and products conducted under the close supervision of technically trained personnel and is not engaged in the manufacture of final or intermediate products for commercial purposes, except in a de minimis manner.
