Section 463.17. Notifications.  


Latest version.
  • (1) Initial notifications. The owner or operator shall submit initial notifications to the department as described in pars. (a) to (g) .
    (a) As required by s. NR 460.08 (2) (a) , the owner or operator shall provide notification for an area source that subsequently increases its emissions such that the source is a major source subject to the standard.
    (b) The owner or operator of a new or reconstructed affected source, or a source that has been reconstructed such that it is an affected source, that has an initial startup after September 24, 2002 and for which an application for approval of construction or reconstruction is not required under ch. NR 406 , shall provide notification that the source is subject to the standard.
    (c) As required by s. NR 460.08 (2) (d) , the owner or operator of a new or reconstructed major affected source that has an initial startup after September 24, 2002 and for which an application for approval of construction or reconstruction is required by ch. NR 406 shall provide all the following notifications:
    1. Intention to construct a new major affected source, reconstruct a major source or reconstruct a major source such that the source becomes a major affected source.
    2. Date when construction or reconstruction was commenced, submitted simultaneously with the application for approval of construction or reconstruction if construction or reconstruction was commenced before September 24, 2002, or no later than 30 days after the date construction or reconstruction commenced if construction or reconstruction commenced after September 24, 2002.
    3. Anticipated date of startup.
    4. Actual date of startup.
    (d) As required by s. NR 460.08 (2) (d) , after September 24, 2002, an owner or operator who intends to construct a new affected source or reconstruct an affected source subject to this subchapter, or reconstruct a source such that it becomes an affected source subject to this subchapter, shall provide notification of the intended construction or reconstruction. The notification shall include all the information required for an application for approval of construction or reconstruction as required by ch. NR 406 . For major sources, the application for approval of construction or reconstruction may be used to fulfill these requirements. The application shall be submitted according to one of the following, as applicable:
    1. The application shall be submitted as soon as practicable before the construction or reconstruction is planned to commence, but no sooner than September 24, 2002, if the construction or reconstruction commences after September 24, 2002.
    2. The application shall be submitted as soon as practicable before startup but no later than 90 days after September 24, 2002 if the construction or reconstruction had commenced and initial startup had not occurred before September 24, 2002.
    (e) As required by s. NR 460.08 (4) , the owner or operator shall provide notification of any special compliance obligations for a new source.
    (f) As required by s. NR 460.08 (5) and (6) , the owner or operator shall provide notification of the anticipated date for conducting performance tests and visible emission observations. The owner or operator shall notify the department of the intent to conduct a performance test at least 60 days before the performance test is scheduled; notification of opacity or visible emission observations for a performance test shall be provided at least 30 days before the observations are scheduled to take place.
    (g) As required by s. NR 460.08 (7) , the owner or operator shall provide additional notifications for sources with continuous emission monitoring systems or continuous opacity monitoring systems.
    (2) Notification of compliance status report. Each owner or operator of an existing affected source shall submit a notification of compliance status report within 60 days after the compliance date established by s. NR 463.115 (1) . Each owner or operator of a new affected source shall submit a notification of compliance status report within 90 days after conducting the initial performance test required by s. NR 463.16 (2) , or within 90 days after the compliance date established by s. NR 463.115 (2) if no initial performance test is required. The notification shall be signed by the responsible official who shall certify its accuracy. A notification of compliance status report shall include the information specified in pars. (a) to (j) . The required information may be submitted in an operation permit application, in an amendment to an operation permit application, in a separate submittal, or in any combination. If an owner or operator submits the information specified in this section at different times or in different submittals, later submittals may refer to earlier submittals instead of duplicating and resubmitting the information previously submitted. A notification of compliance status report shall include:
    (a) All information required in s. NR 460.08 (8) . The owner or operator shall provide a complete performance test report for each affected source and emission unit for which a performance test is required. A complete performance test report includes all data, associated measurements, and calculations, including visible emission and opacity tests.
    (b) The approved site-specific test plan and performance evaluation test results for each continuous monitoring system, including a continuous emission or opacity monitoring system.
    (c) Unit labeling as described in s. NR 463.14 (2) , including process type or furnace classification and operating requirements.
    (d) The compliant operating parameter value or range established for each affected source or emission unit with supporting documentation and a description of the procedure used to establish the value, such as lime injection rate, total reactive chlorine flux injection rate, afterburner operating temperature, fabric filter inlet temperature, including the operating cycle or time period used in the performance test.
    (e) Design information and analysis, with supporting documentation, demonstrating conformance with the requirements for capture and collection systems in s. NR 463.14 (3) .
    (f) If applicable, analysis and supporting documentation demonstrating conformance with EPA guidance and specifications for bag leak detection systems in s. NR 463.15 (6) .
    (g) Manufacturer's specification or analysis documenting the design residence time of no less than one second for each afterburner used to control emissions from a scrap dryer, delacquering kiln or decoating kiln subject to alternative emission standards in s. NR 463.13 (5) .
    (h) Manufacturer's specification or analysis documenting the design residence time of no less than 0.8 seconds and design operating temperature of no less than 1,600 ° F for each afterburner used to control emissions from a sweat furnace that is not subject to a performance test.
    (i) The operation, maintenance and monitoring (OM&M) plan, including site-specific monitoring plan for each group 1 furnace with no add-on air pollution control device.
    (j) Startup, shutdown and malfunction plan, with revisions.
