Section 469.07. Idling emission limit standards for batch vapor and in-line cleaning machines.

  Each owner or operator of a batch vapor or in-line solvent cleaning machine complying with the idling emission limit standards in s. NR 469.04 (2) (a) 2. or (b) 2. or (3) (a) 2. or (b) 2. shall comply with the requirements specified in this section.

(1)  Conduct an initial performance test to comply with the following requirements:

(a) Demonstrate compliance with the applicable idling emission limit.

(b) Establish parameters that will be monitored to demonstrate compliance. If a control device is used that is listed in s. NR 469.06 (2) , then the requirements for that control device as listed in s. NR 469.06 (2) shall be used unless the owner or operator can demonstrate to the department's satisfaction that an alternative strategy is equally effective.

(2)  Conduct the periodic monitoring of the parameters used to demonstrate compliance as described in s. NR 469.10 (6) .

(3)  Operate the solvent cleaning machine within parameters identified in the initial performance test.

(4)  If any of the requirements in subs. (1) to (3) are not met, determine whether an exceedance has occurred using the following criteria:

(a) If using a control device listed in s. NR 469.06 (2) , the owner or operator shall comply with the appropriate parameter values in s. NR 469.06 (2) and the exceedance delineations in s. NR 469.06 (3) (a) and (b) .

(b) If using a control device not listed in s. NR 469.06 (2) , the owner or operator shall indicate whether the exceedance of the parameters that are monitored to determine the proper functioning of this control would be classified as an immediate exceedance or whether a 15 day repair period would be allowed. This information shall be submitted to the department for approval.

(5)  The owner or operator shall report all exceedances and all corrections and adjustments made to avoid an exceedance as specified in s. NR 469.12 (7) .
