Form 1100-001 NATURAL RESOURCES BOARD AGENDA ITEM Item No. ___3.A.3_______ 

(R 9/07) 

SUBJECT:

Request adoption of Board Order AM-19-08, proposed rules affecting NR 422 and 423 pertaining to Reasonable 

Available Control Technology for VOC sources engaged in solvent cleaning; lithographic printing; flexible package 

printing; flat wood panel coating; paper, film and foil coating; large appliance coating and metal furniture coating. 

FOR: MARCH 2009 BOARD MEETING

TO BE PRESENTED BY: Larry Bruss - Regional Pollutant & Mobile Source Section Chief 

SUMMARY:

Section 182(b)(2) of Clean Air Act requires implementation of reasonably available control technology (RACT) for sources 

of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in moderate and worse ozone nonattainment areas, for which EPA has published a 

Control Techniques Guideline (CTG). DNR’s rules set VOC RACT emission limits in Wisconsin’s moderate ozone 

nonattainment areas. However, on March 17, 2008, EPA notified DNR that Wisconsin’s state implementation plan was 

deficient because DNR’s rules did not set VOC RACT emission limits in Wisconsin's ozone nonattainment areas 

consistent with recently published CTGs. The rule revisions are necessary to avoid potential federal sanctions, including 

withholding of federal highway funds, and implementation of a federal plan instead of State rules. 

In the past, the Board has adopted a number of rules addressing the control of VOC emissions from stationary sources to 

address the ozone nonattainment problems in southeastern Wisconsin. Most of the proposed changes are intended to 

stay current and consistent with federal changes and to add clarity to existing regulations. 

The groups directly affected include sources engaged in the following activities: industrial cleaning solvents; lithographic 

and letter press printing; flexible package printing; flat wood panel coating; paper, film and foil coating; large appliance 

coating; and metal furniture coating. 

Four organizations or agencies, Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce, Printing Industries of Wisconsin, Specialty 

Graphic Imaging Association and EPA commented on the proposed rule. All three industrial organizations were generally 

supportive of the proposed rule and offered suggestions to clarify and simplify the proposed rule. EPA suggested 

changes to strengthen applicability and emission limits. Where appropriate, DNR made changes to the proposed rule to 

accommodate the commentors' suggestions. 

RECOMMENDATION: That the Board adopt Order AM-19-08.

FROM: Matt Frank, Secretary 

SUBJECT: Background memo on adoption of Order AM-19-08, proposed rules affecting NR 422 and 

423 pertaining to Reasonable Available Control Technology for VOC sources engaged in 

solvent cleaning; lithographic printing; flexible package printing; flat wood panel coating; 

paper, film and foil coating; large appliance coating and metal furniture coating.. 

Why are these rules being proposed? 

The Department proposes these rules to meet the requirements of Section 182(b)(2) of the federal Clean 

Air Act. Section 182(b)(2) requires states with moderate ozone nonattainment areas to update existing 

volatile organic compound (VOC) Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) regulations within 

1 year of US EPA issuing updated Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG). US EPA issued revised CTGs 

for four industrial source categories in September 2006 and three more in September 2007. The 

Department is basing the proposed rules on the revised CTGs. The rule revisions will be incorporated 

pursuant s. 285.11(6), Stats. 

The proposed rules address updated requirements to the following VOC RACT categories. 

• Paper Coating 

• Metal Furniture Coating 

• Large Appliance Coating 

• Flat Wood Paneling Coating 

• Flexible Package Printing 

• Offset Lithographic Printing 

• Industrial Cleaning Solvents 

Summary of the Rules. 

The Bureau of Air Management proposes to update VOC RACT rules based on revised US EPA CTG 

documents for the above-listed industrial categories. These proposed rules apply in Wisconsin’s seven 

moderate ozone nonattainment counties (Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Washington 

and Waukesha). The current limitations previously established in Administrative Code remain in place 

for each of these RACT categories. The following is a short summary of each proposed rule’s provisions, 

referenced by the proposed rule section. 

NR 422.075: Paper Coating 

This proposed rule applies VOC control to paper, film and foil coating lines, and solvent cleaning work 

practices associated with this source sector. Paper coating lines include lines coating film and foil 

substrates in a uniform manner. The proposed rule applies to a subset of facilities regulated under the 

more general NR 422.07 that established RACT for this printing sector. The proposed rule applies new 

limits based on mass of VOC per mass of coating solids applied to individual coating lines emitting 25 

tons per year VOC (maximum theoretical emissions) from the coating applicators and drying ovens. The 

updated proposed rule establishes work practices to minimize VOC emissions from various activities, 

1
2

including cleaning and material handling, associated with the printing process. The work practices portion 

of the proposed rule applies to facilities emitting 3 tons of VOC on a 12 month rolling basis from all 

coating lines and related cleaning activities at the facility. The proposed rule requires coating line 

operations to achieve a 90% VOC control efficiency through the combination of installation of VOC 

control devices and/or use of compliant coatings based on VOC content. The proposed rule also addresses 

storage and disposal requirements, control requirements, recordkeeping, compliance testing, and 

certification testing. 

NR 422.105, NR 422.115, NR 422.131: Metal Furniture, Large Appliance and Flatwood Panel 

Coating 

These proposed rules apply VOC control to metal furniture coating, large appliance coating, flat wood 

panel coating and associated solvent cleaning work practices at facilities with emissions exceeding 3 tons 

of VOC on a 12 month rolling basis. The proposed rules require application of new coating limits by 

coating type based on mass of VOC per volume of coating as applied, excluding water and exempt 

specific coating operations The proposed rules also establish a companion control requirement to utilize 

specific application techniques along with solvent cleaning work practices. If a control device is used to 

achieve compliance with the coating VOC content limits, the proposed rules require a minimum 90% 

overall VOC control efficiency. The proposed rules also address storage and disposal requirements, 

control requirements, recordkeeping, compliance testing, and certification testing. 

NR 422.141: Flexible Package Printing 

This proposed rule applies VOC control to large flexible package printing presses, and associated solvent 

cleaning work practices. The proposed rule applies to individual large presses emitting 25 tons per year of 

VOC (maximum theoretical emissions) from inks, coatings and adhesives, combined, from the press 

dryer. Sources may choose to reduce VOC emissions from large individual presses by either installing 

control systems or accepting VOC content limits for inks, coatings and adhesives. The solvent cleaning 

work practices portion of the proposed rule applies to facilities emitting 3 tons of VOC on a 12 month 

rolling basis from all flexible package printing presses and related flexible package cleaning activities at 

the facility. The regulation addresses flexible package printing operations through the installation of VOC 

control devices, and storage and disposal requirements. 

NR 422.143: Lithographic Printing

This proposed rule applies VOC control to lithographic printing presses emitting 25 tons per year of VOC 

(maximum theoretical emissions) from heatset inks from the press dryer. In accordance with the CTG, the 

proposed rule contains emission limitation exemptions for: up to 110 gallons of blanket or roller wash on 

a 12-consecutive month rolling basis, sheet-fed presses with a maximum sheet size of up to 11 inches by 

17 inches, any lithographic press with a total fountain solution reservoir of less than one gallon, the 

printing of books on a heatset lithographic press, and heatset lithographic presses with a maximum web 

width of up to 22 inches. The proposed rule also contains VOC content limits for fountain solutions, and 

blanket or roller wash. The fountain solution and blanket or roller wash limits along with the solvent 

cleaning work practices portion of the proposed rule apply to facilities emitting 3 tons/year of 

uncontrolled VOC emissions from all lithographic printing presses and related lithographic cleaning 

activities at the facility. The proposed rule also addresses storage and disposal requirements, temperature 

monitoring requirements, control requirements, recordkeeping requirements, compliance testing, and 

certification testing requirements. 

NR 423.037: Solvent Cleaning 
3

This proposed rule applies VOC controls to industrial cleaning operations at facilities emitting 3 tons of 

VOC on a 12 month rolling basis from industrial cleaning operations. The proposed rule limits emissions 

by establishing solvent and solvent solution requirements, cleaning device and methods requirements, 

storage and disposal requirements, and recordkeeping requirements. Some industrial cleaning operations 

are regulated under industry specific RACT rules such as lithographic printers and large appliance 

manufacturers. 

How does this proposal affect existing policy?

The proposed rules strike a balance between two competing regulatory requirements, the statutory 

limitation prohibiting the Department from going beyond federal minimum requirements and the antibacksliding provision of the Clean Air Act. The Departments current policies require consistency with 

both of these requirements. 

Hearing Synopsis

Five organizations, Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce [WMC], Printing Industries of Wisconsin 

[PIW], Specialty Graphic Imaging Association [SGIA] EPA and Wisconsin Legislative Council Rules 

Clearinghouse commented on the proposed rule. Printing Industries of Wisconsin is an affiliate 

of Printing Industries of America, which is the world’s largest graphic arts trade association, serving over 

12,000 member companies comprised of printers and associated industries serving the printing industries. 

 Specialty Graphics Imaging Association is a trade group that represents entities engaged in the use of 

screen printing and wide format digital imaging devices. 

All three industrial organizations were generally supportive of the proposed rule. WMC’s comments 

focused on several non-rule related issues particularly addressing designation of ozone nonattainment 

areas in Southeastern Wisconsin. WMC encouraged the Department to move quickly on finalizing the 

VOC RACT rules and submitting a request to EPA to redesignate the ozone nonattainment areas in the 

State to attainment. 

SGIA’s comments focused on the industrial cleaning portions of the rule, particularly on screen 

reclamation. They were concerned about the potential duplication of control requirements between the 

existing industrial cleaning regulations and the proposed rule. 

PIW provided numerous comments on the lithographic printing portion of the rule. Their comments had 

several main themes: 

• Rule applicability threshold

• Exemptions from the rule

• Emission limits

• Consistency with EPA’s Control Technology Guideline document

• Compliance averaging time.

• Streamlining the rule for clarity.

Aside from a few minor technical suggestions, EPA’s comments focused on the following issues. 

• Reporting and record keeping requirements. 

• Work practices 

• Solvent concentration limits
4

The Department adopted the general approach of attempting to be consistent with EPA’s Control 

Technology Guidelines while prohibiting back-sliding on VOC control rules that were already in place. 

Keeping this general approach in mind, the Department made several changes to the proposed rules based 

on the comments. Among other minor changes the Department: 

• Changed the applicability threshold for several printing and coating operations and solvent 

cleaning from daily to a 12 month rolling basis. 

• Slightly modified work practice requirements for consistency within the coating categories. 

• Changed several VOC content limits in the solvent cleaning portion of the rule. 

• Made several clarifying changes. 

A more detailed list of comments and the Department’s response to those comments is found in the 

appendix to this document. 

The Wisconsin Legislative Council Rules Clearinghouse comments on form, style and clarity were 

addressed as appropriate. 

Information on Environmental Analysis

The Department has determined that these proposed rules represent a type III action under s. NR 

150.03(3), and therefore do not need an environmental analysis 

Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis.

These regulations will have a minimal economic cost to individual small businesses, because the major 

control requirements apply only to large facilities. Additionally, solvent cleaning work practices are 

considered standard industrial practice, therefore it is anticipated that most businesses affected by these 

proposed rules are already implementing the requirements. The Department has therefore concluded that 

the proposed rules will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 

businesses.

Rule Analysis

Under Sec. 182(b)(2) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Department is required to update its VOC 

Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) regulations when EPA issues updated Control 

Techniques Guidelines (CTG) for RACT categories. These rules apply in Wisconsin’s seven moderate 

ozone nonattainment counties (Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Washington and 

Waukesha). More specific information is provided below. 
NR 422.075: This rule applies VOC control to paper, film and foil coating lines, and solvent cleaning work 

practices. The rule applies new limits based on mass of VOC per mass of coating solids applied to 

individual coating lines emitting 25 tons per year VOC (maximum theoretical emissions) from the coating 

applicators and drying ovens. Paper coating lines include lines coating film and foil substrates in a 

uniform manner. The solvent cleaning work practices portion of the rule applies to facilities emitting 15 

lb/day of uncontrolled VOC emissions from all coating lines and related coating cleaning activities at the 

facility. The rule requires coating line operations to achieve a 90% VOC control efficiency through the 

combination of installation of VOC control devices and/or use of compliant coatings based on VOC 

content. The rule also addresses storage and disposal requirements, control requirements, 

recordkeeping, compliance testing, and certification testing. Requirements in NR 422.07 continue to apply 

to facilities currently covered by that section. 

NR 422.105, NR 422.115, NR 422.131: These rules apply VOC control to metal furniture coating, large 

appliance coating, flat wood panel coating and associated solvent cleaning work practices. The rules 

require application of new coating limits by coating type based on mass of VOC per volume of non-water 

coating as applied, exempt specific coating operations and apply to facilities with emissions exceeding 15 

lbs/day (maximum theoretical emissions). The rules also establish a companion control requirement to 

utilize specific application techniques. The solvent cleaning work practices portion of the rules apply to 

facilities emitting 15 lb/day of uncontrolled VOC emissions from all coating lines and related activities at 

the facility. The rules require coating line operations to achieve a 90% VOC control efficiency through the 

combination of installation of VOC control devices and/or use of compliant coatings based on VOC 

content. The rules also address storage and disposal requirements, control requirements, recordkeeping, 

compliance testing, and certification testing. Requirements in NR 422.10, NR 422.11, NR 422.13 

continue to apply to facilities currently covered by those sections. 

 

NR 422.141: This rule applies VOC control to large flexible package printing presses, and associated 

solvent cleaning work practices. The rule applies to individual large presses emitting 25 tons per year of 

VOC (maximum theoretical emissions) from inks, coatings and adhesives, combined, from the press 

dryer. Sources may choose to reduce VOC emissions from large individual presses by either installing 

control systems or accepting VOC content limits for inks, coatings and adhesives. The solvent cleaning 

work practices portion of the rule applies to facilities emitting 15 lb/day of uncontrolled VOC emissions 

from all flexible package printing presses and related flexible package cleaning activities at the facility. 

The regulation addresses flexible package printing operations through the installation of VOC control 

devices, and storage and disposal requirements. Requirements in NR 422.14 continue to apply to 

facilities currently covered by that section. 

NR 422.143: This rule applies VOC control to lithographic printing presses emitting 25 tons per year of 

VOC (maximum theoretical emissions) from heatset inks from the press dryer. In accordance with the 

CTG, the rule contains emission limitation exemptions for: up to 110 gallons of blanket or roller wash on a 

12-consecutive month rolling basis, sheet-fed presses with a maximum sheet size of up to 11 inches by 

17 inches, any lithographic press with a total fountain solution reservoir of less than one gallon, the 

printing of books on a heatset lithographic press, and heatset lithographic presses with a maximum web 

width of up to 22 inches. The rule also contains fountain solution VOC content limits for heatset, nonheatset, sheet-fed presses, and blanket or roller wash. The solvent cleaning work practices portion of the 

rule applies to facilities emitting 15 lb/day of uncontrolled VOC emissions from all lithographic printing 

presses and related lithographic cleaning activities at the facility. The rule also addresses storage and 

disposal requirements, temperature monitoring requirements, control requirements, recordkeeping 

requirements, compliance testing, and certification testing requirements. Requirements in NR 422.142 

continue to apply to facilities currently covered by that section. 

NR 423.037: This rule applies VOC controls to industrial cleaning operations at facilities emitting 6.8 

kg/day (15 lb/day) of uncontrolled VOC emissions from industrial cleaning operations. The rule limits 

emissions by establishing solvent and solvent solution requirements, cleaning device and methods 

requirements, storage and disposal requirements, and recordkeeping requirements. Some industrial 

cleaning operations are regulated under industry specific RACT rules such as lithographic printers and 
large appliance manufacturers. Requirements in NR 423.035 continue to apply to facilities currently 

covered by that section. 

Summary of, and comparison with, existing or proposed federal regulation: 

The Clean Air Act requires the Department to update existing VOC RACT rules when EPA issues an 

updated CTG. The rules for paper, film and foil coating, flat wood panel coating, furniture metal coating, 

large appliance coating, flexible package printing, lithographic printing, and industrial cleaning operations 

are based directly on the EPA CTGs. The rules regulate VOC emissions from individual printing and 

coating lines with emissions above specified thresholds as well as regulating VOC cleaning solvent work 

practices. 

Comparison with similar rules in adjacent states (Illinois, Iowa, Michigan and Minnesota):

Illinois and Michigan are in the same position as Wisconsin regarding potentially deficient VOC RACT 

rules and they need to update their rules to reflect recently updated CTGs. Both states had previously 

adopted VOC RACT for the categories of sources subject to this rulemaking where such sources existed 

in their ozone nonattainment areas. Neither state has issued proposed new or updated regulations, but 

both are on a schedule to incorporate the required VOC RACT updates within their ozone SIPs. 

Minnesota and Iowa do not have designated ozone nonattainment areas and are not deficient in regard to 

VOC RACT. 

Summary of factual data and analytical methodologies used and how any related findings support 

the regulatory approach chosen: 

The new paper, film and foil coating rule, the new furniture metal coating rule, and the new large 

appliance coating rule are based on the 2007 EPA CTGs for these categories. The new flexible package 

printing rule, the new lithographic printing rule, the new flatwood panel coating rule and the new industrial 

cleaning operations rule are based on the 2006 EPA CTGs for these source categories. All the 

recommended control measures in the CTGs are incorporated into the new rules. Retention of existing 

RACT limitations for these categories prevents backsliding. Some industrial cleaning operations will be 

regulated under industry specific RACT rules for lithographic printing; flexible package printing; flat wood 

paneling coatings; paper film and foil coatings; large appliance coatings; and metal furniture coatings. 

Analysis and supporting documents used to determine the effect on small business or in 

preparation of an economic impact report: 

NR 422.075: The control requirements for individual large paper, film and foil coating lines will not impact 

small businesses. EPA established the number of affected facilities by surveys with consideration of state 

emission reporting and inventory estimates. Estimated cost per unit VOC reduced is provided by EPA in 

the CTG document. 

An economic impact report was not requested. 

NR 422.105: NR 422.115: NR 422.131: The control requirements for large metal furniture coating lines, 

large appliance coating lines and flatwood panel coating lines will not impact small businesses as these 

activities are already regulated for the facility threshold scale proposed. The coating activities and limits 

and control requirements reflect current industry coating types and application practices. EPA established 

the number of affected facilities by surveys with consideration of state emission reporting and inventory 

estimates. Estimated cost per unit VOC reduced is provided by EPA in the CTG document. 

An economic impact report was not requested. 

NR 422.141: NR 422.143: The control requirements for individual large printing flexible package printing 

presses and large lithographic packaging printing presses will not impact small businesses, since these 

large presses are not used by small businesses. 
The solvent cleaning work practices are considered standard industrial practice. Most, if not all, facilities 

already perform good solvent cleaning work practices. The proposed rule establishes those standard 

work practices as requirements. 

An economic impact report was not requested. 

NR 423:037: The control requirements for industrial cleaning operations will not impact small businesses. 

The many solvent cleaning work practices are considered standard industrial practice. Most, if not all, 

facilities already perform good solvent cleaning work practices. 

An economic impact report has not been requested. 

Effect on small business: These regulations will have a minimal economic cost to individual small 

businesses, because the major control requirements apply only to large facilities. Additionally, solvent 

cleaning work practices are considered standard industrial practice, therefore it is anticipated that most 

businesses affected by these rules are already implementing the requirements. More specific cost 

estimates are provided below.

NR 422.075: Through industry surveys EPA has estimated that no more than 7 facilities may be 

regulated in the large paper, foil and film coating category (inclusive of fabric and vinyl coaters regulated 

under NR 422.08 in Wisconsin nonattainment counties. A smaller number meet the 25 ton/coating line 

regulatory threshold. EPA estimated the national average cost of this RACT control as $1180/ton VOC 

($2005). 

NR 422.105: EPA estimated through prior survey work accomplished as background for the federal 

NESHAP that only143 facilities operate within ozone nonattainment areas nationwide. Comparative 

statistics suggest less than a dozen furniture metal coating facilities operate in Wisconsin’s nonattainment 

area. EPA estimated the national average cost of this coating RACT control as $1670/ton VOC ($2005) 

with the incremental cost of the new coating limits and application practice requirements as $200/ton 

($2005). 

NR 422.115: For large appliance coating, EPA estimated the national average cost of this coating RACT 

control at $500/ton VOC ($2006). 

NR 422.131: Through industry surveys, EPA has estimated that only 1 facility is likely to be regulated for 

flatwood panel coating in Wisconsin nonattainment counties. EPA estimated the national average cost of 

this coating RACT control as $1900/ton VOC ($2005) for interior and tileboard panels and $2600/ton VOC 

($2005) for exterior siding. 

NR 422.141: NR 422.143: EPA estimates that the total annual cost related to the cleaning requirements 

per small lithographic and flexible package printing facilities is approximately $1,485 (2005 dollars).

Response to Comments 

Comments from PIW

Comment: The structure of the rule for lithographic printing is confusing with conflicting 

requirements. 

Response: 

DNR’s development of this rule addresses two competing requirements, the federal 

Clean Air Act (Act), which prohibits backsliding on emission control requirements in 

nonattainment areas, and state statute, which requires ozone control measures to 

conform to the Act. DNR wrote the rule to avoid applying new lithographic printing 

controls in Manitowoc and Kewaunee Counties, which are not required at this time. 

Additionally, DNR aimed to prevent backsliding for portions of the existing lithographic 

printing rules in NR 422.142 that are not covered by the new Control Techniques 

Guidance document (CTG) for lithographic printing published by the US EPA. The CTG 

is used by EPA as a basis for judging the approvability of state rules submitted as SIP 

revisions? 

As a point of clarification, NR 422.142 applies to lithographic printing operations in 9 

counties; Kenosha, Kewaunee, Manitowoc, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, 

Washington and Waukesha. Additional requirements for lithographic printing operations 

are found in the proposed NR 422. 143, but those additional requirements only apply in 

7 counties; Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Washington and 

Waukesha. 

Comment: 

The DNR’s proposed amendments result in two separate and distinct Wis. Adm. Code 

sections that establish different monthly and daily VOC emissions-based applicability 

criteria. Existing section NR 422.142(1)(a) establishes a maximum theoretical emissionsbased applicability threshold of 1,666 pounds per month from all lithographic printing 

presses for any facility located in Kenosha, Kewaunee, Manitowoc, Milwaukee, 

Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Washington, and Waukesha counties; proposed section 

NR 422.143(1)(a) would establish a significantly lower emissions-based applicability 

threshold of 15 pounds per day for all facilities in Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, 

Racine, Sheboygan, Washington, and Waukesha counties, but not facilities located in 

Kewaunee or Manitowoc counties. 

The proposed amendments need to be revised and consolidated into a single rule to 

eliminate confusion over which standards apply to lithographic printing presses and to 

ensure printers and the DNR clearly understand the proposed new emissions-based 

applicability threshold is a substantially lower threshold than currently applied in 

Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Washington, and Waukesha 

counties. 

Response: 

The 15 lbs/day emissions threshold was changed to 3 tons on a 12 month rolling basis. 

The new threshold only triggers solvent cleaning requirements for facilities located within 

the 7 county area, consistent with the CTG, and therefore does not render the existing 

rule’s general applicability threshold of 1,666 lbs/month mute for the 9 county area. 

1
Comment: 

The applicability criteria for lithographic presses in Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, 

Racine, Sheboygan, Washington, and Waukesha counties needs to be expressed as an 

annual actual emission limit, otherwise the rule will force all subject facilities to develop 

and maintain hourly or daily material consumption records in order to determine 

applicability. The variety, combinations, and consumption rate of inks alone would make 

this a costly and burdensome task. 

Response: 

DNR evaluated this comment, and made changes to the proposed rule not only for 

lithographic printing, but for the other RACT categories as well. DNR replaced the 15 

lbs/day applicability thresholds in NR 422.075, NR 422.105, NR 422.115, NR 422.131, 

NR 422.141 and NR 422.143 with the phrase “emissions equal to or exceeding 3 tons on 

a 12 consecutive month rolling basis,.” 

Comment: 

Proposed section NR 422.143(1)(a) establishes work practice requirements for any 

facility in Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Washington, and 

Waukesha counties where actual VOC emissions from lithographic printing presses 

“have ever been greater than 15 lbs/day.” This amendment would subject facilities to the 

rule’s requirements based on historical emissions, not actual VOC emissions. This 

retroactive application of an emissions threshold is not consistent with the US EPA’s 

CTG for Offset Lithographic Printing, which established its applicability thresholds based 

on actual emissions. 

Response: 

DNR revised the proposed rule to replace the phrase “have ever been” with the phrase 

‘which exceed.” 

Comment: 

Proposed section NR 422.143(1)(b) establishes emission limitations for an “owner or 

operator of any heatset web lithographic printing press at a facility in the county of 

Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Washington, or Waukesha.” The 

emission limitations of proposed subsection (3) that are referenced in proposed section 

NR 422.143(1)(b), however, contain limitations for heatset web dryer exhaust as well as 

limitations for heatset web, nonheatset web, and sheet-fed web fountain solutions and 

cleaning materials. The US EPA’s CTG for Offset Lithographic Printing is clear that the 

CTG’s recommendations for fountain solutions and cleaning materials do not apply to 

“any” press or facility as proposed in section 422.143(1)(b). Page 3 of the CTG for Offset 

Lithographic Printing states: 

“In terms of applicability, we recommend that the control recommendations 

discussed in this CTG for cleaning materials and fountain solutions apply to any 

offset lithographic printing operation where the emissions associated with all 

aspects of that operation equal or exceed 6.8 kg/day (15 lb/day) actual emissions 

of VOC, or an equivalent level, before consideration of controls. 

Response: 

We take this to mean there was confusion in the applicability thresholds between NR 

422.142 and proposed NR 422.143. DNR revised the applicability statement for the 

proposed rule NR 422.143 to clarify that fountain solution, blanket and roller wash, and 

2
work practice requirements are triggered at the emission threshold consistent with the 

CTG. 

Comment: 

Existing section 422.142(1)(b) contains emissions factors for calculating VOC emissions 

from lithographic printing presses. While PIW supports the inclusion of these factors in 

the rule, they should be placed in new section 422.142(7). 

Response: 

DNR created new emission calculation subsections in NR 422.142 and proposed NR 

422.143 to address PIW’s concerns. 

Comment: 

Proposed new subsection NR 422.143(2) identifies five rule exemptions that are 

consistent with the US EPA’s CTG for Offset Lithographic Printing. To prevent confusion 

over which exemptions apply to lithographic printing presses and streamline the 

regulation, PIW recommends incorporating new section NR 422.143(2) into the DNR’s 

existing lithographic RACT regulations as amended section NR 422.142(2) and restructuring existing subsections NR 422.142(2) through NR 422.142(6) to be 

subsections NR 422.142(3) through NR 422.142(7). PIW also recommended moving 

existing subsection NR 422.142(2)(c)(2.) into amended subsection NR 422.142(2) 

Response: 

To prevent backsliding, DNR will retain the rule structure as proposed in the hearing 

draft. 

Comment: 

The DNR does not support its claim that the proposed rules will not create a significant 

economic impact, especially for the small businesses that are prevalent in the 

lithographic printing industry. The DNR also does not provide any details on the whether 

they will perform a cost-effectiveness analysis for the add-on control and fountain 

solution control requirements of the rule or if the DNR will rely upon the costeffectiveness analysis contained in the US EPA’s CTG for Offset Lithographic Printing. 

Response: 

DNR will rely on the cost-effectiveness analysis provided in EPA’s CTG. 

Comment: 

The DNR estimates that the total annual cost related to the proposed cleaning 

requirements is $1,485 per printing facility, approximately 1.75 times higher than the cost 

effectiveness for cleaning materials identified in Table 1 on Page 18 of the US EPA’s 

CTG for Offset Lithographic Printing. The DNR does not explain how this higher costeffectiveness does not represent a significant economic impact and should re-evaluate 

the technical feasibility of its proposal. 

Response: 

Based on the US EPA’s CTG, DNR estimated that the cleaning requirements at facilities 

would cost $1,485 per facility, but most of the estimated 26 facilities are likely already 

complying with the rule requirements. DNR feels that for those facilities not already 

complying, the estimated $1,485 is not a substantial burden. 

3
Comment: 

The DNR should not rely upon the add-on control and fountain solution cost-effective 

analysis contained in the US EPA’s 2006 CTG for Offset Lithographic Printing. US EPA 

did not conduct a new economic analysis of the impact of the draft CTG for Offset 

Lithographic Printing and as a result, the impact on small printers is not fully known or 

understood. 

Response: 

DNR will rely on the cost-effectiveness analysis provided in EPA’s CTG. 

Comment: 

New section 422.143(3)(a) establishes dryer exhaust requirements that are not 

consistent with the US EPA’s CTG for Offset Lithographic Printing and need to be 

revised to eliminate confusion over which standards apply to heatset web lithographic 

printing presses. 

This requirement is not consistent with the US EPA CTG for Offset Lithographic Printing, 

which recommends add-on controls for heatset web presses that have emissions greater 

than 25 tpy of VOC emissions from ink oil. 

Response: 

The DNR's proposed language is consistent with the CTG. Proposed language reads as 

follows: 

“On and after May 1, 2010, no owner or operator of a heatset web lithographic 

printing press may operate, or cause, allow or permit the operation of a 

lithographic press that has maximum theoretical emissions of VOCs, from the 

dryer, equal to or greater than 25 tons per year from heatset inks, unless the 

owner or operator installs and operates an emission control device and meets 

the applicable emission limitation as follows...” 

Comment: 

As stated above in comment 1, the DNR’s proposed amendments create two Wis. Adm. 

Code sections which provide different dryer exhaust requirements for heatset web 

lithographic presses in different counties. Existing section NR 422.142(2)(a)(1) 

establishes a 90% control device efficiency for heatset web presses in any facility 

located in Kenosha, Kewaunee, Manitowoc, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, 

Washington, and Waukesha counties; proposed section NR 422.143 (3)(a)(1) would 

establish a 95% control device efficiency for new devices in all facilities except those 

located in Kewaunee or Manitowoc counties. The proposed amendments need to be 

revised to eliminate confusion over which standards apply to lithographic printing 

presses and to reflect that only new presses or oxidizers installed in Kenosha, 

Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Washington, or Waukesha counties after 

May 1, 2010 are required to meet the 95% limit proposed by the DNR. 

Response: 

PIW's comment appears to have misinterpreted the proposed requirements in s. NR 

422.143(3)(a)1. for VOC emission control for dryer exhaust. PIW state that the 95% 

control requirement should only apply to new presses or oxidizers installed in the 7- 

county area after May 1, 2010. The proposed rule, and the recommendation in the CTG, 

bases the required level of control (90% or 95%) on the first installation date of the 

control device only. 

4
Comment: 

Proposed new section NR 422.142(3)(a)(2) establishes a capture efficiency for 

calculating VOC emissions from heatset web lithographic printing presses. While PIW 

supports the inclusion of this factor in the rule, we recommend moving this section to 

PIW recommended section 422.142(7). 

Response: 

DNR will retain the structure of the rule proposed in the hearing draft. 

Comment: 

The proposed amendments should allow for the application of site-specific control limits 

in instances where the proposed limits are economically or technologically infeasible. 

Response: 

A variance procedure already exists in NR 436.05. 

Comment: 

The DNR proposes to modify the term “blanket or roller wash” as defined in NR 

422.02(12) to include other cleaning solvents or solutions used to remove ink, oil, and 

debris from outside the press area or immediately around the press. While PIW supports 

the intent of the modified definition, the use of the term “blanket or roller wash” to 

describe other cleaning solvents used on-press is misleading and may cause confusion 

regarding the requirements of the standard as they apply to blanket wash, roller wash, 

and other cleaning solutions. It should be deleted and replaced with “cleaning solutions.” 

The proposed amendments need to use the term “cleaning solutions” as the operative 

term for the rule to make it clear the rule’s VOC content and vapor pressure limitations 

apply to a cleaning solutions in general and not just blanket and roller washes. 

The EPA’s expansion of the cleaning material requirements to all cleaning solutions in 

2006 resulted in a change in the VOC content limitations from 30% by weight to 70% by 

weight. It is critical the proposed amendments are consistent with this recommendation 

since this change was made to accommodate the VOC content of all cleaning solutions 

used in lithographic printing, not just blanket and roller wash. As the modified definition 

for “blanket or roller wash” also affects existing VOC content limit requirements for 

cleaning materials, the proposed amendments need to revise both the existing and the 

proposed cleaning solution control requirements to reflect EPA’s 70% VOC content and 

10 mm Hg VOC composite vapor pressure recommendations. This would establish the 

same cleaning solution requirements for all presses covered by the lithographic RACT 

rule and eliminate the need for new section NR 422.143(3)(c). 

Response: 

Due to backsliding concerns DNR will retain the limit in the proposed rule. 

To avoid any unintended consequences with using the term “cleaning solutions,” DNR 

did not adopt PIW’s suggestion to change the terminology for “blanket and roller wash.” 

However, DNR did change the definition of blanket and roller wash, which should 

address PIW’s concerns. 

Comment: 

5
Existing section NR 422.142(2)(c)(2.) permits the use of cleaning materials that do not 

meet the control requirements provided the quantity of such materials used in any 12 

consecutive months does not exceed 110 gallons for facilities that do not print on plastic 

or 165 gallons for facilities that do print on plastic. PIW recommends moving this section 

to a newly created section in NR 422,142(2). 

Response: 

DNR will retain the language in the proposed hearing draft. 

Comment: 

To streamline the regulation, PIW recommends incorporating new section NR 

422.143(4) into the cleaning solution requirements of existing section NR 422.142(2)(c) 

and adding new section NR 442.142(2)(c)(2.)(b.) to require used shop towels be kept in 

closed containers.

Response: 

DNR will retain the language in the proposed hearing draft. The proposed language in s. 

NR 42.143(4) requires the storage of used shop towels in closed containers. 

Comment: 

The DNR’s proposed modification to the term “blanket or roller wash” as defined NR 

422.02(12) would render the VOC content and composite partial vapor pressure 

cleaning solution limitations of amended section NR 422.142(4)(c)1. the operative 

requirements for cleaning materials used on subject lithographic presses. Existing 

industrial cleaning operations section NR 423.035(2) contains exemptions for 

lithographic printing operations regulated under NR 422.142(2)(c) and for cleaning 

operations in graphic arts pre-press areas. Neither chapters NR 422 nor NR 423 define 

or provide a reference definition for the term “graphic arts.” The DNR needs [to] reflect 

the re-structuring of section NR 422.142(2)(c) as recommended in comment 5 above 

and exempt lithographic pre-press areas from the industrial cleaning operation rule’s 

requirements. 

The DNR also needs to delete the word “lithographic” from the lithographic and 

letterpress printing components contained in sic [proposed rule] and provide a specific 

exception for lithographic printing from the ultraviolet ink application equipment limit in ... 

Table 1 VOC Content Limits for Solvents and Solvent Solutions Used in Industrial 

Cleaning Operations in order to reflect the modified definition of “blanker or roller wash.” 

Response:

The term "graphic arts" as defined in s. NR 400.02(74), which includes lithography, 

applies to chs. NR 422 and NR 423. 

Cleaning operations associated with lithographic printing are exempt from s. NR 

423.037. DNR modified exemption language in NR 423.037 to clarify this exemption 

Comment: 

The DNR also needs to exempt lithographic pre-press areas from the proposed new 

industrial cleaning operation requirements in NR 423.037. The DNR also needs to delete 

the word “lithographic” from the lithographic and letterpress printing components 

contained in sic [proposed rule] and provide a specific exception for lithographic printing 

from the ultraviolet ink application equipment limit in ... Table 1 VOC Content Limits for 

6
Solvents and Solvent Solutions Used in Industrial Cleaning Operations of proposed new 

section NR 422.037 in order to reflect the modified definition of “blanker or roller wash.” 

Response:

Cleaning operations associated with lithographic printing are exempt from s. NR 

423.037. DNR modified the exemption language in NR 423.037 to clarify this exemption. 

Comment: 

Proposed new section NR 422.143(6)(a)1. requires records of control device monitoring 

data in accordance with NR 439.055, which requires temperature monitoring in both the 

primary chamber and afterburner of an incinerator. This dual monitoring requirement is 

unnecessary as only the oxidizer operating temperature is needed to determine normal 

operations. Also, the term “incinerator” should be replaced with “oxidizer” as it is more 

accurate. The proposed amendments also need to include temperature monitoring 

requirements for catalytic oxidizer systems. It is not necessary to measure the 

temperature difference across the catalyst bed in these systems as this temperature 

difference is not indicative of normal operation. While this may be a common monitoring 

requirement for other industries, it is one that does not provide meaningful data on a 

consistent basis. The primary reason is due to the large variations in coverage 

experienced on a per job and daily basis. The coverage will dictate the amount of ink 

that will be required to be used to produce a job and since ink accounts for more than 

95% of stack VOC emissions, the temperature rise across the catalytic bed will 

continuously fluctuate and the fluctuations can be very dramatic. The printing industry 

has had extensive discussions with US EPA on this issue and US EPA has accepted the 

fact that the change in temperature does not provide meaningful results. This is the 

reason why this requirement does not appear in the CTG for Offset Lithographic Printing 

or any of US EPA’s recent guidance documents or Maximum Available Control 

Technology rules for printing operations. The rule should only require the temperature in 

a catalytic oxidizer system to be monitored upstream of the catalyst bed. Page D-18 of 

the US EPA’s TSD for Title V Permitting of Printing Facilities states: “Typically, the 

temperature at the inlet to the catalyst chamber (bed) is used to monitor and control the 

oxidizer operation. Most catalytic oxidation systems are set up to measure both the inlet 

and outlet temperatures of the catalyst chamber. While the differential temperature 

across the catalyst does provide an indication of catalyst activity, it does not provide a 

quantifiable indication of the efficiency of the system for operations subject to variable 

VOC loading, as in some elements of the printing/flexible packaging industry. The 

primary purpose of the outlet temperature measurement is for protection of the catalyst 

from overheating. Inlet operating temperatures are based on catalyst manufacturer’s 

recommendations and are proven through compliance emissions testing.” 

Therefore, new section NR 422.143(6)(a) should be deleted, existing paragraph 

422.142(4) renumbered to be NR 422.142(5), and section NR 422.142(5)(a) revised to 

read: 

(a) The owner or operator of a heatset web lithographic printing press that is subject to 

the VOC control device requirements of sub. (3)(a) of this rule shall: 

1. Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate temperature monitoring and recording 

equipment which shall: 

a. For catalytic oxidizer control systems, the temperature monitoring and recording 

equipment shall monitor the gas temperature upstream of the catalyst bed at least once 

every fifteen minutes by an analog or digital recording device. The catalyst bed material 

shall be inspected annually for general catalyst condition and any signs of potential 

7
catalyst depletion. The permittee shall also collect a representative sample of the 

catalyst from the oxidizer, per manufacturer's recommendations, and have it tested to 

evaluate the catalyst's capability to continue to function at or above the required control 

efficiency. An evaluation of the catalyst bed material shall be conducted whenever the 

results of the inspection indicate signs of potential catalyst depletion or poor catalyst 

condition based on manufacturer's recommendations, but not less than once per year. 

b. For thermal and regenerative oxidizer control systems, the temperature monitoring 

and recording equipment shall monitor and record the oxidize operating temperature at 

least once every fifteen minutes. 

c. The temperature to be monitored by subd. (1)(a) and (1)(b) above shall be established 

during testing required to demonstrate compliance with the emission standard in section 

(3)(a) of this rule. The temperature shall be computed as the time-weighted average of 

the temperature values recorded during the test. The facility must maintain the oxidizer 

at a 3- hour average temperature no less than 50°F below the average temperature 

observed during the most recent stack test to demonstrate continuous compliance. 

Temperature monitoring is required only when a connected press is operational. 

Response: 

Most of PIWs proposed revisions are already contained in our current rule language 

under NR 422.142(4)(a)1., NR 439.055(1)(d), NR 439.055(2)(a) and NR 439.055(2)(b). 

Our proposed language under NR 422.143(6)(a)1. is similar to the existing NR 

422.142(4)(a)) aside from the NR 439.055 reference. This reference is automatically 

included in any permit required to monitor a control device. 

To limit any unintended consequences with the proposed rule, the Department did not 

change the term “incinerator” to “oxidizer.” 

A 3-hour temperature average is utilized in a test to demonstrate compliance with permit 

limits. 

Comment: 

For cleaning solution requirements, the proposed amendments need to reflect the use of 

the term “cleaning solutions” instead of “blanket and roller wash” and incorporate the US 

EPA’s recommendations for VOC composite partial vapor pressure limitations.

Response: 

DNR changed the definition of blanket and roller wash to reflect the concept presented in 

PIW’s comment. 

Comment: 

Existing section NR 422.142(5)(c) and (5)(d) specify Method 24 and ASTM D2879-97 as 

the test methods for determining the VOC content of lithographic inks, fountain solutions, 

and cleaning solvents and the VOC component vapor pressure of cleaning solutions, 

respectively. Proposed section NR 422.143 also lists Method 24 (NR 422.143(7)(c)) as 

the compliance test method for VOC content, but does not provide a method to 

determine the VOC composite partial vapor pressure of cleaning solutions. In addition, 

the rule needs to allow the use of a material balance calculation to demonstrate 

compliance with the VOC content and composite partial vapor pressure limits of the rule. 

Some small presses do not require diluting fountain solution mixtures or cleaning 

solutions with water. In these instances where no dilution occurs, the as-applied VOC 

content of the non-diluted solution would be readily available from the product’s supplier 

8
or Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Thus, the proposed amendments also need to 

permit the use of supplier provided Method 24 data to demonstrate compliance. 

Response: 

It has been the DNR's policy to allow manufacturer supplied MSDS or formulation data 

to be used to establish material VOC content. However, when a test is required by the 

DNR, the results of the test outweigh any VOC content determination based on MSDS or 

formulation data. 

ASTM D2879-97 was specified in s. NR 422.142(5)(d) because the limit was on an 

individual VOC component basis. The proposed rule changes that to a VOC composite 

partial vapor pressure, and creates a definition for that term. The definition includes 2 

equations for calculating the composite pressure. DNR assumes that these equations 

would be adequate to determine the composite pressure. 

Comment: 

Comments related to emission calculation. 

A. Ink Oil Retention 

Heatset Inks – We recommend using a 20 percent VOC retention factor for petroleum 

ink oils and a 100 percent retention factor for vegetable ink oils in heatset inks. The VOC 

emissions, before consideration of any control, from a heatset ink would therefore be 80 

percent of the petroleum ink oil content. The petroleum ink oil content of a heatset ink 

can be determined from formulation data (e.g., technical data sheet or material safety 

data sheet). We believe that a Method 24 test of a heatset ink will volatilize the 

petroleum ink oils and will not volatilize the vegetable ink oils. 

Sheet-fed and coldset web inks - We recommend using a 95 percent VOC retention 

factor for petroleum ink oils and a 100 percent retention factor for vegetable ink oils in 

sheet-fed and coldset web inks. The VOC emissions from a sheet-fed or coldset web ink 

would therefore be 5 percent of the petroleum ink oil content. The petroleum ink oil 

content of a sheet-fed or coldset web ink can be determined from formulation data (e.g., 

technical data sheet or material safety data sheet). We believe that an EPA Method 24 

test of a sheet-fed or coldset web ink will volatilize the petroleum ink oils and will not 

volatilize the vegetable ink oils. The ASTM method D6419 (Standard Test Method for 

Volatile Content of Sheet-Fed and Coldset Web Offset Printing Inks) is a more precise 

method for determining the volatile (petroleum ink oil) content of sheet-fed and coldest 

web inks than ASTM D2369 which is referenced in EPA Method 24. 

B. Retention of Low VOC Composite Vapor Pressure Cleaning Materials in Shop Towels 

We recommend using a 50 percent VOC retention factor for low VOC composite vapor 

pressure cleaning materials in shop towels where (1) VOC composite vapor pressure of 

the cleaning material is less than 10 mm Hg at 20 oC, and (2) cleaning materials and 

used shop towels are kept in closed containers. 

C. Carryover of VOC from Automatic Blanket Wash and Fountain Solution to Offset 

Lithographic Heatset Dryers 

We recommend using a 40 percent VOC carryover (capture) factor for automatic blanket 

washing when the VOC composite vapor pressure of the cleaning material is less than 

10mm Hg at 20°C. We recommend using a 70 percent VOC carryover (capture) factor 

for alcohol substitutes in fountain solution. 

9
D. Capture of Petroleum Ink Oil in Heatset Dryers 

For heatset web offset lithographic presses and heatset web letterpress presses, we 

believe capture efficiency for VOC (petroleum ink oils) from oil based paste inks and 

oilbased paste varnishes (coatings) can be demonstrated by showing that the dryer is 

operating at negative pressure relative to the surrounding pressroom. We recommend 

that as long as the dryer is operated at negative pressure, the capture efficiency for VOC 

from the heatset lithographic inks and varnishes (coatings) formulated with low volatility 

ink oils can be assumed to be 100 percent of the VOC (ink oils) volatilized in the dryer. 

We do not recommend conducting a capture efficiency test in this situation. 

Conventional heatset lithographic inks and varnishes are paste-type materials. The VOC 

in these materials are oils with high boiling points, which volatilize only within the dryer. 

Some ink oils, nominally 20 percent, are not volatilized and remain in the substrate. If 

other types (e.g., fluid type) of coating materials are used on a heatset lithographic press 

or a heatset letterpress press, we recommend that capture efficiency testing be 

conducted for the VOC from these other materials if the printer wants to take into 

account the effect that the dryer controls have on VOC emissions from these other types 

of coatings. The most common other types of coatings materials used on heatset 

presses are waterbased or radiation (ultra-violet light or electron beam) cured materials 

which generate minimal VOC emissions.” PIW recommends inserting new section 

422.142(7) to the proposed amendments. The recommended section will clarify the 

methodology for estimating actual emissions in the lithographic printing industry, saving 

administrative time and costs for both the DNR and the lithographic printing industry. 

The recommended section should read as follows: 

(7) Retention Factors and Capture Efficiencies 

(a) For purposes of determining VOC emissions from offset lithographic printing 

operations, the following retention factors and capture efficiencies shall be used: 

1. A portion of the VOC contained in inks and cleaning solution is retained in the 

printed web or in the shop towels used for cleaning. The following retention 

factors shall be used: 

a. A 20% VOC retention factor shall be used for heatset inks printed on 

absorptive substrates, meaning 80% of the VOC in the ink is emitted during 

the printing process and is available for capture and control by an add-on 

pollution control device. 

b. A 95% VOC retention factor shall be used for sheet-fed and non-heatset 

web inks printed on absorptive substrates, meaning 5% of the VOC in the 

ink is emitted during the printing process. 

c. A 50% VOC retention factor shall be used for cleaning solution VOC in 

shop towels for cleaning solutions with a VOC composite vapor pressure of 

no more than 10 mm of mercury (Hg) at 20°C (68°F) if the contaminated 

shop towels are kept in closed containers, meaning 50% of the VOC used 

on the shop towels is emitted during the cleaning process. 

2. A portion of the VOC contained in inks, fountain solutions, and automatic 

blanket washes on heatset presses is captured in the press dryer for control by 

add-on pollution control devices. The following capture efficiencies are to be 

used: 

a. A 100% VOC carry over efficiency shall be used for inks. All the VOC in the 

ink that is not retained is assumed to be volatilized in the press dryer. 

Capture efficiency testing for heatset dryers is not required if it is 

demonstrated that pressure in the dryer is negative relative to the 

surrounding press room and the airflow is into the dryer. 

10
b. A 70% VOC carry over efficiency shall be used for fountain solutions 

containing alcohol substitutes. 

c. A 40% VOC carry over efficiency shall to be used for automatic blanket 

wash solutions with a VOC composite vapor pressure of no more than 10 

mm of mercury (Hg) at 20°C (68°F). 

Response: 

DNR created new emission calculation subsections in NR 422.142 and proposed NR 

422.143 to address PIW’s concerns. 

Comments: 

PIW recommends adding or amending the following definitions in NR 422.02 in order to 

clarify the applicability and compliance requirements of the rulemaking in regards to the 

lithographic printing industry: 

Alcohol - Any of the following compounds, when used as a fountain solution additive for 

offset lithographic printing: ethanol, n-propanol, and isopropanol. 

Alcohol Substitutes - Nonalcohol additives that contain VOCs and are used in the 

fountain solution. Some additives are used to reduce the surface tension of water; others 

are added to prevent piling (ink build-up). 

Cleaning Material – With respect to a surface coating operation or graphic arts 

operation, a liquid solvent or solution used to clean the operating surfaces of a printing 

press and its parts. For purposes of this standard, cleaning solutions include, but are not 

limited to blanket wash, roller wash, metering roller cleaner, plate cleaner, impression 

cylinder washes, rubber rejuvenators, and other cleaners used for cleaning a press, 

press parts, or to remove dried ink or coating from areas around the press. 

Dampening System - Equipment used to deliver the fountain solution to the lithographic 

plate. 

Fountain Solution - A mixture of water and other volatile and non-volatile chemicals and 

additives used in lithographic printing operations that maintains the quality of the printing 

plate including preventing debris build up (e.g., spray power, paper fiber, coating 

particles, dried ink particles, and other materials), and increases viscosity and reduces 

the surface tension of the water so that it spreads easily across the printing plate 

surface. The fountain solution wets the nonimage area so that the ink is maintained 

within the image areas. Non-volatile additives include mineral salts and hydrophilic 

gums. Alcohol and alcohol substitutes are the most common VOC additives used to 

reduce the surface tension of the fountain solution. 

Fountain Solution Batch – A supply of fountain solution that is prepared and used 

without alteration until completely used or removed from the printing process. For the 

purposes of this rule, this term may apply to solutions prepared in either discrete batches 

or solutions that are continuously blended with automatic mixing units. 

Fountain Solution Reservoir - The collection tank that accepts fountain solution 

recirculated from printing unit(s). In some cases, the tanks are equipped with cooling 

coils for refrigeration of the fountain solution. 

Heatset - A lithographic printing process where the printing inks are set by the 

evaporation of the ink oils in a heatset dryer. 

Heatset Dryer - A hot air dryer used in heatset lithography to heat the printed substrate 

and to promote the evaporation of ink oils. 

Inking System - A series of rollers used to meter ink onto the lithographic plate. The 

system can include agitators, pumps, totes, and other types of ink containers. 

Lithographic printing or lithographic printing operation - A planographic printing process 

where the image and nonimage areas are chemically differentiated; the image area is oil 

11
receptive and the nonimage area is water receptive. This method differs from other 

printing methods, where the image is typically printed from a raised or recessed surface. 

A lithographic printing operation includes, but is not limited to, a heatset web lithographic 

printing operation, a coldset web offset lithographic printing operation, and a sheet-fed 

offset lithographic printing operation. 

Non-heatset Lithographic Printing - A lithographic printing process where the printing 

inks are set by absorption and/or oxidation of the ink oil, not by evaporation of the ink 

oils in a dryer. Use of an infrared heater or printing conducted using ultraviolet-cured or 

electron beam-cured inks is considered non-heatset. 

Offset Lithography- A printing process that transfers the ink film from the lithographic 

plate to an intermediary surface (blanket), which, in turn, transfers the ink film to the 

substrate. 

Press - A printing production assembly composed of one or more units used to produce 

a printed substrate including any associated coating, spray powder application, heatset 

web dryer, ultraviolet or electron beam curing units, or infrared heating units. 

Sheet-fed Lithographic Printing- means a non-heatset lithographic printing process 

where individual sheets of substrate are fed into the press sequentially. 

Unit - The smallest complete printing component, composed of inking and dampening 

systems, of a printing press. 

VOC Composite Partial Vapor Pressure - The sum of the partial pressure of the 

compounds defined as VOCs. 

Response: 

A number of the suggested definitions are not used in the proposed rule or are already 

defined and therefore, are not included in the proposed rule. Only definitions of 

“Fountain Solution Reservoir" and “VOC Composite Partial Vapor Pressure” were added. 

Comments from WMC

Comment: 

WMC made several comments unrelated to the proposed rule as follows: 

• That the DNR should submit these rules to US EPA without delay. 

• The nonattainment area boundaries are flawed due to the use of the Chiwaukee 

Prairie monitor as the design site for the Milwaukee metro area. 

• The DNR must seek to redesignate the ozone nonattainment areas to 

attainment as quickly as possible. 

• State laws require that air quality standards may not be more stringent than the 

federal standards. 

Response: 

• DNR is working to adopt the rules as quickly as possible. 

• The RACT rules are required in moderate ozone nonattainment areas. The 

proposed rules are only effective in those areas. The issue of the Chiwaukee 

Prairie monitor should be addressed in the context of designating ozone 

nonattainment areas for 2008 8-hour standard. 

• DNR is working as quickly as possible to develop a redesignation request that 

EPA will find complete. 

• WMC’s comment on the air quality standards is irrelevant, since the statute 

clearly addresses standards promulgated under Section 109 of the Clean Air Act. 

12
RACT rules are not air quality standards and are required under Section 182 of 

the Clean Air Act. 

Comment: 

DNR is applying RACT rules to counties that are in attainment with the standard. 

Response: 

The proposed rules only apply in the 7 counties designated as moderate ozone 

nonattainment areas. 

Comment: 

Change NR 422.04(1) to allow monthly averaging for compliance rather than daily 

averaging. 

Response: 

WMC proposes to make a change to a rule that is not germane to the proposed rule. 

Additionally, a relaxation of this rule is not allowed under the anti-backsliding provisions 

of the federal Clean Air Act. 

Comments form SGIA

Comment: 

Regulation of solvent usage under NR 422.145(2)(d) and NR 423.037 will result in 

conflicting regulatory language and duplicative requirements for screen reclamation for 

all screen printing facilities operating in the counties of Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, 

Racine, Sheboygan, Washington and Waukesha. 

Response: 

When screen reclamation is regulated under.NR 422.145(2)(d), it isn’t regulated under s. 

NR 423.037. Screen reclamation isn’t ever regulated under both NR 422.145(2)(d) and 

NR 423.037. NR 423.037 is constructed to implement all recommended exclusions from 

US EPA’s Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) for industrial cleaning solvents and to 

avoid any potential backsliding. The regulatory language and reporting requirements 

remain essentially unchanged in NR 423.037. 

Comment: 

“In 2010, the new industrial solvent cleaning requirements will apply to all facilities with 

emissions from industrial solvent cleaning operations of 15 pounds or more per day. This 

will result in duplicative regulatory requirements for all screen printing facilities operating 

in the counties of Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Washington and 

Waukesha. Due to this duplication, we disagree with the DNR’s assertion that there will 

be minimal economic impact on the small business community. Facilities subject to both 

regulations will be required to keep two distinct set of records, as well as incur 

duplicative, and often, contradictory, permitting requirements.” 

Response: 

In proposed NR 423.037, the threshold of 15 lb/day of actual uncontrolled emissions is 

drawn directly from EPA’s CTG for industrial cleaning solvents. Note that this threshold 

has been changed to the annual equivalent of 3 tons per year of actual uncontrolled 

emissions in response to a previous comment. If cleaning operations at screen printing 

13
facilities are not regulated under NR 422.145(2)(d), they may be regulated under NR 

423. This structure has not changed by the addition of NR 423.037. 

The screen printing VOC content limits in Table 1 that appear in NR 423.037 are the 

same as the limits that exist in NR 423.035. These are the limits that were negotiated 

between the DNR, Serigraph Inc. and Specialty Graphic Imaging Association (SGIA) 

during the development of NR 423.035. These limits were established as reasonable 

through these negotiations. 

 

Comment: 

SGIA recommends that NR 422.145(2)(d), screen reclamation, be repealed when NR 

423.037 becomes effective. 

Response: 

The proposed rule does not apply to NR 422.145(2)(d). Therefore, repeal of NR 

422.145(2)(d) would constitute back-sliding and is not allowed under the federal Clean 

Air Act. 

Comment: 

SGIA recommended that the following definition be added to NR 423.02: 

Screen reclamation - means the removal of the stencil or of residual ink or 

coating from the screen mesh or fabric after excess ink or coating has been 

removed from the screen or fabric.” 

Response: 

The term “screen reclamation” is not used in ch. NR 423. Consequently, the addition of 

this definition to ch. NR 423 would not provide any clarification. 

 

Comments from EPA

Comment 

EPA made the follow comment related to the printing and coating sections of the 

proposed rule: “Wisconsin's draft work practices appear less effective and do not match 

up with the cleaning material work practices in the CTG.” 

Response: 

The CTG's developed by EPA for the source categories addressed by this rule are not 

consistent with regard to the recommended work practice requirements. The Department 

compared the CTGs for the coating categories and revised the rule to include consistent 

work practices in each coating category that reflect reasonable and appropriate 

requirements. 

Comment: 

EPA indicated that there were no specific record keeping requirements in NR 439.04(3) 

to determine whether the 3 tons on a 12 consecutive month rolling basis is exceeded. 

Response: 

The Department disagrees with this comment. NR 439.04(3) requires sources to keep 

adequate records to support each exemption claim. If a source wants to claim an 

exemption from emission limits, the Department expects that the source would keep the 

14
necessary records to support their claim. The Department feels it is not necessary to 

specify those record keeping requirements in the proposed rule. 

Comment: 

EPA suggested a minor language change on the metal furniture, large appliance and 

flatwood panel portions of the proposed rule The phrase "related cleaning activities" is 

more specific than and should replace "the associated activities.” 

Response: 

The Department did not make the minor language change, since the proposed rule 

language was more comprehensive than EPA’s suggested change. 

Comment: 

EPA suggested a table of compliance alternatives be added to the proposed rule. 

Response: 

The Department did not add the compliance alternatives table. Those alterative 

compliance measures are already covered in our existing rules. 

 

Comment: 

EPA indicates that the applicability statement for lithographic printing should be 

expanded to include letterpress printing. 

Response: 

The Department has previously sent a negative declaration to EPA indicating that there 

are no letterpress printers in the affected area that are major sources. Since EPA 

accepted that negative declaration, it is not necessary to establish RACT for letterpress 

printing by rule. The Department therefore did not make the suggested change. 

Comment: 

EPA made the following detailed comments related to lithographic printing: 

1. The first sentence in (a) should be expanded to "...including related 

lithographic cleaning and fountain solution activities..." 

2. (c) & (d) - The exemptions for the printing of books on a heatset lithographic 

press and heatset lithographic presses with a maximum web width of 22 

inches should only be from the add-on control requirements of (3)(a). 

3. (a) & (b) - should be "...20 ppmv as hexane on a dry basis." 

Response: 

The Department revised the rule to address EPA comments in 1 and 2 above. DNR did 

not change the rule for measurement of VOC in 3 above, since the Department believes 

the proposed rule accurately describes the measurement of VOC from these processes. 

Comment: 

EPA commented that the basis for the exemptions in the solvent cleaning portion of the 

proposed rule must be justified, especially those limits that exceed 0.42 lb/gal of VOC. 

Response: 

The VOC content limits exceeding the generally recommended CTG VOC content limit 

of 0.42 lb/gal can be broken into two categories: those matching South Coast Air Quality 

Management District (SCAQMD)'s Rule 1171 (Solvent Cleaning Operations) VOC 

15
content limits and those established through negotiation with industry during the 

development of the first solvent cleaning RACT rule (NR 423.035). Some of the nonwater based limits drawn from SCAQMD were not current with latest version of 

SCAQMD's Rule 1171 amended on 2/1/08. The Department revised the VOC content 

limits for the following source categories: 

• "Electrical apparatus components and electronic components" (subd. 

NR423.037(3)(a)2. and subd. NR423.037(3)(b)2.), 

• "Cleaning of coatings application equipment or adhesives application 

equipment...General" (subd. NR423.037(3)(c)1.), 

• "Rotogravure printing - publication" (subd. NR423.037(3)(d)3.) and 

• "Ultraviolet ink application equipment..." (subd. NR423.037(3)(d)6.) 

The Department set realistic and achievable VOC content limits in NR423.035 through 

lengthy negotiations with industry. The following limits were set in such a manner: 

• "Laminated wood products" (subd. NR423.037(3)(a)3), 

• "Screen printing" (subd. NR423.037(3)(a)5., subd. NR423.037(3)(b)4. and 

subd. NR423.037(3)(d)5.), 

• "Architectural coatings" (subd. NR423.037(3)(c)2.), 

• "Ultraviolet coatings" (subd. NR423.037(3)(c)3.), 

• "Flexographic printing - excluding packaging" (subdpar. NR423.037(3)(d)2.b.) 

and 

• "Letterpress printing" (subdpar. NR423.037(3)(d)4.a.) 

The Department believes that no further rule changes are needed to address source 

categories where VOC content limits were negotiated with affected sources. The 

Department will provide further justification for the exemptions to EPA when the rule is 

submitted for their approval.

AM-19-08 

Analysis Prepared by the Department of Natural Resources

1. Statute interpreted: Section 285.11(1) and (6), Stats. The State Implementation Plan developed under 

s. 285.11(6), Stats., is revised. 

2. Statutory authority: Section 285.11(6), Stats. 

3. Explanation of agency authority: The Department has the authority to develop, revise and implement 

comprehensive plans for the prevention, abatement and control of air pollution. These plans, which may 

include rules and/or control strategies, must conform to the Federal Clean Air Act. Measures beyond 

those required by the Clean Air Act may be included, provided the Governor determines that additional 

measures are needed based on the recommendations of the Natural Resources Board or a Department 

head that promulgates a rule or establishes a control strategy. However, measures beyond those required 

by the Clean Air Act must meet at least one of the following criteria: 

a. The measures are part an interstate ozone implementation agreement signed by the governors of 

Wisconsin and Illinois. 

b. The measures are necessary to comply with the air pollution percentage reductions specified for 

reasonable further progress in the Clean Air Act. 

4. Related statute or rule: Several of the proposed rule revisions correspond to the source categories 

covered under the existing VOC rule provisions. The following is a list of the proposed rules and source 

categories followed [in brackets] by the corresponding existing rule provision: 

NR 422.075: paper coating [422.07].

NR 422.105: furniture metal coating [422.10]. 

NR 422.115: large appliance coating [422.11].

NR 422.131: flatwood panel coating [422.13].

NR 422.141: graphic arts [422.14]. 

NR 422.143: lithographic printing [422.142]. 

NR 423.037: industrial cleaning operations [423.035].

5. Plain language analysis:

Under Sec. 182(b)(2) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Department is required to update its VOC 
2

Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) regulations when EPA issues updated Control 

Techniques Guidelines (CTG) for RACT categories. These rules apply in Wisconsin’s seven moderate 

ozone nonattainment counties (Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Washington and 

Waukesha). More specific information is provided below. 

NR 422.075: 

This rule applies VOC control to paper, film and foil coating lines, and solvent cleaning work practices. The 

rule applies new limits based on mass of VOC per mass of coating solids applied to individual coating 

lines emitting 25 tons per year VOC (maximum theoretical emissions) from the coating applicators and 

drying ovens. Paper coating lines include lines coating film and foil substrates in a uniform manner. The 

solvent cleaning work practices portion of the rule applies to facilities with VOC emissions equal to or 

greater than 3 tons on a 12 consecutive month rolling basis from all coating lines and related coating 

cleaning activities at the facility. The rule requires coating line operations to achieve a 90% VOC control 

efficiency through installation of VOC control devices and/or use of compliant coatings based on VOC 

content. The rule also addresses storage and disposal requirements, control requirements, recordkeeping, 

compliance testing, and certification testing. Requirements in NR 422.07 continue to apply to facilities 

currently covered by that section. 

NR 422.105, NR 422.115, NR 422.131: 

These rules apply VOC control to metal furniture coating, large appliance coating, flat wood panel coating 

and associated solvent cleaning work practices. The rules require application of new coating limits by 

coating type based on mass of VOC per volume of non-water coating as applied, exempt specific coating 

operations, establish a companion control requirement to utilize specific application techniques, and 

specify solvent cleaning work practices. The rules apply to facilities with VOC emissions equal to or 

exceeding 3 tons on a 12 consecutive month rolling basis. The rules require coating line operations to 

achieve a 90% VOC control efficiency through installation of VOC control devices and/or use of compliant 

coatings based on VOC content. The rules also address storage and disposal requirements, control 

requirements, recordkeeping, compliance testing, and certification testing. Requirements in NR 422.10, 

NR 422.11, NR 422.13 continue to apply to facilities currently covered by those sections. 

 

NR 422.141: 

This rule applies VOC control to large flexible package printing presses, and associated solvent cleaning 

work practices. The rule applies to individual large presses emitting 25 tons per year of VOC (maximum 

theoretical emissions) from inks, coatings and adhesives, combined, from the press dryer. Sources may 

choose to reduce VOC emissions from large individual presses by either installing control systems or 

accepting VOC content limits for inks, coatings and adhesives. The solvent cleaning work practices portion 

of the rule applies to facilities with VOC emissions equal to or exceeding 3 tons on a 12 consecutive 

month rolling basis from all flexible package printing presses and related flexible package cleaning 

activities at the facility. The regulation addresses flexible package printing operations through the 

installation of VOC control devices, and storage and disposal requirements. Requirements in NR 422.14 

continue to apply to facilities currently covered by that section. 

NR 422.143: 

This rule applies VOC control to lithographic printing presses emitting 25 tons per year of VOC (maximum 

theoretical emissions) from heatset inks from the press dryer. The rule contains emission limitation 

exemptions for: up to 110 gallons of blanket or roller wash on a 12-consecutive month rolling basis, sheetfed presses with a maximum sheet size of up to 11 inches by 17 inches, any lithographic press with a total 

fountain solution reservoir of less than one gallon, the printing of books on a heatset lithographic press, 

and heatset lithographic presses with a maximum web width of up to 22 inches. The rule also contains 

fountain solution VOC content limits for heatset, non-heatset, sheet-fed presses, and blanket or roller 

wash. The solvent cleaning work practices portion of the rule applies to facilities with VOC emissions 

equal to or exceeding 3 tons on a 12 consecutive month rolling basis from all lithographic printing presses 
3

and related lithographic cleaning activities at the facility. The rule also addresses storage and disposal 

requirements, temperature monitoring requirements, control requirements, recordkeeping requirements, 

compliance testing, and certification testing requirements. Requirements in NR 422.142 continue to 

apply to facilities currently covered by that section. 

NR 423.037: 

This rule applies VOC controls to industrial cleaning operations at facilities with VOC emissions equal to or 

exceeding 3 tons on a 12 consecutive month rolling basis from industrial cleaning operations. The rule 

limits emissions by establishing solvent and solvent solution requirements, cleaning device and methods 

requirements, storage and disposal requirements, and recordkeeping requirements. Some industrial 

cleaning operations are regulated under industry specific RACT rules such as lithographic printers and 

large appliance manufacturers. Requirements in NR 423.035 continue to apply to facilities currently 

covered by that section. 

6. Summary of, and comparison with, existing or proposed federal regulation: 

The Clean Air Act requires the Department to update existing VOC RACT rules when EPA issues an 

updated CTG. The rules for paper, film and foil coating, flat wood panel coating, furniture metal coating, 

large appliance coating, flexible package printing, lithographic printing, and industrial cleaning operations 

are based directly on the EPA CTGs. The rules regulate VOC emissions from individual printing and 

coating lines with emissions above specified thresholds as well as regulating VOC cleaning solvent work 

practices. 

7. Comparison with similar rules in adjacent states (Illinois, Iowa, Michigan and Minnesota):

Illinois and Michigan are in the same position as Wisconsin regarding potentially deficient VOC RACT 

rules and they need to update their rules to reflect recently updated CTGs. Both states had previously 

adopted VOC RACT for the categories of sources subject to this rulemaking where such sources existed 

in their ozone nonattainment areas. Neither state has issued proposed new or updated regulations, but 

both are on a schedule to incorporate the required VOC RACT updates within their ozone SIPs. 

Minnesota and Iowa do not have designated ozone nonattainment areas and are not deficient in regard to 

VOC RACT. 

8. Summary of factual data and analytical methodologies used and how any related findings 

support the regulatory approach chosen: 

The new paper, film and foil coating rule, the new furniture metal coating rule, and the new large appliance 

coating rule are based on the 2007 EPA CTGs for these categories. The new flexible package printing 

rule, the new lithographic printing rule, the new flatwood panel coating rule and the new industrial cleaning 

operations rule are based on the 2006 EPA CTGs for these source categories. All the recommended 

control measures in the CTGs are incorporated into the new rules. Retention of existing RACT limitations 

for these categories prevents backsliding. Some industrial cleaning operations will be regulated under 

industry specific RACT rules for lithographic printing; flexible package printing; flat wood paneling 

coatings; paper film and foil coatings; large appliance coatings; and metal furniture coatings. 

9. Analysis and supporting documents used to determine the effect on small business or in 

preparation of an economic impact report: 

NR 422.075: 

The control requirements for individual large paper, film and foil coating lines will not impact small 

businesses. EPA established the number of affected facilities by surveys with consideration of state 

emission reporting and inventory estimates. Estimated cost per unit VOC reduced is provided by EPA in 

the CTG document. 
4

An economic impact report was not requested. 

NR 422.105: NR 422.115: NR 422.131: 

The control requirements for large metal furniture coating lines, large appliance coating lines and flatwood 

panel coating lines will not impact small businesses as these activities are already regulated for the facility 

threshold scale proposed. The coating activities and limits and control requirements reflect current 

industry coating types and application practices. EPA established the number of affected facilities by 

surveys with consideration of state emission reporting and inventory estimates. Estimated cost per unit 

VOC reduced is provided by EPA in the CTG document. 

An economic impact report was not requested. 

NR 422.141: NR 422.143: 

The control requirements for individual large printing flexible package printing presses and large 

lithographic packaging printing presses will not impact small businesses, since these large presses are not 

used by small businesses. 

The solvent cleaning work practices are considered standard industrial practice. Most, if not all, facilities 

already perform good solvent cleaning work practices. The proposed rule establishes those standard work 

practices as requirements. 

An economic impact report was not requested. 

NR 423:037: 

The control requirements for industrial cleaning operations will not impact small businesses. The many 

solvent cleaning work practices are considered standard industrial practice. Most, if not all, facilities 

already perform good solvent cleaning work practices. 

An economic impact report has not been requested. 

10. Effect on small business: 

These regulations will have a minimal economic cost to individual small businesses, because the major 

control requirements apply only to large facilities. Additionally, solvent cleaning work practices are 

considered standard industrial practice, therefore it is anticipated that most businesses affected by these 

rules are already implementing the requirements. More specific cost estimates are provided below.

NR 422.075: 

 

Through industry surveys EPA has estimated that no more than 7 facilities may be regulated in the large 

paper, foil and film coating category (inclusive of fabric and vinyl coaters regulated under NR 422.08 in 

Wisconsin nonattainment counties. A smaller number meet the 25 ton/coating line regulatory threshold. 

EPA estimated the national average cost of this RACT control as $1180/ton VOC ($2005). 

NR 422.105: 

EPA estimated through prior survey work accomplished as background for the federal NESHAP that 

only143 facilities operate within ozone nonattainment areas nationwide. Comparative statistics suggest 

less than a dozen furniture metal coating facilities operate in Wisconsin’s nonattainment area. EPA 

estimated the national average cost of this coating RACT control as $1670/ton VOC ($2005) with the 

incremental cost of the new coating limits and application practice requirements as $200/ton ($2005). 

NR 422.115: 
5

For large appliance coating, EPA estimated the national average cost of this coating RACT control at 

$500/ton VOC ($2006). 

NR 422.131: 

Through industry surveys, EPA has estimated that only 1 facility is likely to be regulated for flatwood panel 

coating in Wisconsin nonattainment counties. EPA estimated the national average cost of this coating 

RACT control as $1900/ton VOC ($2005) for interior and tileboard panels and $2600/ton VOC ($2005) for 

exterior siding. 

NR422.141: NR 422.143: 

EPA estimates that the total annual cost related to the cleaning requirements per small lithographic and 

flexible package printing facilities is approximately $1,485 (2005 dollars).

NR 422.04 Methods of compliance. (1) IN-Um AVERAGING. Compliance with the emission limitations of this chapter

may be achieved through a daily volume-weighted average of all

coatings or inks applied by emission units in a process line subject

to the same numerical emission limitation. Any owner or operator

achieving compliance by means of this subsection shall comply

with the reporting requirements of s. NR 439.03 (7) and the

recordkeeping requirements of s. NR 439.04 (5) (g).

limitation, excluding water; applied during any day on the printing

line in liters (gallons)

(c) An owner or operator of a coating or printing line subject

to an emission limitation in this chapter not specified in par. (a) or

(b) may comply by means of this subsection only by obtaining

prior department approval through an order issued under s. 285.13

(2), Stats., or through a permit. Any approval granted by the

department under this paragraph 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.

(2) GENERAL mumoDs. The surface coating or printing emission limitations shall be achieved by one of the following:

(a) The application of low solvent content coating or ink

technology.

(b) A vapor recovery system which recovers the solvent for

reuse.

(c) Incineration or catalytic oxidation , provided that 90% of

the nonmethane VOCs (VOC measured as total combustible carRegister July 2009 No. 643

control emissions to a level at or below the applicable emission

limit and approved by the department. Any approval granted by

the department under this paragraph 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.

(3) HIGH TRANSFER EFFICIENCY COATING APPUCATION. (a) Surface coating operations covered under ss. NR 422.09 to 422.11

and 422.15 have the added option of achieving compliance with

the emission limitation through the use of an alternative control

method or system involving a high transfer efficiency coating

application system, either when used alone or in conjunction with

low solvent content coating technology.

(b) Compliance under the option provided in this subsection

must be approved by the department. This requires that all of the

following conditions are met:

1. The design, operation and efficiency of the application system must be certified in writing by the owner or operator and submitted to the department for approval.

2. The solvent usage per coated part for application system

must be less than or equal to the solvent usage per coated part at

the applicable emission limitation using baseline transfer efficiency.

d, is the total area of the ith batch of hides coated during the

day

ei is the ratio of actual VOC emissions resulting from coating any portion of the ith batch of hides during the day to the

total predicted VOC emissions resulting from all coating of the

entire ith batch

(c) The facility shall measure the surface area of each piece of

leather coated with a mechanism initially calibrated for minimum

accuracy to the Turner Korrect Machine or Sawyer Measurement

systems. The average surface area per coated piece of leather may

be used for a batch of leather provided that the average is based

on a minimum of 500 pieces. Otherwise, the facility average surface area per coated leather piece shall be used. In no case may

the total area allocated to production over all days from a piece of

NR 422.142 Lithographic printing - part 1.

(1) AFFLICABn1T (a) This section applies to all lithographic

printing presses at any facility which is located in the county of

Kenosha, Kewaunee, Manitowoc, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine,

Sheboygan, Washington or Waukesha and which has maximum

theoretical emissions of VOCs from all lithographic printing

presses at the facility greater than or equal to 755.7 kilograms

(1666 pounds) in any month.

(b) To determine VOC emissions under par. (a), the VOC content of a lithographic ink shall be multiplied by 0.8 for a heatset

ink, or multiplied by 0.05 for a non-heatset ink, to account for

VOC retention on the substrate.

(1 m) RETENTION FACTORS AND CAPTURE EFFI(:E'NCm5. For

purposes of determining VOC emissions from offset lithographic

printing operations, the following retention factors and capture

efficiencies may be used:
140-3 DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES NR 422.142

(a) A 20% VOC retention factor for heatset inks printed on

absorptive substrates, meaning 80% of the VOC in the ink is

emitted during the printing process and is available for capture

and control by an add-on pollution control device.

(b) A 95% VOC retention factor for sheet fed and non-heatset

web inks printed on absorptive substrates, meaning 5% of the

VOC in the ink is emitted during the printing process.

(c) A 50% VOC retention factor for cleaning solution in shop

towels where the composite partial vapor pressure of the VOC in

the cleaning solution is less than 10 mm of Hg at 20°C (68°F) and

the cleaning solution and contaminated shop towels are kept in

closed containers, meaning 50% of the VOC used on the shop

towels is emitted during the cleaning process.

(d) A 100% VOC capture efficiency for inks. All the VOC in

the ink that is not retained is assumed to be volatilized in the press

dryer. Capture efficiency testing for heatset dryers is not required

if it is demonstrated that pressure in the dryer is negative relative

to the surrounding press room and the airflow is into the dryer.

(e) A 70% VOC capture efficiency for fountain solutions containing alcohol substitutes.

(f) A 40% VOC capture efficiency for automatic blanket or

roller wash where the VOC composite partial vapor pressure of

the blanket or roller wash is less than 10 mm of Hg at 20°C (68°F).

(2) EMISSION UMrrnTtoxs. (a) Dryer exhaust. Any person

who owns or operates a heatset web lithographic printing press

shall maintain the dryer pressure lower than the press room pressure at all points inside the dryer, and shall:

1. Reduce VOC emissions from the press dryer exhaust by

90% by weight of total organics, minus methane and ethane, or

maintain a maximum dryer exhaust outlet concentration of 20

ppmv, as carbon.

2. If the dryer exhaust is controlled by a catalytic incinerator

installed or modified before January 1, 1982, reduce VOC emissions from the press dryer exhaust by 85% by weight of total

organics, minus methane and ethane.

(b) Fountain solutions. 1. Heatset web presses. Any person

who owns or operates a heatset web lithographic printing press

shall, when printing on a substrate other than metal, metal-foil or

plastic, use a fountain solution which has a VOC content as

applied of no more than one of the following:

a. 1.6% by weight if the fountain solution contains any

restricted alcohol and is not refrigerated to 60°F or less.

b. 3.0% by weight if the fountain solution contains any

restricted alcohol and is refrigerated to 60°F or less.

c. 5.0% by weight if the fountain solution contains no

restricted alcohol.

2. Non-heatset web presses. Any person who owns or operates a non-heatset web lithographic printing press shall, when

printing on a substrate other than metal, metal-foil or plastic, use

NR 422.143 Lithographic printing - part 2.

(1) AvvucABII.1Ty. (a) Subsections (3) (b) and (c) and (4) apply

to the owner or operator of a printing facility that operates a lithographic printing press in the county of Kenosha, Milwaukee,

Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Washington or Waukesha if actual

VOC emissions from all lithographic printing presses, including

related lithographic cleaning activities and fountain solution use

at the facility, before consideration of controls, equal or exceed 3

tons on a 12 consecutive month rolling basis . When determining

the VOC emissions for applicability under this paragraph, the

VOC emissions from the cleaning of electronic components of a

lithographic printing press, pre-press and post-press cleaning

operations and the use of janitorial supplies used to clean around

a lithographic printing press are excluded. The VOC emissions

from solvents used in cold cleaners are excluded for applicability

purposes.

Note: Janitorial supplies are cleaners, such as detergent-based products, used to

clean the floor or for other general cleaning purposes , for example sera not eaeraminaoed with spilled int.

(b) Subsection (3) (a) applies to the owner or operator of any

heatset web lithographic printing press at a printing facility in the

county of Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan,

Washington or Waukesha.

(1 m) RETENTION FACTORS AND CAPTURE EFF7cm1Cms. For

purposes of determining VOC emissions from offset lithographic

printing operations, the following retention factors and capture

efficiencies may be used:

(a) A 20% VOC retention factor for heatset inks printed on

absorptive substrates, meaning 80% of the VOC in the ink is

emitted during the printing process and is available for capture

and control by an add-on pollution control device.

(b) A 95% VOC retention factor for sheet-fed and non-heatset

web inks printed on absorptive substrates, meaning 5% of the

VOC in the ink is emitted during the printing process.

(c) A 50% VOC retention factor for cleaning solution VOC in

shop towels where the composite partial vapor pressure of the

VOC in the cleaning solution is less than 10 mm of Hg at 20°C

(68°F) and the cleaning solution and contaminated shop towels

are kept in closed containers, meaning 50% of the VOC used on

the shop towels is emitted during the cleaning process.

(d) A 100% VOC capture efficiency for inks. All the VOC in

the ink that is not retained is assumed to be volatilized in the press

dryer. Capture efficiency testing for heatset dryers is not required

if it is demonstrated that pressure in the dryer is negative relative

to the surrounding press room and the airflow is into the dryer.

(e) A 70% VOC capture efficiency for fountain solutions containing alcohol substitutes.

(f) A 40% VOC capture efficiency for automatic blanket or

roller wash where the VOC composite partial vapor pressure of

the blanket or roller wash is less than 10 mm of Hg at 20°C (68°F).
