Current through June 24, 2024
(1) APPLICABILITY.
(a) This chapter applies to each individual
				batch vapor, in-line vapor, in-line cold and batch cold solvent cleaning
				machine that uses any solvent containing methylene chloride (CAS No. 75-09-2),
				perchloroethylene (CAS No. 127-18-4), trichloroethylene (CAS No. 79-01-6),
				1,1,1-trichloroethane (CAS No. 71-55-6), carbon tetrachloride (CAS No. 56-23-5)
				or chloroform (CAS No. 67-66-3), or any combination of these halogenated HAP
				solvents, in a total concentration greater than 5% by weight, as a cleaning or
				drying agent. The concentration of these solvents may be determined using
				Method 18 in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s.
				NR
				484.04(16), material safety data
				sheets, or engineering calculations. Wipe cleaning activities, such as using a
				rag containing halogenated solvent or a spray cleaner containing halogenated
				solvent are not covered under the provisions of this chapter.
Note: Wipe cleaning activities may be regulated by s.
				  NR
				  423.03(7).
(b) Except as noted in Appendix T of ch. NR
				460, the provisions of ch. NR 460 apply to owners or operators of any solvent
				cleaning machine meeting the applicability criteria of par. (a).
(c) Except as provided in par. (e), the owner
				or operator of each solvent cleaning machine subject to this chapter that
				commences construction or reconstruction after November 29, 1993, shall achieve
				compliance with the provisions of this chapter, except for s.
				NR
				469.085, immediately upon startup.
(d) Except as provided in par. (e), the owner
				or operator of each solvent cleaning machine subject to this chapter that
				commenced construction or reconstruction on or before November 29, 1993, shall
				achieve compliance with the provisions of this chapter, except for s.
				NR
				469.085, no later than December 2, 1997.
(e) Each continuous web cleaning machine
				subject to this chapter shall be in compliance with the provisions of this
				chapter, except for s.
				NR
				469.085, no later than December 2, 1999.
(f) If you are an owner or operator of an
				area source subject to this chapter, you are exempt from the obligation to
				obtain a permit under ch. NR 407, provided you are not required to obtain a
				permit under s.
				NR
				407.01(1) for a reason other than
				your status as an area source under this chapter. Notwithstanding the previous
				sentence, you shall continue to comply with the provisions of this chapter
				applicable to area sources.
(g) The
				compliance date for the requirements in s.
				NR
				469.085 depends on the date that construction or
				reconstruction of the affected facility commences. For purposes of this
				paragraph, "affected facility" means all solvent cleaning machines, except
				solvent cleaning machines used in the manufacture and maintenance of aerospace
				products, solvent cleaning machines used in the manufacture of narrow tubing
				and continuous web cleaning machines, located at a major source that are
				subject to the facility-wide limits in Table 8 of s.
				NR 469.085(2)
				(b), and for area sources, "affected
				facility" means all solvent cleaning machines, except cold batch cleaning
				machines, located at an area source that are subject to the facility-wide
				limits in Table 8 of s.
				NR 469.085(2)
				(b). The compliance dates for the
				requirements of s.
				NR
				469.085 are as follows:
1. Each affected facility that was
				constructed or reconstructed on or before August 17, 2006, shall be in
				compliance with the provisions of this chapter no later than May 3,
				2010.
2. Each affected facility
				that was constructed or reconstructed on or after August 17, 2006, shall be in
				compliance with the provisions of this chapter on May 3, 2007 or immediately
				upon startup, whichever is later.
