Current through June 24, 2024
(1) NEW
				  OR RECONSTRUCTED AFFECTED SOURCES. The owner or operator of a new or
				  reconstructed affected source which is exempt from the permit requirements of
				  chs.
				  NR
				  406 and
				  407 is subject to this section.
(a) No person may construct a new affected
				  source or reconstruct an affected source subject to this subchapter, or
				  reconstruct a source such that it becomes an affected source subject to this
				  subchapter, without either meeting the permit application and approval
				  requirements under ch. NR 406 or 407, if applicable, or submitting a
				  notification of construction or reconstruction to the department under this
				  section. Notification under this section shall contain the information
				  identified in pars. (b) and (c), as appropriate.
(b) The notification of construction or
				  reconstruction required under this subsection shall include all of the
				  following:
1. The owner or operator's name,
				  title and address.
2. The address
				  or proposed address where the affected source would be located, if different
				  from the owner's or operator's.
3.
				  A notification of intention to construct a new affected source or make any
				  physical or operational changes to an affected source that may meet or has been
				  determined to meet the criteria for a reconstruction as defined in s.
				  NR
				  460.02(32).
4. An identification of this subchapter as
				  the basis for the notification.
5.
				  The expected commencement and completion dates of the construction or
				  reconstruction.
6. The anticipated
				  date of initial startup of the affected source.
7. The type of process operation to be
				  performed, hard or decorative chromium electroplating or chromium
				  anodizing.
8. A description of the
				  air pollution control technique to be used to control emissions from the
				  affected source, such as preliminary design drawings and design capacity if an
				  add-on air pollution control device is used.
9. An estimate of emissions from the source
				  based on engineering calculations and vendor information on control device
				  efficiency, expressed in units consistent with the emission limits of this
				  subchapter. Calculations of emission estimates shall be in sufficient detail to
				  permit assessment of the validity of the calculations.
(c) If a reconstruction is to occur, the
				  notification required under this subsection shall include the following in
				  addition to the information required in par. (b):
1. A brief description of the affected source
				  and the components to be replaced.
2. A brief description of the present and
				  proposed emission control technique, including the information required by par.
				  (b) 8. and 9.
3. An estimate of the
				  fixed capital cost of the replacements and of constructing a comparable
				  entirely new source.
4. The
				  estimated life of the affected source after the replacements.
5. A discussion of any economic or technical
				  limitations the source may have in complying with relevant standards or other
				  requirements after the proposed replacements. The discussion shall be
				  sufficiently detailed to demonstrate to the department's satisfaction that the
				  technical or economic limitations affect the source's ability to comply with
				  the relevant standard and how they do so.
6. If in the notification of reconstruction,
				  the owner or operator designates the affected source as a reconstructed source
				  and declares that there are no economic or technical limitations to prevent the
				  source from complying with all relevant standards or requirements, the owner or
				  operator need not submit the information required in subds. 3. to 5.
(d) The owner or operator of a new
				  or reconstructed affected source that submits a notification under this
				  subsection is not subject to approval by the department under this subchapter.
				  Construction or reconstruction is subject only to notification and may begin
				  upon submission of a complete notification. This paragraph applies only to
				  affected sources which are exempt from permit requirements under chs.
				  NR
				  406 and
				  407.
