Wisconsin Administrative Code › Department of Natural Resources › NR 400-499 - Environmental Protection - Air Pollution Control › Chapter NR 465 - National emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for general surface coating processes › Subchapter I - Wood Furniture Manufacturing Operations › Section NR 465.01 - Applicability; purpose

Current through June 24, 2024
(1) APPLICABILITY.
(a) This subchapter applies to each facility
				  that is engaged, either in part or in whole, in the manufacture of wood
				  furniture or wood furniture components and that is located at a plant site that
				  is a major source of hazardous air pollutants.
(b) An incidental wood furniture manufacturer
				  shall maintain purchase or usage records demonstrating the source meets the
				  criteria specified in s.
				  NR
				  465.02(33), but the source is not
				  subject to any other provisions of this subchapter.
(c) A source that qualifies as an area source
				  under this paragraph is not subject to any provisions of this subchapter other
				  than those in this paragraph. For subds. 1. and 2., finishing materials,
				  adhesives, cleaning solvents and washoff solvents used for wood furniture or
				  wood furniture component manufacturing operations shall account for at least
				  90% of annual HAP emissions at the plant site, and if the plant site has HAP
				  emissions that do not originate from the listed materials, the owner or
				  operator shall keep any records necessary to demonstrate that the 90% criterion
				  is being met. A source that initially relies on the limits and criteria
				  specified in subd. 1., 2. or 3. to become an area source, but subsequently
				  exceeds the relevant limit, without first obtaining and complying with other
				  limits that keep its potential to emit hazardous air pollutants below major
				  source levels, becomes a major source and shall comply thereafter with all
				  applicable provisions of this subchapter starting on the applicable compliance
				  date in s.
				  NR 465.055.
				  Nothing in this paragraph is intended to preclude a source from limiting its
				  potential to emit through other appropriate mechanisms. A source qualifies as
				  an area source for the purposes of this subchapter if the criteria in one of
				  the following subdivisions are met:
1. The
				  owner or operator of the source uses no more than a total of 250 gallons per
				  month, for every month, of coating, adhesive, cleaning material and washoff
				  materials at the source, including materials used for source categories other
				  than wood furniture, but excluding materials used in routine janitorial or
				  facility grounds maintenance, personal uses by employees or other persons, the
				  use of products for the purpose of maintaining motor vehicles operated by the
				  facility, the use of toxic chemicals contained in intake water used for
				  processing or noncontact cooling and intake air used either as compressed air
				  or for combustion. The owner or operator shall maintain records for 5 years of
				  the total gallons of coating, adhesive, cleaning material and washoff material
				  used each month, and upon request submit the records to the
				  department.
2. The owner or
				  operator of the source uses no more than 3,000 gallons per rolling 12-month
				  period, for every 12-month period, of coating, adhesive, cleaning material and
				  washoff material at the source, including materials used for source categories
				  other than wood furniture, but excluding materials used in routine janitorial
				  or facility grounds maintenance, personal uses by employees or other persons,
				  the use of products for the purpose of maintaining motor vehicles operated by
				  the facility, the use of toxic chemicals contained in intake water used for
				  processing or noncontact cooling and intake air used either as compressed air
				  or for combustion. The owner or operator of the source shall maintain records
				  of the total gallons of coating, adhesive, cleaning material and washoff
				  material used each month and the total gallons used each previous month, and
				  upon request submit the records to the department. The owner or operator shall
				  keep monthly records beginning no less than one year before the compliance date
				  specified in s.
				  NR 465.055 and
				  maintain the records for 5 years.
3. The source emits no more than 4.5 Mg (5
				  tons) of any one HAP per rolling 12-month period and no more than 11.4 Mg (12.5
				  tons) of any combination of HAP per rolling 12-month period, and at least 90%
				  of the plantwide HAP emissions per rolling 12-month period are associated with
				  the manufacture of wood furniture or wood furniture components. The owner or
				  operator shall maintain records for 5 years that demonstrate that annual
				  emissions do not exceed these levels, including monthly usage records and
				  certified product data sheets for all finishing material, adhesive, cleaning
				  material and washoff material, and any other records necessary to document
				  emissions from source categories other than wood furniture. The owner or
				  operator shall submit the records to the department upon request.
(d) This subchapter does not apply
				  to research or laboratory equipment for which the primary purpose is to conduct
				  research and development into new processes and products, where the equipment
				  is operated under the close supervision of technically trained personnel and is
				  not engaged in the manufacture of products for commercial sale in commerce,
				  except in a de minimis manner.
(e)
				  The owner or operator of an affected source shall comply with the requirements
				  of ch. NR 460, according to the applicability of ch. NR 460 to the sources, as
				  identified in ch. NR 460 Appendix JJ.
(f) Reconstructed affected sources are
				  subject to the requirements for new affected sources. The costs associated with
				  the purchase and installation of air pollution control equipment are not
				  considered in determining whether the facility has been reconstructed, unless
				  the control equipment is part of the process. Additionally, the costs of
				  retrofitting and replacement of equipment that is installed specifically to
				  comply with this subchapter are not considered reconstruction costs.
Note: An example of when control equipment is part of a
					 process is where the equipment is used to recover product or raw material. An
					 example of costs for equipment replacement which would not be considered
					 reconstruction costs is the replacement of storage tanks, mix equipment and
					 transfer lines to accommodate conversion to waterborne coatings where the
					 purpose of the conversion is to comply with this subchapter.
