NR 422.142 Lithographic printing — part 1. NR 422.142(1)(a)(a) This section applies to all lithographic printing presses at any facility that is located in Kewaunee or Manitowoc county, was constructed before July 1, 2019,
and 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.
