NR 439.06NR 439.06 Methods and procedures for determining compliance with emission limitations (by air contaminant). When tests or a continuous monitoring system are required by the department, the owner or operator of a source shall use the reference methods listed in this section and in ss. NR 439.07 to 439.095 to determine compliance with emission limitations, unless an alternative or equivalent method is approved, or a specific method is required, in writing, by the department. Any alternative, equivalent or other specific method approved or required by the department for an ozone precursor 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. The test methods shall include quality control and quality assurance procedures and the data reporting format which are specified and approved by the department for collection, analysis, processing and reporting of compliance monitoring data. Notwithstanding the compliance determination methods which the owner or operator of a source is authorized to use under this chapter, the department may use any relevant information or appropriate method to determine a source’s compliance with applicable emission limitations. NR 439.06(1)(1) Nonfugitive particulate emissions.

The owner or operator of a source shall use the test methods and procedures listed in this subsection to determine compliance with an organic compound emission limitation. If a test method inadvertently measures compounds which are listed in s. NR 400.02 (162) as having negligible photochemical reactivity, the owner or operator may exclude these compounds when determining compliance with a VOC emission limit if the amount of these compounds is accurately quantified and the exclusion is approved by the department. As a precondition to excluding these compounds as VOC or at any subsequent time, the department may require an owner or operator to provide monitoring or testing methods and results demonstrating, to the satisfaction of the department, the amount of negligibly reactive compounds in the source’s emissions.
