Notice of Hearings
Natural Resources
(Environmental Protection-
Air Pollution Control,
Chs. NR 400-)
Notice is hereby given that pursuant to ss. 227.11(2)(a) and 285.11(1), Stats., interpreting s. 285.11(6), Stats., the Department of Natural Resources will hold public hearings on revisions to chs. NR 406, 407, 419, 422 and 484, Wis. Adm. Code, relating to the control of volatile organic compound emissions from auto body refinishing operations. The proposed rules incorporate national limitations on the VOC content of coatings and coating components into the administrative code. The proposed rule also repeals a section of the current code requiring low VOC cleanup solvents for non-plastic parts. The proposed rule would also exempt auto body refinishing operations if the emissions of VOCs, prior to any pollution control equipment, are less than 1666 pounds per month. This limitation is consistent with the general exemption for other facilities. This is a statewide exemption.
Environmental Assessment
Notice is hereby further given that the Department has made a preliminary determination that this action does not involve significant adverse environmental effects and does not need an environmental analysis under ch. NR 150, Wis. Adm. Code. However, based on the comments received, the Department may prepare an environmental analysis before proceeding with the proposal. This environmental review document would summarize the Department's consideration of the impacts of the proposal and reasonable alternatives.
