The information needed to demonstrate conformance with the startup, shutdown and malfunction plan may be recorded using a checklist or some other effective form of recordkeeping, in order to minimize the recordkeeping burden for conforming events.
NR 460.09(2)(b)6.
6. Each period during which a continuous monitoring system is malfunctioning or inoperative, including out-of-control periods.
NR 460.09(2)(b)7.
7. All required measurements needed to demonstrate compliance with a relevant standard, including, but not limited to, 15-minute averages of continuous monitoring system data, raw performance testing measurements and raw performance evaluation measurements, that support data that the source is required to report. The following limitations apply:
NR 460.09(2)(b)7.a.
a. This subdivision paragraph applies to owners or operators required to install a continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS) where the CEMS installed is automated, and where the calculated data averages do not exclude periods of CEMS breakdown or malfunction. An automated CEMS records and reduces the measured data to the form of the pollutant emission standard through the use of a computerized data acquisition system. In lieu of maintaining a file of all CEMS subhourly measurements under this subdivision, the owner or operator shall retain the most recent consecutive 3 averaging periods of subhourly measurements and a file that contains a hard copy of the data acquisition system algorithm used to reduce the measured data into the reportable form of the standard.
NR 460.09(2)(b)7.b.
b. This subdivision paragraph applies to owners or operators required to install a CEMS where the measured data is manually reduced to obtain the reportable form of the standard, and where the calculated data averages do not exclude periods of CEMS breakdown or malfunction. In lieu of maintaining a file of all CEMS subhourly measurements under this subdivision, the owner or operator shall retain all subhourly measurements for the most recent reporting period. The subhourly measurements shall be retained for 120 days from the date of the most recent summary or excess emission report submitted to the department.
NR 460.09(2)(b)7.c.
c. The department, upon notification to the source, may require the owner or operator to maintain all measurements as required by
subd. 7. (intro.) if the department determines these records are required to more accurately assess the compliance status of the affected source.
NR 460.09(2)(b)8.
8. All results of performance tests, continuous monitoring system performance evaluations, and opacity and visible emission observations.
NR 460.09(2)(b)9.
9. All measurements as may be necessary to determine the conditions of performance tests and performance evaluations.
NR 460.09(2)(b)11.
11. All adjustments and maintenance performed on continuous monitoring systems.
NR 460.09(2)(b)12.
12. Any information demonstrating whether a source is meeting the requirements for a waiver of recordkeeping or reporting requirements under
40 CFR part 63 or
chs. NR 460 to
469, if the source has been granted a waiver under
sub. (6).
NR 460.09(2)(b)13.
13. All emission levels relative to the criterion for obtaining permission to use an alternative to the relative accuracy test, if the source has been granted permission under
s. NR 460.07 (6) (e).
NR 460.09(2)(c)
(c) Recordkeeping requirements for applicability determinations. If an owner or operator determines that his or her stationary source that emits, or has the potential to emit, without considering controls, one or more hazardous air pollutants regulated by any standard established pursuant to section 112 (d) or (f) of the Act (
42 USC 7412 (d) or (f)), and that stationary source is in the source category regulated by the relevant standard, but that source is not subject to the relevant standard or other requirement established under
40 CFR part 63 or
chs. NR 460 to
469, because of limitations on the source's potential to emit or an exclusion, the owner or operator shall keep a record of the applicability determination on site at the source for a period of 5 years after the determination, or until the source changes its operations to become an affected source, whichever comes first. The record of the applicability determination shall be signed by the person making the determination and include an analysis or other information that demonstrates why the owner or operator believes the source is not an affected source. The analysis or other information shall be sufficiently detailed to allow the department to make a finding about the source's applicability status with regard to the relevant standard or other requirement. If relevant, the analysis shall be performed in accordance with requirements established in relevant subparts of
40 CFR part 63 for this purpose for particular categories of stationary sources. If relevant, the analysis should be performed in accordance with EPA guidance materials published to assist sources in making applicability determinations under section 112 of the Act (
42 USC 7412), if any. The requirements to determine applicability of a standard under
40 CFR 63.1 (b) (3) and to record the results of that determination under this paragraph do not by themselves create an obligation for the owner or operator to obtain a title V permit.
NR 460.09(3)
(3) Additional recordkeeping requirements for sources with continuous monitoring systems. NR 460.09(3)(a)(a) In addition to complying with the requirements specified in

40 CFR part 60, incorporated by reference in
s. NR 484.04 (13), or an alternative to these test methods, along with the results of the performance test required under
s. NR 460.06. If no performance test is required, or if visibility or other conditions prevent the opacity or visible emission observations from being conducted concurrently with the performance test required under
s. NR 460.06, the owner or operator shall report the opacity or visible emission results before the close of business on the 30th day following the completion of the opacity or visible emission observations.
NR 460.09(4)(d)
(d)
Progress reports. The owner or operator of an affected source who is required to submit progress reports as a condition of receiving a compliance date extension under
s. NR 460.05 (7) shall submit the reports to the department by the dates specified in the written compliance date extension.
