s. NR 464.08, or if an instrument reading of 500 parts per million by volume or greater above background is measured, or if enclosure openings are not maintained at negative pressure, then the following corrective actions shall be taken as soon as practicable:
NR 464.09(11)(f)1.
1. A first effort to repair or correct the closed-vent system shall be made as soon as practicable but no later than 5 calendar days after the problem is identified.
NR 464.09(11)(f)2.
2. The repair or corrective action shall be completed no later than 15 calendar days after the problem is identified. Delay of repair or corrective action is allowed if the repair or corrective action is technically infeasible without a process unit shutdown or if the owner or operator determines that the emissions resulting from immediate repair would be greater than the emission likely to result from delay. Repair of the equipment shall be completed by the end of the next process shutdown.
NR 464.09(12)
(12) Each pulping process condensate closed collection system used to comply with

(10) (c) and
(13), each owner or operator shall use the following procedures:
NR 464.09(14)(a)

sub. (16),
s. NR 464.03 (5) or
464.06 (7), operation of the control device below minimum operating parameter values or above maximum operating parameter values established under this chapter or failure to perform procedures required by this chapter shall constitute a violation of the applicable emission standard of this chapter and be reported as a period of excess emissions.
NR 464.09(16)
(16) The procedures of this paragraph apply to each owner or operator of an open biological treatment system complying with
sub. (10) whenever a monitoring parameter excursion occurs, and the owner or operator chooses to conduct a performance test to demonstrate compliance with the applicable emission limit. A monitoring parameter excursion occurs whenever the monitoring parameters specified in
sub. (10) (a) 1. to
3. or any of the monitoring parameters specified in
sub. (10) (c) are below minimum operating parameter values or above maximum operating parameter values established in
sub. (14).

s. NR 464.06 (5) (b).
NR 464.09(16)(b)1.
1. Conduct a performance test as specified in
40 CFR 63.457 using the monitoring data specified in
sub. (10) (a) to
(c) that coincides with the time of the parameter excursion. No maintenance or changes shall be made to the open biological treatment system after the beginning of a parameter excursion that would influence the results of the performance test.
NR 464.09(16)(b)2.
2. If the results of the performance test specified in
subd. 1. demonstrate compliance with the applicable emission limit in
s. NR 464.06 (5) (b), then the parameter excursion is not a violation of the applicable emission limit.
NR 464.09(16)(b)3.
3. If the results of the performance test specified in
subd. 1. do not demonstrate compliance with the applicable emission limit in
s. NR 464.06 (5) (b) because the total HAP mass entering the open biological treatment system is below the level needed to demonstrate compliance with the applicable emission limit in
s. NR 464.06 (5) (b), then the owner or operator shall perform the following comparisons:
NR 464.09(16)(b)3.a.
a. If the value of f
bio (MeOH) determined during the performance test specified in

b. If the value of f
bio (MeOH) determined during the performance test specified in
subd. 1. is not within the range of values established during the initial and subsequent performance tests approved by the department, then the parameter excursion is a violation of the applicable standard.
NR 464.09(16)(c)
(c) If an owner or operator determines that performing the required procedures under
par. (b) for a nonthoroughly mixed open biological system would expose a worker to dangerous, hazardous or otherwise unsafe conditions, all of the following procedures shall be performed:
NR 464.09(16)(c)1.
1. Calculate the mass removal or percent reduction value using the procedures specified in
40 CFR 63.457(l) except the value for f
bio (MeOH) shall be determined using the procedures in Appendix E of
40 CFR part 63, incorporated by reference in
s. NR 484.04 (25r).

2. Repeat the procedures in
subd. 1. for every day until the unsafe conditions have passed.
NR 464.09(16)(c)3.
3. A parameter excursion is a violation of the standard if the percent reduction or mass removal determined in
subd. 1. is less than the percent reduction or mass removal standards specified in
s. NR 464.06 (5) (b), as appropriate, unless the value of f
bio (MeOH) determined using the procedures in
40 CFR part 63 Appendix E, as specified in
subd. 1., is within the range of f
bio (MeOH) values established during the initial and subsequent performance tests previously approved by the department.
NR 464.09(16)(c)4.
4. The determination that there is a condition that exposes a worker to dangerous, hazardous or otherwise unsafe conditions shall be documented according to requirements in
s. NR 464.10 (5) and reporting in
s. NR 464.11 (6).
NR 464.09(16)(c)5.
5. The requirements of
pars. (a) and
(b) shall be performed and met as soon as practical but no later than 24 hours after the conditions have passed that exposed a worker to dangerous, hazardous or otherwise unsafe conditions.
