NR 405.18(12)(c)3.
3. Where the vendor of a material or fuel, which is used in or at the emissions unit, publishes a range of pollutant content from the material, use the highest value of the range to calculate the PAL regulated air contaminant emissions unless the department determines there is site-specific data or a site-specific monitoring program to support another content within the range.

(e) An owner or operator using CPMS or PEMS to monitor PAL regulated air contaminant emissions shall ensure that the CPMS or PEMS does both of the following:
NR 405.18(12)(e)1.
1. Is based on current site-specific data demonstrating a correlation between the monitored parameters and the PAL regulated air contaminant emissions across the range of operation of the emissions unit.
NR 405.18(12)(e)2.

NR 405.18(12)(g)
(g) A source owner or operator shall record and report maximum potential emissions without considering enforceable emission limitations or operational restrictions for an emissions unit during any period of time that there is no monitoring data, unless another method for determining emissions during the periods is specified in the PAL permit.

NR 405.19 Forest County Potawatomi Class I area. NR 405.19(1)(1) For any new major source or major modification of an existing source, the Forest County Potawatomi Community shall have the opportunity to present to the department, within no more than 75 days of receipt of a complete permit application by the department, a demonstration that the emissions from the proposed new major source or major modification would have an adverse impact on the established air quality related values of the FCPC Class I area.
NR 405.19(2)
(2) New major sources or major modifications of existing sources wholly or partially locating or located within a radius of 22.25 miles from the geographic center of the FCPC Class I area, as identified in
s. NR 400.02 (66m), are subject to an increment analysis and limited to the maximum allowable increase levels of a Class I area.
NR 405.19(3)
(3) New major sources or major modifications of existing sources locating or located wholly outside the area defined in
sub. (2) are subject to an increment analysis and maximum allowable increase levels of a Class II area.
NR 405.19 Note
Note: The relationship between the State of Wisconsin and the Forest County Potawatomi Community with regard to the FCPC Class I area is established in a 1999 Class I Final Agreement. The geographic center of the FCPC Class I area was determined by finding the center of a rectangle placed around the outer most portions of the Class I area. The 22.25-mile radius was determined by adding 10 miles to the distance of the outermost portion of the FCPC Class I area from the geographic center of the FCPC Class I area. A map developed by the Department and the Forest County Potawatomi Community shows the approximate 22.25-mile radius for the FCPC Class I area. The Final Agreement, map, and information on established air quality related values for the Class I area are available from the Department upon request, or may be found on the Department's web site.
