Section NR 463.18 - Reports(1) STARTUP, SHUTDOWN AND MALFUNCTION PLAN AND REPORTS. The owner or operator shall develop a written plan as described in s. NR 460.05(4) (c) that contains specific procedures to be followed for operating and maintaining the source during periods of startup, shutdown and malfunction, and a program of corrective action for malfunctioning process and air pollution control equipment used to comply with the standard. The owner or operator shall also keep records of each event as required by s. NR 460.09(2) and record and report if an action taken during a startup, shutdown or malfunction is not consistent with the procedures in the plan as described in s. NR 460.05(4) (c). In addition to the information required in s. NR 460.05(4) (c), the plan shall include both of the following:(a) Procedures to determine and record the cause of the malfunction and the time the malfunction began and ended.(b) Corrective actions to be taken in the event of a malfunction of a process or control device, including procedures for recording the actions taken to correct the malfunction or minimize emissions.(2) EXCESS EMISSIONS AND SUMMARY REPORT. The owner or operator shall submit semiannual reports according to the requirements in s. NR 460.09(5) (c), except that the semiannual reports shall be submitted within 60 days after the end of each 6-month period instead of within 30 days after the calendar half as specified in s. NR 460.09(5) (c) 5. When no deviations of parameters have occurred, the owner or operator shall submit a report stating that no excess emissions occurred during the reporting period. Reports shall be submitted in accordance with all of the following: (a) A report shall be submitted if any of the following conditions occur during a 6-month reporting period: 1. The corrective action specified in the operation, maintenance and monitoring (OM&M) plan for a bag leak detection system alarm was not initiated within one hour.2. The corrective action specified in the OM&M plan for a continuous opacity monitoring deviation was not initiated within one hour.3. The corrective action specified in the OM&M plan for visible emissions from an aluminum scrap shredder was not initiated within one hour.4. An excursion of a compliant process or operating parameter value or range, including lime injection rate or screw feeder setting, total reactive chlorine flux injection rate, afterburner operating temperature, fabric filter inlet temperature, definition of acceptable scrap or other approved operating parameter.5. An action taken during a startup, shutdown or malfunction was not consistent with the procedures in the plan as described in s. NR 460.05(4) (c).6. An affected source, including an emission unit in a secondary aluminum processing unit, was not operated according to the requirements of this subchapter.7. A deviation from the 3-day, 24-hour rolling average emission limit for a secondary aluminum processing unit.(b) Each report shall include each of these certifications, as applicable:1. For each thermal chip dryer: "Only unpainted aluminum chips were used as feedstock in any thermal chip dryer during this reporting period."2. For each dross-only furnace: "Only dross and salt flux were used as the charge material in any dross-only furnace during this reporting period."3. For each sidewell group 1 furnace with add-on air pollution control devices: "Each furnace was operated such that the level of molten metal remained above the top of the passage between the sidewell and hearth during reactive fluxing, and reactive flux, except for cover flux, was added only to the sidewell or to a furnace hearth equipped with an add-on air pollution control device for PM, HCl, and D&F emissions during this reporting period."4. For each group 1 melting and holding furnace without add-on air pollution control devices and using pollution prevention measures that processes only clean charge material: "Each group 1 furnace without add-on air pollution control devices subject to emission limits in s. NR 463.13(9) (b) processed only clean charge during this reporting period."5. For each group 2 furnace: "Only clean charge materials were processed in any group 2 furnace during this reporting period, and no fluxing was performed or all fluxing performed was conducted using only nonreactive, non-HAP-containing and non-HAP-generating fluxing gases or agents, except for cover fluxes, during this reporting period."6. For each in-line fluxer using no reactive flux: "Only nonreactive, non-HAP-containing, non-HAP-generating flux gases, agents, or materials were used at any time during this reporting period."(c) The owner or operator shall submit the results of any performance test conducted during the reporting period, including one complete report documenting test methods and procedures, process operation and monitoring parameter ranges or values for each test method used for a particular type of emission point tested.(3) ANNUAL COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATIONS. For the purpose of annual certifications of compliance required by s. NR 439.03(1) (c), the owner or operator shall certify continuing compliance based upon, but not limited to, both of the following conditions: (a) Any and all periods of excess emissions, as defined in sub. (2) (a), that occurred during the year were reported.(b) All monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements were met during the year.Wis. Admin. Code Department of Natural Resources NR 463.18
