Wood furniture coating.
(1) Applicability.
(a) This section applies to the wood furniture finishing operations of any wood furniture manufacturing facility which is located in the county of Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Washington, or Waukesha, and whose maximum theoretical emissions of VOCs from all wood furniture finishing operations at the facility, including any related cleaning activities, is greater than or equal to 25 tons per year.
(b) This section applies, except for sub. (4m) , to any wood furniture manufacturing facility which is located in the county of Kewaunee or Manitowoc, and whose maximum theoretical emissions of VOCs from all wood furniture finishing operations at the facility is greater than or equal to 25 tons per year.
(2) Emission limitations. After September 1, 1996, no owner or operator of a wood furniture finishing operation may cause, allow or permit the emission of any VOCs in excess of the following limitations:
(a) General limits. Except as provided in par. (b) , either of the following:
1. 0.8 kilograms per kilogram of solids (0.8 pounds per pound), as applied, for topcoats only.
2. 1.9 kilograms per kilogram of solids (1.9 pounds per pound), as applied, for sealers and 1.8 kilograms per kilogram of solids (1.8 pounds per pound), as applied, for topcoats.
(b) Acid-cured alkyd amino coatings. When the owner or operator is using acid-cured alkyd amino vinyl sealers or acid-cured alkyd amino conversion varnish topcoats, any of the following:
1. Where the sealer is an acid-cured alkyd amino vinyl sealer and the topcoat is an acid-cured alkyd amino conversion varnish topcoat, 2.3 kilograms per kilogram of solids (2.3 pounds per pound), as applied, for sealers and 2.0 kilograms per kilogram of solids (2.0 pounds per pound of solids), as applied, for topcoats.
2. Where the sealer is not an acid-cured alkyd amino vinyl sealer and the topcoat is an acid-cured alkyd amino conversion varnish topcoat, 1.9 kilograms per kilogram of solids (1.9 pounds per pound), as applied, for sealers and 2.0 kilograms per kilogram of solids (2.0 pounds per pound), as applied, for topcoats.
3. Where the sealer is an acid-cured alkyd amino vinyl sealer and the topcoat is not an acid-cured alkyd amino conversion varnish topcoat, 2.3 kilograms per kilogram of solids (2.3 pounds per pound), as applied, for sealers and 1.8 kilograms per kilogram of solids (1.8 pounds per pound), as applied, for topcoats.
(c) Strippable spray booth coatings. 0.8 kilograms per kilogram of solids (0.8 pounds per pound) for strippable spray booth coatings, as applied.
(3) Compliance methods.
(a) Emission averaging. In addition to using provisions of s. NR 422.04 or 425.05 to demonstrate compliance, an owner or operator may demonstrate compliance with the emission limitations in sub. (2) (a) and (b) by showing that total daily actual emissions calculated using Equation 2 are less than or equal to total daily allowable emissions calculated using Equation 1.
(b) Capture systems. Notwithstanding s. NR 422.04 (4) , an owner or operator demonstrating compliance with the emission limitations in sub. (2) as allowed under s. NR 422.04 (2) (c) shall do all of the following:
1. Determine the overall control efficiency needed to demonstrate compliance daily using Equation 3.
2. Document that the value of C in Equation 3 is obtained from the VOC and solids content of the as applied finishing material.
3. Comply with the requirements, and determine the actual overall efficiency of the control device, using the procedures of ss. NR 439.055 , 439.06 , 439.07 and 439.075 .
4. Demonstrate compliance when R as determined under subd. 1. is greater than or equal to the overall efficiency of the control device determined under subd. 3.
(4) Application technology. After September 1, 1996, an owner or operator of a wood furniture manufacturing facility may use conventional air spray to apply finishing materials only under any of the following conditions:
(a) When applying finishing materials that have an as applied VOC content no greater than 1.0 kilogram per kilogram of solids (1.0 pound per pound of solids).
(b) When applying final touch-up and repair finishing materials.
(c) When using a control device to meet the applicable requirements of this section.
(4m) Cleaning material work practices. Beginning on March 1, 2013, the owner or operator of a facility subject to this subsection shall do all of the following:
