Initial compliance requirements. (1) By what date must I conduct initial performance tests or other initial compliance demonstrations? (a) As required by s. NR 460.06 (1) (b) , you shall conduct a performance test no later than 180 calendar days after the compliance date that is specified in s. NR 463.21 (4) for your iron and steel foundry to demonstrate initial compliance with each emission limitation in s. NR 463.23 (1) that applies to you. (b) For each work practice standard in s. NR 463.23 (2) and each operation and maintenance requirement in s. NR 463.23 (3) that applies to you where initial compliance is not demonstrated using a performance test, you shall demonstrate initial compliance no later than 30 calendar days after the compliance date that is specified for your iron and steel foundry in s. NR 463.21 (4) . (c) If you commenced construction or reconstruction between December 23, 2002 and April 22, 2004, you shall demonstrate initial compliance with either the proposed emissions limit or the promulgated emissions limit no later than October 19, 2004 or no later than 180 calendar days after startup of the source, whichever is later, according to s. NR 460.06 (1) (c) . (d) If you commenced construction or reconstruction between December 23, 2002 and April 22, 2004, and you chose to comply with the proposed emissions limit when demonstrating initial compliance, you shall conduct a second performance test to demonstrate compliance with the promulgated emissions limit by October 19, 2007 or after startup of the source, whichever is later, according to s.

Determine the concentration of PM according to the test methods in 40 CFR part 60 , Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (13) , that are specified in subd. 1. a. to e. : a. Method 1 or 1A to select sampling port locations and the number of traverse points in each stack or duct. Sampling sites shall be located at the outlet of the control device, or at the outlet of the emission source if no control device is present, prior to any releases to the atmosphere. b. Method 2, 2A, 2C, 2D, 2F or 2G to determine the volumetric flow rate of the stack gas. c. Method 3, 3A or 3B to determine the dry molecular weight of the stack gas. d. Method 4 to determine the moisture content of the stack gas. e. Method 5, 5B, 5D, 5F or 5I, as applicable, to determine the PM concentration. The PM concentration is determined using only the front-half, probe rinse and filter, of the PM catch. 2. Collect a minimum sample volume of 60 dscf of gas during each PM sampling run. A minimum of 3 valid test runs are needed to comprise a performance test. 3. For cupola metal melting furnaces, sample only during times when the cupola is on blast. 4. For electric arc and electric induction metal melting furnaces, sample only when metal is being melted. 5. For scrap preheaters, sample only when scrap is being preheated. (b) Total metal HAP. To determine compliance with the applicable emission limit for total metal HAP in s. NR 463.23 (1) (a) 1. to 6. for a metal melting furnace, scrap preheater, pouring station, or pouring area, you shall use the following test methods and procedures: 1. Determine the concentration of total metal HAP according to the test methods in 40 CFR part 60 , Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s. NR 484.04 (13) , that are specified in subd. 1. a. to e. : a. Method 1 or 1A to select sampling port locations and the number of traverse points in each stack or duct. Sampling sites shall be located at the outlet of the control device, or at the outlet of the emissions source if no control device is present, prior to any releases to the atmosphere. b. Method 2, 2A, 2C, 2D, 2F or 2G to determine the volumetric flow rate of the stack gas. c. Method 3, 3A or 3B to determine the dry molecular weight of the stack gas. d. Method 4 to determine the moisture content of the stack gas. e. Method 29 to determine the total metal HAP concentration. 2. Collect a minimum sample volume of 60 dscf of gas during each total metal HAP sampling run. A minimum of 3 valid test runs are needed to comprise a performance test. 3. For cupola metal melting furnaces, sample only during times when the cupola is on blast. 4. For electric arc and electric induction metal melting furnaces, sample only when metal is being melted. 5. For scrap preheaters, sample only when scrap is being preheated. (c) Fugitive emissions. To determine compliance with the opacity limit in s. NR 463.23 (1) (a) 7. for fugitive emissions from buildings or structures housing any emissions source at the iron and steel foundry, you shall use the following test method and procedures: 1. Using a certified observer, conduct each opacity test according to the requirements in Method 9 in 40 CFR part 60 , Appendix A, incorporated by reference in s.
