on reconsideration.
AGENCY:
This action sets forth the
Environmental Protection Agency’s
(EPA) final decision on the issues for
which it granted reconsideration on
January 21, 2015, which pertain to
certain aspects of the February 7, 2013,
final rule titled ‘‘Standards of
Performance for New Stationary Sources
and Emissions Guidelines for Existing
Sources: Commercial and Industrial
Solid Waste Incineration Units’’ (CISWI
rule). The EPA is finalizing proposed
actions on these four topics: Definition
of ‘‘continuous emission monitoring
system (CEMS) data during startup and
shutdown periods;’’ particulate matter
(PM) limit for the waste-burning kiln
subcategory; fuel variability factor (FVF)
for coal-burning energy recovery units
(ERUs); and the definition of ‘‘kiln.’’
This action also includes our final
decision to deny the requests for
reconsideration of all other issues raised
in the petitions for reconsideration of
the 2013 final commercial and
industrial solid waste incineration rule
for which we did not grant
reconsideration.
DATES: The amendments in this rule to
40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD, are
effective June 23, 2016, and to 40 CFR
part 60, subpart CCCC, are effective
December 23, 2016. The incorporation
by reference of certain publications
listed in this rule was approved
February 7, 2013.

II. Summary of Final Amendments
A. Background Information
On March 21, 2011, the EPA
promulgated revised NSPS and EG for
CISWI units. Following that action, the
Administrator received petitions for
reconsideration that identified certain
issues that warranted further
opportunity for public comment. In
response to the petitions, the EPA
reconsidered and requested comment on
several provisions of the February 2011
final NSPS and EG for commercial and
PO 00000

industrial solid waste incineration
units. The EPA published the proposed
revisions to the NSPS and EG for
commercial and industrial solid waste
units on December 23, 2011 (76 FR
80452).
On February 7, 2013, the EPA
promulgated the final reconsidered
NSPS and EG for CISWI units (78 FR
9112). The final rule made some
revisions to the December 2011
proposed reconsideration rule in
response to comments and additional
information received. Following that
action, the EPA again received petitions
for reconsideration. These petitions
stated certain provisions should be
reconsidered and that the public lacked
sufficient opportunity to comment on
some of the provisions contained in the
final 2013 CISWI rule. On January 21,
2015, the EPA reconsidered and
requested comment on four provisions
of the 2013 final NSPS and EG for
CISWI units. Additionally, the EPA
proposed clarifying changes and
corrections to the final rule, some of
which were raised in petitions for
reconsideration of the 2013 CISWI rule.
The EPA also proposed to amend the
final rule by removing the affirmative
defense provision. The EPA continued
to evaluate the remaining issues raised
in the petitions for reconsideration of
the February 7, 2013 final CISWI
reconsideration based on public
comments received on the January 21,
2015, proposed reconsideration. For a

B. Actions We Are Taking
In this document, we are finalizing
amendments associated with certain
issues raised by Petitioners in their
petitions for reconsideration on the
2013 CISWI rule. These provisions are:
(1) Definition of ‘‘CEMS data during
startup and shutdown periods;’’ (2)
particulate matter (PM) limit for the
waste-burning kiln subcategory; (3) fuel
variability factor (FVF) for coal-burning
energy recovery units (ERUs); and (4)
the definition of ‘‘kiln.’’ The final
amendments are summarized as follows:
1. Definition of ‘‘CEMS data during
startup and shutdown periods’’: The
EPA is revising the ‘‘CEMS data during
startup and shutdown’’ definition to be
subcategory-specific. For ERUs and
waste-burning kilns, the definitions
reflect provisions similar to those of the
non-waste counterpart National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) to CISWI for the
type of source (i.e., boilers and cement
kilns). Therefore, ERUs will comply
with provisions similar to those in the
major source Boiler NESHAP, and
waste-burning kilns will comply with
provisions similar to those in the
Portland Cement NESHAP. For
incinerators and small remote
incinerators, the proposed definition
(i.e., from a cold start and up to 48 hours
for startup and 24 hours or less for
shutdown) will apply.
2. Particulate matter limit for the
waste-burning kiln subcategory: The
EPA has determined that the test
averages, instead of the individual test
runs, should be used to establish the
standards for new and existing wasteburning kilns. Based on that approach,
the final PM emission limits for existing
kilns is 13.5 mg/dscm and the final PM
emission limit for new kilns is 4.9 mg/
dscm.
3. Fuel variability factor (FVF) for
coal-burning energy recovery units: The
EPA is incorporating a fuel variability
factor and adopting as final the emission
limits discussed in the proposed rule for
cadmium (Cd), hydrogen chloride (HCl),
mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), filterable
particulate matter (PM), and nitrogen
oxides (NOX). Additionally, the EPA has
re-evaluated the fuel sulfur data with
paired sulfur dioxide (SO2) data and is
incorporating a FVF into the floor
calculations for SO2. The final SO2 limit
for existing and new coal ERUs is 850
parts per million by dry volume
(ppmvd).
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:31 Jun 22, 2016
Jkt 238001
4. Definition of ‘‘kiln’’: The EPA is
finalizing a definition of ‘‘kiln’’ that is
consistent with that of the Portland
Cement NESHAP. The terms ‘‘in-line
raw mill’’ and ‘‘in-line coal mill’’ are
included in the definition, and,
therefore, have been added to the
definitions within the CISWI rule.
Furthermore, the EPA is finalizing the
proposed compliance demonstration
and ongoing monitoring method for
waste-burning kilns that combine
emission streams from the in-line raw
mill and/or the in-line coal mill and
exhaust through multiple stacks. The
EPA is also finalizing clarifying
language that makes the monitoring
requirements for waste-burning kilns
consistent with those in the Portland
Cement NESHAP. Specifically, we are
not requiring that CEMS or PM
continuous parameter monitoring
systems (CPMS) be installed on separate
alkali bypass or in-line coal mill stacks.
Instead, as is the case with the Portland
Cement NESHAP, the results of the
initial and subsequent performance tests
for the alkali bypass and in-line coal
mill stacks can be used to determine the
combined emissions to demonstrate
compliance with the relevant emissions
limit. However, unlike the Portland
Cement NESHAP, the performance test
must be conducted on an annual basis
(between 11 and 13 calendar months
following the previous performance test)
to keep the testing schedule for these
stacks consistent with the CISWI rule’s
annual performance testing
requirements.
Section IV of this preamble discusses
these issues in further detail and
presents the revisions necessary to
address each issue.
Additionally, the EPA is clarifying
certain applicability provisions relating
to incinerator units and air curtain
incinerator units subject to the 2000
CISWI NSPS and is correcting various
typographical errors identified in the
rule as published in the CFR. Section V
of this preamble discusses these issues
in further detail.
The EPA is also finalizing the
proposed amendments to the final rule
by removing the affirmative defense
provision for the reasons set forth in the
proposed rule. See 80 FR 3018, 3025
(January 21, 2015).
C. Other Actions We Are Taking
Section 307(d)(7)(B) of the CAA states
that ‘‘[o]nly an objection to a rule or
procedure which was raised with
reasonable specificity during the period
for public comment (including any
public hearing) may be raised during
judicial review. If the person raising an
objection can demonstrate to the
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
Administrator that it was impracticable
to raise such objection within such time
or if the grounds for such objection
arose after the period for public
comment (but within the time specified
for judicial review) and if such objection
is of central relevance to the outcome of
the rule, the Administrator shall
convene a proceeding for
reconsideration of the rule and provide
the same procedural rights as would
have been afforded had the information
been available at the time the rule was
proposed. If the Administrator refuses to
convene such a proceeding, such person
may seek review of such refusal in the
United States court of appeals for the
appropriate circuit (as provided in
subsection (b)).’’
As to the first procedural criterion for
reconsideration, a petitioner must show
why the issue could not have been
presented during the comment period,
either because it was impracticable to
raise the issue during that time or
because the grounds for the issue arose
after the period for public comment (but
within 60 days of publication of the
final action). The EPA is denying the
petitions for reconsideration on a
number of issues because this criterion
has not been met. In many cases, the
petitions reiterate comments made on
the proposed December 2011 rule
during the public comment period for
that rule. On those issues, the EPA
responded to those comments in the
final rule and made appropriate
revisions to the proposed rule after
consideration of public comments
received. It is well established that an
agency may refine its proposed
approach without providing an
additional opportunity for public
comment. See Community Nutrition
Institute v. Block, 749 F.2d at 58 and
International Fabricare Institute v. EPA,
972 F.2d 384, 399 (D.C. Cir. 1992)
(notice and comment is not intended to
result in ‘‘interminable back-andforth[,]’’ nor is an agency required to
provide additional opportunity to
comment on its response to comments)
and Small Refiner Lead Phase-Down
Task Force v. EPA, 705 F.2d 506, 547
(D.C. Cir. 1983) (‘‘notice requirement
should not force an agency endlessly to
repropose a rule because of minor
changes’’).
In the EPA’s view, an objection is of
central relevance to the outcome of the
rule only if it provides substantial
support for the argument that the
promulgated regulation should be
revised. See Union Oil v. EPA, 821 F.2d
768, 683 (D.C. Cir. 1987) (court declined
to remand rule because petitioners
failed to show substantial likelihood
that final rule would have been changed

discussion of the standard for
reconsideration under CAA section
307(d)(7)(B).
This action includes our final
decision to deny the requests for
reconsideration with respect to all
issues raised in the petitions for
reconsideration of the final 2013 CISWI
rule for which we did not grant
reconsideration. These denied requests
for reconsideration are discussed in
detail in the ‘‘Reconsideration issues on
the 2013 final rule’’ memorandum
found in the docket to this rulemaking.
III. Summary of Significant Changes
Since Proposal
The EPA did not propose revisions to
the definition of ‘‘CEMS data during
startup and shutdown,’’ but requested
comment and suggestions for provisions
in this definition that would address the
transitional operation period at startup.
Based on our review of comments
received and suggestions on provisions,
we are finalizing revised subcategoryspecific definitions for ‘‘CEMS data
during startup and shutdown’’ that are
operationally representative for the
subcategory of unit, and more closely
resemble the non-waste burning
regulatory definitions of these periods of
operation. This issue, and the rationale
for doing so, are discussed in greater
detail in section IV.A. of this preamble.
Similarly, the EPA did not propose
PM emission limits for waste-burning
kilns based on test average data instead
of test run data, but requested comment
on the appropriateness of such an
approach for this set of data. Upon
consideration of comments, the EPA has
determined to adopt the emission limits
based on test average data for PM for the
waste-burning kiln subcategory, and we
have discussed our rationale for this in
section IV.B. of this preamble.
The EPA did not propose but
requested comment and additional data
concerning the need for a FVF for coalfired ERUs. Potential emission limits
based on periods of non-waste
combustion and, if applicable, a FVF for
coal ERUs were discussed in the
proposal for coal-burning ERUs for Cd,
HCl, Hg, Pb, PM, and NOX. Based on
comments and additional analysis, the
EPA is adopting these emission limits
and also incorporating a FVF into the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:31 Jun 22, 2016
Jkt 238001
floor calculations for the SO2 emission
limit. The EPA did not discuss a FVF for
SO2 at proposal because the sulfur data
the EPA had intended to use to develop
the FVF appeared to have only one data
point that could be paired with SO2
emissions test data. It was brought to the
EPA’s attention during the comment
period, however, that there were in fact
two data points in the sulfur data set
that could be paired with emissions test
data. It was not initially clear that the
coal samples dated 4–9 days prior to the
emissions test were paired samples.
However, during the comment period, a
commenter informed the EPA these data
were paired and the different dates were
due to the lag time between sampling
and actual combustion. This
clarification enabled the EPA to
determine that sufficient paired data
exist for the calculation of a FVF for
SO2, which resulted in a revised SO2
emission limit of 850 ppmvd for new
and existing coal ERUs. Consistent with
the January 21, 2015 proposal, the EPA
is adopting this revised emission limit
to account for the fuel variability for this
subcategory of CISWI units. Section
IV.C of this preamble discusses this
issue in further detail and responds to
comments on the issue.
Additionally, the HCl CEMS
requirements for waste-burning kilns
not equipped with acid gas wet or dry
scrubbers have been revised in response
to comments and to be more consistent
with more recently promulgated
monitoring provisions included in the
Portland Cement NESHAP rule. These
revised provisions allow sources to use
CEMS installed and operated according
to either Performance Specification 15
or Performance Specification 18 to
continuously monitor HCl emissions.
The revised provisions also provide
additional clarification and detail to
sources on the procedures to use for
calibrating and verifying the
performance of the HCl CEMS.
IV. Summary of Significant Comments
and Responses
This section of the preamble
summarizes the major comments
received regarding the reconsidered
issues and the EPA’s responses in
support of this final rule. For other
comments not discussed here, refer to
the ‘‘Summary of Public Comments and
Responses for Commercial and
Industrial Solid Waste Incineration
Units: 2015 Reconsideration and Final
Amendments’’ in the docket.
A. Definition of ‘‘CEMS Data During
Startup and Shutdown Periods’’
Background: In the January 21, 2015,
proposal, the EPA requested comments
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
40959
on the definition of ‘‘CEMS data during
startup and shutdown’’ that was in the
February 2013 final rule. As
background, the 2011 CISWI final rule
contained CEMS monitoring
requirements for carbon monoxide (CO)
from new sources, including a provision
that mandated a 7 percent oxygen
correction. After the 2011 CISWI final
rule was published, petitioners
indicated that correcting CO
concentration measurements to 7
percent oxygen is problematic during
startup and shutdown periods when the
flue gas oxygen content approaches the
oxygen content of ambient air,
especially with regard to the ERU
subcategory. Oxygen contents are often
maintained relatively close to ambient
air during combustion unit startup and
shutdown in order to safely operate the
unit, but, as a result, the corrected CO
values during these periods are
artificially inflated due to the oxygen
correction calculation. Petitioners
presented data that demonstrated how
these inflated data points drive the 30day rolling average values beyond the
emission limit.
To resolve this issue, the EPA
determined that the 7 percent oxygen
correction would not be required for
CEMS data collected during periods of
startup and shutdown, referred to and
defined as ‘‘CEMS data during startup
and shutdown.’’
Based on data submitted for coalburning ERUs, a new definition of
‘‘CEMS data during startup and
shutdown’’ was proposed in the
December 2011 reconsideration
proposal that referred to the data
collected during the first 4 hours of
operation of an energy recovery unit
starting up from a cold start and the
hour of operation following the
cessation of waste material being fed to
the unit during shutdown.
The EPA received comments on the
proposed definition expressing concern
that the time limits included in the
definition may not accurately represent
all CISWI unit types. Further,
commenters argued that the same logic
should apply for all CEMS-measured
emission limits, not just CO. They
explained that, even though CEMS is a
compliance alternative rather than a
requirement for most CISWI standards,
other air regulations and permit
requirements may require the units to
continue to monitor emissions using
CEMS data. Therefore, in the February
2013 CISWI final rule, the definition
was revised to include all pollutants
measured with a CEMS, expanded to
include a separate definition for wasteburning kilns, and revised to remove the
4-hour and 1-hour time limits in the

asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
40960
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 121 / Thursday, June 23, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
definition. Within that definition, the
EPA defined the end of the startup
period and the beginning of the
shutdown period as the introduction
and cessation of waste fed to the unit,
respectively. Information available for
the best performing units described
their typical operation and supported
defining the startup and shutdown
periods based on the introduction and
cessation of waste being fed to the units.
Furthermore, for the incinerator, small
remote incinerator, and the ERU
subcategories, the February 2013 action
specified an upper limit of 48 hours for
startup periods and 24 hours for
shutdown periods of CEMS data,
consistent with information provided by
commenters.
After the February 2013 CISWI final
rule was promulgated, the EPA received
petitions stating that stakeholders did
not have the opportunity to comment on
the final definition, especially the
clause that defines the beginning and
ending of these periods as the
introduction and cessation, respectively,
of waste material being fed to the
combustor. Petitioners argued that, with
the inclusion of the provision ending
startup when waste is added to the unit,
the end of startup will occur too early
because units that combust waste often
introduce waste before steady state
operations to transition from startup
fuel to waste and other primary fuel
combustion. For this reason, the
petitioners argued that the EPA should
extend the startup period duration to
include the period of time when sources
are transitioning to waste combustion
from the startup fuel.
On January 21, 2015, the EPA
requested comment on whether the
definition should be revised to extend
the startup period to include this
transitional period of combustor
operation. In addition, the EPA
requested that commenters suggest
provisions that would ensure adequate
application of the CEMS data during
startup and shutdown definition, such
as maximum allowable time limits after
introduction of waste, if the agency
were to allow solid waste combustion
during startup.
Comment: Several commenters
supported, to a degree, the EPA’s change
in the 2013 final rule from the proposed
4-hour and 1-hour time limits on the
definitions of CEMS data during startup
and shutdown to the more subcategoryspecific definitions found in the 2013
final rule, but suggested additional
revisions to make the definition more
accurately reflect these periods for
certain types of units. Commenters
noted technical reasons during startup
that cause corrected emissions

18:31 Jun 22, 2016
Jkt 238001
concentrations to possibly show
emissions in excess of those occurring
during normal, steady-state operation
due to the 7 percent oxygen correction.
These reasons included: (1) Stack
oxygen levels approach ambient levels,
inflating oxygen correction factors even
though mass emission rates are low; (2)
the combustor has not attained optimal
temperature, turbulence, and residence
time conditions, which are key factors
for control of combustion-related
emissions; and (3) air pollution control
equipment has not achieved necessary
minimum temperature and/or other
operating conditions necessary for
effective steady-state performance on
which the standards are based. The
commenters also asserted that, while
elevated emissions do occur during
startups, the magnitude and period of
elevated emissions will be actively
minimized as required by the ‘‘general
duty’’ provisions to minimize emissions
at all times including startups and
shutdowns. Additionally, the
commenters argued that, for ERUs, at
least, unit operators are economically
motivated to minimize the duration of
any startups, because the shorter the
startup, the quicker a unit can be
brought online to sell steam and/or
connect to the grid and sell power. Also
with respect to ERUs, commenters
stated that units firing solid material on
grates or in fluidized beds require more
time for the material to fully ignite and
achieve the optimal combustion
conditions than gaseous or liquid-fired
units do. The commenters stated that
elevated corrected emission
concentrations following initial solid
material firing is an inherent
characteristic of ERU subcategories such
as stoker and fluidized bed biomass
ERUs. In conclusion, the commenters
recommended that, given the virtually
identical technologies used for both
boilers and CISWI ERUs, the EPA
should incorporate language in the
CEMS data definition similar to that
which it proposed in the major source
and area source Boiler NESHAP rules.
One commenter provided mark-up
language reflecting major source boiler
language in the ‘‘CEMS data for startup
and shutdown’’ definition that would
apply specifically to CISWI ERUs, and
a separate definition that could apply to
incinerators and small remote
incinerators. For ERUs, the commenter
suggested the following definition,
which eliminates the ‘‘cold start’’ and
‘‘until waste is fed to the unit’’ language,
and adds the concept of tying the CEMS
data during startup period to the time
that useful thermal energy is generated.
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
The commenter suggested that CEMS
data during startup and shutdown
should be defined as follows:
For energy recovery units: CEMS data
collected during the first hours of
operation of a CISWI unit startup
including the hours of operation firing
non-waste fuel and the hours following
introduction of waste to the unit until
4 hours after when the ERU makes
useful thermal energy (such as steam or
heat) for heating, cooling, and process
purposes, or generates electricity,
whichever is earlier, and the hours of
operation following the cessation of
waste material being fed to the CISWI
unit during a unit shutdown. For each
startup event, the length of time that
CEMS data may be claimed as being
CEMS data during startup must be 48
operating hours or less. For each
shutdown event, the length of time that
CEMS data may be claimed as being
CEMS data during shutdown must be 24
operating hours or less.
As an alternative to the above
definition, the commenter suggested the
definition could include the period of
time up to 6 hours following
introduction of waste to the unit instead
of tying the definition to ‘‘useful
thermal energy.’’ The commenter noted
that this might allow the definition to be
applicable to incinerators and small
remote incinerators.
Another commenter suggested that
the first 48 hours of startup and the last
24 hours of shutdown for incinerators,
small remote incinerators, and energy
recovery units is adequate in most cases.
This commenter stated that any time the
feed to a combustion chamber is
modified (e.g., new material added,
same material with higher or lower feed
rates), the combustion process is
disturbed. The commenter further stated
that the length of time it takes for the
combustion process to re-stabilize
depends upon a number of factors (size
of the combustion unit, amount of waste
introduced, the Btu content of the waste
introduced, the combustibility of that
waste, the operating conditions, etc.).
Therefore, the commenter
recommended that the CEMS data
during startup and shutdown are best
decided on a site-specific basis and
urged the EPA to allow this as an
option.
With respect to waste-burning kilns,
one commenter argued that it is highly
beneficial to have the definitions of
startup and shutdown for kilns in the
CISWI rule match the definitions in the
Portland Cement NESHAP. Therefore,
the commenter supported having a
separate definition of CEMS data during
startup and shutdown that applied to
waste-burning kilns, and that this
E:\FR\FM\23JNR2.SGM
23JNR2
asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 121 / Thursday, June 23, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
definition should also reflect provisions
found in the Portland Cement NESHAP.
The commenter provided the following
language as a suggestion on what would
be appropriate, and also suggested a
corresponding footnote to clarify that
the 7 percent oxygen adjustment need
not be applied during periods of startup
and shutdown:
‘‘CEMS data during startup and
shutdown means the following: (2) For
waste-burning kilns: CEMS data
collected during the periods of kiln
operation that do not include normal
operations. Startup means the time from
when a shutdown kiln first begins firing
fuel until it begins producing clinker.
Startup begins when a shutdown kiln
turns on the induced draft fan and
begins firing fuel in the main burner.
Startup ends when feed is being
continuously introduced into the kiln
for at least 120 minutes or when the
feed rate exceeds 60 percent of the kiln
design limitation rate, whichever occurs
first. Shutdown means the cessation of
kiln operation. Shutdown begins when
feed to the kiln is halted and ends when
continuous kiln rotation ceases.’’
Response: Based on these comments
and the EPA’s goal to provide, where
appropriate, consistent regulatory
provisions, the EPA has determined to
revise the definition of ‘‘CEMS data
during startup and shutdown’’ to be
subcategory-specific. For ERUs and
waste-burning kilns, for example, the
definition will reflect definitions similar
to those of the non-waste counterpart
NESHAP to CISWI for the type of
source. Therefore, the final definition
for ERUs will reflect provisions found in
the major source Boiler NESHAP, and
the final definition for waste-burning
kilns will reflect provisions similar to
those in the Portland Cement NESHAP.
For incinerators and small remote
incinerators, the proposed definition
(i.e., from a cold start and up to 48 hours
for startup and 24 hours or less for
shutdown) will still apply. These
subcategory-specific definitions provide
a consistent basis for ERUs and kilns
that may change applicability
periodically so that owners and
operators will have a consistent
requirement for demonstrating
compliance regardless of the mode
(waste or non-waste) the unit is being
operated in. Furthermore, for
incinerators and small remote
incinerators, industry commenters are
confident that the full range of these
sources will be able to maintain
compliance with these time allowances
that were proposed.
We note that certain commenters
indicate that reasons for changing the
definitions include that the units may
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:31 Jun 22, 2016
Jkt 238001
have greater emissions during startup
and shutdown and also that pollution
control equipment may not be fully
operational during startup. The EPA is
not revising the definitions to allow
sources to violate the standard; instead
the change is designed to better reflect
the actual operating conditions during
startup and shutdown. The oxygen
correction is thus designed to allow
sources to use actual stack oxygen levels
during these periods instead of numbers
corrected to 7 percent oxygen.1 If
sources believe that, even with the stack
oxygen correction, emissions will
exceed the levels of the standard
because of incomplete combustion or
because air pollution controls are not
fully operational, they must take steps
(e.g., burn clean startup fuel for longer
periods) to ensure compliance.
Finally, the subcategory-specific
definitions of ‘‘CEMS data during
startup and shutdown’’ in this final rule
more clearly specify the beginning and
end of startup and shutdown periods for
each subcategory of CISWI unit.
However, we realize in doing so that the
previous, separate definitions of
‘‘startup period’’ and ‘‘shutdown’’ that
have been held over from the 2000
CISWI rule may now cause confusion
for waste-burning kilns and ERUs
especially. Because the 2000 CISWI rule
applied to incinerator units (and not
ERUs and waste-burning kilns), we
recognize the need to clarify that the
‘‘startup period’’ and ‘‘shutdown’’
definitions apply only to incinerators
and small, remote incinerators. For this
reason, the EPA is revising the
definitions of ‘‘startup period’’ and
‘‘shutdown’’ to clarify that they are
intended to apply only to incinerators
and small, remote incinerators.
Comment: One commenter argued
that allowing sources to comply with
emissions standards based on
uncorrected emissions measurements
would be unlawful and arbitrary. The
commenter explained that the EPA does
not claim that all units will have oxygen
levels close to the ambient air, that any
units’ oxygen levels will actually be at
the level of the ambient air during these
periods, or that any units’ oxygen levels
will be at that high level consistently.
The commenter suggested that the EPA
should instead consider several other
approaches. First, the commenter
suggested that the EPA could require
sources to show compliance during
these periods using another method,
1 Stack oxygen data must still be measured during
these periods, but since a correction to stack oxygen
essentially means multiplying the measured
concentration by 1, the concentration value
measured at stack oxygen is used to calculate
average concentrations.

Frm 00007

such as stack tests. The commenter
stated that the EPA recognized that
CEMS are a compliance alternative
rather than a requirement for most
CISWI standards. The commenter also
argued that the EPA stated it is
maintaining CEMS as a compliance
alternative during these periods because
‘‘other air regulations and permit
requirements may require’’ CEMS data.
However, the commenter argued that
the EPA did not state what these other
requirements are, or why the same
CEMS problems it has identified here do
not apply to them. The commenter
further argued that even if other
regulatory requirements do require
sources to maintain CEMS data, that
does not compel the EPA to accept their
data as demonstrative of compliance
with the requirements of the
performance standards and emissions
guidelines for air pollution from CISWI.
The commenter also suggested that, if
the CEMS compliance alternative were
retained, the EPA could require sources
to correct their measurements to the
level of oxygen actually present, as
measured by an oxygen analyzer or
another method. Finally, the commenter
offered as an alternative that the EPA
could develop mass-based limits instead
of concentration-based limits, which do
not require oxygen correction. The
commenter concluded that, because the
EPA has not even considered these
alternatives, the proposal to allow
sources to show compliance based on
measurements it does not dispute will
be inaccurate is arbitrary as well as
unlawful.
Response: As we noted in the
proposed rule, the rules generally
require stack emissions testing. These
tests can span several hours. The CISWI
rule emission limits were based on data
obtained during normal operations,
which is also what the rule requires for
conducting performance testing (see 40
CFR 60.2125(a) and 40 CFR 60.2690(a)).
As has been noted in other comments
and in the costing analyses presented in
support of the CISWI rulemaking, the
emission testing program is not trivial in
cost and effort. Therefore, adding a
requirement for additional stack testing
during startup and shutdown periods,
which seems to be what this commenter
suggests, would further add to the
compliance cost of the rule for obtaining
data for a small portion of the source’s
operations. The EPA does not believe
this additional monitoring is required to
assure compliance with the standards.
As noted before and by some
commenters, monitoring by CEMS is an
alternative, and may be useful for
sources that are required by permit or
for Acid Rain program requirements (40
E:\FR\FM\23JNR2.SGM
23JNR2

40962
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 121 / Thursday, June 23, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
CFR part 75) to continually monitor
emissions of certain pollutants,
primarily NOX and SO2. The EPA
realized that the interaction of newly
applicable CISWI standards to ERUs and
waste-burning kilns may differ from
existing requirements for these sources
developed under the Acid Rain
program, permit requirements enacted
for state or local conditions, or even
under various consent decrees. The EPA
also recognizes that different programs
measure and evaluate emissions for
various purposes and in differing
formats (e.g., lb/MMBtu), and therefore
disagrees with the commenter’s
assertions that if these other programs
do not need these provisions, then
neither should CISWI. In fact, the EPA
maintains that the reasons other
programs may not require separate
definitions is because they already have
separate startup and shutdown
requirements in place for the program.
For example, appendix F of 40 CFR part
75 allows sources to calculate a NOX
emission rate using a ‘‘diluent cap’’
during periods of operation (startup and
shutdown) where CO2 and O2 are near
ambient air levels.2 As many
commenters have noted, these ‘‘CEMS
data during startup and shutdown’’
revisions being finalized are necessary
to make attainable the CISWI
requirement for the standards to ‘‘apply
at all times’’ for sources that are
otherwise required to measure
emissions using CEMS or that opt to
measure emissions continually. Further,
the EPA does acknowledge that there
are instances, such as this one, where
consistent regulatory provisions will
make compliance demonstrations easier
for affected sources and implementing
agencies while still maintaining the
integrity and goals of the regulation.
That is the case here, where multiple
programs may require or allow CEMS
data for continuous compliance
demonstrations.
The commenter also suggested that
either using CEMS data corrected to
stack oxygen or developing a massbased standard should be investigated.
In essence, though, the revised
provisions allow CEMS data to be
‘‘corrected to’’ stack oxygen levels (that
is, the numerator and denominator of
the oxygen correction are equal, so the
correction factor equals 1). Sources must
still measure and record concentrations
and stack oxygen levels during these
periods, and must keep records of

periods of CEMS data that are being
claimed as periods of startup and
shutdown (See 40 CFR 60.2175(p) and
40 CFR 60.2740(o)). As many
commenters have already noted, the
oxygen levels fluctuate widely during
startup and shutdown periods, so any
basis other than using stack oxygen
levels for correction during this period
would run into the same type of
calculation issue that we are attempting
to remedy. Similarly, a mass-based
standard for CISWI units would be a
significant departure from the format of
the existing standards, further
complicating compliance
demonstrations by the facility and
assessment by the implementing agency.
In order to develop a calculation-based
approach, the EPA would need to have
information on the specific materials
being fed and resultant emissions for
each of the best performing units during
startup and shutdown periods. These
are data that we do not have and the
commenter did not provide any
recommendations on an approach that
the EPA could consider absent these
data. In addition, the EPA did not
reopen the specific standards or form of
the standards in the proposed rule, and
we decline to establish mass-based
emission standards for that reason as
well. We are not revising the standards,
but are revising only the monitoring
provisions of the standards to ensure
that CEMS data collected are
representative of actual emissions
during startup and shutdown periods
and are not being artificially inflated or
influenced due to the 7 percent oxygen
correction. In the revisions, these
intervals are clearly defined and specific
to the unit type to ensure this period is
reasonable to ensure safe operation
while minimizing emissions.
B. PM Limit for the Waste-Burning Kiln
Subcategory
Background: In the January 21, 2015,
proposal, the EPA solicited comments
on the data set used to determine PM
limits for new and existing wasteburning kilns in the February 2013 final
rule.
The March 2011 CISWI final rule
promulgated PM emissions limits of 6.2
milligrams per dry standard cubic meter
(mg/dscm) for existing units, and 2.5
mg/dscm for new units, both corrected
to 7 percent oxygen. In an action
parallel to the March 21, 2011, final
CISWI rule, the EPA promulgated a final
rule that identifies the standards and
procedures for identifying whether nonhazardous secondary materials (NHSM)
are or are not solid waste when used as
fuels or ingredients in combustion units.
The EPA defines the NHSM that are
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
solid waste under RCRA in the final
‘‘Identification of Non-Hazardous
Secondary Materials That Are Solid
Waste’’ rulemaking. The RCRA
definition of solid waste is integral in
defining the CISWI source category.
Commercial and industrial units that
combust solid waste are subject to
standards issued pursuant to CAA
section 129, rather than to standards
issued pursuant to CAA section 112 that
would otherwise be applicable to such
units (e.g., boilers, process heaters and
cement kilns). Cement kilns combusting
solid waste are waste-burning kilns
subject to CISWI, not the otherwise
applicable Portland Cement NESHAP.
Following promulgation of the 2011
CISWI rule, the EPA again analyzed the
materials being combusted in the entire
national inventory of Portland cement
kilns in light of the revisions to the
NHSM rule, and made revisions to the
CISWI waste-burning kiln inventory.
When kilns were added to the inventory
and their emissions data considered, the
resulting NSPS and EG PM emission
limits proposed in the December 2011
reconsideration were less stringent than
those established in the March 2011
CISWI final rule.
Following the December 2011
reconsideration proposal, the EPA
learned that one of the kilns in the
CISWI inventory was no longer burning
waste, and another kiln that was not
thought to be burning waste materials
was doing so. The CISWI waste-burning
kiln inventory was revised during the
period between proposal and final to
reflect these changes, and the database
updated to include emissions data for
the newly identified unit, as well as
some additional test reports obtained for
units within the inventory. The EPA
calculated the maximum achievable
control technology (MACT) floors after
making the appropriate revisions to the
inventory and the new NSPS and EG
PM emission limits were more stringent
than those proposed in the December
2011 reconsideration proposal. Table 1
of this preamble tracks the progression
of the waste-burning kiln PM limits
from the March 2011 final rule through
the February 2013 final rule.
Throughout the CISWI rulemaking
process from March 2011 through
February 2013, the EPA used the same
calculation methodology (i.e., the upper
prediction limit calculated from a
population of individual test runs) to
establish the emission limits for wasteburning kilns. However, the data set
used in these calculations has changed
and grown over this period of time as
the agency has revised the CISWI
inventory based on information
submitted to the agency by the regulated
E:\FR\FM\23JNR2.SGM

asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 121 / Thursday, June 23, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
community and new data are submitted.
As a result, a petitioner has suggested
that the current PM emission data set for
waste-burning kilns is robust enough to
warrant using 3-run emission test
averages as the data population rather
than the individual test runs. According
to the commenter, using this approach
to calculate emission limits would
result in PM emission limits that are
different than those of the February
2013 CISWI final rule.
In the context of MACT analyses, as
the EPA noted in the January 21, 2015
proposal, emission test averages or
individual test run data can be used to
determine emissions variability of best
performers. We also noted that we
typically use individual test runs, but
for categories with data from 15 3 or
more sources, which would provide at
least 45 test runs, we may choose to use
test averages. In these larger data sets,
the use of test averages are likely to be
sufficiently representative of long term
performance and variability without the
need for use of the individual test runs.
In the January 21, 2015 proposal, the
EPA solicited comment on the data set
used in the February 2013 final rule, as
well as whether this data set warrants a
different calculation approach due to its
size or other factors. See the memoranda
titled ‘‘Potential Emission Limits
Calculation Analyses for Waste-burning
Kilns and Coal ERUs,’’ ‘‘Approach for
Applying the Upper Prediction Limit to
Limited Data Sets,’’ and ‘‘Use of the
Upper Prediction Limit for Calculating
MACT Floors’’ in the CISWI docket for
more details.
Comment: Two commenters
supported the use of emission test
averages to determine emission
standards. One commenter strongly
believed that use of test averages is the
only valid way to conduct calculations
of upper predictive limit (UPL) or other
variability analyses because only test
averages, and not individual test runs,
are statistically independent from one
another, as the UPL calculation requires.
Both commenters argued that it is
crucial that the UPL calculation reflect
the actual variability of compliance test
results for the best performing kilns that
set the floors, and stated that this goal
is best accomplished by using stack test
results (which are the average of three
consecutive test runs) in the UPL
calculation, rather than using test runs
3 The 15 test average number discussed in the
January 21, 2015 proposal was not a ‘‘bright line’’
value used to establish a possible threshold for
when test runs versus test averages may be selected.
Rather, this number was an illustrative number that
was being discussed as an example in internal EPA
discussions at the time the proposal was being
written.

as individual data points. One
commenter noted that the data set for
PM emissions from waste-burning kilns
is among the largest for any source
category or pollutant in the CISWI rule,
consisting of 24 stack tests (equivalent
to 72 individual test runs) for the pool
of three best performers.
One commenter described control
measures that Portland Cement
NESHAP and waste-burning kilns will
need to take to meet the 13.5 mg/dscm
limit for existing waste-burning kilns
that was discussed, noting that
baghouse equipment will still need to be
improved at many kilns to meet this
limit. The commenter also pointed out
that the performance of a baghouse on
a kiln is comparable whether it is a
Portland Cement NESHAP kiln or a
CISWI kiln. The commenter went on to
use this discussion and data from the
Portland Cement NESHAP analyses to
support the 13.5 mg/dscm limit (which
equates to 0.075 lb/ton clinker on a
production basis, as compared to the
existing kiln PM limit of 0.07 lb/ton
clinker in the Portland Cement
NESHAP) and to demonstrate that the
current beyond-the-floor analysis done
for the 2013 CISWI final rule is still
applicable despite the new PM emission
limit.
Response: We agree that the data set
for PM for existing waste-burning kilns
is sufficiently large to support using
stack test averages, as some commenters
have supported. For new sources, the
EPA realizes that there is a smaller
number of data points available when
test averages are considered since only
the data from the best-performing source
are included in the calculation.4
However, as the EPA has intended
within each of the CISWI subcategories,
a consistent approach to the emission
limit calculation is used for existing and
new sources within a subcategory (e.g.,
upper limit for small remote, UPL for
waste-burning kilns). That is, in the case
of PM for waste-burning kilns, the UPL
using test averages is being used to
calculate both existing and new source
emission limits.
We also note that, for this particular
data set, there are distinct advantages to
using this approach. One advantage is
that there is a significant amount of test
data for the best-performing source.
These runs reflect various fuel and
waste material firing conditions for the
best-performing unit. By splitting the
data for the best-performing source into
sets of three according to the operational
condition (waste or non-waste), each of
4 Although this data set is smaller than that for
existing sources, the EPA does not consider the new
source data set to be a small or limited data set.

the resulting averages is more
representative of the fuel, waste, and
operational variability demonstrated by
the other 3-run test averages found in
the data set for this source and for the
other existing source best performers. In
other words, the time periods—and
variability in process inputs and
operations these periods represent—are
approximately equal for each data point
in the average data set for existing and
new sources. This approach also has the
added benefit of a slightly larger time
period of operations being represented
by the data, since there is one additional
average that can be included in the data
pool (i.e., no test run data are available,
but the average is).
We also reviewed the information
submitted by the commenters on the
costs and emission improvement
requirements existing kilns will need to
undertake to meet the revised emission
limits, as well as our own assessment of
control improvements needed, and
agree with the assessment that beyondthe-floor emission standards for wasteburning kiln PM limits are unwarranted.
In our analysis, the same kilns that
would need improvements for the 2013
PM limits still need to add these
improvements to meet the 13.5 mg/
dscm standards (as well as the CISWI
limits for Cd and Pb, which are not
being revised but are also controlled by
PM control devices). The technology
most likely being used to meet the
standards would be fabric filters
(baghouses), which is a physical control
technology. Information supplied by the
industry indicate that many cement
kilns will require highly efficient fabric
filters to meet the 13.5 mg/dscm
standards. Fabric filters do not have a
variable component, such as sorbent
injection rates, that can be varied easily
once the system is designed and the
filter media specified. Therefore, unlike
other control technologies, the PM
removal efficiency of fabric filters does
not depend on other factors in the
process and control device’s
performance will essentially be the
same regardless of other process inputs.
Therefore, the EPA is finalizing the 13.5
mg/dscm and 4.9 mg/dscm emission
limits discussed at proposal for existing
and new waste-burning kilns,
respectively, based on the analysis of
emission test average data.
The calculated PM emission limits
using the test averages are presented in
Table 1 of this preamble for comparison.

Comment: One commenter disagreed
with the proposed approach of using
stack test average data, arguing that
because the EPA’s standards are already
set at the floor, and the floor is the
minimum stringency permitted by the
CAA, the EPA’s proposed change is
unlawful at Chevron step one.5 The
commenter further argued that the EPA
does not give any statutory reasons for
its proposed change, and therefore its
proposal is unreasonable at Chevron
step two. NRDC v. EPA, No. 12–1321,
slip op. at 23 (D.C. Cir. Dec. 23, 2014)
(‘‘EPA must ‘ground its reasons for
action or inaction in the statute.’ ’’)
(quoting Util. Air Regulatory Grp. v.
EPA, 134 S. Ct. 2427, 2441 (2014)). The
commenter contended that the only
reason the EPA gives in support of this
change is that the data set for kilns is
relatively large and so switching to test
averages instead of individual test runs
‘‘is expected to make very little
difference.’’ The commenter concluded
that the EPA’s proposed change
illustrates that the UPL approach is
unlawful and arbitrary because it does
not yield reasonable estimates of the
‘‘average emission limitation achieved’’
by the best performing units. An
industry commenter asserted that the
stack test averages yield reasonable
estimates of the average emission
limitation achieved by the best
performing units, and referred to their
original comment submittal to the
proposed rule as support. The
commenter then repeated that the EPA
should use stack test averages in the
UPL calculation whenever there are
sufficient data to support their use. The
5 Chevron
commenter concluded that the use of
test runs can be justified only when the
limited availability of emissions data
demands the use of test runs; this is not
the case in the CISWI PM limit for kilns.
Response: As discussed earlier, the
EPA incorporated considerable new
data and moved kilns from the NESHAP
to CISWI between the proposed and
final CISWI reconsideration concluded
in 2013. The inclusion of additional
sources and data lead to more stringent
standards and the public was not
provided an opportunity to comment on
those limits and the manner of their
calclulation. For this reason, parties
petitioned EPA to reconsider those
limits consistent with CAA section
307(d)(7)(B), and the EPA granted
reconsideration consistent with the
statute to provide the public an
opportunity to comment. The EPA
maintains that its actions in response to
the changed circumstances (i.e., new
data and sources) and the petitions for
reconsideration are consistent with the
statute and, for this reason, we reject the
commenter’s argument that EPA has
somehow violated the standard setting
provisions of section 112.
Further, we have determined that the
data set for existing waste-burning kilns
for PM is sufficient to address longerterm performance and variability among
the best-performing sources and justifies
the use of test average data. While the
data set for new waste-burning kilns is
smaller in count than that of the existing
sources, it is not considered a small data
set, and the EPA has concerns about not
treating variability consistently between
existing and new source emission limits
within the same subcategory.
With respect to the commenter’s
arguments about the UPL calculation
methodology, the EPA did not open the
UPL calculation methodology for
reconsideration, so we are not
responding to the commenter’s
arguments on this issue.
C. FVF for Coal-Burning Energy
Recovery Units
Background: In the January 21, 2015,
proposal, the EPA requested comments
and supporting data regarding the need
to establish an FVF for the ERU solids
(coal) subcategory. In particular, the
EPA requested comments on using stack
test data from coal-only periods of
operation in our emission limit
calculations, and whether the EPA
should re-evaluate the NOX emission
limit by using the additional CEMS data
provided for the best-performing unit.
The preamble to the 2013 final CISWI
rule (78 FR 9112, February 7, 2013)
explained the methodology used to
establish the final emission limits,
which relied almost exclusively on
direct emissions measurements. A
petitioner requested that EPA reconsider
the decision not to incorporate fuel
variability into the emission limit
calculations for coal-fired ERUs based
on new information.
Table 2 of this preamble presents a
comparison of the 2013 final rule
emission limits for existing coal ERUs
and the emission limits calculated using
all data available (i.e., waste and coalonly modes of operation), FVF
calculation techniques, and the
additional CEMS data provided by the
petitioner.

2 Unable to calculate FVF, final emission limit reflects use of additional data for coal-only mode of operation.
3 Based on maximum ratio in data set to calculate FVF for final emission limit. If average ratios were used instead, HCl emission limit would be
19 (parts per million by volume) ppmv and Pb would be 0.047 mg/dscm.
Comment: Several commenters
supported the revision of these emission
limits, claiming that the EPA should
account for all sources of emissions
variability. Commenters argued that
adjustments for fuel variability should
be based on worst case conditions so
that the floors represent the emission
limitations that the best performers can
achieve under the worst foreseeable
circumstances. They maintained that
emissions test data only reflect the
pollutant content of a unit’s inputs at
the time of emissions testing, noting that
fuel and solid waste composition vary
over time. As an example, commenters
referenced HCl data submitted for the
top performer, noting that if the HCl
limit for existing units remains at 13
ppmv (from the 2013 final CISWI rule),
the best performing unit would fail to
meet the limit consistently. The
commenters further expressed their
support for basing the FVF on the
maximum ratio of non-paired fuel data
with paired fuel data (yielding a limit of
58 ppmv) as opposed to the average
ratio (yielding a limit of 19 ppmv),
because the HCl data showed the
average-based limit was also exceeded
several times over an 8-year period. In
order to make the HCl limit achievable
in practice, the commenters concluded
that the EPA must set the final HCl limit
to 58 ppmv.
One commenter pointed out that the
consideration of fuel variability is of
particular importance because a CISWI
unit remains a CISWI unit until it ceases
to burn waste for at least 6 months. The
commenter explained that estimating
emission levels achieved when a unit
was burning waste and coal does not
reflect the level achieved when
combusting only coal. Commenters also
called attention to the boiler and
process heater standards, which account
for fuel supply variability, and
contended that the EPA should do the
same for CIWSI because ERUs would be
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:31 Jun 22, 2016
Jkt 238001
subject to the boiler standards if they
did not combust waste in addition to
fossil fuels.
One commenter indicated that the
EPA had not properly addressed fuel
variability for the SO2 emission limit.
According to the commenter, previously
submitted data showed that the 2013
final limit of 650 ppmvd would not be
high enough to allow the top performer
to comply every day under all operating
conditions. In developing the potential
limits presented in the proposed
reconsideration, the EPA did not
develop a FVF for SO2 because only one
fuel data point for sulfur was available
to be paired with SO2 emissions data.
The commenter explained that even
though only one date from the fuel data
matched up with the week of SO2 CEMS
data, the lag time between the fuel
sample date and actual combustion in
the boiler is typically 4–9 days, so
portions of both the August 14 and
August 21, 2009, coal shipments would
have been burned during the CEMS
period from August 23 through August
30, 2009. Therefore, the commenter
explained, sulfur data from these two
shipments could be paired with the
CEMS data, which would make it
appropriate to develop a FVF for SO2,
similar to what was done for HCl.
Response: The EPA is finalizing the
emission limits for Cd, HCl, Hg, Pb, PM,
and NOX that incorporate a FVF and
coal-only mode of operation data and
were discussed in the January 21, 2015
proposal. See 80 FR at 3023. In addition,
the EPA has determined that we have
sufficient data to incorporate a FVF into
the SO2 limit in the same manner as the
standards for the other section 129
pollutants above.
At proposal, the agency explained our
rationale for considering emission limits
that incorporate a FVF for fueldependent pollutants (i.e., HCl, Pb, Cd,
Hg, and SO2) [See 80 FR at 3022] and
presented the methodology [See Memo
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
titled ‘‘Potential Emission Limits
Calculations Analyses for Wasteburning Kilns and Coal ERUs, December
12, 2014] we would use to do so. We
also presented the available data. In
addition, for Cd, HCl, Hg, Pb, PM and
NOX, the EPA identified the emission
limits that incorporate a FVF and were
derived from that data and using the
proposed methodology. The proposal
did not identify a specific SO2 emission
limit that incorporated a FVF because,
as explained in the proposal, at that
time, the EPA did not believe the data
from the best performing units included
the information necessary to calculate a
FVF for SO2. See 80 FR at 3022; see also
Memo titled ‘‘Potential Emission Limits
Calculations Analyses for Wasteburning Kilns and Coal ERUs, December
12, 2014. The proposal, however, made
clear that the rationale for deciding to
incorporate a FVF into the emission
limits for coal-fired ERUs applied to all
fuel-dependent pollutants, including
SO2, and the agency provided the
methodology for incorporated a FVF.
The comments received demonstrated
that the available SO2 data from the best
performing units—the data in the docket
at the time of proposal—does in fact
include the information required to
establish a fuel variability factor.
Specifically, the EPA confirms that the
data set includes sufficient paired SO2
data to evaluate the need for a FVF.
Thus, all information necessary to
address whether a FVF should be
incorporated into the SO2 standard, and
to identify the specific SO2 emission
limit incorporating a FVF was available
in the docket at the time of proposal.
Thus, in this final rule, the EPA has reevaluated the fuel sulfur data with
paired SO2 data and is incorporating a
FVF in the floor calculations for SO2
using the same methodology that was
discussed in the proposal. The resulting
SO2 limit for existing and new coal
ERUs is 850 ppmvd.

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 121 / Thursday, June 23, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
Comment: One commenter did not
support the incorporation of FVFs in
determining emission limits, arguing
that increasing the floors to account for
variability would be unlawful and
arbitrary because the UPL methodology
used to develop the floors already
accounts for emissions variability.
According to the commenter, the floors
should not be increased further because
CAA section 129 directs that standards
should be no less stringent than the
average emissions achieved by the best
performing units. In other words, the
commenter explained, a standard must
reflect a reasonable estimate of the
actual performance of the best units.
The commenter further noted that
even if it were lawful to incorporate a
FVF at all, the FVF should be based on
the average ratio, as opposed to the
maximum ratio, because the maximum
ratio does not yield a reasonable
estimate of the average emissions
limitation achieved by the best
performing sources, yielding floors less
stringent than the statute permits.
Response: The EPA disagrees with the
argument that incorporating a FVF in
these standards overaccounts for
variability. Fuel data provided for the
top performing units show that
performance for coal-burning ERUs,
based solely on the short-term stack test
data available for these units, does not
adequately reflect the sustained
performance and different fuel inputs
that are used by the best performing
source upon which the standards were
based. As stated in response to similar
comments submitted on the Boiler
NESHAP (See EPA–HQ–OAR–2002–
0058–3511, excerpt 15, page 111), and
consistent with the DC Circuit Court
ruling, the EPA is mindful that MACT
floors need to reflect achieved
performance of the best-performing
units, that HAP (or pollutant, for CAA
section 129 rules such as CISWI)
content of process inputs (raw materials
and fuels) should be accounted for in
ascertaining the sources’ performance as
necessary, and that the EPA cannot
consider costs in ascertaining the level
of the MACT floor. See, e.g., Brick
MACT, 479 F. 3d at 880–81, 882–83;
NRDC v. EPA, 489 F. 3d 1364, 1376
(D.C. Cir. 2007) (‘‘Plywood MACT’’); see
also Cement Kiln Recycling Coalition v.
EPA, 255 F. 3d 855, 861–62 (D.C. Cir.
2001) (‘‘achievability’’ requirement of
CAA section 112 (d)(2) cannot override
the requirement that floors be calculated
on the basis of what best performers
actually achieved). The EPA is also
mindful of the need to account for
sources’ variability (both due to control
device performance and variability in
inputs) in assessing sources’
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:31 Jun 22, 2016
Jkt 238001
performance when developing
technology-based standards. See, e.g.,
Mossville Environmental Action Now v.
EPA, 370 F. 3d 1232, 1242 (D.C. Cir.
2004); National Lime I, 627 F. 2d 416,
433–34 (D.C. Cir. 1980). In most cases,
the UPL sufficiently accounts for both
control device performance and input
variability. However, in this case, a
review of the data for the bestperforming coal-burning ERUs indicated
that short-term stack test data alone did
not fully account for longer term
emissions performance in this case.
While fuels combusted within a short
term 3-hour test would be expected to
be fairly consistent in their contaminant
levels, multi-year fuel input data for the
best-performing unit show that Hg, Cl,
Pb, and sulfur levels can vary
significantly between the times the best
performing unit is combusting a
combination of waste and traditional
fuel and the times it is combusting
traditional fuels alone, and that there is
variability in the pollutant content of
the traditional fuel alone as well. In
light of this, the EPA believes it is
reasonable to incorporate a FVF for this
subcategory of CISWI units to better
reflect the performance of the best
performing coal-burning ERUs.
Regarding the commenter’s assertions
that the average ratio should be used
instead of the maximum ratio in
calculating the FVF, we note that,
unlike situations present in the Boiler
NESHAP, the best-performing units in
the coal ERU subcategory (all located at
the same facility) are not burning a
variety of fuels. These CISWI ERU units
burn coal, and periodically an industrial
waste generated at the facility.
Therefore, there is one fuel and one
waste that is input that will influence
emissions. This is not the case for the
boiler best-performers in the Boiler
NESHAP solid fuel subcategory, as these
consisted of a ‘‘mix of biomass, coal and
other solid fossil fuel’’ data (See EPA–
HQ–OAR–2002–0058–3836, August
2012). In the boiler rulemaking, the EPA
was concerned that this heterogeneous
mix of best performer fuel inputs and
the use of the maximum ratio would
overestimate fuel variability. However,
for the CISWI coal ERUs, we are dealing
with a single fuel type (coal), and the
same concern does not apply. Since
CISWI applicability extends for a period
beyond the waste-combustion periods,
variability in this one fuel influences
emissions for a significant portion of the
best-performers’ operations. Therefore,
we have determined that the maximum
ratio is appropriate in this case to fully
account for the best-performer’s
variability in fuel inputs.
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
The FVF accounts for fuel variability
between sources using long-term fuel
measurement data that represent
inherent natural variations in fuel usage
at the best performing unit over time.
The FVF is used in conjunction with the
99 percent UPL to characterize longterm variability due to technological
controls and fuel characteristics. The
results are MACT floors that reasonably
estimate the performance over time of
the best performing sources (there are
three identical units at one facility that
are best performers for this subcategory
of unit, with only one additional unit
that may be in this subcategory). These
calculations are described in more detail
in the ‘‘Revised Emission Limits and
Impacts Analyses for Waste-burning
Kilns and Coal ERUs’’ memorandum
found in the docket to this rulemaking.
For these reasons, the EPA is adopting
the revised emission limits for coal
ERUs discussed in the January 21, 2015,
proposal, and the agency is also
incorporating a FVF into the SO2 limit
as discussed above.
D. Definition of ‘‘Kiln’’
Background: In the January 21, 2015,
notice, the EPA requested comment on
its proposal to revise the definition of
‘‘kiln’’ and proposal to add definitions
of ‘‘in-line raw mill’’ and ‘‘in-line coal
mill’’ to further clarify the boundaries of
the waste-burning kiln. Because the inline raw mill and in-line coal mill are
part of the kiln, the kiln emission limits
also apply to the exhaust of the in-line
raw mill and in-line coal mill. For more
background on this issue, the EPA
discussed at length in the preamble to
the proposed Portland Cement NESHAP
a potential regulatory regime to cover
situations where a portion of the kiln
exhaust is ducted to the coal mill. See
77 FR 42383–85; see also the regulatory
text at 77 FR 42398, 42402–06, 42408–
09.
For waste-burning kilns, the EPA
proposed language in the definition of
‘‘kiln’’ to make it consistent with that of
the Portland Cement NESHAP. The
terms ‘‘in-line raw mill’’ and ‘‘in-line
coal mill’’ were proposed to be included
in the definition, and, therefore, were
proposed to be added to the definitions
within the CISWI rule.
In addition to the proposed
definitional amendments in the January
21, 2015, notice, the EPA proposed a
compliance demonstration and ongoing
monitoring method for waste-burning
kilns that combine emission streams
from the in-line raw mill and in-line
coal mill and exhaust through multiple
stacks. The EPA is finalizing the
proposed approach with some minor
revisions to address comments as
E:\FR\FM\23JNR2.SGM
23JNR2
asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 121 / Thursday, June 23, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
discussed below. The final rule will
allow sources to measure pollutant
concentrations and flows from each of
the stacks (i.e., kiln, alkali bypass, and
in-line coal mill, as applicable) and
calculate a flow-weighted average kiln
stack concentration that must be met in
order to be in compliance with the
CISWI waste-burning kiln emission
limits. These provisions are modeled
upon similar provisions and equations
found in the Portland Cement NESHAP,
and should streamline compliance
demonstrations for waste-burning kilns
that combine streams prior to discharge
to the atmosphere through one or more
stacks. The proposed calculation
method and measurement location
options are found in 40 CFR 60.2145
and 40 CFR 60.2710. The EPA requested
comment on the definitional and
calculation method changes for
demonstrating compliance for wasteburning kilns that combine streams
prior to discharge to the atmosphere
through one or more stacks.
Comment: Although there were no
specific comments on the revised
definition of ‘‘kiln’’ or on the addition
of the definitions of ‘‘in-line raw mill’’
and ‘‘in-line coal mill,’’ one commenter
expressed the need to change
monitoring and compliance
requirements for alkali bypass and/or
in-line coal mill to be consistent with
the Portland Cement NESHAP. The
commenter contended the use of CEMS
and the PM CPMS for either an alkali
bypass or an in-line coal mill is
unnecessary, as they represent a
relatively minor part of the overall kiln
emissions and their emissions will vary
directionally with the main kiln stack
concentrations. Therefore, the
commenter suggested that monitoring
the main kiln stack alone can provide an
indication of overall emissions and
compliance. The commenter stated that
the appropriate monitoring and
compliance requirements have already
been addressed in the Portland Cement
NESHAP rule and requested that the
EPA adopt a similar approach for the
CISWI standards. The commenter also
suggested that the EPA clarify the level
of testing and monitoring that applies to
either an alkali by-pass or an in-line
coal mill.
Response: To provide additional
consistency between CISWI and the
Portland Cement NESHAP, the EPA is
adding clarifying language in the final
rule that makes the monitoring
requirements for waste-burning kilns
consistent with those in the Portland
Cement NESHAP. Specifically, we are
not requiring that CEMS or PM CPMS
need to be installed on separate alkali
bypass or in-line coal mill stacks.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:31 Jun 22, 2016
Jkt 238001
Instead, as is the case with the Portland
Cement NESHAP, the results of the
initial and subsequent performance test
for the alkali bypass and in-line coal
mill stacks can be used to determine the
combined emissions to demonstrate
compliance with the relevant emissions
limit. However, unlike the Portland
Cement NESHAP, the performance test
must be conducted on an annual basis
(between 11 and 13 calendar months
following the previous performance test)
to keep the testing schedule for these
stacks consistent with the CISWI rule’s
annual performance testing
requirements.
V. Technical Corrections and
Clarifications
In the January 21, 2015, notice, the
EPA proposed to correct minor
typographical errors and clarify
provisions of the final rule that may
have been unclear. The EPA is finalizing
these corrections, which are
summarized in this section of the
preamble. There were some comments
received on these clarifications. These
comments, and responses to them, are
found in the ‘‘2013 CISWI Rule
Reconsideration Response to
Comments.’’
A. 2000 CISWI New Source
Applicability Clarification for
Incinerators and Air Curtain
Incinerators
Following promulgation of the
February 2013 CISWI final rule, the EPA
received questions regarding the
continued applicability of the 2000
CISWI NSPS for units that are subject to
the 2000 CISWI NSPS as they are
transitioned from the 2000 NSPS to the
February 2013 EG with which they will
eventually be required to comply. The
2000 CISWI NSPS are the same as the
2000 CISWI EG and limited in
applicability to the incinerator
subcategory and air curtain incinerators
so only these types of CISWI units being
regulated in the February 2013 CISWI
final rules are affected by this
applicability issue. The EPA intended,
consistent with the statute and our
stated intent (see 76 FR 15711, March
21, 2011), to continue to regulate these
units as ‘‘new’’ sources under the 2000
NSPS, and then regulate them as
‘‘existing’’ sources under the 2013 EG
once these units were covered under an
approved state plan or federal plan that
implements the February 2013 CISWI
final EG. The language in the February
7, 2013, NSPS at 40 CFR 60.2105 and
the title of Table 1 to 40 CFR part 60,
subpart CCCC make the EPA’s intent to
do so evident. However, the
applicability section in 40 CFR 60.2015
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
40967
omitted the applicability provisions for
incinerators and air curtain incinerators
that are subject to the 2000 CISWI
NSPS. In this final rule, the EPA is
finalizing proposed additional language
in 40 CFR 60.2015(a) and 40 CFR
60.2105(b) that clarifies that these
incinerators and air curtain incinerators
remain ‘‘new’’ units regulated under the
2000 NSPS until such time that an
approved state plan or federal plan
implements the February 2013 EG for
those units, at which time such units
will be subject to the 2013 EG to the
extent those limits are more stringent
than the 2000 CISWI NSPS limits,
which will continue to apply if they are
more stringent.
B. Typographical Errors and Corrections
The following items are typographical
errors in the final rule that we are
correcting in this final action:
• References in 40 CFR 60.2020(e),
60.2020(f), 60.2555(e), and 60.2555(f)
were changed from ‘‘. . . paragraphs
(e)(1) through (3) . . .’’ to ‘‘. . .
paragraphs (e)(1) through (4) . . .’’.
• Restructured 40 CFR 60.2060 to add
paragraph (b) that clarifies waste
management plan submittal timeline for
CISWI units that commence
reconstruction or modification after
August 7, 2013.
• References in 40 CFR 60.2020(i) and
60.2245 were revised to include 40 CFR
60.2242 in addition to 40 CFR 60.2245
through 60.2260 (i.e., clarifies that air
curtain incinerators burning wood
waste, clean lumber, and/or yard waste

C. Clarifications
Since publication of the February 7,
2013, final CISWI rule, the EPA has
received stakeholder questions and
requests for clarification on certain rule
provisions. We are not finalizing any
regulatory language changes for the
following items, but are providing some
clarification to these questions.
Furthermore, comments received on
these clarifications and responses to
these comments are found in the
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
‘‘Response to Comments on the 2015
CISWI Reconsideration’’ document
found in the docket:
• Mass balance as operating limits for
units without certain control devices—
A stakeholder has asked for clarification
on whether a mass balance could be
used as an operating parameter, and
whether this must be measured as a 30day rolling average instead of taking a
monthly sample. Furthermore, the
stakeholder also asked whether the
material balance allows them to waive
annual stack testing. The EPA clarifies
that mass balance operating parameters
do not replace annual stack testing.
Stack testing and operating parameters
work in tandem to ensure ongoing
compliance with the standards. We do,
however, accept that mass balance
could be an allowable operating
parameter in cases where no control
device is needed to meet the pollutant’s
specific emission limit applicable to the
unit, provided the petition for the
operating parameter limits meets the
requirements specified in 40 CFR
60.2115 and 40 CFR 60.2680. We also
point out that these requirements also
allow any source to request a different
averaging time that is appropriate for
the source and operating parameter.
• Clarification on who the ‘‘EPA
Administrator’’ is and whom to contact
for requests for averaging times,
qualifying facility notifications, etc. We
have received questions on how to
contact the Administrator to submit
notifications, reports and requests. The
contact information is given in the
General Provisions, under 40 CFR 60.4,
and has addresses listed by EPA
Regional Offices.
VI. Environmental, Energy and
Economic Impacts
This action finalizes the proposed
provisions and makes technical and
clarifying corrections, but does not
cause substantive changes to the
impacts on the environment, energy
generation and usage, and economic
factors for affected sources from the
February 7, 2013, final CISWI rule (78
FR 9112). The number of sources
requiring improved emission control
performance is the same as estimated in
the final 2013 rule. While the emission
limits have been relaxed slightly for PM
in the waste-burning kilns, the assumed
controls required to meet the final
standards are still the same as those
estimated for the final 2013 rule. That
is, waste-burning kilns that would
require additional controls to meet the
final 2013 rule’s PM and metals
emission limits will still require those
control improvements to meet the limits
being finalized in this action. The main

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 121 / Thursday, June 23, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
information collection activities
contained in the existing regulations (40
CFR part 60, subpart CCCC and 40 CFR
part 60, subpart DDDD) and has
assigned OMB control number 2060–
0664 for subpart CCCC and OMB control
number 2060–0662 for subpart DDDD.
This action is believed to result in no
changes to the information collection
requirements of the February 2013 final
CISWI rule, so that the information
collection estimate of project cost and
hour burden from the final CISWI rule
have not been revised.

Reviews

asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
difference is an increased margin of
compliance for these units, as well as a
PM limit that is very consistent with the
non-waste burning (Portland Cement
NESHAP) PM emission limits, thereby
streamlining compliance. For the coalfired ERU subcategory, certain emission
limits are relaxed while others have
been made more stringent. The net
result in emissions reductions are
negligible, however, and there are no
changes in the control cost estimates for
units in this subcategory. As with the
waste-burning kilns, the main difference
for the coal ERUs is that there is a
somewhat greater margin of compliance
available in the standards being
finalized, and thus, ensuring that the
best performing units may be able to
demonstrate sustained compliance with
the MACT standards in multiple modes
of operation (waste and non-waste
modes).
Taken together, the revised emission
limits being finalized in this action
could result in allowable emission
estimates, primarily in PM, that are
greater than those assumed for the 2013
final rule by about 297 tpy. In other
words, there could potentially be 297
fewer tpy of PM emission reductions as
a result of this final rule when
compared to the 2013 final rule’s
estimated emission reductions. We have
estimated these emission impacts in the
memorandum ‘‘Revised Emission Limits
and Impacts Analyses for Waste-burning
Kilns and Coal ERUs’’ available in the
docket. We have not revised the
regulatory impacts assessment prepared
for the 2013 final rule since the
expected emissions control costs are
unchanged and the change in estimated
emission reductions are relatively minor
when compared to the 34,771 tpy
overall emission reductions estimated
for the February 7, 2013, final rule (See
78 FR 9132).
This action does not contain an
unfunded mandate of $100 million or
more as described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C.
1531–1538, and does not significantly
affect small governments. The action
imposes no enforceable duty on any
state, local, or tribal governments or the
private sector.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
I certify that this action will not have
a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the RFA. In making this
determination, the impact of concern is
any significant adverse economic
impact on small entities. An agency may
certify that a rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities if
the rule relieves regulatory burden, has
no net burden, or otherwise has a
positive economic effect on the small
entities subject to the rule. This final
rule will not impose any new
requirements on any entities because it
does not impose any additional
regulatory requirements relative to those
specified in the February 2013 final
CISWI rule. The February 2013 final
CISWI rule was certified as not having
a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities. We
have therefore concluded that this
action will have no net regulatory
burden for all directly regulated small
entities.

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation
and Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments
This action does not have tribal
implications, as specified in Executive
Order 13175. The EPA is not aware of
any CISWI in Indian country or owned
or operated by Indian tribal
governments. The CISWI aspects of this
rule may, however, invoke minor
indirect tribal implications to the extent
that entities generating solid wastes on
tribal lands could be affected. Thus,
Executive Order 13175 does not apply
to this action.
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of
Children From Environmental Health
Risks and Safety Risks
The EPA interprets Executive Order
13045 as applying to those regulatory
actions that concern environmental
health or safety risks that the EPA has
reason to believe may
disproportionately affect children, per
the definition of ‘‘covered regulatory
action’’ in section 2–202 of the
Executive Order. This action is not
subject to Executive Order 13045
because it does not concern an
environmental health risk or safety risk.
H. Executive Order 13211: Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use
This action is not subject to Executive
Order 13211 because it is not a
significant regulatory action under
Executive Order 12866.
I. National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act (NTTAA) and 1 CFR
Part 51
This action does not involve technical
standards.
This action is not finalizing any new
incorporation by reference material, so
therefore this action is not making any
amendments to the incorporations by
reference found in 40 CFR 60.17. The
incorporation by reference of this
document was already approved by the
Director of the Federal Register in
accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1

The EPA believes the human health or
environmental risk addressed by this
action will not have potential
disproportionately high and adverse
human health or environmental effects
on minority, low-income, or indigenous
populations. It does not affect the level
of protection provided to human health

rule will reduce emissions of all the
listed toxics emitted from this source,
thereby helping to further ensure against
any disproportionately high and adverse
human health or environmental effects
on minority, low-income, or indigenous
populations.

This action is subject to the CRA, and
the EPA will submit a rule report to

§ 60.2000
What does this subpart do?
This subpart establishes new source
performance standards for commercial
and industrial solid waste incineration
(CISWI) units.
asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
§ 60.2005 When does this subpart become
effective?
This subpart takes effect on August 7,
2013. Some of the requirements in this
subpart apply to planning the CISWI
unit (i.e., the preconstruction
requirements in §§ 60.2045 and
60.2050). Other requirements such as
the emission limitations and operating
limits apply after the CISWI unit begins
operation.
Applicability
§ 60.2010 Does this subpart apply to my
incineration unit?
Yes, if your incineration unit meets
all the requirements specified in
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
paragraphs (a) through (c) of this
section:
(a) Your incineration unit is a new
incineration unit as defined in
§ 60.2015;
(b) Your incineration unit is a CISWI
unit as defined in § 60.2265; and
(c) Your incineration unit is not
exempt under § 60.2020.
What is a new incineration unit?
(a) A new incineration unit is an
incineration unit that meets any of the
criteria specified in paragraphs (a)(1)
through (3) of this section:
(1) A CISWI unit that commenced
construction after June 4, 2010;
(2) A CISWI unit that commenced
reconstruction or modification after
August 7, 2013; and
(3) Incinerators and air curtain
incinerators, as defined in this subpart,
that commenced construction after
November 30, 1999, but no later than
June 4, 2010, or that commenced
reconstruction or modification on or
after June 1, 2001, but no later than
August 7, 2013, are considered new
incineration units and remain subject to
the applicable requirements of this
subpart until the units become subject
to the requirements of an approved state
plan or federal plan that implements
subpart DDDD of this part (Emission
Guidelines and Compliance Times for
Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste
Incineration Units).
(b) This subpart does not affect your
CISWI unit if you make physical or
operational changes to your incineration
unit primarily to comply with subpart
DDDD of this part (Emission Guidelines
and Compliance Times for Commercial
and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration
Units). Such changes do not qualify as
reconstruction or modification under
this subpart.
§ 60.2020 What combustion units are

§ 60.2100 What if all the qualified
operators are temporarily not accessible?
If all qualified operators are
temporarily not accessible (i.e., not at
the facility and not able to be at the
facility within 1 hour), you must meet
one of the two criteria specified in
paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section,
depending on the length of time that a
qualified operator is not accessible:
(a) When all qualified operators are
not accessible for more than 8 hours, but
less than 2 weeks, the CISWI unit may
be operated by other plant personnel
familiar with the operation of the CISWI
unit who have completed a review of
the information specified in § 60.2095(a)
within the past 12 months. However,
you must record the period when all
qualified operators were not accessible
and include this deviation in the annual
report as specified under § 60.2210; and
(b) When all qualified operators are
not accessible for 2 weeks or more, you
must take the two actions that are
described in paragraphs (b)(1) and (2) of
this section:
(1) Notify the Administrator of this
deviation in writing within 10 days. In
the notice, state what caused this
deviation, what you are doing to ensure
that a qualified operator is accessible,
and when you anticipate that a qualified
operator will be accessible; and
(2) Submit a status report to the
Administrator every 4 weeks outlining
what you are doing to ensure that a
qualified operator is accessible, stating
when you anticipate that a qualified
operator will be accessible and
requesting approval from the
Administrator to continue operation of
the CISWI unit. You must submit the
first status report 4 weeks after you
notify the Administrator of the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

deviation under paragraph (b)(1) of this
section. If the Administrator notifies
you that your request to continue
operation of the CISWI unit is
disapproved, the CISWI unit may
continue operation for 90 days, then
must cease operation. Operation of the
unit may resume if you meet the two
requirements in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) and
(ii) of this section:
(i) A qualified operator is accessible
as required under § 60.2070(a); and
(ii) You notify the Administrator that
a qualified operator is accessible and
that you are resuming operation.
Emission Limitations and Operating
Limits
§ 60.2105 What emission limitations must I
meet and by when?
(a) You must meet the emission
limitations for each CISWI unit,
including bypass stack or vent, specified
in table 1 of this subpart or tables 5
through 8 of this subpart by the
applicable date in § 60.2140. You must
be in compliance with the emission
limitations of this subpart that apply to
you at all times.
(b) An incinerator or air curtain
incinerator that commenced
construction after November 30, 1999,
but no later than June 4, 2010, or that
commenced reconstruction or
modification on or after June 1, 2001 but
no later than August 7, 2013, must
continue to meet the emission limits in
table 1 of this subpart for units in the
incinerator subcategory and § 60.2250
for air curtain incinerators until the
units become subject to the
requirements of an approved state plan
or federal plan that implements subpart
DDDD of this part (Emission Guidelines
and Compliance Times for Commercial
and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration
Units).
§ 60.2110 What operating limits must I
meet and by when?
(a) If you use a wet scrubber(s) to
comply with the emission limitations,
you must establish operating limits for
up to four operating parameters (as
specified in table 2 of this subpart) as
described in paragraphs (a)(1) through
(4) of this section during the initial
performance test:
(1) Maximum charge rate, calculated
using one of the two different
procedures in paragraph (a)(1)(i) or (ii)
of this section, as appropriate:
(i) For continuous and intermittent
units, maximum charge rate is 110
percent of the average charge rate
measured during the most recent
performance test demonstrating
compliance with all applicable emission
limitations; and
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
(ii) For batch units, maximum charge
rate is 110 percent of the daily charge
rate measured during the most recent
performance test demonstrating
compliance with all applicable emission
limitations.
(2) Minimum pressure drop across the
wet particulate matter scrubber, which
is calculated as the lowest 1-hour
average pressure drop across the wet
scrubber measured during the most
recent performance test demonstrating
compliance with the particulate matter
emission limitations; or minimum
amperage to the wet scrubber, which is
calculated as the lowest 1-hour average
amperage to the wet scrubber measured
during the most recent performance test
demonstrating compliance with the
particulate matter emission limitations;
(3) Minimum scrubber liquid flow
rate, which is calculated as the lowest
1-hour average liquid flow rate at the
inlet to the wet acid gas or particulate
matter scrubber measured during the
most recent performance test
demonstrating compliance with all
applicable emission limitations; and
(4) Minimum scrubber liquor pH,
which is calculated as the lowest 1-hour
average liquor pH at the inlet to the wet
acid gas scrubber measured during the
most recent performance test
demonstrating compliance with the HCl
emission limitation.
(b) You must meet the operating
limits established during the initial
performance test 60 days after your
CISWI unit reaches the charge rate at
which it will operate, but no later than
180 days after its initial startup.
(c) If you use a fabric filter to comply
with the emission limitations and you
do not use a PM CPMS for monitoring
PM compliance, you must operate each
fabric filter system such that the bag
leak detection system alarm does not
sound more than 5 percent of the
operating time during a 6-month period.
In calculating this operating time
percentage, if inspection of the fabric
filter demonstrates that no corrective
action is required, no alarm time is
counted. If corrective action is required,
each alarm shall be counted as a
minimum of 1 hour. If you take longer
than 1 hour to initiate corrective action,
the alarm time shall be counted as the
actual amount of time taken by you to
initiate corrective action.
(d) If you use an electrostatic
precipitator to comply with the
emission limitations and you do not use
a PM CPMS for monitoring PM
compliance, you must measure the
(secondary) voltage and amperage of the
electrostatic precipitator collection
plates during the particulate matter
performance test. Calculate the average

injection rate by the load fraction, as
defined in this subpart, to determine the
required injection rate (e.g., for 50
percent load, multiply the injection rate
operating limit by 0.5).
(h) If you do not use a wet scrubber,
electrostatic precipitator, or fabric filter
to comply with the emission limitations,
and if you do not determine compliance
with your particulate matter emission
limitation with either a particulate
matter CEMS or a particulate matter
CPMS, you must maintain opacity to
less than or equal to 10 percent opacity
(1-hour block average).
(i) If you use a PM CPMS to
demonstrate compliance, you must
establish your PM CPMS operating limit
and determine compliance with it
according to paragraphs (i)(1) through
(5) of this section:
(1) Determine your operating limit as
the average PM CPMS output value
recorded during the performance test or
at a PM CPMS output value
corresponding to 75 percent of the
emission limit if your PM performance
test demonstrates compliance below 75
percent of the emission limit. You must
verify an existing or establish a new
operating limit after each repeated
performance test. You must repeat the
performance test annually and reassess
and adjust the site-specific operating
limit in accordance with the results of
the performance test:
(i) Your PM CPMS must provide a 4–
20 milliamp output, or digital
equivalent, and the establishment of its
relationship to manual reference
method measurements must be
determined in units of milliamps;
(ii) Your PM CPMS operating range
must be capable of reading PM
concentrations from zero to a level
equivalent to at least two times your
allowable emission limit. If your PM
CPMS is an auto-ranging instrument
capable of multiple scales, the primary
range of the instrument must be capable
of reading PM concentration from zero
to a level equivalent to two times your
allowable emission limit; and
(iii) During the initial performance
test or any such subsequent
performance test that demonstrates
compliance with the PM limit, record
and average all milliamp output values,
or their digital equivalent, from the PM
CPMS for the periods corresponding to
the compliance test runs (e.g., average
all your PM CPMS output values for
three corresponding 2-hour Method 5I
test runs).
(2) If the average of your three PM
performance test runs are below 75
percent of your PM emission limit, you
must calculate an operating limit by
establishing a relationship of PM CPMS
signal to PM concentration using the PM
CPMS instrument zero, the average PM
CPMS output values corresponding to
the three compliance test runs, and the
average PM concentration from the
Method 5 or performance test with the
procedures in (i)(1) through (5) of this
section:
(i) Determine your instrument zero
output with one of the following
procedures:
(A) Zero point data for in-situ
instruments should be obtained by
removing the instrument from the stack
and monitoring ambient air on a test
bench;
(B) Zero point data for extractive
instruments should be obtained by
removing the extractive probe from the
stack and drawing in clean ambient air;
(C) The zero point can also can be
established obtained by performing
manual reference method measurements
when the flue gas is free of PM
emissions or contains very low PM
concentrations (e.g., when your process
is not operating, but the fans are
operating or your source is combusting
only natural gas) and plotting these with
the compliance data to find the zero
intercept; and
(D) If none of the steps in paragraphs
(i)(2)(i)(A) through (C) of this section are
possible, you must use a zero output
value provided by the manufacturer.
(ii) Determine your PM CPMS
instrument average in milliamps, or the
digital equivalent, and the average of
your corresponding three PM
compliance test runs, using equation 1:
Where:
X1 = the PM CPMS output data points for the
three runs constituting the performance
test,
Y1 = the PM concentration value for the three
runs constituting the performance test,
and

sorbent flow rate during the
performance testing. The operating limit
for the carbon sorbent injection is
calculated as the lowest 1-hour average
sorbent flow rate measured during the
most recent performance test
demonstrating compliance with the

determine the required injection rate
(e.g., for 50 percent load, multiply the
injection rate operating limit by 0.5).
(f) If you use selective noncatalytic
reduction to comply with the emission
limitations, you must measure the
charge rate, the secondary chamber
temperature (if applicable to your CISWI
unit), and the reagent flow rate during
the nitrogen oxides performance testing.
The operating limits for the selective
noncatalytic reduction are calculated as
the highest 1-hour average charge rate,
lower secondary chamber temperature,
and lowest reagent flow rate measured
during the most recent performance test
demonstrating compliance with the
nitrogen oxides emission limitations.
(g) If you use a dry scrubber to comply
with the emission limitations, you must
measure the injection rate of each
sorbent during the performance testing.
The operating limit for the injection rate
of each sorbent is calculated as the
lowest 1-hour average injection rate or

Continuous Compliance Requirements
asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
§ 60.2145 How do I demonstrate
continuous compliance with the emission
limitations and the operating limits?
(a) Compliance with standards. (1)
The emission standards and operating
requirements set forth in this subpart
apply at all times;
(2) If you cease combusting solid
waste, you may opt to remain subject to
the provisions of this subpart.
Consistent with the definition of CISWI
unit, you are subject to the requirements
of this subpart at least 6 months
following the last date of solid waste
combustion. Solid waste combustion is
ceased when solid waste is not in the
combustion chamber (i.e., the solid
waste feed to the combustor has been
cut off for a period of time not less than
the solid waste residence time);
(3) If you cease combusting solid
waste, you must be in compliance with
any newly applicable standards on the
effective date of the waste-to-fuel
switch. The effective date of the wasteto-fuel switch is a date selected by you,
that must be at least 6 months from the
date that you ceased combusting solid
waste, consistent with § 60.2145(a)(2).
Your source must remain in compliance
with this subpart until the effective date
of the waste-to-fuel switch;
(4) If you own or operate an existing
commercial or industrial combustion
unit that combusted a fuel or non-waste
material, and you commence or
recommence combustion of solid waste,
you are subject to the provisions of this
subpart as of the first day you introduce
or reintroduce solid waste to the
combustion chamber, and this date
constitutes the effective date of the fuelto-waste switch. You must complete all
initial compliance demonstrations for
any section 112 standards that are
applicable to your facility before you
commence or recommence combustion
of solid waste. You must provide 30
days prior notice of the effective date of
the waste-to-fuel switch. The
notification must identify:
(i) The name of the owner or operator
of the CISWI unit, the location of the
source, the emissions unit(s) that will
cease burning solid waste, and the date
of the notice;
(ii) The currently applicable
subcategory under this subpart, and any
40 CFR part 63 subpart and subcategory
that will be applicable after you cease
combusting solid waste;
(iii) The fuel(s), non-waste material(s)
and solid waste(s) the CISWI unit is
currently combusting and has
combusted over the past 6 months, and
VerDate Sep<11>2014

the fuel(s) or non-waste materials the
unit will commence combusting;
(iv) The date on which you became
subject to the currently applicable
emission limits; and
(v) The date upon which you will
cease combusting solid waste, and the
date (if different) that you intend for any
new requirements to become applicable
(i.e., the effective date of the waste-tofuel switch), consistent with paragraphs
(a)(2) and (3) of this section.
(5) All air pollution control
equipment necessary for compliance
with any newly applicable emissions
limits which apply as a result of the
cessation or commencement or
recommencement of combusting solid
waste must be installed and operational
as of the effective date of the waste-tofuel, or fuel-to-waste switch.
(6) All monitoring systems necessary
for compliance with any newly
applicable monitoring requirements
which apply as a result of the cessation
or commencement or recommencement
of combusting solid waste must be
installed and operational as of the
effective date of the waste-to-fuel, or
fuel-to-waste switch. All calibration and
drift checks must be performed as of the
effective date of the waste-to-fuel, or
fuel-to-waste switch. Relative accuracy
tests must be performed as of the
performance test deadline for PM CEMS
(if PM CEMS are elected to demonstrate
continuous compliance with the
particulate matter emission limits).
Relative accuracy testing for other
CEMS need not be repeated if that
testing was previously performed
consistent with Clean Air Act section
112 monitoring requirements or
monitoring requirements under this
subpart.
(b) You must conduct an annual
performance test for the pollutants
listed in table 1 of this subpart or tables
5 through 8 of this subpart and opacity
for each CISWI unit as required under
§ 60.2125. The annual performance test
must be conducted using the test
methods listed in table 1 of this subpart
or tables 5 through 8 of this subpart and
the procedures in § 60.2125. Annual
performance tests are not required if you
use CEMS or continuous opacity
monitoring systems to determine
compliance.
(c) You must continuously monitor
the operating parameters specified in
§ 60.2110 or established under § 60.2115
and as specified in § 60.2170. Use 3hour block average values to determine
compliance (except for baghouse leak
detection system alarms) unless a
different averaging period is established
under § 60.2115 or, for energy recovery
units, where the averaging time for each

calculated each hour as the average of
the previous 720 operating hours.
Operation above the established
maximum, below the established
minimum, or outside the allowable
range of operating limits specified in
paragraph (a) of this section constitutes
a deviation from your operating limits
established under this subpart, except
during performance tests conducted to
determine compliance with the
emission and operating limits or to
establish new operating limits.
Operating limits are confirmed or
reestablished during performance tests.
(d) You must burn only the same
types of waste and fuels used to
establish subcategory applicability (for
energy recovery units) and operating
limits during the performance test.
(e) For energy recovery units,
incinerators, and small remote units,
you must perform an annual visual
emissions test for ash handling.
(f) For energy recovery units, you
must conduct an annual performance
test for opacity (except where

(g) You may elect to demonstrate
continuous compliance with the carbon
monoxide emission limit using a carbon
monoxide CEMS according to the
following requirements:
(1) You must measure emissions
according to § 60.13 to calculate 1-hour
arithmetic averages, corrected to 7
percent oxygen. CEMS data during
startup and shutdown, as defined in this
subpart, are not corrected to 7 percent
oxygen, and are measured at stack
oxygen content. You must demonstrate
initial compliance with the carbon
monoxide emissions limit using a 30day rolling average of these 1-hour
arithmetic average emission
concentrations, including CEMS data
during startup and shutdown as defined

(1) If you monitor compliance with
the HCl emissions limit by operating an
HCl CEMS, you must do so in
accordance with Performance
Specification 15 (PS 15) of appendix B
to 40 CFR part 60, or, PS 18 of appendix
B to 40 CFR part 60. You must operate,
maintain, and quality assure a HCl
CEMS installed and certified under PS
15 according to the quality assurance
requirements in Procedure 1 of
appendix F to 40 CFR part 60 except
that the Relative Accuracy Test Audit
requirements of Procedure 1 must be

operate, maintain and quality assure a
HCl CEMS installed and certified under
PS 18 according to the quality assurance
requirements in Procedure 6 of
appendix F to 40 CFR part 60. For any
performance specification that you use,
you must use Method 321 of appendix
A to 40 CFR part 63 as the reference test
method for conducting relative accuracy
testing. The span value and calibration
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:31 Jun 22, 2016
Jkt 238001
requirements in paragraphs (j)(1)(i) and
(ii) of this section apply to all HCl
CEMS used under this subpart:
(i) You must use a measurement span
value for any HCl CEMS of 0–10 ppmvw
unless the monitor is installed on a kiln
without an inline raw mill. Kilns
without an inline raw mill may use a
higher span value sufficient to quantify
all expected emissions concentrations.
The HCl CEMS data recorder output
range must include the full range of
expected HCl concentration values
which would include those expected
during ‘‘mill off’’ conditions. The
corresponding data recorder range shall
be documented in the site-specific
monitoring plan and associated records;
(ii) In order to quality assure data
measured above the span value, you
must use one of the three options in
paragraphs (j)(1)(ii)(A) through (C) of
this section:
(A) Include a second span that
encompasses the HCl emission
concentrations expected to be
encountered during ‘‘mill off’’
conditions. This second span may be
rounded to a multiple of 5 ppm of total
HCl. The requirements of the
appropriate HCl monitor performance
specification shall be followed for this
second span with the exception that a
RATA with the mill off is not required;
(B) Quality assure any data above the
span value by proving instrument
linearity beyond the span value
established in paragraph (j)(1)(i) of this
section using the following procedure.
Conduct a weekly ‘‘above span
linearity’’ calibration challenge of the
monitoring system using a reference gas
with a certified value greater than your
highest expected hourly concentration
or greater than 75% of the highest
measured hourly concentration. The
‘‘above span’’ reference gas must meet
the requirements of the applicable
performance specification and must be
introduced to the measurement system
at the probe. Record and report the
results of this procedure as you would
for a daily calibration. The ‘‘above span
linearity’’ challenge is successful if the
value measured by the HCl CEMS falls
within 10 percent of the certified value
of the reference gas. If the value
measured by the HCl CEMS during the
above span linearity challenge exceeds
10 percent of the certified value of the
reference gas, the monitoring system
must be evaluated and repaired and a
new ‘‘above span linearity’’ challenge
met before returning the HCl CEMS to
service, or data above span from the HCl
CEMS must be subject to the quality
assurance procedures established in
(j)(1)(ii)(D) of this section. In this
manner values measured by the HCl
PO 00000
Frm 00025
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700
40979
CEMS during the above span linearity
challenge exceeding +/¥20 percent of
the certified value of the reference gas
must be normalized using equation 6;
(C) Quality assure any data above the
span value established in paragraph
(j)(1)(i) of this section using the
following procedure. Any time two
consecutive one-hour average measured
concentration of HCl exceeds the span
value you must, within 24 hours before
or after, introduce a higher, ‘‘above
span’’ HCl reference gas standard to the
HCl CEMS. The ‘‘above span’’ reference
gas must meet the requirements of the
applicable performance specification
and target a concentration level between
50 and 150 percent of the highest
expected hourly concentration
measured during the period of
measurements above span, and must be
introduced at the probe. While this
target represents a desired concentration
range that is not always achievable in
practice, it is expected that the intent to
meet this range is demonstrated by the
value of the reference gas. Expected
values may include above span
calibrations done before or after the
above-span measurement period. Record
and report the results of this procedure
as you would for a daily calibration. The
‘‘above span’’ calibration is successful if
the value measured by the HCl CEMS is
within 20 percent of the certified value
of the reference gas. If the value
measured by the HCl CEMS is not
within 20 percent of the certified value
of the reference gas, then you must
normalize the stack gas values measured
above span as described in paragraph
(j)(1)(ii)(D) of this section. If the ‘‘above
span’’ calibration is conducted during
the period when measured emissions
are above span and there is a failure to
collect the one data point in an hour
due to the calibration duration, then you
must determine the emissions average
for that missed hour as the average of
hourly averages for the hour preceding
the missed hour and the hour following
the missed hour. In an hour where an
‘‘above span’’ calibration is being
conducted and one or more data points
are collected, the emissions average is
represented by the average of all valid
data points collected in that hour;
(D) In the event that the ‘‘above span’’
calibration is not successful (i.e., the
HCl CEMS measured value is not within
20 percent of the certified value of the
reference gas), then you must normalize
the one-hour average stack gas values
measured above the span during the 24hour period preceding or following the
‘‘above span’’ calibration for reporting
based on the HCl CEMS response to the
reference gas as shown in equation 6:
E:\FR\FM\23JNR2.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 121 / Thursday, June 23, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
Only one ‘‘above span’’ calibration is
needed per 24-hour period.

of the performance test must be a
calendar month. For each calendar
month in which the waste-burning kiln
operates, hourly mercury concentration
data, and stack gas volumetric flow rate
data must be obtained. You must
demonstrate compliance with the
mercury emissions limit using a 30-day
rolling average of these 1-hour mercury
concentrations, including CEMS data

part 60, appendix A–7 of this part. The
nitrogen oxides CEMS must be operated
according to performance specification
2 in appendix B of this part and must
follow the procedures and methods
specified in paragraphs (t)(1) through (4)
of this section:
(1) During each relative accuracy test
run of the CEMS required by

compliance with the nitrogen oxides
emission limit be determined using
carbon dioxide measurements corrected
to an equivalent of 7 percent oxygen. If
carbon dioxide is selected for use in
diluent corrections, the relationship
between oxygen and carbon dioxide
levels must be established during the
initial performance test according to the
procedures and methods specified in
paragraphs (t)(4)(i) through (iv) of this
section. This relationship may be reestablished during performance
compliance tests:
(i) The fuel factor equation in Method
3B must be used to determine the
relationship between oxygen and carbon
dioxide at a sampling location. Method
3A or 3B, or as an alternative ANSI/
ASME PTC 19.10–1981 (incorporated by
reference, see § 60.17), as applicable,
must be used to determine the oxygen
concentration at the same location as
the carbon dioxide monitor;

maintain your PM CPMS according to
the procedures in your approved sitespecific monitoring plan developed in
accordance with paragraphs (l) and
(x)(1)(i) through (iii) of this section:
(i) The operating principle of the PM
CPMS must be based on in-stack or

PM CPMS at all times the energy
recovery unit or waste-burning kiln is
operating and at the intervals specified
in paragraph (x)(1)(ii) of this section,
except for periods of monitoring system
malfunctions, repairs associated with
monitoring system malfunctions,
required monitoring system quality
assurance or quality control activities
(including, as applicable, calibration
checks and required zero and span
adjustments), and any scheduled
maintenance as defined in your sitespecific monitoring plan.
(6) You must use all the data collected
during all energy recovery unit or wasteburning kiln operating hours in
assessing the compliance with your
operating limit except:
(i) Any data collected during
monitoring system malfunctions, repairs
associated with monitoring system
malfunctions, or required monitoring
system quality assurance or quality
control activities conducted during
monitoring system malfunctions are not
used in calculations (report any such
periods in your annual deviation
report);
(ii) Any data collected during periods
when the monitoring system is out of
control as specified in your site-specific
monitoring plan, repairs associated with
periods when the monitoring system is
out of control, or required monitoring
system quality assurance or quality
control activities conducted during outof-control periods are not used in
calculations (report emissions or
operating levels and report any such
periods in your annual deviation
report);
(iii) Any PM CPMS data recorded
during periods of CEMS data during
startup and shutdown, as defined in this
subpart.
(7) You must record and make
available upon request results of PM

(ii) If inspection of the air pollution
control device identifies the cause of the
deviation, take corrective action as soon
as possible and return the PM CPMS
measurement to within the established
value;
(iii) Within 30 days of the deviation
or at the time of the annual compliance
test, whichever comes first, conduct a
PM emissions compliance test to
determine compliance with the PM
emissions limit and to verify. Within 45
days of the deviation, you must reestablish the CPMS operating limit. You
are not required to conduct additional
testing for any deviations that occur
between the time of the original
deviation and the PM emissions
compliance test required under
paragraph (x) of this section; and

upstream or downstream of the in-line
coal mill; and
(3) For purposes of determining the
combined emissions from kilns
equipped with an alkali bypass or that
exhaust kiln gases to a coal mill that
exhausts through a separate stack,
instead of installing a CEMS or PM
CPMS on the alkali bypass stack or inline coal mill stack, the results of the
initial and subsequent performance test
can be used to demonstrate compliance
with the relevant emissions limit. A
performance test must be conducted on
an annual basis (between 11 and 13
calendar months following the previous
performance test).

bag leak detector must be installed
downstream of the fabric filter; and
(8) Where multiple detectors are
required, the system’s instrumentation
and alarm may be shared among
detectors.
(c) If you are using something other
than a wet scrubber, activated carbon,
selective non-catalytic reduction, an
electrostatic precipitator, or a dry
scrubber to comply with the emission
limitations under § 60.2105, you must
install, calibrate (to the manufacturers’
specifications), maintain, and operate

reagent flow rate measured as 3-hour
block averages at all times; and
(2) Operation of the affected facility
above the maximum charge rate, below
the minimum secondary chamber
temperature and below the minimum
reagent flow rate simultaneously
constitute a violation of the nitrogen
oxides emissions limit.
(f) If you use an electrostatic
precipitator to comply with the
emission limits of this subpart and you
do not use a PM CPMS for monitoring
PM compliance, you must monitor the
secondary power to the electrostatic
precipitator collection plates and

operator must install, calibrate,
maintain, and operate a CEMS for
monitoring hydrogen chloride
emissions, as specified in § 60.2145(j) of
this subpart, discharged to the
atmosphere and record the output of the
system. To demonstrate continuous
compliance with the hydrogen chloride
emissions limit for units other than
waste-burning kilns not equipped with
a wet scrubber or dry scrubber, a facility
may substitute use of a hydrogen
chloride CEMS for conducting the
hydrogen chloride annual performance
test, monitoring the minimum hydrogen

or a particulate matter CPMS for
conducting the PM annual performance
test and using other CMS for monitoring
PM compliance (e.g., bag leak detectors,
ESP secondary power, PM scrubber
pressure).
(i) To demonstrate continuous
compliance with the dioxin/furan
emissions limit, a facility may substitute
use of a continuous automated sampling
system for the dioxin/furan annual
performance test. You must record the

monitoring for the minimum sorbent
flow rate, if activated carbon sorbent
injection is used solely for compliance
with the dioxin/furan emission limit.
(j) To demonstrate continuous
compliance with the mercury emissions
limit, a facility may substitute use of a
continuous automated sampling system
for the mercury annual performance
test. You must record the output of the
system and analyze the sample at set
intervals using any suitable
determinative technique that can meet
performance specification 12B. The
owner or operator who elects to

instead of sampling and testing using
EPA Reference Method 29 or 30B at 40
CFR part 60, appendix A–8, ASTM
D6784–02 (Reapproved 2008)
(incorporated by reference, see § 60.17),
or an approved alternative method for
measuring mercury emissions, must
install, calibrate, maintain, and operate
a continuous automated sampling
system and must comply with
performance specification 12A and
quality assurance procedure 5, as well
as the requirements specified in
§ 60.58b(p) and (q). A facility may
substitute continuous mercury
monitoring for the minimum sorbent
flow rate, if activated carbon sorbent
injection is used solely for compliance
with the mercury emission limit. Wasteburning kilns must install, calibrate,
maintain, and operate a mercury CEMS
as specified in § 60.2145(j).
(k) To demonstrate continuous
compliance with the nitrogen oxides
emissions limit, a facility may substitute
use of a CEMS for the nitrogen oxides
annual performance test to demonstrate
compliance with the nitrogen oxides
emissions limits and monitoring the
charge rate, secondary chamber
temperature, and reagent flow for
selective noncatalytic reduction, if
applicable:

be followed for installation, evaluation,
and operation of the CEMS; and
(2) Following the date that the initial
performance test for nitrogen oxides is
completed or is required to be
completed under § 60.2125, compliance
with the emission limit for nitrogen
oxides required under § 60.52b(d) must
be determined based on the 30-day
rolling average of the hourly emission
concentrations using CEMS outlet data.
The 1-hour arithmetic averages must be
expressed in parts per million by
volume corrected to 7 percent oxygen
(dry basis) and used to calculate the 30day rolling average concentrations.
CEMS data during startup and
shutdown, as defined in this subpart,
are not corrected to 7 percent oxygen,
and are measured at stack oxygen
content. The 1-hour arithmetic averages
must be calculated using the data points
required under § 60.13(e)(2).
(l) To demonstrate continuous
compliance with the sulfur dioxide
emissions limit, a facility may substitute
use of a continuous automated sampling
system for the sulfur dioxide annual
performance test to demonstrate
compliance with the sulfur dioxide
emissions limits:
(1) Install, calibrate, maintain, and
operate a CEMS for measuring sulfur
dioxide emissions discharged to the
atmosphere and record the output of the
system. The requirements under
performance specification 2 of appendix
B of this part, the quality assurance
requirements of procedure one of
appendix F of this part and procedures
under § 60.13 must be followed for
installation, evaluation, and operation
of the CEMS; and
(2) Following the date that the initial
performance test for sulfur dioxide is
completed or is required to be
completed under § 60.2125, compliance
with the sulfur dioxide emission limit
may be determined based on the 30-day
rolling average of the hourly arithmetic
average emission concentrations using
CEMS outlet data. The 1-hour arithmetic
averages must be expressed in parts per
million corrected to 7 percent oxygen
(dry basis) and used to calculate the 30day rolling average emission
concentrations. CEMS data during
startup and shutdown, as defined in this
subpart, are not corrected to 7 percent
oxygen, and are measured at stack
oxygen content. The 1-hour arithmetic
averages must be calculated using the
data points required under § 60.13(e)(2).

(5) Determine and record all the 6minute averages (and 1-hour block
averages as applicable) collected.
(n) For coal and liquid/gas energy
recovery units, incinerators, and small
remote incinerators, an owner or
operator may elect to install, calibrate,
maintain, and operate a CEMS for
monitoring particulate matter emissions
discharged to the atmosphere and
record the output of the system. The
owner or operator of an affected facility
who continuously monitors particulate
matter emissions instead of conducting
performance testing using EPA Method

to an equivalent of 7 percent oxygen.
The relationship between oxygen and
carbon dioxide levels for the affected
facility must be established according to
the procedures and methods specified
in § 60.2145(t)(4)(i) through (iv);
(6) The owner or operator of an
affected facility must conduct an initial
performance test for particulate matter
emissions as required under § 60.2125.
Compliance with the particulate matter
emission limit, if PM CEMS are elected
for demonstrating compliance, must be
determined by using the CEMS
specified in paragraph (n) of this section
to measure particulate matter. You must
calculate a 30-day rolling average of 1hour arithmetic average emission
concentrations, including CEMS data
during startup and shutdown, as
defined in this subpart, using equation
19–19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA
Reference Method 19 at 40 CFR part 60,
appendix A–7;
(7) Compliance with the particulate

installation, evaluation, and operation
of the CEMS; and
(2) Following the date that the initial
performance test for carbon monoxide is
completed or is required to be
completed under § 60.2140, compliance
with the carbon monoxide emission
limit may be determined based on the
30-day rolling average of the hourly
arithmetic average emission
concentrations, including CEMS data
during startup and shutdown as defined
in this subpart, using CEMS outlet data.
Except for CEMS data during startup
and shutdown, as defined in this
subpart, the 1-hour arithmetic averages

waste-burning kilns, you must install,
calibrate, maintain, and operate a PM
CPMS and record the output of the
system as specified in paragraphs (r)(1)
through (8) of this section. If you elect
to use a particulate matter CEMS as
specified in paragraph (n) of this
section, you are not required to use a
PM CPMS to monitor particulate matter
emissions. For other energy recovery
units, you may elect to use PM CPMS
operated in accordance with this

time (i.e., period required to complete
sampling, measurement, and reporting
for each measurement) no longer than
60 minutes; and
(iii) The PM CPMS must be capable of
detecting and responding to particulate
matter concentration increments no
greater than 0.5 mg/actual cubic meter.
(2) During the initial performance test
or any such subsequent performance
test that demonstrates compliance with
the PM limit, you must adjust the sitespecific operating limit in accordance
with the results of the performance test
according to the procedures specified in
§ 60.2110.

required monitoring system quality
assurance or quality control activities
(including, as applicable, calibration
checks and required zero and span
adjustments), and any scheduled
maintenance as defined in your sitespecific monitoring plan.
(6) You must use all the data collected
during all energy recovery unit or wasteburning kiln operating hours in
assessing the compliance with your
operating limit except:
(i) Any data collected during
monitoring system malfunctions, repairs
associated with monitoring system
malfunctions, or required monitoring
system quality assurance or quality
control activities conducted during
monitoring system malfunctions are not
used in calculations (report any such
periods in your annual deviation
report);
(ii) Any data collected during periods
when the monitoring system is out of
control as specified in your site-specific
monitoring plan, repairs associated with
periods when the monitoring system is
out of control, or required monitoring
system quality assurance or quality
control activities conducted during out-

of-control periods are not used in
calculations (report emissions or
operating levels and report any such
periods in your annual deviation
report); and
(iii) Any PM CPMS data recorded
during periods of CEMS data during
startup and shutdown, as defined in this
subpart.
(7) You must record and make
available upon request results of PM
CPMS system performance audits, as
well as the dates and duration of
periods from when the PM CPMS is out
of control until completion of the
corrective actions necessary to return
the PM CPMS to operation consistent
with your site-specific monitoring plan.
(8) For any deviation of the 30-day
rolling average PM CPMS average value
from the established operating
parameter limit, you must:
(i) Within 48 hours of the deviation,
visually inspect the air pollution control
device;
(ii) If inspection of the air pollution
control device identifies the cause of the
deviation, take corrective action as soon
as possible and return the PM CPMS
measurement to within the established
value;
(iii) Within 30 days of the deviation
or at the time of the annual compliance
test, whichever comes first, conduct a
PM emissions compliance test to
determine compliance with the PM
emissions limit and to verify the
operation of the emissions control
device(s). Within 45 days of the
deviation, you must re-establish the
CPMS operating limit. You are not
required to conduct additional testing
for any deviations that occur between
the time of the original deviation and
the PM emissions compliance test
required under this paragraph; and
(iv) PM CPMS deviations leading to
more than four required performance
tests in a 12-month process operating
period (rolling monthly) constitute a
violation of this subpart.
(s) If you use a dry scrubber to comply
with the emission limits of this subpart,
you must monitor the injection rate of
each sorbent and maintain the 3-hour
block averages at or above the operating
limits established during the hydrogen
chloride performance test.
§ 60.2170 Is there a minimum amount of
monitoring data I must obtain?
For each continuous monitoring
system required or optionally allowed
under § 60.2165, you must collect data
according to this section:
(a) You must operate the monitoring
system and collect data at all required
intervals at all times compliance is
required except for periods of
VerDate Sep<11>2014

monitoring system malfunctions or outof-control periods, repairs associated
with monitoring system malfunctions or
out-of-control periods (as specified in
60.2210(o)), and required monitoring
system quality assurance or quality
control activities (including, as
applicable, calibration checks and
required zero and span adjustments). A
monitoring system malfunction is any
sudden, infrequent, not reasonably
preventable failure of the monitoring
system to provide valid data.
Monitoring system failures that are
caused in part by poor maintenance or
careless operation are not malfunctions.
You are required to effect monitoring
system repairs in response to
monitoring system malfunctions or outof-control periods and to return the
monitoring system to operation as
expeditiously as practicable;
(b) You may not use data recorded
during monitoring system malfunctions
or out-of-control periods, repairs
associated with monitoring system
malfunctions or out-of-control periods,
or required monitoring system quality
assurance or control activities in
calculations used to report emissions or
operating levels. You must use all the
data collected during all other periods,
including data normalized for above
scale readings, in assessing the
operation of the control device and
associated control system; and
(c) Except for periods of monitoring
system malfunctions or out-of-control
periods, repairs associated with
monitoring system malfunctions or outof-control periods, and required
monitoring system quality assurance or
quality control activities including, as
applicable, calibration checks and
required zero and span adjustments,
failure to collect required data is a
deviation of the monitoring
requirements.

§ 60.2500
subpart?
What is the purpose of this
This subpart establishes emission
guidelines and compliance schedules
for the control of emissions from
commercial and industrial solid waste
incineration (CISWI) units. The
pollutants addressed by these emission
guidelines are listed in table 2 of this
subpart and tables 6 through 9 of this
subpart. These emission guidelines are
developed in accordance with sections
111(d) and 129 of the Clean Air Act and
subpart B of this part.
§ 60.2505
Am I affected by this subpart?
(a) If you are the Administrator of an
air quality program in a state or United
States protectorate with one or more
existing CISWI units that meet the
criteria in paragraphs (b) through (d) of
this section, you must submit a state
plan to U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) that implements the
emission guidelines contained in this
subpart.
(b) You must submit a state plan to
EPA by December 3, 2001 for
incinerator units that commenced
construction on or before November 30,
1999 and that were not modified or
reconstructed after June 1, 2001.
(c) You must submit a state plan that
meets the requirements of this subpart
and contains the more stringent
emission limit for the respective
pollutant in table 6 of this subpart or
table 1 of subpart CCCC of this part to
EPA by February 7, 2014 for
incinerators that commenced
construction after November 30, 1999,
but no later than June 4, 2010, or
commenced modification or
reconstruction after June 1, 2001 but no
later than August 7, 2013.
(d) You must submit a state plan to
EPA that meets the requirements of this
subpart and contains the emission limits
in tables 7 through 9 of this subpart by
February 7, 2014, for CISWI units other
than incinerator units that commenced
construction on or before June 4, 2010,
or commenced modification or
reconstruction after June 4, 2010 but no
later than August 7, 2013.
§ 60.2510
states?
Is a state plan required for all
No. You are not required to submit a
state plan if there are no existing CISWI
units in your state, and you submit a
negative declaration letter in place of
the state plan.

§ 60.2515
plan?
What must I include in my state
(a) You must include the nine items
described in paragraphs (a)(1) through
(9) of this section in your state plan:
(1) Inventory of affected CISWI units,
including those that have ceased
operation but have not been dismantled;
(2) Inventory of emissions from
affected CISWI units in your state;
(3) Compliance schedules for each
affected CISWI unit;
(4) Emission limitations, operator
training and qualification requirements,
a waste management plan, and
operating limits for affected CISWI units
that are at least as protective as the
emission guidelines contained in this
subpart;
(5) Performance testing,
recordkeeping, and reporting
requirements;
(6) Certification that the hearing on
the state plan was held, a list of
witnesses and their organizational
affiliations, if any, appearing at the
hearing, and a brief written summary of
each presentation or written
submission;
(7) Provision for state progress reports
to EPA;
(8) Identification of enforceable state
mechanisms that you selected for
implementing the emission guidelines
of this subpart; and
(9) Demonstration of your state’s legal
authority to carry out the sections
111(d) and 129 state plan.
(b) Your state plan may deviate from
the format and content of the emission
guidelines contained in this subpart.
However, if your state plan does deviate
in content, you must demonstrate that
your state plan is at least as protective
as the emission guidelines contained in
this subpart. Your state plan must
address regulatory applicability,
increments of progress for retrofit,
operator training and qualification, a
waste management plan, emission
limitations, performance testing,
operating limits, monitoring,
recordkeeping and reporting, and air
curtain incinerator requirements.
(c) You must follow the requirements
of subpart B of this part (Adoption and
Submittal of State Plans for Designated
Facilities) in your state plan.
§ 60.2520 Is there an approval process for
my state plan?
Yes. The EPA will review your state
plan according to § 60.27.
§ 60.2525 What if my state plan is not
approvable?
(a) If you do not submit an approvable
state plan (or a negative declaration
letter) by December 2, 2002, EPA will
E:\FR\FM\23JNR2.SGM
23JNR2
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 121 / Thursday, June 23, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
develop a federal plan according to
§ 60.27 to implement the emission
guidelines contained in this subpart.
Owners and operators of CISWI units
not covered by an approved state plan
must comply with the federal plan. The
federal plan is an interim action and
will be automatically withdrawn when
your state plan is approved.
(b) If you do not submit an approvable
state plan (or a negative declaration
letter) to EPA that meets the
requirements of this subpart and
contains the emission limits in tables 6
through 9 of this subpart for CISWI
units that commenced construction on
or before June 4, 2010 and incinerator or
air curtain incinerator units that
commenced reconstruction or
modification on or after June 1, 2001 but
no later than August 7, 2013, then EPA
will develop a federal plan according to
§ 60.27 to implement the emission
guidelines contained in this subpart.
Owners and operators of CISWI units
not covered by an approved state plan
must comply with the federal plan. The
federal plan is an interim action and
will be automatically withdrawn when
your state plan is approved.
§ 60.2530 Is there an approval process for
a negative declaration letter?
No. The EPA has no formal review
process for negative declaration letters.
Once your negative declaration letter
has been received, EPA will place a
copy in the public docket and publish
a notice in the Federal Register. If, at a
later date, an existing CISWI unit is
found in your state, the federal plan
implementing the emission guidelines
contained in this subpart would
automatically apply to that CISWI unit
until your state plan is approved.

§ 60.2535 What compliance schedule must
I include in my state plan?
(a) For CISWI units in the incinerator
subcategory and air curtain incinerators
that commenced construction on or
before November 30, 1999, your state
plan must include compliance
schedules that require CISWI units in
the incinerator subcategory and air
curtain incinerators to achieve final
compliance as expeditiously as
practicable after approval of the state
plan but not later than the earlier of the
two dates specified in paragraphs (a)(1)
and (2) of this section:
(1) December 1, 2005; and
(2) Three years after the effective date
of state plan approval.
(b) For CISWI units in the incinerator
subcategory and air curtain incinerators
that commenced construction after
November 30, 1999, but on or before
June 4, 2010 or that commenced

reconstruction or modification on or
after June 1, 2001 but no later than
August 7, 2013, and for CISWI units in
the small remote incinerator, energy
recovery unit, and waste-burning kiln
subcategories that commenced
construction before June 4, 2010, your
state plan must include compliance
schedules that require CISWI units to
achieve final compliance as
expeditiously as practicable after
approval of the state plan but not later
than the earlier of the two dates
specified in paragraphs (b)(1) and (2) of
this section:
(1) February 7, 2018; and
(2) Three years after the effective date
of State plan approval.
(c) For compliance schedules more
than 1 year following the effective date
of State plan approval, State plans must
include dates for enforceable increments
of progress as specified in § 60.2580.
§ 60.2540 Are there any State plan
requirements for this subpart that apply
instead of the requirements specified in
subpart B?
Yes. Subpart B establishes general
requirements for developing and
processing section 111(d) plans. This
subpart applies instead of the
requirements in subpart B of this part
for paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section:
(a) State plans developed to
implement this subpart must be as
protective as the emission guidelines
contained in this subpart. State plans
must require all CISWI units to comply
by the dates specified in § 60.2535. This
applies instead of the option for case-bycase less stringent emission standards
and longer compliance schedules in
§ 60.24(f); and
(b) State plans developed to
implement this subpart are required to
include two increments of progress for
the affected CISWI units. These two
minimum increments are the final
control plan submittal date and final
compliance date in § 60.21(h)(1) and (5).
This applies instead of the requirement
of § 60.24(e)(1) that would require a
State plan to include all five increments
of progress for all CISWI units.
§ 60.2541 In lieu of a state plan submittal,
are there other acceptable option(s) for a
state to meet its Clean Air Act section
111(d)/129(b)(2) obligations?
Yes, a state may meet its Clean Air
Act section 111(d)/129 obligations by
submitting an acceptable written request
for delegation of the federal plan that
meets the requirements of this section.
This is the only other option for a state
to meet its Clean Air Act section 111(d)/
129 obligations.

(a) An acceptable federal plan
delegation request must include the
following:
(1) A demonstration of adequate
resources and legal authority to
administer and enforce the federal plan;
(2) The items under § 60.2515(a)(1),
(2) and (7);
(3) Certification that the hearing on
the state delegation request, similar to
the hearing for a state plan submittal,
was held, a list of witnesses and their
organizational affiliations, if any,
appearing at the hearing, and a brief
written summary of each presentation or
written submission; and
(4) A commitment to enter into a
Memorandum of Agreement with the
Regional Administrator who sets forth
the terms, conditions, and effective date
of the delegation and that serves as the
mechanism for the transfer of authority.
Additional guidance and information is
given in EPA’s Delegation Manual, Item
7–139, Implementation and
Enforcement of 111(d)(2) and 111(d)/(2)/
129(b)(3) federal plans.
(b) A state with an already approved
CISWI Clean Air Act section 111(d)/129
state plan is not precluded from
receiving EPA approval of a delegation
request for the revised federal plan,
providing the requirements of paragraph
(a) of this section are met, and at the
time of the delegation request, the state
also requests withdrawal of EPA’s
previous state plan approval.
(c) A state’s Clean Air Act section
111(d)/129 obligations are separate from
its obligations under Title V of the Clean
Air Act.
§ 60.2542 What authorities will not be
delegated to state, local, or tribal agencies?
The authorities listed under
§ 60.2030(c) will not be delegated to
state, local, or tribal agencies.
§ 60.2545 Does this subpart directly affect
CISWI unit owners and operators in my
state?
(a) No. This subpart does not directly
affect CISWI unit owners and operators
in your state. However, CISWI unit
owners and operators must comply with
the state plan you develop to implement
the emission guidelines contained in
this subpart. States may choose to
incorporate the model rule text directly
in their state plan.
(b) If you do not submit an approvable
plan to implement and enforce the
guidelines contained in this subpart for
CISWI units that commenced
construction before November 30, 1999
by December 2, 2002, EPA will
implement and enforce a federal plan,
as provided in § 60.2525, to ensure that
each unit within your state reaches

(c) If you do not submit an approvable
plan to implement and enforce the
guidelines contained in this subpart by
February 7, 2014, for CISWI units that
commenced construction on or before
June 4, 2010, EPA will implement and
enforce a federal plan, as provided in
§ 60.2525, to ensure that each unit
within your state that commenced
construction on or before June 4, 2010,
reaches compliance with all the
provisions of this subpart by February 7,
2018.
Applicability of State Plans
§ 60.2550 What CISWI units must I address
in my state plan?
(a) Your state plan must address
incineration units that meet all three
criteria described in paragraphs (a)(1)
through (3) of this section:
(1) CISWI units and air curtain
incinerators in your state that
commenced construction on or before
June 4, 2010, or commenced
modification or reconstruction after
June 4, 2010 but no later than August 7,
2013;
(2) Incineration units that meet the
definition of a CISWI unit as defined in
§ 60.2875; and
(3) Incineration units not exempt
under § 60.2555.
(b) If the owner or operator of a CISWI
unit or air curtain incinerator makes
changes that meet the definition of
modification or reconstruction after
August 7, 2013, the CISWI unit becomes
subject to subpart CCCC of this part and
the state plan no longer applies to that
unit.
(c) If the owner or operator of a CISWI
unit makes physical or operational
changes to an existing CISWI unit
primarily to comply with your state
plan, subpart CCCC of this part does not
apply to that unit. Such changes do not
qualify as modifications or
reconstructions under subpart CCCC of
this part.

E:\FR\FM\23JNR2.SGM
23JNR2
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 121 / Thursday, June 23, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
(a) When all qualified operators are
not accessible for more than 8 hours, but
less than 2 weeks, the CISWI unit may
be operated by other plant personnel
familiar with the operation of the CISWI
unit who have completed a review of
the information specified in § 60.2660(a)
within the past 12 months. However,
you must record the period when all

must take the two actions that are
described in paragraphs (b)(1) and (2) of
this section:
(1) Notify the Administrator of this
deviation in writing within 10 days. In
the notice, state what caused this
deviation, what you are doing to ensure
that a qualified operator is accessible,
and when you anticipate that a qualified
operator will be accessible; and
(2) Submit a status report to the
Administrator every 4 weeks outlining
what you are doing to ensure that a
qualified operator is accessible, stating
when you anticipate that a qualified
operator will be accessible and
requesting approval from the
Administrator to continue operation of
the CISWI unit. You must submit the

Model Rule—Emission Limitations and
Operating Limits
asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
§ 60.2670 What emission limitations must I
meet and by when?
(a) You must meet the emission
limitations for each CISWI unit,
including bypass stack or vent, specified
in table 2 of this subpart or tables 6
through 9 of this subpart by the final
compliance date under the approved
state plan, federal plan, or delegation, as
applicable. The emission limitations
apply at all times the unit is operating
including and not limited to startup,
shutdown, or malfunction.
(b) Units that do not use wet
scrubbers must maintain opacity to less
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:31 Jun 22, 2016
Jkt 238001
than or equal to the percent opacity
(three 1-hour blocks consisting of ten 6minute average opacity values) specified
in table 2 of this subpart, as applicable.
§ 60.2675 What operating limits must I
meet and by when?
(a) If you use a wet scrubber(s) to
comply with the emission limitations,
you must establish operating limits for
up to four operating parameters (as
specified in table 3 of this subpart) as
described in paragraphs (a)(1) through
(4) of this section during the initial
performance test:
(1) Maximum charge rate, calculated
using one of the two different
procedures in paragraph (a)(1)(i) or (ii)
of this section, as appropriate:
(i) For continuous and intermittent
units, maximum charge rate is 110
percent of the average charge rate
measured during the most recent
performance test demonstrating
compliance with all applicable emission
limitations; and
(ii) For batch units, maximum charge
rate is 110 percent of the daily charge
rate measured during the most recent
performance test demonstrating
compliance with all applicable emission
limitations.
(2) Minimum pressure drop across the
wet particulate matter scrubber, which
is calculated as the lowest 1-hour
average pressure drop across the wet
scrubber measured during the most
recent performance test demonstrating
compliance with the particulate matter
emission limitations; or minimum
amperage to the wet scrubber, which is
calculated as the lowest 1-hour average
amperage to the wet scrubber measured
during the most recent performance test
demonstrating compliance with the
particulate matter emission limitations.
(3) Minimum scrubber liquid flow
rate, which is calculated as the lowest
1-hour average liquid flow rate at the
inlet to the wet acid gas or particulate
matter scrubber measured during the
most recent performance test
demonstrating compliance with all
applicable emission limitations.
(4) Minimum scrubber liquor pH,
which is calculated as the lowest 1-hour
average liquor pH at the inlet to the wet
acid gas scrubber measured during the
most recent performance test
demonstrating compliance with the HCl
emission limitation.
(b) You must meet the operating
limits established during the initial
performance test on the date the initial
performance test is required or
completed (whichever is earlier). You
must conduct an initial performance
evaluation of each continuous
monitoring system and continuous
PO 00000
Frm 00053
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4700

parameter monitoring system within 60
days of installation of the monitoring
system.
(c) If you use a fabric filter to comply
with the emission limitations and you
do not use a PM CPMS for monitoring
PM compliance, you must operate each
fabric filter system such that the bag
leak detection system alarm does not
sound more than 5 percent of the
operating time during a 6-month period.
In calculating this operating time
percentage, if inspection of the fabric
filter demonstrates that no corrective
action is required, no alarm time is
counted. If corrective action is required,
each alarm shall be counted as a
minimum of 1 hour. If you take longer
than 1 hour to initiate corrective action,
the alarm time shall be counted as the
actual amount of time taken by you to
initiate corrective action.
(d) If you use an electrostatic
precipitator to comply with the
emission limitations and you do not use
a PM CPMS for monitoring PM
compliance, you must measure the
(secondary) voltage and amperage of the
electrostatic precipitator collection
plates during the particulate matter
performance test. Calculate the average
electric power value (secondary voltage
× secondary current = secondary electric
power) for each test run. The operating
limit for the electrostatic precipitator is
calculated as the lowest 1-hour average
secondary electric power measured
during the most recent performance test
demonstrating compliance with the
particulate matter emission limitations.
(e) If you use activated carbon sorbent
injection to comply with the emission
limitations, you must measure the
sorbent flow rate during the
performance testing. The operating limit
for the carbon sorbent injection is
calculated as the lowest 1-hour average
sorbent flow rate measured during the
most recent performance test
demonstrating compliance with the
mercury emission limitations. For
energy recovery units, when your unit
operates at lower loads, multiply your
sorbent injection rate by the load
fraction, as defined in this subpart, to
determine the required injection rate
(e.g., for 50 percent load, multiply the
injection rate operating limit by 0.5).
(f) If you use selective noncatalytic
reduction to comply with the emission
limitations, you must measure the
charge rate, the secondary chamber
temperature (if applicable to your CISWI
unit), and the reagent flow rate during
the nitrogen oxides performance testing.
The operating limits for the selective
noncatalytic reduction are calculated as
the highest 1-hour average charge rate,
lowest secondary chamber temperature,

CPMS output values for three 1-hour
test runs):
(i) Your PM CPMS must provide a 4–
20 milliamp output, or the digital signal
equivalent, and the establishment of its
relationship to manual reference
method measurements must be
determined in units of milliamps or
digital bits;
(ii) Your PM CPMS operating range
must be capable of reading PM
concentrations from zero to a level
equivalent to at least two times your
allowable emission limit. If your PM
CPMS is an auto-ranging instrument
capable of multiple scales, the primary
range of the instrument must be capable
of reading PM concentration from zero
to a level equivalent to two times your
allowable emission limit; and
(iii) During the initial performance
test or any such subsequent
performance test that demonstrates
compliance with the PM limit, record
and average all milliamp output values,
or their digital equivalent, from the PM
CPMS for the periods corresponding to
the compliance test runs (e.g., average
all your PM CPMS output values for
three corresponding 2-hour Method 5I
test runs).
(2) If the average of your three PM
performance test runs are below 75
percent of your PM emission limit, you
must calculate an operating limit by
establishing a relationship of PM CPMS
Where:
X1 = the PM CPMS output data points for the
three runs constituting the performance
test,
Y1 = the PM concentration value for the three
runs constituting the performance test,

and lowest reagent flow rate measured
during the most recent performance test
demonstrating compliance with the
nitrogen oxides emission limitations.
(g) If you use a dry scrubber to comply
with the emission limitations, you must
measure the injection rate of each
sorbent during the performance testing.
The operating limit for the injection rate
of each sorbent is calculated as the
lowest 1-hour average injection rate of
each sorbent measured during the most
recent performance test demonstrating
compliance with the hydrogen chloride
emission limitations. For energy
recovery units, when your unit operates
at lower loads, multiply your sorbent
injection rate by the load fraction, as
defined in this subpart, to determine the
required injection rate (e.g., for 50
percent load, multiply the injection rate
operating limit by 0.5).
(h) If you do not use a wet scrubber,
electrostatic precipitator, or fabric filter
to comply with the emission limitations,
and if you do not determine compliance
with your particulate matter emission
limitation with either a particulate
matter CEMS or a particulate matter
CPMS, you must maintain opacity to
less than or equal to ten percent opacity
(1-hour block average).
(i) If you use a PM CPMS to
demonstrate compliance, you must
establish your PM CPMS operating limit
and determine compliance with it
according to paragraphs (i)(1) through

device other than a wet scrubber,
activated carbon injection, selective
noncatalytic reduction, fabric filter, an
electrostatic precipitator, or a dry
scrubber or limit emissions in some
other manner, including mass balances,
to comply with the emission limitations
under § 60.2670, you must petition the
EPA Administrator for specific
operating limits to be established during
the initial performance test and
continuously monitored thereafter. You
must submit the petition at least sixty
days before the performance test is
scheduled to begin. Your petition must
include the five items listed in
paragraphs (a)(1) through (5) of this
section:
(1) Identification of the specific
parameters you propose to use as
additional operating limits;
(2) A discussion of the relationship
between these parameters and emissions
of regulated pollutants, identifying how
emissions of regulated pollutants
change with changes in these
parameters and how limits on these
parameters will serve to limit emissions
of regulated pollutants;
(3) A discussion of how you will
establish the upper and/or lower values
for these parameters which will
establish the operating limits on these
parameters;

subpart.
Model Rule—Initial Compliance
Requirements
§ 60.2700 How do I demonstrate initial
compliance with the amended emission
limitations and establish the operating
limits?
You must conduct a performance test,
as required under §§ 60.2670 and
60.2690, to determine compliance with
the emission limitations in table 2 of
this subpart and tables 6 through 9 of
this subpart, to establish compliance
with any opacity operating limits in

Requirements
§ 60.2710 How do I demonstrate
continuous compliance with the amended
emission limitations and the operating
limits?
(a) Compliance with standards. (1)
The emission standards and operating
requirements set forth in this subpart
apply at all times.
(2) If you cease combusting solid
waste you may opt to remain subject to
the provisions of this subpart.
Consistent with the definition of CISWI
unit, you are subject to the requirements
of this subpart at least 6 months
following the last date of solid waste
combustion. Solid waste combustion is
ceased when solid waste is not in the
combustion chamber (i.e., the solid
waste feed to the combustor has been
cut off for a period of time not less than
the solid waste residence time).
(3) If you cease combusting solid
waste you must be in compliance with
any newly applicable standards on the
effective date of the waste-to-fuel
switch. The effective date of the wasteto-fuel switch is a date selected by you,
that must be at least 6 months from the

with this subpart until the effective date
of the waste-to-fuel switch.
(4) If you own or operate an existing
commercial or industrial combustion
unit that combusted a fuel or non-waste
material, and you commence or
recommence combustion of solid waste,
you are subject to the provisions of this
subpart as of the first day you introduce
or reintroduce solid waste to the
combustion chamber, and this date
constitutes the effective date of the fuelto-waste switch. You must complete all
initial compliance demonstrations for
any Section 112 standards that are
applicable to your facility before you
commence or recommence combustion
of solid waste. You must provide 30
days prior notice of the effective date of
the waste-to-fuel switch. The
notification must identify:
(i) The name of the owner or operator
of the CISWI unit, the location of the
source, the emissions unit(s) that will
cease burning solid waste, and the date
of the notice;
(ii) The currently applicable
subcategory under this subpart, and any
40 CFR part 63 subpart and subcategory
that will be applicable after you cease
combusting solid waste;
(iii) The fuel(s), non-waste material(s)
and solid waste(s) the CISWI unit is
currently combusting and has
combusted over the past 6 months, and
the fuel(s) or non-waste materials the
unit will commence combusting;
(iv) The date on which you became
subject to the currently applicable
emission limits;
(v) The date upon which you will
cease combusting solid waste, and the
date (if different) that you intend for any
new requirements to become applicable
(i.e., the effective date of the waste-tofuel switch), consistent with paragraphs
(a)(2) and (3) of this section.
(5) All air pollution control
equipment necessary for compliance
with any newly applicable emissions
limits which apply as a result of the
cessation or commencement or
recommencement of combusting solid
waste must be installed and operational
as of the effective date of the waste-tofuel, or fuel-to-waste switch.
(6) All monitoring systems necessary
for compliance with any newly
applicable monitoring requirements
which apply as a result of the cessation
or commencement or recommencement
of combusting solid waste must be
installed and operational as of the
effective date of the waste-to-fuel, or
fuel-to-waste switch. All calibration and
drift checks must be performed as of the
effective date of the waste-to-fuel, or
fuel-to-waste switch. Relative accuracy
tests must be performed as of the

Jkt 238001
performance test deadline for PM CEMS
(if PM CEMS are elected to demonstrate
continuous compliance with the
particulate matter emission limits).
Relative accuracy testing for other
CEMS need not be repeated if that
testing was previously performed
consistent with section 112 monitoring
requirements or monitoring
requirements under this subpart.
(b) You must conduct an annual
performance test for the pollutants
listed in table 2 of this subpart or tables
6 through 9 of this subpart and opacity
for each CISWI unit as required under
§ 60.2690. The annual performance test
must be conducted using the test
methods listed in table 2 of this subpart
or tables 6 through 9 of this subpart and
the procedures in § 60.2690. Opacity
must be measured using EPA Reference
Method 9 at 40 CFR part 60. Annual
performance tests are not required if you

monitoring systems to determine
compliance.
(c) You must continuously monitor
the operating parameters specified in
§ 60.2675 or established under § 60.2680
and as specified in § 60.2735. Operation
above the established maximum or
below the established minimum
operating limits constitutes a deviation
from the established operating limits.
Three-hour block average values are
used to determine compliance (except
for baghouse leak detection system
alarms) unless a different averaging
period is established under § 60.2680 or,
for energy recovery units, where the
averaging time for each operating
parameter is a 30-day rolling, calculated
each hour as the average of the previous
720 operating hours over the previous
30 days of operation. Operation above
the established maximum, below the
established minimum, or outside the
allowable range of the operating limits
specified in paragraph (a) of this section
constitutes a deviation from your
operating limits established under this
subpart, except during performance
tests conducted to determine
compliance with the emission and
operating limits or to establish new
operating limits. Operating limits are
confirmed or reestablished during
performance tests.
(d) You must burn only the same
types of waste and fuels used to
establish subcategory applicability (for
ERUs) and operating limits during the
performance test.
(e) For energy recovery units,
incinerators, and small remote units,
you must perform annual visual
emissions test for ash handling.
(f) For energy recovery units, you

test for opacity using EPA Reference
Method 9 at 40 CFR part 60 (except
where particulate matter continuous
monitoring system or continuous
parameter monitoring systems are used)
and the pollutants listed in table 7 of
this subpart.
(g) For facilities using a CEMS to
demonstrate compliance with the
carbon monoxide emission limit,
compliance with the carbon monoxide
emission limit may be demonstrated by
using the CEMS according to the
following requirements:
(1) You must measure emissions
according to § 60.13 to calculate 1-hour
arithmetic averages, corrected to 7
percent oxygen. CEMS data during
startup and shutdown, as defined in this
subpart, are not corrected to 7 percent
oxygen, and are measured at stack
oxygen content. You must demonstrate
initial compliance with the carbon
monoxide emissions limit using a 30day rolling average of the 1-hour
arithmetic average emission
concentrations, including CEMS data
during startup and shutdown as defined
in this subpart, calculated using
equation 19–19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA
Reference Method 19 at 40 CFR part 60,
appendix A–7.
(2) Operate the carbon monoxide
continuous emissions monitoring
system in accordance with the
applicable requirements of performance
specification 4A of appendix B and the
quality assurance procedures of
appendix F of this part.
(h) Coal and liquid/gas energy
recovery units with annual average heat
input rates greater than 250 MMBtu/hr
may elect to demonstrate continuous
compliance with the particulate matter
emissions limit using a particulate
matter CEMS according to the
procedures in § 60.2730(n) instead of
the continuous parameter monitoring
system specified in § 60.2710(i). Coal
and liquid/gas energy recovery units
with annual average heat input rates
less than 250 MMBtu/hr, incinerators,
and small remote incinerators may also
elect to demonstrate compliance using a
particulate matter CEMS according to
the procedures in § 60.2730(n) instead
of particulate matter testing with EPA
Method 5 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix
A–3 and, if applicable, the continuous
opacity monitoring requirements in
paragraph (i) of this section.
(i) For energy recovery units with
annual average heat input rates greater
than or equal to 10 MMBTU/hour but
less than 250 MMBtu/hr you must
install, operate, certify and maintain a
continuous opacity monitoring system
(COMS) according to the procedures in
§ 60.2730.

(j) For waste-burning kilns, you must
conduct an annual performance test for
the pollutants (except mercury and
particulate matter, and hydrogen
chloride if no acid gas wet scrubber is
used) listed in table 8 of this subpart. If
you do not use an acid gas wet scrubber
or dry scrubber, you must determine
compliance with the hydrogen chloride
emissions limit according to the
requirements in paragraph (j)(1) of this
section. You must determine
compliance with the mercury emissions
limit using a mercury CEMS according
to paragraph (j)(2) of this section. You
must determine compliance with
particulate matter using CPMS:
(1) If you monitor compliance with
the HCl emissions limit by operating an
HCl CEMS, you must do so in
accordance with Performance
Specification 15 (PS 15) of appendix B
to 40 CFR part 60, or, PS 18 of appendix
B to 40 CFR part 60. You must operate,
maintain, and quality assure a HCl
CEMS installed and certified under PS
15 according to the quality assurance
requirements in Procedure 1 of
appendix F to 40 CFR part 60 except
that the Relative Accuracy Test Audit
requirements of Procedure 1 must be
replaced with the validation
requirements and criteria of sections
11.1.1 and 12.0 of PS 15. You must
operate, maintain and quality assure a
HCl CEMS installed and certified under
PS 18 according to the quality assurance
requirements in Procedure 6 of
appendix F to 40 CFR part 60. For any
performance specification that you use,
you must use Method 321 of appendix
A to 40 CFR part 63 as the reference test
method for conducting relative accuracy
testing. The span value and calibration
requirements in paragraphs (j)(1)(i) and
(ii) of this section apply to all HCl
CEMS used under this subpart:
(i) You must use a measurement span
value for any HCl CEMS of 0–10 ppmvw
unless the monitor is installed on a kiln
without an inline raw mill. Kilns
without an inline raw mill may use a
higher span value sufficient to quantify
all expected emissions concentrations.
The HCl CEMS data recorder output
range must include the full range of
expected HCl concentration values
which would include those expected
during ‘‘mill off’’ conditions. The
corresponding data recorder range shall
be documented in the site-specific
monitoring plan and associated records;
and
(ii) In order to quality assure data
measured above the span value, you
must use one of the three options in
paragraphs (j)(1)(ii)(A) through (C) of
this section:
(A) Include a second span that
encompasses the HCl emission
concentrations expected to be
encountered during ‘‘mill off’’
conditions. This second span may be
rounded to a multiple of 5 ppm of total
HCl. The requirements of the
appropriate HCl monitor performance
specification shall be followed for this
second span with the exception that a
RATA with the mill off is not required;
(B) Quality assure any data above the
span value by proving instrument
linearity beyond the span value
established in paragraph (j)(1)(i) of this
section using the following procedure.
Conduct a weekly ‘‘above span
linearity’’ calibration challenge of the
monitoring system using a reference gas
with a certified value greater than your
highest expected hourly concentration
or greater than 75% of the highest
measured hourly concentration. The
‘‘above span’’ reference gas must meet
the requirements of the applicable
performance specification and must be
introduced to the measurement system
at the probe. Record and report the
results of this procedure as you would
for a daily calibration. The ‘‘above span
linearity’’ challenge is successful if the
value measured by the HCl CEMS falls
within 10 percent of the certified value
of the reference gas. If the value
measured by the HCl CEMS during the
above span linearity challenge exceeds
10 percent of the certified value of the
reference gas, the monitoring system
must be evaluated and repaired and a
new ‘‘above span linearity’’ challenge
met before returning the HCl CEMS to
service, or data above span from the HCl
CEMS must be subject to the quality
assurance procedures established in
(j)(1)(ii)(D) of this section. In this
manner values measured by the HCl
CEMS during the above span linearity
challenge exceeding +/¥20 percent of
the certified value of the reference gas
must be normalized using equation 6;
(C) Quality assure any data above the
span value established in paragraph
(j)(1)(i) of this section using the
following procedure. Any time two
consecutive one-hour average measured
concentration of HCl exceeds the span
value you must, within 24 hours before
or after, introduce a higher, ‘‘above
span’’ HCl reference gas standard to the
HCl CEMS. The ‘‘above span’’ reference
gas must meet the requirements of the
applicable performance specification
and target a concentration level between
50 and 150 percent of the highest
expected hourly concentration
measured during the period of
measurements above span, and must be
introduced at the probe. While this
target represents a desired concentration
range that is not always achievable in
practice, it is expected that the intent to
meet this range is demonstrated by the
value of the reference gas. Expected
values may include above span
calibrations done before or after the
above-span measurement period. Record
and report the results of this procedure
as you would for a daily calibration. The
‘‘above span’’ calibration is successful if
the value measured by the HCl CEMS is
within 20 percent of the certified value
of the reference gas. If the value
measured by the HCl CEMS is not
within 20 percent of the certified value
of the reference gas, then you must
normalize the stack gas values measured
above span as described in paragraph
(j)(1)(ii)(D) of this section. If the ‘‘above
span’’ calibration is conducted during
the period when measured emissions
are above span and there is a failure to
collect the one data point in an hour
due to the calibration duration, then you
must determine the emissions average
for that missed hour as the average of
hourly averages for the hour preceding
the missed hour and the hour following
the missed hour. In an hour where an
‘‘above span’’ calibration is being
conducted and one or more data points
are collected, the emissions average is
represented by the average of all valid
data points collected in that hour; and
(D) In the event that the ‘‘above span’’
calibration is not successful (i.e., the
HCl CEMS measured value is not within
20 percent of the certified value of the
reference gas), then you must normalize
the one-hour average stack gas values
measured above the span during the 24hour period preceding or following the
‘‘above span’’ calibration for reporting
based on the HCl CEMS response to the
reference gas as shown in equation 6:
Only one ‘‘above span’’ calibration is
needed per 24-hour period.
(2) Compliance with the mercury
emissions limit must be determined
using a mercury CEMS according to the
following requirements:

to an equivalent of 7 percent oxygen. If
carbon dioxide is selected for use in
diluent corrections, the relationship
between oxygen and carbon dioxide
levels must be established during the
initial performance test according to the
procedures and methods specified in
paragraphs (t)(4)(i) through (iv) of this
section. This relationship may be
reestablished during performance
compliance tests:
(i) The fuel factor equation in Method
3B must be used to determine the
relationship between oxygen and carbon
dioxide at a sampling location. Method
3A, 3B, or as an alternative ANSI/ASME
PTC 19.10–1981 (incorporated by

subpart, as applicable, demonstrates
that the emission level for the pollutant
is no greater than the emission level
specified in paragraph (a)(3)(i) or
(a)(3)(ii) of this section, as applicable,
and you are not required to conduct a
performance test for the pollutant in
response to a request by the
Administrator in paragraph (a)(1) of this
section or a process change in paragraph
(a)(2) of this section, you may elect to
skip conducting a performance test for
the pollutant for the next 2 years. You
must conduct a performance test for the
pollutant during the third year and no
more than 37 months following the
previous performance test for the
pollutant. For cadmium and lead, both
cadmium and lead must be emitted at
emission levels no greater than their
respective emission levels specified in
paragraph (a)(3)(i) of this section for you
to qualify for less frequent testing under
paragraph (a) of this section:

chloride, mercury, carbon monoxide,
nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide,
cadmium, lead, and dioxins/furans, the
emission level equal to 75 percent of the
applicable emission limit in table 2 or
tables 6 through 9 of this subpart, as
applicable, to this subpart; and
(ii) For fugitive emissions, visible
emissions (of combustion ash from the
ash conveying system) for 2 percent of
the time during each of the three 1-hour

you must conduct annual performance
tests for the pollutant according to the
schedule specified in paragraph (a) of
this section until you qualify for less
frequent testing for the pollutant as
specified in paragraph (a)(3) of this
section.
(2) Particulate matter concentration
must be measured downstream of the
in-line coal mill. All other pollutant
concentrations must be measured either
upstream or downstream of the in-line
coal mill.
(3) For purposes of determining the
combined emissions from kilns
equipped with an alkali bypass or that
exhaust kiln gases to a coal mill that
exhausts through a separate stack,
instead of installing a CEMS or PM
CPMS on the alkali bypass stack or inline coal mill stack, the results of the
initial and subsequent performance test
can be used to demonstrate compliance
with the relevant emissions limit. A
performance test must be conducted on
an annual basis (between 11 and 13
calendar months following the previous
performance test).

Model Rule—Monitoring
§ 60.2730 What monitoring equipment
must I install and what parameters must I
monitor?
(a) If you are using a wet scrubber to
comply with the emission limitation
under § 60.2670, you must install,
calibrate (to manufacturers’
specifications), maintain, and operate
devices (or establish methods) for
monitoring the value of the operating
parameters used to determine
compliance with the operating limits
listed in table 3 of this subpart. These
devices (or methods) must measure and
record the values for these operating
parameters at the frequencies indicated
in table 3 of this subpart at all times
except as specified in § 60.2735(a).
(b) If you use a fabric filter to comply
with the requirements of this subpart
and you do not use a PM CPMS for
monitoring PM compliance, you must
install, calibrate, maintain, and
continuously operate a bag leak
detection system as specified in
paragraphs (b)(1) through (8) of this
section:
(1) You must install and operate a bag
leak detection system for each exhaust
stack of the fabric filter;
(2) Each bag leak detection system
must be installed, operated, calibrated,
and maintained in a manner consistent
with the manufacturer’s written
specifications and recommendations;
(3) The bag leak detection system
must be certified by the manufacturer to
be capable of detecting particulate
matter emissions at concentrations of 10
milligrams per actual cubic meter or
less;
(4) The bag leak detection system
sensor must provide output of relative
or absolute particulate matter loadings;

asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 121 / Thursday, June 23, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
(5) The bag leak detection system
must be equipped with a device to
continuously record the output signal
from the sensor;
(6) The bag leak detection system
must be equipped with an alarm system
that will alert automatically an operator
when an increase in relative particulate
matter emission over a preset level is
detected. The alarm must be located
where it is observed easily by plant
operating personnel;
(7) For positive pressure fabric filter
systems, a bag leak detection system
must be installed in each baghouse
compartment or cell. For negative
pressure or induced air fabric filters, the
bag leak detector must be installed
downstream of the fabric filter; and
(8) Where multiple detectors are
required, the system’s instrumentation
and alarm may be shared among
detectors.
(c) If you are using something other
than a wet scrubber, activated carbon,
selective non-catalytic reduction, an
electrostatic precipitator, or a dry
scrubber to comply with the emission
limitations under § 60.2670, you must
install, calibrate (to the manufacturers’
specifications), maintain, and operate
the equipment necessary to monitor
compliance with the site-specific
operating limits established using the
procedures in § 60.2680.
(d) If you use activated carbon
injection to comply with the emission
limitations in this subpart, you must
measure the minimum sorbent flow rate
once per hour.
(e) If you use selective noncatalytic
reduction to comply with the emission
limitations, you must complete the
following:
(1) Following the date on which the
initial performance test is completed or
is required to be completed under
§ 60.2690, whichever date comes first,
ensure that the affected facility does not
operate above the maximum charge rate,
or below the minimum secondary
chamber temperature (if applicable to
your CISWI unit) or the minimum
reagent flow rate measured as 3-hour
block averages at all times; and
(2) Operation of the affected facility
above the maximum charge rate, below
the minimum secondary chamber
temperature and below the minimum
reagent flow rate simultaneously
constitute a violation of the nitrogen
oxides emissions limit.
(f) If you use an electrostatic
precipitator to comply with the
emission limits of this subpart and you
do not use a PM CPMS for monitoring
PM compliance, you must monitor the
secondary power to the electrostatic
precipitator collection plates and

maintain the 3-hour block averages at or
above the operating limits established
during the mercury or particulate matter
performance test.
(g) For waste-burning kilns not
equipped with a wet scrubber or dry
scrubber, in place of hydrogen chloride
testing with EPA Method 321 at 40 CFR
part 63, appendix A, an owner or
operator must install, calibrate,
maintain, and operate a CEMS for
monitoring hydrogen chloride
emissions, as specified in § 60.2710(j),
discharged to the atmosphere and
record the output of the system. To
demonstrate continuous compliance
with the hydrogen chloride emissions
limit for units other than waste-burning
kilns not equipped with a wet scrubber
or dry scrubber, a facility may substitute
use of a hydrogen chloride CEMS for
conducting the hydrogen chloride
annual performance test, monitoring the
minimum hydrogen chloride sorbent
flow rate, monitoring the minimum
scrubber liquor pH.
(h) To demonstrate continuous
compliance with the particulate matter
emissions limit, a facility may substitute
use of either a particulate matter CEMS
or a particulate matter CPMS for
conducting the particulate matter
annual performance test and other CMS
monitoring for PM compliance (e.g., bag
leak detectors, ESP secondary power,
PM scrubber pressure).
(i) To demonstrate continuous
compliance with the dioxin/furan
emissions limit, a facility may substitute
use of a continuous automated sampling
system for the dioxin/furan annual
performance test. You must record the
output of the system and analyze the
sample according to EPA Method 23 at
40 CFR part 60, appendix A–7. This
option to use a continuous automated
sampling system takes effect on the date
a final performance specification
applicable to dioxin/furan from
continuous monitors is published in the
Federal Register. The owner or operator
who elects to continuously sample
dioxin/furan emissions instead of
sampling and testing using EPA Method
23 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A–7
must install, calibrate, maintain and
operate a continuous automated
sampling system and must comply with
the requirements specified in
§ 60.58b(p) and (q). A facility may
substitute continuous dioxin/furan
monitoring for the minimum sorbent
flow rate, if activated carbon sorbent
injection is used solely for compliance
with the dioxin/furan emission limit.
(j) To demonstrate continuous
compliance with the mercury emissions
limit, a facility may substitute use of a
continuous automated sampling system
PO 00000
Frm 00063
Fmt 4701

for the mercury annual performance
test. You must record the output of the
system and analyze the sample at set
intervals using any suitable
determinative technique that can meet
performance specification 12B criteria.
This option to use a continuous
automated sampling system takes effect
on the date a final performance
specification applicable to mercury from
monitors is published in the Federal
Register. The owner or operator who
elects to continuously sample mercury
emissions instead of sampling and
testing using EPA Method 29 or 30B at
40 CFR part 60, appendix A–8, ASTM
D6784–02 (Reapproved 2008)
(incorporated by reference, see § 60.17),
or an approved alternative method for
measuring mercury emissions, must
install, calibrate, maintain and operate a
continuous automated sampling system
and must comply with the requirements
specified in § 60.58b(p) and (q). A
facility may substitute continuous
mercury monitoring for the minimum
sorbent flow rate, if activated carbon
sorbent injection is used solely for
compliance with the mercury emission
limit. Waste-burning kilns must install,
calibrate, maintain, and operate a
mercury CEMS as specified in
§ 60.2710(j).
(k) To demonstrate continuous
compliance with the nitrogen oxides
emissions limit, a facility may substitute
use of a CEMS for the nitrogen oxides
annual performance test to demonstrate
compliance with the nitrogen oxides
emissions limits and monitoring the
charge rate, secondary chamber
temperature and reagent flow for
selective noncatalytic reduction, if
applicable:
(1) Install, calibrate, maintain and
operate a CEMS for measuring nitrogen
oxides emissions discharged to the
atmosphere and record the output of the
system. The requirements under
performance specification 2 of appendix
B of this part, the quality assurance
procedure 1 of appendix F of this part
and the procedures under § 60.13 must
be followed for installation, evaluation
and operation of the CEMS; and
(2) Following the date that the initial
performance test for nitrogen oxides is
completed or is required to be
completed under § 60.2690, compliance
with the emission limit for nitrogen
oxides required under § 60.52b(d) must
be determined based on the 30-day
rolling average of the hourly emission
concentrations using CEMS outlet data.
The 1-hour arithmetic averages must be
expressed in parts per million by
volume corrected to 7 percent oxygen
(dry basis) and used to calculate the 30day rolling average concentrations.

CEMS data during startup and
shutdown, as defined in this subpart,
are not corrected to 7 percent oxygen,
and are measured at stack oxygen
content. The 1-hour arithmetic averages
must be calculated using the data points
required under § 60.13(e)(2).
(l) To demonstrate continuous
compliance with the sulfur dioxide
emissions limit, a facility may substitute
use of a continuous automated sampling
system for the sulfur dioxide annual
performance test to demonstrate
compliance with the sulfur dioxide
emissions limits:
(1) Install, calibrate, maintain and
operate a CEMS for measuring sulfur
dioxide emissions discharged to the
atmosphere and record the output of the
system. The requirements under
performance specification 2 of appendix
B of this part, the quality assurance
requirements of procedure 1 of
appendix F of this part and the
procedures under § 60.13 must be
followed for installation, evaluation and
operation of the CEMS; and
(2) Following the date that the initial
performance test for sulfur dioxide is
completed or is required to be
completed under § 60.2690, compliance
with the sulfur dioxide emission limit
may be determined based on the 30-day
rolling average of the hourly arithmetic
average emission concentrations using
CEMS outlet data. The 1-hour arithmetic
averages must be expressed in parts per
million corrected to 7 percent oxygen
(dry basis) and used to calculate the 30day rolling average emission
concentrations. CEMS data during
startup and shutdown, as defined in this
subpart, are not corrected to 7 percent
oxygen, and are measured at stack
oxygen content. The 1-hour arithmetic
averages must be calculated using the
data points required under § 60.13(e)(2).
(m) For energy recovery units over 10
MMBtu/hr but less than 250 MMBtu/hr
annual average heat input rates that do
not use a wet scrubber, fabric filter with
bag leak detection system, or particulate
matter CEMS, you must install, operate,
certify and maintain a continuous
opacity monitoring system according to
the procedures in paragraphs (m)(1)
through (5) of this section by the
compliance date specified in § 60.2670.
Energy recovery units that use a
particulate matter CEMS to demonstrate

in § 60.2710(t)(4)(i) through (iv);
(6) The owner or operator of an
affected facility must conduct an initial
performance test for particulate matter
emissions as required under § 60.2690.
Compliance with the particulate matter
emission limit, if PM CEMS are elected
for demonstrating compliance, must be
determined by using the CEMS
specified in paragraph (n) of this section
to measure particulate matter. You must
calculate a 30-day rolling average of 1hour arithmetic average emission
concentrations, including CEMS data
during startup and shutdown, as
defined in this subpart, using equation
19–19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA
Reference Method 19 at 40 CFR part 60,
appendix A–7 of this part;
(7) Compliance with the particulate
matter emission limit must be

(dry basis) and must be used to calculate
the 30-day rolling average emission
concentrations. CEMS data during
startup and shutdown, as defined in this
subpart, are not corrected to 7 percent
oxygen, and are measured at stack
oxygen content. The 1-hour arithmetic
averages must be calculated using the
data points required under § 60.13(e)(2);
(10) All valid CEMS data must be
used in calculating average emission
concentrations even if the minimum
CEMS data requirements of paragraph
(n)(8) of this section are not met;
(11) The CEMS must be operated
according to performance specification
11 in appendix B of this part;
(12) During each relative accuracy test
run of the CEMS required by
performance specification 11 in
appendix B of this part, particulate
matter and oxygen (or carbon dioxide)
data must be collected concurrently (or
within a 30-to 60-minute period) by

Space heater means a unit that meets
the requirements of 40 CFR 279.23. A
space heater is not an incinerator, a
waste-burning kiln, an energy recovery
unit or a small, remote incinerator
under this subpart.
Standard conditions, when referring
to units of measure, means a
temperature of 68 °F (20 °C) and a
pressure of 1 atmosphere (101.3
kilopascals).
Startup period means, for incinerators
and small, remote incinerators, the
period of time between the activation of
the system and the first charge to the
unit.
Useful thermal energy means energy
(i.e., steam, hot water, or process heat)
that meets the minimum operating
temperature and/or pressure required by
any energy use system that uses energy
provided by the affected energy
recovery unit.
Waste-burning kiln means a kiln that
is heated, in whole or in part, by
combusting solid waste (as the term is
defined by the Administrator in 40 CFR
part 241). Secondary materials used in
Portland cement kilns shall not be
deemed to be combusted unless they are
introduced into the flame zone in the
hot end of the kiln or mixed with the
precalciner fuel.
Wet scrubber means an add-on air
pollution control device that uses an
aqueous or alkaline scrubbing liquor to
collect particulate matter (including
nonvaporous metals and condensed
organics) and/or to absorb and
neutralize acid gases.
Wood waste means untreated wood
and untreated wood products, including
tree stumps (whole or chipped), trees,
tree limbs (whole or chipped), bark,
sawdust, chips, scraps, slabs, millings,
and shavings. Wood waste does not
include:
(1) Grass, grass clippings, bushes,
shrubs, and clippings from bushes and
shrubs from residential, commercial/
retail, institutional, or industrial sources
as part of maintaining yards or other
private or public lands;
(2) Construction, renovation, or
demolition wastes; or
(3) Clean lumber.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule; notice of final action on reconsideration.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action sets forth the Environmental Protection Agency's
(EPA) final decision on the issues for which it granted reconsideration
on January 21, 2015, which pertain to certain aspects of the February
7, 2013, final rule titled ``Standards of Performance for New
Stationary Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources:
Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units'' (CISWI
rule). The EPA is finalizing proposed actions on these four topics:
Definition of ``continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) data
during startup and shutdown periods;'' particulate matter (PM) limit
for the waste-burning kiln subcategory; fuel variability factor (FVF)
for coal-burning energy recovery units (ERUs); and the definition of
``kiln.'' This action also includes our final decision to deny the
requests for reconsideration of all other issues raised in the
petitions for reconsideration of the 2013 final commercial and
industrial solid waste incineration rule for which we did not grant
reconsideration.
DATES: The amendments in this rule to 40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD, are
effective June 23, 2016, and to 40 CFR part 60, subpart CCCC, are
effective December 23, 2016. The incorporation by reference of certain
publications listed in this rule was approved February 7, 2013.

CAA section 307(b)(2), the requirements established by this final rule
may not be challenged separately in any civil or criminal proceedings
brought by the EPA to enforce these requirements.
II. Summary of Final Amendments
A. Background Information
On March 21, 2011, the EPA promulgated revised NSPS and EG for
CISWI units. Following that action, the Administrator received
petitions for reconsideration that identified certain issues that
warranted further opportunity for public comment. In response to the
petitions, the EPA reconsidered and requested comment on several
provisions of the February 2011 final NSPS and EG for commercial and
industrial solid waste incineration units. The EPA published the
proposed revisions to the NSPS and EG for commercial and industrial
solid waste units on December 23, 2011 (76 FR 80452).
On February 7, 2013, the EPA promulgated the final reconsidered
NSPS and EG for CISWI units (78 FR 9112). The final rule made some
revisions to the December 2011 proposed reconsideration rule in
response to comments and additional information received. Following
that action, the EPA again received petitions for reconsideration.
These petitions stated certain provisions should be reconsidered and
that the public lacked sufficient opportunity to comment on some of the
provisions contained in the final 2013 CISWI rule. On January 21, 2015,
the EPA reconsidered and requested comment on four provisions of the
2013 final NSPS and EG for CISWI units. Additionally, the EPA proposed
clarifying changes and corrections to the final rule, some of which
were raised in petitions for reconsideration of the 2013 CISWI rule.
The EPA also proposed to amend the final rule by removing the
affirmative defense provision. The EPA continued to evaluate the
remaining issues raised in the petitions for reconsideration of the
February 7, 2013 final CISWI reconsideration based on public comments
received on the January 21, 2015, proposed reconsideration. For a more
detailed background and additional information on how this rule is
related to other CAA combustion rules issued under CAA section 112 and
[[Page 40958]]
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) definition of solid
waste, refer to prior notices (76 FR 15704, 78 FR 9112).
B. Actions We Are Taking
In this document, we are finalizing amendments associated with
certain issues raised by Petitioners in their petitions for
reconsideration on the 2013 CISWI rule. These provisions are: (1)
Definition of ``CEMS data during startup and shutdown periods;'' (2)
particulate matter (PM) limit for the waste-burning kiln subcategory;
(3) fuel variability factor (FVF) for coal-burning energy recovery
units (ERUs); and (4) the definition of ``kiln.'' The final amendments
are summarized as follows:
1. Definition of ``CEMS data during startup and shutdown periods'':
The EPA is revising the ``CEMS data during startup and shutdown''
definition to be subcategory-specific. For ERUs and waste-burning
kilns, the definitions reflect provisions similar to those of the non-
waste counterpart National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) to CISWI for the type of source (i.e., boilers and
cement kilns). Therefore, ERUs will comply with provisions similar to
those in the major source Boiler NESHAP, and waste-burning kilns will
comply with provisions similar to those in the Portland Cement NESHAP.
For incinerators and small remote incinerators, the proposed definition
(i.e., from a cold start and up to 48 hours for startup and 24 hours or
less for shutdown) will apply.
2. Particulate matter limit for the waste-burning kiln subcategory:
The EPA has determined that the test averages, instead of the
individual test runs, should be used to establish the standards for new
and existing waste-burning kilns. Based on that approach, the final PM
emission limits for existing kilns is 13.5 mg/dscm and the final PM
emission limit for new kilns is 4.9 mg/dscm.
3. Fuel variability factor (FVF) for coal-burning energy recovery
units: The EPA is incorporating a fuel variability factor and adopting
as final the emission limits discussed in the proposed rule for cadmium
(Cd), hydrogen chloride (HCl), mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), filterable
particulate matter (PM), and nitrogen oxides (NOX).
Additionally, the EPA has re-evaluated the fuel sulfur data with paired
sulfur dioxide (SO2) data and is incorporating a FVF into
the floor calculations for SO2. The final SO2
limit for existing and new coal ERUs is 850 parts per million by dry
volume (ppmvd).
4. Definition of ``kiln'': The EPA is finalizing a definition of
``kiln'' that is consistent with that of the Portland Cement NESHAP.
The terms ``in-line raw mill'' and ``in-line coal mill'' are included
in the definition, and, therefore, have been added to the definitions
within the CISWI rule. Furthermore, the EPA is finalizing the proposed
compliance demonstration and ongoing monitoring method for waste-
burning kilns that combine emission streams from the in-line raw mill
and/or the in-line coal mill and exhaust through multiple stacks. The
EPA is also finalizing clarifying language that makes the monitoring
requirements for waste-burning kilns consistent with those in the
Portland Cement NESHAP. Specifically, we are not requiring that CEMS or
PM continuous parameter monitoring systems (CPMS) be installed on
separate alkali bypass or in-line coal mill stacks. Instead, as is the
case with the Portland Cement NESHAP, the results of the initial and
subsequent performance tests for the alkali bypass and in-line coal
mill stacks can be used to determine the combined emissions to
demonstrate compliance with the relevant emissions limit. However,
unlike the Portland Cement NESHAP, the performance test must be
conducted on an annual basis (between 11 and 13 calendar months
following the previous performance test) to keep the testing schedule
for these stacks consistent with the CISWI rule's annual performance
testing requirements.
Section IV of this preamble discusses these issues in further
detail and presents the revisions necessary to address each issue.
Additionally, the EPA is clarifying certain applicability
provisions relating to incinerator units and air curtain incinerator
units subject to the 2000 CISWI NSPS and is correcting various
typographical errors identified in the rule as published in the CFR.
Section V of this preamble discusses these issues in further detail.
The EPA is also finalizing the proposed amendments to the final
rule by removing the affirmative defense provision for the reasons set
forth in the proposed rule. See 80 FR 3018, 3025 (January 21, 2015).
C. Other Actions We Are Taking
Section 307(d)(7)(B) of the CAA states that ``[o]nly an objection
to a rule or procedure which was raised with reasonable specificity
during the period for public comment (including any public hearing) may
be raised during judicial review. If the person raising an objection
can demonstrate to the Administrator that it was impracticable to raise
such objection within such time or if the grounds for such objection
arose after the period for public comment (but within the time
specified for judicial review) and if such objection is of central
relevance to the outcome of the rule, the Administrator shall convene a
proceeding for reconsideration of the rule and provide the same
procedural rights as would have been afforded had the information been
available at the time the rule was proposed. If the Administrator
refuses to convene such a proceeding, such person may seek review of
such refusal in the United States court of appeals for the appropriate
circuit (as provided in subsection (b)).''
As to the first procedural criterion for reconsideration, a
petitioner must show why the issue could not have been presented during
the comment period, either because it was impracticable to raise the
issue during that time or because the grounds for the issue arose after
the period for public comment (but within 60 days of publication of the
final action). The EPA is denying the petitions for reconsideration on
a number of issues because this criterion has not been met. In many
cases, the petitions reiterate comments made on the proposed December
2011 rule during the public comment period for that rule. On those
issues, the EPA responded to those comments in the final rule and made
appropriate revisions to the proposed rule after consideration of
public comments received. It is well established that an agency may
refine its proposed approach without providing an additional
opportunity for public comment. See Community Nutrition Institute v.
Block, 749 F.2d at 58 and International Fabricare Institute v. EPA, 972
F.2d 384, 399 (D.C. Cir. 1992) (notice and comment is not intended to
result in ``interminable back-and-forth[,]'' nor is an agency required
to provide additional opportunity to comment on its response to
comments) and Small Refiner Lead Phase-Down Task Force v. EPA, 705 F.2d
506, 547 (D.C. Cir. 1983) (``notice requirement should not force an
agency endlessly to repropose a rule because of minor changes'').
In the EPA's view, an objection is of central relevance to the
outcome of the rule only if it provides substantial support for the
argument that the promulgated regulation should be revised. See Union
Oil v. EPA, 821 F.2d 768, 683 (D.C. Cir. 1987) (court declined to
remand rule because petitioners failed to show substantial likelihood
that final rule would have been changed
[[Page 40959]]
based on information in petition). See also the EPA's Denial of the
Petitions to Reconsider the Endangerment and Cause or Contribute
Findings for Greenhouse Gases under Section 202 of the Clean Air Act,
75 FR at 49556, 49561 (August 13, 2010). See also 75 FR at 49556,
49560-49563 (August 13, 2010) and 76 FR at 4780, 4786-4788 (January 26,
2011) for additional discussion of the standard for reconsideration
under CAA section 307(d)(7)(B).
This action includes our final decision to deny the requests for
reconsideration with respect to all issues raised in the petitions for
reconsideration of the final 2013 CISWI rule for which we did not grant
reconsideration. These denied requests for reconsideration are
discussed in detail in the ``Reconsideration issues on the 2013 final
rule'' memorandum found in the docket to this rulemaking.
III. Summary of Significant Changes Since Proposal
The EPA did not propose revisions to the definition of ``CEMS data
during startup and shutdown,'' but requested comment and suggestions
for provisions in this definition that would address the transitional
operation period at startup. Based on our review of comments received
and suggestions on provisions, we are finalizing revised subcategory-
specific definitions for ``CEMS data during startup and shutdown'' that
are operationally representative for the subcategory of unit, and more
closely resemble the non-waste burning regulatory definitions of these
periods of operation. This issue, and the rationale for doing so, are
discussed in greater detail in section IV.A. of this preamble.
Similarly, the EPA did not propose PM emission limits for waste-
burning kilns based on test average data instead of test run data, but
requested comment on the appropriateness of such an approach for this
set of data. Upon consideration of comments, the EPA has determined to
adopt the emission limits based on test average data for PM for the
waste-burning kiln subcategory, and we have discussed our rationale for
this in section IV.B. of this preamble.
The EPA did not propose but requested comment and additional data
concerning the need for a FVF for coal-fired ERUs. Potential emission
limits based on periods of non-waste combustion and, if applicable, a
FVF for coal ERUs were discussed in the proposal for coal-burning ERUs
for Cd, HCl, Hg, Pb, PM, and NOX. Based on comments and
additional analysis, the EPA is adopting these emission limits and also
incorporating a FVF into the floor calculations for the SO2
emission limit. The EPA did not discuss a FVF for SO2 at
proposal because the sulfur data the EPA had intended to use to develop
the FVF appeared to have only one data point that could be paired with
SO2 emissions test data. It was brought to the EPA's
attention during the comment period, however, that there were in fact
two data points in the sulfur data set that could be paired with
emissions test data. It was not initially clear that the coal samples
dated 4-9 days prior to the emissions test were paired samples.
However, during the comment period, a commenter informed the EPA these
data were paired and the different dates were due to the lag time
between sampling and actual combustion. This clarification enabled the
EPA to determine that sufficient paired data exist for the calculation
of a FVF for SO2, which resulted in a revised SO2
emission limit of 850 ppmvd for new and existing coal ERUs. Consistent
with the January 21, 2015 proposal, the EPA is adopting this revised
emission limit to account for the fuel variability for this subcategory
of CISWI units. Section IV.C of this preamble discusses this issue in
further detail and responds to comments on the issue.
Additionally, the HCl CEMS requirements for waste-burning kilns not
equipped with acid gas wet or dry scrubbers have been revised in
response to comments and to be more consistent with more recently
promulgated monitoring provisions included in the Portland Cement
NESHAP rule. These revised provisions allow sources to use CEMS
installed and operated according to either Performance Specification 15
or Performance Specification 18 to continuously monitor HCl emissions.
The revised provisions also provide additional clarification and detail
to sources on the procedures to use for calibrating and verifying the
performance of the HCl CEMS.
IV. Summary of Significant Comments and Responses
This section of the preamble summarizes the major comments received
regarding the reconsidered issues and the EPA's responses in support of
this final rule. For other comments not discussed here, refer to the
``Summary of Public Comments and Responses for Commercial and
Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units: 2015 Reconsideration and
Final Amendments'' in the docket.
A. Definition of ``CEMS Data During Startup and Shutdown Periods''
Background: In the January 21, 2015, proposal, the EPA requested
comments on the definition of ``CEMS data during startup and shutdown''
that was in the February 2013 final rule. As background, the 2011 CISWI
final rule contained CEMS monitoring requirements for carbon monoxide
(CO) from new sources, including a provision that mandated a 7 percent
oxygen correction. After the 2011 CISWI final rule was published,
petitioners indicated that correcting CO concentration measurements to
7 percent oxygen is problematic during startup and shutdown periods
when the flue gas oxygen content approaches the oxygen content of
ambient air, especially with regard to the ERU subcategory. Oxygen
contents are often maintained relatively close to ambient air during
combustion unit startup and shutdown in order to safely operate the
unit, but, as a result, the corrected CO values during these periods
are artificially inflated due to the oxygen correction calculation.
Petitioners presented data that demonstrated how these inflated data
points drive the 30-day rolling average values beyond the emission
limit.
To resolve this issue, the EPA determined that the 7 percent oxygen
correction would not be required for CEMS data collected during periods
of startup and shutdown, referred to and defined as ``CEMS data during
startup and shutdown.''
Based on data submitted for coal-burning ERUs, a new definition of
``CEMS data during startup and shutdown'' was proposed in the December
2011 reconsideration proposal that referred to the data collected
during the first 4 hours of operation of an energy recovery unit
starting up from a cold start and the hour of operation following the
cessation of waste material being fed to the unit during shutdown.
The EPA received comments on the proposed definition expressing
concern that the time limits included in the definition may not
accurately represent all CISWI unit types. Further, commenters argued
that the same logic should apply for all CEMS-measured emission limits,
not just CO. They explained that, even though CEMS is a compliance
alternative rather than a requirement for most CISWI standards, other
air regulations and permit requirements may require the units to
continue to monitor emissions using CEMS data. Therefore, in the
February 2013 CISWI final rule, the definition was revised to include
all pollutants measured with a CEMS, expanded to include a separate
definition for waste-burning kilns, and revised to remove the 4-hour
and 1-hour time limits in the
[[Page 40960]]
definition. Within that definition, the EPA defined the end of the
startup period and the beginning of the shutdown period as the
introduction and cessation of waste fed to the unit, respectively.
Information available for the best performing units described their
typical operation and supported defining the startup and shutdown
periods based on the introduction and cessation of waste being fed to
the units. Furthermore, for the incinerator, small remote incinerator,
and the ERU subcategories, the February 2013 action specified an upper
limit of 48 hours for startup periods and 24 hours for shutdown periods
of CEMS data, consistent with information provided by commenters.
After the February 2013 CISWI final rule was promulgated, the EPA
received petitions stating that stakeholders did not have the
opportunity to comment on the final definition, especially the clause
that defines the beginning and ending of these periods as the
introduction and cessation, respectively, of waste material being fed
to the combustor. Petitioners argued that, with the inclusion of the
provision ending startup when waste is added to the unit, the end of
startup will occur too early because units that combust waste often
introduce waste before steady state operations to transition from
startup fuel to waste and other primary fuel combustion. For this
reason, the petitioners argued that the EPA should extend the startup
period duration to include the period of time when sources are
transitioning to waste combustion from the startup fuel.
On January 21, 2015, the EPA requested comment on whether the
definition should be revised to extend the startup period to include
this transitional period of combustor operation. In addition, the EPA
requested that commenters suggest provisions that would ensure adequate
application of the CEMS data during startup and shutdown definition,
such as maximum allowable time limits after introduction of waste, if
the agency were to allow solid waste combustion during startup.
Comment: Several commenters supported, to a degree, the EPA's
change in the 2013 final rule from the proposed 4-hour and 1-hour time
limits on the definitions of CEMS data during startup and shutdown to
the more subcategory-specific definitions found in the 2013 final rule,
but suggested additional revisions to make the definition more
accurately reflect these periods for certain types of units. Commenters
noted technical reasons during startup that cause corrected emissions
concentrations to possibly show emissions in excess of those occurring
during normal, steady-state operation due to the 7 percent oxygen
correction. These reasons included: (1) Stack oxygen levels approach
ambient levels, inflating oxygen correction factors even though mass
emission rates are low; (2) the combustor has not attained optimal
temperature, turbulence, and residence time conditions, which are key
factors for control of combustion-related emissions; and (3) air
pollution control equipment has not achieved necessary minimum
temperature and/or other operating conditions necessary for effective
steady-state performance on which the standards are based. The
commenters also asserted that, while elevated emissions do occur during
startups, the magnitude and period of elevated emissions will be
actively minimized as required by the ``general duty'' provisions to
minimize emissions at all times including startups and shutdowns.
Additionally, the commenters argued that, for ERUs, at least, unit
operators are economically motivated to minimize the duration of any
startups, because the shorter the startup, the quicker a unit can be
brought online to sell steam and/or connect to the grid and sell power.
Also with respect to ERUs, commenters stated that units firing solid
material on grates or in fluidized beds require more time for the
material to fully ignite and achieve the optimal combustion conditions
than gaseous or liquid-fired units do. The commenters stated that
elevated corrected emission concentrations following initial solid
material firing is an inherent characteristic of ERU subcategories such
as stoker and fluidized bed biomass ERUs. In conclusion, the commenters
recommended that, given the virtually identical technologies used for
both boilers and CISWI ERUs, the EPA should incorporate language in the
CEMS data definition similar to that which it proposed in the major
source and area source Boiler NESHAP rules. One commenter provided
mark-up language reflecting major source boiler language in the ``CEMS
data for startup and shutdown'' definition that would apply
specifically to CISWI ERUs, and a separate definition that could apply
to incinerators and small remote incinerators. For ERUs, the commenter
suggested the following definition, which eliminates the ``cold start''
and ``until waste is fed to the unit'' language, and adds the concept
of tying the CEMS data during startup period to the time that useful
thermal energy is generated.
The commenter suggested that CEMS data during startup and shutdown
should be defined as follows:
For energy recovery units: CEMS data collected during the first
hours of operation of a CISWI unit startup including the hours of
operation firing non-waste fuel and the hours following introduction of
waste to the unit until 4 hours after when the ERU makes useful thermal
energy (such as steam or heat) for heating, cooling, and process
purposes, or generates electricity, whichever is earlier, and the hours
of operation following the cessation of waste material being fed to the
CISWI unit during a unit shutdown. For each startup event, the length
of time that CEMS data may be claimed as being CEMS data during startup
must be 48 operating hours or less. For each shutdown event, the length
of time that CEMS data may be claimed as being CEMS data during
shutdown must be 24 operating hours or less.
As an alternative to the above definition, the commenter suggested
the definition could include the period of time up to 6 hours following
introduction of waste to the unit instead of tying the definition to
``useful thermal energy.'' The commenter noted that this might allow
the definition to be applicable to incinerators and small remote
incinerators.
Another commenter suggested that the first 48 hours of startup and
the last 24 hours of shutdown for incinerators, small remote
incinerators, and energy recovery units is adequate in most cases. This
commenter stated that any time the feed to a combustion chamber is
modified (e.g., new material added, same material with higher or lower
feed rates), the combustion process is disturbed. The commenter further
stated that the length of time it takes for the combustion process to
re-stabilize depends upon a number of factors (size of the combustion
unit, amount of waste introduced, the Btu content of the waste
introduced, the combustibility of that waste, the operating conditions,
etc.). Therefore, the commenter recommended that the CEMS data during
startup and shutdown are best decided on a site-specific basis and
urged the EPA to allow this as an option.
With respect to waste-burning kilns, one commenter argued that it
is highly beneficial to have the definitions of startup and shutdown
for kilns in the CISWI rule match the definitions in the Portland
Cement NESHAP. Therefore, the commenter supported having a separate
definition of CEMS data during startup and shutdown that applied to
waste-burning kilns, and that this
[[Page 40961]]
definition should also reflect provisions found in the Portland Cement
NESHAP. The commenter provided the following language as a suggestion
on what would be appropriate, and also suggested a corresponding
footnote to clarify that the 7 percent oxygen adjustment need not be
applied during periods of startup and shutdown:
``CEMS data during startup and shutdown means the following: (2)
For waste-burning kilns: CEMS data collected during the periods of kiln
operation that do not include normal operations. Startup means the time
from when a shutdown kiln first begins firing fuel until it begins
producing clinker. Startup begins when a shutdown kiln turns on the
induced draft fan and begins firing fuel in the main burner. Startup
ends when feed is being continuously introduced into the kiln for at
least 120 minutes or when the feed rate exceeds 60 percent of the kiln
design limitation rate, whichever occurs first. Shutdown means the
cessation of kiln operation. Shutdown begins when feed to the kiln is
halted and ends when continuous kiln rotation ceases.''
Response: Based on these comments and the EPA's goal to provide,
where appropriate, consistent regulatory provisions, the EPA has
determined to revise the definition of ``CEMS data during startup and
shutdown'' to be subcategory-specific. For ERUs and waste-burning
kilns, for example, the definition will reflect definitions similar to
those of the non-waste counterpart NESHAP to CISWI for the type of
source. Therefore, the final definition for ERUs will reflect
provisions found in the major source Boiler NESHAP, and the final
definition for waste-burning kilns will reflect provisions similar to
those in the Portland Cement NESHAP. For incinerators and small remote
incinerators, the proposed definition (i.e., from a cold start and up
to 48 hours for startup and 24 hours or less for shutdown) will still
apply. These subcategory-specific definitions provide a consistent
basis for ERUs and kilns that may change applicability periodically so
that owners and operators will have a consistent requirement for
demonstrating compliance regardless of the mode (waste or non-waste)
the unit is being operated in. Furthermore, for incinerators and small
remote incinerators, industry commenters are confident that the full
range of these sources will be able to maintain compliance with these
time allowances that were proposed.
We note that certain commenters indicate that reasons for changing
the definitions include that the units may have greater emissions
during startup and shutdown and also that pollution control equipment
may not be fully operational during startup. The EPA is not revising
the definitions to allow sources to violate the standard; instead the
change is designed to better reflect the actual operating conditions
during startup and shutdown. The oxygen correction is thus designed to
allow sources to use actual stack oxygen levels during these periods
instead of numbers corrected to 7 percent oxygen.\1\ If sources believe
that, even with the stack oxygen correction, emissions will exceed the
levels of the standard because of incomplete combustion or because air
pollution controls are not fully operational, they must take steps
(e.g., burn clean startup fuel for longer periods) to ensure
compliance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Stack oxygen data must still be measured during these
periods, but since a correction to stack oxygen essentially means
multiplying the measured concentration by 1, the concentration value
measured at stack oxygen is used to calculate average
concentrations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, the subcategory-specific definitions of ``CEMS data during
startup and shutdown'' in this final rule more clearly specify the
beginning and end of startup and shutdown periods for each subcategory
of CISWI unit. However, we realize in doing so that the previous,
separate definitions of ``startup period'' and ``shutdown'' that have
been held over from the 2000 CISWI rule may now cause confusion for
waste-burning kilns and ERUs especially. Because the 2000 CISWI rule
applied to incinerator units (and not ERUs and waste-burning kilns), we
recognize the need to clarify that the ``startup period'' and
``shutdown'' definitions apply only to incinerators and small, remote
incinerators. For this reason, the EPA is revising the definitions of
``startup period'' and ``shutdown'' to clarify that they are intended
to apply only to incinerators and small, remote incinerators.
Comment: One commenter argued that allowing sources to comply with
emissions standards based on uncorrected emissions measurements would
be unlawful and arbitrary. The commenter explained that the EPA does
not claim that all units will have oxygen levels close to the ambient
air, that any units' oxygen levels will actually be at the level of the
ambient air during these periods, or that any units' oxygen levels will
be at that high level consistently. The commenter suggested that the
EPA should instead consider several other approaches. First, the
commenter suggested that the EPA could require sources to show
compliance during these periods using another method, such as stack
tests. The commenter stated that the EPA recognized that CEMS are a
compliance alternative rather than a requirement for most CISWI
standards. The commenter also argued that the EPA stated it is
maintaining CEMS as a compliance alternative during these periods
because ``other air regulations and permit requirements may require''
CEMS data. However, the commenter argued that the EPA did not state
what these other requirements are, or why the same CEMS problems it has
identified here do not apply to them. The commenter further argued that
even if other regulatory requirements do require sources to maintain
CEMS data, that does not compel the EPA to accept their data as
demonstrative of compliance with the requirements of the performance
standards and emissions guidelines for air pollution from CISWI. The
commenter also suggested that, if the CEMS compliance alternative were
retained, the EPA could require sources to correct their measurements
to the level of oxygen actually present, as measured by an oxygen
analyzer or another method. Finally, the commenter offered as an
alternative that the EPA could develop mass-based limits instead of
concentration-based limits, which do not require oxygen correction. The
commenter concluded that, because the EPA has not even considered these
alternatives, the proposal to allow sources to show compliance based on
measurements it does not dispute will be inaccurate is arbitrary as
well as unlawful.
Response: As we noted in the proposed rule, the rules generally
require stack emissions testing. These tests can span several hours.
The CISWI rule emission limits were based on data obtained during
normal operations, which is also what the rule requires for conducting
performance testing (see 40 CFR 60.2125(a) and 40 CFR 60.2690(a)). As
has been noted in other comments and in the costing analyses presented
in support of the CISWI rulemaking, the emission testing program is not
trivial in cost and effort. Therefore, adding a requirement for
additional stack testing during startup and shutdown periods, which
seems to be what this commenter suggests, would further add to the
compliance cost of the rule for obtaining data for a small portion of
the source's operations. The EPA does not believe this additional
monitoring is required to assure compliance with the standards.
As noted before and by some commenters, monitoring by CEMS is an
alternative, and may be useful for sources that are required by permit
or for Acid Rain program requirements (40
[[Page 40962]]
CFR part 75) to continually monitor emissions of certain pollutants,
primarily NOX and SO2. The EPA realized that the
interaction of newly applicable CISWI standards to ERUs and waste-
burning kilns may differ from existing requirements for these sources
developed under the Acid Rain program, permit requirements enacted for
state or local conditions, or even under various consent decrees. The
EPA also recognizes that different programs measure and evaluate
emissions for various purposes and in differing formats (e.g., lb/
MMBtu), and therefore disagrees with the commenter's assertions that if
these other programs do not need these provisions, then neither should
CISWI. In fact, the EPA maintains that the reasons other programs may
not require separate definitions is because they already have separate
startup and shutdown requirements in place for the program. For
example, appendix F of 40 CFR part 75 allows sources to calculate a
NOX emission rate using a ``diluent cap'' during periods of
operation (startup and shutdown) where CO2 and O2
are near ambient air levels.\2\ As many commenters have noted, these
``CEMS data during startup and shutdown'' revisions being finalized are
necessary to make attainable the CISWI requirement for the standards to
``apply at all times'' for sources that are otherwise required to
measure emissions using CEMS or that opt to measure emissions
continually. Further, the EPA does acknowledge that there are
instances, such as this one, where consistent regulatory provisions
will make compliance demonstrations easier for affected sources and
implementing agencies while still maintaining the integrity and goals
of the regulation. That is the case here, where multiple programs may
require or allow CEMS data for continuous compliance demonstrations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See the ``2013 revision of the Part 75 Emissions Policy
Manual'' accessed August 18, 2015 at https://www.epa.gov/airmarkets/documents/monitoring/Final-Part75-Policy-Manual-2013-revised-08-27-13.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The commenter also suggested that either using CEMS data corrected
to stack oxygen or developing a mass-based standard should be
investigated. In essence, though, the revised provisions allow CEMS
data to be ``corrected to'' stack oxygen levels (that is, the numerator
and denominator of the oxygen correction are equal, so the correction
factor equals 1). Sources must still measure and record concentrations
and stack oxygen levels during these periods, and must keep records of
periods of CEMS data that are being claimed as periods of startup and
shutdown (See 40 CFR 60.2175(p) and 40 CFR 60.2740(o)). As many
commenters have already noted, the oxygen levels fluctuate widely
during startup and shutdown periods, so any basis other than using
stack oxygen levels for correction during this period would run into
the same type of calculation issue that we are attempting to remedy.
Similarly, a mass-based standard for CISWI units would be a significant
departure from the format of the existing standards, further
complicating compliance demonstrations by the facility and assessment
by the implementing agency. In order to develop a calculation-based
approach, the EPA would need to have information on the specific
materials being fed and resultant emissions for each of the best
performing units during startup and shutdown periods. These are data
that we do not have and the commenter did not provide any
recommendations on an approach that the EPA could consider absent these
data. In addition, the EPA did not reopen the specific standards or
form of the standards in the proposed rule, and we decline to establish
mass-based emission standards for that reason as well. We are not
revising the standards, but are revising only the monitoring provisions
of the standards to ensure that CEMS data collected are representative
of actual emissions during startup and shutdown periods and are not
being artificially inflated or influenced due to the 7 percent oxygen
correction. In the revisions, these intervals are clearly defined and
specific to the unit type to ensure this period is reasonable to ensure
safe operation while minimizing emissions.
B. PM Limit for the Waste-Burning Kiln Subcategory
Background: In the January 21, 2015, proposal, the EPA solicited
comments on the data set used to determine PM limits for new and
existing waste-burning kilns in the February 2013 final rule.
The March 2011 CISWI final rule promulgated PM emissions limits of
6.2 milligrams per dry standard cubic meter (mg/dscm) for existing
units, and 2.5 mg/dscm for new units, both corrected to 7 percent
oxygen. In an action parallel to the March 21, 2011, final CISWI rule,
the EPA promulgated a final rule that identifies the standards and
procedures for identifying whether non-hazardous secondary materials
(NHSM) are or are not solid waste when used as fuels or ingredients in
combustion units. The EPA defines the NHSM that are solid waste under
RCRA in the final ``Identification of Non-Hazardous Secondary Materials
That Are Solid Waste'' rulemaking. The RCRA definition of solid waste
is integral in defining the CISWI source category. Commercial and
industrial units that combust solid waste are subject to standards
issued pursuant to CAA section 129, rather than to standards issued
pursuant to CAA section 112 that would otherwise be applicable to such
units (e.g., boilers, process heaters and cement kilns). Cement kilns
combusting solid waste are waste-burning kilns subject to CISWI, not
the otherwise applicable Portland Cement NESHAP. Following promulgation
of the 2011 CISWI rule, the EPA again analyzed the materials being
combusted in the entire national inventory of Portland cement kilns in
light of the revisions to the NHSM rule, and made revisions to the
CISWI waste-burning kiln inventory. When kilns were added to the
inventory and their emissions data considered, the resulting NSPS and
EG PM emission limits proposed in the December 2011 reconsideration
were less stringent than those established in the March 2011 CISWI
final rule.
Following the December 2011 reconsideration proposal, the EPA
learned that one of the kilns in the CISWI inventory was no longer
burning waste, and another kiln that was not thought to be burning
waste materials was doing so. The CISWI waste-burning kiln inventory
was revised during the period between proposal and final to reflect
these changes, and the database updated to include emissions data for
the newly identified unit, as well as some additional test reports
obtained for units within the inventory. The EPA calculated the maximum
achievable control technology (MACT) floors after making the
appropriate revisions to the inventory and the new NSPS and EG PM
emission limits were more stringent than those proposed in the December
2011 reconsideration proposal. Table 1 of this preamble tracks the
progression of the waste-burning kiln PM limits from the March 2011
final rule through the February 2013 final rule.
Throughout the CISWI rulemaking process from March 2011 through
February 2013, the EPA used the same calculation methodology (i.e., the
upper prediction limit calculated from a population of individual test
runs) to establish the emission limits for waste-burning kilns.
However, the data set used in these calculations has changed and grown
over this period of time as the agency has revised the CISWI inventory
based on information submitted to the agency by the regulated
[[Page 40963]]
community and new data are submitted. As a result, a petitioner has
suggested that the current PM emission data set for waste-burning kilns
is robust enough to warrant using 3-run emission test averages as the
data population rather than the individual test runs. According to the
commenter, using this approach to calculate emission limits would
result in PM emission limits that are different than those of the
February 2013 CISWI final rule.
In the context of MACT analyses, as the EPA noted in the January
21, 2015 proposal, emission test averages or individual test run data
can be used to determine emissions variability of best performers. We
also noted that we typically use individual test runs, but for
categories with data from 15 \3\ or more sources, which would provide
at least 45 test runs, we may choose to use test averages. In these
larger data sets, the use of test averages are likely to be
sufficiently representative of long term performance and variability
without the need for use of the individual test runs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ The 15 test average number discussed in the January 21, 2015
proposal was not a ``bright line'' value used to establish a
possible threshold for when test runs versus test averages may be
selected. Rather, this number was an illustrative number that was
being discussed as an example in internal EPA discussions at the
time the proposal was being written.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the January 21, 2015 proposal, the EPA solicited comment on the
data set used in the February 2013 final rule, as well as whether this
data set warrants a different calculation approach due to its size or
other factors. See the memoranda titled ``Potential Emission Limits
Calculation Analyses for Waste-burning Kilns and Coal ERUs,''
``Approach for Applying the Upper Prediction Limit to Limited Data
Sets,'' and ``Use of the Upper Prediction Limit for Calculating MACT
Floors'' in the CISWI docket for more details.
Comment: Two commenters supported the use of emission test averages
to determine emission standards. One commenter strongly believed that
use of test averages is the only valid way to conduct calculations of
upper predictive limit (UPL) or other variability analyses because only
test averages, and not individual test runs, are statistically
independent from one another, as the UPL calculation requires. Both
commenters argued that it is crucial that the UPL calculation reflect
the actual variability of compliance test results for the best
performing kilns that set the floors, and stated that this goal is best
accomplished by using stack test results (which are the average of
three consecutive test runs) in the UPL calculation, rather than using
test runs as individual data points. One commenter noted that the data
set for PM emissions from waste-burning kilns is among the largest for
any source category or pollutant in the CISWI rule, consisting of 24
stack tests (equivalent to 72 individual test runs) for the pool of
three best performers.
One commenter described control measures that Portland Cement
NESHAP and waste-burning kilns will need to take to meet the 13.5 mg/
dscm limit for existing waste-burning kilns that was discussed, noting
that baghouse equipment will still need to be improved at many kilns to
meet this limit. The commenter also pointed out that the performance of
a baghouse on a kiln is comparable whether it is a Portland Cement
NESHAP kiln or a CISWI kiln. The commenter went on to use this
discussion and data from the Portland Cement NESHAP analyses to support
the 13.5 mg/dscm limit (which equates to 0.075 lb/ton clinker on a
production basis, as compared to the existing kiln PM limit of 0.07 lb/
ton clinker in the Portland Cement NESHAP) and to demonstrate that the
current beyond-the-floor analysis done for the 2013 CISWI final rule is
still applicable despite the new PM emission limit.
Response: We agree that the data set for PM for existing waste-
burning kilns is sufficiently large to support using stack test
averages, as some commenters have supported. For new sources, the EPA
realizes that there is a smaller number of data points available when
test averages are considered since only the data from the best-
performing source are included in the calculation.\4\ However, as the
EPA has intended within each of the CISWI subcategories, a consistent
approach to the emission limit calculation is used for existing and new
sources within a subcategory (e.g., upper limit for small remote, UPL
for waste-burning kilns). That is, in the case of PM for waste-burning
kilns, the UPL using test averages is being used to calculate both
existing and new source emission limits.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ Although this data set is smaller than that for existing
sources, the EPA does not consider the new source data set to be a
small or limited data set.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We also note that, for this particular data set, there are distinct
advantages to using this approach. One advantage is that there is a
significant amount of test data for the best-performing source. These
runs reflect various fuel and waste material firing conditions for the
best-performing unit. By splitting the data for the best-performing
source into sets of three according to the operational condition (waste
or non-waste), each of the resulting averages is more representative of
the fuel, waste, and operational variability demonstrated by the other
3-run test averages found in the data set for this source and for the
other existing source best performers. In other words, the time
periods--and variability in process inputs and operations these periods
represent--are approximately equal for each data point in the average
data set for existing and new sources. This approach also has the added
benefit of a slightly larger time period of operations being
represented by the data, since there is one additional average that can
be included in the data pool (i.e., no test run data are available, but
the average is).
We also reviewed the information submitted by the commenters on the
costs and emission improvement requirements existing kilns will need to
undertake to meet the revised emission limits, as well as our own
assessment of control improvements needed, and agree with the
assessment that beyond-the-floor emission standards for waste-burning
kiln PM limits are unwarranted. In our analysis, the same kilns that
would need improvements for the 2013 PM limits still need to add these
improvements to meet the 13.5 mg/dscm standards (as well as the CISWI
limits for Cd and Pb, which are not being revised but are also
controlled by PM control devices). The technology most likely being
used to meet the standards would be fabric filters (baghouses), which
is a physical control technology. Information supplied by the industry
indicate that many cement kilns will require highly efficient fabric
filters to meet the 13.5 mg/dscm standards. Fabric filters do not have
a variable component, such as sorbent injection rates, that can be
varied easily once the system is designed and the filter media
specified. Therefore, unlike other control technologies, the PM removal
efficiency of fabric filters does not depend on other factors in the
process and control device's performance will essentially be the same
regardless of other process inputs. Therefore, the EPA is finalizing
the 13.5 mg/dscm and 4.9 mg/dscm emission limits discussed at proposal
for existing and new waste-burning kilns, respectively, based on the
analysis of emission test average data.
The calculated PM emission limits using the test averages are
presented in Table 1 of this preamble for comparison. The calculations
used to support the 2015 emission limit values, analyses of impacts and
discussion of beyond-the-floor considerations are available in the
``Revised Emission Limits and Impacts Analyses for Waste-burning Kilns
and

Comment: One commenter disagreed with the proposed approach of
using stack test average data, arguing that because the EPA's standards
are already set at the floor, and the floor is the minimum stringency
permitted by the CAA, the EPA's proposed change is unlawful at Chevron
step one.\5\ The commenter further argued that the EPA does not give
any statutory reasons for its proposed change, and therefore its
proposal is unreasonable at Chevron step two. NRDC v. EPA, No. 12-1321,
slip op. at 23 (D.C. Cir. Dec. 23, 2014) (``EPA must `ground its
reasons for action or inaction in the statute.' '') (quoting Util. Air
Regulatory Grp. v. EPA, 134 S. Ct. 2427, 2441 (2014)). The commenter
contended that the only reason the EPA gives in support of this change
is that the data set for kilns is relatively large and so switching to
test averages instead of individual test runs ``is expected to make
very little difference.'' The commenter concluded that the EPA's
proposed change illustrates that the UPL approach is unlawful and
arbitrary because it does not yield reasonable estimates of the
``average emission limitation achieved'' by the best performing units.
An industry commenter asserted that the stack test averages yield
reasonable estimates of the average emission limitation achieved by the
best performing units, and referred to their original comment submittal
to the proposed rule as support. The commenter then repeated that the
EPA should use stack test averages in the UPL calculation whenever
there are sufficient data to support their use. The commenter concluded
that the use of test runs can be justified only when the limited
availability of emissions data demands the use of test runs; this is
not the case in the CISWI PM limit for kilns.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ Chevron U.S.A. v. NRDC, 467 U.S. 837 (1984).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Response: As discussed earlier, the EPA incorporated considerable
new data and moved kilns from the NESHAP to CISWI between the proposed
and final CISWI reconsideration concluded in 2013. The inclusion of
additional sources and data lead to more stringent standards and the
public was not provided an opportunity to comment on those limits and
the manner of their calclulation. For this reason, parties petitioned
EPA to reconsider those limits consistent with CAA section
307(d)(7)(B), and the EPA granted reconsideration consistent with the
statute to provide the public an opportunity to comment. The EPA
maintains that its actions in response to the changed circumstances
(i.e., new data and sources) and the petitions for reconsideration are
consistent with the statute and, for this reason, we reject the
commenter's argument that EPA has somehow violated the standard setting
provisions of section 112.
Further, we have determined that the data set for existing waste-
burning kilns for PM is sufficient to address longer-term performance
and variability among the best-performing sources and justifies the use
of test average data. While the data set for new waste-burning kilns is
smaller in count than that of the existing sources, it is not
considered a small data set, and the EPA has concerns about not
treating variability consistently between existing and new source
emission limits within the same subcategory.
With respect to the commenter's arguments about the UPL calculation
methodology, the EPA did not open the UPL calculation methodology for
reconsideration, so we are not responding to the commenter's arguments
on this issue.
C. FVF for Coal-Burning Energy Recovery Units
Background: In the January 21, 2015, proposal, the EPA requested
comments and supporting data regarding the need to establish an FVF for
the ERU solids (coal) subcategory. In particular, the EPA requested
comments on using stack test data from coal-only periods of operation
in our emission limit calculations, and whether the EPA should re-
evaluate the NOX emission limit by using the additional CEMS
data provided for the best-performing unit. The preamble to the 2013
final CISWI rule (78 FR 9112, February 7, 2013) explained the
methodology used to establish the final emission limits, which relied
almost exclusively on direct emissions measurements. A petitioner
requested that EPA reconsider the decision not to incorporate fuel
variability into the emission limit calculations for coal-fired ERUs
based on new information.
Table 2 of this preamble presents a comparison of the 2013 final
rule emission limits for existing coal ERUs and the emission limits
calculated using all data available (i.e., waste and coal-only modes of
operation), FVF calculation techniques, and the additional CEMS data
provided by the petitioner.

0.047 mg/dscm.
Comment: Several commenters supported the revision of these
emission limits, claiming that the EPA should account for all sources
of emissions variability. Commenters argued that adjustments for fuel
variability should be based on worst case conditions so that the floors
represent the emission limitations that the best performers can achieve
under the worst foreseeable circumstances. They maintained that
emissions test data only reflect the pollutant content of a unit's
inputs at the time of emissions testing, noting that fuel and solid
waste composition vary over time. As an example, commenters referenced
HCl data submitted for the top performer, noting that if the HCl limit
for existing units remains at 13 ppmv (from the 2013 final CISWI rule),
the best performing unit would fail to meet the limit consistently. The
commenters further expressed their support for basing the FVF on the
maximum ratio of non-paired fuel data with paired fuel data (yielding a
limit of 58 ppmv) as opposed to the average ratio (yielding a limit of
19 ppmv), because the HCl data showed the average-based limit was also
exceeded several times over an 8-year period. In order to make the HCl
limit achievable in practice, the commenters concluded that the EPA
must set the final HCl limit to 58 ppmv.
One commenter pointed out that the consideration of fuel
variability is of particular importance because a CISWI unit remains a
CISWI unit until it ceases to burn waste for at least 6 months. The
commenter explained that estimating emission levels achieved when a
unit was burning waste and coal does not reflect the level achieved
when combusting only coal. Commenters also called attention to the
boiler and process heater standards, which account for fuel supply
variability, and contended that the EPA should do the same for CIWSI
because ERUs would be subject to the boiler standards if they did not
combust waste in addition to fossil fuels.
One commenter indicated that the EPA had not properly addressed
fuel variability for the SO2 emission limit. According to
the commenter, previously submitted data showed that the 2013 final
limit of 650 ppmvd would not be high enough to allow the top performer
to comply every day under all operating conditions. In developing the
potential limits presented in the proposed reconsideration, the EPA did
not develop a FVF for SO2 because only one fuel data point
for sulfur was available to be paired with SO2 emissions
data. The commenter explained that even though only one date from the
fuel data matched up with the week of SO2 CEMS data, the lag
time between the fuel sample date and actual combustion in the boiler
is typically 4-9 days, so portions of both the August 14 and August 21,
2009, coal shipments would have been burned during the CEMS period from
August 23 through August 30, 2009. Therefore, the commenter explained,
sulfur data from these two shipments could be paired with the CEMS
data, which would make it appropriate to develop a FVF for
SO2, similar to what was done for HCl.
Response: The EPA is finalizing the emission limits for Cd, HCl,
Hg, Pb, PM, and NOX that incorporate a FVF and coal-only
mode of operation data and were discussed in the January 21, 2015
proposal. See 80 FR at 3023. In addition, the EPA has determined that
we have sufficient data to incorporate a FVF into the SO2
limit in the same manner as the standards for the other section 129
pollutants above.
At proposal, the agency explained our rationale for considering
emission limits that incorporate a FVF for fuel-dependent pollutants
(i.e., HCl, Pb, Cd, Hg, and SO2) [See 80 FR at 3022] and
presented the methodology [See Memo titled ``Potential Emission Limits
Calculations Analyses for Waste-burning Kilns and Coal ERUs, December
12, 2014] we would use to do so. We also presented the available data.
In addition, for Cd, HCl, Hg, Pb, PM and NOX, the EPA
identified the emission limits that incorporate a FVF and were derived
from that data and using the proposed methodology. The proposal did not
identify a specific SO2 emission limit that incorporated a
FVF because, as explained in the proposal, at that time, the EPA did
not believe the data from the best performing units included the
information necessary to calculate a FVF for SO2. See 80 FR
at 3022; see also Memo titled ``Potential Emission Limits Calculations
Analyses for Waste-burning Kilns and Coal ERUs, December 12, 2014. The
proposal, however, made clear that the rationale for deciding to
incorporate a FVF into the emission limits for coal-fired ERUs applied
to all fuel-dependent pollutants, including SO2, and the
agency provided the methodology for incorporated a FVF. The comments
received demonstrated that the available SO2 data from the
best performing units--the data in the docket at the time of proposal--
does in fact include the information required to establish a fuel
variability factor. Specifically, the EPA confirms that the data set
includes sufficient paired SO2 data to evaluate the need for
a FVF. Thus, all information necessary to address whether a FVF should
be incorporated into the SO2 standard, and to identify the
specific SO2 emission limit incorporating a FVF was
available in the docket at the time of proposal. Thus, in this final
rule, the EPA has re-evaluated the fuel sulfur data with paired
SO2 data and is incorporating a FVF in the floor
calculations for SO2 using the same methodology that was
discussed in the proposal. The resulting SO2 limit for
existing and new coal ERUs is 850 ppmvd.
[[Page 40966]]
Comment: One commenter did not support the incorporation of FVFs in
determining emission limits, arguing that increasing the floors to
account for variability would be unlawful and arbitrary because the UPL
methodology used to develop the floors already accounts for emissions
variability. According to the commenter, the floors should not be
increased further because CAA section 129 directs that standards should
be no less stringent than the average emissions achieved by the best
performing units. In other words, the commenter explained, a standard
must reflect a reasonable estimate of the actual performance of the
best units.
The commenter further noted that even if it were lawful to
incorporate a FVF at all, the FVF should be based on the average ratio,
as opposed to the maximum ratio, because the maximum ratio does not
yield a reasonable estimate of the average emissions limitation
achieved by the best performing sources, yielding floors less stringent
than the statute permits.
Response: The EPA disagrees with the argument that incorporating a
FVF in these standards overaccounts for variability. Fuel data provided
for the top performing units show that performance for coal-burning
ERUs, based solely on the short-term stack test data available for
these units, does not adequately reflect the sustained performance and
different fuel inputs that are used by the best performing source upon
which the standards were based. As stated in response to similar
comments submitted on the Boiler NESHAP (See EPA-HQ-OAR-2002-0058-3511,
excerpt 15, page 111), and consistent with the DC Circuit Court ruling,
the EPA is mindful that MACT floors need to reflect achieved
performance of the best-performing units, that HAP (or pollutant, for
CAA section 129 rules such as CISWI) content of process inputs (raw
materials and fuels) should be accounted for in ascertaining the
sources' performance as necessary, and that the EPA cannot consider
costs in ascertaining the level of the MACT floor. See, e.g., Brick
MACT, 479 F. 3d at 880-81, 882-83; NRDC v. EPA, 489 F. 3d 1364, 1376
(D.C. Cir. 2007) (``Plywood MACT''); see also Cement Kiln Recycling
Coalition v. EPA, 255 F. 3d 855, 861-62 (D.C. Cir. 2001)
(``achievability'' requirement of CAA section 112 (d)(2) cannot
override the requirement that floors be calculated on the basis of what
best performers actually achieved). The EPA is also mindful of the need
to account for sources' variability (both due to control device
performance and variability in inputs) in assessing sources'
performance when developing technology-based standards. See, e.g.,
Mossville Environmental Action Now v. EPA, 370 F. 3d 1232, 1242 (D.C.
Cir. 2004); National Lime I, 627 F. 2d 416, 433-34 (D.C. Cir. 1980). In
most cases, the UPL sufficiently accounts for both control device
performance and input variability. However, in this case, a review of
the data for the best-performing coal-burning ERUs indicated that
short-term stack test data alone did not fully account for longer term
emissions performance in this case. While fuels combusted within a
short term 3-hour test would be expected to be fairly consistent in
their contaminant levels, multi-year fuel input data for the best-
performing unit show that Hg, Cl, Pb, and sulfur levels can vary
significantly between the times the best performing unit is combusting
a combination of waste and traditional fuel and the times it is
combusting traditional fuels alone, and that there is variability in
the pollutant content of the traditional fuel alone as well. In light
of this, the EPA believes it is reasonable to incorporate a FVF for
this subcategory of CISWI units to better reflect the performance of
the best performing coal-burning ERUs.
Regarding the commenter's assertions that the average ratio should
be used instead of the maximum ratio in calculating the FVF, we note
that, unlike situations present in the Boiler NESHAP, the best-
performing units in the coal ERU subcategory (all located at the same
facility) are not burning a variety of fuels. These CISWI ERU units
burn coal, and periodically an industrial waste generated at the
facility. Therefore, there is one fuel and one waste that is input that
will influence emissions. This is not the case for the boiler best-
performers in the Boiler NESHAP solid fuel subcategory, as these
consisted of a ``mix of biomass, coal and other solid fossil fuel''
data (See EPA-HQ-OAR-2002-0058-3836, August 2012). In the boiler
rulemaking, the EPA was concerned that this heterogeneous mix of best
performer fuel inputs and the use of the maximum ratio would
overestimate fuel variability. However, for the CISWI coal ERUs, we are
dealing with a single fuel type (coal), and the same concern does not
apply. Since CISWI applicability extends for a period beyond the waste-
combustion periods, variability in this one fuel influences emissions
for a significant portion of the best-performers' operations.
Therefore, we have determined that the maximum ratio is appropriate in
this case to fully account for the best-performer's variability in fuel
inputs.
The FVF accounts for fuel variability between sources using long-
term fuel measurement data that represent inherent natural variations
in fuel usage at the best performing unit over time. The FVF is used in
conjunction with the 99 percent UPL to characterize long-term
variability due to technological controls and fuel characteristics. The
results are MACT floors that reasonably estimate the performance over
time of the best performing sources (there are three identical units at
one facility that are best performers for this subcategory of unit,
with only one additional unit that may be in this subcategory). These
calculations are described in more detail in the ``Revised Emission
Limits and Impacts Analyses for Waste-burning Kilns and Coal ERUs''
memorandum found in the docket to this rulemaking.
For these reasons, the EPA is adopting the revised emission limits
for coal ERUs discussed in the January 21, 2015, proposal, and the
agency is also incorporating a FVF into the SO2 limit as
discussed above.
D. Definition of ``Kiln''
Background: In the January 21, 2015, notice, the EPA requested
comment on its proposal to revise the definition of ``kiln'' and
proposal to add definitions of ``in-line raw mill'' and ``in-line coal
mill'' to further clarify the boundaries of the waste-burning kiln.
Because the in-line raw mill and in-line coal mill are part of the
kiln, the kiln emission limits also apply to the exhaust of the in-line
raw mill and in-line coal mill. For more background on this issue, the
EPA discussed at length in the preamble to the proposed Portland Cement
NESHAP a potential regulatory regime to cover situations where a
portion of the kiln exhaust is ducted to the coal mill. See 77 FR
42383-85; see also the regulatory text at 77 FR 42398, 42402-06, 42408-
09.
For waste-burning kilns, the EPA proposed language in the
definition of ``kiln'' to make it consistent with that of the Portland
Cement NESHAP. The terms ``in-line raw mill'' and ``in-line coal mill''
were proposed to be included in the definition, and, therefore, were
proposed to be added to the definitions within the CISWI rule.
In addition to the proposed definitional amendments in the January
21, 2015, notice, the EPA proposed a compliance demonstration and
ongoing monitoring method for waste-burning kilns that combine emission
streams from the in-line raw mill and in-line coal mill and exhaust
through multiple stacks. The EPA is finalizing the proposed approach
with some minor revisions to address comments as
[[Page 40967]]
discussed below. The final rule will allow sources to measure pollutant
concentrations and flows from each of the stacks (i.e., kiln, alkali
bypass, and in-line coal mill, as applicable) and calculate a flow-
weighted average kiln stack concentration that must be met in order to
be in compliance with the CISWI waste-burning kiln emission limits.
These provisions are modeled upon similar provisions and equations
found in the Portland Cement NESHAP, and should streamline compliance
demonstrations for waste-burning kilns that combine streams prior to
discharge to the atmosphere through one or more stacks. The proposed
calculation method and measurement location options are found in 40 CFR
60.2145 and 40 CFR 60.2710. The EPA requested comment on the
definitional and calculation method changes for demonstrating
compliance for waste-burning kilns that combine streams prior to
discharge to the atmosphere through one or more stacks.
Comment: Although there were no specific comments on the revised
definition of ``kiln'' or on the addition of the definitions of ``in-
line raw mill'' and ``in-line coal mill,'' one commenter expressed the
need to change monitoring and compliance requirements for alkali bypass
and/or in-line coal mill to be consistent with the Portland Cement
NESHAP. The commenter contended the use of CEMS and the PM CPMS for
either an alkali bypass or an in-line coal mill is unnecessary, as they
represent a relatively minor part of the overall kiln emissions and
their emissions will vary directionally with the main kiln stack
concentrations. Therefore, the commenter suggested that monitoring the
main kiln stack alone can provide an indication of overall emissions
and compliance. The commenter stated that the appropriate monitoring
and compliance requirements have already been addressed in the Portland
Cement NESHAP rule and requested that the EPA adopt a similar approach
for the CISWI standards. The commenter also suggested that the EPA
clarify the level of testing and monitoring that applies to either an
alkali by-pass or an in-line coal mill.
Response: To provide additional consistency between CISWI and the
Portland Cement NESHAP, the EPA is adding clarifying language in the
final rule that makes the monitoring requirements for waste-burning
kilns consistent with those in the Portland Cement NESHAP.
Specifically, we are not requiring that CEMS or PM CPMS need to be
installed on separate alkali bypass or in-line coal mill stacks.
Instead, as is the case with the Portland Cement NESHAP, the results of
the initial and subsequent performance test for the alkali bypass and
in-line coal mill stacks can be used to determine the combined
emissions to demonstrate compliance with the relevant emissions limit.
However, unlike the Portland Cement NESHAP, the performance test must
be conducted on an annual basis (between 11 and 13 calendar months
following the previous performance test) to keep the testing schedule
for these stacks consistent with the CISWI rule's annual performance
testing requirements.
V. Technical Corrections and Clarifications
In the January 21, 2015, notice, the EPA proposed to correct minor
typographical errors and clarify provisions of the final rule that may
have been unclear. The EPA is finalizing these corrections, which are
summarized in this section of the preamble. There were some comments
received on these clarifications. These comments, and responses to
them, are found in the ``2013 CISWI Rule Reconsideration Response to
Comments.''
A. 2000 CISWI New Source Applicability Clarification for Incinerators
and Air Curtain Incinerators
Following promulgation of the February 2013 CISWI final rule, the
EPA received questions regarding the continued applicability of the
2000 CISWI NSPS for units that are subject to the 2000 CISWI NSPS as
they are transitioned from the 2000 NSPS to the February 2013 EG with
which they will eventually be required to comply. The 2000 CISWI NSPS
are the same as the 2000 CISWI EG and limited in applicability to the
incinerator subcategory and air curtain incinerators so only these
types of CISWI units being regulated in the February 2013 CISWI final
rules are affected by this applicability issue. The EPA intended,
consistent with the statute and our stated intent (see 76 FR 15711,
March 21, 2011), to continue to regulate these units as ``new'' sources
under the 2000 NSPS, and then regulate them as ``existing'' sources
under the 2013 EG once these units were covered under an approved state
plan or federal plan that implements the February 2013 CISWI final EG.
The language in the February 7, 2013, NSPS at 40 CFR 60.2105 and the
title of Table 1 to 40 CFR part 60, subpart CCCC make the EPA's intent
to do so evident. However, the applicability section in 40 CFR 60.2015
omitted the applicability provisions for incinerators and air curtain
incinerators that are subject to the 2000 CISWI NSPS. In this final
rule, the EPA is finalizing proposed additional language in 40 CFR
60.2015(a) and 40 CFR 60.2105(b) that clarifies that these incinerators
and air curtain incinerators remain ``new'' units regulated under the
2000 NSPS until such time that an approved state plan or federal plan
implements the February 2013 EG for those units, at which time such
units will be subject to the 2013 EG to the extent those limits are
more stringent than the 2000 CISWI NSPS limits, which will continue to
apply if they are more stringent.
B. Typographical Errors and Corrections
The following items are typographical errors in the final rule that
we are correcting in this final action:

(i)(2)(i)(C) . . .''.
Two references in the definitions of terms for Equation 3
in 40 CFR 60.2110(i)(2)(iv) were revised. For the `z' term, ``(2)(a)''

also clarify the output signals from digital monitoring devices and
remove ``lb/Mmbtu'' typographical errors.
The reference in 40 CFR 60.2165(q)(1) was changed from
``Sec. 60.2675'' to ``Sec. 60.2140''.
Text in 40 CFR 60.2165(q)(3) was corrected from ``. .

from the 2000 CISWI rule were omitted in the current CFR version of the
rule, and have been reinserted.
Added text in 40 CFR 60.2525(b) and 60.2535(b) to clarify
applicability for incinerators and air curtain incinerators that were
reconstructed or modified on or after June 1, 2001, but no later than
August 7, 2013.
Revised the language of 40 CFR 60.2550(b) to reflect the
August 7, 2013 date for purposes of applicability with 40 CFR part 60,

annual average heat input rates'' was added to 40 CFR 60.2730(m) for
clarification and consistency.
The definition of chemical recovery unit in 40 CFR 60.2265
was revised to be consistent with the definition provided in 40 CFR
60.2875. The following text was added: ``A chemical recovery unit is
not an incinerator, a waste-burning kiln, an energy recovery unit or a
small, remote incinerator under this subpart.''
Clarifying language was added to the HCl row of 40 CFR
part 60, subpart DDDD Table 8. Compliance method text was changed from
``. . . if a wet scrubber is not used'' to ``. . . if a wet scrubber or
dry scrubber is not used.''
Text in 40 CFR 60.2165(o) was corrected from ``. . . you
must use a continuous automated sampling system . . .'' to ``. . . you
may substitute use of a continuous automated sampling system for the
carbon monoxide annual performance test.''
Revise the definition of ``Oxygen trim system'' to include
draft controller and to clarify that it is a system that maintains the
desired excess air level over the operating load range.
Revise the definition of ``Reconstruction'' in both
subparts to reflect the correct criterion that reconstruction begins on
or after August 7, 2013.
Renumbered equations in 40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD to be
in sequence within the subpart instead of being a continuation with 40
CFR part 60, subpart CCCC.
Revised paragraphs 40 CFR 60.2030(c), 60.2210(h),
60.2220(d), 60.2235, 60.2770(h), 60.2780(d) and 60.2795 to reflect the
most recent electronic reporting guidance available and to further
clarify reporting requirements.
Revised paragraphs 40 CFR 60.2145(j)(1) and 60.2710(j)(1)
to reflect the most recent guidance available for HCl CEMS installed
and certified in accordance to Performance Specification 15 or
Performance Specification 18.
Table footnotes were converted from alphabetical to
numeric format.
Deleted inadvertent footnote references to the following:
Dioxin/furan TEQ and TMB rows of 40 CFR part 60, subpart CCCC Table 8;
Dioxin/furan TMB row and Pb row of 40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD Table
7; Dioxin/furan row of 40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD Table 8; and
dioxin/furan row of 40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD Table 9.
C. Clarifications
Since publication of the February 7, 2013, final CISWI rule, the
EPA has received stakeholder questions and requests for clarification
on certain rule provisions. We are not finalizing any regulatory
language changes for the following items, but are providing some
clarification to these questions. Furthermore, comments received on
these clarifications and responses to these comments are found in the
``Response to Comments on the 2015 CISWI Reconsideration'' document
found in the docket:
Mass balance as operating limits for units without certain
control devices--A stakeholder has asked for clarification on whether a
mass balance could be used as an operating parameter, and whether this
must be measured as a 30-day rolling average instead of taking a
monthly sample. Furthermore, the stakeholder also asked whether the
material balance allows them to waive annual stack testing. The EPA
clarifies that mass balance operating parameters do not replace annual
stack testing. Stack testing and operating parameters work in tandem to
ensure ongoing compliance with the standards. We do, however, accept
that mass balance could be an allowable operating parameter in cases
where no control device is needed to meet the pollutant's specific
emission limit applicable to the unit, provided the petition for the
operating parameter limits meets the requirements specified in 40 CFR
60.2115 and 40 CFR 60.2680. We also point out that these requirements
also allow any source to request a different averaging time that is
appropriate for the source and operating parameter.
Clarification on who the ``EPA Administrator'' is and whom
to contact for requests for averaging times, qualifying facility
notifications, etc. We have received questions on how to contact the
Administrator to submit notifications, reports and requests. The
contact information is given in the General Provisions, under 40 CFR
60.4, and has addresses listed by EPA Regional Offices.
VI. Environmental, Energy and Economic Impacts
This action finalizes the proposed provisions and makes technical
and clarifying corrections, but does not cause substantive changes to
the impacts on the environment, energy generation and usage, and
economic factors for affected sources from the February 7, 2013, final
CISWI rule (78 FR 9112). The number of sources requiring improved
emission control performance is the same as estimated in the final 2013
rule. While the emission limits have been relaxed slightly for PM in
the waste-burning kilns, the assumed controls required to meet the
final standards are still the same as those estimated for the final
2013 rule. That is, waste-burning kilns that would require additional
controls to meet the final 2013 rule's PM and metals emission limits
will still require those control improvements to meet the limits being
finalized in this action. The main
[[Page 40969]]
difference is an increased margin of compliance for these units, as
well as a PM limit that is very consistent with the non-waste burning
(Portland Cement NESHAP) PM emission limits, thereby streamlining
compliance. For the coal-fired ERU subcategory, certain emission limits
are relaxed while others have been made more stringent. The net result
in emissions reductions are negligible, however, and there are no
changes in the control cost estimates for units in this subcategory. As
with the waste-burning kilns, the main difference for the coal ERUs is
that there is a somewhat greater margin of compliance available in the
standards being finalized, and thus, ensuring that the best performing
units may be able to demonstrate sustained compliance with the MACT
standards in multiple modes of operation (waste and non-waste modes).
Taken together, the revised emission limits being finalized in this
action could result in allowable emission estimates, primarily in PM,
that are greater than those assumed for the 2013 final rule by about
297 tpy. In other words, there could potentially be 297 fewer tpy of PM
emission reductions as a result of this final rule when compared to the
2013 final rule's estimated emission reductions. We have estimated
these emission impacts in the memorandum ``Revised Emission Limits and
Impacts Analyses for Waste-burning Kilns and Coal ERUs'' available in
the docket. We have not revised the regulatory impacts assessment
prepared for the 2013 final rule since the expected emissions control
costs are unchanged and the change in estimated emission reductions are
relatively minor when compared to the 34,771 tpy overall emission
reductions estimated for the February 7, 2013, final rule (See 78 FR
9132).
VII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Additional information about these statues and Executive Orders can
be found at https://www2.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review
This action is not a significant regulatory action and was,
therefore, not submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for review.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
This action does not impose any new information collection burden
under the PRA. OMB has previously approved the information collection
activities contained in the existing regulations (40 CFR part 60,
subpart CCCC and 40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD) and has assigned OMB
control number 2060-0664 for subpart CCCC and OMB control number 2060-
0662 for subpart DDDD. This action is believed to result in no changes
to the information collection requirements of the February 2013 final
CISWI rule, so that the information collection estimate of project cost
and hour burden from the final CISWI rule have not been revised.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
I certify that this action will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. In
making this determination, the impact of concern is any significant
adverse economic impact on small entities. An agency may certify that a
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities if the rule relieves regulatory burden, has no
net burden, or otherwise has a positive economic effect on the small
entities subject to the rule. This final rule will not impose any new
requirements on any entities because it does not impose any additional
regulatory requirements relative to those specified in the February
2013 final CISWI rule. The February 2013 final CISWI rule was certified
as not having a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. We have therefore concluded that this action will have
no net regulatory burden for all directly regulated small entities.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)
This action does not contain an unfunded mandate of $100 million or
more as described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not
significantly affect small governments. The action imposes no
enforceable duty on any state, local, or tribal governments or the
private sector.
E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have
substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship between
the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments
This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in
Executive Order 13175. The EPA is not aware of any CISWI in Indian
country or owned or operated by Indian tribal governments. The CISWI
aspects of this rule may, however, invoke minor indirect tribal
implications to the extent that entities generating solid wastes on
tribal lands could be affected. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not
apply to this action.
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks
The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying to those
regulatory actions that concern environmental health or safety risks
that the EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect
children, per the definition of ``covered regulatory action'' in
section 2-202 of the Executive Order. This action is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 because it does not concern an environmental
health risk or safety risk.
H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 because it is
not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.
I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) and 1 CFR
Part 51
This action does not involve technical standards.
This action is not finalizing any new incorporation by reference
material, so therefore this action is not making any amendments to the
incorporations by reference found in 40 CFR 60.17. The incorporation by
reference of this document was already approved by the Director of the
Federal Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51
for Sec. 60.14, effective February 7, 2013. The EPA has made, and will
continue to make, these documents generally available electronically
through www.regulations.gov and/or in hard copy at the appropriate EPA
office (see the ADDRESSES section of this preamble for more
information).
[[Page 40970]]
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations
The EPA believes the human health or environmental risk addressed
by this action will not have potential disproportionately high and
adverse human health or environmental effects on minority, low-income,
or indigenous populations. It does not affect the level of protection
provided to human health or the environment. The final CISWI rule will
reduce emissions of all the listed toxics emitted from this source,
thereby helping to further ensure against any disproportionately high
and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority, low-
income, or indigenous populations.
K. Congressional Review Act (CRA)
This action is subject to the CRA, and the EPA will submit a rule
report to House of Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).

Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units
Introduction
Sec. 60.2000 What does this subpart do?
This subpart establishes new source performance standards for
commercial and industrial solid waste incineration (CISWI) units.
Sec. 60.2005 When does this subpart become effective?
This subpart takes effect on August 7, 2013. Some of the
requirements in this subpart apply to planning the CISWI unit (i.e.,
the preconstruction requirements in Sec. Sec. 60.2045 and 60.2050).
Other requirements such as the emission limitations and operating
limits apply after the CISWI unit begins operation.
Applicability
Sec. 60.2010 Does this subpart apply to my incineration unit?
Yes, if your incineration unit meets all the requirements specified
in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this section:
(a) Your incineration unit is a new incineration unit as defined in
Sec. 60.2015;
(b) Your incineration unit is a CISWI unit as defined in Sec.
60.2265; and
(c) Your incineration unit is not exempt under Sec. 60.2020.
Sec. 60.2015 What is a new incineration unit?
(a) A new incineration unit is an incineration unit that meets any
of the criteria specified in paragraphs (a)(1) through (3) of this
section:

(2) A CISWI unit that commenced reconstruction or modification
after August 7, 2013; and
(3) Incinerators and air curtain incinerators, as defined in this
subpart, that commenced construction after November 30, 1999, but no
later than June 4, 2010, or that commenced reconstruction or
modification on or after June 1, 2001, but no later than August 7,
2013, are considered new incineration units and remain subject to the
applicable requirements of this subpart until the units become subject
to the requirements of an approved state plan or federal plan that
implements subpart DDDD of this part (Emission Guidelines and
Compliance Times for Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration
Units).
(b) This subpart does not affect your CISWI unit if you make
physical or operational changes to your incineration unit primarily to
comply with subpart DDDD of this part (Emission Guidelines and
Compliance Times for Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration
Units). Such changes do not qualify as reconstruction or modification
under this subpart.
Sec. 60.2020 What combustion units are exempt from this subpart?
This subpart exempts the types of units described in paragraphs
(a), (c) through (i), and (n) of this section, but some units are
required to provide notifications. Air curtain incinerators are exempt

December 9, 2004).
Sec. 60.2030 Who implements and enforces this subpart?
(a) This subpart can be implemented and enforced by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), or a delegated authority such as
your state, local, or tribal agency. If the EPA Administrator has
delegated authority to your state, local, or tribal agency, then that
agency (as well as EPA) has the authority to implement and enforce this
subpart. You should contact your EPA Regional Office to find out if
this subpart is delegated to your state, local, or tribal agency.
(b) In delegating implementation and enforcement authority of this
subpart to a state, local, or tribal agency, the authorities contained
in paragraph (c) of this section are retained by the EPA Administrator
and are not transferred to the state, local, or tribal agency.
(c) The authorities that will not be delegated to state, local, or
tribal agencies are specified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (4) and
(c)(6) through (11) of this section:

combusting homogenous waste; and
(11) Approval of an alternative to any electronic reporting to the
EPA required by this subpart.
Sec. 60.2035 How are these new source performance standards
structured?
These new source performance standards contain the eleven major
components listed in paragraphs (a) through (k) of this section:
(a) Preconstruction siting analysis;
(b) Waste management plan;
(c) Operator training and qualification;
(d) Emission limitations and operating limits;
(e) Performance testing;
(f) Initial compliance requirements;
(g) Continuous compliance requirements;
(h) Monitoring;
(i) Recordkeeping and reporting;
(j) Definitions; and
(k) Tables.
Sec. 60.2040 Do all eleven components of these new source performance
standards apply at the same time?
No. You must meet the preconstruction siting analysis and waste
management plan requirements before you commence construction of the
CISWI unit. The operator training and qualification, emission
limitations, operating limits, performance testing and compliance,
monitoring, and most recordkeeping and reporting requirements are met
after the CISWI unit begins operation.
Preconstruction Siting Analysis
Sec. 60.2045 Who must prepare a siting analysis?
(a) You must prepare a siting analysis if you plan to commence
construction of an incinerator after December 1, 2000.
(b) You must prepare a siting analysis for CISWI units that
commenced construction after June 4, 2010, or that commenced
reconstruction or modification after August 7, 2013.
(c) You must prepare a siting analysis if you are required to
submit an initial application for a construction permit under 40 CFR
part 51, subpart I, or 40 CFR part 52, as applicable, for the
reconstruction or modification of your CISWI unit.
Sec. 60.2050 What is a siting analysis?
(a) The siting analysis must consider air pollution control
alternatives that minimize, on a site-specific basis, to the maximum
extent practicable, potential risks to public health or the
environment. In considering such alternatives, the analysis may
consider costs, energy impacts, nonair environmental impacts, or any
other factors related to the practicability of the alternatives.
(b) Analyses of your CISWI unit's impacts that are prepared to
comply with state, local, or other federal regulatory requirements may
be used to satisfy the requirements of this section, provided they
include the consideration of air pollution control alternatives

Waste Management Plan
Sec. 60.2055 What is a waste management plan?
A waste management plan is a written plan that identifies both the
feasibility and the methods used to reduce or separate certain
components of solid waste from the waste stream in order to reduce or
eliminate toxic emissions from incinerated waste.
[[Page 40973]]
Sec. 60.2060 When must I submit my waste management plan?

A waste management plan must include consideration of the reduction
or separation of waste-stream elements such as paper, cardboard,
plastics, glass, batteries, or metals; or the use of recyclable
materials. The plan must identify any additional waste management
measures and implement those measures the source considers practical
and feasible, considering the effectiveness of waste management
measures already in place, the costs of additional measures, the
emissions reductions expected to be achieved, and any other
environmental or energy impacts they might have.

If all qualified operators are temporarily not accessible (i.e.,
not at the facility and not able to be at the facility within 1 hour),
you must meet one of the two criteria specified in paragraphs (a) and
(b) of this section, depending on the length of time that a qualified
operator is not accessible:
(a) When all qualified operators are not accessible for more than 8
hours, but less than 2 weeks, the CISWI unit may be operated by other
plant personnel familiar with the operation of the CISWI unit who have
completed a review of the information specified in Sec. 60.2095(a)
within the past 12 months. However, you must record the period when all
qualified operators were not accessible and include this deviation in
the annual report as specified under Sec. 60.2210; and
(b) When all qualified operators are not accessible for 2 weeks or
more, you must take the two actions that are described in paragraphs
(b)(1) and (2) of this section:
(1) Notify the Administrator of this deviation in writing within 10
days. In the notice, state what caused this deviation, what you are
doing to ensure that a qualified operator is accessible, and when you
anticipate that a qualified operator will be accessible; and
(2) Submit a status report to the Administrator every 4 weeks
outlining what you are doing to ensure that a qualified operator is
accessible, stating when you anticipate that a qualified operator will
be accessible and requesting approval from the Administrator to
continue operation of the CISWI unit. You must submit the first status
report 4 weeks after you notify the Administrator of the deviation
under paragraph (b)(1) of this section. If the Administrator notifies
you that your request to continue operation of the CISWI unit is
disapproved, the CISWI unit may continue operation for 90 days, then
must cease operation. Operation of the unit may resume if you meet the
two requirements in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) and (ii) of this section:
(i) A qualified operator is accessible as required under Sec.
60.2070(a); and
(ii) You notify the Administrator that a qualified operator is
accessible and that you are resuming operation.
Emission Limitations and Operating Limits
Sec. 60.2105 What emission limitations must I meet and by when?
(a) You must meet the emission limitations for each CISWI unit,
including bypass stack or vent, specified in table 1 of this subpart or
tables 5 through 8 of this subpart by the applicable date in Sec.
60.2140. You must be in compliance with the emission limitations of
this subpart that apply to you at all times.
(b) An incinerator or air curtain incinerator that commenced
construction after November 30, 1999, but no later than June 4, 2010,
or that commenced reconstruction or modification on or after June 1,
2001 but no later than August 7, 2013, must continue to meet the
emission limits in table 1 of this subpart for units in the incinerator
subcategory and Sec. 60.2250 for air curtain incinerators until the
units become subject to the requirements of an approved state plan or
federal plan that implements subpart DDDD of this part (Emission
Guidelines and Compliance Times for Commercial and Industrial Solid
Waste Incineration Units).
Sec. 60.2110 What operating limits must I meet and by when?
(a) If you use a wet scrubber(s) to comply with the emission
limitations, you must establish operating limits for up to four
operating parameters (as specified in table 2 of this subpart) as
described in paragraphs (a)(1) through (4) of this section during the
initial performance test:
(1) Maximum charge rate, calculated using one of the two different
procedures in paragraph (a)(1)(i) or (ii) of this section, as
appropriate:
(i) For continuous and intermittent units, maximum charge rate is
110 percent of the average charge rate measured during the most recent
performance test demonstrating compliance with all applicable emission
limitations; and
(ii) For batch units, maximum charge rate is 110 percent of the
daily charge rate measured during the most recent performance test
demonstrating compliance with all applicable emission limitations.
(2) Minimum pressure drop across the wet particulate matter
scrubber, which is calculated as the lowest 1-hour average pressure
drop across the wet scrubber measured during the most recent
performance test demonstrating compliance with the particulate matter
emission limitations; or minimum amperage to the wet scrubber, which is
calculated as the lowest 1-hour average amperage to the wet scrubber
measured during the most recent performance test demonstrating
compliance with the particulate matter emission limitations;
(3) Minimum scrubber liquid flow rate, which is calculated as the
lowest 1-hour average liquid flow rate at the inlet to the wet acid gas
or particulate matter scrubber measured during the most recent
performance test demonstrating compliance with all applicable emission
limitations; and
(4) Minimum scrubber liquor pH, which is calculated as the lowest
1-hour average liquor pH at the inlet to the wet acid gas scrubber
measured during the most recent performance test demonstrating
compliance with the HCl emission limitation.
(b) You must meet the operating limits established during the
initial performance test 60 days after your CISWI unit reaches the
charge rate at which it will operate, but no later than 180 days after
its initial startup.
(c) If you use a fabric filter to comply with the emission
limitations and you do not use a PM CPMS for monitoring PM compliance,
you must operate each fabric filter system such that the bag leak
detection system alarm does not sound more than 5 percent of the
operating time during a 6-month period. In calculating this operating
time percentage, if inspection of the fabric filter demonstrates that
no corrective action is required, no alarm time is counted. If
corrective action is required, each alarm shall be counted as a minimum
of 1 hour. If you take longer than 1 hour to initiate corrective
action, the alarm time shall be counted as the actual amount of time
taken by you to initiate corrective action.
(d) If you use an electrostatic precipitator to comply with the
emission limitations and you do not use a PM CPMS for monitoring PM
compliance, you must measure the (secondary) voltage and amperage of
the electrostatic precipitator collection plates during the particulate
matter performance test. Calculate the average
[[Page 40975]]
electric power value (secondary voltage x secondary current = secondary
electric power) for each test run. The operating limit for the
electrostatic precipitator is calculated as the lowest 1-hour average
secondary electric power measured during the most recent performance
test demonstrating compliance with the particulate matter emission
limitations.
(e) If you use activated carbon sorbent injection to comply with
the emission limitations, you must measure the sorbent flow rate during
the performance testing. The operating limit for the carbon sorbent
injection is calculated as the lowest 1-hour average sorbent flow rate
measured during the most recent performance test demonstrating
compliance with the mercury emission limitations. For energy recovery
units, when your unit operates at lower loads, multiply your sorbent
injection rate by the load fraction, as defined in this subpart, to
determine the required injection rate (e.g., for 50 percent load,
multiply the injection rate operating limit by 0.5).
(f) If you use selective noncatalytic reduction to comply with the
emission limitations, you must measure the charge rate, the secondary
chamber temperature (if applicable to your CISWI unit), and the reagent
flow rate during the nitrogen oxides performance testing. The operating
limits for the selective noncatalytic reduction are calculated as the
highest 1-hour average charge rate, lower secondary chamber
temperature, and lowest reagent flow rate measured during the most
recent performance test demonstrating compliance with the nitrogen
oxides emission limitations.
(g) If you use a dry scrubber to comply with the emission
limitations, you must measure the injection rate of each sorbent during
the performance testing. The operating limit for the injection rate of
each sorbent is calculated as the lowest 1-hour average injection rate
or each sorbent measured during the most recent performance test
demonstrating compliance with the hydrogen chloride emission
limitations. For energy recovery units, when your unit operates at
lower loads, multiply your sorbent injection rate by the load fraction,
as defined in this subpart, to determine the required injection rate
(e.g., for 50 percent load, multiply the injection rate operating limit
by 0.5).
(h) If you do not use a wet scrubber, electrostatic precipitator,
or fabric filter to comply with the emission limitations, and if you do
not determine compliance with your particulate matter emission
limitation with either a particulate matter CEMS or a particulate
matter CPMS, you must maintain opacity to less than or equal to 10
percent opacity (1-hour block average).
(i) If you use a PM CPMS to demonstrate compliance, you must
establish your PM CPMS operating limit and determine compliance with it
according to paragraphs (i)(1) through (5) of this section:
(1) Determine your operating limit as the average PM CPMS output
value recorded during the performance test or at a PM CPMS output value
corresponding to 75 percent of the emission limit if your PM
performance test demonstrates compliance below 75 percent of the
emission limit. You must verify an existing or establish a new
operating limit after each repeated performance test. You must repeat
the performance test annually and reassess and adjust the site-specific
operating limit in accordance with the results of the performance test:
(i) Your PM CPMS must provide a 4-20 milliamp output, or digital
equivalent, and the establishment of its relationship to manual
reference method measurements must be determined in units of milliamps;
(ii) Your PM CPMS operating range must be capable of reading PM
concentrations from zero to a level equivalent to at least two times
your allowable emission limit. If your PM CPMS is an auto-ranging
instrument capable of multiple scales, the primary range of the
instrument must be capable of reading PM concentration from zero to a
level equivalent to two times your allowable emission limit; and
(iii) During the initial performance test or any such subsequent
performance test that demonstrates compliance with the PM limit, record
and average all milliamp output values, or their digital equivalent,
from the PM CPMS for the periods corresponding to the compliance test
runs (e.g., average all your PM CPMS output values for three
corresponding 2-hour Method 5I test runs).
(2) If the average of your three PM performance test runs are below
75 percent of your PM emission limit, you must calculate an operating
limit by establishing a relationship of PM CPMS signal to PM
concentration using the PM CPMS instrument zero, the average PM CPMS
output values corresponding to the three compliance test runs, and the
average PM concentration from the Method 5 or performance test with the
procedures in (i)(1) through (5) of this section:
(i) Determine your instrument zero output with one of the following
procedures:
(A) Zero point data for in-situ instruments should be obtained by
removing the instrument from the stack and monitoring ambient air on a
test bench;
(B) Zero point data for extractive instruments should be obtained
by removing the extractive probe from the stack and drawing in clean
ambient air;
(C) The zero point can also can be established obtained by
performing manual reference method measurements when the flue gas is
free of PM emissions or contains very low PM concentrations (e.g., when
your process is not operating, but the fans are operating or your
source is combusting only natural gas) and plotting these with the
compliance data to find the zero intercept; and
(D) If none of the steps in paragraphs (i)(2)(i)(A) through (C) of
this section are possible, you must use a zero output value provided by
the manufacturer.
(ii) Determine your PM CPMS instrument average in milliamps, or the
digital equivalent, and the average of your corresponding three PM
compliance test runs, using equation 1:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.000
Where:
X1 = the PM CPMS output data points for the three runs
constituting the performance test,
Y1 = the PM concentration value for the three runs
constituting the performance test, and
n = the number of data points.
(iii) With your instrument zero expressed in milliamps, or the
digital equivalent, your three run average PM CPMS milliamp value, or
its digital equivalent, and your three run average PM concentration
from your three compliance tests, determine a
[[Page 40976]]
relationship of mg/dscm per milliamp or digital signal equivalent with
equation 2:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.001
Where:
R = the relative mg/dscm per milliamp or digital equivalent for your
PM CPMS,
Y1 = the three run average mg/dscm PM concentration,
X1 = the three run average milliamp or digital signal
output from you PM CPMS, and
z = the milliamp or digital signal equivalent of your instrument
zero determined from paragraph (2)(i) of this section.
(iv) Determine your source specific 30-day rolling average
operating limit using the mg/dscm per milliamp or digital value from
equation 2 in equation 3, below. This sets your operating limit at the
PM CPMS output value corresponding to 75 percent of your emission
limit:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.002
Where:
Ol = the operating limit for your PM CPMS on a 30-day
rolling average, in milliamps or their digital signal equivalent,
L = your source emission limit expressed in mg/dscm,
z = your instrument zero in milliamps or the digital equivalent,
determined from paragraph (2)(i) of this secction, and
R = the relative mg/dscm per milliamp or digital signal output
equivalent for your PM CPMS, from equation 2.
(3) If the average of your three PM compliance test runs is at or
above 75 percent of your PM emission limit you must determine your
operating limit by averaging the PM CPMS milliamp or digital signal
output corresponding to your three PM performance test runs that
demonstrate compliance with the emission limit using equation 4 and you
must submit all compliance test and PM CPMS data according to the
reporting requirements in paragraph (i)(5) of this section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.003
Where:
X1 = the PM CPMS data points for all runs i,
n = the number of data points, and
Oh = your site specific operating limit, in milliamps or
digital signal equivalent.
(4) To determine continuous compliance, you must record the PM CPMS
output data for all periods when the process is operating and the PM
CPMS is not out-of-control. You must demonstrate continuous compliance
by using all quality-assured hourly average data collected by the PM
CPMS for all operating hours to calculate the arithmetic average
operating parameter in units of the operating limit (e.g., milliamps or
digital signal bits, PM concentration, raw data signal) on a 30-day
rolling average basis.
(5) For PM performance test reports used to set a PM CPMS operating
limit, the electronic submission of the test report must also include
the make and model of the PM CPMS instrument, serial number of the
instrument, analytical principle of the instrument (e.g., beta
attenuation), span of the instruments primary analytical range,
milliamp or digital signal value equivalent to the instrument zero
output, technique by which this zero value was determined, and the
average milliamp or digital signals corresponding to each PM compliance
test run.
Sec. 60.2115 What if I do not use a wet scrubber, fabric filter,
activated carbon injection, selective noncatalytic reduction, an
electrostatic precipitator, or a dry scrubber to comply with the
emission limitations?
If you use an air pollution control device other than a wet
scrubber, activated carbon injection, selective noncatalytic reduction,
fabric filter, an electrostatic precipitator, or a dry scrubber or
limit emissions in some other manner, including material balances, to
comply with the emission limitations under Sec. 60.2105, you must
petition the EPA Administrator for specific operating limits to be
established during the initial performance test and continuously
monitored thereafter. You must submit the petition at least sixty days

limits on these parameters will serve to limit emissions of regulated
pollutants;
(c) A discussion of how you will establish the upper and/or lower
values for these parameters which will establish the operating limits
on these parameters;
(d) A discussion identifying the methods you will use to measure
and the instruments you will use to monitor these parameters, as well
as the relative accuracy and precision of these methods and
instruments; and

oxygen;
Cmeas = pollutant concentration measured on a dry basis;
(20.9-7) = 20.9 percent oxygen-7 percent oxygen (defined oxygen
correction basis);
20.9 = oxygen concentration in air, percent; and
%O2 = oxygen concentration measured on a dry basis,
percent.
(g) You must determine dioxins/furans toxic equivalency by
following the procedures in paragraphs (g)(1) through (4) of this
section:
(1) Measure the concentration of each dioxin/furan tetra-through
octa-chlorinated isomer emitted using EPA Method 23 at 40 CFR part 60,

Continuous Compliance Requirements
Sec. 60.2145 How do I demonstrate continuous compliance with the
emission limitations and the operating limits?
(a) Compliance with standards. (1) The emission standards and
operating requirements set forth in this subpart apply at all times;
(2) If you cease combusting solid waste, you may opt to remain
subject to the provisions of this subpart. Consistent with the
definition of CISWI unit, you are subject to the requirements of this
subpart at least 6 months following the last date of solid waste
combustion. Solid waste combustion is ceased when solid waste is not in
the combustion chamber (i.e., the solid waste feed to the combustor has
been cut off for a period of time not less than the solid waste
residence time);
(3) If you cease combusting solid waste, you must be in compliance
with any newly applicable standards on the effective date of the waste-
to-fuel switch. The effective date of the waste-to-fuel switch is a
date selected by you, that must be at least 6 months from the date that
you ceased combusting solid waste, consistent with Sec. 60.2145(a)(2).
Your source must remain in compliance with this subpart until the
effective date of the waste-to-fuel switch;
(4) If you own or operate an existing commercial or industrial
combustion unit that combusted a fuel or non-waste material, and you
commence or recommence combustion of solid waste, you are subject to
the provisions of this subpart as of the first day you introduce or
reintroduce solid waste to the combustion chamber, and this date
constitutes the effective date of the fuel-to-waste switch. You must
complete all initial compliance demonstrations for any section 112
standards that are applicable to your facility before you commence or
recommence combustion of solid waste. You must provide 30 days prior
notice of the effective date of the waste-to-fuel switch. The
notification must identify:
(i) The name of the owner or operator of the CISWI unit, the
location of the source, the emissions unit(s) that will cease burning
solid waste, and the date of the notice;
(ii) The currently applicable subcategory under this subpart, and
any 40 CFR part 63 subpart and subcategory that will be applicable
after you cease combusting solid waste;
(iii) The fuel(s), non-waste material(s) and solid waste(s) the
CISWI unit is currently combusting and has combusted over the past 6
months, and the fuel(s) or non-waste materials the unit will commence
combusting;
(iv) The date on which you became subject to the currently
applicable emission limits; and
(v) The date upon which you will cease combusting solid waste, and
the date (if different) that you intend for any new requirements to
become applicable (i.e., the effective date of the waste-to-fuel
switch), consistent with paragraphs (a)(2) and (3) of this section.
(5) All air pollution control equipment necessary for compliance
with any newly applicable emissions limits which apply as a result of
the cessation or commencement or recommencement of combusting solid
waste must be installed and operational as of the effective date of the
waste-to-fuel, or fuel-to-waste switch.
(6) All monitoring systems necessary for compliance with any newly
applicable monitoring requirements which apply as a result of the
cessation or commencement or recommencement of combusting solid waste
must be installed and operational as of the effective date of the
waste-to-fuel, or fuel-to-waste switch. All calibration and drift
checks must be performed as of the effective date of the waste-to-fuel,
or fuel-to-waste switch. Relative accuracy tests must be performed as
of the performance test deadline for PM CEMS (if PM CEMS are elected to
demonstrate continuous compliance with the particulate matter emission
limits). Relative accuracy testing for other CEMS need not be repeated
if that testing was previously performed consistent with Clean Air Act
section 112 monitoring requirements or monitoring requirements under
this subpart.
(b) You must conduct an annual performance test for the pollutants
listed in table 1 of this subpart or tables 5 through 8 of this subpart
and opacity for each CISWI unit as required under Sec. 60.2125. The
annual performance test must be conducted using the test methods listed
in table 1 of this subpart or tables 5 through 8 of this subpart and
the procedures in Sec. 60.2125. Annual performance tests are not
required if you use CEMS or continuous opacity monitoring systems to
determine compliance.
(c) You must continuously monitor the operating parameters
specified in Sec. 60.2110 or established under Sec. 60.2115 and as
specified in Sec. 60.2170. Use 3-hour block average values to
determine compliance (except for baghouse leak detection system alarms)
unless a different averaging period is established under Sec. 60.2115
or, for energy recovery units, where the averaging time for each
operating parameter is a 30-day rolling, calculated each hour as the
average of the previous 720 operating hours. Operation above the
established maximum, below the established minimum, or outside the
allowable range of operating limits specified in paragraph (a) of this
section constitutes a deviation from your operating limits established
under this subpart, except during performance tests conducted to
determine compliance with the emission and operating limits or to
establish new operating limits. Operating limits are confirmed or
reestablished during performance tests.
(d) You must burn only the same types of waste and fuels used to
establish subcategory applicability (for energy recovery units) and
operating limits during the performance test.
(e) For energy recovery units, incinerators, and small remote
units, you must perform an annual visual emissions test for ash
handling.
(f) For energy recovery units, you must conduct an annual
performance test for opacity (except where particulate matter CEMS or
continuous opacity monitoring systems are used are used) and the
pollutants listed in table 6 of this subpart.
(g) You may elect to demonstrate continuous compliance with the
carbon monoxide emission limit using a carbon monoxide CEMS according
to the following requirements:
(1) You must measure emissions according to Sec. 60.13 to
calculate 1-hour arithmetic averages, corrected to 7 percent oxygen.
CEMS data during startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart, are
not corrected to 7 percent oxygen, and are measured at stack oxygen
content. You must demonstrate initial compliance with the carbon
monoxide emissions limit using a 30-day rolling average of these 1-hour
arithmetic average emission concentrations, including CEMS data during
startup and shutdown as defined in this subpart, calculated using
equation 19-19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA Reference Method 19 at 40 CFR
part 60, appendix A-7 of this part; and
(2) Operate the carbon monoxide CEMS in accordance with the
requirements of performance specification 4A of appendix B of this part
and quality assurance procedure 1 of appendix F of this part.
(h) Coal and liquid/gas energy recovery units with average annual
heat input rates greater than or equal to 250 MMBtu/hr may elect to
demonstrate continuous compliance with the particulate matter emissions
limit using a particulate matter CEMS according to the procedures in
Sec. 60.2165(n) instead
[[Page 40979]]
of the particulate matter continuous parameter monitoring system (CPMS)
specified in Sec. 60.2145. Coal and liquid/gas energy recovery units
with annual average heat input rates less than 250 MMBtu/hr,
incinerators, and small remote incinerators may also elect to
demonstrate compliance using a particulate matter CEMS according to the
procedures in Sec. 60.2165(n) instead of particulate matter testing
with EPA Method 5 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-3 and, if applicable,
the continuous opacity monitoring requirements in paragraph (i) of this
section.
(i) For energy recovery units with annual average heat input rates
greater than or equal to 10 MMBtu/hour and less than 250 MMBtu/hr, you
must install, operate, certify and maintain a continuous opacity
monitoring system (COMS) according to the procedures in Sec. 60.2165.
(j) For waste-burning kilns, you must conduct an annual performance
test for cadmium, lead, dioxins/furans and hydrogen chloride as listed
in table 7 of this subpart. If you do not use an acid gas wet scrubber
or dry scrubber, you must determine compliance with the hydrogen
chloride emissions limit according to the requirements in paragraph
(j)(1) of this section. You must determine compliance with the mercury
emissions limit using a mercury CEMS according to paragraph (j)(2) of
this section. You must determine compliance with nitrogen oxides,
sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide using CEMS. You must determine
compliance with particulate matter using CPMS:
(1) If you monitor compliance with the HCl emissions limit by
operating an HCl CEMS, you must do so in accordance with Performance
Specification 15 (PS 15) of appendix B to 40 CFR part 60, or, PS 18 of
appendix B to 40 CFR part 60. You must operate, maintain, and quality
assure a HCl CEMS installed and certified under PS 15 according to the
quality assurance requirements in Procedure 1 of appendix F to 40 CFR
part 60 except that the Relative Accuracy Test Audit requirements of
Procedure 1 must be replaced with the validation requirements and
criteria of sections 11.1.1 and 12.0 of PS 15. You must operate,
maintain and quality assure a HCl CEMS installed and certified under PS
18 according to the quality assurance requirements in Procedure 6 of
appendix F to 40 CFR part 60. For any performance specification that
you use, you must use Method 321 of appendix A to 40 CFR part 63 as the
reference test method for conducting relative accuracy testing. The
span value and calibration requirements in paragraphs (j)(1)(i) and
(ii) of this section apply to all HCl CEMS used under this subpart:
(i) You must use a measurement span value for any HCl CEMS of 0-10
ppmvw unless the monitor is installed on a kiln without an inline raw
mill. Kilns without an inline raw mill may use a higher span value
sufficient to quantify all expected emissions concentrations. The HCl
CEMS data recorder output range must include the full range of expected
HCl concentration values which would include those expected during
``mill off'' conditions. The corresponding data recorder range shall be
documented in the site-specific monitoring plan and associated records;
(ii) In order to quality assure data measured above the span value,
you must use one of the three options in paragraphs (j)(1)(ii)(A)
through (C) of this section:
(A) Include a second span that encompasses the HCl emission
concentrations expected to be encountered during ``mill off''
conditions. This second span may be rounded to a multiple of 5 ppm of
total HCl. The requirements of the appropriate HCl monitor performance
specification shall be followed for this second span with the exception
that a RATA with the mill off is not required;
(B) Quality assure any data above the span value by proving
instrument linearity beyond the span value established in paragraph
(j)(1)(i) of this section using the following procedure. Conduct a
weekly ``above span linearity'' calibration challenge of the monitoring
system using a reference gas with a certified value greater than your
highest expected hourly concentration or greater than 75% of the
highest measured hourly concentration. The ``above span'' reference gas
must meet the requirements of the applicable performance specification
and must be introduced to the measurement system at the probe. Record
and report the results of this procedure as you would for a daily
calibration. The ``above span linearity'' challenge is successful if
the value measured by the HCl CEMS falls within 10 percent of the
certified value of the reference gas. If the value measured by the HCl
CEMS during the above span linearity challenge exceeds 10 percent of
the certified value of the reference gas, the monitoring system must be
evaluated and repaired and a new ``above span linearity'' challenge met
before returning the HCl CEMS to service, or data above span from the
HCl CEMS must be subject to the quality assurance procedures
established in (j)(1)(ii)(D) of this section. In this manner values
measured by the HCl CEMS during the above span linearity challenge
exceeding +/-20 percent of the certified value of the reference gas
must be normalized using equation 6;
(C) Quality assure any data above the span value established in
paragraph (j)(1)(i) of this section using the following procedure. Any
time two consecutive one-hour average measured concentration of HCl
exceeds the span value you must, within 24 hours before or after,
introduce a higher, ``above span'' HCl reference gas standard to the
HCl CEMS. The ``above span'' reference gas must meet the requirements
of the applicable performance specification and target a concentration
level between 50 and 150 percent of the highest expected hourly
concentration measured during the period of measurements above span,
and must be introduced at the probe. While this target represents a
desired concentration range that is not always achievable in practice,
it is expected that the intent to meet this range is demonstrated by
the value of the reference gas. Expected values may include above span
calibrations done before or after the above-span measurement period.
Record and report the results of this procedure as you would for a
daily calibration. The ``above span'' calibration is successful if the
value measured by the HCl CEMS is within 20 percent of the certified
value of the reference gas. If the value measured by the HCl CEMS is
not within 20 percent of the certified value of the reference gas, then
you must normalize the stack gas values measured above span as
described in paragraph (j)(1)(ii)(D) of this section. If the ``above
span'' calibration is conducted during the period when measured
emissions are above span and there is a failure to collect the one data
point in an hour due to the calibration duration, then you must
determine the emissions average for that missed hour as the average of
hourly averages for the hour preceding the missed hour and the hour
following the missed hour. In an hour where an ``above span''
calibration is being conducted and one or more data points are
collected, the emissions average is represented by the average of all
valid data points collected in that hour;
(D) In the event that the ``above span'' calibration is not
successful (i.e., the HCl CEMS measured value is not within 20 percent
of the certified value of the reference gas), then you must normalize
the one-hour average stack gas values measured above the span during
the 24-hour period preceding or following the ``above span''
calibration for reporting based on the HCl CEMS response to the
reference gas as shown in equation 6:
[[Page 40980]]
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.005
Only one ``above span'' calibration is needed per 24-hour period.
(2) Compliance with the mercury emissions limit must be determined
using a mercury CEMS according to the following requirements:
(i) You must operate a CEMS system in accordance with performance
specification 12A of 40 CFR part 60, appendix B or a sorbent trap based
integrated monitor in accordance with performance specification 12B of
40 CFR part 60, appendix B. The duration of the performance test must
be a calendar month. For each calendar month in which the waste-burning
kiln operates, hourly mercury concentration data, and stack gas
volumetric flow rate data must be obtained. You must demonstrate
compliance with the mercury emissions limit using a 30-day rolling
average of these 1-hour mercury concentrations, including CEMS data
during startup and shutdown as defined in this subpart, calculated
using equation 19-19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA Reference Method 19 at 40
CFR part 60, appendix A-7 of this part. CEMS data during startup and
shutdown, as defined in this subpart, are not corrected to 7 percent
oxygen, and are measured at stack oxygen content;
(ii) Owners or operators using a mercury CEMS must install,
operate, calibrate, and maintain an instrument for continuously
measuring and recording the mercury mass emissions rate to the
atmosphere according to the requirements of performance specifications
6 and 12A of 40 CFR part 60, appendix B, and quality assurance
procedure 6 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix F; and
(iii) The owner or operator of a waste-burning kiln must
demonstrate initial compliance by operating a mercury CEMS while the
raw mill of the in-line kiln/raw mill is operating under normal
conditions and including at least one period when the raw mill is off.
(k) If you use an air pollution control device to meet the emission
limitations in this subpart, you must conduct an initial and annual
inspection of the air pollution control device. The inspection must
include, at a minimum, the following:
(1) Inspect air pollution control device(s) for proper operation;
and.
(2) Develop a site-specific monitoring plan according to the

monitoring plan and confirm that the pressure monitoring system
continues to meet the performance requirements in your monitoring plan.
Alternatively, install and verify the operation of a new pressure
sensor.
(o) If you have an operating limit that requires a pH monitoring

(s) For facilities using a CEMS to demonstrate compliance with the
sulfur dioxide emission limit, compliance with the sulfur dioxide
emission limit may be demonstrated by using the CEMS specified in Sec.
60.2165 to measure sulfur dioxide. CEMS data during startup and

For sources that have actual inlet emissions less than 100 parts per
million dry volume, the relative accuracy criterion for inlet sulfur
dioxide CEMS should be no greater than 20 percent of the mean value of
the reference method test data in terms of the units of the emission
standard, or 5 parts per million dry volume absolute value of the mean
difference between the reference method and the CEMS, whichever is

(1) During each relative accuracy test run of the CEMS required by
performance specification 2 in appendix B of this part, collect sulfur
dioxide and oxygen (or carbon dioxide) data concurrently (or within a
30- to 60-minute period) with both the CEMS and the test methods
specified in paragraphs (s)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section:
(i) For sulfur dioxide, EPA Reference Method 6 or 6C, or as an
alternative ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981 (incorporated by reference, see
Sec. 60.17) must be used; and
(ii) For oxygen (or carbon dioxide), EPA Reference Method 3A or 3B,

(t) For facilities using a CEMS to demonstrate continuous
compliance with the nitrogen oxides emission limit, compliance with the
nitrogen oxides emission limit may be demonstrated by using the CEMS
specified in Sec. 60.2165 to measure nitrogen oxides. CEMS data during
startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart, are not corrected to
7 percent oxygen, and are measured at stack oxygen content. You must
calculate a 30-day rolling average of the 1-hour arithmetic average
emission concentrations, including CEMS data during startup and
shutdown as defined in this subpart, using equation 19-19 in section
12.4.1 of EPA Reference Method 19 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7 of
this part. The nitrogen oxides CEMS must be operated according to
performance specification 2 in appendix B of this part and must follow
the procedures and methods specified in paragraphs (t)(1) through (4)

nitrogen oxides and oxygen (or carbon dioxide) data concurrently (or
within a 30- to 60-minute period) with both the CEMS and the test
methods specified in paragraphs (t)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section:
(i) For nitrogen oxides, EPA Reference Method 7 or 7E at 40 CFR
part 60, appendix A-4 must be used; and
(ii) For oxygen (or carbon dioxide), EPA Reference Method 3A or 3B
at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-3, or as an alternative ANSI/ASME PTC 19-

must be used.
(2) The span value of the continuous emission monitoring system
must be 125 percent of the maximum estimated hourly potential nitrogen
oxide emissions of the unit.
(3) Conduct accuracy determinations quarterly and calibration drift
tests daily in accordance with procedure 1 in appendix F of this part.
(4) The owner or operator of an affected facility may request that
[[Page 40982]]
compliance with the nitrogen oxides emission limit be determined using
carbon dioxide measurements corrected to an equivalent of 7 percent
oxygen. If carbon dioxide is selected for use in diluent corrections,
the relationship between oxygen and carbon dioxide levels must be
established during the initial performance test according to the
procedures and methods specified in paragraphs (t)(4)(i) through (iv)
of this section. This relationship may be re-established during
performance compliance tests:
(i) The fuel factor equation in Method 3B must be used to determine
the relationship between oxygen and carbon dioxide at a sampling
location. Method 3A or 3B, or as an alternative ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-
1981 (incorporated by reference, see Sec. 60.17), as applicable, must
be used to determine the oxygen concentration at the same location as
the carbon dioxide monitor;
(ii) Samples must be taken for at least 30 minutes in each hour;
(iii) Each sample must represent a 1-hour average; and
(iv) A minimum of three runs must be performed.
(u) For facilities using a CEMS to demonstrate continuous
compliance with any of the emission limits of this subpart, you must
complete the following:
(1) Demonstrate compliance with the appropriate emission limit(s)
using a 30-day rolling average of 1-hour arithmetic average emission
concentrations, including CEMS data during startup and shutdown as
defined in this subpart, calculated using equation 19-19 in section
12.4.1 of EPA Reference Method 19 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7 of
this part. CEMS data during startup and shutdown, as defined in the
subpart, are not corrected to 7 percent oxygen, and are measured at
stack oxygen content; and
(2) Operate all CEMS in accordance with the applicable procedures
under appendices B and F of this part.
(v) Use of the bypass stack at any time is an emissions standards
deviation for particulate matter, HCl, Pb, Cd, Hg, NOX,
SO2, and dioxin/furans.
(w) For energy recovery units with a design heat input capacity of
100 MMBtu per hour or greater that do not use a carbon monoxide CEMS,
you must install, operate, and maintain a oxygen analyzer system as
defined in Sec. 60.2265 according to the procedures in paragraphs
(w)(1) through (4) of this section:
(1) The oxygen analyzer system must be installed by the initial
performance test date specified in Sec. 60.2140;
(2) You must operate the oxygen trim system within compliance with
paragraph (w)(3) of this section at all times;
(3) You must maintain the oxygen level such that the 30-day rolling
average that is established as the operating limit for oxygen is not
below the lowest hourly average oxygen concentration measured during
the most recent CO performance test; and
(4) You must calculate and record a 30-day rolling average oxygen
concentration using equation 19-19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA Reference
Method 19 of Appendix A-7 of this part.
(x) For energy recovery units with annual average heat input rates
greater than or equal to 250 MMBtu/hour and waste-burning kilns, you
must install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a PM CPMS and record the
output of the system as specified in paragraphs (x)(1) through (8) of
this section. For other energy recovery units, you may elect to use PM
CPMS operated in accordance with this section. PM CPMS are suitable in
lieu of using other CMS for monitoring PM compliance (e.g., bag leak
detectors, ESP secondary power, PM scrubber pressure):
(1) Install, calibrate, operate, and maintain your PM CPMS
according to the procedures in your approved site-specific monitoring
plan developed in accordance with paragraphs (l) and (x)(1)(i) through
(iii) of this section:
(i) The operating principle of the PM CPMS must be based on in-
stack or extractive light scatter, light scintillation, beta
attenuation, or mass accumulation detection of the exhaust gas or
representative sample. The reportable measurement output from the PM
CPMS must be expressed as milliamps or the digital signal equivalent;
(ii) The PM CPMS must have a cycle time (i.e., period required to
complete sampling, measurement, and reporting for each measurement) no
longer than 60 minutes; and
(iii) The PM CPMS must be capable of detecting and responding to
particulate matter concentrations increments no greater than 0.5 mg/
actual cubic meter.
(2) During the initial performance test or any such subsequent
performance test that demonstrates compliance with the PM limit, you
must adjust the site-specific operating limit in accordance with the
results of the performance test according to the procedures specified
in Sec. 60.2110.
(3) Collect PM CPMS hourly average output data for all energy
recovery unit or waste-burning kiln operating hours. Express the PM
CPMS output as milliamps.
(4) Calculate the arithmetic 30-day rolling average of all of the
hourly average PM CPMS output collected during all energy recovery unit
or waste-burning kiln operating hours data (milliamps or their digital
equivalent).
(5) You must collect data using the PM CPMS at all times the energy
recovery unit or waste-burning kiln is operating and at the intervals
specified in paragraph (x)(1)(ii) of this section, except for periods
of monitoring system malfunctions, repairs associated with monitoring
system malfunctions, required monitoring system quality assurance or
quality control activities (including, as applicable, calibration
checks and required zero and span adjustments), and any scheduled
maintenance as defined in your site-specific monitoring plan.
(6) You must use all the data collected during all energy recovery
unit or waste-burning kiln operating hours in assessing the compliance
with your operating limit except:
(i) Any data collected during monitoring system malfunctions,
repairs associated with monitoring system malfunctions, or required
monitoring system quality assurance or quality control activities
conducted during monitoring system malfunctions are not used in
calculations (report any such periods in your annual deviation report);
(ii) Any data collected during periods when the monitoring system
is out of control as specified in your site-specific monitoring plan,
repairs associated with periods when the monitoring system is out of
control, or required monitoring system quality assurance or quality
control activities conducted during out-of-control periods are not used
in calculations (report emissions or operating levels and report any
such periods in your annual deviation report);
(iii) Any PM CPMS data recorded during periods of CEMS data during
startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart.
(7) You must record and make available upon request results of PM
CPMS system performance audits, as well as the dates and duration of
periods from when the PM CPMS is out of control until completion of the
corrective actions necessary to return the PM CPMS to operation
consistent with your site-specific monitoring plan.
(8) For any deviation of the 30-day rolling average PM CPMS average
value from the established operating parameter limit, you must:
(i) Within 48 hours of the deviation, visually inspect the air
pollution control device;
[[Page 40983]]
(ii) If inspection of the air pollution control device identifies
the cause of the deviation, take corrective action as soon as possible
and return the PM CPMS measurement to within the established value;
(iii) Within 30 days of the deviation or at the time of the annual
compliance test, whichever comes first, conduct a PM emissions
compliance test to determine compliance with the PM emissions limit and
to verify. Within 45 days of the deviation, you must re-establish the
CPMS operating limit. You are not required to conduct additional
testing for any deviations that occur between the time of the original
deviation and the PM emissions compliance test required under paragraph
(x) of this section; and
(iv) PM CPMS deviations leading to more than four required
performance tests in a 12-month process operating period (rolling
monthly) constitute a violation of this subpart.
(y) When there is an alkali bypass and/or an in-line coal mill that
exhaust emissions through a separate stack(s), the combined emissions
are subject to the emission limits applicable to waste-burning kilns.
To determine the kiln-specific emission limit for demonstrating
compliance, you must:
(1) Calculate a kiln-specific emission limit using equation 7:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.006
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.007
Where:Cks = Kiln stack concentration (ppmvd, mgdscm, ng/
dscm, depending on pollutant. Each corrected to 7% O2.)
Qab = Alkali bypass flow rate (volume/hr)
Cab = Alkali bypass concentration (ppmvd, mg/dscm, ng/
dscm, depending on pollutant. Each corrected to 7% O2.)
Qcm = In-line coal mill flow rate (volume/hr)
Ccm = In-line coal mill concentration (ppmvd, mg/dscm,
ng/dscm, depending on pollutant. Each corrected to 7%
O2.)
Qks = Kiln stack flow rate (volume/hr)
(2) Particulate matter concentration must be measured downstream of
the in-line coal mill. All other pollutant concentrations must be
measured either upstream or downstream of the in-line coal mill; and
(3) For purposes of determining the combined emissions from kilns
equipped with an alkali bypass or that exhaust kiln gases to a coal
mill that exhausts through a separate stack, instead of installing a
CEMS or PM CPMS on the alkali bypass stack or in-line coal mill stack,
the results of the initial and subsequent performance test can be used
to demonstrate compliance with the relevant emissions limit. A
performance test must be conducted on an annual basis (between 11 and
13 calendar months following the previous performance test).
Sec. 60.2150 By what date must I conduct the annual performance test?
You must conduct annual performance tests between 11 and 13 months
of the previous performance test.
Sec. 60.2151 By what date must I conduct the annual air pollution
control device inspection?
On an annual basis (no more than 12 months following the previous
annual air pollution control device inspection), you must complete the
air pollution control device inspection as described in Sec. 60.2141.
Sec. 60.2155 May I conduct performance testing less often?
(a) You must conduct annual performance tests according to the
schedule specified in Sec. 60.2150, with the following exceptions:

establish new values for the operating limits to apply from that point
forward, as specified in Sec. 60.2160. The Administrator may request a
repeat performance test at any time;
(2) You must repeat the performance test within 60 days of a
process change, as defined in Sec. 60.2265;
(3) If the initial or any subsequent performance test for any
pollutant in table 1 or tables 5 through 8 of this subpart, as
applicable, demonstrates that the emission level for the pollutant is
no greater than the emission level specified in paragraph (a)(3)(i) or
(a)(3)(ii) of this section, as
(i) For particulate matter, hydrogen chloride, mercury, nitrogen
oxides, sulfur dioxide, cadmium, lead and dioxins/furans, the emission
level equal to 75 percent of the applicable emission limit in table 1
or tables 5 through 8 of this subpart, as applicable, to this subpart;
and
(ii) For fugitive emissions, visible emissions (of combustion ash
from the ash conveying system) for 2 percent of the time during each of
the three 1-hour observations periods.
(4) If you are conducting less frequent testing for a pollutant as
provided in paragraph (a)(3) of this section and a subsequent
performance test for the pollutant indicates that your CISWI unit does
not meet the emission level specified in paragraph (a)(3)(i) or
(a)(3)(ii) of this section, as applicable, you must conduct annual
performance tests for the pollutant according to the schedule specified
in paragraph (a) of this section until you qualify for less frequent
testing for the pollutant as specified in paragraph (a)(3) of this
section.
(b) [Reserved]
Sec. 60.2160 May I conduct a repeat performance test to establish new
operating limits?
(a) Yes. You may conduct a repeat performance test at any time to
establish new values for the operating limits. The Administrator may
request a repeat performance test at any time.
(b) You must repeat the performance test if your feed stream is
different than the feed streams used during any performance test used
to demonstrate compliance.
Monitoring
Sec. 60.2165 What monitoring equipment must I install and what
parameters must I monitor?
(a) If you are using a wet scrubber to comply with the emission
limitation under Sec. 60.2105, you must install, calibrate (to
manufacturers' specifications), maintain, and operate devices (or
establish methods) for monitoring the value of the operating parameters
used to determine compliance with the operating limits listed in table
2 of this subpart. These devices (or methods) must measure and record
the values for these operating parameters at the frequencies indicated
in table 2 of this subpart at all times except as specified in Sec.
60.2170(a).
(b) If you use a fabric filter to comply with the requirements of
this subpart and you do not use a PM CPMS for monitoring PM compliance,
you must install, calibrate, maintain, and continuously operate a bag
leak
[[Page 40984]]
detection system as specified in paragraphs (b)(1) through (8) of this
section:
(1) You must install and operate a bag leak detection system for
each exhaust stack of the fabric filter;
(2) Each bag leak detection system must be installed, operated,
calibrated, and maintained in a manner consistent with the
manufacturer's written specifications and recommendations;
(3) The bag leak detection system must be certified by the
manufacturer to be capable of detecting particulate matter emissions at
concentrations of 10 milligrams per actual cubic meter or less;
(4) The bag leak detection system sensor must provide output of
relative or absolute particulate matter loadings;
(5) The bag leak detection system must be equipped with a device to
continuously record the output signal from the sensor;
(6) The bag leak detection system must be equipped with an alarm
system that will alert automatically an operator when an increase in
relative particulate matter emissions over a preset level is detected.
The alarm must be located where it is observed easily by plant
operating personnel;
(7) For positive pressure fabric filter systems, a bag leak
detection system must be installed in each baghouse compartment or
cell. For negative pressure or induced air fabric filters, the bag leak
detector must be installed downstream of the fabric filter; and
(8) Where multiple detectors are required, the system's
instrumentation and alarm may be shared among detectors.
(c) If you are using something other than a wet scrubber, activated
carbon, selective non-catalytic reduction, an electrostatic
precipitator, or a dry scrubber to comply with the emission limitations
under Sec. 60.2105, you must install, calibrate (to the manufacturers'
specifications), maintain, and operate the equipment necessary to
monitor compliance with the site-specific operating limits established
using the procedures in Sec. 60.2115.
(d) If you use activated carbon injection to comply with the
emission limitations in this subpart, you must measure the minimum
mercury sorbent flow rate once per hour.
(e) If you use selective noncatalytic reduction to comply with the
emission limitations, you must complete the following:
(1) Following the date on which the initial performance test is
completed or is required to be completed under Sec. 60.2125, whichever
date comes first, ensure that the affected facility does not operate
above the maximum charge rate, or below the minimum secondary chamber
temperature (if applicable to your CISWI unit) or the minimum reagent
flow rate measured as 3-hour block averages at all times; and
(2) Operation of the affected facility above the maximum charge
rate, below the minimum secondary chamber temperature and below the
minimum reagent flow rate simultaneously constitute a violation of the
nitrogen oxides emissions limit.
(f) If you use an electrostatic precipitator to comply with the
emission limits of this subpart and you do not use a PM CPMS for
monitoring PM compliance, you must monitor the secondary power to the
electrostatic precipitator collection plates and maintain the 3-hour
block averages at or above the operating limits established during the
mercury or particulate matter performance test.
(g) For waste-burning kilns not equipped with a wet scrubber or dry
scrubber, in place of hydrogen chloride testing with EPA Method 321 at
40 CFR part 63, appendix A, an owner or operator must install,
calibrate, maintain, and operate a CEMS for monitoring hydrogen
chloride emissions, as specified in Sec. 60.2145(j) of this subpart,
discharged to the atmosphere and record the output of the system. To
demonstrate continuous compliance with the hydrogen chloride emissions
limit for units other than waste-burning kilns not equipped with a wet
scrubber or dry scrubber, a facility may substitute use of a hydrogen
chloride CEMS for conducting the hydrogen chloride annual performance
test, monitoring the minimum hydrogen chloride sorbent flow rate,
monitoring the minimum scrubber liquor pH, and monitoring minimum
injection rate.
(h) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the particulate
matter emissions limit, a facility may substitute use of either a
particulate matter CEMS or a particulate matter CPMS for conducting the
PM annual performance test and using other CMS for monitoring PM
compliance (e.g., bag leak detectors, ESP secondary power, PM scrubber
pressure).
(i) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the dioxin/furan
emissions limit, a facility may substitute use of a continuous
automated sampling system for the dioxin/furan annual performance test.
You must record the output of the system and analyze the sample
according to EPA Method 23 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7 of this
part. This option to use a continuous automated sampling system takes
effect on the date a final performance specification applicable to
dioxin/furan from continuous monitors is published in the Federal
Register. The owner or operator who elects to continuously sample
dioxin/furan emissions instead of sampling and testing using EPA Method
23 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7 must install, calibrate, maintain,
and operate a continuous automated sampling system and must comply with
the requirements specified in Sec. 60.58b(p) and (q). A facility may
substitute continuous dioxin/furan monitoring for the minimum sorbent
flow rate, if activated carbon sorbent injection is used solely for
compliance with the dioxin/furan emission limit.
(j) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the mercury emissions
limit, a facility may substitute use of a continuous automated sampling
system for the mercury annual performance test. You must record the
output of the system and analyze the sample at set intervals using any
suitable determinative technique that can meet performance
specification 12B. The owner or operator who elects to continuously
sample mercury emissions instead of sampling and testing using EPA
Reference Method 29 or 30B at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-8, ASTM D6784-
02 (Reapproved 2008) (incorporated by reference, see Sec. 60.17), or
an approved alternative method for measuring mercury emissions, must
install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a continuous automated
sampling system and must comply with performance specification 12A and
quality assurance procedure 5, as well as the requirements specified in
Sec. 60.58b(p) and (q). A facility may substitute continuous mercury
monitoring for the minimum sorbent flow rate, if activated carbon
sorbent injection is used solely for compliance with the mercury
emission limit. Waste-burning kilns must install, calibrate, maintain,
and operate a mercury CEMS as specified in Sec. 60.2145(j).
(k) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the nitrogen oxides
emissions limit, a facility may substitute use of a CEMS for the
nitrogen oxides annual performance test to demonstrate compliance with
the nitrogen oxides emissions limits and monitoring the charge rate,
secondary chamber temperature, and reagent flow for selective
noncatalytic reduction, if applicable:
(1) Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a CEMS for measuring
nitrogen oxides emissions discharged to the atmosphere and record the
output of the system. The requirements under performance specification
2 of appendix B of this part, the quality assurance
[[Page 40985]]
procedure one of appendix F of this part and the procedures under Sec.
60.13 must be followed for installation, evaluation, and operation of
the CEMS; and
(2) Following the date that the initial performance test for
nitrogen oxides is completed or is required to be completed under Sec.
60.2125, compliance with the emission limit for nitrogen oxides
required under Sec. 60.52b(d) must be determined based on the 30-day
rolling average of the hourly emission concentrations using CEMS outlet
data. The 1-hour arithmetic averages must be expressed in parts per
million by volume corrected to 7 percent oxygen (dry basis) and used to
calculate the 30-day rolling average concentrations. CEMS data during
startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart, are not corrected to
7 percent oxygen, and are measured at stack oxygen content. The 1-hour
arithmetic averages must be calculated using the data points required
under Sec. 60.13(e)(2).
(l) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the sulfur dioxide
emissions limit, a facility may substitute use of a continuous
automated sampling system for the sulfur dioxide annual performance
test to demonstrate compliance with the sulfur dioxide emissions
limits:
(1) Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a CEMS for measuring
sulfur dioxide emissions discharged to the atmosphere and record the
output of the system. The requirements under performance specification
2 of appendix B of this part, the quality assurance requirements of
procedure one of appendix F of this part and procedures under Sec.
60.13 must be followed for installation, evaluation, and operation of
the CEMS; and
(2) Following the date that the initial performance test for sulfur
dioxide is completed or is required to be completed under Sec.
60.2125, compliance with the sulfur dioxide emission limit may be
determined based on the 30-day rolling average of the hourly arithmetic
average emission concentrations using CEMS outlet data. The 1-hour
arithmetic averages must be expressed in parts per million corrected to
7 percent oxygen (dry basis) and used to calculate the 30-day rolling
average emission concentrations. CEMS data during startup and shutdown,
as defined in this subpart, are not corrected to 7 percent oxygen, and
are measured at stack oxygen content. The 1-hour arithmetic averages
must be calculated using the data points required under Sec.
60.13(e)(2).
(m) For energy recovery units over 10 MMBtu/hr but less than 250
MMBtu/hr annual average heat input rates that do not use a wet
scrubber, fabric filter with bag leak detection system, or particulate
matter CEMS, you must install, operate, certify, and maintain a
continuous opacity monitoring system according to the procedures in
paragraphs (m)(1) through (5) of this section by the compliance date
specified in Sec. 60.2105. Energy recovery units that use a CEMS to
demonstrate initial and continuing compliance according to the
procedures in Sec. 60.2165(n) are not required to install a continuous
opacity monitoring system and must perform the annual performance tests
for the opacity consistent with Sec. 60.2145(f):
(1) Install, operate, and maintain each continuous opacity
monitoring system according to performance specification 1 of 40 CFR
part 60, appendix B;
(2) Conduct a performance evaluation of each continuous opacity
monitoring system according to the requirements in Sec. 60.13 and
according to PS-1 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix B;
(3) As specified in Sec. 60.13(e)(1), each continuous opacity
monitoring system must complete a minimum of one cycle of sampling and
analyzing for each successive 10-second period and one cycle of data
recording for each successive 6-minute period;
(4) Reduce the continuous opacity monitoring system data as
specified in Sec. 60.13(h)(1); and
(5) Determine and record all the 6-minute averages (and 1-hour
block averages as applicable) collected.
(n) For coal and liquid/gas energy recovery units, incinerators,
and small remote incinerators, an owner or operator may elect to
install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a CEMS for monitoring
particulate matter emissions discharged to the atmosphere and record
the output of the system. The owner or operator of an affected facility
who continuously monitors particulate matter emissions instead of
conducting performance testing using EPA Method 5 at 40 CFR part 60,
appendix A-3 or, as applicable, monitor with a particulate matter CPMS
according to paragraph (r) of this section, must install, calibrate,
maintain, and operate a CEMS and must comply with the requirements
specified in paragraphs (n)(1) through (13) of this section:
(1) Notify the Administrator 1 month before starting use of the
system;
(2) Notify the Administrator 1 month before stopping use of the
system;
(3) The monitor must be installed, evaluated, and operated in
accordance with the requirements of performance specification 11 of
appendix B of this part and quality assurance requirements of procedure
two of appendix F of this part and Sec. 60.13. Use Method 5 or Method
5I of Appendix A of this part for the PM CEMS correlation testing;
(4) The initial performance evaluation must be completed no later
than 180 days after the date of initial startup of the affected
facility, as specified under Sec. 60.2125 or within 180 days of
notification to the Administrator of use of the continuous monitoring
system if the owner or operator was previously determining compliance
by Method 5 performance tests, whichever is later;
(5) The owner or operator of an affected facility may request that
compliance with the particulate matter emission limit be determined
using carbon dioxide measurements corrected to an equivalent of 7
percent oxygen. The relationship between oxygen and carbon dioxide
levels for the affected facility must be established according to the
procedures and methods specified in Sec. 60.2145(t)(4)(i) through
(iv);
(6) The owner or operator of an affected facility must conduct an
initial performance test for particulate matter emissions as required
under Sec. 60.2125. Compliance with the particulate matter emission
limit, if PM CEMS are elected for demonstrating compliance, must be
determined by using the CEMS specified in paragraph (n) of this section
to measure particulate matter. You must calculate a 30-day rolling
average of 1-hour arithmetic average emission concentrations, including
CEMS data during startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart,
using equation 19-19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA Reference Method 19 at 40
CFR part 60, appendix A-7;
(7) Compliance with the particulate matter emission limit must be
determined based on the 30-day rolling average calculated using
equation 19-19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA Reference Method 19 at 40 CFR
part 60, appendix A-7 from the 1-hour arithmetic average CEMS outlet
data;
(8) At a minimum, valid continuous monitoring system hourly
averages must be obtained as specified in Sec. 60.2170(e);
(9) The 1-hour arithmetic averages required under paragraph (n)(7)
of this section must be expressed in milligrams per dry standard cubic
meter corrected to 7 percent oxygen (dry basis) and must be used to
calculate the 30-day rolling average emission concentrations. CEMS data
during startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart, are not
corrected to 7 percent oxygen, and are measured at stack oxygen
content. The 1-hour arithmetic averages must be calculated using the
data points required under Sec. 60.13(e)(2);
(10) All valid CEMS data must be used in calculating average
emission concentrations even if the minimum
[[Page 40986]]
CEMS data requirements of paragraph (n)(8) of this section are not met.
(11) The CEMS must be operated according to performance
specification 11 in appendix B of this part;
(12) During each relative accuracy test run of the CEMS required by
performance specification 11 in appendix B of this part, particulate
matter and oxygen (or carbon dioxide) data must be collected
concurrently (or within a 30- to 60-minute period) by both the CEMS and
the following test methods:
(i) For particulate matter, EPA Reference Method 5 must be used;
and
(ii) For oxygen (or carbon dioxide), EPA Reference Method 3A or 3B,
as applicable, must be used; and
(13) Quarterly accuracy determinations and daily calibration drift
tests must be performed in accordance with procedure 2 in appendix F of
this part.
(o) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the carbon monoxide
emissions limit, you may substitute use of a continuous automated
sampling system for the carbon monoxide annual performance test:
(1) Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a CEMS for measuring
carbon monoxide emissions discharged to the atmosphere and record the
output of the system. The requirements under performance specification
4B of appendix B of this part, the quality assurance procedure 1 of
appendix F of this part and the procedures under Sec. 60.13 must be
followed for installation, evaluation, and operation of the CEMS; and
(2) Following the date that the initial performance test for carbon
monoxide is completed or is required to be completed under Sec.
60.2140, compliance with the carbon monoxide emission limit may be
determined based on the 30-day rolling average of the hourly arithmetic
average emission concentrations, including CEMS data during startup and
shutdown as defined in this subpart, using CEMS outlet data. Except for
CEMS data during startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart, the
1-hour arithmetic averages must be expressed in parts per million
corrected to 7 percent oxygen (dry basis) and used to calculate the 30-
day rolling average emission concentrations. CEMS data during startup
and shutdown, as defined in this subpart, are not corrected to 7
percent oxygen, and are measured at stack oxygen content. The 1-hour
arithmetic averages must be calculated using the data points required
under Sec. 60.13(e)(2).
(p) The owner/operator of an affected source with a bypass stack
shall install, calibrate (to manufacturers' specifications), maintain,
and operate a device or method for measuring the use of the bypass
stack including date, time and duration.
(q) For energy recovery units with a design heat input capacity of
100 MMBtu per hour or greater that do not use a carbon monoxide CEMS,
you must install, operate, and maintain a oxygen analyzer system as
defined in Sec. 60.2265 according to the procedures in paragraphs
(q)(1) through (4) of this section:
(1) The oxygen analyzer system must be installed by the initial
performance test date specified in Sec. 60.2140;
(2) You must operate the oxygen trim system within compliance with
paragraph (q)(3) of this section at all times;
(3) You must maintain the oxygen level such that the 30-day rolling
average that is established as the operating limit for oxygen according
to paragraph (q)(4) of this section is not below the lowest hourly
average oxygen concentration measured during the most recent CO
performance test; and
(4) You must calculate and record a 30-day rolling average oxygen
concentration using equation 19-19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA Reference
Method 19 of Appendix A-7 of this part.
(r) For energy recovery units with annual average heat input rates
greater than or equal to 250 MMBtu/hour and waste-burning kilns, you
must install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a PM CPMS and record the
output of the system as specified in paragraphs (r)(1) through (8) of
this section. If you elect to use a particulate matter CEMS as
specified in paragraph (n) of this section, you are not required to use
a PM CPMS to monitor particulate matter emissions. For other energy
recovery units, you may elect to use PM CPMS operated in accordance
with this section. PM CPMS are suitable in lieu of using other CMS for
monitoring PM compliance (e.g., bag leak detectors, ESP secondary
power, PM scrubber pressure):
(1) Install, calibrate, operate, and maintain your PM CPMS
according to the procedures in your approved site-specific monitoring
plan developed in accordance with Sec. 60.2145(l) and (r)(1)(i)
through (iii) of this section:
(i) The operating principle of the PM CPMS must be based on in-
stack or extractive light scatter, light scintillation, beta
attenuation, or mass accumulation detection of PM in the exhaust gas or
representative sample. The reportable measurement output from the PM
CPMS must be expressed as milliamps or a digital signal equivalent;
(ii) The PM CPMS must have a cycle time (i.e., period required to
complete sampling, measurement, and reporting for each measurement) no
longer than 60 minutes; and
(iii) The PM CPMS must be capable of detecting and responding to
particulate matter concentration increments no greater than 0.5 mg/
actual cubic meter.
(2) During the initial performance test or any such subsequent
performance test that demonstrates compliance with the PM limit, you
must adjust the site-specific operating limit in accordance with the
results of the performance test according to the procedures specified
in Sec. 60.2110.
(3) Collect PM CPMS hourly average output data for all energy
recovery unit or waste-burning kiln operating hours. Express the PM
CPMS output as milliamps or the digital signal equivalent.
(4) Calculate the arithmetic 30-day rolling average of all of the
hourly average PM CPMS output collected during all energy recovery unit
or waste-burning kiln operating hours data (milliamps or digital bits).
(5) You must collect data using the PM CPMS at all times the energy
recovery unit or waste-burning kiln is operating and at the intervals
specified in paragraph (r)(1)(ii) of this section, except for periods
of monitoring system malfunctions, repairs associated with monitoring
system malfunctions, required monitoring system quality assurance or
quality control activities (including, as applicable, calibration
checks and required zero and span adjustments), and any scheduled
maintenance as defined in your site-specific monitoring plan.
(6) You must use all the data collected during all energy recovery
unit or waste-burning kiln operating hours in assessing the compliance
with your operating limit except:
(i) Any data collected during monitoring system malfunctions,
repairs associated with monitoring system malfunctions, or required
monitoring system quality assurance or quality control activities
conducted during monitoring system malfunctions are not used in
calculations (report any such periods in your annual deviation report);
(ii) Any data collected during periods when the monitoring system
is out of control as specified in your site-specific monitoring plan,
repairs associated with periods when the monitoring system is out of
control, or required monitoring system quality assurance or quality
control activities conducted during out-
[[Page 40987]]
of-control periods are not used in calculations (report emissions or
operating levels and report any such periods in your annual deviation
report); and
(iii) Any PM CPMS data recorded during periods of CEMS data during
startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart.
(7) You must record and make available upon request results of PM
CPMS system performance audits, as well as the dates and duration of
periods from when the PM CPMS is out of control until completion of the
corrective actions necessary to return the PM CPMS to operation
consistent with your site-specific monitoring plan.
(8) For any deviation of the 30-day rolling average PM CPMS average
value from the established operating parameter limit, you must:
(i) Within 48 hours of the deviation, visually inspect the air
pollution control device;
(ii) If inspection of the air pollution control device identifies
the cause of the deviation, take corrective action as soon as possible
and return the PM CPMS measurement to within the established value;
(iii) Within 30 days of the deviation or at the time of the annual
compliance test, whichever comes first, conduct a PM emissions
compliance test to determine compliance with the PM emissions limit and
to verify the operation of the emissions control device(s). Within 45
days of the deviation, you must re-establish the CPMS operating limit.
You are not required to conduct additional testing for any deviations
that occur between the time of the original deviation and the PM
emissions compliance test required under this paragraph; and
(iv) PM CPMS deviations leading to more than four required
performance tests in a 12-month process operating period (rolling
monthly) constitute a violation of this subpart.
(s) If you use a dry scrubber to comply with the emission limits of
this subpart, you must monitor the injection rate of each sorbent and
maintain the 3-hour block averages at or above the operating limits
established during the hydrogen chloride performance test.
Sec. 60.2170 Is there a minimum amount of monitoring data I must
obtain?
For each continuous monitoring system required or optionally
allowed under Sec. 60.2165, you must collect data according to this
section:
(a) You must operate the monitoring system and collect data at all
required intervals at all times compliance is required except for
periods of monitoring system malfunctions or out-of-control periods,
repairs associated with monitoring system malfunctions or out-of-
control periods (as specified in 60.2210(o)), and required monitoring
system quality assurance or quality control activities (including, as
applicable, calibration checks and required zero and span adjustments).
A monitoring system malfunction is any sudden, infrequent, not
reasonably preventable failure of the monitoring system to provide
valid data. Monitoring system failures that are caused in part by poor
maintenance or careless operation are not malfunctions. You are
required to effect monitoring system repairs in response to monitoring
system malfunctions or out-of-control periods and to return the
monitoring system to operation as expeditiously as practicable;
(b) You may not use data recorded during monitoring system
malfunctions or out-of-control periods, repairs associated with
monitoring system malfunctions or out-of-control periods, or required
monitoring system quality assurance or control activities in
calculations used to report emissions or operating levels. You must use
all the data collected during all other periods, including data
normalized for above scale readings, in assessing the operation of the
control device and associated control system; and
(c) Except for periods of monitoring system malfunctions or out-of-
control periods, repairs associated with monitoring system malfunctions
or out-of-control periods, and required monitoring system quality
assurance or quality control activities including, as applicable,
calibration checks and required zero and span adjustments, failure to
collect required data is a deviation of the monitoring requirements.

Definitions
Sec. 60.2265 What definitions must I know?
Terms used but not defined in this subpart are defined in the Clean
Air Act and subpart A (General Provisions) of this part.
30-day rolling average means the arithmetic mean of the previous
720 hours of valid operating data. Valid data excludes periods when
this unit is not operating. The 720 hours should be consecutive, but
not necessarily continuous if operations are intermittent.
Administrator means the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency or his/her authorized representative or Administrator
of a State Air Pollution Control Agency.
Air curtain incinerator means an incinerator that operates by
forcefully projecting a curtain of air across an open chamber or pit in
which combustion occurs. Incinerators of this type can be constructed
above or below ground and with or without refractory walls and floor.
(Air curtain incinerators are not to be confused with conventional
combustion devices with enclosed fireboxes and controlled air
technology such as mass burn, modular, and fluidized bed combustors.)
Annual heat input means the heat input for the 12 months preceding
the compliance demonstration.
Auxiliary fuel means natural gas, liquified petroleum gas, fuel
oil, or diesel fuel.

the hours of operation for the 12 months preceding the compliance
demonstration.
Bag leak detection system means an instrument that is capable of
monitoring particulate matter loadings in the exhaust of a fabric
filter (i.e., baghouse) in order to detect bag failures. A bag leak
detection system includes, but is not limited to, an instrument that
operates on triboelectric, light
[[Page 40992]]
scattering, light transmittance, or other principle to monitor relative
particulate matter loadings.
Burn-off oven means any rack reclamation unit, part reclamation
unit, or drum reclamation unit. A burn-off oven is not an incinerator,
waste-burning kiln, an energy recovery unit or a small, remote
incinerator under this subpart.

beginning on: January 1, April 1, July 1, or October 1.
Calendar year means 365 consecutive days starting on January 1 and
ending on December 31.
CEMS data during startup and shutdown means the following:
(1) For incinerators and small remote incinerators: CEMS data
collected during the first hours of a CISWI unit startup from a cold
start until waste is fed to the unit and the hours of operation
following the cessation of waste material being fed to the CISWI unit
during a unit shutdown. For each startup event, the length of time that
CEMS data may be claimed as being CEMS data during startup must be 48
operating hours or less. For each shutdown event, the length of time
that CEMS data may be claimed as being CEMS data during shutdown must
be 24 operating hours or less;
(2) For energy recovery units: CEMS data collected during the
startup or shutdown periods of operation. Startup begins with either
the first-ever firing of fuel in a boiler or process heater for the
purpose of supplying useful thermal energy (such as steam or heat) for
heating, cooling or process purposes, or producing electricity, or the
firing of fuel in a boiler or process heater for any purpose after a
shutdown event. Startup ends four hours after when the boiler or
process heater makes useful thermal energy (such as heat or steam) for
heating, cooling, or process purposes, or generates electricity,
whichever is earlier. Shutdown begins when the boiler or process heater
no longer makes useful thermal energy (such as heat or steam) for
heating, cooling, or process purposes and/or generates electricity or
when no fuel is being fed to the boiler or process heater, whichever is
earlier. Shutdown ends when the boiler or process heater no longer
makes useful thermal energy (such as steam or heat) for heating,
cooling, or process purposes and/or generates electricity, and no fuel
is being combusted in the boiler or process heater; and
(3) For waste-burning kilns: CEMS data collected during the periods
of kiln operation that do not include normal operations. Startup means
the time from when a shutdown kiln first begins firing fuel until it
begins producing clinker. Startup begins when a shutdown kiln turns on
the induced draft fan and begins firing fuel in the main burner.
Startup ends when feed is being continuously introduced into the kiln
for at least 120 minutes or when the feed rate exceeds 60 percent of
the kiln design limitation rate, whichever occurs first. Shutdown means
the cessation of kiln operation. Shutdown begins when feed to the kiln
is halted and ends when continuous kiln rotation ceases.

Commercial and industrial solid waste incineration (CISWI) unit
means any distinct operating unit of any commercial or industrial
facility that combusts, or has combusted in the preceding 6 months, any
solid waste as that term is defined in 40 CFR part 241. If the
operating unit burns materials other than traditional fuels as defined
in Sec. 241.2 that have been discarded, and you do not keep and
produce records as required by Sec. 60.2175(v), the operating unit is
a CISWI unit. While not all CISWI units will include all of the
following components, a CISWI unit includes, but is not limited to, the
solid waste feed system, grate system, flue gas system, waste heat
recovery equipment, if any, and bottom ash system. The CISWI unit does
not include air pollution control equipment or the stack. The CISWI
unit boundary starts at the solid waste hopper (if applicable) and
extends through two areas: The combustion unit flue gas system, which
ends immediately after the last combustion chamber or after the waste
heat recovery equipment, if any; and the combustion unit bottom ash
system, which ends at the truck loading station or similar equipment
that transfers the ash to final disposal. The CISWI unit includes all
ash handling systems connected to the bottom ash handling system.

that is attached to a 55 gallon, open-head drum. The device consists of
a lid, which fits onto and encloses the drum, and a blower that forces
combustion air into the drum in a cyclonic manner to enhance the mixing
of waste material and air. A cyclonic burn barrel is not an
incinerator, a waste-burning kiln, an
[[Page 40993]]
energy recovery unit or a small, remote incinerator under this subpart.
Deviation means any instance in which an affected source subject to
this subpart, or an owner or operator of such a source:

combustion for useful purposes such as steam generation or process
heating.
Energy recovery unit means a combustion unit combusting solid waste
(as that term is defined by the Administrator in 40 CFR part 241) for
energy recovery. Energy recovery units include units that would be
considered boilers and process heaters if they did not combust solid
waste.
Energy recovery unit designed to burn biomass (Biomass) means an
energy recovery unit that burns solid waste, biomass, and non-coal
solid materials but less than 10 percent coal, on a heat input basis on
an annual average, either alone or in combination with liquid waste,
liquid fuel or gaseous fuels.
Energy recovery unit designed to burn coal (Coal) means an energy
recovery unit that burns solid waste and at least 10 percent coal on a
heat input basis on an annual average, either alone or in combination
with liquid waste, liquid fuel or gaseous fuels.

burning kiln, an energy recovery unit or a small, remote incinerator
under this subpart.
Incinerator means any furnace used in the process of combusting
solid waste (as that term is defined by the Administrator in 40 CFR
part 241) for the purpose of reducing the volume of the waste by
removing combustible matter. Incinerator designs include single chamber
and two-chamber.
In-line coal mill means those coal mills using kiln exhaust gases
in their process. Coal mills with a heat source other than the kiln or
coal mills using exhaust gases from the clinker cooler alone are not an
in-line coal mill.
In-line kiln/raw mill means a system in a Portland Cement
production process where a dry kiln system is integrated with the raw
mill so that all or a portion of the kiln exhaust gases are used to
perform the drying operation of the raw mill, with no auxiliary heat
source used. In this system the kiln is capable of operating without
the raw mill operating, but the raw mill cannot operate without the
kiln gases, and consequently, the raw mill does not generate a separate
exhaust gas stream.
Kiln means an oven or furnace, including any associated preheater
or precalciner devices, in-line raw mills, in-line coal mills or alkali
bypasses used for processing a substance by burning, firing or drying.
Kilns include cement kilns that produce clinker by heating limestone
and other materials for subsequent production of Portland Cement.
Because the alkali bypass, in-line raw mill and in-line coal mill are
considered an integral part of the kiln, the kiln emissions limits also
apply to the exhaust of the alkali bypass, in-line raw mill and in-line
coal mill.
Laboratory analysis unit means units that burn samples of materials
for the purpose of chemical or physical analysis. A laboratory analysis
unit is not an incinerator, waste-burning kiln, an energy recovery unit

CISWI unit which may increase the emission rate of any air pollutant to
which a standard applies;
(2) An operational change to the CISWI unit where a new type of
non-hazardous secondary material is being combusted;
(3) A physical change (maintenance activities excluded) to the air

burns the coating overspray off the rack so the rack can be reused.
Raw mill means a ball or tube mill, vertical roller mill or other
size reduction equipment, that is not part of an in-line kiln/raw mill,
used to grind feed to the appropriate size. Moisture may be added or
removed from the feed during the grinding operation. If the raw mill is
used to remove moisture from feed materials, it is also, by definition,
a raw material dryer. The raw mill also includes the air separator
associated with the raw mill.
Reconstruction means rebuilding a CISWI unit and meeting two
criteria:

Subpart DDDD--Emissions Guidelines and Compliance Times for
Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units
Introduction
Sec. 60.2500 What is the purpose of this subpart?
This subpart establishes emission guidelines and compliance
schedules for the control of emissions from commercial and industrial
solid waste incineration (CISWI) units. The pollutants addressed by
these emission guidelines are listed in table 2 of this subpart and
tables 6 through 9 of this subpart. These emission guidelines are
developed in accordance with sections 111(d) and 129 of the Clean Air
Act and subpart B of this part.
Sec. 60.2505 Am I affected by this subpart?
(a) If you are the Administrator of an air quality program in a
state or United States protectorate with one or more existing CISWI
units that meet the criteria in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this
section, you must submit a state plan to U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) that implements the emission guidelines contained in this
subpart.
(b) You must submit a state plan to EPA by December 3, 2001 for
incinerator units that commenced construction on or before November 30,
1999 and that were not modified or reconstructed after June 1, 2001.
(c) You must submit a state plan that meets the requirements of
this subpart and contains the more stringent emission limit for the
respective pollutant in table 6 of this subpart or table 1 of subpart
CCCC of this part to EPA by February 7, 2014 for incinerators that
commenced construction after November 30, 1999, but no later than June
4, 2010, or commenced modification or reconstruction after June 1, 2001
but no later than August 7, 2013.
(d) You must submit a state plan to EPA that meets the requirements
of this subpart and contains the emission limits in tables 7 through 9
of this subpart by February 7, 2014, for CISWI units other than
incinerator units that commenced construction on or before June 4,
2010, or commenced modification or reconstruction after June 4, 2010
but no later than August 7, 2013.
Sec. 60.2510 Is a state plan required for all states?
No. You are not required to submit a state plan if there are no
existing CISWI units in your state, and you submit a negative
declaration letter in place of the state plan.
Sec. 60.2515 What must I include in my state plan?
(a) You must include the nine items described in paragraphs (a)(1)
through (9) of this section in your state plan:
(1) Inventory of affected CISWI units, including those that have
ceased operation but have not been dismantled;
(2) Inventory of emissions from affected CISWI units in your state;
(3) Compliance schedules for each affected CISWI unit;
(4) Emission limitations, operator training and qualification
requirements, a waste management plan, and operating limits for
affected CISWI units that are at least as protective as the emission
guidelines contained in this subpart;
(5) Performance testing, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements;
(6) Certification that the hearing on the state plan was held, a
list of witnesses and their organizational affiliations, if any,
appearing at the hearing, and a brief written summary of each
presentation or written submission;
(7) Provision for state progress reports to EPA;
(8) Identification of enforceable state mechanisms that you
selected for implementing the emission guidelines of this subpart; and
(9) Demonstration of your state's legal authority to carry out the
sections 111(d) and 129 state plan.
(b) Your state plan may deviate from the format and content of the
emission guidelines contained in this subpart. However, if your state
plan does deviate in content, you must demonstrate that your state plan
is at least as protective as the emission guidelines contained in this
subpart. Your state plan must address regulatory applicability,
increments of progress for retrofit, operator training and
qualification, a waste management plan, emission limitations,
performance testing, operating limits, monitoring, recordkeeping and
reporting, and air curtain incinerator requirements.
(c) You must follow the requirements of subpart B of this part
(Adoption and Submittal of State Plans for Designated Facilities) in
your state plan.
Sec. 60.2520 Is there an approval process for my state plan?
Yes. The EPA will review your state plan according to Sec. 60.27.
Sec. 60.2525 What if my state plan is not approvable?
(a) If you do not submit an approvable state plan (or a negative
declaration letter) by December 2, 2002, EPA will
[[Page 41003]]
develop a federal plan according to Sec. 60.27 to implement the
emission guidelines contained in this subpart. Owners and operators of
CISWI units not covered by an approved state plan must comply with the
federal plan. The federal plan is an interim action and will be
automatically withdrawn when your state plan is approved.
(b) If you do not submit an approvable state plan (or a negative
declaration letter) to EPA that meets the requirements of this subpart
and contains the emission limits in tables 6 through 9 of this subpart
for CISWI units that commenced construction on or before June 4, 2010
and incinerator or air curtain incinerator units that commenced
reconstruction or modification on or after June 1, 2001 but no later
than August 7, 2013, then EPA will develop a federal plan according to
Sec. 60.27 to implement the emission guidelines contained in this
subpart. Owners and operators of CISWI units not covered by an approved
state plan must comply with the federal plan. The federal plan is an
interim action and will be automatically withdrawn when your state plan
is approved.
Sec. 60.2530 Is there an approval process for a negative declaration
letter?
No. The EPA has no formal review process for negative declaration
letters. Once your negative declaration letter has been received, EPA
will place a copy in the public docket and publish a notice in the
Federal Register. If, at a later date, an existing CISWI unit is found
in your state, the federal plan implementing the emission guidelines
contained in this subpart would automatically apply to that CISWI unit
until your state plan is approved.
Sec. 60.2535 What compliance schedule must I include in my state
plan?
(a) For CISWI units in the incinerator subcategory and air curtain
incinerators that commenced construction on or before November 30,
1999, your state plan must include compliance schedules that require
CISWI units in the incinerator subcategory and air curtain incinerators
to achieve final compliance as expeditiously as practicable after
approval of the state plan but not later than the earlier of the two
dates specified in paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this section:
(1) December 1, 2005; and
(2) Three years after the effective date of state plan approval.
(b) For CISWI units in the incinerator subcategory and air curtain
incinerators that commenced construction after November 30, 1999, but
on or before June 4, 2010 or that commenced reconstruction or
modification on or after June 1, 2001 but no later than August 7, 2013,
and for CISWI units in the small remote incinerator, energy recovery
unit, and waste-burning kiln subcategories that commenced construction
before June 4, 2010, your state plan must include compliance schedules
that require CISWI units to achieve final compliance as expeditiously
as practicable after approval of the state plan but not later than the
earlier of the two dates specified in paragraphs (b)(1) and (2) of this
section:
(1) February 7, 2018; and
(2) Three years after the effective date of State plan approval.
(c) For compliance schedules more than 1 year following the
effective date of State plan approval, State plans must include dates
for enforceable increments of progress as specified in Sec. 60.2580.
Sec. 60.2540 Are there any State plan requirements for this subpart
that apply instead of the requirements specified in subpart B?
Yes. Subpart B establishes general requirements for developing and
processing section 111(d) plans. This subpart applies instead of the
requirements in subpart B of this part for paragraphs (a) and (b) of
this section:
(a) State plans developed to implement this subpart must be as
protective as the emission guidelines contained in this subpart. State
plans must require all CISWI units to comply by the dates specified in
Sec. 60.2535. This applies instead of the option for case-by-case less
stringent emission standards and longer compliance schedules in Sec.
60.24(f); and
(b) State plans developed to implement this subpart are required to
include two increments of progress for the affected CISWI units. These
two minimum increments are the final control plan submittal date and
final compliance date in Sec. 60.21(h)(1) and (5). This applies
instead of the requirement of Sec. 60.24(e)(1) that would require a
State plan to include all five increments of progress for all CISWI
units.
Sec. 60.2541 In lieu of a state plan submittal, are there other
acceptable option(s) for a state to meet its Clean Air Act section
111(d)/129(b)(2) obligations?
Yes, a state may meet its Clean Air Act section 111(d)/129
obligations by submitting an acceptable written request for delegation
of the federal plan that meets the requirements of this section. This
is the only other option for a state to meet its Clean Air Act section
111(d)/129 obligations.
(a) An acceptable federal plan delegation request must include the
following:
(1) A demonstration of adequate resources and legal authority to
administer and enforce the federal plan;
(2) The items under Sec. 60.2515(a)(1), (2) and (7);
(3) Certification that the hearing on the state delegation request,
similar to the hearing for a state plan submittal, was held, a list of
witnesses and their organizational affiliations, if any, appearing at
the hearing, and a brief written summary of each presentation or
written submission; and
(4) A commitment to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement with the
Regional Administrator who sets forth the terms, conditions, and
effective date of the delegation and that serves as the mechanism for
the transfer of authority. Additional guidance and information is given
in EPA's Delegation Manual, Item 7-139, Implementation and Enforcement
of 111(d)(2) and 111(d)/(2)/129(b)(3) federal plans.
(b) A state with an already approved CISWI Clean Air Act section
111(d)/129 state plan is not precluded from receiving EPA approval of a
delegation request for the revised federal plan, providing the
requirements of paragraph (a) of this section are met, and at the time
of the delegation request, the state also requests withdrawal of EPA's
previous state plan approval.
(c) A state's Clean Air Act section 111(d)/129 obligations are
separate from its obligations under Title V of the Clean Air Act.
Sec. 60.2542 What authorities will not be delegated to state, local,
or tribal agencies?
The authorities listed under Sec. 60.2030(c) will not be delegated
to state, local, or tribal agencies.
Sec. 60.2545 Does this subpart directly affect CISWI unit owners and
operators in my state?
(a) No. This subpart does not directly affect CISWI unit owners and
operators in your state. However, CISWI unit owners and operators must
comply with the state plan you develop to implement the emission
guidelines contained in this subpart. States may choose to incorporate
the model rule text directly in their state plan.
(b) If you do not submit an approvable plan to implement and
enforce the guidelines contained in this subpart for CISWI units that
commenced construction before November 30, 1999 by December 2, 2002,
EPA will implement and enforce a federal plan, as provided in Sec.
60.2525, to ensure that each unit within your state reaches
[[Page 41004]]
compliance with all the provisions of this subpart by December 1, 2005.
(c) If you do not submit an approvable plan to implement and
enforce the guidelines contained in this subpart by February 7, 2014,
for CISWI units that commenced construction on or before June 4, 2010,
EPA will implement and enforce a federal plan, as provided in Sec.
60.2525, to ensure that each unit within your state that commenced
construction on or before June 4, 2010, reaches compliance with all the
provisions of this subpart by February 7, 2018.

(a) The model rule is the portion of these emission guidelines
(Sec. Sec. 60.2575 through 60.2875) that addresses the
[[Page 41005]]
regulatory requirements applicable to CISWI units. The model rule
provides these requirements in regulation format. You must develop a
state plan that is at least as protective as the model rule. You may
use the model rule language as part of your state plan. Alternative
language may be used in your state plan if you demonstrate that the
alternative language is at least as protective as the model rule
contained in this subpart.
(b) In the model rule of Sec. Sec. 60.2575 to 60.2875, ``you''
means the owner or operator of a CISWI unit.
Sec. 60.2565 How does the model rule relate to the required elements
of my state plan?
Use the model rule to satisfy the state plan requirements specified
in Sec. 60.2515(a)(4) and (5).

(5) Procedures for operating the incinerator and associated air
pollution control systems within the standards established under this
subpart;
(6) Monitoring procedures for demonstrating compliance with the
incinerator operating limits;
(7) Reporting and recordkeeping procedures;
(8) The waste management plan required under Sec. Sec. 60.2620
through 60.2630;
(9) Procedures for handling ash; and
(10) A list of the wastes burned during the performance test.
(b) You must establish a program for reviewing the information
listed in paragraph (a) of this section with each incinerator operator:
(1) The initial review of the information listed in paragraph (a)
of this section must be conducted by the later of the three dates
specified in paragraphs (b)(1)(i) through (iii) of this section:
(i) The final compliance date (Increment 2);
(ii) Six months after CISWI unit startup; and
(iii) Six months after being assigned to operate the CISWI unit.
(2) Subsequent annual reviews of the information listed in
paragraph (a) of this section must be conducted no later than 12 months
following the previous review.
(c) You must also maintain the information specified in paragraphs
(c)(1) through (3) of this section:
(1) Records showing the names of CISWI unit operators who have
completed review of the information in Sec. 60.2660(a) as required by
Sec. 60.2660(b), including the date of the initial review and all
subsequent annual reviews;
(2) Records showing the names of the CISWI operators who have
completed the operator training requirements under Sec. 60.2635, met
the criteria for qualification under Sec. 60.2645, and maintained or
renewed their qualification under Sec. 60.2650 or Sec. 60.2655.
Records must include documentation of training, the dates of the
initial refresher training, and the dates of their qualification and
all subsequent renewals of such qualifications; and
(3) For each qualified operator, the phone and/or pager number at
which they can be reached during operating hours.
Sec. 60.2665 What if all the qualified operators are temporarily not
accessible?
If all qualified operators are temporarily not accessible (i.e.,
not at the facility and not able to be at the facility within 1 hour),
you must meet one of the two criteria specified in paragraphs (a) and
(b) of this section, depending on the length of time that a qualified
operator is not accessible:
[[Page 41007]]
(a) When all qualified operators are not accessible for more than 8
hours, but less than 2 weeks, the CISWI unit may be operated by other
plant personnel familiar with the operation of the CISWI unit who have
completed a review of the information specified in Sec. 60.2660(a)
within the past 12 months. However, you must record the period when all
qualified operators were not accessible and include this deviation in
the annual report as specified under Sec. 60.2770;
(b) When all qualified operators are not accessible for 2 weeks or
more, you must take the two actions that are described in paragraphs
(b)(1) and (2) of this section:
(1) Notify the Administrator of this deviation in writing within 10
days. In the notice, state what caused this deviation, what you are
doing to ensure that a qualified operator is accessible, and when you
anticipate that a qualified operator will be accessible; and
(2) Submit a status report to the Administrator every 4 weeks
outlining what you are doing to ensure that a qualified operator is
accessible, stating when you anticipate that a qualified operator will
be accessible and requesting approval from the Administrator to
continue operation of the CISWI unit. You must submit the first status
report 4 weeks after you notify the Administrator of the deviation
under paragraph (b)(1) of this section. If the Administrator notifies
you that your request to continue operation of the CISWI unit is
disapproved, the CISWI unit may continue operation for 90 days, then
must cease operation. Operation of the unit may resume if you meet the
two requirements in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) and (ii) of this section:
(i) A qualified operator is accessible as required under Sec.
60.2635(a); and
(ii) You notify the Administrator that a qualified operator is
accessible and that you are resuming operation.
Model Rule--Emission Limitations and Operating Limits
Sec. 60.2670 What emission limitations must I meet and by when?
(a) You must meet the emission limitations for each CISWI unit,
including bypass stack or vent, specified in table 2 of this subpart or
tables 6 through 9 of this subpart by the final compliance date under
the approved state plan, federal plan, or delegation, as applicable.
The emission limitations apply at all times the unit is operating
including and not limited to startup, shutdown, or malfunction.
(b) Units that do not use wet scrubbers must maintain opacity to
less than or equal to the percent opacity (three 1-hour blocks
consisting of ten 6-minute average opacity values) specified in table 2
of this subpart, as applicable.
Sec. 60.2675 What operating limits must I meet and by when?
(a) If you use a wet scrubber(s) to comply with the emission
limitations, you must establish operating limits for up to four
operating parameters (as specified in table 3 of this subpart) as
described in paragraphs (a)(1) through (4) of this section during the
initial performance test:
(1) Maximum charge rate, calculated using one of the two different
procedures in paragraph (a)(1)(i) or (ii) of this section, as
appropriate:
(i) For continuous and intermittent units, maximum charge rate is
110 percent of the average charge rate measured during the most recent
performance test demonstrating compliance with all applicable emission
limitations; and
(ii) For batch units, maximum charge rate is 110 percent of the
daily charge rate measured during the most recent performance test
demonstrating compliance with all applicable emission limitations.
(2) Minimum pressure drop across the wet particulate matter
scrubber, which is calculated as the lowest 1-hour average pressure
drop across the wet scrubber measured during the most recent
performance test demonstrating compliance with the particulate matter
emission limitations; or minimum amperage to the wet scrubber, which is
calculated as the lowest 1-hour average amperage to the wet scrubber
measured during the most recent performance test demonstrating
compliance with the particulate matter emission limitations.
(3) Minimum scrubber liquid flow rate, which is calculated as the
lowest 1-hour average liquid flow rate at the inlet to the wet acid gas
or particulate matter scrubber measured during the most recent
performance test demonstrating compliance with all applicable emission
limitations.
(4) Minimum scrubber liquor pH, which is calculated as the lowest
1-hour average liquor pH at the inlet to the wet acid gas scrubber
measured during the most recent performance test demonstrating
compliance with the HCl emission limitation.
(b) You must meet the operating limits established during the
initial performance test on the date the initial performance test is
required or completed (whichever is earlier). You must conduct an
initial performance evaluation of each continuous monitoring system and
continuous parameter monitoring system within 60 days of installation
of the monitoring system.
(c) If you use a fabric filter to comply with the emission
limitations and you do not use a PM CPMS for monitoring PM compliance,
you must operate each fabric filter system such that the bag leak
detection system alarm does not sound more than 5 percent of the
operating time during a 6-month period. In calculating this operating
time percentage, if inspection of the fabric filter demonstrates that
no corrective action is required, no alarm time is counted. If
corrective action is required, each alarm shall be counted as a minimum
of 1 hour. If you take longer than 1 hour to initiate corrective
action, the alarm time shall be counted as the actual amount of time
taken by you to initiate corrective action.
(d) If you use an electrostatic precipitator to comply with the
emission limitations and you do not use a PM CPMS for monitoring PM
compliance, you must measure the (secondary) voltage and amperage of
the electrostatic precipitator collection plates during the particulate
matter performance test. Calculate the average electric power value
(secondary voltage x secondary current = secondary electric power) for
each test run. The operating limit for the electrostatic precipitator
is calculated as the lowest 1-hour average secondary electric power
measured during the most recent performance test demonstrating
compliance with the particulate matter emission limitations.
(e) If you use activated carbon sorbent injection to comply with
the emission limitations, you must measure the sorbent flow rate during
the performance testing. The operating limit for the carbon sorbent
injection is calculated as the lowest 1-hour average sorbent flow rate
measured during the most recent performance test demonstrating
compliance with the mercury emission limitations. For energy recovery
units, when your unit operates at lower loads, multiply your sorbent
injection rate by the load fraction, as defined in this subpart, to
determine the required injection rate (e.g., for 50 percent load,
multiply the injection rate operating limit by 0.5).
(f) If you use selective noncatalytic reduction to comply with the
emission limitations, you must measure the charge rate, the secondary
chamber temperature (if applicable to your CISWI unit), and the reagent
flow rate during the nitrogen oxides performance testing. The operating
limits for the selective noncatalytic reduction are calculated as the
highest 1-hour average charge rate, lowest secondary chamber
temperature,
[[Page 41008]]
and lowest reagent flow rate measured during the most recent
performance test demonstrating compliance with the nitrogen oxides
emission limitations.
(g) If you use a dry scrubber to comply with the emission
limitations, you must measure the injection rate of each sorbent during
the performance testing. The operating limit for the injection rate of
each sorbent is calculated as the lowest 1-hour average injection rate
of each sorbent measured during the most recent performance test
demonstrating compliance with the hydrogen chloride emission
limitations. For energy recovery units, when your unit operates at
lower loads, multiply your sorbent injection rate by the load fraction,
as defined in this subpart, to determine the required injection rate
(e.g., for 50 percent load, multiply the injection rate operating limit
by 0.5).
(h) If you do not use a wet scrubber, electrostatic precipitator,
or fabric filter to comply with the emission limitations, and if you do
not determine compliance with your particulate matter emission
limitation with either a particulate matter CEMS or a particulate
matter CPMS, you must maintain opacity to less than or equal to ten
percent opacity (1-hour block average).
(i) If you use a PM CPMS to demonstrate compliance, you must
establish your PM CPMS operating limit and determine compliance with it
according to paragraphs (i)(1) through (5) of this section:
(1) During the initial performance test or any such subsequent
performance test that demonstrates compliance with the PM limit, record
all hourly average output values (milliamps, or the digital signal
equivalent) from the PM CPMS for the periods corresponding to the test
runs (e.g., three 1-hour average PM CPMS output values for three 1-hour
test runs):
(i) Your PM CPMS must provide a 4-20 milliamp output, or the
digital signal equivalent, and the establishment of its relationship to
manual reference method measurements must be determined in units of
milliamps or digital bits;
(ii) Your PM CPMS operating range must be capable of reading PM
concentrations from zero to a level equivalent to at least two times
your allowable emission limit. If your PM CPMS is an auto-ranging
instrument capable of multiple scales, the primary range of the
instrument must be capable of reading PM concentration from zero to a
level equivalent to two times your allowable emission limit; and
(iii) During the initial performance test or any such subsequent
performance test that demonstrates compliance with the PM limit, record
and average all milliamp output values, or their digital equivalent,
from the PM CPMS for the periods corresponding to the compliance test
runs (e.g., average all your PM CPMS output values for three
corresponding 2-hour Method 5I test runs).
(2) If the average of your three PM performance test runs are below
75 percent of your PM emission limit, you must calculate an operating
limit by establishing a relationship of PM CPMS signal to PM
concentration using the PM CPMS instrument zero, the average PM CPMS
output values corresponding to the three compliance test runs, and the
average PM concentration from the Method 5 or performance test with the
procedures in (i)(1)through (5) of this section:
(i) Determine your instrument zero output with one of the following
procedures:
(A) Zero point data for in-situ instruments should be obtained by
removing the instrument from the stack and monitoring ambient air on a
test bench;
(B) Zero point data for extractive instruments should be obtained
by removing the extractive probe from the stack and drawing in clean
ambient air;
(C) The zero point can also can be established obtained by
performing manual reference method measurements when the flue gas is
free of PM emissions or contains very low PM concentrations (e.g., when
your process is not operating, but the fans are operating or your
source is combusting only natural gas) and plotting these with the
compliance data to find the zero intercept; and
(D) If none of the steps in paragraphs (i)(2)(i)(A) through (C) of
this section are possible, you must use a zero output value provided by
the manufacturer.
(ii) Determine your PM CPMS instrument average in milliamps, or the
digital equivalent, and the average of your corresponding three PM
compliance test runs, using equation 1:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.008
Where:
X1 = the PM CPMS output data points for the three runs
constituting the performance test,
Y1 = the PM concentration value for the three runs
constituting the performance test, and
n = the number of data points.
(iii) With your instrument zero expressed in milliamps, or the
digital equivalent, your three run average PM CPMS milliamp value, or
its digital equivalent, and your three run average PM concentration
from your three compliance tests, determine a relationship of mg/dscm
per milliamp or digital signal equivalent, with equation 2:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.009
Where:
R = the relative mg/dscm per milliamp, or the digital equivalent,
for your PM CPMS,
Y1 = the three run average mg/dscm PM concentration,
X1 = the three run average milliamp output, or the
digital equivalent, from you PM CPMS, and
z = the milliamp or digital signal equivalent of your instrument
zero determined from paragraph (i)(2)(i) of this section.
(iv) Determine your source specific 30-day rolling average
operating limit using the mg/dscm per milliamp value, or per digital
signal equivalent, from equation 2 in equation 3, below. This sets your
operating limit at the PM CPMS output value corresponding to 75 percent
of your emission limit:
[[Page 41009]]
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.010
Where:
Ol = the operating limit for your PM CPMS on a 30-day
rolling average, in milliamps or their digital signal equivalent,
L = your source emission limit expressed in mg/dscm,
z = your instrument zero in milliamps or digital equivalent,
determined from paragraph (i)(2)(i) of this section, and
R = the relative mg/dscm per milliamp, or per digital signal output
equivalent, for your PM CPMS, from equation 2.
(3) If the average of your three PM compliance test runs is at or
above 75 percent of your PM emission limit you must determine your
operating limit by averaging the PM CPMS milliamp or digital signal
output corresponding to your three PM performance test runs that
demonstrate compliance with the emission limit using equation 4 and you
must submit all compliance test and PM CPMS data according to the
reporting requirements in paragraph (i)(5) of this section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.011
Where:
X1 = the PM CPMS data points for all runs i,
n = the number of data points, and
Oh = your site specific operating limit, in milliamps or
digital signal equivalent.
(4) To determine continuous compliance, you must record the PM CPMS
output data for all periods when the process is operating and the PM
CPMS is not out-of-control. You must demonstrate continuous compliance
by using all quality-assured hourly average data collected by the PM
CPMS for all operating hours to calculate the arithmetic average
operating parameter in units of the operating limit (e.g., milliamps or
digital signal bits, PM concentration, raw data signal) on a 30-day
rolling average basis.
(5) For PM performance test reports used to set a PM CPMS operating
limit, the electronic submission of the test report must also include
the make and model of the PM CPMS instrument, serial number of the
instrument, analytical principle of the instrument (e.g., beta
attenuation), span of the instruments primary analytical range,
milliamp or digital signal value equivalent to the instrument zero
output, technique by which this zero value was determined, and the
average milliamp or digital signals corresponding to each PM compliance
test run.
Sec. 60.2680 What if I do not use a wet scrubber, fabric filter,
activated carbon injection, selective noncatalytic reduction, an
electrostatic precipitator, or a dry scrubber to comply with the
emission limitations?
(a) If you use an air pollution control device other than a wet
scrubber, activated carbon injection, selective noncatalytic reduction,
fabric filter, an electrostatic precipitator, or a dry scrubber or
limit emissions in some other manner, including mass balances, to
comply with the emission limitations under Sec. 60.2670, you must
petition the EPA Administrator for specific operating limits to be
established during the initial performance test and continuously
monitored thereafter. You must submit the petition at least sixty days
before the performance test is scheduled to begin. Your petition must
include the five items listed in paragraphs (a)(1) through (5) of this
section:
(1) Identification of the specific parameters you propose to use as
additional operating limits;
(2) A discussion of the relationship between these parameters and
emissions of regulated pollutants, identifying how emissions of
regulated pollutants change with changes in these parameters and how
limits on these parameters will serve to limit emissions of regulated
pollutants;
(3) A discussion of how you will establish the upper and/or lower
values for these parameters which will establish the operating limits
on these parameters;
(4) A discussion identifying the methods you will use to measure
and the instruments you will use to monitor these parameters, as well
as the relative accuracy and precision of these methods and
instruments; and
(5) A discussion identifying the frequency and methods for
recalibrating the instruments you will use for monitoring these
parameters.
(b) [Reserved]
Model Rule--Performance Testing
Sec. 60.2690 How do I conduct the initial and annual performance
test?
(a) All performance tests must consist of a minimum of three test

(b) You must document that the waste burned during the performance
test is representative of the waste burned under normal operating
conditions by maintaining a log of the quantity of waste burned (as
required in Sec. 60.2740(b)(1)) and the types of waste burned during
the performance test.
(c) All performance tests must be conducted using the minimum run
duration specified in tables 2 and 6 through 9 of this subpart.
(d) Method 1 of appendix A of this part must be used to select the

(f) All pollutant concentrations, except for opacity, must be
adjusted to 7 percent oxygen using equation 5 of this section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.012
[[Page 41010]]
Where:
Cadj = pollutant concentration adjusted to 7 percent
oxygen;
Cmeas = pollutant concentration measured on a dry basis;
(20.9-7) = 20.9 percent oxygen-7 percent oxygen (defined oxygen
correction basis);
20.9 = oxygen concentration in air, percent; and
%O2 = oxygen concentration measured on a dry basis,
percent.
(g) You must determine dioxins/furans toxic equivalency by
following the procedures in paragraphs (g)(1) through (4) of this
section:
(1) Measure the concentration of each dioxin/furan tetra- through
octa-isomer emitted using EPA Method 23 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A;
(2) Quantify isomers meeting identification criteria 2, 3, 4, and 5
in Section 5.3.2.5 of Method 23, regardless of whether the isomers meet
identification criteria 1 and 7. You must quantify the isomers per
Section 9.0 of Method 23. [Note: You may reanalyze the sample aliquot
or split to reduce the number of isomers not meeting identification
criteria 1 or 7 of Section 5.3.2.5.];
(3) For each dioxin/furan (tetra- through octa-chlorinated) isomer
measured in accordance with paragraph (g)(1) and (2) of this section,
multiply the isomer concentration by its corresponding toxic
equivalency factor specified in table 4 of this subpart; and
(4) Sum the products calculated in accordance with paragraph (g)(3)
of this section to obtain the total concentration of dioxins/furans
emitted in terms of toxic equivalency.
(h) Method 22 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7 must be used to
determine compliance with the fugitive ash emission limit in table 2 of
this subpart or tables 6 through 9 of this subpart.

determine compliance with the opacity limit using Method 9 at 40 CFR
part 60, appendix A-4, based on three 1-hour blocks consisting of ten
6-minute average opacity values, unless you are required to install a
continuous opacity monitoring system, consistent with Sec. 60.2710 and
Sec. 60.2730.

(j)(1) and (2) of this section to obtain the total concentration of
dioxins/furans emitted in terms of total mass basis.
Sec. 60.2695 How are the performance test data used?
You use results of performance tests to demonstrate compliance with
the emission limitations in table 2 of this subpart or tables 6 through
9 of this subpart.
Model Rule--Initial Compliance Requirements
Sec. 60.2700 How do I demonstrate initial compliance with the amended
emission limitations and establish the operating limits?
You must conduct a performance test, as required under Sec. Sec.
60.2670 and 60.2690, to determine compliance with the emission
limitations in table 2 of this subpart and tables 6 through 9 of this
subpart, to establish compliance with any opacity operating limits in
Sec. 60.2675, to establish the kiln-specific emission limit in Sec.
60.2710(y), as applicable, and to establish operating limits using the
procedures in Sec. 60.2675 or Sec. 60.2680. The performance test must
be conducted using the test methods listed in table 2 of this subpart
and tables 6 through 9 of this subpart and the procedures in Sec.
60.2690. The use of the bypass stack during a performance test shall
invalidate the performance test. You must conduct a performance
evaluation of each continuous monitoring system within 60 days of
installation of the monitoring system.
Sec. 60.2705 By what date must I conduct the initial performance
test?
(a) The initial performance test must be conducted no later than
180 days after your final compliance date. Your final compliance date
is specified in table 1 of this subpart.
(b) If you commence or recommence combusting a solid waste at an
existing combustion unit at any commercial or industrial facility and
you conducted a test consistent with the provisions of this subpart
while combusting the given solid waste within the 6 months preceding
the reintroduction of that solid waste in the combustion chamber, you
do not need to retest until 6 months from the date you reintroduce that
solid waste.
(c) If you commence or recommence combusting a solid waste at an
existing combustion unit at any commercial or industrial facility and
you have not conducted a performance test consistent with the
provisions of this subpart while combusting the given solid waste
within the 6 months preceding the reintroduction of that solid waste in
the combustion chamber, you must conduct a performance test within 60
days from the date you reintroduce solid waste.
Sec. 60.2706 By what date must I conduct the initial air pollution
control device inspection?
(a) The initial air pollution control device inspection must be
conducted within 60 days after installation of the control device and
the associated CISWI unit reaches the charge rate at which it will
operate, but no later than 180 days after the final compliance date for
meeting the amended emission limitations.
(b) Within 10 operating days following an air pollution control
device inspection, all necessary repairs must be completed unless the
owner or operator obtains written approval from the state agency
establishing a date whereby all necessary repairs of the designated
facility must be completed.
Model Rule--Continuous Compliance Requirements
Sec. 60.2710 How do I demonstrate continuous compliance with the
amended emission limitations and the operating limits?
(a) Compliance with standards. (1) The emission standards and
operating requirements set forth in this subpart apply at all times.
(2) If you cease combusting solid waste you may opt to remain
subject to the provisions of this subpart. Consistent with the
definition of CISWI unit, you are subject to the requirements of this
subpart at least 6 months following the last date of solid waste
combustion. Solid waste combustion is ceased when solid waste is not in
the combustion chamber (i.e., the solid waste feed to the combustor has
been cut off for a period of time not less than the solid waste
residence time).
(3) If you cease combusting solid waste you must be in compliance
with any newly applicable standards on the effective date of the waste-
to-fuel switch. The effective date of the waste-to-fuel switch is a
date selected by you, that must be at least 6 months from the date that
you ceased combusting solid waste, consistent with Sec. 60.2710(a)(2).
Your source must remain in compliance
[[Page 41011]]
with this subpart until the effective date of the waste-to-fuel switch.
(4) If you own or operate an existing commercial or industrial
combustion unit that combusted a fuel or non-waste material, and you
commence or recommence combustion of solid waste, you are subject to
the provisions of this subpart as of the first day you introduce or
reintroduce solid waste to the combustion chamber, and this date
constitutes the effective date of the fuel-to-waste switch. You must
complete all initial compliance demonstrations for any Section 112
standards that are applicable to your facility before you commence or
recommence combustion of solid waste. You must provide 30 days prior
notice of the effective date of the waste-to-fuel switch. The
notification must identify:
(i) The name of the owner or operator of the CISWI unit, the
location of the source, the emissions unit(s) that will cease burning
solid waste, and the date of the notice;
(ii) The currently applicable subcategory under this subpart, and
any 40 CFR part 63 subpart and subcategory that will be applicable
after you cease combusting solid waste;
(iii) The fuel(s), non-waste material(s) and solid waste(s) the
CISWI unit is currently combusting and has combusted over the past 6
months, and the fuel(s) or non-waste materials the unit will commence
combusting;
(iv) The date on which you became subject to the currently
applicable emission limits;
(v) The date upon which you will cease combusting solid waste, and
the date (if different) that you intend for any new requirements to
become applicable (i.e., the effective date of the waste-to-fuel
switch), consistent with paragraphs (a)(2) and (3) of this section.
(5) All air pollution control equipment necessary for compliance
with any newly applicable emissions limits which apply as a result of
the cessation or commencement or recommencement of combusting solid
waste must be installed and operational as of the effective date of the
waste-to-fuel, or fuel-to-waste switch.
(6) All monitoring systems necessary for compliance with any newly
applicable monitoring requirements which apply as a result of the
cessation or commencement or recommencement of combusting solid waste
must be installed and operational as of the effective date of the
waste-to-fuel, or fuel-to-waste switch. All calibration and drift
checks must be performed as of the effective date of the waste-to-fuel,
or fuel-to-waste switch. Relative accuracy tests must be performed as
of the performance test deadline for PM CEMS (if PM CEMS are elected to
demonstrate continuous compliance with the particulate matter emission
limits). Relative accuracy testing for other CEMS need not be repeated
if that testing was previously performed consistent with section 112
monitoring requirements or monitoring requirements under this subpart.
(b) You must conduct an annual performance test for the pollutants
listed in table 2 of this subpart or tables 6 through 9 of this subpart
and opacity for each CISWI unit as required under Sec. 60.2690. The
annual performance test must be conducted using the test methods listed
in table 2 of this subpart or tables 6 through 9 of this subpart and
the procedures in Sec. 60.2690. Opacity must be measured using EPA
Reference Method 9 at 40 CFR part 60. Annual performance tests are not
required if you use CEMS or continuous opacity monitoring systems to
determine compliance.
(c) You must continuously monitor the operating parameters
specified in Sec. 60.2675 or established under Sec. 60.2680 and as
specified in Sec. 60.2735. Operation above the established maximum or
below the established minimum operating limits constitutes a deviation
from the established operating limits. Three-hour block average values
are used to determine compliance (except for baghouse leak detection
system alarms) unless a different averaging period is established under
Sec. 60.2680 or, for energy recovery units, where the averaging time
for each operating parameter is a 30-day rolling, calculated each hour
as the average of the previous 720 operating hours over the previous 30
days of operation. Operation above the established maximum, below the
established minimum, or outside the allowable range of the operating
limits specified in paragraph (a) of this section constitutes a
deviation from your operating limits established under this subpart,
except during performance tests conducted to determine compliance with
the emission and operating limits or to establish new operating limits.
Operating limits are confirmed or reestablished during performance
tests.
(d) You must burn only the same types of waste and fuels used to
establish subcategory applicability (for ERUs) and operating limits
during the performance test.
(e) For energy recovery units, incinerators, and small remote
units, you must perform annual visual emissions test for ash handling.
(f) For energy recovery units, you must conduct an annual
performance test for opacity using EPA Reference Method 9 at 40 CFR
part 60 (except where particulate matter continuous monitoring system
or continuous parameter monitoring systems are used) and the pollutants
listed in table 7 of this subpart.
(g) For facilities using a CEMS to demonstrate compliance with the
carbon monoxide emission limit, compliance with the carbon monoxide
emission limit may be demonstrated by using the CEMS according to the
following requirements:
(1) You must measure emissions according to Sec. 60.13 to
calculate 1-hour arithmetic averages, corrected to 7 percent oxygen.
CEMS data during startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart, are
not corrected to 7 percent oxygen, and are measured at stack oxygen
content. You must demonstrate initial compliance with the carbon
monoxide emissions limit using a 30-day rolling average of the 1-hour
arithmetic average emission concentrations, including CEMS data during
startup and shutdown as defined in this subpart, calculated using
equation 19-19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA Reference Method 19 at 40 CFR
part 60, appendix A-7.
(2) Operate the carbon monoxide continuous emissions monitoring
system in accordance with the applicable requirements of performance
specification 4A of appendix B and the quality assurance procedures of
appendix F of this part.
(h) Coal and liquid/gas energy recovery units with annual average
heat input rates greater than 250 MMBtu/hr may elect to demonstrate
continuous compliance with the particulate matter emissions limit using
a particulate matter CEMS according to the procedures in Sec.
60.2730(n) instead of the continuous parameter monitoring system
specified in Sec. 60.2710(i). Coal and liquid/gas energy recovery
units with annual average heat input rates less than 250 MMBtu/hr,
incinerators, and small remote incinerators may also elect to
demonstrate compliance using a particulate matter CEMS according to the
procedures in Sec. 60.2730(n) instead of particulate matter testing
with EPA Method 5 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-3 and, if applicable,
the continuous opacity monitoring requirements in paragraph (i) of this
section.
(i) For energy recovery units with annual average heat input rates
greater than or equal to 10 MMBTU/hour but less than 250 MMBtu/hr you
must install, operate, certify and maintain a continuous opacity
monitoring system (COMS) according to the procedures in Sec. 60.2730.
[[Page 41012]]
(j) For waste-burning kilns, you must conduct an annual performance
test for the pollutants (except mercury and particulate matter, and
hydrogen chloride if no acid gas wet scrubber is used) listed in table
8 of this subpart. If you do not use an acid gas wet scrubber or dry
scrubber, you must determine compliance with the hydrogen chloride
emissions limit according to the requirements in paragraph (j)(1) of
this section. You must determine compliance with the mercury emissions
limit using a mercury CEMS according to paragraph (j)(2) of this
section. You must determine compliance with particulate matter using
CPMS:
(1) If you monitor compliance with the HCl emissions limit by
operating an HCl CEMS, you must do so in accordance with Performance
Specification 15 (PS 15) of appendix B to 40 CFR part 60, or, PS 18 of
appendix B to 40 CFR part 60. You must operate, maintain, and quality
assure a HCl CEMS installed and certified under PS 15 according to the
quality assurance requirements in Procedure 1 of appendix F to 40 CFR
part 60 except that the Relative Accuracy Test Audit requirements of
Procedure 1 must be replaced with the validation requirements and
criteria of sections 11.1.1 and 12.0 of PS 15. You must operate,
maintain and quality assure a HCl CEMS installed and certified under PS
18 according to the quality assurance requirements in Procedure 6 of
appendix F to 40 CFR part 60. For any performance specification that
you use, you must use Method 321 of appendix A to 40 CFR part 63 as the
reference test method for conducting relative accuracy testing. The
span value and calibration requirements in paragraphs (j)(1)(i) and
(ii) of this section apply to all HCl CEMS used under this subpart:
(i) You must use a measurement span value for any HCl CEMS of 0-10
ppmvw unless the monitor is installed on a kiln without an inline raw
mill. Kilns without an inline raw mill may use a higher span value
sufficient to quantify all expected emissions concentrations. The HCl
CEMS data recorder output range must include the full range of expected
HCl concentration values which would include those expected during
``mill off'' conditions. The corresponding data recorder range shall be
documented in the site-specific monitoring plan and associated records;
and
(ii) In order to quality assure data measured above the span value,
you must use one of the three options in paragraphs (j)(1)(ii)(A)
through (C) of this section:
(A) Include a second span that encompasses the HCl emission
concentrations expected to be encountered during ``mill off''
conditions. This second span may be rounded to a multiple of 5 ppm of
total HCl. The requirements of the appropriate HCl monitor performance
specification shall be followed for this second span with the exception
that a RATA with the mill off is not required;
(B) Quality assure any data above the span value by proving
instrument linearity beyond the span value established in paragraph
(j)(1)(i) of this section using the following procedure. Conduct a
weekly ``above span linearity'' calibration challenge of the monitoring
system using a reference gas with a certified value greater than your
highest expected hourly concentration or greater than 75% of the
highest measured hourly concentration. The ``above span'' reference gas
must meet the requirements of the applicable performance specification
and must be introduced to the measurement system at the probe. Record
and report the results of this procedure as you would for a daily
calibration. The ``above span linearity'' challenge is successful if
the value measured by the HCl CEMS falls within 10 percent of the
certified value of the reference gas. If the value measured by the HCl
CEMS during the above span linearity challenge exceeds 10 percent of
the certified value of the reference gas, the monitoring system must be
evaluated and repaired and a new ``above span linearity'' challenge met
before returning the HCl CEMS to service, or data above span from the
HCl CEMS must be subject to the quality assurance procedures
established in (j)(1)(ii)(D) of this section. In this manner values
measured by the HCl CEMS during the above span linearity challenge
exceeding +/-20 percent of the certified value of the reference gas
must be normalized using equation 6;
(C) Quality assure any data above the span value established in
paragraph (j)(1)(i) of this section using the following procedure. Any
time two consecutive one-hour average measured concentration of HCl
exceeds the span value you must, within 24 hours before or after,
introduce a higher, ``above span'' HCl reference gas standard to the
HCl CEMS. The ``above span'' reference gas must meet the requirements
of the applicable performance specification and target a concentration
level between 50 and 150 percent of the highest expected hourly
concentration measured during the period of measurements above span,
and must be introduced at the probe. While this target represents a
desired concentration range that is not always achievable in practice,
it is expected that the intent to meet this range is demonstrated by
the value of the reference gas. Expected values may include above span
calibrations done before or after the above-span measurement period.
Record and report the results of this procedure as you would for a
daily calibration. The ``above span'' calibration is successful if the
value measured by the HCl CEMS is within 20 percent of the certified
value of the reference gas. If the value measured by the HCl CEMS is
not within 20 percent of the certified value of the reference gas, then
you must normalize the stack gas values measured above span as
described in paragraph (j)(1)(ii)(D) of this section. If the ``above
span'' calibration is conducted during the period when measured
emissions are above span and there is a failure to collect the one data
point in an hour due to the calibration duration, then you must
determine the emissions average for that missed hour as the average of
hourly averages for the hour preceding the missed hour and the hour
following the missed hour. In an hour where an ``above span''
calibration is being conducted and one or more data points are
collected, the emissions average is represented by the average of all
valid data points collected in that hour; and
(D) In the event that the ``above span'' calibration is not
successful (i.e., the HCl CEMS measured value is not within 20 percent
of the certified value of the reference gas), then you must normalize
the one-hour average stack gas values measured above the span during
the 24-hour period preceding or following the ``above span''
calibration for reporting based on the HCl CEMS response to the
reference gas as shown in equation 6:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.013
Only one ``above span'' calibration is needed per 24-hour period.
(2) Compliance with the mercury emissions limit must be determined
using a mercury CEMS according to the following requirements:
[[Page 41013]]
(i) You must operate a CEMS in accordance with performance
specification 12A at 40 CFR part 60, appendix B or a sorbent trap based
integrated monitor in accordance with performance specification 12B at
40 CFR part 60, appendix B. The duration of the performance test must
be a calendar month. For each calendar month in which the waste-burning
kiln operates, hourly mercury concentration data and stack gas
volumetric flow rate data must be obtained. You must demonstrate
compliance with the mercury emissions limit using a 30-day rolling
average of these 1-hour mercury concentrations, including CEMS data
during startup and shutdown as defined in this subpart, calculated
using equation 19-19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA Reference Method 19 at 40
CFR part 60, appendix A-7 of this part. CEMS data during startup and
shutdown, as defined in this subpart, are not corrected to 7 percent
oxygen, and are measured at stack oxygen content;
(ii) Owners or operators using a mercury continuous emissions
monitoring systems must install, operate, calibrate and maintain an
instrument for continuously measuring and recording the mercury mass
emissions rate to the atmosphere according to the requirements of
performance specifications 6 and 12A at 40 CFR part 60, appendix B and
quality assurance procedure 5 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix F; and
(iii) The owner or operator of a waste-burning kiln must
demonstrate initial compliance by operating a mercury CEMS while the
raw mill of the in-line kiln/raw mill is operating under normal
conditions and including at least one period when the raw mill is off.
(k) If you use an air pollution control device to meet the emission
limitations in this subpart, you must conduct an initial and annual

(s) For facilities using a CEMS to demonstrate compliance with the
sulfur dioxide emission limit, compliance with the sulfur dioxide
emission limit may be demonstrated by using the CEMS specified in Sec.
60.2730 to measure sulfur dioxide. CEMS data during startup and
shutdown, as defined in this subpart, are not corrected to 7 percent
oxygen, and are measured at stack oxygen content. You must calculate a
30-day rolling average of the 1-hour arithmetic average emission
concentrations, including CEMS data during startup and shutdown as
defined in this subpart, using equation 19-19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA
Reference Method 19 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7. The sulfur dioxide
CEMS must be operated according to performance specification 2 in
appendix B of this part and must follow the procedures and methods
specified in paragraph (s) of this section. For sources that have
actual inlet emissions less than 100 parts per million dry volume, the
relative accuracy criterion for inlet sulfur dioxide CEMS should be no
greater than 20 percent of the mean value of the reference method test
data in terms of the units of the emission standard, or 5 parts per
million dry volume absolute value of the mean difference between the
reference method and the CEMS, whichever is greater:
(1) During each relative accuracy test run of the CEMS required by
performance specification 2 in appendix B of this part, collect sulfur
dioxide and oxygen (or carbon dioxide) data concurrently (or within a
30- to 60-minute period) with both the CEMS and the test methods
specified in paragraphs (s)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section:
(i) For sulfur dioxide, EPA Reference Method 6 or 6C, or as an
alternative ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981 (incorporated by reference, see
Sec. 60.17) must be used; and
(ii) For oxygen (or carbon dioxide), EPA Reference Method 3A or 3B,
or as an alternative ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981 (incorporated by
reference, see Sec. 60.17), as applicable, must be used.

7 percent oxygen, and are measured at stack oxygen content. You must
calculate a 30-day rolling average of the 1-hour arithmetic average
emission concentration using equation 19-19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA
Reference Method 19 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7. The nitrogen
oxides CEMS must be operated according to performance specification 2
in appendix B of this part and must follow the procedures and methods
specified in paragraphs (t)(1) through (4) of this section:
(1) During each relative accuracy test run of the CEMS required by
performance specification 2 of appendix B of this part, collect
nitrogen oxides and oxygen (or carbon dioxide) data concurrently (or
within a 30- to 60-minute period) with both the CEMS and the test
methods specified in paragraphs (t)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section:
(i) For nitrogen oxides, EPA Reference Method 7 or 7E at 40 CFR
part 60, appendix A-4 must be used; and
(ii) For oxygen (or carbon dioxide), EPA Reference Method 3A or 3B,
or as an alternative ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981 (incorporated by
reference, see Sec. 60.17), as applicable, must be used.
(2) The span value of the CEMS must be 125 percent of the maximum
estimated hourly potential nitrogen oxide emissions of unit.
(3) Conduct accuracy determinations quarterly and calibration drift
tests daily in accordance with procedure 1 in appendix F of this part.
(4) The owner or operator of an affected facility may request that
compliance with the nitrogen oxides emission limit be determined using
carbon dioxide measurements corrected to an equivalent of 7 percent
oxygen. If carbon dioxide is selected for use in diluent corrections,
the relationship between oxygen and carbon dioxide levels must be
established during the initial performance test according to the
procedures and methods specified in paragraphs (t)(4)(i) through (iv)
of this section. This relationship may be reestablished during
performance compliance tests:
(i) The fuel factor equation in Method 3B must be used to determine
the relationship between oxygen and carbon dioxide at a sampling
location. Method 3A, 3B, or as an alternative ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981
(incorporated by reference, see Sec. 60.17), as applicable, must be
used to determine the oxygen concentration at the same location as the
carbon dioxide monitor;
(ii) Samples must be taken for at least 30 minutes in each hour;
(iii) Each sample must represent a 1-hour average; and
(iv) A minimum of 3 runs must be performed.
[[Page 41015]]
(u) For facilities using a continuous emissions monitoring system
to demonstrate continuous compliance with any of the emission limits of
this subpart, you must complete the following:
(1) Demonstrate compliance with the appropriate emission limit(s)
using a 30-day rolling average of 1-hour arithmetic average emission
concentrations, including CEMS data during startup and shutdown, as
defined in this subpart, calculated using equation 19-19 in section
12.4.1 of EPA Reference Method 19 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7. CEMS
data during startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart, are not
corrected to 7 percent oxygen, and are measured at stack oxygen
content; and
(2) Operate all CEMS in accordance with the applicable procedures
under appendices B and F of this part.
(v) Use of the bypass stack at any time is an emissions standards
deviation for particulate matter, HCl, Pb, Cd, Hg, NOX,
SO2, and dioxin/furans.
(w) For energy recovery units with a design heat input capacity of
100 MMBtu per hour or greater that do not use a carbon monoxide CEMS,
you must install, operate, and maintain an oxygen analyzer system as
defined in Sec. 60.2875 according to the procedures in paragraphs
(w)(1) through (4) of this section:
(1) The oxygen analyzer system must be installed by the initial
performance test date specified in Sec. 60.2675;
(2) You must operate the oxygen trim system within compliance with
paragraph (w)(3) of this section at all times;
(3) You must maintain the oxygen level such that the 30-day rolling
average that is established as the operating limit for oxygen is not
below the lowest hourly average oxygen concentration measured during
the most recent CO performance test; and
(4) You must calculate and record a 30-day rolling average oxygen
concentration using equation 19-19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA Reference
Method 19 of Appendix A-7 of this part.
(x) For energy recovery units with annual average heat input rates
greater than or equal to 250 MMBtu/hour and waste-burning kilns, you
must install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a PM CPMS and record the
output of the system as specified in paragraphs (x)(1) through (8) of
this section. For other energy recovery units, you may elect to use PM
CPMS operated in accordance with this section. PM CPMS are suitable in
lieu of using other CMS for monitoring PM compliance (e.g., bag leak
detectors, ESP secondary power, PM scrubber pressure):
(1) Install, calibrate, operate, and maintain your PM CPMS
according to the procedures in your approved site-specific monitoring
plan developed in accordance with paragraphs (l) and (x)(1)(i) through
(iii) of this section:
(i) The operating principle of the PM CPMS must be based on in-
stack or extractive light scatter, light scintillation, beta
attenuation, or mass accumulation of the exhaust gas or representative
sample. The reportable measurement output from the PM CPMS must be
expressed as milliamps or the digital signal equivalent;
(ii) The PM CPMS must have a cycle time (i.e., period required to
complete sampling, measurement, and reporting for each measurement) no
longer than 60 minutes; and
(iii) The PM CPMS must be capable of detecting and responding to
particulate matter concentrations increments no greater than 0.5 mg/
actual cubic meter.
(2) During the initial performance test or any such subsequent
performance test that demonstrates compliance with the PM limit, you
must adjust the site-specific operating limit in accordance with the
results of the performance test according to the procedures specified
in Sec. 60.2675.
(3) Collect PM CPMS hourly average output data for all energy
recovery unit or waste-burning kiln operating hours. Express the PM
CPMS output as milliamps or the digital signal equivalent.
(4) Calculate the arithmetic 30-day rolling average of all of the
hourly average PM CPMS output collected during all energy recovery unit
or waste-burning kiln operating hours data (milliamps or their digital
equivalent).
(5) You must collect data using the PM CPMS at all times the energy
recovery unit or waste-burning kiln is operating and at the intervals
specified in paragraph (x)(1)(ii) of this section, except for periods
of monitoring system malfunctions, repairs associated with monitoring
system malfunctions, required monitoring system quality assurance or
quality control activities (including, as applicable, calibration
checks and required zero and span adjustments), and any scheduled
maintenance as defined in your site-specific monitoring plan.
(6) You must use all the data collected during all energy recovery
unit or waste-burning kiln operating hours in assessing the compliance
with your operating limit except:
(i) Any data collected during monitoring system malfunctions,
repairs associated with monitoring system malfunctions, or required
monitoring system quality assurance or quality control activities
conducted during monitoring system malfunctions are not used in
calculations (report any such periods in your annual deviation report);
(ii) Any data collected during periods when the monitoring system
is out of control as specified in your site-specific monitoring plan,
repairs associated with periods when the monitoring system is out of
control, or required monitoring system quality assurance or quality
control activities conducted during out-of-control periods are not used
in calculations (report emissions or operating levels and report any
such periods in your annual deviation report);
(iii) Any PM CPMS data recorded during periods of CEMS data during
startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart.
(7) You must record and make available upon request results of PM
CPMS system performance audits, as well as the dates and duration of
periods from when the PM CPMS is out of control until completion of the
corrective actions necessary to return the PM CPMS to operation
consistent with your site-specific monitoring plan.
(8) For any deviation of the 30-day rolling average PM CPMS average
value from the established operating parameter limit, you must:
(i) Within 48 hours of the deviation, visually inspect the air
pollution control device;
(ii) If inspection of the air pollution control device identifies
the cause of the deviation, take corrective action as soon as possible
and return the PM CPMS measurement to within the established value;
(iii) Within 30 days of the deviation or at the time of the annual
compliance test, whichever comes first, conduct a PM emissions
compliance test to determine compliance with the PM emissions limit and
to verify. Within 45 days of the deviation, you must re-establish the
CPMS operating limit. You are not required to conduct additional
testing for any deviations that occur between the time of the original
deviation and the PM emissions compliance test required under paragraph
(x) of this section; and
(iv) PM CPMS deviations leading to more than four required
performance tests in a 12-month process operating period (rolling
monthly) constitute a violation of this subpart.
(y) When there is an alkali bypass and/or an in-line coal mill that
exhaust emissions through a separate stack(s), the combined emissions
are subject to
[[Page 41016]]
the emission limits applicable to waste-burning kilns. To determine the
kiln-specific emission limit for demonstrating compliance, you must:
(1) Calculate a kiln-specific emission limit using equation 7:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.014
Where:
Cks = Kiln stack concentration (ppmvd, mg/dscm, ng/dscm,
depending on pollutant. Each corrected to 7% O2.)
Qab = Alkali bypass flow rate (volume/hr)
Cab = Alkali bypass concentration (ppmvd, mg/dscm, ng/
dscm, depending on pollutant. Each corrected to 7% O2.)
Qcm = In-line coal mill flow rate (volume/hr)
Ccm = In-line coal mill concentration (ppmvd, mg/dscm,
ng/dscm, depending on pollutant. Each corrected to 7%
O2.)
Qks = Kiln stack flow rate (volume/hr)
(2) Particulate matter concentration must be measured downstream of
the in-line coal mill. All other pollutant concentrations must be
measured either upstream or downstream of the in-line coal mill.
(3) For purposes of determining the combined emissions from kilns
equipped with an alkali bypass or that exhaust kiln gases to a coal
mill that exhausts through a separate stack, instead of installing a
CEMS or PM CPMS on the alkali bypass stack or in-line coal mill stack,
the results of the initial and subsequent performance test can be used
to demonstrate compliance with the relevant emissions limit. A
performance test must be conducted on an annual basis (between 11 and
13 calendar months following the previous performance test).
Sec. 60.2715 By what date must I conduct the annual performance test?
You must conduct annual performance tests between 11 and 13 months
of the previous performance test.
Sec. 60.2716 By what date must I conduct the annual air pollution
control device inspection?
On an annual basis (no more than 12 months following the previous
annual air pollution control device inspection), you must complete the
air pollution control device inspection as described in Sec. 60.2706.
Sec. 60.2720 May I conduct performance testing less often?
(a) You must conduct annual performance tests according to the
schedule specified in Sec. 60.2715, with the following exceptions:
(1) You may conduct a repeat performance test at any time to
establish new values for the operating limits to apply from that point
forward, as specified in Sec. 60.2725. The Administrator may request a
repeat performance test at any time;
(2) You must repeat the performance test within 60 days of a
process change, as defined in Sec. 60.2875; and
(3) If the initial or any subsequent performance test for any
pollutant in table 2 or tables 6 through 9 of this subpart, as
applicable, demonstrates that the emission level for the pollutant is
no greater than the emission level specified in paragraph (a)(3)(i) or
(a)(3)(ii) of this section, as applicable, and you are not required to
conduct a performance test for the pollutant in response to a request
by the Administrator in paragraph (a)(1) of this section or a process
change in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, you may elect to skip
conducting a performance test for the pollutant for the next 2 years.
You must conduct a performance test for the pollutant during the third
year and no more than 37 months following the previous performance test
for the pollutant. For cadmium and lead, both cadmium and lead must be
emitted at emission levels no greater than their respective emission
levels specified in paragraph (a)(3)(i) of this section for you to
qualify for less frequent testing under paragraph (a) of this section:
(i) For particulate matter, hydrogen chloride, mercury, carbon
monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, cadmium, lead, and dioxins/
furans, the emission level equal to 75 percent of the applicable
emission limit in table 2 or tables 6 through 9 of this subpart, as
applicable, to this subpart; and
(ii) For fugitive emissions, visible emissions (of combustion ash
from the ash conveying system) for 2 percent of the time during each of
the three 1-hour observation periods.
(4) If you are conducting less frequent testing for a pollutant as
provided in paragraph (a)(3) of this section and a subsequent
performance test for the pollutant indicates that your CISWI unit does
not meet the emission level specified in paragraph (a)(3)(i) or
(a)(3)(ii) of this section, as applicable, you must conduct annual
performance tests for the pollutant according to the schedule specified
in paragraph (a) of this section until you qualify for less frequent
testing for the pollutant as specified in paragraph (a)(3) of this
section.
(b) [Reserved]
Sec. 60.2725 May I conduct a repeat performance test to establish new
operating limits?
(a) Yes. You may conduct a repeat performance test at any time to
establish new values for the operating limits. The Administrator may
request a repeat performance test at any time.
(b) You must repeat the performance test if your feed stream is
different than the feed streams used during any performance test used
to demonstrate compliance.
Model Rule--Monitoring
Sec. 60.2730 What monitoring equipment must I install and what
parameters must I monitor?
(a) If you are using a wet scrubber to comply with the emission
limitation under Sec. 60.2670, you must install, calibrate (to
manufacturers' specifications), maintain, and operate devices (or
establish methods) for monitoring the value of the operating parameters
used to determine compliance with the operating limits listed in table
3 of this subpart. These devices (or methods) must measure and record
the values for these operating parameters at the frequencies indicated
in table 3 of this subpart at all times except as specified in Sec.
60.2735(a).
(b) If you use a fabric filter to comply with the requirements of
this subpart and you do not use a PM CPMS for monitoring PM compliance,
you must install, calibrate, maintain, and continuously operate a bag
leak detection system as specified in paragraphs (b)(1) through (8) of
this section:
(1) You must install and operate a bag leak detection system for
each exhaust stack of the fabric filter;
(2) Each bag leak detection system must be installed, operated,
calibrated, and maintained in a manner consistent with the
manufacturer's written specifications and recommendations;
(3) The bag leak detection system must be certified by the
manufacturer to be capable of detecting particulate matter emissions at
concentrations of 10 milligrams per actual cubic meter or less;
(4) The bag leak detection system sensor must provide output of
relative or absolute particulate matter loadings;
[[Page 41017]]
(5) The bag leak detection system must be equipped with a device to
continuously record the output signal from the sensor;
(6) The bag leak detection system must be equipped with an alarm
system that will alert automatically an operator when an increase in
relative particulate matter emission over a preset level is detected.
The alarm must be located where it is observed easily by plant
operating personnel;
(7) For positive pressure fabric filter systems, a bag leak
detection system must be installed in each baghouse compartment or
cell. For negative pressure or induced air fabric filters, the bag leak
detector must be installed downstream of the fabric filter; and
(8) Where multiple detectors are required, the system's
instrumentation and alarm may be shared among detectors.
(c) If you are using something other than a wet scrubber, activated
carbon, selective non-catalytic reduction, an electrostatic
precipitator, or a dry scrubber to comply with the emission limitations
under Sec. 60.2670, you must install, calibrate (to the manufacturers'
specifications), maintain, and operate the equipment necessary to
monitor compliance with the site-specific operating limits established
using the procedures in Sec. 60.2680.
(d) If you use activated carbon injection to comply with the
emission limitations in this subpart, you must measure the minimum
sorbent flow rate once per hour.
(e) If you use selective noncatalytic reduction to comply with the
emission limitations, you must complete the following:
(1) Following the date on which the initial performance test is
completed or is required to be completed under Sec. 60.2690, whichever
date comes first, ensure that the affected facility does not operate
above the maximum charge rate, or below the minimum secondary chamber
temperature (if applicable to your CISWI unit) or the minimum reagent
flow rate measured as 3-hour block averages at all times; and
(2) Operation of the affected facility above the maximum charge
rate, below the minimum secondary chamber temperature and below the
minimum reagent flow rate simultaneously constitute a violation of the
nitrogen oxides emissions limit.
(f) If you use an electrostatic precipitator to comply with the
emission limits of this subpart and you do not use a PM CPMS for
monitoring PM compliance, you must monitor the secondary power to the
electrostatic precipitator collection plates and maintain the 3-hour
block averages at or above the operating limits established during the
mercury or particulate matter performance test.
(g) For waste-burning kilns not equipped with a wet scrubber or dry
scrubber, in place of hydrogen chloride testing with EPA Method 321 at
40 CFR part 63, appendix A, an owner or operator must install,
calibrate, maintain, and operate a CEMS for monitoring hydrogen
chloride emissions, as specified in Sec. 60.2710(j), discharged to the
atmosphere and record the output of the system. To demonstrate
continuous compliance with the hydrogen chloride emissions limit for
units other than waste-burning kilns not equipped with a wet scrubber
or dry scrubber, a facility may substitute use of a hydrogen chloride
CEMS for conducting the hydrogen chloride annual performance test,
monitoring the minimum hydrogen chloride sorbent flow rate, monitoring
the minimum scrubber liquor pH.
(h) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the particulate
matter emissions limit, a facility may substitute use of either a
particulate matter CEMS or a particulate matter CPMS for conducting the
particulate matter annual performance test and other CMS monitoring for
PM compliance (e.g., bag leak detectors, ESP secondary power, PM
scrubber pressure).
(i) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the dioxin/furan
emissions limit, a facility may substitute use of a continuous
automated sampling system for the dioxin/furan annual performance test.
You must record the output of the system and analyze the sample
according to EPA Method 23 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7. This option
to use a continuous automated sampling system takes effect on the date
a final performance specification applicable to dioxin/furan from
continuous monitors is published in the Federal Register. The owner or
operator who elects to continuously sample dioxin/furan emissions
instead of sampling and testing using EPA Method 23 at 40 CFR part 60,
appendix A-7 must install, calibrate, maintain and operate a continuous
automated sampling system and must comply with the requirements
specified in Sec. 60.58b(p) and (q). A facility may substitute
continuous dioxin/furan monitoring for the minimum sorbent flow rate,
if activated carbon sorbent injection is used solely for compliance
with the dioxin/furan emission limit.
(j) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the mercury emissions
limit, a facility may substitute use of a continuous automated sampling
system for the mercury annual performance test. You must record the
output of the system and analyze the sample at set intervals using any
suitable determinative technique that can meet performance
specification 12B criteria. This option to use a continuous automated
sampling system takes effect on the date a final performance
specification applicable to mercury from monitors is published in the
Federal Register. The owner or operator who elects to continuously
sample mercury emissions instead of sampling and testing using EPA
Method 29 or 30B at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-8, ASTM D6784-02
(Reapproved 2008) (incorporated by reference, see Sec. 60.17), or an
approved alternative method for measuring mercury emissions, must
install, calibrate, maintain and operate a continuous automated
sampling system and must comply with the requirements specified in
Sec. 60.58b(p) and (q). A facility may substitute continuous mercury
monitoring for the minimum sorbent flow rate, if activated carbon
sorbent injection is used solely for compliance with the mercury
emission limit. Waste-burning kilns must install, calibrate, maintain,
and operate a mercury CEMS as specified in Sec. 60.2710(j).
(k) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the nitrogen oxides
emissions limit, a facility may substitute use of a CEMS for the
nitrogen oxides annual performance test to demonstrate compliance with
the nitrogen oxides emissions limits and monitoring the charge rate,
secondary chamber temperature and reagent flow for selective
noncatalytic reduction, if applicable:
(1) Install, calibrate, maintain and operate a CEMS for measuring
nitrogen oxides emissions discharged to the atmosphere and record the
output of the system. The requirements under performance specification
2 of appendix B of this part, the quality assurance procedure 1 of
appendix F of this part and the procedures under Sec. 60.13 must be
followed for installation, evaluation and operation of the CEMS; and
(2) Following the date that the initial performance test for
nitrogen oxides is completed or is required to be completed under Sec.
60.2690, compliance with the emission limit for nitrogen oxides
required under Sec. 60.52b(d) must be determined based on the 30-day
rolling average of the hourly emission concentrations using CEMS outlet
data. The 1-hour arithmetic averages must be expressed in parts per
million by volume corrected to 7 percent oxygen (dry basis) and used to
calculate the 30-day rolling average concentrations.
[[Page 41018]]
CEMS data during startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart, are
not corrected to 7 percent oxygen, and are measured at stack oxygen
content. The 1-hour arithmetic averages must be calculated using the
data points required under Sec. 60.13(e)(2).
(l) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the sulfur dioxide
emissions limit, a facility may substitute use of a continuous
automated sampling system for the sulfur dioxide annual performance
test to demonstrate compliance with the sulfur dioxide emissions
limits:
(1) Install, calibrate, maintain and operate a CEMS for measuring
sulfur dioxide emissions discharged to the atmosphere and record the
output of the system. The requirements under performance specification
2 of appendix B of this part, the quality assurance requirements of
procedure 1 of appendix F of this part and the procedures under Sec.
60.13 must be followed for installation, evaluation and operation of
the CEMS; and
(2) Following the date that the initial performance test for sulfur
dioxide is completed or is required to be completed under Sec.
60.2690, compliance with the sulfur dioxide emission limit may be
determined based on the 30-day rolling average of the hourly arithmetic
average emission concentrations using CEMS outlet data. The 1-hour
arithmetic averages must be expressed in parts per million corrected to
7 percent oxygen (dry basis) and used to calculate the 30-day rolling
average emission concentrations. CEMS data during startup and shutdown,
as defined in this subpart, are not corrected to 7 percent oxygen, and
are measured at stack oxygen content. The 1-hour arithmetic averages
must be calculated using the data points required under Sec.
60.13(e)(2).
(m) For energy recovery units over 10 MMBtu/hr but less than 250
MMBtu/hr annual average heat input rates that do not use a wet
scrubber, fabric filter with bag leak detection system, or particulate
matter CEMS, you must install, operate, certify and maintain a
continuous opacity monitoring system according to the procedures in
paragraphs (m)(1) through (5) of this section by the compliance date
specified in Sec. 60.2670. Energy recovery units that use a
particulate matter CEMS to demonstrate initial and continuing
compliance according to the procedures in Sec. 60.2730(n) are not
required to install a continuous opacity monitoring system and must
perform the annual performance tests for opacity consistent with Sec.
60.2710(f):
(1) Install, operate and maintain each continuous opacity
monitoring system according to performance specification 1 at 40 CFR
part 60, appendix B;
(2) Conduct a performance evaluation of each continuous opacity
monitoring system according to the requirements in Sec. 60.13 and
according to performance specification 1 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix B;

monitoring system must complete a minimum of one cycle of sampling and
analyzing for each successive 10-second period and one cycle of data
recording for each successive 6-minute period;
(4) Reduce the continuous opacity monitoring system data as
specified in Sec. 60.13(h)(1); and
(5) Determine and record all the 6-minute averages (and 1-hour
block averages as applicable) collected.
(n) For coal and liquid/gas energy recovery units, incinerators,
and small remote incinerators, an owner or operator may elect to
install, calibrate, maintain and operate a CEMS for monitoring
particulate matter emissions discharged to the atmosphere and record
the output of the system. The owner or operator of an affected facility
who continuously monitors particulate matter emissions instead of
conducting performance testing using EPA Method 5 at 40 CFR part 60,
appendix A-3 or, as applicable, monitor with a particulate matter CPMS
according to paragraph (r) of this section, must install, calibrate,
maintain and operate a CEMS and must comply with the requirements
specified in paragraphs (n)(1) through (13) of this section:
(1) Notify the Administrator 1 month before starting use of the
system;
(2) Notify the Administrator 1 month before stopping use of the
system;
(3) The monitor must be installed, evaluated and operated in
accordance with the requirements of performance specification 11 of
appendix B of this part and quality assurance requirements of procedure
2 of appendix F of this part and Sec. 60.13;
(4) The initial performance evaluation must be completed no later
than 180 days after the final compliance date for meeting the amended
emission limitations, as specified under Sec. 60.2690 or within 180
days of notification to the Administrator of use of the continuous
monitoring system if the owner or operator was previously determining
compliance by Method 5 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-3 performance
tests, whichever is later;
(5) The owner or operator of an affected facility may request that
compliance with the particulate matter emission limit be determined
using carbon dioxide measurements corrected to an equivalent of 7
percent oxygen. The relationship between oxygen and carbon dioxide
levels for the affected facility must be established according to the
procedures and methods specified in Sec. 60.2710(t)(4)(i) through
(iv);
(6) The owner or operator of an affected facility must conduct an
initial performance test for particulate matter emissions as required
under Sec. 60.2690. Compliance with the particulate matter emission
limit, if PM CEMS are elected for demonstrating compliance, must be
determined by using the CEMS specified in paragraph (n) of this section
to measure particulate matter. You must calculate a 30-day rolling
average of 1-hour arithmetic average emission concentrations, including
CEMS data during startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart,
using equation 19-19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA Reference Method 19 at 40
CFR part 60, appendix A-7 of this part;
(7) Compliance with the particulate matter emission limit must be
determined based on the 30-day rolling average calculated using
equation 19-19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA Reference Method 19 at 40 CFR
part 60, Appendix A-7 of the part from the 1-hour arithmetic average of
the CEMS outlet data.
(8) At a minimum, valid continuous monitoring system hourly
averages must be obtained as specified Sec. 60.2735;
(9) The 1-hour arithmetic averages required under paragraph (n)(7)
of this section must be expressed in milligrams per dry standard cubic
meter corrected to 7 percent oxygen (or carbon dioxide) (dry basis) and
must be used to calculate the 30-day rolling average emission
concentrations. CEMS data during startup and shutdown, as defined in
this subpart, are not corrected to 7 percent oxygen, and are measured
at stack oxygen content. The 1-hour arithmetic averages must be
calculated using the data points required under Sec. 60.13(e)(2);
(10) All valid CEMS data must be used in calculating average
emission concentrations even if the minimum CEMS data requirements of
paragraph (n)(8) of this section are not met;
(11) The CEMS must be operated according to performance
specification 11 in appendix B of this part;
(12) During each relative accuracy test run of the CEMS required by
performance specification 11 in appendix B of this part, particulate
matter and oxygen (or carbon dioxide) data must be collected
concurrently (or within a 30-to 60-minute period) by both the CEMS and
the following test methods:
[[Page 41019]]
(i) For particulate matter, EPA Reference Method 5 at 40 CFR part
60, appendix A-3 must be used; and
(ii) For oxygen (or carbon dioxide), EPA Reference Method 3A or 3B
at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-2, as applicable, must be used; and
(13) Quarterly accuracy determinations and daily calibration drift
tests must be performed in accordance with procedure 2 in appendix F of
this part.
(o) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the carbon monoxide
emissions limit, a facility may substitute use of a continuous
automated sampling system for the carbon monoxide annual performance
test to demonstrate compliance with the carbon monoxide emissions
limits:
(1) Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a CEMS for measuring
carbon monoxide emissions discharged to the atmosphere and record the
output of the system. The requirements under performance specification
4B of appendix B of this part, the quality assurance procedure 1 of
appendix F of this part and the procedures under Sec. 60.13 must be
followed for installation, evaluation, and operation of the CEMS; and
(2) Following the date that the initial performance test for carbon
monoxide is completed or is required to be completed under Sec.
60.2690, compliance with the carbon monoxide emission limit may be
determined based on the 30-day rolling average of the hourly arithmetic
average emission concentrations, including CEMS data during startup and
shutdown as defined in this subpart, using CEMS outlet data. Except for
CEMS data during startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart, the
1-hour arithmetic averages must be expressed in parts per million
corrected to 7 percent oxygen (dry basis) and used to calculate the 30-
day rolling average emission concentrations. CEMS data collected during
startup or shutdown, as defined in this subpart, are not corrected to 7
percent oxygen, and are measured at stack oxygen content. The 1-hour
arithmetic averages must be calculated using the data points required
under Sec. 60.13(e)(2).
(p) The owner/operator of an affected source with a bypass stack
shall install, calibrate (to manufacturers' specifications), maintain
and operate a device or method for measuring the use of the bypass
stack including date, time and duration.
(q) For energy recovery units with a heat input capacity of 100
MMBtu per hour or greater that do not use a carbon monoxide CEMS, you
must install, operate and maintain the continuous oxygen monitoring
system as defined in Sec. 60.2875 according to the procedures in
paragraphs (q)(1) through (4) of this section:

performance test; and
(4) You must calculate and record a 30-day rolling average oxygen
concentration using equation 19-19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA Reference
Method 19 of Appendix A-7 of this part.
(r) For energy recovery units with annual average heat input rates
greater than or equal to 250 MMBtu/hour and waste-burning kilns, you
must install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a PM CPMS and record the
output of the system as specified in paragraphs (r)(1) through (8) of
this section. For other energy recovery units, you may elect to use PM
CPMS operated in accordance with this section. PM CPMS are suitable in
lieu of using other CMS for monitoring PM compliance (e.g., bag leak
detectors, ESP secondary power, PM scrubber pressure):
(1) Install, calibrate, operate, and maintain your PM CPMS
according to the procedures in your approved site-specific monitoring
plan developed in accordance with Sec. 60.2710(l) and (r)(1)(i)
through (iii) of this section:
(i) The operating principle of the PM CPMS must be based on in-
stack or extractive light scatter, light scintillation, beta
attenuation, or mass accumulation of the exhaust gas or representative
sample. The reportable measurement output from the PM CPMS must be
expressed as milliamps or the digital signal equivalent;
(ii) The PM CPMS must have a cycle time (i.e., period required to
complete sampling, measurement, and reporting for each measurement) no
longer than 60 minutes; and
(iii) The PM CPMS must be capable of detecting and responding to
particulate matter concentrations increments no greater than 0.5 mg/
actual cubic meter.
(2) During the initial performance test or any such subsequent
performance test that demonstrates compliance with the PM limit, you
must adjust the site-specific operating limit in accordance with the
results of the performance test according to the procedures specified
in Sec. 60.2675.
(3) Collect PM CPMS hourly average output data for all energy
recovery unit or waste-burning kiln operating hours. Express the PM
CPMS output as milliamps or the digital signal equivalent.
(4) Calculate the arithmetic 30-day rolling average of all of the
hourly average PM CPMS output collected during all energy recovery unit
or waste-burning kiln operating hours data (milliamps or digital bits).
(5) You must collect data using the PM CPMS at all times the energy
recovery unit or waste-burning kiln is operating and at the intervals
specified in paragraph (r)(1)(ii) of this section, except for periods
of monitoring system malfunctions, repairs associated with monitoring
system malfunctions, required monitoring system quality assurance or
quality control activities (including, as applicable, calibration
checks and required zero and span adjustments), and any scheduled
maintenance as defined in your site-specific monitoring plan.
(6) You must use all the data collected during all energy recovery
unit or waste-burning kiln operating hours in assessing the compliance
with your operating limit except:
(i) Any data collected during monitoring system malfunctions,
repairs associated with monitoring system malfunctions, or required
monitoring system quality assurance or quality control activities
conducted during monitoring system malfunctions are not used in
calculations (report any such periods in your annual deviation report);
(ii) Any data collected during periods when the monitoring system
is out of control as specified in your site-specific monitoring plan,
repairs associated with periods when the monitoring system is out of
control, or required monitoring system quality assurance or quality
control activities conducted during out-of-control periods are not used
in calculations (report emissions or operating levels and report any
such periods in your annual deviation report); and
(iii) Any PM CPMS data recorded during periods of CEMS data during
startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart.
(7) You must record and make available upon request results of PM
CPMS system performance audits, as well as the dates and duration of
periods from when the PM CPMS is out of control until completion of the
corrective actions necessary to return
[[Page 41020]]
the PM CPMS to operation consistent with your site-specific monitoring
plan.
(8) For any deviation of the 30-day rolling average PM CPMS average
value from the established operating parameter limit, you must:
(i) Within 48 hours of the deviation, visually inspect the air
pollution control device;
(ii) If inspection of the air pollution control device identifies
the cause of the deviation, take corrective action as soon as possible
and return the PM CPMS measurement to within the established value;
(iii) Within 30 days of the deviation or at the time of the annual
compliance test, whichever comes first, conduct a PM emissions
compliance test to determine compliance with the PM emissions limit and
to verify the operation of the emissions control device(s). Within 45
days of the deviation, you must re-establish the CPMS operating limit.
You are not required to conduct additional testing for any deviations
that occur between the time of the original deviation and the PM
emissions compliance test required under this paragraph; and
(iv) PM CPMS deviations leading to more than four required
performance tests in a 12-month process operating period (rolling
monthly) constitute a violation of this subpart.
(s) If you use a dry scrubber to comply with the emission limits of
this subpart, you must monitor the injection rate of each sorbent and
maintain the 3-hour block averages at or above the operating limits
established during the hydrogen chloride performance test.
Sec. 60.2735 Is there a minimum amount of monitoring data I must
obtain?
For each continuous monitoring system required or optionally
allowed under Sec. 60.2730, you must monitor and collect data
according to this section:
(a) You must operate the monitoring system and collect data at all
required intervals at all times compliance is required except for
periods of monitoring system malfunctions or out-of-control periods,
repairs associated with monitoring system malfunctions or out-of-
control periods (as specified in Sec. 60.2770(o)), and required
monitoring system quality assurance or quality control activities
including, as applicable, calibration checks and required zero and span
adjustments. A monitoring system malfunction is any sudden, infrequent,
not reasonably preventable failure of the monitoring system to provide
valid data. Monitoring system failures that are caused in part by poor
maintenance or careless operation are not malfunctions. You are
required to effect monitoring system repairs in response to monitoring
system malfunctions or out-of-control periods and to return the
monitoring system to operation as expeditiously as practicable.
(b) You may not use data recorded during the monitoring system
malfunctions, repairs associated with monitoring system malfunctions or
out-of control periods, or required monitoring system quality assurance
or control activities in calculations used to report emissions or
operating levels. You must use all the data collected during all other
periods, including data normalized for above scale readings, in
assessing the operation of the control device and associated control
system.
(c) Except for periods of monitoring system malfunctions or out-of-
control periods, repairs associated with monitoring system malfunctions
or out-of-control periods, and required monitoring system quality
assurance or quality control activities including, as applicable,
calibration checks and required zero and span adjustments, failure to
collect required data is a deviation of the monitoring requirements.

(1) For incinerators and small remote incinerators: CEMS data
collected during the first hours of operation of a CISWI unit startup
from a cold start until waste is fed into the unit and the hours of
operation following the cessation of waste material being fed to the
CISWI unit during a unit shutdown. For each startup event, the length
of time that CEMS data may be claimed as being CEMS data during startup
must be 48 operating hours or less. For each shutdown event, the length
of time that CEMS data may be claimed as being CEMS data during
shutdown must be 24 operating hours or less;
(2) For energy recovery units: CEMS data collected during the
startup or shutdown periods of operation. Startup begins with either
the first-ever firing of fuel in a boiler or process heater for the
purpose of supplying useful thermal energy (such as steam or heat) for
heating, cooling or process purposes, or producing electricity, or the
firing of fuel in a boiler or process heater for any purpose after a
shutdown event. Startup ends four hours after when the boiler or
process heater makes useful thermal energy (such as heat or steam) for
heating, cooling, or process purposes, or generates electricity,
whichever is earlier. Shutdown begins when the boiler or process heater
no longer makes useful thermal energy (such as heat or steam) for
heating, cooling, or process purposes and/or generates electricity or
when no fuel is being fed to the boiler or process heater, whichever is
earlier. Shutdown ends when the boiler or process heater no longer
makes useful thermal energy (such as steam or heat) for heating,
cooling, or process purposes and/or generates electricity, and no fuel
is being combusted in the boiler or process heater; and
(3) For waste-burning kilns: CEMS data collected during the periods
of kiln operation that do not include normal operations. Startup means
the time from when a shutdown kiln first begins firing fuel until it
begins producing clinker. Startup begins when a shutdown kiln turns on
the induced draft fan and begins firing fuel in the main burner.
Startup ends when feed is being continuously introduced into the kiln
for at least 120 minutes or when the feed rate exceeds 60 percent of
the kiln design limitation rate, whichever occurs first. Shutdown means
the cessation of kiln operation. Shutdown begins when feed to the kiln
is halted and ends when continuous kiln rotation ceases.
Chemical recovery unit means combustion units burning materials to
recover chemical constituents or to produce chemical compounds where
there is an existing commercial market for such recovered chemical
constituents or compounds. A chemical recovery unit is not an
incinerator, a waste-burning kiln, an energy recovery unit or a small,
remote incinerator under this subpart. The following seven types of
units are considered chemical recovery units:
(1) Units burning only pulping liquors (i.e., black liquor) that
are reclaimed in a pulping liquor recovery process and reused in the
pulping process;
(2) Units burning only spent sulfuric acid used to produce virgin
sulfuric acid;
(3) Units burning only wood or coal feedstock for the production of
charcoal;

Commercial and industrial solid waste incineration (CISWI) unit
means any distinct operating unit of any commercial or industrial
facility that combusts, or has combusted in the preceding 6 months, any
solid waste as that term is defined in 40 CFR part 241. If the
operating unit burns materials other than traditional fuels as defined
in Sec. 241.2 that have been discarded, and you do not keep and
produce records as required by Sec. 60.2740(u), the operating unit is
a CISWI unit. While not all CISWI units will include all of the
following components, a CISWI unit includes, but is not limited to, the
solid waste feed system, grate system, flue gas system, waste heat
recovery equipment, if any, and bottom ash system. The CISWI unit does
not include air pollution control equipment or the stack. The CISWI
unit boundary starts at the solid waste hopper (if applicable) and
extends through two areas: The combustion unit flue gas system, which
ends immediately after the last combustion chamber or after the waste
heat recovery equipment, if any; and the combustion unit bottom ash
system, which ends at the truck loading station or similar equipment
that transfers the ash to final disposal. The CISWI unit includes all
ash handling systems connected to the bottom ash handling system.

a type of CMS.
Cyclonic burn barrel means a combustion device for waste materials
that is attached to a 55 gallon, open-head drum. The device consists of
a lid, which fits onto and encloses the drum, and a blower that forces
combustion air into the drum in a cyclonic manner to enhance the mixing
of waste material and air. A cyclonic burn barrel is not an
incinerator, a waste-burning kiln, an energy recovery unit or a small,
remote incinerator under this subpart.
Deviation means any instance in which an affected source subject to
this subpart, or an owner or operator of such a source:
(1) Fails to meet any requirement or obligation established by this
subpart, including but not limited to any emission limitation,

combustion for useful purposes such as steam generation or process
heating.
Energy recovery unit means a combustion unit combusting solid waste
(as that term is defined by the Administrator in 40 CFR part 241) for
energy recovery. Energy recovery units include units that would be
considered boilers and process heaters if they did not combust solid
waste.
Energy recovery unit designed to burn biomass (Biomass) means an
energy recovery unit that burns solid waste, biomass, and non-coal
solid materials but less than 10 percent coal, on a heat input basis on
an annual average, either alone or in combination with liquid waste,
liquid fuel or gaseous fuels.

burning kiln, an energy recovery unit or a small, remote incinerator
under this subpart.
Incinerator means any furnace used in the process of combusting
solid waste (as that term is defined by the Administrator in 40 CFR
part 241) for the purpose of reducing the volume of the waste by
removing combustible matter. Incinerator designs include single chamber
and two-chamber.
In-line coal mill means those coal mills using kiln exhaust gases
in their process. Coal mills with a heat source other than the kiln or
coal mills using exhaust gases from the clinker cooler alone are not an
in-line coal mill.
In-line kiln/raw mill means a system in a Portland Cement
production process where a dry kiln system is integrated with the raw
mill so that all or a portion of the kiln exhaust gases are used to
perform the drying operation of the raw mill, with no auxiliary heat
source used. In this system the kiln is capable of operating without
the raw mill operating, but the raw mill cannot operate without the
kiln gases, and consequently, the raw mill does not generate a separate
exhaust gas stream.
Kiln means an oven or furnace, including any associated preheater
or precalciner devices, in-line raw mills, in-line coal mills or alkali
bypasses used for processing a substance by burning, firing or drying.
Kilns include cement kilns that produce clinker by heating limestone
and other materials for subsequent production of Portland Cement.
Because the alkali bypass, in-line raw mill and in-line coal mill are
considered an integral part of the kiln, the kiln emissions limits also
apply to
[[Page 41027]]
the exhaust of the alkali bypass, in-line raw mill and in-line coal
mill.

exceeds 50 percent of the original cost of building and installing the
CISWI unit (not including the cost of land) updated to current costs
(current dollars). To determine what systems are within the boundary of
the CISWI unit used to calculate these costs, see the definition of
CISWI unit; and

racks used to hold small items for application of a coating. The unit
burns the coating overspray off the rack so the rack can be reused.
Raw mill means a ball or tube mill, vertical roller mill or other
size reduction equipment, that is not part of an in-line kiln/raw mill,
used to grind feed to the appropriate size. Moisture may be added or
removed from the feed during the grinding operation. If the raw mill is
used to remove moisture from feed materials, it is also, by definition,
a raw material dryer. The raw mill also includes the air separator
associated with the raw mill.
Reconstruction means rebuilding a CISWI unit and meeting two
criteria:
(1) The reconstruction begins on or after August 7, 2013; and
