Federal Plan Requirements for
Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste
Incineration Units
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
This action proposes the
federal plan for existing commercial and
industrial incineration (CISWI) units.
This proposed action implements the
Environmental Protection Agency’s
(EPA) emission guidelines (EG) adopted
on February 7, 2013, as amended on
June 23, 2016, in states that do not have
an approved state plan implementing
the EG in place by the effective date of
this federal plan. The federal plan will
result in emissions reductions of certain
pollutants from all affected units
covered.
DATES: Comments. Comments must be
received on or before February 27, 2017.
Public Hearing. A public hearing will
be held if requested by January 17, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Comments. Submit your
comments, identified by Docket ID No.
EPA–HQ–OAR–2016–0664 at https://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the online

Regulated Entities. Owners or
operators of existing CISWI units that
are subject to the existing federal plan
implementing the December 1, 2000 EG,
and units not already subject to an EPAapproved and effective state plan
implementing the February 7, 2013, EG,
may be regulated by this final action.
Existing CISWI units are those that
commenced construction on or before
June 4, 2010 or that commenced
modification or reconstruction after
June 4, 2010 but no later than August 7,
2013. Regulated categories and entities
include those that operate CISWI units.
Although there is no specific North
American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) code for CISWI units,
these units may be operated by the
categories of sources listed in Table 1:

II. Background Information
A. What is the regulatory development
background for this proposed rule?
Section 129 of the Clean Air Act
(CAA), titled, ‘‘Solid Waste
Combustion,’’ requires the EPA to
develop and adopt standards for solid
waste incineration units pursuant to
CAA sections 111 and 129.
On March 21, 2011, the EPA
promulgated revised new source
performance standards (NSPS) and EG
for CISWI units. Following this 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 CISWI
incineration units. The EPA published
the proposed revisions to the NSPS and
EG for CISWI 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
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
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.
On June 23, 2016, the EPA promulgated
the final reconsidered NSPS and EG for
CISWI units (81 FR 40956). 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 the
Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA) definition of solid waste,
refer to prior documents (76 FR 15704,
78 FR 9112).
Sections 111(b) and 129(a) of the CAA
address emissions from new units (i.e.,
NSPS), and CAA sections 111(d) and
129(b) address emissions from existing
units (i.e., EG). The NSPS are federal
regulations directly enforceable upon
CISWI units, and, under CAA section
129(f)(1), become effective 6 months
after promulgation. Unlike the NSPS,
the EG provide direction for developing
state plans; however, the EG are not
themselves directly enforceable. The EG
are implemented and enforced under an
EPA approved state or tribal plan or
EPA adopted federal plan once the state,
tribal, or federal plan has become
effective.
Section 129(b)(2) of the CAA directs
states with existing CISWI unit(s)
subject to the EG to submit plans to the
EPA that implement and enforce the EG.
The deadline for states to submit state
plans to the EPA for review was
February 7, 2014 (see 78 FR 9121–2,
February 7, 2013).1 Sections 111 and
129(b)(3) of the CAA and 40 CFR
60.27(c) and (d) require the EPA to
develop, implement and enforce a
federal plan for CISWI units in any state
without an approvable state plan within
1 Several states did not submit plans to the EPA
by this date.
E:\FR\FM\11JAP4.SGM
11JAP4
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 7 / Wednesday, January 11, 2017 / Proposed Rules
2 years after promulgation of the EG.
This action proposes the CISWI Federal
Plan. In this proposal, the EPA is
soliciting comment only on the
implementation of the final CISWI EG
through the proposed federal plan. The
EPA is not reopening the underlying
CISWI rule for public comment and
does not intend to address any
comments on the underlying CISWI
rule.2
The EPA anticipates that facilities in
approximately eight states and four U.S.
territories will need to rely on the
CISWI Federal Plan.
B. What is the purpose of this proposed
rule?
Section 129(b)(2) of the CAA requires
states to implement the EG for existing
solid waste incineration units, including
CISWI units. States with existing CISWI
units were required to submit to the
EPA within 1 year following
promulgation of the EG (by February 7,
2014) state plans that are at least as
protective as the EG. Sections 111 and
129 of the CAA and 40 CFR 60.27(c) and
(d) require the EPA to develop,
implement, and enforce a federal plan
in states which have not submitted an
approvable plan. The EPA is proposing
the CISWI Federal Plan so that a
promulgated federal plan will be
effective in any state that fails to
provide an approvable state plan, thus,
ensuring implementation and
enforcement of the final CISWI EG.
The regulations require states without
any existing CISWI units to submit to
the Administrator a letter of negative
declaration certifying that there are no
CISWI units in the state (See 40 CFR
62.06). No plan is required for states
that do not have any CISWI units.
CISWI units located in states that
mistakenly submit a letter of negative
declaration are subject to the federal
plan, once effective, until a state plan
regulating those CISWI units is
approved. State plans that have been
submitted to implement the final CISWI
EG,3 have either been approved or are
currently undergoing EPA review. This
proposed CISWI Federal Plan will
implement the final CISWI EG in those
states that do not have an approved state
plan in place by the effective date of this
federal plan. If a state or tribal plan is
approved in part, the federal plan will
apply to the affected CISWI units in lieu
of the disapproved portions of the state
plan until the state or tribe addresses
the deficiencies in the state plan and the
revised state plan is approved by the
EPA. Prior to any disapproval, the EPA
will work with states and tribes to
attempt to reconcile areas of the plan
that remain inconsistent with the EG.
Incineration of solid waste at
commercial and industrial facilities
causes the release of a wide array of air
pollutants, some of which exist in the
waste feed material and are released
unchanged during combustion, and
some of which are generated as a result
of the combustion process itself.4 The
EPA estimated in the 2013 rule that
once the state plans and federal plan
become effective, a total emissions
3557
reduction of the regulated pollutants
would occur as follows: Acid gases (i.e.,
hydrogen chloride (HCl) and sulfur
dioxoide (SO2)), about 7,046 tons per
year (tpy); particulate matter (PM) about
2,401 tpy; non-Hg metals (i.e., lead (Pb)
and cadmium (Cd)) about 4.5 tpy;
carbon monoxide (CO) about 20,000 tpy;
nitrogen oxide (NOX) about 5,399 tpy;
and mercury (Hg) about 688 pounds per
year. The EPA also estimated that air
pollution control devices installed to
comply with the 2013 rule would also
effectively reduce emissions of
pollutants such as 7-polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons and polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCB).5 The 2016 rule did not
significantly change the emission
reduction estimates presented in the
2013 rule, other than estimating slightly
less in PM reductions for the wasteburning kiln subcategory (See 81 FR
40969, June 23, 2016).
C. What is the status of state plan
submittals?
Sections 111(d) and 129(b)(3) of the
CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7411(d) and 7429(b)(3),
authorize and require the EPA to
develop and implement a federal plan
for CISWI units located in states with no
approved and effective state plan. Table
2 below lists the status of state plans as
of the signature date for this proposal.
Additionally, Table 2 lists states and
local agencies that submitted negative
declarations and/or those which have
indicated that they intend to take
delegation of the federal plan.

III. Affected Facilities
A. What is a CISWI unit?
A ‘‘CISWI’’ unit is any unit located at
a commercial or industrial facility that
combusts any amount of solid waste, as
defined in 40 CFR part 241, that is not
otherwise exempted from CISWI. See 40
CFR 60.2555 (listing solid waste
incineration units that are not subject to
CISWI). The affected facility under
CISWI is each individual CISWI unit.
This proposed federal plan defines four
subcategories for existing CISWI units in
40 CFR part 62.14840 of subpart III:
Incinerators (i.e., units designed to burn
discarded waste materials for the
purpose of disposal); small, remote
incinerators; energy recovery units
(ERUs) (i.e., units that would be boilers
or process heaters if they did not
combust solid waste); and waste
burning kilns (i.e., units that would be
cement kilns if they did not combust
solid waste). We have further
subcategorized ERUs into three
subcategories and waste burning kilns
into two subcategories for CO emission
limits only.
B. Does the federal plan apply to me?
The federal plan will apply to the
owner or operator of an existing CISWI
unit that was constructed on or before

modification or reconstruction after
June 4, 2010, but no later than August
7, 2013, and that is not subject to an
approved and effective state plan as of
the effective date of the final federal
plan notice.6 The federal plan would
apply to the CISWI unit until the EPA
approves a state plan that regulates the
CISWI unit and that state plan becomes
effective.7 If the construction of a CISWI
unit began after June 4, 2010, or
modification of a CISWI unit began after
August 7, 2013, the unit is a new CISWI
unit and would be subject to the NSPS
at 40 CFR part 60, subpart CCCC. The
specific applicability of the proposed
federal plan is described at 40 CFR
62.14510 through 62.14531 of subpart III
in the proposed rule.
This action will not preclude states
from submitting a state plan at a later
time. If a state submits a plan after the
promulgation of the CISWI Federal Plan,
the EPA will review and approve or
disapprove the state plan.8 If the EPA

the document published in the Federal Register
announcing the EPA’s approval of the plan.

a state that the EPA has reviewed and approved
based on the requirements in 40 CFR part 60,

approves a plan, then the CISWI Federal
Plan will no longer apply to CISWI units
covered by the state plan. If a CISWI
unit was overlooked by a state and the
state submitted a negative declaration
letter, or if an individual CISWI unit
was not covered by an approved and
effective state plan, the CISWI unit
would be subject to the federal plan
after the effective date of the final plan.
C. How do I determine if my CISWI unit
is covered by an approved and effective
state plan?
Part 62 of Title 40 of the CFR
identifies the status of approval and
promulgation of CAA section 111(d) and
CAA section 129(b) state plans for
designated facilities in each state.
However, the print version of 40 CFR
part 62 is updated only once per year.
Thus, if 40 CFR part 62 does not
indicate that a state has an approved
and effective plan, please contact the
state environmental agency’s air director
or the EPA’s Regional office (see Table
3 in section II.C of this preamble) to
determine if a state plan was approved
since publication of the most recent
version of 40 CFR part 62. Also note that
the Electronic Code of Federal
subpart B, to implement 40 CFR part 60, subpart
DDDD.
E:\FR\FM\11JAP4.SGM
11JAP4
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 7 / Wednesday, January 11, 2017 / Proposed Rules
Regulations (https://www.ecfr.gov/cgibin/ECFR?page=browse) is updated
periodically, so may be a better source
to obtain an update on state plan status.
IV. Elements of the CISWI Federal Plan
Sections 111(d) and 129 of the CAA,
as amended, 42 U.S.C. 7411(d) and
7429(b)(2), require states to develop and
implement state plans for CISWI units
to implement and enforce the final EG.
Accordingly, subpart DDDD of 40 CFR
part 60 requires states to submit state
plans that include specified elements.
Because this proposed federal plan will
establish standards in the absence of an
approved and effective state plan, this
proposed plan includes the same
essential elements as a state plan: (1)
Identification of legal authority and
mechanisms for implementation; (2)
inventory of CISWI units; (3) emissions
inventory; (4) compliance schedules; (5)
emissions limits and operating limits;
(6) operator training and qualification;
(7) testing, monitoring, recordkeeping,
and reporting; (8) public hearing; and
(9) progress reporting. See Proposed
regulations at 40 CFR part 62, subpart III
and sections 111 and 129 of the CAA.
Below, we explain the proposed federal
plan elements in detail.
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PROPOSALS4
A. Legal Authority and Enforcement
Mechanism
Sections 111(d) and 129(b)(3) of the
CAA direct the EPA to develop a federal
plan for states that do not submit
approvable state plans. Sections 111 and
129 of the CAA provide the EPA with
the authority to implement and enforce
the federal plan in cases where the state
fails to submit a satisfactory state plan.
Pursuant to section 129(f)(2),
compliance with the EG cannot be later
than 5 years after the relevant EG are
promulgated (i.e., by February 7, 2018).9
B. Inventory of Affected CISWI Units
The docket for the proposed federal
plan includes an inventory of the CISWI
units that may potentially be covered by
this federal plan in the absence of
approved state plans. (See Docket ID No.
EPA–HQ–OAR–2016–0664 and 40 CFR
62.14521.) This inventory contains 106
CISWI units in 28 states. It is based on
information collected from EPA
Regions, states, CISWI facilities, and
review of existing CISWI inventories,
title V permits, emissions test reports,
and facility Web sites. The EPA
recognizes that this list may not be
complete. Therefore, sources potentially
subject to this proposed federal plan
may include, but are not limited to, the
9 See 78 FR 9125–6 (February 7, 2013) for further
discussion on compliance dates.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:31 Jan 10, 2017
Jkt 241001
CISWI units listed in Docket No. EPA–
HQ–OAR–2016–0664. Any unit that
meets the applicability criteria in the
proposed federal plan rule will be
subject to the federal plan, regardless of
whether it is listed in the inventory. The
EPA requests that states or individuals
identify additional sources for inclusion
on the list during the comment period
for this proposal.
C. Inventory of Emissions
This proposed federal plan includes
emissions estimates for existing CISWI
units. The pollutants inventoried are
Cd, CO, polychlorinated dibenzo-pdioxins/polychlorinated dibenzofurans
(PCDD/PCDF), HCl, Pb, Hg, PM, NOX,
and SO2. For this proposal, the EPA has
estimated the emissions from each
known CISWI unit that potentially may
be covered by the proposed federal plan
for the nine pollutants regulated by the
EG and covered by the proposed federal
plan. The emissions inventory is based
on available information about CISWI
units and typical emissions rates
developed for calculating nationwide air
impacts of the EG. Refer to the inventory
memorandum ‘‘CISWI Federal Plan
Inventory,’’ December 9, 2016 in Docket
No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2016–0664 for the
complete updated emissions inventory.
D. Compliance Schedules
The CAA provides that owners or
operators of affected CISWI units must
comply no later than 5 years after the
effective date of the final CISWI EG (i.e.,
February 7, 2018) or within 3 years from
state plan approval (or promulgation of
a federal plan), whichever is earlier. See
CAA section 129(f)(2). The EPA aims to
take final action on this proposal in
2017 and, thus, proposes to allow the
maximum time statutorily permitted for
compliance with the federal plan, that is
until February 7, 2018.
E. Emissions Limits and Operating
Limits
The proposed federal plan contains
emissions limits that correspond to the
final CISWI EG. (See 40 CFR 62.14630
through 62.14645.) The emissions limits
in this proposed CISWI Federal Plan are
the same as those contained in the final
CISWI EG. (See proposed Table 5 of this
preamble.) This action does not revise
the final limits; instead, it simply
implements the previously promulgated
limits for existing sources in states that
have not adopted a state plan. Section
V.C of this preamble discusses the final
CISWI EG emissions limits.
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
3559
F. Operator Training and Qualification
Requirements
The proposed federal plan requires
that the owner or operator must qualify
operators or their supervisors (at least
one per facility) by ensuring that they
complete an operator training course
and annual review or refresher course.
(See 40 CFR 62.14595 through
62.14625.) This proposed federal plan
also contains operator training and
qualification requirements that
correspond to the final CISWI EG.
G. Testing, Monitoring, Recordkeeping,
and Reporting Requirements
The proposed federal plan includes
testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, and
reporting requirements. (See 40 CFR
62.14650 through 62.14760.) These
proposed requirements correspond with
the final CISWI EG. Testing, monitoring,
recordkeeping and reporting
requirements will assure initial and
ongoing compliance.
H. Record of Public Hearings
This proposed federal plan provides
an opportunity for public participation
in adopting the plan. If requested to do
so, the EPA will hold a public hearing
at the EPA’s office buildings in
Washington, DC. A record of the public
hearing, if any, will appear in Docket ID
No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2016–0664. If a
public hearing is requested and held,
the EPA may ask clarifying questions
during the oral presentation, but will
not respond to the presentations or
comments at that time. Written
statements and supporting information
submitted during the public comment
period will be considered with
equivalent weight as any oral statement
and supporting information
subsequently presented at a public
hearing, if held.
I. Progress Reports
The proposed federal plan requests
that the EPA Regional Offices prepare
annual progress reports to show the
progress of CISWI units toward
implementation of the EG. States that
have been delegated the authority to
implement and enforce this federal plan
will be required to submit annual
progress reports to the appropriate EPA
Regional Office as part of their
delegation (See section VII.D). Each
progress report must include the
following items: (1) Status of
enforcement actions; (2) identification
of sources that have shut down or
started operation; (3) emissions
inventory data for sources that were not
in operation at the time of plan
development, but that began operation
during the reporting period; (4)

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 7 / Wednesday, January 11, 2017 / Proposed Rules
additional data as necessary to update
previously submitted source and
emissions information; and (5) copies of
technical reports on any performance
testing and monitoring. The EPA plans
to request that the EPA Regional offices
prepare progress reports to show the
progress of CISWI units towards the
implementation of EG.

sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PROPOSALS4
A. What are the proposed applicability
requirements?
The proposed federal plan
applicability reflects the final CISWI EG.
The proposed federal plan applies to
existing CISWI units meeting the
applicability of 40 CFR 62.14510 that
are located in any state that does not
currently have an approved state plan in
place. Existing CISWI units are all
CISWI units for which construction
commenced on or before June 4, 2010.
All CISWI units for which construction
commenced after June 4, 2010, or for
which modification or reconstruction
commenced after August 7, 2013, are
‘‘new’’ sources subject to NSPS
emissions limits (40 CFR part 60,
subpart CCCC). The federal plan
requirements apply to owners and/or
operators of incineration units
combusting solid waste (as defined
under RCRA) and located at commercial
or industrial facilities (i.e., CISWI units
(as defined in the proposed rule at 40
CFR 62.14840)). Four subcategories are
defined for existing units: incinerators
(i.e., units designed to burn discarded
waste materials for the purpose of
disposal); small, remote incinerators;
ERUs (i.e., units that would be boilers or
process heaters if they did not combust
solid waste); and waste burning kilns
(i.e., units that would be cement kilns if
they did not combust solid waste). The
final CISWI EG further subcategorized
ERUs into three subcategories and waste
burning kilns into two subcategories for
CO emission limits only.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:31 Jan 10, 2017
Jkt 241001
B. What are the proposed compliance
schedules?
The proposed federal plan requires
owners or operators of CISWI units to
come into compliance by February 7,
2018. The final CISWI EG included
increments of progress in the
compliance schedule. However, we are
not including increments of progress as
a compliance pathway for the proposed
federal plan. Increments of progress
were included in the EG to establish
obligations that would apply to sources
planning to take more than one year
from approval of the state plan to
comply. The increments would help
ensure that sources planning to take
more than one year to comply would
make some incremental progress toward
compliance after the first year. The
increments did not require any
additional action within one year of
approval of a state plan (or
promulgation of a federal plan). The
EPA aims to take final action on this
proposal in 2017. As explained above
(see section IV.D of this preamble), the
statute requires all sources to fully
comply by February 2018 (i.e., 5 years
after promulgation of the relevant EG).
As explained above, the increments of
progress contained in the final EG do
not require any additional action within
one year of promulgation of a federal
plan. Thus, including the increments of
progress in this federal plan would
serve no meaningful purpose and may
create confusion. For this reason, the
EPA is not proposing to include
increments of progress in this federal
plan.
If a CISWI unit does not achieve final
compliance by February 7, 2018, the
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
proposed federal plan requires the
CISWI unit to shut down by February 7,
2018, complete the retrofit while not
operating, and be in compliance upon
restarting. A CISWI unit that operates
out of compliance after the final
compliance date would be in violation
of the federal plan and subject to
enforcement action.
C. What emissions and operating limits
is the EPA proposing to incorporate into
the federal plan?
The EPA proposes to incorporate the
EG emissions and operating limits from
the final CISWI EG into this proposed
CISWI Federal Plan. Table 5 of this
preamble summarizes the EG emissions
limits promulgated, as well as provides
the existing CISWI Federal Plan
emission limits (currently applicable
only to existing incinerators) for
comparison. Existing sources may
comply with either the PCDD/PCDF
toxicity equivalence or total mass
balance emission limits. These
standards apply at all times. Facilities
will be required to establish site-specific
operating limits derived from the results
of performance testing. The site-specific
operating limits are established as the
minimum (or maximum, as appropriate)
operating parameter value measured
during the performance test. These
operating limits will result in achievable
operating ranges that will ensure that
the control devices used for compliance
will be operated to achieve continuous
compliance with the emissions limits.
Further discussion on performance
testing can be found in section V.D of
this preamble.

D. What are the proposed performance
testing and monitoring requirements?
The EPA is proposing several
performance testing and monitoring
provisions amendments to the current
2003 CISWI Federal Plan that are
consistent with the requirements of the
final CISWI EG. The following
paragraphs list a number of testing and
monitoring requirements in the final
CISWI EG that are being proposed in the
CISWI Federal Plan.
1. Performance Testing and Monitoring
The proposed federal plan requires all
CISWI units to demonstrate initial and
continuous compliance with the final
CISWI EG emission limits. These
provisions require initial and annual
performance tests and initial and annual
inspections of scrubbers, fabric filters
(FF), and other air pollution control
devices that are used to meet the
emission limits. In addition, a Method
22 (40 CFR part 60, appendix A–7)
visible emissions test of the ash
handling operations is required during
the initial and annual compliance test
for all subcategories except wasteburning kilns, which do not have ash
handling systems. Furthermore, for any
CISWI unit that operates a FF air
pollution control device, we are
requiring that a bag leak detection
system be installed to monitor the
device. The proposed federal plan
continues to require parametric
monitoring of all other add-on air
pollution control devices, such as wet
scrubbers, dry scrubbers and activated
carbon injection (ACI). CISWI units that
install selective non-catalytic reduction
technology to reduce NOX emissions are
required to monitor the reagent (e.g.,
ammonia or urea) injection rate and
secondary chamber temperature (if
applicable to the CISWI unit). This
proposed federal plan also requires
subcategory-specific monitoring
requirements in addition to the
aforementioned inspection, bag leak
detection, and parametric monitoring
requirements that are applicable to all
CISWI units. Existing incinerators,
small, remote incinerators, and ERUs
would have annual emissions testing for
all nine pollutants: PM, SO2, HCl, NOX,
CO, Pb, Cd, Hg, and dioxins and furans.
Waste-burning kilns are required to
monitor Hg and HCl (if no scrubber)
emissions using a continuous emissions
monitoring system, monitor PM
emissions using a PM continuous
parameter monitoring system (PM
CPMS), and perform annual testing for
the remaining pollutants. The proposed
federal plan provides reduced annual
testing requirements for all nine
pollutants when testing results are
shown to be well below the limits. If an
ERU has a design capacity greater than
250 Million British Thermal units per
hour, we are requiring a PM CPMS for
PM monitoring for these units. For the
PM CPMS, the EPA is further requiring
that a site-specific parametric operating
limit be established during the
performance test, that there be
continuous monitoring of that
parametric limit using a PM CPMS, that
four deviations within a 12-month
operating period constitutes a violation
and triggers immediate corrective action
and a Method 5 performance test within
30 days with an additional 15 days to
reestablish a site-specific operating
limit. Consistent with the final CISWI
EG, we propose that all operating
parameter averaging for ERU units be on
a 30-day rolling average and allow the
sorbent injection parameter to be
adjusted based on the ERU’s load. These
testing and monitoring provisions
reflect those in the final CISWI EG.
The proposed federal plan
incorporates by reference three
alternatives to the EPA reference test
methods as shown in Table 6 below.

2. Electronic Data Submittal
The EPA is proposing that owners and
operators of CISWI units are required to
submit electronic copies of certain
required performance test reports
through the EPA’s Central Data
Exchange (CDX) using the Compliance
and Emissions Data Reporting Interface
(CEDRI). This mirrors the final CISWI
EG for CISWI units. The EPA believes
that the electronic submittal of the
reports addressed in this proposed
rulemaking will increase the usefulness
of the data contained in those reports,
is in keeping with current trends in data
availability, will further assist in the
protection of public health and the
environment and will ultimately result
in less burden on the regulated
community. It also will improve
compliance by facilitating the ability of
regulated facilities to demonstrate
compliance and the ability of air
agencies and the EPA to assess and
determine compliance. Under current
requirements, paper reports are often
stored in filing cabinets or boxes, which
make the reports more difficult to obtain
and use for data analysis and sharing.
Electronic storage of such reports would
make data more accessible for review,
analyses, and sharing. Electronic
reporting can also eliminate paperbased, manual processes, thereby saving
time and resources, simplifying data
entry, eliminating redundancies,
minimizing data reporting errors and
providing data quickly and accurately to
the affected facilities, air agencies, the
EPA and the public.
In 2011, in response to Executive
Order 13563, the EPA developed a
plan 10 to periodically review its
10 EPA’s Final Plan for Periodic Retrospective
Reviews, August 2011. Available at: https://

regulations to determine if they should
be modified, streamlined, expanded or
repealed in an effort to make regulations
more effective and less burdensome.
The plan includes replacing outdated
paper reporting with electronic
reporting. In keeping with this plan and
the White House’s Digital Government
Strategy,11 in 2013 the EPA issued an
agency-wide policy specifying that new
regulations will require reports to be
electronic to the maximum extent
possible. By requiring electronic
submission of specified reports in this
proposed rule, the EPA is taking steps
to implement this policy.
The EPA Web site that stores the
submitted electronic data, WebFIRE,
will be easily accessible to everyone and
will provide a user-friendly interface
that any stakeholder could access. By
making data readily available, electronic
reporting increases the amount of data
that can be used for many purposes.
One example is the development of
emissions factors. An emissions factor is
a representative value that attempts to
relate the quantity of a pollutant
released to the atmosphere with an
activity associated with the release of
that pollutant (e.g., kilograms of
particulate emitted per megagram of
coal burned). Such factors facilitate the
estimation of emissions from various
sources of air pollution and are an
important tool in developing emissions
inventories, which in turn are the basis
for numerous efforts, including trends
analysis, regional and local scale air
quality modeling, regulatory impact
assessments, and human exposure
modeling. Emissions factors are also
widely used in regulatory applicability
determinations and in permitting
decisions.

§§ 62.14670(r)(3).
The EPA has received feedback from
stakeholders asserting that many of the
EPA’s emissions factors are outdated or
not representative of a particular
industry emission source. While the
EPA believes that the emissions factors
are suitable for their intended purpose,
we recognize that the quality of
emissions factors varies based on the
extent and quality of underlying data.
We also recognize that emissions
profiles on different pieces of
equipment can change over time due to
a number of factors (fuel changes,
equipment improvements, industry
work practices), and it is important for
emissions factors to be updated to keep
up with these changes. The EPA is
currently pursuing emissions factor
development improvements that
include procedures to incorporate the
source test data that we are proposing be
submitted electronically. By requiring
the electronic submission of the reports
identified in this proposed action, the
EPA would be able to access and use the
submitted data to update emissions
factors more quickly and efficiently,
creating factors that are characteristic of
what is currently representative of the
relevant industry sector. Likewise, an
increase in the number of test reports
used to develop the emissions factors
will provide more confidence that the
factor is of higher quality and
representative of the whole industry
sector.
Additionally, by making the records,
data, and reports addressed in this
proposed rulemaking readily available,
the EPA, the regulated community, and
the public will benefit when the EPA
conducts its CAA-required technology
and risk-based reviews. As a result of
having performance test reports and air
emission reports readily accessible, our
ability to carry out comprehensive
reviews will be increased and achieved
within a shorter period of time. These
data will provide useful information on
control efficiencies being achieved and
maintained in practice within a source

category and across source categories for
regulated sources and pollutants. These
reports can also be used to inform the
technology-review process by providing
information on improvements to add-on
control technology and new control
technology.
Under an electronic reporting system,
the EPA’s Office of Air Quality Planning
and Standards (OAQPS) would have air
emissions and performance test data in
hand; OAQPS would not have to collect
these data from the EPA Regional offices
or from delegated air agencies or
industry sources in cases where these
reports are not submitted to the EPA
Regional offices. Thus, we anticipate
fewer or less substantial information
collection requests (ICRs) in conjunction
with prospective CAA-required
technology and risk-based reviews may
be needed. We expect this to result in
a decrease in time spent by industry to
respond to data collection requests. We
also expect the ICRs to contain less
extensive stack testing provisions, as we
will already have stack test data
electronically. Reduced testing
requirements would be a cost savings to
industry. The EPA should also be able
to conduct these required reviews more
quickly, as OAQPS will not have to
include the ICR collection time in the
process or spend time collecting reports
from the EPA Regional Offices. While
the regulated community may benefit
from a reduced burden of ICRs, the
general public benefits from the
agency’s ability to provide these
required reviews more quickly, resulting
in increased public health and
environmental protection.
Electronic reporting could minimize
submission of unnecessary or
duplicative reports in cases where
facilities report to multiple government
agencies and the agencies opt to rely on
the EPA’s electronic reporting system to
view report submissions. Where air
agencies continue to require a paper
copy of these reports and will accept a
hard copy of the electronic report,
facilities will have the option to print
paper copies of the electronic reporting
forms to submit to the air agencies, and,
thus, minimize the time spent reporting
to multiple agencies. Additionally,
maintenance and storage costs
associated with retaining paper records
could likewise be minimized by
replacing those records with electronic
records of electronically submitted data
and reports.
Air agencies could benefit from more
streamlined and automated review of
the electronically submitted data. For
example, because the performance test
data would be readily-available in a
standard electronic format, air agencies
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:31 Jan 10, 2017
Jkt 241001
would be able to review reports and
data electronically rather than having to
conduct a review of the reports and data
manually. Having reports and associated
data in electronic format will facilitate
review through the use of software
‘‘search’’ options, as well as the
downloading and analyzing of data in
spreadsheet format. Additionally, air
agencies would benefit from the
reported data being accessible to them
through the EPA’s electronic reporting
system wherever and whenever they
want or need access (as long as they
have access to the Internet). The ability
to access and review air emission report
information electronically will assist air
agencies to more quickly and accurately
determine compliance with the
applicable regulations, potentially
allowing a faster response to violations
which could minimize harmful air
emissions. This benefits both air
agencies and the general public.
The proposed electronic reporting of
data is consistent with electronic data
trends (e.g., electronic banking and
income tax filing). Electronic reporting
of environmental data is already
common practice in many media offices
at the EPA. The changes being proposed
in this rulemaking are needed to
continue the EPA’s transition to
electronic reporting.
E. What are the proposed recordkeeping
and reporting requirements?
The EPA is proposing requirements
that reflect those finalized in the final
CISWI EG. The federal plan requires
that records of all initial and all
subsequent stack or performance
specification (PS) tests, deviation
reports, operating parameter data,
continuous monitoring data,
maintenance and inspections of air
pollution control devices, monitoring
plan, and operator training and
qualification must be maintained for 5
years. The results of the stack tests and
PS test and values for operating
parameters are required to be included
in initial and subsequent compliance
reports. Any incident of deviation,
resumed operation following shutdown,
force majeure, intent to stop or start use
of Continuous Regulatory Systems
(CMS), and intent of conducting or
rescheduling a performance test are
required to be reported to the
Administrator. Furthermore, final
compliance reports are required
following the completion of each
requirement and identifying any missed
requirement. See section V.B of this
preamble for a more detailed discussion
of the compliance schedules.

Sfmt 4702
3563
F. What are the other proposed
requirements?
As discussed in several portions of
this preamble, we are proposing
requirements for the federal plan to
make it consistent with the final CISWI
EG. While many of these requirements
were significantly different from those
currently in the CISWI Federal Plan,
there are some that differ very little, if
at all. Some requirements that differ
little from those in the current CISWI
Federal Plan include the requirements
for owners or operators of existing
CISWI units to meet operator training
and qualification requirements, which
include: Ensuring that at least one
operator or supervisor per facility
complete the operator training course,
that qualified operator(s) or
supervisor(s) complete an annual review
or refresher course specified in the
regulation, and that they maintain plantspecific information, updated annually,
regarding training.
Another such requirement is that
owners or operators of existing CISWI
units are required to submit a
monitoring plan for any CMS or bag leak
detection system used to comply with
the rule.
VI. CISWI Units That Have or Will Shut
Down
A. Units That Plan to Close
The proposed federal plan establishes
that if owners or operators plan to
permanently close currently operating
CISWI units, they must do so and
submit a closure notification to the
Administrator by August 7, 2017. The
proposed requirements for closing a
CISWI unit will be set forth at 40 CFR
62.14570, subpart III. Conversely, the
CISWI requirements do apply to a
‘‘mothballed unit’’ or inactive unit,
where a unit does not operate, but it is
not rendered inoperable. Until such
time as a unit is permanently closed, it
must comply with any applicable
requirements of the federal plan. In
addition, while still in operation, the
CISWI unit is subject to the same
requirements for title V operating
permits that apply to units that will
continue to operate.
B. Inoperable Units
The federal plan provides that in
cases where a CISWI unit has already
shut down permanently and has been
rendered inoperable (e.g., waste charge
door is welded shut, stack is removed,
combustion air blowers removed,
burners or fuel supply equipment are
removed), the CISWI unit may be left off
the source inventory in a state plan or
this proposed federal plan. A CISWI
E:\FR\FM\11JAP4.SGM
11JAP4
3564
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 7 / Wednesday, January 11, 2017 / Proposed Rules
unit that has been rendered inoperable
would not be covered by the federal
plan.
C. CISWI Units That Have Shut Down
The unit inventory for this federal
plan includes any CISWI unit known to
have already shut down (but not known
to be inoperable).
1. Restarting Before the Final
Compliance Date
If the owner or operator of an inactive
CISWI unit plans to restart before the
final compliance date, the owner or
operator must achieve final compliance
by February 7, 2018.
2. Restarting After the Final Compliance
Date
Under the proposed federal plan, if
the owner or operator of a CISWI unit
closes the CISWI unit, but restarts the
unit after the final compliance date of
February 7, 2018, the owner or operator
must complete emission control retrofits
and meet the emissions and operating
limits on the date the CISWI unit
restarts operation. Within 6 months of
the unit startup, operator(s) of these
CISWI units would have to complete the
operator training and qualification
requirements. Within 60 days of
installing an air pollution control
device, operator(s) must conduct a unit
inspection. Performance testing to
demonstrate initial compliance would
also be required as described at 40 CFR
62.14650. A CISWI unit may not use the
provisions to close the CISWI unit and
restart after the compliance date to gain
an effective ‘‘extension’’ of the operator
training and qualification requirements
or initial compliance requirements. A
CISWI unit that operates out of
compliance after the final compliance
date would be in violation of the federal
plan and subject to enforcement action.

VII. Implementation of the Federal Plan
and Delegation
A. Background of Authority
Under sections 111(d) and 129(b) of
the CAA, the EPA is required to adopt
EG that are applicable to existing solid
waste incineration units. These EG are
implemented when the EPA approves a
state plan or adopts a federal plan that
implements and enforces the EG. As
discussed above, the federal plan
regulates CISWI units in states that do
not have approved plans in effect to
implement the EG.
Congress has determined that the
primary responsibility for air pollution
prevention and control rests with state
and local agencies. (See section
101(a)(3) of the CAA.) Consistent with
that overall determination, Congress
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:31 Jan 10, 2017
Jkt 241001
established sections 111 and 129 of the
CAA with the intent that the state and
local agencies take the primary
responsibility for ensuring that the
emissions limitations and other
requirements in the EG are achieved.
Also, in section 111(d) of the CAA,
Congress explicitly required that the
EPA establish procedures that are
similar to those under CAA section
110(c) for state implementation plans.
Although Congress required the EPA to
propose and promulgate a federal plan
for states that fail to submit approvable
state plans on time, states may submit
plans after promulgation of the CISWI
Federal Plan. The EPA strongly
encourages states that are unable to
submit approvable plans to request
delegation of the federal plan so that
they can have primary responsibility for
implementing the final CISWI EG,
consistent with the intent of Congress.
The preferred outcome under the
statute and the regulations results when
the state, tribal, and local agencies
implement the EPA approved state (or
tribal) plan because state, tribal, and
local agencies not only have the
responsibility to implement the final
CISWI EG, but also have the practical
knowledge and enforcement resources
critical to achieving the highest rate of
compliance. In cases where states are
unable to develop and submit
approvable state plans, it is still
preferable for the state and local
agencies to be the implementing agency.
For these reasons, the EPA will do all
that it can to expedite delegation of the
federal plan to state, tribal, and local
agencies, whenever possible, in cases
where states are unable to develop and
submit approvable state plans. The EPA
will also continue to review and
approve state plans after promulgation
of the CISWI Federal Plan.
B. Mechanisms for Transferring
Authority
There are two mechanisms for
transferring implementation authority to
state, tribal, and local agencies: (1) The
EPA approval of a state plan after the
federal plan is in effect; and (2) if a state
does not submit or obtain approval of its
own plan, the EPA delegation to a state,
tribe, or local agency with the authority
to implement certain portions of this
federal plan to the extent appropriate
and if allowed by state law. Both of
these options are described in more
detail below.
1. Federal Plan Becomes Effective Prior
To Approval of a State Plan
After CISWI units in a state become
subject to the federal plan, the state or
tribal agency may still adopt and submit
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
a state or tribal plan to the EPA. If the
EPA determines that the state or tribal
plan is as protective as the final CISWI
EG, the EPA will approve the state or
tribal plan. If the EPA determines that
the plan is not as protective as the final
CISWI EG, the EPA may approve the
portions of the plan that are consistent
with the final CISWI EG. If a state or
tribal plan is approved in part, the
federal plan will apply to the affected
CISWI units in lieu of the disapproved
portions of the state plan until the state
or tribe addresses the deficiencies in the
state plan and the revised state plan is
approved by the EPA. Prior to any
disapproval, the EPA will work with
states and tribes to attempt to reconcile
areas of the plan that remain
inconsistent with the EG.
Upon the effective date of a state or
tribal plan, the federal plan would no
longer apply to CISWI units covered by
such a plan and the state, tribe, territory,
or local agency would implement and
enforce the state plan in lieu of the
federal plan. When an EPA regional
office approves a state or tribal plan, it
will amend the appropriate subpart of
40 CFR part 62 to indicate such
approval.
2. State, Tribe, Territory, or Local
Agency Taking Delegation of the Federal
Plan
The EPA, in its discretion, may
delegate to state, tribe, territorial, or
local agencies the authority to
implement this federal plan. As
discussed above, the EPA has concluded
that it is advantageous and the best use
of resources for states, tribes, territories,
or local agencies to agree to undertake,
on the EPA’s behalf, administrative and
substantive roles in implementing the
federal plan to the extent appropriate
and where authorized by federal, state,
tribal, territorial, or local law. If a state,
tribe, territory, or local agency requests
delegation, the EPA will generally
delegate the entire federal plan to the
state, tribe, territory, or local agency.
These functions include administration
and oversight of compliance, and
reporting and recordkeeping
requirements, CISWI unit inspections
and preparation of draft notices of
violation, but will not include any
authorities retained by the EPA.
Agencies that have taken delegation, as
well as the EPA, will have responsibility
for bringing enforcement actions against
sources violating federal plan
provisions.
C. Implementing Authority
The EPA Regional Administrators
have been delegated the authority for
implementing the CISWI Federal Plan.

sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PROPOSALS4
D. Delegation of the Federal Plan and
Retained Authorities
If a state, tribe, territory, or local
agency intends to take delegation of the
federal plan, the state, tribe, territory, or
local agency should submit to the
appropriate EPA regional office a
written request for delegation of
authority. The state, tribe, territory, or
local agency should explain how it
meets the criteria for delegation. See
generally ‘‘Good Practices Manual for
Delegation of NSPS and NESHAP’’
(EPA, February 1983). The letter
requesting delegation of authority to
implement the federal plan should: (1)
Demonstrate that the state, tribe,
territory, or local agency has adequate
resources, as well as the legal authority
to administer and enforce the program,
(2) include an inventory of affected
CISWI units, which includes those that
have ceased operation, but have not
been dismantled or rendered inoperable,
and an inventory of the affected units’
air emissions and a provision for state
progress reports to the EPA, (3) certify
that a public hearing is held on the
state, tribe, territory, or local agency
delegation request, and (4) include a
memorandum of agreement between the
state, tribe, territory, or local agency and
the EPA that sets forth the terms and
conditions of the delegation, the
effective date of the agreement and the
mechanism to transfer authority. Upon
signature of the agreement, the
appropriate EPA Regional office would
publish an approval notice in the
Federal Register, thereby incorporating
the delegation of authority into the
appropriate subpart of 40 CFR part 62.
If authority is not delegated to a state,
tribe, territory, or local agency, the EPA
will implement the federal plan. Also, if
a state, tribe, territory, or local agency
fails to properly implement a delegated
portion of the federal plan, the EPA will
assume direct implementation and
enforcement of that portion. The EPA
will continue to hold enforcement
authority along with the state, tribe,
territory, or local agency even when the
agency has received delegation of the
federal plan. In all cases where the
federal plan is delegated, the EPA will
retain and will not transfer authority to
a state, tribe, or local agency to approve
the following items promulgated in the
final CISWI EG:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
1. Approval of alternatives to the emission
limitations in table 5 of this document and

2. Approval of major alternatives to test
methods;
3. Approval of major alternatives to

4. Approval of major alternatives to

9. Performance test and data reduction
waivers under § 60.8(b)(4) and (5);
10. Determination of whether a qualifying
small power production facility or
cogeneration facility under § 62.14525(e) or
(f) is combusting homogenous waste; and
11. Approval of an alternative to any
electronic reporting to the EPA required by
this subpart.
CISWI unit owners or operators who
wish to petition the agency for any
alternative requirement should submit a
request to the Regional Administrator
with a copy sent to the appropriate
state.
VIII. Title V Operating Permits
All existing CISWI units regulated
under state, tribal, or federal plans
implementing the final CISWI EG must
operate in a manner consistent with a
title V operating permit that assures
compliance with all federally applicable
requirements for any regulated CISWI
units, including all applicable CAA
section 129 requirements.12
The permit application deadline for a
CAA section 129 source applying for a
title V operating permit depends on
when the source first becomes subject to
the relevant title V permit program.
Because existing major sources are
subject to title V,13 major source
facilities that contain existing CISWI
units should already have a title V
permit. In such cases, the source must
comply with the title V permit revision
provisions of the relevant state title V
program instead of applying for a title
V permit. In contrast, the application
deadline would be important to CISWI
units at facilities that are not subject to
the title V permit program for other
reasons. Such sources with an existing
CISWI unit subject to this proposed
federal plan must submit a complete
title V permit application by the earliest
of the following dates:
• Twelve (12) months after the effective date
of any applicable EPA-approved CAA
sections 111(d)/129 plan (i.e., approved
12 40
CFR 70.2, 70.6(a)(1), 71.2, and 71.6(a)(1).
Section 503(c) and 40 CFR 70.3(a) and (b),
70.5(a)(1)(i), 71.3(a) and (b), and 71.5(a)(1)(i).

state or tribal plan that implements the
final CISWI EG); or
• Twelve (12) months after the effective date
of any applicable federal plan; or
• Thirty-six (36) months after promulgation
of 40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD (i.e.,
February 7, 2016).
For any existing CISWI unit not
subject to an earlier permit application
deadline, the application deadline of
February 7, 2016, which is in the past,
applies regardless of whether or when
any applicable federal plan is effective,
or whether or when any applicable CAA
sections 111(d)/129 plan is approved by
the EPA and becomes effective. (See
CAA sections 129(e), 503(c), 503(d),
502(a), and 40 CFR 70.5(a)(1)(i) and
71.5(a)(1)(i).)

the interface between CAA section 129
and title V, including the EPA’s
interpretation of CAA section 129(e), see

and Industrial Solid Waste Incinerators,
October 3, 2003, (68 FR 57518, 57532).
See also the final federal plan for
Hospital Medical Infectious Waste
Incinerators, August 15, 2000, (65 FR

A. Title V and Delegation of a Federal
Plan
As noted previously, issuance of a
title V permit is not equivalent to the
approval of a state or tribal plan or
delegation of a federal plan.14 Legally,
delegation of a standard or requirement
results in a delegated state, local, or
tribal agency standing in for the EPA as
a matter of federal law. This means that
obligations a source may have to the
EPA under a federally promulgated
standard become obligations to a state,
tribal, or local agency (except for
functions that the EPA retains for itself)
upon delegation.15 Although a state,
local, or tribal agency may have the
authority under state, local, or tribal law
to incorporate CAA section 111/129
requirements into its title V permits,
and implement and enforce these
requirements in these permits without
first taking delegation of the CAA
section 111/129 federal plan, the state,
local, or tribal agency is not standing in
for the EPA as a matter of federal law
in this situation. Where a state, local, or

Federal Plan’’ section of the proposed federal plan
for Commercial Industrial Solid Waste Incinerators

The preamble language from this section in the
proposed federal plan for CISWI was reaffirmed in
the final federal plan for CISWI, October 3, 2003,
(68 FR 57518, 57535).
15 If the Administrator chooses to retain certain
authorities under a standard, those authorities
cannot be delegated, e.g., alternative methods of
demonstrating compliance.

title V permit is issued to the source. As
a result, the EPA maintains that an
approved 40 CFR part 70 operating
permits program cannot be used as a
mechanism to transfer the authority to
implement and enforce the federal plan
from the EPA to a state, local, or tribal
agency.
As mentioned above, a state, local, or
tribal agency may have the authority
under state, local, or tribal law to
incorporate CAA section 111/129
requirements into its title V permits,
and implement and enforce these
requirements in that context without
first taking delegation of the CAA
section 111/129 federal plan.16 Some
states, local governments, or tribes,
however, may not be able to implement
and enforce a CAA section 111/129
standard in a title V permit under state,
local, or tribal law until the CAA section
111/129 standard has been delegated. In
these situations, a state, local, or tribal
agency should not issue a 40 CFR part
70 permit to a source subject to a federal
plan before taking delegation of the
section 111/129 federal plan.
However, if a state or tribe can
provide an Attorney General’s (AG)
opinion delineating its authority to
incorporate CAA section 111/129
requirements into its title V permits,
and then implement and enforce these
requirements through its title V permits
without first taking delegation of the
requirements, then a state, local, or
tribal agency does not need to take
delegation of the CAA section 111/129
requirements for purposes of title V
permitting.17 In practical terms, without
approval of a state or tribal plan,
delegation of a federal plan, or an
adequate AG’s opinion, states, local
governments, and tribes with approved
40 CFR part 70 permitting programs
open themselves up to potential
questions regarding their authority to
issue permits containing CAA section
111/129 requirements and to assure
16 The EPA interprets the phrase ‘‘assure
compliance’’ in CAA section 502(b)(5)(A) to mean
that permitting authorities will implement and
enforce each applicable standard, regulation, or
requirement which must be included in the title V
permits the permitting authorities issue. See
definition of ‘‘applicable requirement’’ in 40 CFR
70.2. See also 40 CFR 70.4(b)(3)(i) and 70.6(a)(1).
17 It is important to note that an AG’s opinion
submitted at the time of initial title V program
approval is sufficient if it demonstrates that a state
or tribe has adequate authority to incorporate CAA
section 111/129 requirements into its title V permits
and to implement and enforce these requirements
through its title V permits without delegation and
no subsequent state law or regulation has in some
way limited that authority.

compliance with these requirements.
Such questions could lead to the
issuance of a notice of deficiency for a
state’s or tribe’s 40 CFR part 70 program.
As a result, prior to a state, local, or
tribal permitting authority drafting a
part 70 permit for a source subject to a
CAA section 111/129 federal plan, the
state, local government, or tribe, the
EPA regional office and the source in
question are advised to ensure that
delegation of the relevant federal plan
has taken place or that the permitting
authority has provided an adequate
AG’s opinion to the EPA Regional office.
In addition, if a permitting authority
chooses to rely on an AG’s opinion and
not take delegation of a federal plan, a
CAA section 111/129 source subject to
the federal plan in that state must
simultaneously submit to both the EPA
and the state, local government, or tribe
all reports required by the standard to
be submitted to the EPA. Given that
these reports are necessary to
implement and enforce the CAA section
111/129 requirements when they have
been included in title V permits, the
permitting authority needs to receive
these reports at the same time as the
EPA.
In the situation where a permitting
authority chooses to rely on an AG’s
opinion and not take delegation of a
federal plan, the EPA regional offices
will be responsible for implementing
and enforcing CAA section 111/129
requirements outside of any title V
permits. Moreover, in this situation, the
EPA regional offices will continue to be
responsible for developing progress
reports and conducting any other
administrative functions required under
this federal plan or any other CAA
section 111/129 federal plan. See,
section V.B of this preamble titled
‘‘What are the final compliance
schedules?’’.
It is important to note that the EPA is
not using its authority under 40 CFR
part 70.4(i)(3) to request that all states,
local governments, and tribes that do
not take delegation of this federal plan
submit supplemental AG’s opinions at
this time. However, the EPA regional
offices shall request, and permitting
authorities shall provide, such opinions
when the EPA questions a state’s or
tribe’s authority to incorporate CAA
section 111/129 requirements into a title
V permit and implement and enforce
these requirements in that context
without delegation.

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 for review.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
This action does not impose an
information collection burden under the
PRA. This action simply proposes the
CISWI Federal Plan to implement the
EG adopted on February 7, 2013,18 for
those states that do not have a state plan
implementing the EG.
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. EG for
owners of existing CISWI units were
established by the February 7, 2013,
final rule (78 FR 9112), and that rule
was certified as not having a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. This action
establishes a federal plan to implement
and enforce those requirements in those
states that do not have their own EPAapproved state plan for implementing
and enforcing the requirements. 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 or
uniquely affect small governments. The
action imposes no enforceable duty or
any state, local, or tribal government or
the private sector.

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 units owned or operated by
Indian tribal governments. 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 only 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 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 Orders 12866.
I. National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act (NTTAA) and 1 CFR
Part 51
This action involves technical
standards. Please reference Table 6 of
this preamble for the locations where
these standards are available. The EPA
has decided to use ANSI/ASME PTC
19.10–1981, ‘‘Flue and Exhaust Gas
Analyses,’’ for its manual methods of
measuring the oxygen or carbon dioxide
content of the exhaust gas. These parts
of ASME PTC 19.10–1981 are acceptable
alternatives to EPA Methods 6 and 7 for
the manual procedures only. The EPA
determined that this standard is
reasonably available because it is
available for purchase. Another
voluntary consensus standards (VCS),
ASTM D6784–02 (Reapproved 2008),
‘‘Standard Test Method for Elemental,
Oxidized, Particle-Bound and Total
Mercury Gas Generated from Coal-Fired
Stationary Sources (Ontario Hydro
Method)’’ for its manual method of
measuring mercury is an acceptable
alternative to Method 29 and 30B. The
EPA determined that this standard is

reasonably available because it is
available for purchase. The EPA further
determined to use OAQPS Fabric Filter
Bag Leak Detection Guidance, EPA–454/
R–98–015, September 1997, for its
guidance on the use of tiboelectic
monitors as bag leak detectors for a
fabric filter air pollution control device
and monitoring system decriptions,
selection, installation, set up,
adjustment, operation, and quality
assurance procedures. The EPA
determined that this standard is
reasonably available because it is freely
available from the EPA. Lastly, the EPA
decided to use EPA Methods 5, 6, 6C,
7, 7E, 9, 10, l0A, l0B, 22, 23, 26A, 29,
and 30B. No VCS were found for EPA
Methods 9 and 22.
While the EPA has identified 23 VCS
as being potentially applicable to the
rule, we have decided not to use these
VCS in this rulemaking. The use of
these VCS would be impractical because
they do not meet the objectives of the
standards cited in this rule. See the
docket for the final CISWI EG (Docket ID
No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2003–0119), which
are being implemented under this
action, for further information.
Under 40 CFR 62.14838, the EPA
Administrator retains the authority of
approving alternate methods of
demonstrating compliance as
established under 40 CFR 60.8(b) and 40
CFR 60.13(i), subpart A (NSPS General
Provisions). A source may apply to the
EPA for permission to use alternative
test methods or alternative monitoring
requirements in place of any required
EPA test methods, performance
specifications, or procedures.
protection for all affected populations
without having any disproportionately
high and adverse human health or
environmental effects on any
population, including any minority or
low-income population. The
amendments finalized in 2013 (made to
the 2011 CISWI final rule) do not relax
the control measures on sources
regulated by the CISWI rule, and,
therefore, will not cause emissions
increases from these sources. The March
2011 final CISWI rule will reduce
emissions of all the listed hazardous air
pollutants (HAP) emitted from this
source. This proposed federal plan
implements national standards in the
final CISWI EG that would result in
reduction in emissions of many of the
listed HAP emitted from this source.
This includes emissions of Cd, HCl, Pb,
and Hg. Other emissions reductions
include reductions of criteria pollutants
such as CO, NOX, PM and PM2.5 microns
or less, and SO2. SO2 and NOX are
precursors for the formation of PM2.5
and NOX is a precursor for ozone.
Reducing these emissions will decrease
the amount of such pollutants to which
all affected populations are exposed.
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal
Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations
The EPA believes that this action does
not have disproportionately high and
adverse human health or environmental
effects on minority populations, lowincome populations, and/or indigenous
peoples, as specified in Executive Order
12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
The documentation for this decision
is contained in this preamble section, as
well as the final CISWI EG discussion
for Executive Order 12898 (78 FR 9178,
February 7, 2013). This proposed federal
plan implements the final CISWI EG for
states that do not have an approved state
plan implementing the final CISWI EG.
As discussed in the preamble to the
2013 CISWI rule, the final CISWI EG
will not have disproportionately high
and adverse human health or
environmental effects on minority or
low-income populations because it
increases the level of environmental

Introduction
§ 62.14500
subpart?
What is the purpose of this
(a) This subpart establishes emission
requirements and compliance schedules
for the control of emissions from
commercial and industrial solid waste
incineration (CISWI) units that are not
covered, or are only partially covered,
by an EPA approved and currently
effective state or tribal plan. The
pollutants addressed by these emission
requirements are listed in Table 1 and
Tables 5 through 8 of this subpart.
These emission requirements are
developed in accordance with sections
111 and 129 of the Clean Air Act and
subpart B of 40 CFR part 60.
(b) In this subpart, ‘‘you’’ means the
owner or operator of a CISWI unit.
§ 62.14505 What are the principal
components of this subpart?
This subpart contains the eleven
major components listed in paragraphs
(a) through (k) of this section.
(a) [Reserved].
(b) Waste management plan.
(c) Operator training and
qualification.
(d) Emission limitations and operating
limits.

Applicability
§ 62.14510
Am I subject to this subpart?
(a) You are subject to this subpart if
you own or operate a CISWI unit as
defined in § 62.14840 or an air curtain
incinerator as defined in § 62.14840 and
the CISWI unit or air curtain incinerator
meets the criteria described in
paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(3) of this
section.
(1) Construction of your CISWI unit or
air curtain incinerator commenced on or
before June 4, 2010, or commenced
modification or reconstruction after
June 4, 2010 but no later than August 7,
2013.
(2) Your CISWI unit is not exempt
under § 62.14525.
(3) Your CISWI unit is not regulated
by an EPA approved and currently
effective state or tribal plan, or your
CISWI unit is located in any state whose
approved state or tribal plan is only
approved in part. In the case of a state
or tribal program that is approved in
part, the federal plan applies to affected
CISWI units in lieu of the disapproved
portions of the state or tribal program
until the state or tribe plan addresses
the deficiencies and the revised plan is
approved by the EPA.
(b) If changes to the CISWI unit are
made after August 7, 2013 that meet the
definition of modification or
reconstruction, your CISWI unit is
subject to subpart CCCC of 40 CFR part
60 and this subpart no longer applies to
that unit.
(c) If you make physical or
operational changes to your existing
CISWI unit primarily to comply with
this subpart, then such changes do not
qualify as modifications or
reconstructions under subpart CCCC of
40 CFR part 60.
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PROPOSALS4
§ 62.14515 Can my CISWI unit be covered
by both a state plan and this subpart?
(a) If your CISWI unit is located in a
state that does not have an EPAapproved state plan or your state’s plan
has not become effective, this subpart
applies to your CISWI unit until the
EPA approves a state plan that covers
your CISWI unit and that state plan
becomes effective. However, a state may
enforce the requirements of a state
regulation while your CISWI unit is still
subject to this subpart.
(b) After the EPA fully approves a
state plan covering your CISWI unit,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:31 Jan 10, 2017
Jkt 241001
and after that state plan becomes
effective, you will no longer be subject
to this subpart and will only be subject
to the approved and effective state plan.
If the state or tribal plan are only
approved in part, you will remain
subject to the federal plan to the extent
necessary to address the deficiencies in
the disapproved portions of the state or
tribal plan.
§ 62.14520 How do I determine if my CISWI
unit is covered by an approved and
effective state or tribal plan?
This part (40 CFR part 62) contains a
list of state and tribal areas with
approved Clean Air Act section 111(d)
and section 129 plans along with the
effective dates for such plans. The list
is published annually. If this part does
not indicate that your state or tribal area
has an approved and effective plan, you
should contact your state environmental
agency’s air director or your EPA
Regional Office to determine if the EPA
has approved a state plan covering your
unit since publication of the most recent
version of this subpart.
§ 62.14521 If my CISWI unit is not listed in
the federal plan inventory, am I exempt from
this subpart?
Any CISWI unit that meets the
applicability criteria in § 62.14510 is
required to comply with the applicable
emissions guidelines even if the source
is not listed in the federal plan or
otherwise applicable state or tribal plan
inventory. CISWI units subject to this
subpart are not limited to the inventory
of sources listed in Docket EPA–HQ–
OAR–2016–0664 for the federal plan. If
your CISWI units meets the
applicability criteria in § 62.14510, this
subpart applies to you whether or not
your unit is listed in the federal plan
inventory in the docket.
§ 62.14525 Can my combustion unit be
exempt from this subpart?
This subpart exempts 8 types of units,
described in paragraphs (a) and (c)
through (o) of this section, from
complying with the requirements of this
subpart with the exception of the
requirements specified in this section.
(a) Pathological waste incineration
units. Incineration units burning 90
percent or more by weight (on a
calendar quarter basis and excluding the
weight of auxiliary fuel and combustion
air) of pathological waste, low-level
radioactive waste, and/or
chemotherapeutic waste as defined in
§ 62.14840 are not subject to this
subpart if you meet the two
requirements specified in paragraphs
(a)(1) and (2) of this section.
(1) Notify the Administrator that the
unit meets these criteria.

plan?
What is a waste management
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.
§ 62.14585 When must I submit my waste
management plan?
You must submit a waste management
plan no later than November 7, 2017 or
six months prior to commencing or
recommencing burning solid waste,
whichever is later.
§ 62.14590 What should I include in 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 the source
must implement those measures
considered practical and feasible, based
on 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.
§ 62.14595 What are the operator training

§ 62.14635 What operating limits must I
meet and by when?
(a) If you use a wet scrubber to
comply with the emission limitations,
you must establish operating limits for
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.
(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 liquor flow
rate, which is calculated as the lowest
1-hour average liquor 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
hydrogen chloride 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
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
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 any 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,
and lowest reagent flow rate measured
during the most recent performance test
demonstrating compliance with the
nitrogen oxides emission limitations.

only natural gas) and plotting these with
the compliance data to find the zero
intercept; and
(D) If none of the steps in paragraphs

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

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 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 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

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

(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

milliamp or digital signals
corresponding to each PM compliance
test run.
§ 62.14640 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,

§ 62.14665 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 February 7,
2018, or the date you restart your CISWI
unit if later than February 7, 2018.
(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

Continuous Compliance Requirements
§ 62.14670 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

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

(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
performance test deadline for PM CEMS
(if PM CEMS are elected to demonstrate
continuous compliance with the
particulate matter emission limits).

(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
§ 62.14650. The annual performance test
must be conducted using the test
methods listed in table 1 or tables 5
through 8 of this subpart and the
procedures in § 62.14650. 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
§ 62.14635 or established under
§ 62.14640. 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 § 62.14640 or, for
energy recovery units, where the
averaging time for each operating
parameter is a 30-day rolling average,
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 tests 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, apppendix
A–4 (except where particulate matter
continuous monitoring system or
continuous parameter monitoring
systems are used) and the pollutants
listed in table 6 of this subpart.

demonstrate compliance with the
carbon monoxide emission limit,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:31 Jan 10, 2017
Jkt 241001
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 § 62.14690(n) instead of
the continuous parameter monitoring
system specified in § 62.14670(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 § 62.14690(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
§ 62.14690.
(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 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
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
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;
E:\FR\FM\11JAP4.SGM
11JAP4
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 7 / Wednesday, January 11, 2017 / Proposed Rules
3577
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:
(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. 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 wasteburning 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 requirements in
paragraph (l) of this section. This
requirement also applies to you if you
petition the EPA Administrator for
alternative monitoring parameters under
§ 60.13(i).
(l) For each CMS required in this
section, you must develop and submit to
the EPA Administrator for approval a

(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

The sulfur dioxide CEMS must be
operated according to performance
specification 2 in appendix B of 40 CFR
part 60 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

and
(ii) For oxygen (or carbon dioxide),
EPA Reference Method 3A or 3B, or as
an alternative ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10–
1981, Flue and Exhaust Gas Analyses
[Part 10, Instruments and Apparatus], as
applicable, must be used (see paragraph
(z) of this secion).
(2) The span value of the CEMS at the
inlet to the sulfur dioxide control device
must be 125 percent of the maximum
estimated hourly potential sulfur
dioxide emissions of the unit subject to
this rule. The span value of the CEMS
at the outlet of the sulfur dioxide
control device must be 50 percent of the
maximum estimated hourly potential
sulfur dioxide emissions of the unit
subject to this rule.
(3) Conduct accuracy determinations
quarterly and calibration drift tests daily

appendix F of 40 CFR part 60.
(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

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 40 CFR part 60.
(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
§ 62.14840 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 § 62.14635;
(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 40 CFR part 60.
(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,

(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 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
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 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
(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 wasteburning kilns. To determine the kilnspecific emission limit for
demonstrating compliance, you must:
(1) Calculate a kiln-specific emission
limit using equation 7:
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).
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).

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.
(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 § 62.14630, you must
install, calibrate (to the manufacturers’
specifications), maintain, and operate

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.

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 § 62.14670(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.
(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, electrostatic precipitator
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
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

40 CFR part 60, appendix A–8, ASTM
D6784–02 (Reapproved 2008) (see
§ 62.14670(z)), 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
§ 62.14670(j) of this subpart.
(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 40 CFR part 60, the quality
assurance procedure 1 of appendix F of
40 CFR part 60 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 § 62.14650,
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 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

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 40 CFR part 60, the quality
assurance requirements of procedure 1
of appendix F of 40 CFR part 60 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 § 62.14650,
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 § 60.13(e)(2).

(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 § 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 40 CFR part 60;

accordance with procedure 2 in
appendix F of 40 CFR part 60.
(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 40 CFR part 60, the
quality assurance procedure 1 of
appendix F of 40 CFR part 60 and the
procedures under § 60.13 must be
followed for installation, evaluation,

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

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); 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

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

§ 62.14695 Is there a minimum amount of
monitoring data I must obtain?
For each continuous monitoring
system required or optionally allowed
under § 62.14690, 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 outof-control periods, repairs associated
with monitoring system malfunctions or
out-of-control periods (as specified in
§ 62.14730(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.

§ 62.14840
What definitions must I know?
Terms used but not defined in this
subpart are defined in the Clean Air Act,
subparts A and B of part 60 and subpart
A of this part 62.
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

coffee bean hulls and grounds, and
other vegetative waste materials
generated as a result of agricultural
operations.
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

If the operating unit burns materials
other than traditional fuels as defined in
§ 241.2 that have been discarded, and
you do not keep and produce records as
required by § 62.14700(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

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.
Contained gaseous material means
gases that are in a container when that
container is combusted.
Continuous emission monitoring
system (CEMS) means the total
equipment that may be required to meet
the data acquisition and availability
requirements of this subpart, used to

emissions or process parameters. A
particulate matter continuous parameter
monitoring system (PM CPMS) is a type
of CMS.
Cyclonic burn barrel means a
combustion device for waste materials
that is attached to a 55 gallon, openhead 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.

be reused.
Dry scrubber means an add-on air
pollution control system that injects dry
alkaline sorbent (dry injection) or sprays
an alkaline sorbent (spray dryer) to react
with and neutralize acid gas in the
exhaust stream forming a dry powder
material. Sorbent injection systems in
fluidized bed boilers and process
heaters are included in this definition.
A dry scrubber is a dry control system.
Energy recovery means the process of
recovering thermal energy from
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.

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, inline 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

percent load the load fraction is 0.5).
Low-level radioactive waste means
waste material which contains
radioactive nuclides emitting primarily
beta or gamma radiation, or both, in
concentrations or quantities that exceed
applicable federal or state standards for
unrestricted release. Low-level
radioactive waste is not high-level
radioactive waste, spent nuclear fuel, or
by-product material as defined by the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C.
2014(e)(2)).
Malfunction means any sudden,
infrequent, and not reasonably
preventable failure of air pollution
control equipment, process equipment,
or a process to operate in a normal or
usual manner. Failures that are caused,
in part, by poor maintenance or careless
operation are not malfunctions.

voltage or amperage to the electrostatic
precipitator measured during the most
recent particulate matter or mercury
performance test demonstrating
compliance with the applicable
emission limits.

pollution control devices used to
comply with the emission limits for the
affected CISWI unit (e.g., change in the
sorbent injection rate used for activated
carbon injection).
Rack reclamation unit means a unit
that burns the coatings off racks used to
hold small items for application of a
coating. The unit burns the coating

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.

40 CFR part 241) material from
commercial or industrial establishments
or the general public (including single
and multiple residences, hotels and
motels). Such term does not include
incinerators or other units required to
have a permit under section 3005 of the
Solid Waste Disposal Act. The term
‘‘solid waste incineration unit’’ does not
include:
(1) Materials recovery facilities
(including primary or secondary
smelters) which combust waste for the
primary purpose of recovering metals;
(2) Qualifying small power
production facilities, as defined in
section 3(17)(C) of the Federal Power
Act (16 U.S.C. 769(17)(C)), or qualifying
cogeneration facilities, as defined in
section 3(18)(B) of the Federal Power
Act (16 U.S.C. 796(18)(B)), which burn
homogeneous waste (such as units
which burn tires or used oil, but not
including refuse-derived fuel) for the
production of electric energy or in the
case of qualifying cogeneration facilities
which burn homogeneous waste for the
production of electric energy and steam
or forms of useful energy (such as heat)
which are used for industrial,
commercial, heating or cooling
purposes; or
(3) Air curtain incinerators provided
that such incinerators only burn wood
wastes, yard wastes and clean lumber
and that such air curtain incinerators
comply with opacity limitations to be
established by the Administrator by
rule.
Space heater means a unit that meets
the requirements of 40 CFR 279.23. A
3593
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 utilizes an
aqueous or alkaline scrubbing liquor to
collect particulate matter (including
non-vaporous 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.

Federal Plan Requirements for Commercial and Industrial Solid
Waste Incineration Units
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action proposes the federal plan for existing commercial
and industrial incineration (CISWI) units. This proposed action
implements the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) emission
guidelines (EG) adopted on February 7, 2013, as amended on June 23,
2016, in states that do not have an approved state plan implementing
the EG in place by the effective date of this federal plan. The federal
plan will result in emissions reductions of certain pollutants from all
affected units covered.
DATES: Comments. Comments must be received on or before February 27,
2017.
Public Hearing. A public hearing will be held if requested by
January 17, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Comments. Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No.
EPA-HQ-OAR-2016-0664 at https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online

Regulated Entities. Owners or operators of existing CISWI units
that are subject to the existing federal plan implementing the December
1, 2000 EG, and units not already subject to an EPA-approved and
effective state plan implementing the February 7, 2013, EG, may be
regulated by this final action. Existing CISWI units are those that
commenced construction on or before June 4, 2010 or that commenced
modification or reconstruction after June 4, 2010 but no later than
August 7, 2013. Regulated categories and entities include those that
operate CISWI units. Although there is no specific North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for CISWI units, these
units may be operated by the categories of sources listed in Table 1:

information and technology exchange in various areas of air pollution
control. Additional information is also available at the same Web site.
II. Background Information
A. What is the regulatory development background for this proposed
rule?
Section 129 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), titled, ``Solid Waste
Combustion,'' requires the EPA to develop and adopt standards for solid
waste incineration units pursuant to CAA sections 111 and 129.
On March 21, 2011, the EPA promulgated revised new source
performance standards (NSPS) and EG for CISWI units. Following this
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 CISWI incineration units. The EPA published the proposed
revisions to the NSPS and EG for CISWI 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. On
June 23, 2016, the EPA promulgated the final reconsidered NSPS and EG
for CISWI units (81 FR 40956). 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 the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) definition of solid waste, refer
to prior documents (76 FR 15704, 78 FR 9112).
Sections 111(b) and 129(a) of the CAA address emissions from new
units (i.e., NSPS), and CAA sections 111(d) and 129(b) address
emissions from existing units (i.e., EG). The NSPS are federal
regulations directly enforceable upon CISWI units, and, under CAA
section 129(f)(1), become effective 6 months after promulgation. Unlike
the NSPS, the EG provide direction for developing state plans; however,
the EG are not themselves directly enforceable. The EG are implemented
and enforced under an EPA approved state or tribal plan or EPA adopted
federal plan once the state, tribal, or federal plan has become
effective.
Section 129(b)(2) of the CAA directs states with existing CISWI
unit(s) subject to the EG to submit plans to the EPA that implement and
enforce the EG. The deadline for states to submit state plans to the
EPA for review was February 7, 2014 (see 78 FR 9121-2, February 7,
2013).\1\ Sections 111 and 129(b)(3) of the CAA and 40 CFR 60.27(c) and
(d) require the EPA to develop, implement and enforce a federal plan
for CISWI units in any state without an approvable state plan within
[[Page 3557]]
2 years after promulgation of the EG. This action proposes the CISWI
Federal Plan. In this proposal, the EPA is soliciting comment only on
the implementation of the final CISWI EG through the proposed federal
plan. The EPA is not reopening the underlying CISWI rule for public
comment and does not intend to address any comments on the underlying
CISWI rule.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Several states did not submit plans to the EPA by this date.
\2\ Many aspects of the CISWI rule were challenged in the United
States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (D.C.
Circuit or Court) in American Forest and Paper Association (AFPA) v.
EPA, and the Court rejected all challenges to the standards and
other provisions being implemented in this federal plan. See AFPA v.
EPA, 830 F.3d 579 (D.C. Cir. 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EPA anticipates that facilities in approximately eight states
and four U.S. territories will need to rely on the CISWI Federal Plan.
B. What is the purpose of this proposed rule?
Section 129(b)(2) of the CAA requires states to implement the EG
for existing solid waste incineration units, including CISWI units.
States with existing CISWI units were required to submit to the EPA
within 1 year following promulgation of the EG (by February 7, 2014)
state plans that are at least as protective as the EG. Sections 111 and
129 of the CAA and 40 CFR 60.27(c) and (d) require the EPA to develop,
implement, and enforce a federal plan in states which have not
submitted an approvable plan. The EPA is proposing the CISWI Federal
Plan so that a promulgated federal plan will be effective in any state
that fails to provide an approvable state plan, thus, ensuring
implementation and enforcement of the final CISWI EG.
The regulations require states without any existing CISWI units to
submit to the Administrator a letter of negative declaration certifying
that there are no CISWI units in the state (See 40 CFR 62.06). No plan
is required for states that do not have any CISWI units. CISWI units
located in states that mistakenly submit a letter of negative
declaration are subject to the federal plan, once effective, until a
state plan regulating those CISWI units is approved. State plans that
have been submitted to implement the final CISWI EG,\3\ have either
been approved or are currently undergoing EPA review. This proposed
CISWI Federal Plan will implement the final CISWI EG in those states
that do not have an approved state plan in place by the effective date
of this federal plan. If a state or tribal plan is approved in part,
the federal plan will apply to the affected CISWI units in lieu of the
disapproved portions of the state plan until the state or tribe
addresses the deficiencies in the state plan and the revised state plan
is approved by the EPA. Prior to any disapproval, the EPA will work
with states and tribes to attempt to reconcile areas of the plan that
remain inconsistent with the EG.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ The ``final CISWI EG'' means the provision of 40 CFR part
60, subpart DDDD, including the revisions published on June 23, 2016
(81 FR 40956). As noted in the June 23 2016 preamble, the final
CISWI EG action granted reconsideration and addressed certain
aspects of the February 7 2013, rule, which itself was issued to
grant reconsideration of aspects of the March 21 2011, rule. See
Section II.A of this preamble for more discussion on the background
of the final CISWI EG.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Incineration of solid waste at commercial and industrial facilities
causes the release of a wide array of air pollutants, some of which
exist in the waste feed material and are released unchanged during
combustion, and some of which are generated as a result of the
combustion process itself.\4\ The EPA estimated in the 2013 rule that
once the state plans and federal plan become effective, a total
emissions reduction of the regulated pollutants would occur as follows:
Acid gases (i.e., hydrogen chloride (HCl) and sulfur dioxoide
(SO2)), about 7,046 tons per year (tpy); particulate matter
(PM) about 2,401 tpy; non-Hg metals (i.e., lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd))
about 4.5 tpy; carbon monoxide (CO) about 20,000 tpy; nitrogen oxide
(NOX) about 5,399 tpy; and mercury (Hg) about 688 pounds per
year. The EPA also estimated that air pollution control devices
installed to comply with the 2013 rule would also effectively reduce
emissions of pollutants such as 7-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB).\5\ The 2016 rule did not significantly
change the emission reduction estimates presented in the 2013 rule,
other than estimating slightly less in PM reductions for the waste-
burning kiln subcategory (See 81 FR 40969, June 23, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See 78 FR 9131-9133 to reference the impacts of the EG
adopted on February 7, 2013.
\5\ See 75 FR 31970 (June 4, 2010), where polycyclic organic
matter (POM) and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) emission reductions
are discussed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
C. What is the status of state plan submittals?
Sections 111(d) and 129(b)(3) of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7411(d) and
7429(b)(3), authorize and require the EPA to develop and implement a
federal plan for CISWI units located in states with no approved and
effective state plan. Table 2 below lists the status of state plans as
of the signature date for this proposal. Additionally, Table 2 lists
states and local agencies that submitted negative declarations and/or
those which have indicated that they intend to take delegation of the
federal plan.

[[Page 3558]]
As the EPA Regional offices approve implementation plans, they will
also, in the same action, amend the appropriate subpart of 40 CFR part
62 to codify their approvals. The EPA will maintain a list of
implementation plan submittals and approvals on the Technical Air
Pollution Resources Web site at https://www.epa.gov/stationary-sources-air-pollution/commercial-and-industrial-solid-waste-incineration-units-ciswi-new. The list will help CISWI unit owners or operators determine
whether their CISWI units are affected by a state plan or the federal
plan.
CISWI owners or operators can also contact the EPA Regional office
for the state in which their CISWI units are located to determine
whether there is an approved and effective state plan in place. Table 3
lists the names, email addresses, and telephone numbers of the EPA
Regional office contacts and the states and territories that they
cover.

III. Affected Facilities
A. What is a CISWI unit?
A ``CISWI'' unit is any unit located at a commercial or industrial
facility that combusts any amount of solid waste, as defined in 40 CFR
part 241, that is not otherwise exempted from CISWI. See 40 CFR 60.2555
(listing solid waste incineration units that are not subject to CISWI).
The affected facility under CISWI is each individual CISWI unit. This
proposed federal plan defines four subcategories for existing CISWI
units in 40 CFR part 62.14840 of subpart III: Incinerators (i.e., units
designed to burn discarded waste materials for the purpose of
disposal); small, remote incinerators; energy recovery units (ERUs)
(i.e., units that would be boilers or process heaters if they did not
combust solid waste); and waste burning kilns (i.e., units that would
be cement kilns if they did not combust solid waste). We have further
subcategorized ERUs into three subcategories and waste burning kilns
into two subcategories for CO emission limits only.
B. Does the federal plan apply to me?
The federal plan will apply to the owner or operator of an existing
CISWI unit that was constructed on or before June 4, 2010, or commenced
modification or reconstruction after June 4, 2010, but no later than
August 7, 2013, and that is not subject to an approved and effective
state plan as of the effective date of the final federal plan
notice.\6\ The federal plan would apply to the CISWI unit until the EPA
approves a state plan that regulates the CISWI unit and that state plan
becomes effective.\7\ If the construction of a CISWI unit began after
June 4, 2010, or modification of a CISWI unit began after August 7,
2013, the unit is a new CISWI unit and would be subject to the NSPS at
40 CFR part 60, subpart CCCC. The specific applicability of the
proposed federal plan is described at 40 CFR 62.14510 through 62.14531
of subpart III in the proposed rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ The federal plan will become effective 30 days after final
promulgation.
\7\ A state plan is effective on the date specified in the
document published in the Federal Register announcing the EPA's
approval of the plan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This action will not preclude states from submitting a state plan
at a later time. If a state submits a plan after the promulgation of
the CISWI Federal Plan, the EPA will review and approve or disapprove
the state plan.\8\ If the EPA approves a plan, then the CISWI Federal
Plan will no longer apply to CISWI units covered by the state plan. If
a CISWI unit was overlooked by a state and the state submitted a
negative declaration letter, or if an individual CISWI unit was not
covered by an approved and effective state plan, the CISWI unit would
be subject to the federal plan after the effective date of the final
plan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ An approved state plan is a plan developed by a state that
the EPA has reviewed and approved based on the requirements in 40
CFR part 60, subpart B, to implement 40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
C. How do I determine if my CISWI unit is covered by an approved and
effective state plan?
Part 62 of Title 40 of the CFR identifies the status of approval
and promulgation of CAA section 111(d) and CAA section 129(b) state
plans for designated facilities in each state. However, the print
version of 40 CFR part 62 is updated only once per year. Thus, if 40
CFR part 62 does not indicate that a state has an approved and
effective plan, please contact the state environmental agency's air
director or the EPA's Regional office (see Table 3 in section II.C of
this preamble) to determine if a state plan was approved since
publication of the most recent version of 40 CFR part 62. Also note
that the Electronic Code of Federal
[[Page 3559]]
Regulations (https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/ECFR?page=browse) is updated
periodically, so may be a better source to obtain an update on state
plan status.
IV. Elements of the CISWI Federal Plan
Sections 111(d) and 129 of the CAA, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 7411(d)
and 7429(b)(2), require states to develop and implement state plans for
CISWI units to implement and enforce the final EG. Accordingly, subpart
DDDD of 40 CFR part 60 requires states to submit state plans that
include specified elements. Because this proposed federal plan will
establish standards in the absence of an approved and effective state
plan, this proposed plan includes the same essential elements as a
state plan: (1) Identification of legal authority and mechanisms for
implementation; (2) inventory of CISWI units; (3) emissions inventory;
(4) compliance schedules; (5) emissions limits and operating limits;
(6) operator training and qualification; (7) testing, monitoring,
recordkeeping, and reporting; (8) public hearing; and (9) progress
reporting. See Proposed regulations at 40 CFR part 62, subpart III and
sections 111 and 129 of the CAA. Below, we explain the proposed federal
plan elements in detail.
A. Legal Authority and Enforcement Mechanism
Sections 111(d) and 129(b)(3) of the CAA direct the EPA to develop
a federal plan for states that do not submit approvable state plans.
Sections 111 and 129 of the CAA provide the EPA with the authority to
implement and enforce the federal plan in cases where the state fails
to submit a satisfactory state plan. Pursuant to section 129(f)(2),
compliance with the EG cannot be later than 5 years after the relevant
EG are promulgated (i.e., by February 7, 2018).\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See 78 FR 9125-6 (February 7, 2013) for further discussion
on compliance dates.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
B. Inventory of Affected CISWI Units
The docket for the proposed federal plan includes an inventory of
the CISWI units that may potentially be covered by this federal plan in
the absence of approved state plans. (See Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-
2016-0664 and 40 CFR 62.14521.) This inventory contains 106 CISWI units
in 28 states. It is based on information collected from EPA Regions,
states, CISWI facilities, and review of existing CISWI inventories,
title V permits, emissions test reports, and facility Web sites. The
EPA recognizes that this list may not be complete. Therefore, sources
potentially subject to this proposed federal plan may include, but are
not limited to, the CISWI units listed in Docket No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2016-
0664. Any unit that meets the applicability criteria in the proposed
federal plan rule will be subject to the federal plan, regardless of
whether it is listed in the inventory. The EPA requests that states or
individuals identify additional sources for inclusion on the list
during the comment period for this proposal.
C. Inventory of Emissions
This proposed federal plan includes emissions estimates for
existing CISWI units. The pollutants inventoried are Cd, CO,
polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/
PCDF), HCl, Pb, Hg, PM, NOX, and SO2. For this
proposal, the EPA has estimated the emissions from each known CISWI
unit that potentially may be covered by the proposed federal plan for
the nine pollutants regulated by the EG and covered by the proposed
federal plan. The emissions inventory is based on available information
about CISWI units and typical emissions rates developed for calculating
nationwide air impacts of the EG. Refer to the inventory memorandum
``CISWI Federal Plan Inventory,'' December 9, 2016 in Docket No. EPA-
HQ-OAR-2016-0664 for the complete updated emissions inventory.
D. Compliance Schedules
The CAA provides that owners or operators of affected CISWI units
must comply no later than 5 years after the effective date of the final
CISWI EG (i.e., February 7, 2018) or within 3 years from state plan
approval (or promulgation of a federal plan), whichever is earlier. See
CAA section 129(f)(2). The EPA aims to take final action on this
proposal in 2017 and, thus, proposes to allow the maximum time
statutorily permitted for compliance with the federal plan, that is
until February 7, 2018.
E. Emissions Limits and Operating Limits
The proposed federal plan contains emissions limits that correspond
to the final CISWI EG. (See 40 CFR 62.14630 through 62.14645.) The
emissions limits in this proposed CISWI Federal Plan are the same as
those contained in the final CISWI EG. (See proposed Table 5 of this
preamble.) This action does not revise the final limits; instead, it
simply implements the previously promulgated limits for existing
sources in states that have not adopted a state plan. Section V.C of
this preamble discusses the final CISWI EG emissions limits.
F. Operator Training and Qualification Requirements
The proposed federal plan requires that the owner or operator must
qualify operators or their supervisors (at least one per facility) by
ensuring that they complete an operator training course and annual
review or refresher course. (See 40 CFR 62.14595 through 62.14625.)
This proposed federal plan also contains operator training and
qualification requirements that correspond to the final CISWI EG.
G. Testing, Monitoring, Recordkeeping, and Reporting Requirements
The proposed federal plan includes testing, monitoring,
recordkeeping, and reporting requirements. (See 40 CFR 62.14650 through
62.14760.) These proposed requirements correspond with the final CISWI
EG. Testing, monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements will
assure initial and ongoing compliance.
H. Record of Public Hearings
This proposed federal plan provides an opportunity for public
participation in adopting the plan. If requested to do so, the EPA will
hold a public hearing at the EPA's office buildings in Washington, DC.
A record of the public hearing, if any, will appear in Docket ID No.
EPA-HQ-OAR-2016-0664. If a public hearing is requested and held, the
EPA may ask clarifying questions during the oral presentation, but will
not respond to the presentations or comments at that time. Written
statements and supporting information submitted during the public
comment period will be considered with equivalent weight as any oral
statement and supporting information subsequently presented at a public
hearing, if held.
I. Progress Reports
The proposed federal plan requests that the EPA Regional Offices
prepare annual progress reports to show the progress of CISWI units
toward implementation of the EG. States that have been delegated the
authority to implement and enforce this federal plan will be required
to submit annual progress reports to the appropriate EPA Regional
Office as part of their delegation (See section VII.D). Each progress
report must include the following items: (1) Status of enforcement
actions; (2) identification of sources that have shut down or started
operation; (3) emissions inventory data for sources that were not in
operation at the time of plan development, but that began operation
during the reporting period; (4)
[[Page 3560]]
additional data as necessary to update previously submitted source and
emissions information; and (5) copies of technical reports on any
performance testing and monitoring. The EPA plans to request that the
EPA Regional offices prepare progress reports to show the progress of
CISWI units towards the implementation of EG.
V. Summary of Proposed CISWI Federal Plan Requirements
The proposed CISWI Federal Plan requirements are described below.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. What are the proposed applicability requirements?
The proposed federal plan applicability reflects the final CISWI
EG. The proposed federal plan applies to existing CISWI units meeting
the applicability of 40 CFR 62.14510 that are located in any state that
does not currently have an approved state plan in place. Existing CISWI
units are all CISWI units for which construction commenced on or before
June 4, 2010. All CISWI units for which construction commenced after
June 4, 2010, or for which modification or reconstruction commenced
after August 7, 2013, are ``new'' sources subject to NSPS emissions
limits (40 CFR part 60, subpart CCCC). The federal plan requirements
apply to owners and/or operators of incineration units combusting solid
waste (as defined under RCRA) and located at commercial or industrial
facilities (i.e., CISWI units (as defined in the proposed rule at 40
CFR 62.14840)). Four subcategories are defined for existing units:
incinerators (i.e., units designed to burn discarded waste materials
for the purpose of disposal); small, remote incinerators; ERUs (i.e.,
units that would be boilers or process heaters if they did not combust
solid waste); and waste burning kilns (i.e., units that would be cement
kilns if they did not combust solid waste). The final CISWI EG further
subcategorized ERUs into three subcategories and waste burning kilns
into two subcategories for CO emission limits only.
B. What are the proposed compliance schedules?
The proposed federal plan requires owners or operators of CISWI
units to come into compliance by February 7, 2018. The final CISWI EG
included increments of progress in the compliance schedule. However, we
are not including increments of progress as a compliance pathway for
the proposed federal plan. Increments of progress were included in the
EG to establish obligations that would apply to sources planning to
take more than one year from approval of the state plan to comply. The
increments would help ensure that sources planning to take more than
one year to comply would make some incremental progress toward
compliance after the first year. The increments did not require any
additional action within one year of approval of a state plan (or
promulgation of a federal plan). The EPA aims to take final action on
this proposal in 2017. As explained above (see section IV.D of this
preamble), the statute requires all sources to fully comply by February
2018 (i.e., 5 years after promulgation of the relevant EG). As
explained above, the increments of progress contained in the final EG
do not require any additional action within one year of promulgation of
a federal plan. Thus, including the increments of progress in this
federal plan would serve no meaningful purpose and may create
confusion. For this reason, the EPA is not proposing to include
increments of progress in this federal plan.
If a CISWI unit does not achieve final compliance by February 7,
2018, the proposed federal plan requires the CISWI unit to shut down by
February 7, 2018, complete the retrofit while not operating, and be in
compliance upon restarting. A CISWI unit that operates out of
compliance after the final compliance date would be in violation of the
federal plan and subject to enforcement action.
C. What emissions and operating limits is the EPA proposing to
incorporate into the federal plan?
The EPA proposes to incorporate the EG emissions and operating
limits from the final CISWI EG into this proposed CISWI Federal Plan.
Table 5 of this preamble summarizes the EG emissions limits
promulgated, as well as provides the existing CISWI Federal Plan
emission limits (currently applicable only to existing incinerators)
for comparison. Existing sources may comply with either the PCDD/PCDF
toxicity equivalence or total mass balance emission limits. These
standards apply at all times. Facilities will be required to establish
site-specific operating limits derived from the results of performance
testing. The site-specific operating limits are established as the
minimum (or maximum, as appropriate) operating parameter value measured
during the performance test. These operating limits will result in
achievable operating ranges that will ensure that the control devices
used for compliance will be operated to achieve continuous compliance
with the emissions limits. Further discussion on performance testing
can be found in section V.D of this preamble.

\1\ All emission limits are expressed as concentrations corrected to 7 percent O2.
D. What are the proposed performance testing and monitoring
requirements?
The EPA is proposing several performance testing and monitoring
provisions amendments to the current 2003 CISWI Federal Plan that are
consistent with the requirements of the final CISWI EG. The following
paragraphs list a number of testing and monitoring requirements in the
final CISWI EG that are being proposed in the CISWI Federal Plan.
1. Performance Testing and Monitoring
The proposed federal plan requires all CISWI units to demonstrate
initial and continuous compliance with the final CISWI EG emission
limits. These provisions require initial and annual performance tests
and initial and annual inspections of scrubbers, fabric filters (FF),
and other air pollution control devices that are used to meet the
emission limits. In addition, a Method 22 (40 CFR part 60, appendix A-
7) visible emissions test of the ash handling operations is required
during the initial and annual compliance test for all subcategories
except waste-burning kilns, which do not have ash handling systems.
Furthermore, for any CISWI unit that operates a FF air pollution
control device, we are requiring that a bag leak detection system be
installed to monitor the device. The proposed federal plan continues to
require parametric monitoring of all other add-on air pollution control
devices, such as wet scrubbers, dry scrubbers and activated carbon
injection (ACI). CISWI units that install selective non-catalytic
reduction technology to reduce NOX emissions are required to
monitor the reagent (e.g., ammonia or urea) injection rate and
secondary chamber temperature (if applicable to the CISWI unit). This
proposed federal plan also requires subcategory-specific monitoring
requirements in addition to the aforementioned inspection, bag leak
detection, and parametric monitoring requirements that are applicable
to all CISWI units. Existing incinerators, small, remote incinerators,
and ERUs would have annual emissions testing for all nine pollutants:
PM, SO2, HCl, NOX, CO, Pb, Cd, Hg, and dioxins
and furans. Waste-burning kilns are required to monitor Hg and HCl (if
no scrubber) emissions using a continuous emissions monitoring system,
monitor PM emissions using a PM continuous parameter monitoring system
(PM CPMS), and perform annual testing for the remaining pollutants. The
proposed federal plan provides reduced annual testing requirements for
all nine pollutants when testing results are shown to be well below the
limits. If an ERU has a design capacity greater than 250 Million
British Thermal units per hour, we are requiring a PM CPMS for PM
monitoring for these units. For the PM CPMS, the EPA is further
requiring that a site-specific parametric operating limit be
established during the performance test, that there be continuous
monitoring of that parametric limit using a PM CPMS, that four
deviations within a 12-month operating period constitutes a violation
and triggers immediate corrective action and a Method 5 performance
test within 30 days with an additional 15 days to reestablish a site-
specific operating limit. Consistent with the final CISWI EG, we
propose that all operating parameter averaging for ERU units be on a
30-day rolling average and allow the sorbent injection parameter to be
adjusted based on the ERU's load. These testing and monitoring
provisions reflect those in the final CISWI EG.
The proposed federal plan incorporates by reference three
alternatives to the EPA reference test methods as shown in Table 6
below.

CFR part 51.''
2. Electronic Data Submittal
The EPA is proposing that owners and operators of CISWI units are
required to submit electronic copies of certain required performance
test reports through the EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX) using the
Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Interface (CEDRI). This mirrors
the final CISWI EG for CISWI units. The EPA believes that the
electronic submittal of the reports addressed in this proposed
rulemaking will increase the usefulness of the data contained in those
reports, is in keeping with current trends in data availability, will
further assist in the protection of public health and the environment
and will ultimately result in less burden on the regulated community.
It also will improve compliance by facilitating the ability of
regulated facilities to demonstrate compliance and the ability of air
agencies and the EPA to assess and determine compliance. Under current
requirements, paper reports are often stored in filing cabinets or
boxes, which make the reports more difficult to obtain and use for data
analysis and sharing. Electronic storage of such reports would make
data more accessible for review, analyses, and sharing. Electronic
reporting can also eliminate paper-based, manual processes, thereby
saving time and resources, simplifying data entry, eliminating
redundancies, minimizing data reporting errors and providing data
quickly and accurately to the affected facilities, air agencies, the
EPA and the public.
In 2011, in response to Executive Order 13563, the EPA developed a
plan \10\ to periodically review its regulations to determine if they
should be modified, streamlined, expanded or repealed in an effort to
make regulations more effective and less burdensome. The plan includes
replacing outdated paper reporting with electronic reporting. In
keeping with this plan and the White House's Digital Government
Strategy,\11\ in 2013 the EPA issued an agency-wide policy specifying
that new regulations will require reports to be electronic to the
maximum extent possible. By requiring electronic submission of
specified reports in this proposed rule, the EPA is taking steps to
implement this policy.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EPA Web site that stores the submitted electronic data,
WebFIRE, will be easily accessible to everyone and will provide a user-
friendly interface that any stakeholder could access. By making data
readily available, electronic reporting increases the amount of data
that can be used for many purposes. One example is the development of
emissions factors. An emissions factor is a representative value that
attempts to relate the quantity of a pollutant released to the
atmosphere with an activity associated with the release of that
pollutant (e.g., kilograms of particulate emitted per megagram of coal
burned). Such factors facilitate the estimation of emissions from
various sources of air pollution and are an important tool in
developing emissions inventories, which in turn are the basis for
numerous efforts, including trends analysis, regional and local scale
air quality modeling, regulatory impact assessments, and human exposure
modeling. Emissions factors are also widely used in regulatory
applicability determinations and in permitting decisions.
The EPA has received feedback from stakeholders asserting that many
of the EPA's emissions factors are outdated or not representative of a
particular industry emission source. While the EPA believes that the
emissions factors are suitable for their intended purpose, we recognize
that the quality of emissions factors varies based on the extent and
quality of underlying data. We also recognize that emissions profiles
on different pieces of equipment can change over time due to a number
of factors (fuel changes, equipment improvements, industry work
practices), and it is important for emissions factors to be updated to
keep up with these changes. The EPA is currently pursuing emissions
factor development improvements that include procedures to incorporate
the source test data that we are proposing be submitted electronically.
By requiring the electronic submission of the reports identified in
this proposed action, the EPA would be able to access and use the
submitted data to update emissions factors more quickly and
efficiently, creating factors that are characteristic of what is
currently representative of the relevant industry sector. Likewise, an
increase in the number of test reports used to develop the emissions
factors will provide more confidence that the factor is of higher
quality and representative of the whole industry sector.
Additionally, by making the records, data, and reports addressed in
this proposed rulemaking readily available, the EPA, the regulated
community, and the public will benefit when the EPA conducts its CAA-
required technology and risk-based reviews. As a result of having
performance test reports and air emission reports readily accessible,
our ability to carry out comprehensive reviews will be increased and
achieved within a shorter period of time. These data will provide
useful information on control efficiencies being achieved and
maintained in practice within a source
[[Page 3563]]
category and across source categories for regulated sources and
pollutants. These reports can also be used to inform the technology-
review process by providing information on improvements to add-on
control technology and new control technology.
Under an electronic reporting system, the EPA's Office of Air
Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) would have air emissions and
performance test data in hand; OAQPS would not have to collect these
data from the EPA Regional offices or from delegated air agencies or
industry sources in cases where these reports are not submitted to the
EPA Regional offices. Thus, we anticipate fewer or less substantial
information collection requests (ICRs) in conjunction with prospective
CAA-required technology and risk-based reviews may be needed. We expect
this to result in a decrease in time spent by industry to respond to
data collection requests. We also expect the ICRs to contain less
extensive stack testing provisions, as we will already have stack test
data electronically. Reduced testing requirements would be a cost
savings to industry. The EPA should also be able to conduct these
required reviews more quickly, as OAQPS will not have to include the
ICR collection time in the process or spend time collecting reports
from the EPA Regional Offices. While the regulated community may
benefit from a reduced burden of ICRs, the general public benefits from
the agency's ability to provide these required reviews more quickly,
resulting in increased public health and environmental protection.
Electronic reporting could minimize submission of unnecessary or
duplicative reports in cases where facilities report to multiple
government agencies and the agencies opt to rely on the EPA's
electronic reporting system to view report submissions. Where air
agencies continue to require a paper copy of these reports and will
accept a hard copy of the electronic report, facilities will have the
option to print paper copies of the electronic reporting forms to
submit to the air agencies, and, thus, minimize the time spent
reporting to multiple agencies. Additionally, maintenance and storage
costs associated with retaining paper records could likewise be
minimized by replacing those records with electronic records of
electronically submitted data and reports.
Air agencies could benefit from more streamlined and automated
review of the electronically submitted data. For example, because the
performance test data would be readily-available in a standard
electronic format, air agencies would be able to review reports and
data electronically rather than having to conduct a review of the
reports and data manually. Having reports and associated data in
electronic format will facilitate review through the use of software
``search'' options, as well as the downloading and analyzing of data in
spreadsheet format. Additionally, air agencies would benefit from the
reported data being accessible to them through the EPA's electronic
reporting system wherever and whenever they want or need access (as
long as they have access to the Internet). The ability to access and
review air emission report information electronically will assist air
agencies to more quickly and accurately determine compliance with the
applicable regulations, potentially allowing a faster response to
violations which could minimize harmful air emissions. This benefits
both air agencies and the general public.
The proposed electronic reporting of data is consistent with
electronic data trends (e.g., electronic banking and income tax
filing). Electronic reporting of environmental data is already common
practice in many media offices at the EPA. The changes being proposed
in this rulemaking are needed to continue the EPA's transition to
electronic reporting.
E. What are the proposed recordkeeping and reporting requirements?
The EPA is proposing requirements that reflect those finalized in
the final CISWI EG. The federal plan requires that records of all
initial and all subsequent stack or performance specification (PS)
tests, deviation reports, operating parameter data, continuous
monitoring data, maintenance and inspections of air pollution control
devices, monitoring plan, and operator training and qualification must
be maintained for 5 years. The results of the stack tests and PS test
and values for operating parameters are required to be included in
initial and subsequent compliance reports. Any incident of deviation,
resumed operation following shutdown, force majeure, intent to stop or
start use of Continuous Regulatory Systems (CMS), and intent of
conducting or rescheduling a performance test are required to be
reported to the Administrator. Furthermore, final compliance reports
are required following the completion of each requirement and
identifying any missed requirement. See section V.B of this preamble
for a more detailed discussion of the compliance schedules.
F. What are the other proposed requirements?
As discussed in several portions of this preamble, we are proposing
requirements for the federal plan to make it consistent with the final
CISWI EG. While many of these requirements were significantly different
from those currently in the CISWI Federal Plan, there are some that
differ very little, if at all. Some requirements that differ little
from those in the current CISWI Federal Plan include the requirements
for owners or operators of existing CISWI units to meet operator
training and qualification requirements, which include: Ensuring that
at least one operator or supervisor per facility complete the operator
training course, that qualified operator(s) or supervisor(s) complete
an annual review or refresher course specified in the regulation, and
that they maintain plant-specific information, updated annually,
regarding training.
Another such requirement is that owners or operators of existing
CISWI units are required to submit a monitoring plan for any CMS or bag
leak detection system used to comply with the rule.
VI. CISWI Units That Have or Will Shut Down
A. Units That Plan to Close
The proposed federal plan establishes that if owners or operators
plan to permanently close currently operating CISWI units, they must do
so and submit a closure notification to the Administrator by August 7,
2017. The proposed requirements for closing a CISWI unit will be set
forth at 40 CFR 62.14570, subpart III. Conversely, the CISWI
requirements do apply to a ``mothballed unit'' or inactive unit, where
a unit does not operate, but it is not rendered inoperable. Until such
time as a unit is permanently closed, it must comply with any
applicable requirements of the federal plan. In addition, while still
in operation, the CISWI unit is subject to the same requirements for
title V operating permits that apply to units that will continue to
operate.
B. Inoperable Units
The federal plan provides that in cases where a CISWI unit has
already shut down permanently and has been rendered inoperable (e.g.,
waste charge door is welded shut, stack is removed, combustion air
blowers removed, burners or fuel supply equipment are removed), the
CISWI unit may be left off the source inventory in a state plan or this
proposed federal plan. A CISWI
[[Page 3564]]
unit that has been rendered inoperable would not be covered by the
federal plan.
C. CISWI Units That Have Shut Down
The unit inventory for this federal plan includes any CISWI unit
known to have already shut down (but not known to be inoperable).
1. Restarting Before the Final Compliance Date
If the owner or operator of an inactive CISWI unit plans to restart
before the final compliance date, the owner or operator must achieve
final compliance by February 7, 2018.
2. Restarting After the Final Compliance Date
Under the proposed federal plan, if the owner or operator of a
CISWI unit closes the CISWI unit, but restarts the unit after the final
compliance date of February 7, 2018, the owner or operator must
complete emission control retrofits and meet the emissions and
operating limits on the date the CISWI unit restarts operation. Within
6 months of the unit startup, operator(s) of these CISWI units would
have to complete the operator training and qualification requirements.
Within 60 days of installing an air pollution control device,
operator(s) must conduct a unit inspection. Performance testing to
demonstrate initial compliance would also be required as described at
40 CFR 62.14650. A CISWI unit may not use the provisions to close the
CISWI unit and restart after the compliance date to gain an effective
``extension'' of the operator training and qualification requirements
or initial compliance requirements. A CISWI unit that operates out of
compliance after the final compliance date would be in violation of the
federal plan and subject to enforcement action.
VII. Implementation of the Federal Plan and Delegation
A. Background of Authority
Under sections 111(d) and 129(b) of the CAA, the EPA is required to
adopt EG that are applicable to existing solid waste incineration
units. These EG are implemented when the EPA approves a state plan or
adopts a federal plan that implements and enforces the EG. As discussed
above, the federal plan regulates CISWI units in states that do not
have approved plans in effect to implement the EG.
Congress has determined that the primary responsibility for air
pollution prevention and control rests with state and local agencies.
(See section 101(a)(3) of the CAA.) Consistent with that overall
determination, Congress established sections 111 and 129 of the CAA
with the intent that the state and local agencies take the primary
responsibility for ensuring that the emissions limitations and other
requirements in the EG are achieved. Also, in section 111(d) of the
CAA, Congress explicitly required that the EPA establish procedures
that are similar to those under CAA section 110(c) for state
implementation plans. Although Congress required the EPA to propose and
promulgate a federal plan for states that fail to submit approvable
state plans on time, states may submit plans after promulgation of the
CISWI Federal Plan. The EPA strongly encourages states that are unable
to submit approvable plans to request delegation of the federal plan so
that they can have primary responsibility for implementing the final
CISWI EG, consistent with the intent of Congress.
The preferred outcome under the statute and the regulations results
when the state, tribal, and local agencies implement the EPA approved
state (or tribal) plan because state, tribal, and local agencies not
only have the responsibility to implement the final CISWI EG, but also
have the practical knowledge and enforcement resources critical to
achieving the highest rate of compliance. In cases where states are
unable to develop and submit approvable state plans, it is still
preferable for the state and local agencies to be the implementing
agency. For these reasons, the EPA will do all that it can to expedite
delegation of the federal plan to state, tribal, and local agencies,
whenever possible, in cases where states are unable to develop and
submit approvable state plans. The EPA will also continue to review and
approve state plans after promulgation of the CISWI Federal Plan.
B. Mechanisms for Transferring Authority
There are two mechanisms for transferring implementation authority
to state, tribal, and local agencies: (1) The EPA approval of a state
plan after the federal plan is in effect; and (2) if a state does not
submit or obtain approval of its own plan, the EPA delegation to a
state, tribe, or local agency with the authority to implement certain
portions of this federal plan to the extent appropriate and if allowed
by state law. Both of these options are described in more detail below.
1. Federal Plan Becomes Effective Prior To Approval of a State Plan
After CISWI units in a state become subject to the federal plan,
the state or tribal agency may still adopt and submit a state or tribal
plan to the EPA. If the EPA determines that the state or tribal plan is
as protective as the final CISWI EG, the EPA will approve the state or
tribal plan. If the EPA determines that the plan is not as protective
as the final CISWI EG, the EPA may approve the portions of the plan
that are consistent with the final CISWI EG. If a state or tribal plan
is approved in part, the federal plan will apply to the affected CISWI
units in lieu of the disapproved portions of the state plan until the
state or tribe addresses the deficiencies in the state plan and the
revised state plan is approved by the EPA. Prior to any disapproval,
the EPA will work with states and tribes to attempt to reconcile areas
of the plan that remain inconsistent with the EG.
Upon the effective date of a state or tribal plan, the federal plan
would no longer apply to CISWI units covered by such a plan and the
state, tribe, territory, or local agency would implement and enforce
the state plan in lieu of the federal plan. When an EPA regional office
approves a state or tribal plan, it will amend the appropriate subpart
of 40 CFR part 62 to indicate such approval.
2. State, Tribe, Territory, or Local Agency Taking Delegation of the
Federal Plan
The EPA, in its discretion, may delegate to state, tribe,
territorial, or local agencies the authority to implement this federal
plan. As discussed above, the EPA has concluded that it is advantageous
and the best use of resources for states, tribes, territories, or local
agencies to agree to undertake, on the EPA's behalf, administrative and
substantive roles in implementing the federal plan to the extent
appropriate and where authorized by federal, state, tribal,
territorial, or local law. If a state, tribe, territory, or local
agency requests delegation, the EPA will generally delegate the entire
federal plan to the state, tribe, territory, or local agency. These
functions include administration and oversight of compliance, and
reporting and recordkeeping requirements, CISWI unit inspections and
preparation of draft notices of violation, but will not include any
authorities retained by the EPA. Agencies that have taken delegation,
as well as the EPA, will have responsibility for bringing enforcement
actions against sources violating federal plan provisions.
C. Implementing Authority
The EPA Regional Administrators have been delegated the authority
for implementing the CISWI Federal Plan.
[[Page 3565]]
All reports required by the federal plan should be submitted to the
appropriate Regional Administrator. Section II.C of this preamble
includes Table 3 that lists names and addresses of the EPA regional
office contacts and the states they cover.
D. Delegation of the Federal Plan and Retained Authorities
If a state, tribe, territory, or local agency intends to take
delegation of the federal plan, the state, tribe, territory, or local
agency should submit to the appropriate EPA regional office a written
request for delegation of authority. The state, tribe, territory, or
local agency should explain how it meets the criteria for delegation.
See generally ``Good Practices Manual for Delegation of NSPS and
NESHAP'' (EPA, February 1983). The letter requesting delegation of
authority to implement the federal plan should: (1) Demonstrate that
the state, tribe, territory, or local agency has adequate resources, as
well as the legal authority to administer and enforce the program, (2)
include an inventory of affected CISWI units, which includes those that
have ceased operation, but have not been dismantled or rendered
inoperable, and an inventory of the affected units' air emissions and a
provision for state progress reports to the EPA, (3) certify that a
public hearing is held on the state, tribe, territory, or local agency
delegation request, and (4) include a memorandum of agreement between
the state, tribe, territory, or local agency and the EPA that sets
forth the terms and conditions of the delegation, the effective date of
the agreement and the mechanism to transfer authority. Upon signature
of the agreement, the appropriate EPA Regional office would publish an
approval notice in the Federal Register, thereby incorporating the
delegation of authority into the appropriate subpart of 40 CFR part 62.
If authority is not delegated to a state, tribe, territory, or
local agency, the EPA will implement the federal plan. Also, if a
state, tribe, territory, or local agency fails to properly implement a
delegated portion of the federal plan, the EPA will assume direct
implementation and enforcement of that portion. The EPA will continue
to hold enforcement authority along with the state, tribe, territory,
or local agency even when the agency has received delegation of the
federal plan. In all cases where the federal plan is delegated, the EPA
will retain and will not transfer authority to a state, tribe, or local
agency to approve the following items promulgated in the final CISWI
EG:
1. Approval of alternatives to the emission limitations in table
5 of this document and operating limits established under 40 CFR
62.14635 and 62.14640;
2. Approval of major alternatives to test methods;
3. Approval of major alternatives to monitoring;
4. Approval of major alternatives to recordkeeping and
reporting;
5. [Reserved];
6. The requirements in Sec. 62.14640;
7. The requirements in Sec. 62.14625(b)(2);
8. Approval of alternative opacity emission limits in Sec.
62.14630 under Sec. 60.11(e)(6) through (8);
9. Performance test and data reduction waivers under Sec.
60.8(b)(4) and (5);
10. Determination of whether a qualifying small power production
facility or cogeneration facility under Sec. 62.14525(e) or (f) is
combusting homogenous waste; and
11. Approval of an alternative to any electronic reporting to
the EPA required by this subpart.
CISWI unit owners or operators who wish to petition the agency for
any alternative requirement should submit a request to the Regional
Administrator with a copy sent to the appropriate state.
VIII. Title V Operating Permits
All existing CISWI units regulated under state, tribal, or federal
plans implementing the final CISWI EG must operate in a manner
consistent with a title V operating permit that assures compliance with
all federally applicable requirements for any regulated CISWI units,
including all applicable CAA section 129 requirements.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ 40 CFR 70.2, 70.6(a)(1), 71.2, and 71.6(a)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The permit application deadline for a CAA section 129 source
applying for a title V operating permit depends on when the source
first becomes subject to the relevant title V permit program. Because
existing major sources are subject to title V,\13\ major source
facilities that contain existing CISWI units should already have a
title V permit. In such cases, the source must comply with the title V
permit revision provisions of the relevant state title V program
instead of applying for a title V permit. In contrast, the application
deadline would be important to CISWI units at facilities that are not
subject to the title V permit program for other reasons. Such sources
with an existing CISWI unit subject to this proposed federal plan must
submit a complete title V permit application by the earliest of the
following dates:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ CAA Section 503(c) and 40 CFR 70.3(a) and (b),
70.5(a)(1)(i), 71.3(a) and (b), and 71.5(a)(1)(i).
Twelve (12) months after the effective date of any
applicable EPA-approved CAA sections 111(d)/129 plan (i.e., approved
state or tribal plan that implements the final CISWI EG); or
Twelve (12) months after the effective date of any
applicable federal plan; or
Thirty-six (36) months after promulgation of 40 CFR part
60, subpart DDDD (i.e., February 7, 2016).
For any existing CISWI unit not subject to an earlier permit
application deadline, the application deadline of February 7, 2016,
which is in the past, applies regardless of whether or when any
applicable federal plan is effective, or whether or when any applicable
CAA sections 111(d)/129 plan is approved by the EPA and becomes
effective. (See CAA sections 129(e), 503(c), 503(d), 502(a), and 40 CFR
70.5(a)(1)(i) and 71.5(a)(1)(i).)
For more background information on the interface between CAA
section 129 and title V, including the EPA's interpretation of CAA
section 129(e), see the final federal plan for Commercial and
Industrial Solid Waste Incinerators, October 3, 2003, (68 FR 57518,
57532). See also the final federal plan for Hospital Medical Infectious
Waste Incinerators, August 15, 2000, (65 FR 49868, 49877).
A. Title V and Delegation of a Federal Plan
As noted previously, issuance of a title V permit is not equivalent
to the approval of a state or tribal plan or delegation of a federal
plan.\14\ Legally, delegation of a standard or requirement results in a
delegated state, local, or tribal agency standing in for the EPA as a
matter of federal law. This means that obligations a source may have to
the EPA under a federally promulgated standard become obligations to a
state, tribal, or local agency (except for functions that the EPA
retains for itself) upon delegation.\15\ Although a state, local, or
tribal agency may have the authority under state, local, or tribal law
to incorporate CAA section 111/129 requirements into its title V
permits, and implement and enforce these requirements in these permits
without first taking delegation of the CAA section 111/129 federal
plan, the state, local, or tribal agency is not standing in for the EPA
as a matter of federal law in this situation. Where a state, local, or
[[Page 3566]]
tribal agency does not take delegation of a section 111/129 federal
plan, obligations that a source has to the EPA under the federal plan
continue after a title V permit is issued to the source. As a result,
the EPA maintains that an approved 40 CFR part 70 operating permits
program cannot be used as a mechanism to transfer the authority to
implement and enforce the federal plan from the EPA to a state, local,
or tribal agency.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See, e.g., the ``Title V and Delegation of a Federal Plan''
section of the proposed federal plan for Commercial Industrial Solid
Waste Incinerators (CISWI), November 25, 2002, (67 FR 70640, 70652).
The preamble language from this section in the proposed federal plan
for CISWI was reaffirmed in the final federal plan for CISWI,
October 3, 2003, (68 FR 57518, 57535).
\15\ If the Administrator chooses to retain certain authorities
under a standard, those authorities cannot be delegated, e.g.,
alternative methods of demonstrating compliance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As mentioned above, a state, local, or tribal agency may have the
authority under state, local, or tribal law to incorporate CAA section
111/129 requirements into its title V permits, and implement and
enforce these requirements in that context without first taking
delegation of the CAA section 111/129 federal plan.\16\ Some states,
local governments, or tribes, however, may not be able to implement and
enforce a CAA section 111/129 standard in a title V permit under state,
local, or tribal law until the CAA section 111/129 standard has been
delegated. In these situations, a state, local, or tribal agency should
not issue a 40 CFR part 70 permit to a source subject to a federal plan
before taking delegation of the section 111/129 federal plan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ The EPA interprets the phrase ``assure compliance'' in CAA
section 502(b)(5)(A) to mean that permitting authorities will
implement and enforce each applicable standard, regulation, or
requirement which must be included in the title V permits the
permitting authorities issue. See definition of ``applicable
requirement'' in 40 CFR 70.2. See also 40 CFR 70.4(b)(3)(i) and
70.6(a)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, if a state or tribe can provide an Attorney General's (AG)
opinion delineating its authority to incorporate CAA section 111/129
requirements into its title V permits, and then implement and enforce
these requirements through its title V permits without first taking
delegation of the requirements, then a state, local, or tribal agency
does not need to take delegation of the CAA section 111/129
requirements for purposes of title V permitting.\17\ In practical
terms, without approval of a state or tribal plan, delegation of a
federal plan, or an adequate AG's opinion, states, local governments,
and tribes with approved 40 CFR part 70 permitting programs open
themselves up to potential questions regarding their authority to issue
permits containing CAA section 111/129 requirements and to assure
compliance with these requirements. Such questions could lead to the
issuance of a notice of deficiency for a state's or tribe's 40 CFR part
70 program. As a result, prior to a state, local, or tribal permitting
authority drafting a part 70 permit for a source subject to a CAA
section 111/129 federal plan, the state, local government, or tribe,
the EPA regional office and the source in question are advised to
ensure that delegation of the relevant federal plan has taken place or
that the permitting authority has provided an adequate AG's opinion to
the EPA Regional office.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ It is important to note that an AG's opinion submitted at
the time of initial title V program approval is sufficient if it
demonstrates that a state or tribe has adequate authority to
incorporate CAA section 111/129 requirements into its title V
permits and to implement and enforce these requirements through its
title V permits without delegation and no subsequent state law or
regulation has in some way limited that authority.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition, if a permitting authority chooses to rely on an AG's
opinion and not take delegation of a federal plan, a CAA section 111/
129 source subject to the federal plan in that state must
simultaneously submit to both the EPA and the state, local government,
or tribe all reports required by the standard to be submitted to the
EPA. Given that these reports are necessary to implement and enforce
the CAA section 111/129 requirements when they have been included in
title V permits, the permitting authority needs to receive these
reports at the same time as the EPA.
In the situation where a permitting authority chooses to rely on an
AG's opinion and not take delegation of a federal plan, the EPA
regional offices will be responsible for implementing and enforcing CAA
section 111/129 requirements outside of any title V permits. Moreover,
in this situation, the EPA regional offices will continue to be
responsible for developing progress reports and conducting any other
administrative functions required under this federal plan or any other
CAA section 111/129 federal plan. See, section V.B of this preamble
titled ``What are the final compliance schedules?''.
It is important to note that the EPA is not using its authority
under 40 CFR part 70.4(i)(3) to request that all states, local
governments, and tribes that do not take delegation of this federal
plan submit supplemental AG's opinions at this time. However, the EPA
regional offices shall request, and permitting authorities shall
provide, such opinions when the EPA questions a state's or tribe's
authority to incorporate CAA section 111/129 requirements into a title
V permit and implement and enforce these requirements in that context
without delegation.
IX. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders
can be found at https://www.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 for
review.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
This action does not impose an information collection burden under
the PRA. This action simply proposes the CISWI Federal Plan to
implement the EG adopted on February 7, 2013,\18\ for those states that
do not have a state plan implementing the EG.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ See 78 FR 9112, February 7, 2013.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. EG for owners of existing CISWI units
were established by the February 7, 2013, final rule (78 FR 9112), and
that rule was certified as not having a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities. This action establishes a
federal plan to implement and enforce those requirements in those
states that do not have their own EPA-approved state plan for
implementing and enforcing the requirements. 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 or uniquely affect small governments. The action imposes
no enforceable duty or any state, local, or tribal government 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
[[Page 3567]]
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 units owned or
operated by Indian tribal governments. 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 only 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 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 Orders 12866.
I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) and 1 CFR
Part 51
This action involves technical standards. Please reference Table 6
of this preamble for the locations where these standards are available.
The EPA has decided to use ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981, ``Flue and Exhaust
Gas Analyses,'' for its manual methods of measuring the oxygen or
carbon dioxide content of the exhaust gas. These parts of ASME PTC
19.10-1981 are acceptable alternatives to EPA Methods 6 and 7 for the
manual procedures only. The EPA determined that this standard is
reasonably available because it is available for purchase. Another
voluntary consensus standards (VCS), ASTM D6784-02 (Reapproved 2008),
``Standard Test Method for Elemental, Oxidized, Particle-Bound and
Total Mercury Gas Generated from Coal-Fired Stationary Sources (Ontario
Hydro Method)'' for its manual method of measuring mercury is an
acceptable alternative to Method 29 and 30B. The EPA determined that
this standard is reasonably available because it is available for
purchase. The EPA further determined to use OAQPS Fabric Filter Bag
Leak Detection Guidance, EPA-454/R-98-015, September 1997, for its
guidance on the use of tiboelectic monitors as bag leak detectors for a
fabric filter air pollution control device and monitoring system
decriptions, selection, installation, set up, adjustment, operation,
and quality assurance procedures. The EPA determined that this standard
is reasonably available because it is freely available from the EPA.
Lastly, the EPA decided to use EPA Methods 5, 6, 6C, 7, 7E, 9, 10, l0A,
l0B, 22, 23, 26A, 29, and 30B. No VCS were found for EPA Methods 9 and
22.
While the EPA has identified 23 VCS as being potentially applicable
to the rule, we have decided not to use these VCS in this rulemaking.
The use of these VCS would be impractical because they do not meet the
objectives of the standards cited in this rule. See the docket for the
final CISWI EG (Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2003-0119), which are being
implemented under this action, for further information.
Under 40 CFR 62.14838, the EPA Administrator retains the authority
of approving alternate methods of demonstrating compliance as
established under 40 CFR 60.8(b) and 40 CFR 60.13(i), subpart A (NSPS
General Provisions). A source may apply to the EPA for permission to
use alternative test methods or alternative monitoring requirements in
place of any required EPA test methods, performance specifications, or
procedures.
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations
The EPA believes that this action does not have disproportionately
high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority
populations, low-income populations, and/or indigenous peoples, as
specified in Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
The documentation for this decision is contained in this preamble
section, as well as the final CISWI EG discussion for Executive Order
12898 (78 FR 9178, February 7, 2013). This proposed federal plan
implements the final CISWI EG for states that do not have an approved
state plan implementing the final CISWI EG. As discussed in the
preamble to the 2013 CISWI rule, the final CISWI EG will not have
disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects on minority or low-income populations because it increases the
level of environmental protection for all affected populations without
having any disproportionately high and adverse human health or
environmental effects on any population, including any minority or low-
income population. The amendments finalized in 2013 (made to the 2011
CISWI final rule) do not relax the control measures on sources
regulated by the CISWI rule, and, therefore, will not cause emissions
increases from these sources. The March 2011 final CISWI rule will
reduce emissions of all the listed hazardous air pollutants (HAP)
emitted from this source. This proposed federal plan implements
national standards in the final CISWI EG that would result in reduction
in emissions of many of the listed HAP emitted from this source. This
includes emissions of Cd, HCl, Pb, and Hg. Other emissions reductions
include reductions of criteria pollutants such as CO, NOX,
PM and PM2.5 microns or less, and SO2.
SO2 and NOX are precursors for the formation of
PM2.5 and NOX is a precursor for ozone. Reducing
these emissions will decrease the amount of such pollutants to which
all affected populations are exposed.

Introduction
Sec. 62.14500 What is the purpose of this subpart?
(a) This subpart establishes emission requirements and compliance
schedules for the control of emissions from commercial and industrial
solid waste incineration (CISWI) units that are not covered, or are
only partially covered, by an EPA approved and currently effective
state or tribal plan. The pollutants addressed by these emission
requirements are listed in Table 1 and Tables 5 through 8 of this
subpart. These emission requirements are developed in accordance with
sections 111 and 129 of the Clean Air Act and subpart B of 40 CFR part
60.
(b) In this subpart, ``you'' means the owner or operator of a CISWI
unit.
Sec. 62.14505 What are the principal components of this subpart?
This subpart contains the eleven major components listed in
paragraphs (a) through (k) of this section.
(a) [Reserved].
(b) Waste management plan.
(c) Operator training and qualification.
(d) Emission limitations and operating limits.
(e) Performance testing.
[[Page 3569]]
(f) Initial compliance requirements.
(g) Continuous compliance requirements.
(h) Monitoring.
(i) Recordkeeping and reporting.
(j) Definitions.
(k) Tables.
Applicability
Sec. 62.14510 Am I subject to this subpart?
(a) You are subject to this subpart if you own or operate a CISWI
unit as defined in Sec. 62.14840 or an air curtain incinerator as
defined in Sec. 62.14840 and the CISWI unit or air curtain incinerator
meets the criteria described in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(3) of
this section.
(1) Construction of your CISWI unit or air curtain incinerator
commenced on or before June 4, 2010, or commenced modification or
reconstruction after June 4, 2010 but no later than August 7, 2013.
(2) Your CISWI unit is not exempt under Sec. 62.14525.
(3) Your CISWI unit is not regulated by an EPA approved and
currently effective state or tribal plan, or your CISWI unit is located
in any state whose approved state or tribal plan is only approved in
part. In the case of a state or tribal program that is approved in
part, the federal plan applies to affected CISWI units in lieu of the
disapproved portions of the state or tribal program until the state or
tribe plan addresses the deficiencies and the revised plan is approved
by the EPA.
(b) If changes to the CISWI unit are made after August 7, 2013 that
meet the definition of modification or reconstruction, your CISWI unit
is subject to subpart CCCC of 40 CFR part 60 and this subpart no longer
applies to that unit.
(c) If you make physical or operational changes to your existing
CISWI unit primarily to comply with this subpart, then such changes do
not qualify as modifications or reconstructions under subpart CCCC of
40 CFR part 60.
Sec. 62.14515 Can my CISWI unit be covered by both a state plan and
this subpart?
(a) If your CISWI unit is located in a state that does not have an
EPA-approved state plan or your state's plan has not become effective,
this subpart applies to your CISWI unit until the EPA approves a state
plan that covers your CISWI unit and that state plan becomes effective.
However, a state may enforce the requirements of a state regulation
while your CISWI unit is still subject to this subpart.
(b) After the EPA fully approves a state plan covering your CISWI
unit, and after that state plan becomes effective, you will no longer
be subject to this subpart and will only be subject to the approved and
effective state plan. If the state or tribal plan are only approved in
part, you will remain subject to the federal plan to the extent
necessary to address the deficiencies in the disapproved portions of
the state or tribal plan.
Sec. 62.14520 How do I determine if my CISWI unit is covered by an
approved and effective state or tribal plan?
This part (40 CFR part 62) contains a list of state and tribal
areas with approved Clean Air Act section 111(d) and section 129 plans
along with the effective dates for such plans. The list is published
annually. If this part does not indicate that your state or tribal area
has an approved and effective plan, you should contact your state
environmental agency's air director or your EPA Regional Office to
determine if the EPA has approved a state plan covering your unit since
publication of the most recent version of this subpart.
Sec. 62.14521 If my CISWI unit is not listed in the federal plan
inventory, am I exempt from this subpart?
Any CISWI unit that meets the applicability criteria in Sec.
62.14510 is required to comply with the applicable emissions guidelines
even if the source is not listed in the federal plan or otherwise
applicable state or tribal plan inventory. CISWI units subject to this
subpart are not limited to the inventory of sources listed in Docket
EPA-HQ-OAR-2016-0664 for the federal plan. If your CISWI units meets
the applicability criteria in Sec. 62.14510, this subpart applies to
you whether or not your unit is listed in the federal plan inventory in
the docket.
Sec. 62.14525 Can my combustion unit be exempt from this subpart?
This subpart exempts 8 types of units, described in paragraphs (a)
and (c) through (o) of this section, from complying with the
requirements of this subpart with the exception of the requirements
specified in this section.
(a) Pathological waste incineration units. Incineration units
burning 90 percent or more by weight (on a calendar quarter basis and
excluding the weight of auxiliary fuel and combustion air) of
pathological waste, low-level radioactive waste, and/or
chemotherapeutic waste as defined in Sec. 62.14840 are not subject to
this subpart if you meet the two requirements specified in paragraphs
(a)(1) and (2) of this section.
(1) Notify the Administrator that the unit meets these criteria.
(2) Keep records on a calendar quarter basis of the weight of
pathological waste, low-level radioactive waste, and/or
chemotherapeutic waste burned, and the weight of all other fuels and
wastes burned in the unit.

restarts operation.
Waste Management Plan
Sec. 62.14580 What is a waste management plan?
A waste management plan is a written plan that identifies both the

doing to ensure that a qualified operator is accessible, and when you
anticipate that a qualified operator will be accessible.
(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

(i) A qualified operator is accessible as required under Sec.
62.14595(a).
(ii) You notify the Administrator that a qualified operator is
accessible and that you are resuming operation.
Emission Limitations and Operating Limits
Sec. 62.14630 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 February 7, 2018. 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 1
of this subpart, as applicable.
Sec. 62.14635 What operating limits must I meet and by when?
(a) If you use a wet scrubber to comply with the emission
limitations, you must establish operating limits for 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.
(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 liquor flow rate, which is calculated as the
lowest 1-hour average liquor 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 hydrogen chloride 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 any 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, and lowest reagent flow rate measured during the most
recent performance test demonstrating compliance with the nitrogen
oxides emission limitations.
[[Page 3573]]
(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 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 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] TP11JA17.007
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] TP11JA17.008
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 your 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:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TP11JA17.009
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] TP11JA17.010
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
[[Page 3574]]
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.

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 mass balances, to
comply with the emission limitations under Sec. 62.14630, 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

adjusted to 7 percent oxygen using Equation 5 of this section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TP11JA17.011
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

You use results of performance tests to demonstrate compliance with
the emission limitations in Table 1 of this subpart or tables 5 through
8 of this subpart.
Initial Compliance Requirements
Sec. 62.14660 How do I demonstrate initial compliance with the
emission limitations and establish the operating limits?
You must conduct an initial performance test to determine
compliance with the emission limitations in Table 1 of this subpart and
tables 5 through 8 of this subpart, to establish compliance with any
opacity operating limits in Sec. 62.14635, to establish the kiln-
specific emission limit in Sec. 62.14670(y), as applicable, and to
establish operating limits using the procedure in Sec. 62.14635 or
Sec. 62.14640. The initial performance test must be conducted using
the test methods listed in table 1 of this subpart and tables 5 through
8 of this subpart and the procedures in Sec. 62.14650. 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. 62.14665 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 February 7, 2018, or the date you restart your CISWI unit if later
than February 7, 2018.
(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

facility must be completed.
Continuous Compliance Requirements
Sec. 62.14670 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 paragraph (a)(2) of
this section. 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;
(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.
[[Page 3576]]
(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. 62.14650. The
annual performance test must be conducted using the test methods listed
in table 1 or tables 5 through 8 of this subpart and the procedures in
Sec. 62.14650. 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. 62.14635 or established under Sec. 62.14640.
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. 62.14640 or, for
energy recovery units, where the averaging time for each operating
parameter is a 30-day rolling average, 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 tests 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, apppendix A-4 (except where particulate matter continuous
monitoring system or continuous parameter monitoring systems are used)
and the pollutants listed in table 6 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.
62.14690(n) instead of the continuous parameter monitoring system
specified in Sec. 62.14670(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. 62.14690(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. 62.14690.
(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
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 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;
[[Page 3577]]
(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] TP11JA17.012
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 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. 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
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
requirements in paragraph (l) of this section. This requirement also
applies to you if you petition the EPA Administrator for alternative

weigh hopper, or hopper flow measurement device), you must meet the
requirements in paragraphs (l) and (q)(1) and (2) of this section:
(1) Install the system in a position(s) that provides a
representative measurement of the total sorbent injection rate; and
(2) Conduct a performance evaluation of the sorbent injection rate

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 40 CFR part 60 and must

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 40 CFR part 60, 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

Analyses [Part 10, Instruments and Apparatus], as applicable, must be
used (see paragraph (z) of this secion).
(2) The span value of the CEMS at the inlet to the sulfur dioxide
control device must be 125 percent of the maximum estimated hourly
potential sulfur dioxide emissions of the unit subject to this rule.
The span value of the CEMS at the outlet of the sulfur dioxide control
device must be 50 percent of the maximum estimated hourly potential

performance specification 2 of appendix B of 40 CFR part 60, 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, Flue and Exhaust Gas
Analyses [Part 10, Instruments and Apparatus], as applicable, must be
used (see paragraph (z) of this section).
(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 40 CFR part
60.
(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,
Flue and Exhaust Gas Analyses [Part 10, Instruments and Apparatus], as
applicable, must be used to determine the oxygen concentration at the
same location as the carbon dioxide monitor (see paragraph (z) of this
section);
(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.
(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 40 CFR part 60.
(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. 62.14840 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. 62.14635;
(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 40 CFR part 60.
(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
[[Page 3580]]
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,
electrostatic precipitator 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. 62.14635.
(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 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] TP11JA17.013
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).

test?
You must conduct annual performance tests between 11 and 13 months
of the previous performance test.
Sec. 62.14676 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. 62.14666.
Sec. 62.14680 May I conduct performance testing less often?
(a) You must conduct annual performance tests according to the
schedule specified in Sec. 62.14675, 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. 62.14685. 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. 62.14840; and
(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 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

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. 62.14685 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. 62.14690 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. 62.14630, 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.
62.14695(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.
(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
[[Page 3582]]
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.
(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. 62.14630, 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. 62.14640.
(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. 62.14650,
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. 62.14670(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.
(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, electrostatic precipitator
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) (see Sec. 62.14670(z)), 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. 62.14670(j) of this subpart.
(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 40 CFR part 60, the quality assurance procedure 1 of
appendix F of 40 CFR part 60 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.
62.14650, 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
[[Page 3583]]
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 40 CFR part 60, the quality assurance requirements
of procedure 1 of appendix F of 40 CFR part 60 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.
62.14650, 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. 62.14630. Energy recovery units that use a
particulate matter CEMS to demonstrate initial and continuing
compliance according to the procedures in Sec. 62.14690(n) are not
required to install a continuous opacity monitoring system and must
perform the annual performance tests for opacity consistent with Sec.
62.14670(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;
(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 40 CFR part 60 and quality assurance requirements of
procedure 2 of appendix F of 40 CFR part 60 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. 62.14650 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. 62.14670(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. 62.14650. 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 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. 62.14695;
(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 40 CFR part 60;
(12) During each relative accuracy test run of the CEMS required by
performance specification 11 in appendix B of 40 CFR part 60,
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 at 40 CFR part
60, appendix A-3 must be used; and
[[Page 3584]]
(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.
(13) Quarterly accuracy determinations and daily calibration drift
tests must be performed in accordance with procedure 2 in appendix F of
40 CFR part 60.
(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 40 CFR part 60, the quality assurance procedure 1
of appendix F of 40 CFR part 60 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.
62.14650, 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. 62.14840 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. 62.14635;
(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.
(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, electrostatic precipitator 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. 62.14670(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

(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. 62.14635.

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 3585]]

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. 62.14695 Is there a minimum amount of monitoring data I must
obtain?
For each continuous monitoring system required or optionally
allowed under Sec. 62.14690, 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. 62.14730(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, 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.

Definitions
Sec. 62.14840 What definitions must I know?
Terms used but not defined in this subpart are defined in the Clean
Air Act, subparts A and B of part 60 and subpart A of this part 62.
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.
Agricultural waste means vegetative agricultural materials such as
nut and grain hulls and chaff (e.g., almond, walnut, peanut, rice, and
wheat), bagasse, orchard prunings, corn stalks, coffee bean hulls and
grounds, and other vegetative waste materials generated as a result of
agricultural operations.
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 different from conventional combustion
devices which typically have 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, liquefied petroleum gas, fuel
oil, or diesel fuel.
Average annual heat input rate means annual heat input divided by
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 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.
Bypass stack means a device used for discharging combustion gases
to avoid severe damage to the air pollution control device or other
equipment.
Calendar quarter means 3 consecutive months (non-overlapping)
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 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,

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
[[Page 3591]]
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. 62.14700(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.
Contained gaseous material means gases that are in a container when
that container is combusted.

provide a permanent record of emissions or process parameters. A
particulate matter continuous parameter monitoring system (PM CPMS) is
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,
operating limit, or operator qualification and accessibility
requirements; and
(2) Fails to meet any term or condition that is adopted to
implement an applicable requirement in this subpart and that is
included in the operating permit for any affected source required to
obtain such a permit.
Dioxins/furans means tetra-through octa-chlorinated dibenzo-p-
dioxins and dibenzofurans.
Discard means, for purposes of this subpart and 40 CFR part 60,
subpart DDDD, only, burned in an incineration unit without energy
recovery.
Drum reclamation unit means a unit that burns residues out of drums
(e.g., 55 gallon drums) so that the drums can be reused.
Dry scrubber means an add-on air pollution control system that
injects dry alkaline sorbent (dry injection) or sprays an alkaline
sorbent (spray dryer) to react with and neutralize acid gas in the
exhaust stream forming a dry powder material. Sorbent injection systems
in fluidized bed boilers and process heaters are included in this
definition. A dry scrubber is a dry control system.
Energy recovery means the process of recovering thermal energy from
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.

recovery units designed to burn biomass.
Fabric filter means an add-on air pollution control device used to
capture particulate matter by filtering gas streams through filter
media, also known as a baghouse.
Foundry sand thermal reclamation unit means a type of part
reclamation unit that removes coatings that are on foundry sand. A
foundry sand thermal reclamation unit is not an incinerator, a waste-
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

both, in concentrations or quantities that exceed applicable federal or
state standards for unrestricted release. Low-level radioactive waste
is not high-level radioactive waste, spent nuclear fuel, or by-product
material as defined by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C.
2014(e)(2)).
Malfunction means any sudden, infrequent, and not reasonably
preventable failure of air pollution control equipment, process

average voltage or amperage to the electrostatic precipitator measured
during the most recent particulate matter or mercury performance test
demonstrating compliance with the applicable emission limits.
Modification or modified CISWI unit means a CISWI unit you have

(1) The cumulative cost of the changes over the life of the unit
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
(2) Any physical change in the CISWI unit or change in the method
of operating it that increases the amount of any air pollutant emitted
for which section 129 or section 111 of the Clean Air Act has
established standards.
Municipal solid waste or municipal-type solid waste means
household, commercial/retail, or institutional waste. Household waste

following midnight during which any amount of solid waste is combusted
at any time in the CISWI unit.
Oxygen analyzer system means all equipment required to determine
the oxygen content of a gas stream and used to monitor oxygen in the
boiler or process heater flue gas, boiler/process heater, firebox, or
other appropriate location. This definition includes oxygen trim
systems and certified oxygen CEMS. The source owner or operator is
responsible to install, calibrate, maintain, and operate the oxygen
analyzer system in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Oxygen trim system means a system of monitors that is used to
maintain excess air at the desired level in a combustion device over
its operating range. A typical system consists of a flue gas oxygen

in the performance test section of the relevant standard.
Process change means any of the following physical or operational
changes:
(1) A physical change (maintenance activities excluded) to the
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
pollution control devices used to comply with the emission limits for
the CISWI unit (e.g., replacing an electrostatic precipitator with a
fabric filter); and
(4) An operational change to the air pollution control devices used
to comply with the emission limits for the affected CISWI unit (e.g.,
change in the sorbent injection rate used for activated carbon
injection).

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
(2) The cumulative cost of the construction over the life of the
