Section 229.142 - Initial Performance Testing and Establishment of Operating Parameters for All HMIWIs
Universal Citation: 35 IL Admin Code ยง 229.142
Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024
a) Before January 1, 2014, each owner or operator of an HMIWI as defined in Section 229.110(a)(1) of this Part, subject to the emissions limits under Section 229.125(a) or Section 229.126(a) of this Part, shall comply with the following requirements:
1) Except as provided in Section
229.115(a)(2)(B)(v)
of this Part, conduct an initial performance test on their HMIWI by September
15, 2000.
2) Except as provided in
subsection (a)(3) of this Section, in the initial performance test, test for
all pollutants limited pursuant to Subpart E of this Part.
3) During the initial performance test, rural
HMIWIs are not required to test for HCl, Pb or Cd.
4) If an HMIWI is equipped with a dry
scrubber followed by a fabric filter, a wet scrubber, or a dry scrubber
followed by a fabric filter and wet scrubber, or a selective noncatalytic
reduction system, establish the appropriate maximum and minimum operating
parameter values indicated in Appendix B of this Part for the relevant control
system during the initial performance test, provided that the performance test
demonstrates compliance with the emission limits specified in Section
229.125
of this Part.
5) If air pollution
control equipment other than a dry scrubber followed by a fabric filter, a wet
scrubber, a dry scrubber followed by a fabric filter and a wet scrubber, or a
selective noncatalytic reduction system is used to comply with the emission
limits under Section
229.125
of this Part, the initial performance test may not be conducted until
site-specific operating parameters that will be monitored to demonstrate
compliance with this Part have been established by the Agency in a construction
permit and approved by USEPA.
6)
For rural HMIWI, establish the maximum charge rate and minimum secondary
chamber temperature as site-specific parameters during the initial performance
test, provided that the performance test demonstrates that the HMIWI is in
compliance with the emission limits specified in Section
229.126
of this Part.
b) On and after January 1, 2014, each owner or operator of an HMIWI, as defined in Section 229.110(a)(1) or (a)(2) of this Part, and subject to the emissions limits under Section 229.125(c) as applicable, or Section 229.126(c) of this Part, shall comply with the following requirements:
1) Except as provided in Section
229.115(b)(2)(B)(v)
of this Part, conduct an initial performance test on its HMIWI by January 1,
2014.
2) Except as provided for in
subsection (b)(6), in the initial performance test, test for all pollutants to
demonstrate compliance with Section
229.125(c)
or Section
229.126(c)
emissions limits, as applicable, pursuant to
Subpart E of this Part.
3) If an
HMIWI is equipped with a dry scrubber followed by a fabric filter, a wet
scrubber, a dry scrubber followed by a fabric filter and wet scrubber, or a
selective noncatalytic reduction system, establish the appropriate maximum and
minimum operating parameter values indicated in Appendix B of this Part for the
relevant control system during the initial performance test, provided that the
performance test demonstrates compliance with the emission limits specified in
Section
229.125
or
229.126
of this Part.
4) If an air
pollution control device other than a dry scrubber followed by a fabric filter,
a wet scrubber, a dry scrubber followed by a fabric filter and a wet scrubber,
or a selective noncatalytic reduction system is used to comply with the
emission limits under Section
229.125
or Section
229.126
of this Part, the initial performance test may not be conducted until
site-specific operating parameters that will be monitored to demonstrate
compliance with this Part have been established by the Agency in a construction
permit and approved by USEPA.
5)
For a rural HMIWI that is not equipped with an air pollution control device,
establish the maximum charge rate and minimum secondary chamber temperature as
site-specific parameters during the initial performance test, provided that the
performance test demonstrates that the HMIWI is in compliance with the emission
limits specified in Section
229.126(c)
of this Part.
6) The owner or
operator of an HMIWI may use results of previous performance tests for initial
compliance demonstration with the applicable emissions limits, provided the
following conditions are met:
A) The previous
emissions tests were conducted using procedures and test methods listed in
Section
229.140
of this Part or USEPA-accepted voluntary consensus standards;
B) The test results are certified as
representative of current operations; and
C) The previous emissions tests were
conducted no earlier than 1996.
7) The owner or operator of an HMIWI that
cannot certify and/or whose previous performance test results do not
demonstrate compliance with one or more of the revised emission limits must
conduct another performance test for those pollutants.
8) The owner or operator of an HMIWI, as
defined in Section
229.110(a)(1) or
(a)(2) of this Part, and subject to the
emissions limits under Section
229.125(c)
as applicable, or Section
229.126(c)
of this Part, as applicable, shall determine compliance with the visible
emissions limit for fugitive emissions from ash handling in Sections
229.125(g)
and
229.126(e)
by conducting an initial performance test using Method 22, at 40 CFR 60,
appendix A, incorporated by reference at Section
229.104(d)
of this Part.
