Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024
a) The owner or operator of a hazardous waste
incinerator may burn only wastes specified in its permit and only under
operating conditions specified for those wastes under Section
724.445
except the following:
1) In approved trial
burns under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
703.222
through
703.225;
or
2) Under exemptions created by
Section
724.440.
b) Other hazardous wastes may be
burned only after operating conditions have been specified in a new permit or a
permit modification as applicable. Operating requirements for new wastes may be
based on either trial burn results or alternative data included with Part B of
a permit application under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
703.205.
c) The permit for a new hazardous waste
incinerator must establish appropriate conditions for each of the applicable
requirements of this Subpart O, including but not limited to allowable waste
feeds and operating conditions necessary to meet the requirements of Section
724.445, sufficient to comply with the following standards:
1) For the period beginning with initial
introduction of hazardous waste to the incinerator and ending with initiation
of the trial burn, and only for the minimum time required to establish
operating conditions required in subsection (c)(2), not to exceed a duration of
720 hours operating time for treatment of hazardous waste, the operating
requirements must be those most likely to ensure compliance with the
performance standards of Section
724.443,
based on the Agency's engineering judgement. The Agency may extend the duration
of this period once for up to 720 additional hours when good cause for the
extension is demonstrated by the applicant
2) For the duration of the trial burn, the
operating requirements must be sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the
performance standards of Section
724.443 and
must be in accordance with the approved trial burn plan;
3) For the period immediately following
completion of the trial burn and only for the minimum period sufficient to
allow sample analysis, data computation, and submission of the trial burn
results by the applicant and review of the trial burn results and modification
of the facility permit by the Agency, the operating requirements must be those
most likely to ensure compliance with the performance standards of Section
724.443
based on the Agency's engineering judgment.
4) For the remaining duration of the permit,
the operating requirements must be those demonstrated, in a trial burn or by
alternative data specified in 35 Ill. Adm. Code
703.205(c),
as sufficient to ensure compliance with the performance standards of Section
724.443.
