B. Mixing with Nonhazardous Fuels. If hazardous waste fuel is mixed with a nonhazardous fuel, the quantity of hazardous waste before such mixing is used to comply with Paragraph A.1 of this Section.
C. Multiple Stacks. If an owner or operator burns hazardous waste in more than one on-site boiler or industrial furnace exempt under this Section, the quantity limits provided by Paragraph A.1 of this Section are implemented according to the following equation.
where:
n = the number of stacks
Actual Quantity Burned = the waste quantity burned per month in device "i"
Allowable Quantity Burned = the maximum allowable exempt quantity for stack "i" from the table in LAC 33:V.3017.A.1
NOTE: Hazardous wastes that are subject to the special requirements for very small quantity generators under LAC 33:V.1009 may be burned in an off-site device under the exemption provided by LAC 33:V.3017, but must be included in the quantity determination for the exemption.
D. Notification Requirements. The owner or operator of facilities qualifying for the small quantity burner exemption under this Section must provide a one-time signed, written notice to the administrative authority indicating the following:
E. Recordkeeping Requirements. The owner or operator must maintain at the facility for at least three years sufficient records documenting compliance with the hazardous waste quantity, firing rate, and heating value limits of this Section. At a minimum, these records must indicate the quantity of hazardous waste and other fuel burned in each unit per calendar month, and the heating value of the hazardous waste.
AUTHORITY NOTE: Promulgated in accordance with R.S. 30:2180 et seq.
