Section V-3109 - Principal Organic Hazardous Constituents (POHCs)
Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
A. Principal organic hazardous constituents (POHCs) in the waste feed must be treated to the extent required by the performance standard of LAC 33:V.3111.
B. One or more POHCs will be specified in the facility's permit from among those constituents listed in LAC 33:V.3105, Table 1 for each waste feed to be burned. This specification will be based on the degree of difficulty of incineration of the organic constituents in the waste, and on their concentration or mass in the waste feed, considering the results of waste analyses and trial burns, or alternative data submitted with the facility's permit application. Organic constituents which represent the greatest degree of difficulty of incineration will be those most likely to be designated as POHCs. Constituents are more likely to be designated as POHCs if they are present in large quantities or concentrations in the waste.
C. Trial POHCs will be designated for performance of trial burns in accordance with the procedure specified in LAC 33:V.3115 for obtaining trial burn permits.
AUTHORITY NOTE: Promulgated in accordance with R.S. 30:2180 et seq.
