1. The regulations of this paragraph apply to hazardous waste burned or processed in a boiler or industrial furnace (as defined in Rule 0400-12-01-.01(2)(a)) irrespective of the purpose of burning or processing, except as provided by parts 2, 3, 4, 7, and 8 of this subparagraph. In this paragraph, the term "bur" means burning for energy recovery or destruction, or processing for materials recovery or as an ingredient. The emissions standards of subparagraphs (e), (f), (g), and (h) of this paragraph apply to facilities operating under interim status or under a permit as specified in subparagraphs (c) and (d) of this paragraph.

2. Integration of the maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards

(i) Except as provided by subparts (ii), (iii), and (iv) of this part, the standards of this rule do not apply to a new hazardous waste boiler or industrial furnace unit that becomes subject to RCRA permit requirements after October 12, 2005; or no longer apply when an owner or operator of an existing hazardous waste boiler or industrial furnace unit demonstrates compliance with the MACT requirements of 40 C.F.R. part 63 subpart EEE or equivalent state analog by conducting a comprehensive performance test and submitting to the Administrator and the Commissioner a Notification of Compliance under 40 C.F.R. §§ 63.1207(j) and 63.1210(d) or under equivalent state analogs documenting compliance with the requirements of 40 C.F.R. part 63 subpart EEE or an equivalent state analog. Nevertheless, even after this demonstration of compliance with the MACT standards, RCRA permit conditions that were based on the standards of this rule will continue to be in effect until they are removed from the permit or the permit is terminated or revoked unless the permit expressly provides otherwise.

(ii) The following standards continue to apply:

(I) If the owner or operator elects to comply with item (12)(a)1(i)(I) of Rule 0400-12-01-.07 to minimize emissions of toxic compounds from startup, shutdown, and malfunction events, subpart (c)5(i) of this paragraph requiring operations in accordance with the operating requirements specified in the permit at all times that hazardous waste is in the unit, and item (c)5(ii)(III) of this subparagraph requiring compliance with the emission standards and operating requirements during startup and shutdown if hazardous waste is in the combustion chamber, except for particular hazardous wastes. These provisions apply only during startup, shutdown, and malfunction events;

(II) The closure requirements of subpart (c)5(xi) and part (d)12 of this paragraph;

(III) The standards for direct transfer of subparagraph (l) of this paragraph;

(IV) The standards for regulation of residues of subparagraph (m) of this paragraph; and

(iii) If the owner or operator of a boiler or hydrochloric acid production furnace that is an area source under 40 C.F.R. § 63.2 or equivalent state analog and the owner or operator elects not to comply with the emission standards under 40 C.F.R. §§ 63.1216, 63.1217, and 63.1218 or equivalent state analogs for particulate matter, semivolatile and low volatile metals, and total chlorine, the owner or operator also remains subject to:

(I) Subparagraph (f) of this paragraph--Standards to control particulate matter;

(II) Subparagraph (g) of this paragraph--Standards to control metals emissions, except for mercury; and

(III) Subparagraph (h) of this paragraph--Standards to control hydrogen chloride and chlorine gas.

(iv) The particulate matter standard of subparagraph (f) of this paragraph remains in effect for boilers that elect to comply with the alternative to the particulate matter standard under 40 C.F.R. §§ 63.1216(e) and 63.1217(e) or equivalent state analogs.

3. The following hazardous wastes and facilities are not subject to regulation under this paragraph:

(i) Used oil burned for energy recovery that is also a hazardous waste solely because it exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste identified in Rule 0400-12-01-.02(3). Such used oil is subject to regulation under Rule 0400-12-01-.11;

(ii) Gas recovered from hazardous or solid waste landfills when such gas is burned for energy recovery;

(iii) Hazardous wastes that are exempt from regulation under subparagraph (1)(d) of Rule 0400-12-01-.02 and items (1)(f)1(iii)(III) and (IV) of Rule 0400-12-01-.02, and hazardous wastes that are subject to the special requirements for very small quantity generators under subparagraph (1)(e) of Rule 0400-12-01-.03; and

(II) Sample and analyze the hazardous waste and other feedstocks as necessary to comply with the requirements of this subpart by using appropriate methods; and

(III) Maintain at the facility for at least three years records to document compliance with the provisions of this subpart including limits on levels of toxic organic constituents and Btu value of the waste, and levels of recoverable metals in the hazardous waste compared to normal nonhazardous waste feedstocks.

(ii) A hazardous waste meeting either of the following criteria is not processed solely for metal recovery:

(I) The hazardous waste has a total concentration of organic compounds listed in Appendix VIII of Rule 0400-12-01-.02 exceeding 500 ppm by weight, as-fired, and so is considered to be burned for destruction. The concentration of organic compounds in a waste as-generated may be reduced to the 500 ppm limit by bona fide treatment that removes or destroys organic constituents. Blending for dilution to meet the 500 ppm limit is prohibited and documentation that the waste has not been impermissibly diluted must be retained in the records required by item (i)(III) of this part; or

(II) The hazardous waste has a heating value of 5,000 Btu/lb or more, as-fired, and so is considered to be burned as fuel. The heating value of a waste as-generated may be reduced to below the 5,000 Btu/lb limit by bona fide treatment that removes or destroys organic constituents. Blending for dilution to meet the 5,000 Btu/lb limit is prohibited and documentation that the waste has not been impermissibly diluted must be retained in the records required by item (i)(III) of this part.

(iii) To be exempt from subparagraphs (c) through (l) of this paragraph, an owner or operator of a lead or nickel-chromium or mercury recovery furnace (except for owners or operators of lead recovery furnaces subject to regulation under the Secondary Lead Smelting NESHAP) or a metal recovery furnace that burns baghouse bags used to capture metallic dusts emitted by steel manufacturing, must provide a one-time written notice to the Commissioner identifying each hazardous waste burned and specifying whether the owner or operator claims an exemption for each waste under this subpart or subpart (i) of this part. The owner or operator must comply with the requirements of subpart (i) of this part for those wastes claimed to be exempt under that subpart and must comply with the requirements below for those wastes claimed to be exempt under this subpart.

(I) The hazardous wastes listed in Appendices XI, XII, and XIII of this rule, and baghouse bags used to capture metallic dusts emitted by steel manufacturing are exempt from the requirements of subpart (i) of this part, provided that:

I. A waste listed in Appendix XI of this rule must contain recoverable levels of lead, a waste listed in Appendix XII of this rule must contain recoverable levels of nickel or chromium, a waste listed in Appendix XIII of this rule must contain recoverable levels of mercury and contain less than 500 ppm of Rule 0400-12-01-.02, Appendix VIII organic constituents, and baghouse bags used to capture metallic dusts emitted by steel manufacturing must contain recoverable levels of metal; and

II. The waste does not exhibit the Toxicity Characteristic of Rule 0400-12-01-.02(3)(e) for an organic constituent; and

III. The waste is not a hazardous waste listed in Rule 0400-12-01-.02(4) because it is listed for an organic constituent as identified in Appendix VII of Rule 0400-12-01-.02; and

IV. The owner or operator certifies in the one-time notice that hazardous waste is burned under the provisions of this subpart and that sampling and analysis will be conducted or other information will be obtained as necessary to ensure continued compliance with these requirements. Sampling and analysis shall be conducted according to item (i)(II) of this part and records to document compliance with this subpart shall be kept for at least three years.

(II) The Commissioner may decide on a case-by-case basis that the toxic organic constituents in a material listed in Appendix XI, XII, or XIII of this rule that contains a total concentration of more than 500 ppm toxic organic compounds listed in Appendix VIII of Rule 0400-12-01-.02, may pose a hazard to human health and the environment when burned in a metal recovery furnace exempt from the requirements of this paragraph. In that situation, after adequate notice and opportunity for comment, the metal recovery furnace will become subject to the requirements of this paragraph when burning that material. In making the hazard determination, the Commissioner will consider the following factors:

I. The concentration and toxicity of organic constituents in the material;

II. The level of destruction of toxic organic constituents provided by the furnace; and

III. Whether the acceptable ambient levels established in Appendices IV or V of this rule may be exceeded for any toxic organic compound that may be emitted based on dispersion modeling to predict the maximum annual average off-site ground level concentration.

5. The standards for direct transfer operations under subparagraph (l) of this paragraph apply only to facilities subject to the permit standards of subparagraph (c) of this paragraph or the interim status standards of subparagraph (d) of this paragraph.

6. The management standards for residues under subparagraph (m) of this paragraph apply to any boiler or industrial furnace burning hazardous waste.

7. Owners and operators of smelting, melting, and refining furnaces (including pyrometallurgical devices such as cupolas, sintering machines, roasters, and foundry furnaces) that process hazardous waste for recovery of economically significant amounts of the precious metals gold, silver, platinum, palladium, iridium, osmium, rhodium, or ruthenium, or any combination of these are conditionally exempt from regulation under this paragraph, except for subparagraph (m) of this paragraph. To be exempt from subparagraph (b) through (l) of this paragraph, an owner or operator must:

(i) Provide a one-time written notice to the Commissioner indicating the following:

(I) The owner or operator claims exemption under this part;

(II) The hazardous waste is burned for legitimate recovery of precious metal; and

(III) The owner or operator will comply with the sampling and analysis and recordkeeping requirements of this part; and

(ii) Sample and analyze the hazardous waste as necessary to document that the waste contains economically significant amounts of metals and that the treatment recovers economically significant amounts of precious metal; and

(iii) Maintain at the facility for at least three years records to document that all hazardous wastes burned are burned for recovery of economically significant amounts of precious metal.

8. Starting June 23, 1997, owners or operators of lead recovery furnaces that process hazardous waste for recovery of lead and that are subject to regulation under the Secondary Lead Smelting NESHAP, are conditionally exempt from regulation under this part, except for subparagraph (b) of this paragraph. To be exempt, an owner or operator must provide a one-time notice to the Commissioner identifying each hazardous waste burned and specifying that the owner or operator claims an exemption under this part. The notice also must state that the waste burned has a total concentration of nonmetal compounds listed in Appendix VIII of Rule 0400-12-01-.02 of less than 500 ppm by weight, as fired and as provided in item 4(ii)(I) of this subparagraph, or is listed in Appendix XI to this rule.

2. Hazardous Waste Analysis

(i) The owner or operator must provide an analysis of the hazardous waste that quantifies the concentration of any constituent identified in Appendix VIII of Rule 0400-12-01-.02 that may reasonably be expected to be in the waste. Such constituents must be identified and quantified if present, at levels detectable by using appropriate analytical procedures. The Appendix VIII, Rule 0400-12-01-.02 constituents excluded from this analysis must be identified and the basis for their exclusion explained. This analysis will be used to provide all information required by this paragraph and Rule 0400-12-01-.07(5)(b) 8 and Rule 0400-12-01-.07(1)(j) and to enable the permit writer to prescribe such permit conditions as necessary to protect human health and the environment. Such analysis must be included as a portion of the Part B permit application, or, for facilities operating under the interim status standards of this paragraph, as a portion of the trial burn plan that may be submitted before the Part B application under provisions of Rule 0400-12-01-.07(1)(j) 6 as well as any other analysis required by the permit authority in preparing the permit. Owners and operators of boilers and industrial furnaces not operating under the interim status standards must provide the information required by Rules 0400-12-01-.07(5)(b) 8 or Rule 0400-12-01-.07(1)(j) 3 in the Part B application to the greatest extent possible.

(ii) Throughout normal operation, the owner or operator must conduct sampling and analysis as necessary to ensure that the hazardous waste, other fuels, and industrial furnace feedstocks fired into the boiler or industrial furnace are within the physical and chemical composition limits specified in the permit.

3. Emissions Standards

Owners and operators must comply with emissions standards provided by subparagraphs (e) through (h) of this paragraph.

4. Permits

(i) The owner or operator may burn only hazardous wastes specified in the facility permit and only under the operating conditions specified under part 5 of this subparagraph, except in approved trial burns under the conditions specified in Rule 0400-12-01-.07(1)(j).

(ii) Hazardous wastes not specified in the permit may not be burned until operating conditions have been specified under a new permit or 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 Rule 0400-12-01-.07(5)(b) 8.

(iii) Boilers and industrial furnaces operating under the interim status standards of subparagraph (d) of this paragraph are permitted under procedures provided by Rule 0400-12-01-.07(1)(j) 7.

(iv) A permit for a new boiler or industrial furnace (those boilers and industrial furnaces not operating under the interim status standards) must establish appropriate conditions for each of the applicable requirements of this subparagraph, including but not limited to allowable hazardous waste firing rates and operating conditions necessary to meet the requirements of part 5 of this subparagraph, in order to comply with the following standards:

(I) For the period beginning with initial introduction of hazardous waste and ending with initiation of the trial burn, and only for the minimum time required to bring the device to a point of operational readiness to conduct a trial burn, not to exceed a duration of 720 hours operating time when burning hazardous waste, the operating requirements must be those most likely to ensure compliance with the emission standards of subparagraphs (e) through (h) of this paragraph, based on the Commissioner's engineering judgment. If the applicant is seeking a waiver from a trial burn to demonstrate conformance with a particular emission standard, the operating requirements during this initial period of operation shall include those specified by the applicable provisions of subparagraph (e), (f), (g), or (h) of this paragraph. The Commissioner may extend the duration of this period for up to 720 additional hours when good cause for the extension is demonstrated by the applicant.

(II) For the duration of the trial burn, the operating requirements must be sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the emissions standards of subparagraphs (e) through (h) of this paragraph and must be in accordance with the approved trial burn plan;

(III) For the period immediately following completion of the trial burn, and only for the minimum period sufficient to allow sample analysis, data computation, submission of the trial burn results by the applicant, review of the trial burn results and modification of the facility permit by the Commissioner to reflect the trial burn results, the operating requirements must be those most likely to ensure compliance with the emission standards subparagraphs (e) through (h) of this paragraph based on the Commissioner's engineering judgment.

(IV) For the remaining duration of the permit, the operating requirements must be those demonstrated in a trial burn or by alternative data specified in Rule 0400-12-01-.07(5)(b) 8, as sufficient to ensure compliance with the emissions standards of subparagraphs (e) through (h) of this paragraph.

5. Operating Requirements

(vi) Measuring Parameters and Establishing Limits Based on Trial Burn Data

(I) General Requirements

As specified in subpart (ii) through (v) of this part, each operating parameter shall be measured, and permit limits on the parameter shall be established, according to either of the following procedures:

I. Instantaneous Limits

A parameter may be measured and recorded on an instantaneous basis (i.e., the value that occurs at any time) and the permit limit specified as the time-weighted average during all valid runs of the trial burn; or

II. Hourly Rolling Average

A. The limit for a parameter may be established and continuously monitored on an hourly rolling average basis defined as follows:

(A) A continuous monitor is one which continuously samples the regulated parameter without interruption, and evaluates the detector response at least once each 15 seconds, and computes and records the average value at least every 60 seconds.

(B) An hourly rolling average is the arithmetic mean of the 60 most recent 1-minute average values recorded by the continuous monitoring system.

B. The permit limit for the parameter shall be established based on trial burn data as the average over all valid test runs of the highest hourly rolling average value for each run.

(II) Rolling Average Limits for Carcinogenic Metals and Lead Feed rate limits for the carcinogenic metals (i.e., arsenic, beryllium, cadmium and chromium) and lead may be established either on an hourly rolling average basis as prescribed by item (I) of this subpart or on (up to) a 24 hour rolling average basis. If the owner or operator elects to use an average period from 2 to 24 hours:

I. The feed rate of each metal shall be limited at any time to ten times the feed rate that would be allowed on an hourly rolling average basis;

II. The continuous monitor shall meet the following specifications:

A. A continuous monitor is one which continuously samples the regulated parameter without interruption, and evaluates the detector response at least once each 15 seconds, and computes and records the average value at least every 60 seconds.

B. The rolling average for the selected averaging period is defined as the arithmetic mean of one hour block averages for the averaging period. A one hour block average is the arithmetic mean of the one minute averages recorded during the 60-minute period beginning at one minute after the beginning of the preceding clock hour; and

III. The permit limit for the feed rate of each metal shall be established based on trial burn data as the average over all valid test runs of the highest hourly rolling average feed rate for each run.

(III) Feed Rate Limits for Metals, Total Chloride and Chlorine, and Ash

Feed rate limits for metals, total chlorine and chloride, and ash are established and monitored by knowing the concentration of the substance (i.e., metals, chloride/chlorine, and ash) in each feedstream and the flow rate of the feedstream. To monitor the feed rate of these substances, the flow rate of each feedstream must be monitored under the continuous monitoring requirements of items (I) and (II) of this subpart.

(IV) Conduct of Trial Burn Testing

I. If compliance with all applicable emissions standards of subparagraphs (e) through (h) of this paragraph is not demonstrated simultaneously during a set of test runs, the operating conditions of additional test runs required to demonstrate compliance with remaining emissions standards must be as close as possible to the original operating conditions.

II. Prior to obtaining test data for purposes of demonstrating compliance with the emissions standards of subparagraphs (e) through (h) of this paragraph or establishing limits on operating parameters under this subparagraph, the facility must operate under trial burn conditions for a sufficient period to reach steady-state operations. The Commissioner may determine, however, that industrial furnaces that recycle collected particulate matter back into the furnace and that comply with an alternative implementation approach for metals under part (g)6 of this paragraph need not reach steady state conditions with respect to the flow of metals in the system prior to beginning compliance testing for metals emissions.

III. Trial burn data on the level of an operating parameter for which a limit must be established in the permit must be obtained during emissions sampling for the pollutant(s) (i.e., metals, PM, HCl/Cl2, organic compounds) for which the parameter must be established as specified by this part.

(vii) General Requirements

(I) Fugitive Emissions Fugitive emissions must be controlled by:

I. Keeping the combustion zone totally sealed against fugitive emissions; or

II. Maintaining the combustion zone pressure lower than atmospheric pressure; or

III. An alternate means of control demonstrated (with Part B of the permit application) to provide fugitive emissions control equivalent to maintenance of combustion zone pressure lower than atmospheric pressure.

(II) Automatic Waste Feed Cutoff

A boiler or industrial furnace must be operated with a functioning system that automatically cuts off the hazardous waste feed when operating conditions deviate from those established under this subparagraph. The Commissioner may limit the number of cutoffs per an operating period on a case-by-case basis. In addition:

I. The permit limit for (the indicator of) minimum combustion chamber temperature must be maintained while hazardous waste or hazardous waste residues remain in the combustion chamber;

II. Exhaust gases must be ducted to the air pollution control system operated in accordance with the permit requirements while hazardous waste or hazardous waste residues remain in the combustion chamber; and

III. Operating parameters for which permit limits are established must continue to be monitored during the cutoff, and the hazardous waste feed shall not be restarted until the levels of those parameters comply with the permit limits. For parameters that may be monitored on an instantaneous basis, the Commissioner will establish a minimum period of time after a waste feed cutoff during which the parameter must not exceed the permit limit before the hazardous waste feed may be restarted.

(III) Changes

A boiler or industrial furnace must cease burning hazardous waste when changes in combustion properties, or feed rates of the hazardous waste, other fuels, or industrial furnace feedstocks, or changes in the boiler or industrial furnace design or operating conditions deviate from the limits as specified in the permit.

(viii) Monitoring and Inspections

(I) The owner or operator must monitor and record the following, at a minimum, while burning hazardous waste:

I. If specified by the permit, feed rates and composition of hazardous waste, other fuels, and industrial furnace feedstocks, and feed rates of ash, metals, and total chloride and chlorine;

II. If specified by the permit, carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and oxygen on a continuous basis at a common point in the boiler or industrial furnace downstream of the combustion zone and prior to release of stack gases to the atmosphere in accordance with operating requirements specified in item (ii)(II) of this part. CO, HC, and oxygen monitors must be installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with methods specified in Appendix IX of this rule; and

III. Upon the request of the Commissioner, sampling and analysis of the hazardous waste (and other fuels and industrial furnace feedstocks as appropriate), residues, and exhaust emissions must be conducted to verify that the operating requirements established in the permit achieve the applicable standards of subparagraphs (e), (f), (g), and (h) of this paragraph.

(II) All monitors shall record data in units corresponding to the permit limit unless otherwise specified in the permit.

(III) The boiler or industrial furnace and associated equipment (pumps, valves, pipes, fuel storage tanks, etc.) must be subjected to thorough visual inspection when it contains hazardous waste, at least daily for leaks, spills, fugitive emissions, and signs of tampering.

(IV) The automatic hazardous waste feed cutoff system and associated alarms must be tested at least once every 7 days when hazardous waste is burned to verify operability, unless the applicant demonstrates to the Commissioner that weekly inspections will unduly restrict or upset operations and that less frequent inspections will be adequate. At a minimum, operational testing must be conducted at least once every 30 days.

(V) These monitoring and inspection data must be recorded and the records must be placed in the operating record required by Rules 0400-12-01-.06(5)(d).

(ix) Direct Transfer to the Burner

If hazardous waste is directly transferred from a transport vehicle to a boiler or industrial furnace without the use of a storage unit, the owner and operator must comply with subparagraph (l) of this paragraph.

(x) Recordkeeping

The owner or operator must maintain in the operating record of the facility all information and data required by this subparagraph for five (5) years, or as required by a permit issued after the effective date of this rulemaking, but no less than five (5) years.

(xi) Closure

At closure, the owner or operator must remove all hazardous waste and hazardous waste residues (including, but not limited to, ash, scrubber waters, and scrubber sludges) from the boiler or industrial furnace.

(d) Interim Status Standards for Burners [40 CFR 266.103]

1. Purpose, Scope, Applicability

(i) General

(I) The purpose of this subparagraph is to establish minimum national standards for owners and operators of "existin" boilers and industrial furnaces that burn hazardous waste where such standards define the acceptable management of hazardous waste during the period of interim status. The standards of this subparagraph apply to owners and operators of existing facilities until either a permit is issued under part (c)4 of this paragraph or until closure responsibilities identified in this subparagraph are fulfilled.

(II) "Existing or in existenc" means a boiler or industrial furnace that on or before August 21, 1991 is either in operation burning or processing hazardous waste or for which construction (including the ancillary facilities to burn or to process the hazardous waste) has commenced. A facility has commenced construction if the owner or operator has obtained the Federal, State, and local approvals or permits necessary to begin physical construction; and either:

I. A continuous on-site, physical construction program has begun; or

II. The owner or operator has entered into contractual obligations-which cannot be canceled or modified without substantial loss-for physical construction of the facility to be completed within a reasonable time.

(III) If a boiler or industrial furnace is located at a facility that already has a permit or interim status, then the facility must comply with the applicable regulations dealing with permit modifications in Rule 0400-12-01-.07(9)(c) 5 or changes in interim status in Rule 0400-12-01-.07(3)(c).

(ii) Exemptions

The requirements of this subparagraph do not apply to hazardous waste and facilities exempt under part (a)2 or subparagraph (i) of this paragraph.

(iii) Prohibition on Burning Dioxin-listed Wastes

The following hazardous waste listed for dioxin and hazardous waste derived from any of these wastes may not be burned in a boiler or industrial furnace operating under interim status: F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, and F027.

(iv) Applicability of Rule 0400-12-01-.05 Standards

Owners and operators of boilers and industrial furnaces that burn hazardous waste and are operating under interim status are subject to the following provisions of Rule 0400-12-01-.05, except as provided otherwise by this subparagraph:

(I) In paragraph (1) (General), Rule 0400-12-01-.05;

(II) In paragraph (2) (General facility standards), Rules 0400-12-01-.05(2)(b) through (h);

(III) In paragraph (3) (Preparedness and prevention), Rules 0400-12-01-.05(3)(b) through (h);

(IV) In paragraph (4) (Contingency plan and emergency procedures), Rules 0400-12-01-.05(4)(b) through (g);

(V) In paragraph (5) (Manifest system, recordkeeping, and reporting), Rules 0400-12-01-.05(5)(b) through (h), except that Rules 0400-12-01-.05(5)(b), (c), and (g) do not apply to owners and operators of on-site facilities that do not receive any hazardous waste from off-site sources;

(VI) In paragraph (7) (Closure and post-closure), Rules 0400-12-01-.05(7)(b) through (f);

(VII) In paragraph (8) (Financial requirements), Rules 0400-12-01-.05(8)(b), (c), (d), (n), and (o), except that States and the Federal government are exempt from the requirements of paragraph (8); and

(VIII) In paragraph (28) (Air emission standards for equipment leaks), except Rule 0400-12-01-.05(28)(a) 1.

(v) Special Requirements for Furnaces

The following controls apply during interim status to industrial furnaces (e.g., kilns, cupolas) that feed hazardous waste for a purpose other than solely as an ingredient (see item 2(v)(II) of this subparagraph) at any location other than the hot end where products are normally discharged or where fuels are normally fired:

(I) Controls

I. The hazardous waste shall be fed at a location where combustion gas temperatures are at least 1800 °F;

II. The owner or operator must determine that adequate oxygen is present in combustion gases to combust organic constituents in the waste and retain documentation of such determination in the facility record;

III. For cement kiln systems, the hazardous waste shall be fed into the kiln; and

IV. The hydrocarbon controls of part (e)3 or subpart 3(v) of this subparagraph apply upon certification of compliance under part 3 of this subparagraph irrespective of the CO level achieved during the compliance test.

(II) Burning Hazardous Waste Solely as an Ingredient

A hazardous waste is burned for a purpose other than solely as an ingredient if it meets either of these criteria:

I. The hazardous waste has a total concentration of nonmetal compounds listed in Appendix VIII of Rule 0400-12-01-.02(5) exceeding 500 ppm by weight, as-fired, and so is considered to be burned for destruction. The concentration of nonmetal compounds in a waste as-generated may be reduced to the 500 ppm limit by bona fide treatment that removes or destroys nonmetal constituents. Blending for dilution to meet the 500 ppm limit is prohibited and documentation that the waste has not been impermissibly diluted must be retained in the facility record; or

II. The hazardous waste has a heating value of 5,000 Btu/lb or more, as-fired, and so is considered to be burned as fuel. The heating value of a waste as-generated may be reduced to below the 5,000 Btu/lb limit by bona fide treatment that removes or destroys organic constituents. Blending to augment the heating value to meet the 5,000 Btu/lb limit is prohibited and documentation that the waste has not been impermissibly blended must be retained in the facility record.

(vi) Restrictions on Burning Hazardous Waste That Is not a Fuel

Prior to certification of compliance under part 3 of this subparagraph, owners and operators shall not feed hazardous waste that has a heating value less than 5,000 Btu/lb, as-generated, (except that the heating value of a waste as-generated may be increased to above the 5,000 Btu/lb limit by bona fide treatment; however, blending to augment the heating value to meet the 5,000 Btu/lb limit is prohibited and records must be kept to document that impermissible blending has not occurred) in a boiler or industrial furnace, except that:

(I) Hazardous waste may be burned solely as an ingredient; or

(II) Hazardous waste may be burned for purposes of compliance testing (or testing prior to compliance testing) for a total period of time not to exceed 720 hours; or

(III) Such waste may be burned if the Commissioner has documentation to show that, prior to August 21, 1991:

I. The boiler or industrial furnace is operating under the interim status standards for incinerators provided by paragraph (15) of Rule 0400-12-01-.05, or the interim status standards for thermal treatment units provided by paragraph (16) of Rule 0400-12-01-.05; and

II. The boiler or industrial furnace met the interim status eligibility requirements under Rule 0400-12-01-.07(3)(a) for paragraph (15) or (16) of Rule 0400-12-01-.05; and

III. Hazardous waste with a heating value less than 5,000 Btu/lb was burned prior to that date; or

(IV) Such waste may be burned in a halogen acid furnace if the waste was burned as an excluded ingredient under Rule 0400-12-01-.02(1)(b) 5 prior to February 21, 1991 and documentation is kept on file supporting this claim.

(vii) Direct Transfer to the Burner

2. Certification of Precompliance

(i) General

The owner or operator must provide complete and accurate information specified in subpart (ii) of this part to the Commissioner on or before August 21, 1991, and must establish limits for the operating parameters specified in subpart (iii) of this part. Such information is termed a "certification of precomplianc" and constitutes a certification that the owner or operator has determined that, when the facility is operated within the limits specified in subpart (iii) of this part, the owner or operator believes that, using best engineering judgment, emissions of particulate matter, metals, and HCl and Cl2 are not likely to exceed the limits provided by subparagraphs (f), (g), and (h) paragraph. The facility may burn hazardous waste only under the operating conditions that the owner or operator establishes under subpart (iii) of this part until the owner or operator submits a revised certification of precompliance under subpart (viii) of this part or a certification of compliance under part 3 of this subparagraph, or until a permit is issued.

(ii) Information Required The following information must be submitted with the certification of precompliance to support the determination that the limits established for the operating parameters identified in subpart (iii) of this part are not likely to result in an exceedance of the allowable emission rates for particulate matter, metals, and HCl and Cl2:

(I) General Facility Information:

I. EPA facility ID number;

II. Facility name, contact person, telephone number, and address;

Owners and operators of industrial furnaces that recycle back into the furnace particulate matter (PM) from the air pollution control system must comply with one of the following procedures for testing to determine compliance with the metals standards of part (g)3 or 4 of this subparagraph:

I. The special testing requirements prescribed in "Alternative Method for Implementing Metals Control" in Appendix IX of paragraph (30) of this rule; or

II. Stack emissions testing for a minimum of 6 hours each day while hazardous waste is burned during interim status. The testing must be conducted when burning normal hazardous waste for that day at normal feed rates for that day and when the air pollution control system is operated under normal conditions. During interim status, hazardous waste analysis for metals content must be sufficient for the owner or operator to determine if changes in metals content may affect the ability of the facility to meet the metals emissions standards established under part (g)3 or 4 of this subparagraph. Under this option, operating limits (under subpart (i) of this part) must be established during compliance testing under subpart 3(iii) of this subparagraph only on the following parameters:

During conditioning, hazardous waste and raw materials having the same metals content as will be fed during the compliance test must be fed at the feed rates that will be fed during the compliance test.

(III) Conduct of Compliance Testing

II. Prior to obtaining test data for purposes of demonstrating compliance with the applicable emissions standards of subparagraphs (e) through (h) of this paragraph or establishing limits on operating parameters under this subparagraph, the facility must operate under compliance test conditions for a sufficient period to reach steady-state operations. Industrial furnaces that recycle collected particulate matter back into the furnace and that comply with subitems I or II of this subpart, however, need not reach steady state conditions with respect to the flow of metals in the system prior to beginning compliance testing for metals.

III. Compliance test data on the level of an operating parameter for which a limit must be established in the certification of compliance must be obtained during emissions sampling for the pollutant(s) (i.e., metals, PM, HCl/Cl2, organic compounds) for which the parameter must be established as specified by subpart (i) of this part.

A. The Commissioner shall, in considering whether to grant the extension:

(A) Determine whether the owner and operator have submitted in a timely manner a complete Part B permit application that includes information required under Rule 0400-12-01-.07(2); and

(B) Consider whether the owner and operator have made a good faith effort to certify compliance with all other emission controls, including the controls on dioxins and furans of part (e)5 of this paragraph and the controls on PM, metals, and HCl/Cl2.

B. If an extension is granted, the Director shall, as a condition of the extension, require the facility to operate under flue gas concentration limits on CO and HC that, based on available information, including information in the Part B permit application, are baseline CO and HC levels as defined by subpart (e)6(i) of this paragraph.

(viii) Revised Certification of Compliance

The owner or operator may submit at any time a revised certification of compliance (recertification of compliance) under the following procedures:

(I) Prior to submittal of a revised certification of compliance, hazardous waste may not be burned for more than a total of 720 hours under operating conditions that exceed those established under a current certification of compliance, and such burning may be conducted only for purposes of determining whether the facility can operate under revised conditions and continue to meet the applicable emissions standards of subparagraphs (e), (f), (g), and (h) of this paragraph;

(II) At least 30 days prior to first burning hazardous waste under operating conditions that exceed those established under a current certification of compliance, the owner or operator shall notify the Commissioner and submit the following information:

I. EPA facility ID number, and facility name, contact person, telephone number, and address;

II. Operating conditions that the owner or operator is seeking to revise and description of the changes in facility design or operation that prompted the need to seek to revise the operating conditions;

III. A determination that when operating under the revised operating conditions, the applicable emissions standards of subparagraphs (e), (f), (g), and (h) of this paragraph are not likely to be exceeded. To document this determination, the owner or operator shall submit the applicable information required under subpart 2(ii) of this subparagraph; and

IV. Complete emissions testing protocol for any pretesting and for a new compliance test to determine compliance with the applicable emissions standards of subparagraphs (e), (f), (g), and (h) of this paragraph when operating under revised operating conditions.

(IV) Submit a revised certification of compliance under subpart (iv) of this part.

4. Periodic Recertifications

The owner or operator must conduct compliance testing and submit to the Commissioner a recertification of compliance under provisions of part 3 of this subparagraph within five (5) years from submitting the previous certification or recertification. If the owner or operator seeks to recertify compliance under new operating conditions, he/she must comply with the requirements of subpart 3(viii) of this subparagraph.

5. Noncompliance with Certification Schedule

If the owner or operator does not comply with the interim status compliance schedule provided by parts 2, 3, and 4 of this subparagraph, hazardous waste burning must terminate on the date that the deadline is missed, closure activities must begin under part 12 of this subparagraph, and hazardous waste burning may not resume except under an operating permit issued under Rule 0400-12-01-.07(1)(j). For purposes of compliance with the closure provisions of part 12 of this subparagraph and Rules 0400-12-01-.05(7)(c) 4(ii) and .05(7)(d) the boiler or industrial furnace has received "the known final volume of hazardous wast" on the date that the deadline is missed.

6. Start-up and Shut-down

Hazardous waste (except waste fed solely as an ingredient under the Tier I (or adjusted Tier I) feed rate screening limits for metals and chloride/chlorine) must not be fed into the device during start-up and shut-down of the boiler or industrial furnace, unless the device is operating within the conditions of operation specified in the certification of compliance.

7. Automatic Waste Feed Cutoff

During the compliance test required by subpart 3(iii) of this subparagraph, and upon certification of compliance under part 3 of this subparagraph, a boiler or industrial furnace must be operated with a functioning system that automatically cuts off the hazardous waste feed when the applicable operating conditions specified in items 3(i)(I) and (V) through (XIII) of this subparagraph deviate from those established in the certification of compliance. In addition:

(i) To minimize emissions of organic compounds, the minimum combustion chamber temperature (or the indicator of combustion chamber temperature) that occurred during the compliance test must be maintained while hazardous waste or hazardous waste residues remain in the combustion chamber, with the minimum temperature during the compliance test defined as either:

(I) If compliance with the combustion chamber temperature limit is based on an hourly rolling average, the minimum temperature during the compliance test is considered to be the average over all runs of the lowest hourly rolling average for each run; or

(II) If compliance with the combustion chamber temperature limit is based on an instantaneous temperature measurement, the minimum temperature during the compliance test is considered to be the time-weighted average temperature during all runs of the test; and

(ii) Operating parameters limited by the certification of compliance must continue to be monitored during the cutoff, and the hazardous waste feed shall not be restarted until the levels of those parameters comply with the limits established in the certification of compliance.

8. Fugitive Emissions

Fugitive emissions must be controlled by:

(i) Keeping the combustion zone totally sealed against fugitive emissions; or

(ii) Maintaining the combustion zone pressure lower than atmospheric pressure; or

(iii) An alternate means of control that the owner or operator can demonstrate provide fugitive emissions control equivalent to maintenance of combustion zone pressure lower than atmospheric pressure. Support for such demonstration shall be included in the operating record.

9. Changes

10. Monitoring and Inspections

(i) The owner or operator must monitor and record the following, at a minimum, while burning hazardous waste:

(I) Feed rates and composition of hazardous waste, other fuels, and industrial furnace feed stocks, and feed rates of ash, metals, and total chloride and chlorine as necessary to ensure conformance with the certification of precompliance or certification of compliance;

(II) Carbon monoxide (CO), oxygen, and if applicable, hydrocarbons (HC), on a continuous basis at a common point in the boiler or industrial furnace downstream of the combustion zone and prior to release of stack gases to the atmosphere in accordance with the operating limits specified in the certification of compliance. CO, HC, and oxygen monitors must be installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with methods specified in Appendix IX of this rule;

(III) Upon the request of the Commissioner, sampling and analysis of the hazardous waste (and other fuels and industrial furnace feed stocks as appropriate) and the stack gas emissions must be conducted to verify that the operating conditions established in the certification of precompliance or certification of compliance achieve the applicable standards of subparagraphs (e), (f), (g), and (h) of this paragraph.

(ii) The boiler or industrial furnace and associated equipment (pumps, valves, pipes, fuel storage tanks, etc.) must be subjected to thorough visual inspection when they contain hazardous waste, at least daily for leaks, spills, fugitive emissions, and signs of tampering.

(iii) The automatic hazardous waste feed cutoff system and associated alarms must be tested at least once every 7 days when hazardous waste is burned to verify operability, unless the owner or operator can demonstrate that weekly inspections will unduly restrict or upset operations and that less frequent inspections will be adequate. Support for such demonstration shall be included in the operating record. At a minimum, operational testing must be conducted at least once every 30 days.

(iv) These monitoring and inspection data must be recorded and the records must be placed in the operating log.

11. Recordkeeping

The owner or operator must keep in the operating record of the facility all information and data required by this subparagraph for five (5) years, or as required by a permit issued after the effective date of this rulemaking, but no less than five (5) years.

12. Closure

(e) Standards to Control Organic Emissions [40 CFR 266.104]

1. DRE Standard

(i) General

Except as provided in subpart 1(iii) of this subparagraph, a boiler or industrial furnace burning hazardous waste must achieve a destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of 99.99% for all organic hazardous constituents in the waste feed. To demonstrate conformance with this requirement, 99.99% DRE must be demonstrated during a trial burn for each principal organic hazardous constituent (POHC) designated (under subpart (ii) of this part) in its permit for each waste feed. DRE is determined for each POHC from the following equation:

Click to view Image

where:

Win = Mass feed rate of one principal organic hazardous constituent (POHC) in the hazardous waste fired to the boiler or industrial furnace; and

Wout = Mass emission rate of the same POHC present in stack gas prior to release to the atmosphere.

(ii) Designation of POHCs

Principal organic hazardous constituents (POHCs) are those compounds for which compliance with the DRE requirements of this subparagraph shall be demonstrated in a trial burn in conformance with procedures prescribed in Rule 0400-12-01-.07(1)(j). One or more POHCs shall be designated by the Commissioner for each waste feed to be burned. POHCs shall be designated based on the degree of difficulty of destruction of the organic constituents in the waste and on their concentrations or mass in the waste feed considering the results of waste analyses submitted with Part B of the permit application. POHCs are most likely to be selected from among those compounds listed in Appendix VIII of Rule 0400-12-01-.02 that are also present in the normal waste feed. However, if the applicant demonstrates to the Commissioner's satisfaction that a compound not listed in Appendix VIII or not present in the normal waste feed is a suitable indicator of compliance with the DRE requirements of this subparagraph, that compound may be designated as a POHC. Such POHCs need not be toxic or organic compounds.

(iii) Dioxin-listed Waste

A boiler or industrial furnace burning hazardous waste containing (or derived from) Hazardous Wastes Codes F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, or F027 must achieve a destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of 99.9999% for each POHC designated (under subpart (ii) of this part) in its permit. This performance must be demonstrated on POHCs that are more difficult to burn than tetra-, penta-, and hexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans. DRE is determined for each POHC from the equation in subpart (ii) of this part. In addition, the owner or operator of the boiler or industrial furnace must notify the Commissioner of intent to burn Hazardous Waste Codes F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, or F027.

(iv) Automatic Waiver of DRE Trial Burn

Owners and operators of boilers operated under the special operating requirements provided by subparagraph (k) of this paragraph are considered to be in compliance with the DRE standard of subpart (ii) of this part and are exempt from the DRE trial burn.

(v) Low Risk Waste Owners and operators of boilers or industrial furnaces that burn hazardous waste in compliance with the requirements of part (j)1 of this paragraph are considered to be in compliance with the DRE standard of subpart (ii) of this part and are exempt from the DRE trial burn.

2. Carbon Monoxide Standard

(i) Except as provided in part 3 of this subparagraph, the stack gas concentration of carbon monoxide (CO) from a boiler or industrial furnace burning hazardous waste cannot exceed 100 ppmv on an hourly rolling average basis (i.e., over any 60 minute period), continuously corrected to 7 percent oxygen, dry gas basis.

(ii) CO and oxygen shall be continuously monitored in conformance with "Performance Specifications for Continuous Emission Monitoring of Carbon Monoxide and Oxygen for Incinerators, Boilers, and Industrial Furnaces Burning Hazardous Wast" in Appendix IX of paragraph (30) of this rule.

(iii) Compliance with the 100 ppmv CO limit must be demonstrated during the trial burn (for new facilities or an interim status facility applying for a permit) or the compliance test (for interim status facilities). To demonstrate compliance, the highest hourly rolling average CO level during any valid run of the trial burn or compliance test must not exceed 100 ppmv.

3. Alternative Carbon Monoxide Standard

(i) The stack gas concentration of carbon monoxide (CO) from a boiler or industrial furnace burning hazardous waste may exceed the 100 ppmv limit provided that stack gas concentrations of hydrocarbons (HC) do not exceed 20 ppmv, except as provided by part 6 of this subparagraph for certain industrial furnaces.

(ii) HC limits must be established under this subparagraph on an hourly rolling average basis (i.e., over any 60 minute period), reported as propane, and continuously corrected to 7 percent oxygen, dry gas basis.

(iii) HC shall be continuously monitored in conformance with "Performance Specifications for Continuous Emission Monitoring of Hydrocarbons for Incinerators, Boilers, and Industrial Furnaces Burning Hazardous Wast" in Appendix IX of paragraph (30) of this rule. CO and oxygen shall be continuously monitored in conformance with subpart 2(ii) of this subparagraph.

(iv) The alternative CO standard is established based on CO data during the trial burn (for a new facility) and the compliance test (for an interim status facility). The alternative CO standard is the average over all valid runs of the highest hourly average CO level for each run. The CO limit is implemented on an hourly rolling average basis, and continuously corrected to 7 percent oxygen, dry gas basis.

4. Special Requirements for Furnaces

Owners and operators of industrial furnaces (e.g., kilns, cupolas) that feed hazardous waste for a purpose other than solely as an ingredient (see item (d)1(v)(II) of this paragraph) at any location other than the end where products are normally discharged and where fuels are normally fired must comply with the hydrocarbon limits provided by parts 3 or 6 of this subparagraph irrespective of whether stack gas CO concentrations meet the 100 ppmv limit of part 2 of this subparagraph.

5. Controls for Dioxins and Furans

Owners and operators of boilers and industrial furnaces that are equipped with a dry particulate matter control device that operates within the temperature range of 450-750 °F, and industrial furnaces operating under an alternative hydrocarbon limit established under part 6 of this subparagraph must conduct a site-specific risk assessment as follows to demonstrate that emissions of chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans do not result in an increased lifetime cancer risk to the hypothetical maximum exposed individual (MEI) exceeding 1 in 100,000:

(i) During the trial burn (for new facilities or an interim status facility applying for a permit) or compliance test (for interim status facilities), determine emission rates of the tetra-octa congeners of chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (CDDs/CDFs) using Method 0023A. Sampling Method for Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-Dioxins and Polychlorinated Dibenzofurans Emissions from Stationary Sources, EPA Publication SW-846, as listed in Rule 0400-12-01-.01(2)(b);

(ii) Estimate the 2,3,7,8-TCDD toxicity equivalence of the tetra-octa CDDs/CDFs congeners using "Procedures for Estimating the Toxicity Equivalence of Chlorinated Dibenzo-p-Dioxin and Dibenzofuran Congener" in Appendix IX of paragraph (30) of this rule. Multiply the emission rates of CDD/CDF congeners with a toxicity equivalence greater than zero (see the procedure) by the calculated toxicity equivalence factor to estimate the equivalent emission rate of 2,3,7,8-TCDD;

(iii) Conduct dispersion modeling using methods recommended in 40 CFR Part 51 , Appendix W to Part 51 ("Guideline on Air Quality Models (Revised" (1986) and its supplements), the "Hazardous Waste Combustion Air Quality Screening Procedur", provided in Appendix IX of paragraph (30) of this rule, or in Screening Procedures for Estimating the Air Quality Impact of Stationary Sources, Revised (listed in Rule 0400-12-01-.01(2)(b)) to predict the maximum annual average off-site ground level concentration of 2,3,7,8-TCDD equivalents determined under subpart (ii) of this part. The maximum annual average concentration must be used when a person resides on-site; and

(iv) The ratio of the predicted maximum annual average ground level concentration of 2,3,7,8-TCDD equivalents to the risk-specific dose for 2,3,7,8-TCDD provided in Appendix V of this rule (2.2 x 10-7) shall not exceed 1.0.

6. Monitoring CO and HC in the By-pass Duct of a Cement Kiln Cement kilns may comply with the carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon limits provided by parts 2, 3, and 4 of this subparagraph by monitoring in the by-pass duct provided that:

(i) Hazardous waste is fired only into the kiln and not at any location downstream from the kiln exit relative to the direction of gas flow; and

(ii) The by-pass duct diverts a minimum of 10% of kiln off-gas into the duct.

7. Use of Emissions Test Data to Demonstrate Compliance and Establish Operating Limits

Compliance with the requirements of this subparagraph must be demonstrated simultaneously by emissions testing or during separate runs under identical operating conditions. Further, data to demonstrate compliance with the CO and HC limits of this subparagraph or to establish alternative CO or HC limits under this subparagraph must be obtained during the time that DRE testing, and where applicable, CDD/CDF testing under part 5 of this subparagraph and comprehensive organic emissions testing under part 6 of this subparagraph is conducted.

8. Enforcement

For the purposes of permit enforcement, compliance with the operating requirements specified in the permit (under subparagraph (c) of this paragraph) will be regarded as compliance with this subparagraph. However, evidence that compliance with those permit conditions is insufficient to ensure compliance with the requirements of this subparagraph may be "informatio" justifying modification or revocation and re-issuance of a permit under Rule 0400-12-01-.07(9).

(f) Standards to Control Particulate Matter [40 CFR 266.105]

1. A boiler or industrial furnace burning hazardous waste may not emit particulate matter in excess of 180 milligrams per dry standard cubic meter (0.08 grains per dry standard cubic foot) after correction to a stack gas concentration of 7% oxygen, using procedures prescribed in 40 CFR Part 60 , appendix A, methods 1 through 5, and Appendix IX of paragraph (30) of this rule.

2. An owner or operator meeting the requirements of part (j)2 of this paragraph for the low risk waste exemption is exempt from the particulate matter standard.

3. Oxygen correction

(i) Measured pollutant levels must be corrected for the amount of oxygen in the stack gas according to the formula:

Pc = Pm x 14/(E-Y)

Where:

Pc is the corrected concentration of the pollutant in the stack gas;

Pm is the measured concentration of the pollutant in the stack gas;

E is the oxygen concentration on a dry basis in the combustion air fed to the device; and

Y is the measured oxygen concentration on a dry basis in the stack.

(ii) For devices that feed normal combustion air, E will equal 21 percent.

For devices that feed oxygen-enriched air for combustion (that is, air with an oxygen concentration exceeding 21 percent), the value of E will be the concentration of oxygen in the enriched air.

(iii) Compliance with all emission standards provided by this paragraph must be based on correcting to 7 percent oxygen using this procedure.

4. For the purposes of permit enforcement, compliance with the operating requirements specified in the permit (under subparagraph (c) of this paragraph) will be regarded as compliance with this subparagraph. However, evidence that compliance with those permit conditions is insufficient to ensure compliance with the requirements of this subparagraph may be "informatio" justifying modification or revocation and re-issuance of a permit under Rule 0400-12-01-.07(9).

(g) Standards to Control Metals Emissions [40 CFR 266.106]

1. General

The owner or operator must comply with the metals standards provided by parts 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 of this subparagraph for each metal listed in part 2 of this subparagraph that is present in the hazardous waste at detectable levels by using appropriate analytical procedures.

2. Tier I Feed Rate Screening Limits

Feed rate screening limits for metals are specified in Appendix I of this rule as a function of terrain-adjusted effective stack height and terrain and land use in the vicinity of the facility. Criteria for facilities that are not eligible to comply with the screening limits are provided in subpart (vii) of this part.

(i) Noncarcinogenic Metals

The feed rates of antimony, barium, lead, mercury, thallium, and silver in all feed streams, including hazardous waste, fuels, and industrial furnace feed stocks shall not exceed the screening limits specified in Appendix I of this rule.

(I) The feed rate screening limits for antimony, barium, mercury, thallium, and silver are based on either:

I. An hourly rolling average as defined in subitem (c)5(vi)(I)II of this paragraph; or

II. An instantaneous limit not to be exceeded at any time.

(II) The feed rate screening limit for lead is based on one of the following:

I. An hourly rolling average as defined in subitem (c)5(vi)(I)II of this paragraph;

II. An averaging period of 2 to 24 hours as defined in item (c)5(vi)(II) of this paragraph with an instantaneous feed rate limit not to exceed 10 times the feed rate that would be allowed on an hourly rolling average basis; or

III. An instantaneous limit not to be exceeded at any time.

(ii) Carcinogenic Metals

(I) The feed rates of arsenic, cadmium, beryllium, and chromium in all feed streams, including hazardous waste, fuels, and industrial furnace feed stocks shall not exceed values derived from the screening limits specified in Appendix I of this rule. The feed rate of each of these metals is limited to a level such that the sum of the ratios of the actual feed rate to the feed rate screening limit specified in Appendix I shall not exceed 1.0, as provided by the following equation:

Click to view Image

where:

n = number of carcinogenic metals

AFR = actual feed rate to the device for metal "i"

FRSL = feed rate screening limit provided by Appendix I of this part for metal "i".

(II) The feed rate screening limits for the carcinogenic metals are based on either:

I. An hourly rolling average; or

(iii) TESH

(I) The terrain-adjusted effective stack height is determined according to the following equation:

Click to view Image

where:

Ha = Actual physical stack height

H1 = Plume rise as determined from Appendix VI of this rule as a function of stack flow rate and stack gas exhaust temperature.

Tr = Terrain rise within five kilometers of the stack.

(II) The stack height may not exceed good engineering practice as specified in 40 CFR 51.100(ii).

(III) If the TESH for a particular facility is not listed in the table in the appendices, the nearest lower TESH listed in the table shall be used. If the TESH is four meters or less, a value of four meters shall be used.

(iv) Terrain Type

The screening limits are a function of whether the facility is located in noncomplex or complex terrain. A device located where any part of the surrounding terrain within 5 kilometers of the stack equals or exceeds the elevation of the physical stack height is considered to be in complex terrain and the screening limits for complex terrain apply. Terrain measurements are to be made from U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-minute topographic maps of the area surrounding the facility.

(v) Land Use

The screening limits are a function of whether the facility is located in an area where the land use is urban or rural. To determine whether land use in the vicinity of the facility is urban or rural, procedures provided in Appendix IX or Appendix X of this rule shall be used.

(vi) Multiple Stacks

Owners and operators of facilities with more than one on-site stack from a boiler, industrial furnace, incinerator, or other thermal treatment unit subject to controls of metals emissions under an operating permit or interim status controls must comply with the screening limits for all such units assuming all hazardous waste is fed into the device with the worst-case stack based on dispersion characteristics. The worst-case stack is determined from the following equation as applied to each stack:

K = HVT

Where:

K = a parameter accounting for relative influence of stack height and plume rise;

H = physical stack height (meters);

V = stack gas flow rate (m3/second); and

T = exhaust temperature (°K).

The stack with the lowest value of K is the worst-case stack.

(vii) Criteria for Facilities Not Eligible for Screening Limits

If any criteria below are met, the Tier I and Tier II screening limits do not apply. Owners and operators of such facilities must comply with either the Tier III standards provided by part 4 of this subparagraph or with the adjusted Tier I feed rate screening limits provided by part 5 of this subparagraph.

(I) The device is located in a narrow valley less than one kilometer wide;

(II) The device has a stack taller than 20 meters and is located such that the terrain rises to the physical height within one kilometer of the facility;

(III) The device has a stack taller than 20 meters and is located within five kilometers of a shoreline of a large body of water such as an ocean or large lake;

(IV) The physical stack height of any stack is less than 2.5 times the height of any building within five building heights or five projected building widths of the stack and the distance from the stack to the closest boundary is within five building heights or five projected building widths of the associated building; or

(V) The Commissioner determines that standards based on site-specific dispersion modeling are required.

(viii) Implementation

The feed rate of metals in each feedstream must be monitored to ensure that the feed rate screening limits are not exceeded.

3. Tier II Emission Rate Screening Limits

Emission rate screening limits are specified in Appendix I as a function of terrain-adjusted effective stack height and terrain and land use in the vicinity of the facility. Criteria for facilities that are not eligible to comply with the screening limits are provided in subpart 2(vii) of this subparagraph.

(i) Noncarcinogenic Metals

The emission rates of antimony, barium, lead, mercury, thallium, and silver shall not exceed the screening limits specified in Appendix I of this rule.

(ii) Carcinogenic Metals

The emission rates of arsenic, cadmium, beryllium, and chromium shall not exceed values derived from the screening limits specified in Appendix I of this rule. The emission rate of each of these metals is limited to a level such that the sum of the ratios of the actual emission rate to the emission rate screening limit specified in Appendix I shall not exceed 1.0, as provided by the following equation:

Click to view Image

where:

n = number of carcinogenic metals

AER = actual emission rate for metal "i"

ERSL = emission rate screening limit provided by appendix I of this part for metal "i".

(iii) Implementation

The emission rate limits must be implemented by limiting feed rates of the individual metals to levels during the trial burn (for new facilities or an interim status facility applying for a permit) or the compliance test (for interim status facilities). The feed rate averaging periods are the same as provided by items 2(i)(I) and (II) and 2(ii)(II) of this subparagraph. The feed rate of metals in each feedstream must be monitored to ensure that the feed rate limits for the feedstreams specified under subparagraphs (c) or (d) of this paragraph are not exceeded.

(iv) Definitions and Limitations

The definitions and limitations provided by part 2 of this subparagraph for the following terms also apply to the Tier II emission rate screening limits provided by this part: terrain-adjusted effective stack height, good engineering practice stack height, terrain type, land use, and criteria for facilities not eligible to use the screening limits.

(v) Multiple Stacks

(I) Owners and operators of facilities with more than one onsite stack from a boiler, industrial furnace, incinerator, or other thermal treatment unit subject to controls on metals emissions under a operating permit or interim status controls must comply with the emissions screening limits for any such stacks assuming all hazardous waste is fed into the device with the worst-case stack based on dispersion characteristics.

(II) The worst-case stack is determined by procedures provided in subpart 2(vi) of this subparagraph.

(III) For each metal, the total emissions of the metal from those stacks shall not exceed the screening limit for the worst-case stack.

4. Tier III and Adjusted Tier I Site-specific Risk Assessment

The requirements of this part apply to facilities complying with either the Tier III or Adjusted Tier I controls, except where specified otherwise.

(i) General

Conformance with the Tier III metals controls must be demonstrated by emissions testing to determine the emission rate for each metal. In addition, conformance with either the Tier III or Adjusted Tier I metals controls must be demonstrated by air dispersion modeling to predict the maximum annual average off-site ground level concentration for each metal, and a demonstration that acceptable ambient levels are not exceeded.

(ii) Acceptable Ambient Levels Appendices IV and V of this rule list the acceptable ambient levels for purposes of this rule. Reference air concentrations (RACs) are listed for the noncarcinogenic metals and 10-5 risk-specific doses (RSDs) are listed for the carcinogenic metals. The RSD for a metal is the acceptable ambient level for that metal provided that only one of the four carcinogenic metals is emitted. If more than one carcinogenic metal is emitted, the acceptable ambient level for the carcinogenic metals is a fraction of the RSD as described in subpart (iii) of this part.

(iii) Carcinogenic Metals

For the carcinogenic metals, arsenic, cadmium, beryllium, and chromium, the sum of the ratios of the predicted maximum annual average off-site ground level concentrations (except that on-site concentrations must be considered if a person resides on site) to the risk-specific dose (RSD) for all carcinogenic metals emitted shall not exceed 1.0 as determined by the following equation:

Click to view Image

where: n = number of carcinogenic metals

(iv) Noncarcinogenic Metals

For the noncarcinogenic metals, the predicted maximum annual average off-site ground level concentration for each metal shall not exceed the reference air concentration (RAC).

(v) Multiple Stacks

Owners and operators of facilities with more than one on-site stack from a boiler, industrial furnace, incinerator, or other thermal treatment unit subject to controls on metals emissions under a operating permit or interim status controls must conduct emissions testing (except that facilities complying with Adjusted Tier I controls need not conduct emissions testing) and dispersion modeling to demonstrate that the aggregate emissions from all such on-site stacks do not result in an exceedance of the acceptable ambient levels.

(vi) Implementation

Under Tier III, the metals controls must be implemented by limiting feed rates of the individual metals to levels during the trial burn (for new facilities or an interim status facility applying for a permit) or the compliance test (for interim status facilities). The feed rate averaging periods are the same as provided by items 2(i)(I) and (II) and 2(ii)(II) of this subparagraph. The feed rate of metals in each feedstream must be monitored to ensure that the feed rate limits for the feedstreams specified under subparagraph (c) or (d) of this paragraph are not exceeded.

5. Adjusted Tier I Feed Rate Screening Limits

The owner or operator may adjust the feed rate screening limits provided by appendix I of this part to account for site-specific dispersion modeling. Under this approach, the adjusted feed rate screening limit for a metal is determined by back-calculating from the acceptable ambient level provided by Appendices IV and V of this rule using dispersion modeling to determine the maximum allowable emission rate. This emission rate becomes the adjusted Tier I feed rate screening limit. The feed rate screening limits for carcinogenic metals are implemented as prescribed in subpart 2(ii) of this subparagraph.

6. Alternative Implementation Approaches

(i) The Commissioner may approve on a case-by-case basis approaches to implement the Tier II or Tier III metals emission limits provided by parts 3 or 4 of this subparagraph alternative to monitoring the feed rate of metals in each feedstream.

(ii) The emission limits provided by part 4 of this subparagraph must be determined as follows:

(I) For each noncarcinogenic metal, by back-calculating from the RAC provided in Appendix IV of this rule to determine the allowable emission rate for each metal using the dilution factor for the maximum annual average ground level concentration predicted by dispersion modeling in conformance with part 8 of this subparagraph; and

(II) For each carcinogenic metal by:

I. Back-calculating from the RSD provided in Appendix V of this rule to determine the allowable emission rate for each metal if that metal were the only carcinogenic metal emitted using the dilution factor for the maximum annual average ground level concentration predicted by dispersion modeling in conformance with part 8 of this subparagraph; and

II. If more than one carcinogenic metal is emitted, selecting an emission limit for each carcinogenic metal not to exceed the emission rate determined by subitem I of this item such that the sum for all carcinogenic metals of the ratios of the selected emission limit to the emission rate determined by that part does not exceed 1.0.

7. Emission Testing

(i) General

Emission testing for metals shall be conducted using Method 0060, Determinations of Metals in Stack Emissions, EPA Publication SW-846, listed in Rule 0400-12-01-.01(2)(b).

(ii) Hexavalent Chromium

Emissions of chromium are assumed to be hexavalent chromium unless the owner or operator conducts emissions testing to determine hexavalent chromium emissions using procedures prescribed in Method 0061, Determination of Hexavalent Chromium Emissions from Stationary Sources, EPA Publication SW-846, listed in Rule 0400-12-01-.01(2)(b).

8. Dispersion Modeling

Dispersion modeling required under this subparagraph shall be conducted according to methods recommended in 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix W to Part 51 ("Guideline on Air Quality Models (Revised" (1986) and its supplements), the "Hazardous Waste Combustion Air Quality Screening Procedur", provided in Appendix IX of this rule, or in Screening Procedures for Estimating the Air Quality Impact of Stationary Sources, Revised (listed in Rule 0400-12-01-.01(2)(b)) to predict the maximum annual average off-site ground level concentration. However, on-site concentrations must be considered when a person resides on-site.

9. Enforcement

(h) Standards to Control Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) and Chlorine Gas (Cl2) Emissions [40 CFR 266.107]

1. General

The owner or operator must comply with the hydrogen chloride (HCl) and chlorine (Cl2) controls provided by part 2, 3, or 5 of this subparagraph.

2. Screening Limits

(i) Tier I Feed Rate Screening Limits

Feed rate screening limits are specified for total chlorine in Appendix II of this rule as a function of terrain-adjusted effective stack height and terrain and land use in the vicinity of the facility. The feed rate of total chlorine and chloride, both organic and inorganic, in all feed streams, including hazardous waste, fuels, and industrial furnace feed stocks shall not exceed the levels specified.

(ii) Tier II Emission Rate Screening Limits

Emission rate screening limits for HCl and Cl2 are specified in Appendix III of this rule as a function of terrain-adjusted effective stack height and terrain and land use in the vicinity of the facility. The stack emission rates of HCl and Cl2 shall not exceed the levels specified.

(iii) Definitions and Limitations

The definitions and limitations provided by part (g)2 of this paragraph for the following terms also apply to the screening limits provided by this subpart: terrain-adjusted effective stack height, good engineering practice stack height, terrain type, land use, and criteria for facilities not eligible to use the screening limits.

(iv) Multiple Stacks

Owners and operators of facilities with more than one on-site stack from a boiler, industrial furnace, incinerator, or other thermal treatment unit subject to controls on HCl or Cl2 emissions under a operating permit or interim status controls must comply with the Tier I and Tier II screening limits for those stacks assuming all hazardous waste is fed into the device with the worst-case stack based on dispersion characteristics.

(I) The worst-case stack is determined by procedures provided in subpart (g)2(vi) of this paragraph.

(II) Under Tier I, the total feed rate of chlorine and chloride to all subject devices shall not exceed the screening limit for the worst-case stack.

(III) Under Tier II, the total emissions of HCl and Cl2 from all subject stacks shall not exceed the screening limit for the worst-case stack.

3. Tier III Site-specific Risk Assessments

(i) General

Conformance with the Tier III controls must be demonstrated by emissions testing to determine the emission rate for HCl and Cl2, air dispersion modeling to predict the maximum annual average off-site ground level concentration for each compound, and a demonstration that acceptable ambient levels are not exceeded.

(ii) Acceptable Ambient Levels

Appendix IV of this rule lists the reference air concentrations (RACs) for HCl (7 micrograms per cubic meter) and Cl2 (0.4 micrograms per cubic meter).

(iii) Multiple Stacks

Owners and operators of facilities with more than one on-site stack from a boiler, industrial furnace, incinerator, or other thermal treatment unit subject to controls on HCl or Cl2 emissions under a operating permit or interim status controls must conduct emissions testing and dispersion modeling to demonstrate that the aggregate emissions from all such on-site stacks do not result in an exceedance of the acceptable ambient levels for HCl and Cl2.

4. Averaging Periods

The HCl and Cl2 controls are implemented by limiting the feed rate of total chlorine and chloride in all feedstreams, including hazardous waste, fuels, and industrial furnace feed stocks. Under Tier I, the feed rate of total chloride and chlorine is limited to the Tier I Screening Limits. Under Tier II and Tier III, the feed rate of total chloride and chlorine is limited to the feed rates during the trial burn (for new facilities or an interim status facility applying for a permit) or the compliance test (for interim status facilities). The feed rate limits are based on either:

(i) An hourly rolling average as defined in subpart (c)5(vi) of this paragraph; or

(ii) An instantaneous basis not to be exceeded at any time.

5. Adjusted Tier I Feed Rate Screening Limits

The owner or operator may adjust the feed rate screening limit provided by Appendix II of this rule to account for site-specific dispersion modeling. Under this approach, the adjusted feed rate screening limit is determined by back-calculating from the acceptable ambient level for Cl2 provided by Appendix IV of this rule using dispersion modeling to determine the maximum allowable emission rate. This emission rate becomes the adjusted Tier I feed rate screening limit.

6. Emissions Testing

Emissions testing for HCl and Cl2 shall be conducted using the procedures described in Methods 0050 or 0051, EPA Publication SW-846, listed in Rule 0400-12-01-.01(2)(b).

7. Dispersion Modeling

Dispersion modeling shall be conducted according to the provisions of part (g)8 of this paragraph.

8. Enforcement

For the purposes of permit enforcement, compliance with the operating requirements specified in the permit (under subparagraph (c) of this paragraph) will be regarded as compliance with this subparagraph. However, evidence that compliance with those permit conditions is insufficient to ensure compliance with the requirements of this subparagraph may be "information" justifying modification or revocation and re-issuance of a permit under Rule 0400-12-01-.07(9).

(i) Small Quantity On-site Burner Exemption [40 CFR 266.108]

1. Exempt Quantities

(I) A minimum of 50 percent of fuel fired to the device shall be fossil fuel, fuels derived from fossil fuel, tall oil, or, if approved by the Commissioner on a case-by-case basis, other nonhazardous fuel with combustion characteristics comparable to fossil fuel. Such fuels are termed "primary fue" for purposes of this subparagraph. (Tall oil is a fuel derived from vegetable and rosin fatty acids.) The 50 percent primary fuel firing rate shall be determined on a total heat or mass input basis, whichever results in the greater mass feed rate of primary fuel fired;

(II) Primary fuels and hazardous waste fuels shall have a minimum as-fired heating value of 8,000 Btu/lb;

III. For constituents not listed in Appendix IV or V, 0.1 micrograms per cubic meter.

2. Waiver of Particulate Matter Standard

The particulate matter standard of subparagraph (f) of this paragraph does not apply if:

(i) The DRE standard is waived under part 1 of this subparagraph; and

(ii) The owner or operator complies with the Tier I or adjusted Tier I metals feed rate screening limits provided by part (g)2 or 5 of this paragraph.

(k) Waiver of DRE Trial Burn for Boilers [40 CFR 266.110]

Boilers that operate under the special requirements of this subparagraph, and that do not burn hazardous waste containing (or derived from) Hazardous Waste Codes F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, or F027, are considered to be in conformance with the DRE standard of part (e)1 of this paragraph, and a trial burn to demonstrate DRE is waived. When burning hazardous waste:

1. A minimum of 50 percent of fuel fired to the device shall be fossil fuel, fuels derived from fossil fuel, tall oil, or, if approved by the Commissioner on a case-by-case basis, other nonhazardous fuel with combustion characteristics comparable to fossil fuel. Such fuels are termed "primary fue" for purposes of this subparagraph. (Tall oil is a fuel derived from vegetable and rosin fatty acids.) The 50 percent primary fuel firing rate shall be determined on a total heat or mass input basis, whichever results in the greater mass feed rate of primary fuel fired;

2. Boiler load shall not be less than 40 percent. Boiler load is the ratio at any time of the total heat input to the maximum design heat input;

3. Primary fuels and hazardous waste fuels shall have a minimum as-fired heating value of 8,000 Btu/lb, and each material fired in a burner where hazardous waste is fired must have a heating value of at least 8,000 Btu/lb, as-fired;

4. The device shall operate in conformance with the carbon monoxide standard provided by subpart (e)2(i) of this paragraph. Boilers subject to the waiver of the DRE trial burn provided by this subparagraph are not eligible for the alternative carbon monoxide standard provided by part (e)3 of this paragraph;

5. The boiler must be a watertube type boiler that does not feed fuel using a stoker or stoker type mechanism; and

When a high pressure air or steam atomizer, low pressure atomizer, or mechanical atomizer is used, 70% of the hazardous waste fuel must pass through a 200 mesh (74 micron) screen, and when a rotary cup atomizer is used, 70% of the hazardous waste must pass through a 100 mesh (150 micron) screen;

(iii) Mechanical Atomization Systems

Fuel pressure within a mechanical atomization system and fuel flow rate shall be maintained within the design range taking into account the viscosity and volatility of the fuel;

(iv) Rotary Cup Atomization Systems

Fuel flow rate through a rotary cup atomization system must be maintained within the design range taking into account the viscosity and volatility of the fuel.

(l) Standards for Direct Transfer [40 CFR 266.111]

1. Applicability

The regulations in this subparagraph apply to owners and operators of boilers and industrial furnaces subject to subparagraphs (c) or (d) of this paragraph if hazardous waste is directly transferred from a transport vehicle to a boiler or industrial furnace without the use of a storage unit.

2. Definitions

(i) When used in this subparagraph, the following terms have the meanings given below:

(II) For existing direct transfer equipment within 2 years after August 21, 1991.

(ii) Requirements Prior to Meeting Secondary Containment Requirements

(I) For existing direct transfer equipment that does not have secondary containment, the owner or operator shall determine whether the equipment is leaking or is unfit for use. The owner or operator shall obtain and keep on file at the facility a written assessment reviewed and certified by a qualified, registered professional engineer in accordance with Rule 0400-12-01-.07(2)(a) 10 that attests to the equipment's integrity by August 21, 1992.

(m) Regulation of Residues [40 CFR 266.112]

A residue derived from the burning or processing of hazardous waste in a boiler or industrial furnace is not excluded from the definition of a hazardous waste under subparts (1)(d)2(iv), (vii), or (viii) of Rule 0400-12-01-.02 unless the device and the owner or operator meet the following requirements:

1. The device meets the following criteria:

(i) Boilers

Boilers must burn at least 50% coal on a total heat input or mass input basis, whichever results in the greater mass feed rate of coal;

(ii) Ore or Mineral Furnaces

Industrial furnaces subject to subpart (1)(d)2(vii) of Rule 0400-12-01-.02 must process at least 50% by weight normal, nonhazardous raw materials;

(iii) Cement Kilns

Cement kilns must process at least 50% by weight normal cement-production raw materials;

2. The owner or operator demonstrates that the hazardous waste does not significantly affect the residue by demonstrating conformance with either of the following criteria:

(i) Comparison of Waste-derived Residue With Normal Residue The waste-derived residue must not contain Appendix VIII, paragraph (30) of Rule 0400-12-01-.02 constituents (toxic constituents) that could reasonably be attributable to the hazardous waste at concentrations significantly higher than in residue generated without burning or processing of hazardous waste, using the following procedure. Toxic compounds that could reasonably be attributable to burning or processing the hazardous waste (constituents of concern) include toxic constituents in the hazardous waste, and the organic compounds listed in Appendix VIII of this rule that may be generated as products of incomplete combustion. For polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzo-furans, analyses must be performed to determine specific congeners and homologues, and the results converted to 2, 3, 7, 8-TCDD equivalent values using the procedure specified in section 4.0 of the Methods Manual for Compliance with the BIF Regulations. (See Appendix IX of this rule.)

(I) Normal Residue

Concentrations of toxic constituents of concern in normal residue shall be determined based on analyses of a minimum of 10 samples representing a minimum of 10 days of operation. Composite samples may be used to develop a sample for analysis provided that the compositing period does not exceed 24 hours. The upper tolerance limit (at 95% confidence with a 95% proportion of the sample distribution) of the concentration in the normal residue shall be considered the statistically-derived concentration in the normal residue. If changes in raw materials or fuels reduce the statistically-derived concentrations of the toxic constituents of concern in the normal residue, the statistically-derived concentrations must be revised or statistically-derived concentrations of toxic constituents in normal residue must be established for a new mode of operation with the new raw material or fuel. To determine the upper tolerance limit in the normal residue, the owner or operator shall use statistical procedures prescribed in "Statistical Methodology for Bevill Residue Determination" in Appendix IX of this rule.

(II) Waste-derived Residue

Waste-derived residue shall be sampled and analyzed as often as necessary to determine whether the residue generated during each 24-hour period has concentrations of toxic constituents that are higher than the concentrations established for the normal residue under item (I) of this subpart. If so, hazardous waste burning has significantly affected the residue and the residue shall not be excluded from the definition of a hazardous waste. Concentrations of toxic constituents of concern in the waste-derived residue shall be determined based on analysis of one or more samples obtained over a 24-hour period. Multiple samples may be analyzed, and multiple samples may be taken to form a composite sample for analysis provided that the sampling period does not exceed 24 hours. If more than one sample is analyzed to characterize waste-derived residues generated over a 24-hour period, the concentration of each toxic constituent shall be the arithmetic mean of the concentrations in the samples. No results may be disregarded; or

(ii) Comparison of Waste-derived Residue Concentrations With Health-based Limits

(I) Nonmetal Constituents

The concentration of each nonmetal toxic constituent of concern (specified in subpart (i) of this part) in the waste-derived residue must not exceed the health-based level specified in Appendix VII of this rule, or the level of detection, whichever is higher. If a health-based limit for a constituent of concern is not listed in Appendix VII of this rule, then a limit of 0.002 micrograms per kilogram or the level of detection (which must be determined by using appropriate analytic procedures), whichever is higher, must be used. The levels specified in Appendix VII of this rule (and the default level of 0.002 micrograms per kilogram or the level of detection for constituents as identified in Note 1 of Appendix VII of this rule) are administratively stayed under the condition, for those constituents specified in subpart (i) of this part, that the owner or operator complies with alternative levels defined as the land disposal restriction limits specified in subparagraph (3)(d) of Rule 0400-12-01-.10 for F039 nonwastewaters. In complying with those alternative levels, if an owner or operator is unable to detect a constituent despite documenting use of best good-faith efforts as defined by applicable Department guidance or standards, the owner or operator is deemed to be in compliance for that constituent. Until new guidance or standards are developed, the owner or operator may demonstrate such good-faith efforts by achieving a detection limit for the constituent that does not exceed an order of magnitude above the level provided by subparagraph (3)(d) of Rule 0400-12-01-.10 for F039 nonwastewaters. In complying with the subparagraph (3)(d) of Rule 0400-12-01-.10 F039 nonwastewater levels for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzo-furans, analyses must be performed for total hexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins, total hexachlorodibenzofurans, total pentachlorobibenzo-p-dioxins, total pentachlorodibenzofurans, total tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins, and total tetrachlorodibenzofurans.

(Note: The administrative stay, under the condition that the owner or operator complies with alternative levels defined as the land disposal restriction limits specified in 40 CFR § 268.43 for F039 nonwastewaters, remains in effect until further administrative action is taken and notice is published in the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations.)

(II) Metal Constituents

The concentration of metals in an extract obtained using the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure of subparagraph (3)(e) of Rule 0400-12-01-.02 must not exceed the levels specified in Appendix VII of this rule; and

(III) Sampling and Analysis

Waste-derived residue shall be sampled and analyzed as often as necessary to determine whether the residue generated during each 24-hour period has concentrations of toxic constituents that are higher than the health-based levels. Concentrations of toxic constituents of concern in the waste-derived residue shall be determined based on analysis of one or more samples obtained over a 24-hour period. Multiple samples may be analyzed, and multiple samples may be taken to form a composite sample for analysis provided that the sampling period does not exceed 24 hours. If more than one sample is analyzed to characterize waste-derived residues generated over a 24-hour period, the concentration of each toxic constituent shall be the arithmetic mean of the concentrations in the samples. No results may be disregarded; and

3. Records sufficient to document compliance with the provisions of this subparagraph shall be retained until closure of the boiler or industrial furnace unit. At a minimum, the following shall be recorded.

(i) Levels of constituents in Appendix VIII in paragraph (30) of Rule 0400-12-01-.02, that are present in waste-derived residues;

(ii) If the waste-derived residue is compared with normal residue under subpart 2(i) of this subparagraph:

(I) The levels of constituents in Appendix VIII in paragraph (30) of Rule 0400-12-01-.02, that are present in normal residues; and

(II) Data and information, including analyses of samples as necessary, obtained to determine if changes in raw materials or fuels would reduce the concentration of toxic constituents of concern in the normal residue.

(9) through (12) (RESERVED) [40 CFR 266 Subparts I through L]

(13) Military Munitions [40 CFR 266 Subpart M]

(a) Applicability [40 CFR 266.200]

1. The regulations in this paragraph identify when military munitions become a solid waste, and, if these wastes are also hazardous under this paragraph or Rule 0400-12-01-.02, the management standards that apply to these wastes.

2. Unless otherwise specified in this paragraph, all applicable requirements in Rule 0400-12-01-.01 through .10 apply to waste military munitions.

(b) Definitions [40 CFR 266.201]

In addition to the definitions in Rule 0400-12-01-.01(2)(a), the following definitions apply to this paragraph:

"Active rang" means a military range that is currently in service and is being regularly used for range activities.

"Chemical agents and munition" are defined as in 50 U.S.C. section 1521(j)(1).

"Explosives or munitions emergency response specialis" is as defined in Rule 0400-12-01-.01(2)(a).

"Explosives or munitions emergenc" is as defined in Rule 0400-12-01-.01(2)(a).

"Explosives or munitions emergency respons" is as defined in Rule 0400-12-01-.01(2)(a).

"Inactive rang" means a military range that is not currently being used, but that is still under military control and considered by the military to be a potential range area, and that has not been put to a new use that is incompatible with range activities.

"Militar" means the Department of Defense (DOD), the Armed Services, Coast Guard, National Guard, Department of Energy (DOE), or other parties under contract or acting as an agent for the foregoing, who handle military munitions.

"Military munition" is as defined in Rule 0400-12-01-.01(2)(a).

"Military rang" means designated land and water areas set aside, managed, and used to conduct research on, develop, test, and evaluate military munitions and explosives, other ordnance, or weapon systems, or to train military personnel in their use and handling. Ranges include firing lines and positions, maneuver areas, firing lanes, test pads, detonation pads, impact areas, and buffer zones with restricted access and exclusionary areas.

"Unexploded ordnance (UXO" means military munitions that have been primed, fused, armed, or otherwise prepared for action, and have been fired, dropped, launched, projected, or placed in such a manner as to constitute a hazard to operations, installation, personnel, or material and remain unexploded either by malfunction, design, or any other cause.

1. A military munition is not a solid waste when:

(i) Used for its intended purpose, including:

(I) Use in training military personnel or explosives and munitions emergency response specialists (including training in proper destruction of unused propellant or other munitions); or

(II) Use in research, development, testing, and evaluation of military munitions, weapons, or weapon systems; or

(III) Recovery, collection, and on-range destruction of unexploded ordnance and munitions fragments during range clearance activities at active or inactive ranges. However, "use for intended purpos" does not include the on-range disposal or burial of unexploded ordnance and contaminants when the burial is not a result of product use.

(ii) An unused munition, or component thereof, is being repaired, reused, recycled, reclaimed, disassembled, reconfigured, or otherwise subjected to materials recovery activities, unless such activities involve use constituting disposal as defined in Rule 0400-12-01-.02(1)(b) 3(i), or burning for energy recovery as defined in Rule 0400-12-01-.02(1)(b) 3(ii).

2. An unused military munition is a solid waste when any of the following occurs:

(i) The munition is abandoned by being disposed of, burned, detonated (except during intended use as specified in part 1 of this subparagraph), incinerated, or treated prior to disposal; or

(ii) The munition is removed from storage in a military magazine or other storage area for the purpose of being disposed of, burned, or incinerated, or treated prior to disposal; or

(iii) The munition is deteriorated or damaged (e.g., the integrity of the munition is compromised by cracks, leaks, or other damage) to the point that it cannot be put into serviceable condition, and cannot reasonably be recycled or used for other purposes; or

(iv) The munition has been declared a solid waste by an authorized military official.

3. A used or fired military munition is a solid waste:

(i) When transported off range or from the site of use, where the site of use is not a range, for the purposes of storage, reclamation, treatment, disposal, or treatment prior to disposal; or

(ii) If recovered, collected, and then disposed of by burial, or landfilling either on or off a range.

4. For purposes of Tennessee Code Annotated (T.C.A.) § 68-212-104(17), a used or fired military munition is a solid waste, and, therefore, is potentially subject to corrective action authorities under T.C.A. §§ 68-212-108(l), and 68-212-111, or imminent and substantial endangerment authorities under T.C.A. § 68-212-105, T.C.A. § 68-212-111, T.C.A. § 68-212-114, and T.C.A. § 68-212-115, if the munition lands off-range and is not promptly rendered safe and/or retrieved. Any imminent and substantial threats associated with any remaining material must be addressed. If remedial action is infeasible, the operator of the range must maintain a record of the event for as long as any threat remains. The record must include the type of munition and its location (to the extent the location is known).

(d) Standards Applicable to the Transportation of Solid Waste Military Munition [40 CFR 266.203]

1. Criteria for hazardous waste regulation of waste non-chemical military munitions in transportation.

(i) Waste military munitions that are being transported and that exhibit a hazardous waste characteristic or are listed as hazardous waste under Rule 0400-12-01-.02, are listed or identified as a hazardous waste (and thus are subject to regulation under Rule 0400-12-01-.01 through .10), unless all the following conditions are met:
