Universal Citation: 30 TX Admin Code § 113.2155
Current through Reg. 50, No. 13; March 28, 2025
For municipal waste combustion units that use activated carbon to control dioxins/furans or mercury emissions, you must keep records of five items:
(1) Records of average carbon feed rate. Document five items:
(A)
Average carbon feed rate in kilograms (or pounds) per hour during all stack
tests for dioxins/furans and mercury emissions. Include supporting calculations
in the records.
(B) For the
operating parameter chosen to monitor carbon feed rate, average operating level
during all stack tests for dioxins/furans and mercury emissions. Include
supporting data that document the relationship between the operating parameter
and the carbon feed rate.
(C) All
8-hour block average carbon feed rates in kilograms (or pounds) per hour
calculated from the monitored operating parameter.
(D) Total carbon purchased and delivered to
the municipal waste combustion plant for each calendar quarter. If you choose
to evaluate total carbon purchased and delivered on a municipal waste
combustion unit basis, record the total carbon purchased and delivered for each
individual municipal waste combustion unit at your plant. Include supporting
documentation.
(E) Required
quarterly usage of carbon for the municipal waste combustion plant, calculated
using equation 4 or 5 in §
113.2171(f) of
this title (relating to What equations must I use?). If you choose to evaluate
required quarterly usage for carbon on a municipal waste combustion unit basis,
record the required quarterly usage for each municipal waste combustion unit at
your plant. Include supporting calculations.
(2) Records of low carbon feed rates. Document three items:
(A) The calendar dates
when the average carbon feed rate over an 8-hour block was less than the
average carbon feed rates determined during the most recent stack test for
dioxins/furans or mercury emissions (whichever has a higher feed
rate).
(B) Reasons for the low
carbon feed rates.
(C) Corrective
actions you took or are taking to meet the 8-hour average carbon feed rate
requirement.
(3) Records of minimum carbon feed rate data. Document three items:
(A) Calendar dates for which you did not
collect the minimum amount of carbon feed rate data required under §
113.2149 of this title (relating
to What is the minimum amount of monitoring data I must collect with my
continuous parameter monitoring systems and is the data collection requirement
enforceable?).
(B) Reasons you did
not collect the minimum data.
(C)
Corrective actions you took or are taking to get the required amount of
data.
(4) Records of exclusions. Document each time you have excluded data from your calculation of average carbon feed rates and the reasons the data were excluded.
(5) Records of calendar dates. Include the calendar date on each record.
