Except as ss.
NR 664.0340 and 670.019(5) provide otherwise, owners and
operators of facilities that incinerate hazardous waste shall fulfill sub. (1),
(2) or (3).
(1) When seeking an
exemption under s.
NR 664.0340(2) or (3) (ignitable,
corrosive or reactive wastes only), one of the following must be provided:
(a) Documentation that the waste is listed as
a hazardous waste in subch. D of ch. NR 661, solely because it is ignitable
(hazard code I) or corrosive (hazard code C) or both.
(b) Documentation that the waste is listed as
a hazardous waste in subch. D of ch. NR 661, solely because it is reactive
(hazard code R) for characteristics other than those listed in s. NR 661.0023(1) (d) and (e), and will not be burned when other hazardous wastes are
present in the combustion zone.
(c)
Documentation that the waste is a hazardous waste solely because it possesses
the characteristic of ignitability, corrosivity or both, as determined by the
tests for characteristics of hazardous waste under subch. C of ch. NR
661.
(d) Documentation that the
waste is a hazardous waste solely because it possesses the reactivity
characteristics listed in s. NR 661.0023(1) (a), (b), (c), (f), (g) or (h), and
that it will not be burned when other hazardous wastes are present in the
combustion zone.
(2)
Submit a trial burn plan or the results of a trial burn, including all required
determinations, according to s.
NR 670.062.
(3) In lieu of a trial burn, the applicant
may submit all of the following information:
(a) An analysis of each waste or mixture of
wastes to be burned including all of the following:
1. Heat value of the waste in the form and
composition in which it will be burned.
2. Viscosity (if applicable), or description
of physical form of the waste.
3.
An identification of any hazardous organic constituents listed in ch. NR 661
Appendix VIII, which are present in the waste to be burned, except that the
applicant need not analyze for constituents listed in ch. NR 661 Appendix VIII,
which would reasonably not be expected to be found in the waste. Identify the
constituents excluded from analysis and state the basis for their exclusion.
The waste analysis shall rely on appropriate analytical methods.
4. An approximate quantification of the
hazardous constituents identified in the waste, within the precision produced
by appropriate analytical methods.
5. A quantification of those hazardous
constituents in the waste which may be designated as POHC's based on data
submitted from other trial or operational burns which demonstrate compliance
with the performance standards in s.
NR 664.0343.
(b) A detailed engineering description of the
incinerator, including all of the following:
1. Manufacturer's name and model number of
incinerator.
2. Type of
incinerator.
3. Linear dimension of
incinerator unit including cross sectional area of combustion
chamber.
4. Description of
auxiliary fuel system (type/feed).
5. Capacity of prime mover.
6. Description of automatic waste feed cutoff
systems.
7. Stack gas monitoring
and pollution control monitoring system.
8. Nozzle and burner design.
9. Construction materials.
10. Location and description of temperature,
pressure and flow indicating devices and control devices.
(c) A description and analysis of the waste
to be burned compared with the waste for which data from operational or trial
burns are provided to support the contention that a trial burn is not needed.
The data shall include those items listed in par. (a). This analysis shall
specify the POHCs which the applicant has identified in the waste for which a
license is sought, and any differences from the POHCs in the waste for which
burn data are provided.
(d) The
design and operating conditions of the incinerator unit to be used, compared
with that for which comparative burn data are available.
(e) A description of the results submitted
from any previously conducted trial burns including all of the following:
1. Sampling and analysis techniques used to
calculate performance standards in s.
NR 664.0343.
2. Methods and results of monitoring
temperatures, waste feed rates, carbon monoxide and an appropriate indicator of
combustion gas velocity (including a statement concerning the precision and
accuracy of this measurement).
(f) The expected incinerator operation
information to demonstrate compliance with ss.
NR 664.0343
and 664.0345 including all of the following:
1. Expected carbon monoxide (CO) level in the
stack exhaust gas.
2. Waste feed
rate.
3. Combustion zone
temperature.
4. Indication of
combustion gas velocity.
5.
Expected stack gas volume, flow rate and temperature.
6. Computed residence time for waste in the
combustion zone.
7. Expected
hydrochloric acid removal efficiency.
8. Expected fugitive emissions and their
control procedures.
9. Proposed
waste feed cut-off limits based on the identified significant operating
parameters.
(g)
Supplemental information as the department finds necessary to achieve the
purposes of this subsection.
(h)
Waste analysis data, including that submitted in sub. (3) (a), sufficient to
allow the department to specify in the license those principal organic
hazardous constituents (license POHCs) for which destruction and removal
efficiencies will be required.
(4) The department shall approve a license
application without a trial burn if the department finds that all of the
following apply:
(a) The wastes are
sufficiently similar.
(b) The
incinerator units are sufficiently similar, and the data from other trial burns
are adequate to specify (under s.
NR 664.0345) operating conditions that will ensure that
the performance standards in s.
NR 664.0343
will be met by the incinerator.
(5) When an owner or operator of a hazardous
waste incineration unit becomes subject to hazardous waste licensing
requirements after October 12, 2005, or when an owner or operator demonstrates
compliance with the air emission standards and limitations in 40 CFR part 63, subpart EEE (for instance, by conducting a comprehensive performance test and
submitting a notification of compliance under
40 CFR
63.1207(j) and
63.1210(d)
documenting compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart EEE), the requirements of
this section do not apply, except those provisions the department determines
are necessary to ensure compliance with s.
NR 664.0345(1) and
(3) if the owner or operator elects to comply
with s.
NR 670.235(1) (a) 1. to minimize
emissions of toxic compounds from startup, shutdown and malfunction events.
Nevertheless, the department may apply the rules in this section, on a
case-by-case basis, for purposes of information collection according to ss.
NR 670.010(11) and 670.032(2)
(b).
