Current through December 21, 2024
Scope:
This section contains emission limits, compliance times and general requirements for the control of certain designated pollutants from hospital/medical/infectious waste incinerator(s) (HMIWI) in accordance with sections 111 and 129 of the Clean Air Act and 40 CFR Part 60, subpart B. These rules supersede the provisions of 40 CFR Part 60.24(f) of subpart B.
(a) Definitions.
Terms used but not defined in this section have the meaning given them in the Clean Air Act and in 40 CFR Part 60, subparts A, B, and Ec.
"Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area or SMSA" means any areas listed in OMB Bulletin No. 93-17 entitled "Revised Statistical Definitions for Metropolitan Areas" dated June 30, 1993 (incorporated by reference, see 40 CFR Part 60.17).
(b) Applicability.
(c) Emissions Limits.
