(New Rule)

DAR File No.: 40112
Filed: 01/14/2016 02:50:18 PM

RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The Division is renumbering and changing the format of the hazardous waste rules. The change is to help the reader of the rules by providing all of the rules in one place and avoiding incorporation by reference or, when incorporation is necessary, using only one edition of the material incorporated throughout all the hazardous waste rules. In addition, the new rules will include several federal rules that have been adopted at the federal level and need to be adopted by the state to make the Utah rules consistent with federal rule. Rule R315-266 replaces Rule R315-14 and part of Rule R315-50. (DAR NOTE: The proposed repeal of Rule R315-14 is under DAR No. 40128 and the proposed repeal of Rule R315-50 is under DAR No. 40130 in this issue, February 1, 2016, of the Bulletin.)

Summary of the rule or change:

Rule R315-266 replaces Rule R315-14 and part of Rule R315-50. It also adopts changes in federal rules relating to the definition of solid waste, electronic manifests, cathode ray tubes, coal combustion residuals, carbon dioxide exclusion, corrections and clarifications, and burden reduction changes. All of these changes are required to maintain an approved state program or are required by Utah statue.

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

• Section 19-6-105
• Section 19-6-106

This rule or change incorporates by reference the following material:

• Adds 40 CFR Part 266 Appendix IX, published by US Government Printing Office, 07/01/2015
• Adds 40 CFR Part 266 Appendix IV, published by Us Government Printing Office, 07/01/2015
• Adds 40 CFR Part 266 Appendix III, published by US Government Printing Office, 07/01/2015
• Adds 40 CFR Part 266 Appendix I, published by US Government Printing Office, 07/01/2015

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

There will be on cost to the state as the rule is not changed but just renumbered or the changes will be absorbed in the current program.

local governments:

Most of the rule is not changed but just renumbered, therefore, there will be no cost to local government. The rule changes that reflect changes in federal rules are all less stringent than current Utah rule and, therefore, will result in cost savings. The actual cost savings will depend on the hazardous waste activities conducted by local government and cannot be quantified.

small businesses:

Most of the rule is not changed but just renumbered, therefore, there will be no cost to small business. The rule changes that reflect changes in federal rules are all less stringent than current Utah rule and, therefore, will result in cost savings. The actual cost savings will depend on the hazardous waste activities conducted by small business and cannot be quantified.

persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:

Most of the rule is not changed but just renumbered, therefore, there will be no cost to other persons. The rule changes that reflect changes in federal rules are all less stringent than current Utah rule and, therefore, will result in cost savings. The actual cost savings will depend on the hazardous waste activities conducted by other persons and cannot be quantified.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

The rule's changes will have no cost to affected persons. The changes may result in cost savings, depending on the hazardous waste management activities conducted, but the cost savings cannot be quantified.

Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

The rule's changes will have no cost to business. The changes may result in cost savings, depending on the hazardous waste management activities conducted at a business, but cannot be quantified.

(3) If you own or operate a boiler or hydrochloric acid production furnace that is an area source under 40 CFR 63.2 and you elect not to comply with the emission standards under 40 CFR 63.1216, 63.1217, and 63.1218 for particulate matter, semivolatile and low volatile metals, and total chlorine, you also remain subject to:

(i) Section R315-266-105-Standards to control particulate matter;

(ii) Section R315-266-106-Standards to control metals emissions, except for mercury; and

(iii) Section R315-266-107-Standards to control hydrogen chloride and chlorine gas.

(4) The particulate matter standard of Section R315-266-105 remains in effect for boilers that elect to comply with the alternative to the particulate matter standard under 40 CFR 63.1216(e) and 63.1217(e).

(c) The following hazardous wastes and facilities are not subject to regulation under Sections R315-266-100 through 112:

(1) Used oil burned for energy recovery that is also a hazardous waste solely because it exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste identified in Sections R315-261-20 through 24. Such used oil is subject to regulation under Rule R315-15;

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

(2) 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 Rule R315-261, appendix VIII, 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 shall be retained in the records required by Subsection R315-266-100(d)(1)(iii); 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 shall be retained in the records required by Subsection R315-266-100(d)(1)(iii).

(3) To be exempt from Sections R315-266-102 through 111, 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, shall provide a one-time written notice to the Director identifying each hazardous waste burned and specifying whether the owner or operator claims an exemption for each waste under Subsection R315-266-100(d)(3) or Subsection R315-266-100(d)(1). The owners or operator shall comply with the requirements of Subsection R315-266-100(d)(1) for those wastes claimed to be exempt under Subsection R315-266-100(d)(1) and shall comply with the requirements below for those wastes claimed to be exempt under Subsection R315-266-100(d)(3).

(i) The hazardous wastes listed in appendices XI, XII, and XIII, of Rule R315-266, and baghouse bags used to capture metallic dusts emitted by steel manufacturing are exempt from the requirements of Subsection R315-266-100(d)(1), provided that:

(A) A waste listed in appendix XI of Rule R315-266 shall contain recoverable levels of lead, a waste listed in appendix XII of Rule R315-266 shall contain recoverable levels of nickel or chromium, a waste listed in appendix XIII of Rule R315-266 shall contain recoverable levels of mercury and contain less than 500 ppm of Rule R315-261, appendix VIII organic constituents, and baghouse bags used to capture metallic dusts emitted by steel manufacturing shall contain recoverable levels of metal; and

(B) The waste does not exhibit the Toxicity Characteristic of Section R315-261-24 for an organic constituent; and

Sampling and analysis shall be conducted according to Subsection R315-266-100(d)(1)(ii) and records to document compliance with Subsection R315-266-100(d)(3) shall be kept for at least three years.

(ii) The Director may decide on a case-by-case basis that the toxic organic constituents in a material listed in appendix XI, XII, or XIII of Rule R315-266 that contains a total concentration of more than 500 ppm toxic organic compounds listed in appendix VIII, of Rule R315-261, may pose a hazard to human health and the environment when burned in a metal recovery furnace exempt from the requirements of Sections R315-266-100 through 112. In that situation, after adequate notice and opportunity for comment, the metal recovery furnace shall become subject to the requirements of Sections R315-266-100 through 112 when burning that material. In making the hazard determination, the Director shall consider the following factors:

(A) The concentration and toxicity of organic constituents in the material; and

(B) The level of destruction of toxic organic constituents provided by the furnace; and

(C) Whether the acceptable ambient levels established in appendices IV or V of Rule R315-266 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.

(e) The standards for direct transfer operations under Section R315-266-111 apply only to facilities subject to the permit standards of Section R315-266-102 or the interim status standards of Section R315-266-103.

(A) 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

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

(I) 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.

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

(III) 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 Subsection R315-266-102(e)(6)(i) or on, up to, a 24 hour rolling average basis.

The Director 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 Subsection R315-266-106(f) need not reach steady state conditions with respect to the flow of metals in the system prior to beginning compliance testing for metals emissions.

(C) Trial burn data on the level of an operating parameter for which a limit shall be established in the permit shall be obtained during emissions sampling for the pollutant(s), i.e., metals, PM, HCl/Cl ₂, organic compounds, for which the parameter shall be established as specified by Subsection R315-266-102(e).

(7) General requirements

(iii) Changes. A boiler or industrial furnace shall 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.

(8) Monitoring and Inspections.

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

(A) 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) 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., shall 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 shall be tested at least once every 7 days when hazardous waste is burned to verify operability, unless the applicant demonstrates to the Director that weekly inspections will unduly restrict or upset operations and that less frequent inspections will be adequate. At a minimum, operational testing shall be conducted at least once every 30 days.

(v) These monitoring and inspection data shall be recorded and the records shall be placed in the operating record required by Section R315-264-73.

(9) 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 shall comply with Section R315-266-111.

(i) Controls.

(A) The hazardous waste shall be fed at a location where combustion gas temperatures are at least 1800 deg. F;

(B) The owner or operator shall 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;

(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:

(A) The hazardous waste has a total concentration of nonmetal compounds listed in Rule R315-261, appendix VIII, 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 shall be retained in the facility record; or

(B) 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 shall be retained in the facility record.

(6) Restrictions on burning hazardous waste that is not a fuel. Prior to certification of compliance under Subsection R315-266-103(c), 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 shall 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 Director has documentation to show that, prior to August 21, 1991:

(A) The boiler or industrial furnace is operating under the interim status standards for incinerators provided by 40 CFR 265.340 through 352, which are adopted by reference, or the interim status standards for thermal treatment units provided by 40 CFR 265.370 through 383, which are adopted by reference; and

(B) The boiler or industrial furnace met the interim status eligibility requirements under Section R315-270-70 for 40 CFR 265.340 through 383, which are adopted by reference; and

(C) 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 Section R315-261-2(e) prior to February 21, 1991 and documentation is kept on file supporting this claim.

(7) 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 shall comply with Section R315-266-111.

Compliance testing shall be conducted under conditions for which the owner or operator has submitted a certification of precompliance under Subsection R315-266-103(b) and under conditions established in the notification of compliance testing required by Subsection R315-266-103(c)(2). The owner or operator may seek approval on a case-by-case basis to use compliance test data from one unit in lieu of testing a similar onsite unit. To support the request, the owner or operator shall provide a comparison of the hazardous waste burned and other feedstreams, and the design, operation, and maintenance of both the tested unit and the similar unit. The Director shall provide a written approval to use compliance test data in lieu of testing a similar unit if he finds that the hazardous wastes, the devices, and the operating conditions are sufficiently similar, and the data from the other compliance test is adequate to meet the requirements of Subsection R315-266-103(c).

(ii) Special requirements for industrial furnaces that recycle collected PM. Owners and operators of industrial furnaces that recycle back into the furnace particulate matter (PM) from the air pollution control system shall comply with one of the following procedures for testing to determine compliance with the metals standards of Subsections R315-266-106(c) or (d):

(A) The special testing requirements prescribed in "Alternative Method for Implementing Metals Controls" in appendix IX of Rule R315-266; or

(B) Stack emissions testing for a minimum of 6 hours each day while hazardous waste is burned during interim status. The testing shall 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 shall 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 Subsections R315-266-106(c) or (d). Under this option, operating limits, under Subsection R315-266-103(c)(1), shall be established during compliance testing under Subsection R315-266-103(c)(3) only on the following parameters;

(I) Feed rate of total hazardous waste;

(II) Total feed rate of chlorine and chloride in total feed streams;

(III) Total feed rate of ash in total feed streams, except that the ash feed rate for cement kilns and light-weight aggregate kilns is not limited;

(IV) Carbon monoxide concentration, and where required, hydrocarbon concentration in stack gas;

(V) Maximum production rate of the device in appropriate units when producing normal product; or

(C) Conduct compliance testing to determine compliance with the metals standards to establish limits on the operating parameters of Subsection R315-266-103(c)(1) only after the kiln system has been conditioned to enable it to reach equilibrium with respect to metals fed into the system and metals emissions. During conditioning, hazardous waste and raw materials having the same metals content as will be fed during the compliance test shall be fed at the feed rates that will be fed during the compliance test.

(iii) Conduct of compliance testing.

(A) If compliance with all applicable emissions standards of Sections R315-266-104 through 107 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 shall be as close as possible to the original operating conditions.

(B) Prior to obtaining test data for purposes of demonstrating compliance with the applicable emissions standards of Sections R315-266-104 through 107 or establishing limits on operating parameters under Section R315-266-103, the facility shall 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 Subsections R315-266-103(c)(3)(ii)(A) or (B), however, need not reach steady state conditions with respect to the flow of metals in the system prior to beginning compliance testing for metals.

(C) Compliance test data on the level of an operating parameter for which a limit shall be established in the certification of compliance shall be obtained during emissions sampling for the pollutant(s), i.e., metals, PM, HCl/Cl2, organic compounds, for which the parameter shall be established as specified by Subsection R315-266-103(c)(1).

(4) Certification of compliance. Within 90 days of completing compliance testing, the owner or operator shall certify to the Director compliance with the emissions standards of Subsections R315-266-104 (b), (c), and (e), and Sections R315-266-105, 106, and 107, and Subsection R315-266-103(a)(5)(i)(D).

(ii) The rolling average for the selected averaging period is defined as 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 preceding clock hour; and

(III) The operating limit for the feed rate of each metal shall be established based on compliance test data as the average over all test runs of the highest hourly rolling average feed rate for each run.

(D) 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 shall be monitored under the continuous monitoring requirements of Subsections R315-266-103(c)(4)(iv)(A) through (C).

In addition:

(1) To minimize emissions of organic compounds, the minimum combustion chamber temperature, or the indicator of combustion chamber temperature, that occurred during the compliance test shall 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

(2) Operating parameters limited by the certification of compliance shall 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.

(h) Fugitive emissions. Fugitive emissions shall be controlled by:

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

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

(3) 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.

(i) Changes. A boiler or industrial furnace shall 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 specified in the certification of compliance.

(j) Monitoring and Inspections.

(1) The owner or operator shall 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 shall be installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with methods specified in appendix IX of Rule R315-266.

(iii) Upon the request of the Director, sampling and analysis of the hazardous waste, and other fuels and industrial furnace feed stocks as appropriate, and the stack gas emissions shall be conducted to verify that the operating conditions established in the certification of precompliance or certification of compliance achieve the applicable standards of Sections R315-266-104 through 107.

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

(3) The automatic hazardous waste feed cutoff system and associated alarms shall 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 shall be conducted at least once every 30 days.

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

(k) Recordkeeping. The owner or operator shall keep in the operating record of the facility all information and data required by Section R315-266-103 for five years.

(l) Closure. At closure, the owner or operator shall 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 and shall comply with 40 CFR 265.111 through 115, which are adopted by reference.

 

R315-266-104. Hazardous Waste Burned in Boilers and Industrial Furnaces -- Standards to Control Organic Emissions.

(a) DRE standard

(1) General. Except as provided in Subsection R315-266-104(a)(3), a boiler or industrial furnace burning hazardous waste shall 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 shall be demonstrated during a trial burn for each principal organic hazardous constituent (POHC) designated, under Subsection R315-266-104(a)(2), in its permit for each waste feed. DRE is determined for each POHC from the following equation:

DRE = (1-W _out/W _in)X100

where:

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

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

(2) Designation of POHCs. Principal organic hazardous constituents (POHCs) are those compounds for which compliance with the DRE requirements of Section R315-266-104 shall be demonstrated in a trial burn in conformance with procedures prescribed in Section R315-270-66. One or more POHCs shall be designated by the Director 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 Rule R315-261, appendix VIII that are also present in the normal waste feed. However, if the applicant demonstrates to the Director's satisfaction that a compound not listed in Rule R315-261, appendix VIII or not present in the normal waste feed is a suitable indicator of compliance with the DRE requirements of Section R315-266-104, that compound may be designated as a POHC. Such POHCs need not be toxic or organic compounds.

(3) Dioxin-listed waste. A boiler or industrial furnace burning hazardous waste containing, or derived from, EPA Hazardous Wastes Nos. F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, or F027 shall achieve a destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of 99.9999% for each POHC designated, under Subsection R315-266-104(a)(2), in its permit. This performance shall 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 Subsection R315-266-104(a)(1). In addition, the owner or operator of the boiler or industrial furnace shall notify the Director of intent to burn EPA Hazardous Waste Nos. F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, or F027.

(4) Automatic waiver of DRE trial burn. Owners and operators of boilers operated under the special operating requirements provided by Section R315-266-110 are considered to be in compliance with the DRE standard of Subsection R315-266-104(a)(1) and are exempt from the DRE trial burn.

(5) Low risk waste. Owners and operators of boilers or industrial furnaces that burn hazardous waste in compliance with the requirements of Subsection R315-266-109(a) are considered to be in compliance with the DRE standard of Subsection R315-266-104(a)(1) and are exempt from the DRE trial burn.

(b) Carbon monoxide standard.

(1) Except as provided in Subsection R315-266-104(c), 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.

(2) 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 Waste" in appendix IX of Rule R315-266.

(3) Compliance with the 100 ppmv CO limit shall 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 shall not exceed 100 ppmv.

(c) Alternative carbon monoxide standard.

(1) 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 Subsection R315-266-104(f) for certain industrial furnaces.

(2) HC limits shall be established under Section R315-266-104 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.

(3) HC shall be continuously monitored in conformance with "Performance Specifications for Continuous Emission Monitoring of Hydrocarbons for Incinerators, Boilers, and Industrial Furnaces Burning Hazardous Waste" in appendix IX of Rule R315-266. CO and oxygen shall be continuously monitored in conformance with Subsection R315-266-104(b)(2).

(4) 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.

(d) Special requirements for furnaces. Owners and operators of industrial furnaces, e.g., kilns or cupolas, that feed hazardous waste for a purpose other than solely as an ingredient, see Section R315-266-103(a)(5)(ii), at any location other than the end where products are normally discharged and where fuels are normally fired shall comply with the hydrocarbon limits provided by Subsections R315-266-104(c) or (f) irrespective of whether stack gas CO concentrations meet the 100 ppmv limit of Subsection R315-266-104(b).

(e) 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 Subsection R315-266-104(f) shall 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:

(1) 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 incorporated by reference in Section R315-260-11.

(2) 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 Congeners" in appendix IX of Rule R315-266. 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;

(3) Conduct dispersion modeling using methods recommended in appendix W of 40 CFR 51 ("Guideline on Air Quality Models (Revised)" (1986) and its supplements), the "Hazardous Waste Combustion Air Quality Screening Procedure", provided in appendix IX of Rule R315-266, or in Screening Procedures for Estimating the Air Quality Impact of Stationary Sources, Revised, incorporated by reference in R315-260-11, to predict the maximum annual average off-site ground level concentration of 2,3,7,8-TCDD equivalents determined under Subsection R315-266-104(e)(2). The maximum annual average concentration shall be used when a person resides on-site; and

(4) 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 Rule R315-266, 2.2×10−7, shall not exceed 1.0.

(f) 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 Subsections R315-266-104(b), (c), and (d) by monitoring in the by-pass duct provided that:

(1) 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

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

(g) Use of emissions test data to demonstrate compliance and establish operating limits. Compliance with the requirements of Section R315-266-104 shall 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 Section R315-266-104 or to establish alternative CO or HC limits under Section R315-266-104 shall be obtained during the time that DRE testing, and where applicable, CDD/CDF testing under Subsection R315-266-104(e) and comprehensive organic emissions testing under Subsection R315-266-104(f) is conducted.

(h) Enforcement. For the purposes of permit enforcement, compliance with the operating requirements specified in the permit, under Section R315-266-102, shall be regarded as compliance with Section R315-266-104. However, evidence that compliance with those permit conditions is insufficient to ensure compliance with the requirements of Section R315-266-104 may be "information" justifying modification or revocation and re-issuance of a permit under Section R315-270-41.

 

R315-266-105. Hazardous Waste Burned in Boilers and Industrial Furnaces -- Standards to Control Particulate Matter.

(a) 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 Rule R315-266.

(b) An owner or operator meeting the requirements of Subsection Rule R315-266-109(b) for the low risk waste exemption is exempt from the particulate matter standard.

(c) Oxygen correction.

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

P _c = P _mx14/(E-Y)

Where:

P _c is the corrected concentration of the pollutant in the stack gas, P _m 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.

(2) 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.

(3) Compliance with all emission standards provided by Sections R315-266-100 through 112 shall be based on correcting to 7 percent oxygen using this procedure.

(d) For the purposes of permit enforcement, compliance with the operating requirements specified in the permit, under Section R315-266-102, shall be regarded as compliance with Section R315-266-105. However, evidence that compliance with those permit conditions is insufficient to ensure compliance with the requirements of Section R315-266-105 may be "information" justifying modification or revocation and re-issuance of a permit under Section R315-270-41.

 

R315-266-106. Hazardous Waste Burned in Boilers and Industrial Furnaces -- Standards to Control Metals Emissions.

(a) General. The owner or operator shall comply with the metals standards provided by Subsections R315-266-106(b), (c), (d), (e), or (f) for each metal listed in Subsection R315-266-106(b) that is present in the hazardous waste at detectable levels by using appropriate analytical procedures.

(b) Tier I feed rate screening limits. Feed rate screening limits for metals are specified in appendix I of Rule R315-266 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 Subsection R315-266-106(b)(7).

(1) 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 Rule R315-266.

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

(A) An hourly rolling average as defined in Subsection R315-266-102(e)(6)(i)(B); or

(B) 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:

(A) An hourly rolling average as defined in Subsection R315-266-102(e)(6)(i)(B);

(B) An averaging period of 2 to 24 hours as defined in Subsection R315-266-102(e)(6)(ii) 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

(C) An instantaneous limit not to be exceeded at any time.

(2) 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 Rule R315-266. 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:

The summation of AFR _(i)/FRSL _(i) for i = 1 to n is less than or equal to 1.0

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 Rule R315-266 for metal "i".

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

(A) An hourly rolling average; or

(B) An averaging period of 2 to 24 hours as defined in Subsection R315-266-102(e)(6)(ii) with an instantaneous feed rate limit not to exceed 10 times the feed rate that would be allowed on an hourly rolling average basis.

(3) TESH.

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

TESH = Ha+H1−Tr

where:

Ha = Actual physical stack height

H1 = Plume rise as determined from appendix VI of Rule R315-266 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 (Ha) 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.

(4) 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 (Ha) 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.

(5) 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 appendices IX or X of Rule R315-266 shall be used.

(6) 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 a RCRA operating permit or interim status controls shall 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 (deg. K).

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

(7) 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 shall comply with either the Tier III standards provided by Subsection R315-266-106(d) or with the adjusted Tier I feed rate screening limits provided by Subsection R315-266-106(e).

(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 Director determines that standards based on site-specific dispersion modeling are required.

(8) Implementation. The feed rate of metals in each feedstream shall be monitored to ensure that the feed rate screening limits are not exceeded.

(c) 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 Subsection R315-266-106(b)(7).

(1) Noncarcinogenic metals. The emission rates of antimony, barium, lead, mercury, thallium, and silver shall not exceed the screening limits specified in appendix I of Rule R315-266.

(2) 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 Rule R315-266. 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:

The summation of AER _(i)/ERSL _(i) for i = 1 to n is less than or equal to 1.0

where:

n = number of carcinogenic metals

AER = actual emission rate for metal "i"

ERSL = emission rate screening limit provided by appendix I of Rule R315-266 for metal "i".

(3) Implementation. The emission rate limits shall 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 Subsections R315-266-106(b)(1)(i) and (ii) and (b)(2)(ii). The feed rate of metals in each feedstream shall be monitored to ensure that the feed rate limits for the feedstreams specified under Sections R315-266-102 or 103 are not exceeded.

(4) Definitions and limitations. The definitions and limitations provided by Subsection R315-266-106(b) for the following terms also apply to the Tier II emission rate screening limits provided by Subsection R315-266-106(c): 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.

(5) 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 RCRA operating permit or interim status controls shall 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 Subsection R315-266-106(b)(6).

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

(d) Tier III and Adjusted Tier I site-specific risk assessment. The requirements of Subsection R315-266-106(d) apply to facilities complying with either the Tier III or Adjusted Tier I controls, except where specified otherwise.

(1) General. Conformance with the Tier III metals controls shall 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 shall 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.

(2) Acceptable ambient levels. Appendices IV and V of Rule R315-266 list the acceptable ambient levels for purposes of Rule R315-266. 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 Subsection R315-266-106(d)(3).

(3) 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 shall 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:

The summation of Predicted Ambient Concentration _(i)/Risk-Specific Dose _(i) for i = 1 to n is less than or equal to 1.0

where: n = number of carcinogenic metals

(4) 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).

(5) 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 RCRA operating permit or interim status controls shall 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.

(6) Implementation. Under Tier III, the metals controls shall 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 Subsections R315-266-106(b)(1)(i) and (ii) and (b)(2)(ii). The feed rate of metals in each feedstream shall be monitored to ensure that the feed rate limits for the feedstreams specified under Sections R315-266-102 or 103 are not exceeded.

(e) Adjusted Tier I feed rate screening limits. The owner or operator may adjust the feed rate screening limits provided by appendix I of Rule R315-266 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 Rule R315-266 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 Subsection R315-266-106(b)(2).

(f) Alternative implementation approaches.

(1) The Director may approve on a case-by-case basis approaches to implement the Tier II or Tier III metals emission limits provided by Subsections R315-266-106(c) or (d) alternative to monitoring the feed rate of metals in each feedstream.

(2) The emission limits provided by Subsection R315-266-106(d) shall be determined as follows:

(i) For each noncarcinogenic metal, by back-calculating from the RAC provided in appendix IV of Rule R315-266 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 Subsection R315-266-106(h); and

(ii) For each carcinogenic metal by:

(A) Back-calculating from the RSD provided in appendix V of Rule R315-266 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 Subsection R315-266-106(h); and

(B) If more than one carcinogenic metal is emitted, selecting an emission limit for each carcinogenic metal not to exceed the emission rate determined by Subsection R315-266-106(f)(2)(ii)(A) such that the sum for all carcinogenic metals of the ratios of the selected emission limit to the emission rate determined by Subsection R315-266-106(f)(2)(ii)(A) does not exceed 1.0.

(g) Emission testing

(1) General. Emission testing for metals shall be conducted using Method 0060, Determinations of Metals in Stack Emissions, EPA Publication SW-846, as incorporated by reference in Section R315-260-11.

(2) 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, as incorporated by reference in Section R315-260-11.

(h) Dispersion Modeling. Dispersion modeling required under Section R315-266-106 shall be conducted according to methods recommended in appendix W of 40 CFR 51, "Guideline on Air Quality Models (Revised)" (1986) and its supplements, the "Hazardous Waste Combustion Air Quality Screening Procedure", provided in appendix IX of Rule R315-266, or in Screening Procedures for Estimating the Air Quality Impact of Stationary Sources, Revised, incorporated by reference in Section R315-260-11, to predict the maximum annual average off-site ground level concentration. However, on-site concentrations shall be considered when a person resides on-site.

(i) Enforcement. For the purposes of permit enforcement, compliance with the operating requirements specified in the permit, under Section R315-266-102, shall be regarded as compliance with Section R315-266-106. However, evidence that compliance with those permit conditions is insufficient to ensure compliance with the requirements of Section R315-266-106 may be "information" justifying modification or revocation and re-issuance of a permit under Section R315-270-41.

 

R315-266-107. Hazardous Waste Burned in Boilers and Industrial Furnaces -- Standards to Control Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) and Chlorine Gas (Cl ₂ ) Emissions.

(a) General. The owner or operator shall comply with the hydrogen chloride (HCl) and chlorine (Cl ₂) controls provided by Subsection R315-266-107(b), (c), or (e).

(b) Screening limits

(1) Tier I feed rate screening limits. Feed rate screening limits are specified for total chlorine in appendix II of Rule R315-266 as a function of terrain-adjusted effective stack height and terrain and land use in the vicinity of the facility.

(4) 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 Cl ₂ emissions under a RCRA operating permit or interim status controls shall 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 Subsection R315-266-106(b)(6).

(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 Cl ₂ from all subject stacks shall not exceed the screening limit for the worst-case stack.

(c) Tier III site-specific risk assessments

(1) General. Conformance with the Tier III controls shall be demonstrated by emissions testing to determine the emission rate for HCl and Cl ₂, 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.

(2) Acceptable ambient levels. Appendix IV of Rule R315-266 lists the reference air concentrations (RACs) for HCl, 7 micrograms per cubic meter, and Cl ₂, 0.4 micrograms per cubic meter.

(3) 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 Cl ₂ emissions under a RCRA operating permit or interim status controls shall 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 Cl ₂.

(d) Averaging periods. The HCl and Cl ₂ 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:

(1) An hourly rolling average as defined in Section R315-266-102(e)(6); or

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

(e) Adjusted Tier I feed rate screening limits. The owner or operator may adjust the feed rate screening limit provided by appendix II of Rule R315-266 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 Cl ₂ provided by appendix IV of Rule R315-266 using dispersion modeling to determine the maximum allowable emission rate. This emission rate becomes the adjusted Tier I feed rate screening limit.

(f) Emissions testing. Emissions testing for HCl and Cl ₂ shall be conducted using the procedures described in Methods 0050 or 0051, EPA Publication SW-846, as incorporated by reference in Section R315-260-11.

R315-266-109. Hazardous Waste Burned in Boilers and Industrial Furnaces -- Low Risk Waste Exemption.

(a) Waiver of DRE standard. The DRE standard of Subsection R315-266-104(a) does not apply if the boiler or industrial furnace is operated in conformance with Subsection R315-266-109(a)(1) and the owner or operator demonstrates by procedures prescribed in Subsection R315-266-109(a)(2) that the burning will not result in unacceptable adverse health effects.

(1) The device shall be operated as follows:

(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 Director on a case-by-case basis, other nonhazardous fuel with combustion characteristics comparable to fossil fuel. Such fuels are termed "primary fuel" for purposes of Section R315-266-109. 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) Procedures to demonstrate that the hazardous waste burning will not pose unacceptable adverse public health effects are as follows:

(i) Identify and quantify those nonmetal compounds listed in appendix VIII, Rule R315-261 that could reasonably be expected to be present in the hazardous waste. The constituents excluded from analysis shall be identified and the basis for their exclusion explained;

(ii) Calculate reasonable, worst case emission rates for each constituent identified in Subsection R315-266-109(a)(2)(i) by assuming the device achieves 99.9 percent destruction and removal efficiency. That is, assume that 0.1 percent of the mass weight of each constituent fed to the device is emitted.

(iii) For each constituent identified in Subsection R315-266-109(a)(2)(i), use emissions dispersion modeling to predict the maximum annual average ground level concentration of the constituent.

(A) Dispersion modeling shall be conducted using methods specified in Subsection R315-266-106(h).

(B) Owners and operators of facilities with more than one on-site stack from a boiler or industrial furnace that is exempt under Section R315-266-109 shall conduct dispersion modeling of emissions from all stacks exempt under Section R315-266-109 to predict ambient levels prescribed by Subsection R315-266-109(a).

(iv) Ground level concentrations of constituents predicted under Subsection R315-266-109(a)(2)(iii) shall not exceed the following levels:

(A) For the noncarcinogenic compounds listed in appendix IV of Rule R315-266, the levels established in appendix IV;

(B) For the carcinogenic compounds listed in appendix V of Rule R315-266, the sum for all constituents of the ratios of the actual ground level concentration to the level established in appendix V cannot exceed 1.0; and

(C) For constituents not listed in appendix IV or V, 0.1 micrograms per cubic meter.

(b) Waiver of particulate matter standard. The particulate matter standard of Section R315-266-105 does not apply if:

(1) The DRE standard is waived under Subsection R315-266-109(a); and

(2) The owner or operator complies with the Tier I or adjusted Tier I metals feed rate screening limits provided by Subsections R315-266-106(b) or (e).

 

R315-266-110. Hazardous Waste Burned in Boilers and Industrial Furnaces -- Waiver of DRE Trial Burn for Boilers.

Boilers that operate under the special requirements of Section R315-266-110, and that do not burn hazardous waste containing, or waste derived from, EPA Hazardous Waste Nos. F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, or F027, are considered to be in conformance with the DRE standard of Subsection R315-266-104(a), and a trial burn to demonstrate DRE is waived. When burning hazardous waste:

(a) 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 Director on a case-by-case basis, other nonhazardous fuel with combustion characteristics comparable to fossil fuel. Such fuels are termed "primary fuel" for purposes of Section R315-266-110. 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;

(b) 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;

(c) 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 shall have a heating value of at least 8,000 Btu/lb, as-fired;

(d) The device shall operate in conformance with the carbon monoxide standard provided by Subsection R315-266-104(b)(1). Boilers subject to the waiver of the DRE trial burn provided by Section R315-266-110 are not eligible for the alternative carbon monoxide standard provided by Subsection R315-266-104(c);

(e) The boiler shall be a watertube type boiler that does not feed fuel using a stoker or stoker type mechanism; and

(f) The hazardous waste shall be fired directly into the primary fuel flame zone of the combustion chamber with an air or steam atomization firing system, mechanical atomization system, or a rotary cup atomization system under the following conditions:

(1) Viscosity. The viscosity of the hazardous waste fuel as-fired shall not exceed 300 SSU;

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

(3) 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;

(4) Rotary cup atomization systems. Fuel flow rate through a rotary cup atomization system shall be maintained within the design range taking into account the viscosity and volatility of the fuel.

R315-266-112. Hazardous Waste Burned in Boilers and Industrial Furnaces -- Regulation of Residues.

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 Subsections R315-261-4(b)(4), (7), or (8) unless the device and the owner or operator meet the following requirements:

(a) The device meets the following criteria:

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

(2) Ore or mineral furnaces. Industrial furnaces subject to Subsection R315-261-4(b)(7) shall process at least 50% by weight normal, nonhazardous raw materials;

(3) Cement kilns. Cement kilns shall process at least 50% by weight normal cement-production raw materials;

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

(1) Comparison of waste-derived residue with normal residue. The waste-derived residue shall not contain appendix VIII, Rule R315-261 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 Rule R315-266 that may be generated as products of incomplete combustion. For polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzo-furans, analyses shall 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 appendix IX of Rule R315-266.

(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 shall be revised or statistically-derived concentrations of toxic constituents in normal residue shall 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 Determinations" in appendix IX of Rule R315-266.

(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 Subsection R315-266-112(b)(1)(i). 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

(2) Comparison of waste-derived residue concentrations with health-based limits

(i) Nonmetal constituents: The concentration of each nonmetal toxic constituent of concern, specified in Subsection R315-266-112(b)(1), in the waste-derived residue shall not exceed the health-based level specified in appendix VII of Rule R315-266, 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 Rule R315-266, then a limit of 0.002 micrograms per kilogram or the level of detection, which shall be determined by using appropriate analytical procedures, whichever is higher, shall be used. The levels specified in appendix VII of Rule R315-266, 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 Rule R315-266, are administratively stayed under the condition, for those constituents specified in Subsection R315-266-112(b)(1), that the owner or operator complies with alternative levels defined as the land disposal restriction limits specified in Section R315-268-43 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 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 Section R315-268-43 for F039 nonwastewaters. In complying with the Section R315-268-43 F039 nonwastewater levels for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzo-furans, analyses shall be performed for total hexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins, total hexachlorodibenzofurans, total pentachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins, total pentachlorodibenzofurans, total tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins, and total tetrachlorodibenzofurans.

Note to Subsection R315-266-112(b)(2)(i): The administrative stay, under the condition that the owner or operator complies with alternative levels defined as the land disposal restriction limits specified in Section R315-268-43 for F039 nonwastewaters, remains in effect until further administrative action is taken and notice is published.

(ii) Metal constituents. The concentration of metals in an extract obtained using the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure of Section R315-261-24 shall not exceed the levels specified in appendix VII of Rule R315-266; 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

(c) Records sufficient to document compliance with the provisions of Section R315-266-112 shall be retained until closure of the boiler or industrial furnace unit. At a minimum, the following shall be recorded.

(1) Levels of constituents in appendix VIII, Rule R315-261, that are present in waste-derived residues;

(2) If the waste-derived residue is compared with normal residue under Subsection R315-266-112(b)(1):

(i) The levels of constituents in appendix VIII, Rule R315-261, 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.

 

R315-266-202. Military Munitions -- Definition of Solid Waste.

(a) Reserved.

(b) Reserved.

(c) Reserved.

(d) For purposes of Subsection 19-6-102(19)(a), a used or fired military munition is a solid waste, and, therefore, is potentially subject to RCRA corrective action authorities under sections 3004(u) and (v), and 3008(h), or imminent and substantial endangerment authorities under section 7003, 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 shall be addressed. If remedial action is infeasible, the operator of the range shall maintain a record of the event for as long as any threat remains. The record shall include the type of munition and its location, to the extent the location is known.
