                   TITLE 40--PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT
 
         CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED)
 
PART 264_STANDARDS FOR OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT, 
STORAGE, AND DISPOSAL FACILITIES--Table of Contents
 
                         Subpart O_Incinerators
 
Sec. 264.342  Principal organic hazardous constituents (POHCs).

    (a) Principal Organic Hazardous Constituents (POHCs) in the waste 
feed must be treated to the extent required by the performance standard 
of Sec. 264.343.
    (b)(1) One or more POHCs will be specified in the facility's permit, 
from among those constituents listed in part 261, appendix VIII of this 
chapter, for each waste feed to be burned. This specification will be 
based on the degree of difficulty of incineration of the organic 
constituents in the waste and on their concentration or mass in the 
waste feed, considering the results of waste analyses and trial burns or 
alternative data submitted with part B of the facility's permit 
application. Organic constituents which represent the greatest degree of 
difficulty of incineration will be those most likely to be designated as 
POHCs. Constituents are more likely to be designated as POHCs if they 
are present in large quantities or concentrations in the waste.
    (2) Trial POHCs will be designated for performance of trial burns in 
accordance with the procedure specified in Sec. 270.62 of this chapter 
for obtaining trial burn permits.
