--Adequate public comment
--Implementation flexibility
--Allocation of grants
--And many other technical issues
We addressed the issues raised by these four representatives to the
fullest extent possible in today's rule. The comments received from
these representatives are included in the rulemaking docket, together
with all other comments received. We highlighted and addressed some of
these comments in today's preamble. We responded to all comments in the
Response to Comments document, which has been made available to the
Office of Management and Budget and is available in the docket for
today's rule.
Part Nine: Technical Amendments to Previous Regulations
I. Changes to the June 19, 1998 ``Fast-Track'' Rule
A. Permit Streamlining Section
Today's regulations correct a typographical error to Sec. 270.42
Appendix I entry L(9) promulgated in the Fast-track rule. Entry L(9)
incorrectly cited Sec. 270.42(i), whereas today's regulations correctly
amends entry L(9) to cite Sec. 270.42(j).
B. Comparable Fuels Section
In the June 19th rule, we explained that our methodology for
identifying the comparable fuels specifications was to select the
highest benchmark fuel value in our data base for each constituent (see
63 FR at 33786). However, the results reported in the final rule--Table
1 to Sec. 261.38--do not consistently follow our methodology. In
several instances, the highest value was not presented in the table, as
pointed out by commenters to the final rule. Therefore, in today's
rule, we are amending the comparable fuels portion of the Fast-track
rule to make necessary conforming changes to the comparable fuels
specifications as listed in Table 1 of Sec. 261.38--Detection and
Detection Limit Values for Comparable Fuel Specifications. Please see
the USEPA, ``Final Technical Support Document for HWC MACT Standards,
Volume 4'' July 1999, for a detailed discussion of the changes to Table
1.
In addition, because these are technical corrections (i.e.
corrections where we made arithmetic or other inadvertent mistakes in
applying our stated methodology for calculating the comparative fuel
levels) we find that giving notice and opportunity for public comment
is unnecessary within the meaning of 5 U.S.C. 553 (b) (B). In fact, the
errors were brought to our attention by an entity that applied the
stated methodology and derived the correct values which we are
restoring in this amendment. (We did, however, provide actual notice of
these intended corrections to entities we believed most interested in
the issue, so that these entities did have an opportunity for comment
to us.) For the same reasons, we find that there is good cause for the
rule to take effect immediately, rather than wait 30 days. See 5 U.S.C.
553 (d) (3). Finally, since notice and comment is unnecessary, this
correction is not a ``rule'' for purposes of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (see 5 U.S.C. 601 (2)), and may take effect immediately before
submission to Congress for review (see 5 U.S.C. 808 (2)).

Method 5I--Determination of Low Level Particulate Matter Emissions From
Stationary Sources
Note: This method does not include all of the specifications
(e.g., equipment and supplies) and procedures (e.g., sampling and
analytical) essential to its performance. Certain information is
contained in other EPA procedures found in this part. Therefore, to
obtain reliable results, persons using this method should have
experience with and a thorough knowledge of the following Methods:
Methods 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
[[Page 53028]]
1. Scope and Application.
1.1 Analyte. Particulate matter (PM). No CAS number assigned.
1.2 Applicability. This method is applicable for the
determination of low level particulate matter (PM) emissions from
stationary sources. The method is most effective for total PM
catches of 50 mg or less. This method was initially developed for
performing correlation of manual PM measurements to PM continuous
emission monitoring systems (CEMS), however it is also useful for
other low particulate concentration applications.
1.3 Data Quality Objectives. Adherence to the requirements of
this method will enhance the quality of the data obtained from air
pollutant sampling methods. Method 5I requires the use of paired
trains. Acceptance criteria for the identification of data quality
outliers from the paired trains are provided in Section 12.2 of this
Method.
2. Summary of Method.
2.1. Description. The system setup and operation is essentially
identical to Method 5. Particulate is withdrawn isokinetically from
the source and collected on a 47 mm glass fiber filter maintained at
a temperature of 120 14 deg.C (248
25 deg.F). The PM mass is determined by gravimetric analysis after
the removal of uncombined water. Specific measures in this procedure
designed to improve system performance at low particulate levels
include:
1. Improved sample handling procedures
2 Light weight sample filter assembly
3. Use of low residue grade acetone
Accuracy is improved through the minimization of systemic errors
associated with sample handling and weighing procedures. High purity
reagents, all glass, grease free, sample train components, and light
weight filter assemblies and beakers, each contribute to the overall
objective of improved precision and accuracy at low particulate
concentrations.
2.2 Paired Trains. This method must be performed using a paired
train configuration. These trains may be operated as co-located
trains (to trains operating collecting from one port) or as
simultaneous trains (separate trains operating from different ports
at the same time). Procedures for calculating precision of the
paired trains are provided in Section 12.
2.3 Detection Limit. a. Typical detection limit for manual
particulate testing is 0.5 mg. This mass is also cited as the
accepted weight variability limit in determination of ``constant
weight'' as cited in Section 8.1.2 of this Method. EPA has performed
studies to provide guidance on minimum PM catch. The minimum
detection limit (MDL) is the minimum concentration or amount of an
analyte that can be determined with a specified degree of confidence
to be different from zero. We have defined the minimum or target
catch as a concentration or amount sufficiently larger than the MDL
to ensure that the results are reliable and repeatable. The
particulate matter catch is the product of the average particulate
matter concentration on a mass per volume basis and the volume of
gas collected by the sample train. The tester can generally control
the volume of gas collected by increasing the sampling time or to a
lesser extent by increasing the rate at which sample is collected.
If the tester has a reasonable estimate of the PM concentration from
the source, the tester can ensure that the target catch is collected
by sampling the appropriate gas volume.
b. However, if the source has a very low particulate matter
concentration in the stack, the volume of gas sampled may need to be
very large which leads to unacceptably long sampling times. When
determining compliance with an emission limit, EPA guidance has been
that the tester does not always have to collect the target catch.
Instead, we have suggested that the tester sample enough stack gas,
that if the source were exactly at the level of the emission
standard, the sample catch would equal the target catch. Thus, if at
the end of the test the catch were smaller than the target, we could
still conclude that the source is in compliance though we might not
know the exact emission level. This volume of gas becomes a target
volume that can be translated into a target sampling time by
assuming an average sampling rate. Because the MDL forms the basis
for our guidance on target sampling times, EPA has conducted a
systematic laboratory study to define what is the MDL for Method 5
and determined the Method to have a calculated practical
quantitation limit (PQL) of 3 mg of PM and an MDL of 1 mg.
c. Based on these results, the EPA has concluded that for PM
testing, the target catch must be no less than 3 mg. Those sample
catches between 1 mg and 3 mg are between the detection limit and
the limit of quantitation. If a tester uses the target catch to
estimate a target sampling time that results in sample catches that
are less than 3 mg, you should not automatically reject the results.
If the tester calculated the target sampling time as described above
by assuming that the source was at the level of the emission limit,
the results would still be valid for determining that the source was
in compliance. For purposes other than determining compliance,
results should be divided into two categories--those that fall
between 3 mg and 1 mg and those that are below 1 mg. A sample catch
between 1 and 3 mg may be used for such purposes as calculating
emission rates with the understanding that the resulting emission
rates can have a high degree of uncertainty. Results of less than 1
mg should not be used for calculating emission rates or pollutant
concentrations.
d. When collecting small catches such as 3 mg, bias becomes an
important issue. Source testers must use extreme caution to reach
the PQL of 3 mg by assuring that sampling probes are very clean
(perhaps confirmed by low blank weights) before use in the field.
They should also use low tare weight sample containers, and
establish a well-controlled balance room to weigh the samples.
3. Definitions.
3.1 Light Weight Filter Housing. A smaller housing that allows
the entire filtering system to be weighed before and after sample
collection. (See. 6.1.3)
3.2 Paired Train. Sample systems trains may be operated as co-
located trains (two sample probes attached to each other in the same
port) or as simultaneous trains (two separate trains operating from
different ports at the same time).
4. Interferences.
a. There are numerous potential interferents that may be
encountered during performance of Method 5I sampling and analyses.
This Method should be considered more sensitive to the normal
interferents typically encountered during particulate testing
because of the low level concentrations of the flue gas stream being
sampled.
b. Care must be taken to minimize field contamination,
especially to the filter housing since the entire unit is weighed
(not just the filter media). Care must also be taken to ensure that
no sample is lost during the sampling process (such as during port
changes, removal of the filter assemblies from the probes, etc.).
c. Balance room conditions are a source of concern for analysis
of the low level samples. Relative humidity, ambient temperatures
variations, air draft, vibrations and even barometric pressure can
affect consistent reproducible measurements of the sample media.
Ideally, the same analyst who performs the tare weights should
perform the final weights to minimize the effects of procedural
differences specific to the analysts.
d. Attention must also be provided to weighing artifacts caused
by electrostatic charges which may have to be discharged or
neutralized prior to sample analysis. Static charge can affect
consistent and reliable gravimetric readings in low humidity
environments. Method 5I recommends a relative humidity of less than
50 percent in the weighing room environment used for sample
analyses. However, lower humidity may be encountered or required to
address sample precision problems. Low humidity conditions can
increase the effects of static charge.
e. Other interferences associated with typical Method 5 testing
(sulfates, acid gases, etc.) are also applicable to Method 5I.
5. Safety.
Disclaimer. This method may involve hazardous materials,
operations, and equipment. This test method may not address all of
the safety concerns associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and to determine the applicability and observe all
regulatory limitations before using this method.
6. Equipment and Supplies.
6.1 Sample Collection Equipment and Supplies. The sample train
is nearly identical in configuration to the train depicted in Figure
5-1 of Method 5. The primary difference in the sample trains is the
lightweight Method 5I filter assembly that attaches directly to the
exit to the probe. Other exceptions and additions specific to Method
5I include:
6.1.1 Probe Nozzle. Same as Method 5, with the exception that
it must be constructed of borosilicate or quartz glass tubing.
6.1.2 Probe Liner. Same as Method 5, with the exception that it
must be
[[Page 53029]]
constructed of borosilicate or quartz glass tubing.
6.1.3 Filter Holder. The filter holder is constructed of
borosilicate or quartz glass front cover designed to hold a 47-mm
glass fiber filter, with a wafer thin stainless steel (SS) filter
support, a silicone rubber or Viton O-ring, and Teflon tape seal.
This holder design will provide a positive seal against leakage from
the outside or around the filter. The filter holder assembly fits
into a SS filter holder and attaches directly to the outlet of the
probe. The tare weight of the filter, borosilicate or quartz glass
holder, SS filter support, O-ring and Teflon tape seal generally
will not exceed approximately 35 grams. The filter holder is
designed to use a 47-mm glass fiber filter meeting the quality
criteria in of Method 5. These units are commercially available from
several source testing equipment vendors. Once the filter holder has
been assembled, desiccated and tared, protect it from external
sources of contamination by covering the front socket with a ground
glass plug. Secure the plug with an impinger clamp or other item
that will ensure a leak-free fitting.
6.2 Sample Recovery Equipment and Supplies. Same as Method 5,
with the following exceptions:
6.2.1 Probe-Liner and Probe-Nozzle Brushes. Teflon
or nylon bristle brushes with stainless steel wire handles, should
be used to clean the probe. The probe brush must have extensions (at
least as long as the probe) of Teflon, nylon or similarly inert
material. The brushes must be properly sized and shaped for brushing
out the probe liner and nozzle.
6.2.2 Wash Bottles. Two Teflon wash bottles are recommended
however, polyethylene wash bottles may be used at the option of the
tester. Acetone should not be stored in polyethylene bottles for
longer than one month.
6.2.3 Filter Assembly Transport. A system should be employed to
minimize contamination of the filter assemblies during transport to
and from the field test location. A carrying case or packet with
clean compartments of sufficient size to accommodate each filter
assembly can be used. This system should have an air tight seal to
further minimize contamination during transport to and from the
field.
6.3 Analysis Equipment and Supplies. Same as Method 5, with the
following exception:
6.3.1 Lightweight Beaker Liner. Teflon or other lightweight
beaker liners are used for the analysis of the probe and nozzle
rinses. These light weight liners are used in place of the
borosilicate glass beakers typically used for the Method 5 weighings
in order to improve sample analytical precision.
6.3.2 Anti-static Treatment. Commercially available gaseous
anti-static rinses are recommended for low humidity situations that
contribute to static charge problems.
7. Reagents and Standards.
7.1 Sampling Reagents. The reagents used in sampling are the
same as Method 5 with the following exceptions:
7.1.1 Filters. The quality specifications for the filters are
identical to those cited for Method 5. The only difference is the
filter diameter of 47 millimeters.
7.1.2 Stopcock Grease. Stopcock grease cannot be used with this
sampling train. We recommend that the sampling train be assembled
with glass joints containing O-ring seals or screw-on connectors, or
similar.
7.1.3 Acetone. Low residue type acetone, 0.001
percent residue, purchased in glass bottles is used for the recovery
of particulate matter from the probe and nozzle. Acetone from metal
containers generally has a high residue blank and should not be
used. Sometimes, suppliers transfer acetone to glass bottles from
metal containers; thus, acetone blanks must be run prior to field
use and only acetone with low blank values (0.001 percent
residue, as specified by the manufacturer) must be used. Acetone
blank correction is not allowed for this method; therefore, it is
critical that high purity reagents be purchased and verified prior
to use.
7.1.4 Gloves. Disposable, powder-free, latex surgical gloves,
or their equivalent are used at all times when handling the filter
housings or performing sample recovery.
7.2 Standards. There are no applicable standards or audit
samples commercially available for Method 5I analyses.
8. Sample Collection, Preservation, Storage, and Transport.
8.1 Pretest Preparation. Same as Method 5 with several
exceptions specific to filter assembly and weighing.
8.1.1 Filter Assembly. Uniquely identify each filter support
before loading filters into the holder assembly. This can be done
with an engraving tool or a permanent marker. Use powder free latex
surgical gloves whenever handling the filter holder assemblies.
Place the O-ring on the back of the filter housing in the O-ring
groove. Place a 47 mm glass fiber filter on the O-ring with the face
down. Place a stainless steel filter holder against the back of the
filter. Carefully wrap 5 mm (\1/4\ inch) wide Teflon'' tape one
timearound the outside of the filter holder overlapping the
stainless steel filter support by approximately 2.5 mm (\1/8\ inch).
Gently brush the Teflon tape down on the back of the stainless steel
filter support. Store the filter assemblies in their transport case
until time for weighing or field use.
8.1.2 Filter Weighing Procedures. a. Desiccate the entire
filter holder assemblies at 20 5.6 deg.C (68
10 deg.F) and ambient pressure for at least 24 hours.
Weigh at intervals of at least 6 hours to a constant weight, i.e.,
0.5 mg change from previous weighing. Record the results to the
nearest 0.1 mg. During each weighing, the filter holder assemblies
must not be exposed to the laboratory atmosphere for a period
greater than 2 minutes and a relative humidity above 50 percent.
Lower relative humidity may be required in order to improve
analytical precision. However, low humidity conditions increase
static charge to the sample media.
b. Alternatively (unless otherwise specified by the
Administrator), the filters holder assemblies may be oven dried at
105 deg.C (220 deg.F) for a minimum of 2 hours, desiccated for 2
hours, and weighed. The procedure used for the tare weigh must also
be used for the final weight determination.
c. Experience has shown that weighing uncertainties are not only
related to the balance performance but to the entire weighing
procedure. Therefore, before performing any measurement, establish
and follow standard operating procedures, taking into account the
sampling equipment and filters to be used.
8.2 Preliminary Determinations. Select the sampling site,
traverse points, probe nozzle, and probe length as specified in
Method 5.
8.3 Preparation of Sampling Train. Same as Method 5, Section
8.3, with the following exception: During preparation and assembly
of the sampling train, keep all openings where contamination can
occur covered until justbefore assembly or until sampling is about
to begin. Using gloves, place a labeled (identified) and weighed
filter holder assembly into the stainless steel holder. Then place
this whole unit in the Method 5 hot box, and attach it to the probe.
Do not use stopcock grease.
8.4 Leak-Check Procedures. Same as Method 5.
8.5 Sampling Train Operation.
8.5.1. Operation. Operate the sampling train in a manner
consistent with those described in Methods 1, 2, 4 and 5 in terms of
the number of sample points and minimum time per point. The sample
rate and total gas volume should be adjusted based on estimated
grain loading of the source being characterized. The total sampling
time must be a function of the estimated mass of particulate to be
collected for the run. Targeted mass to be collected in a typical
Method 5I sample train should be on the order of 10 to 20 mg. Method
5I is most appropriate for total collected masses of less than 50
milligrams, however, there is not an exact particulate loading
cutoff, and it is likely that some runs may exceed 50 mg. Exceeding
50 mg (or less than 10 mg) for the sample mass does not necessarily
justify invalidating a sample run if all other Method criteria are
met.
8.5.2 Paired Train. This Method requires PM samples be
collected with paired trains.
8.5.2.1 It is important that the systems be operated truly
simultaneously. This implies that both sample systems start and stop
at the same times. This also means that if one sample system is
stopped during the run, the other sample systems must also be
stopped until the cause has been corrected.
8.5.2.2 Care should be taken to maintain the filter box
temperature of the paired trains as close as possible to the Method
required temperature of 120 14 deg.C (248
25 deg.F). If separate ovens are being used for simultaneously
operated trains, it is recommended that the oven temperature of each
train be maintained within 14 deg.C (
25 deg.F) of each other.
8.5.2.3 The nozzles for paired trains need not be identically
sized.
8.5.2.4 Co-located sample nozzles must be within the same plane
perpendicular to the gas flow. Co-located nozzles and pitot
assemblies should be within a 6.0 cm x 6.0 cm square (as cited for
a quadruple train in Reference Method 301).
8.5.3 Duplicate gas samples for molecular weight determination
need not be collected.
[[Page 53030]]
8.6 Sample Recovery. Same as Method 5 with several exceptions
specific to the filter housing.
8.6.1 Before moving the sampling train to the cleanup site,
remove the probe from the train and seal the nozzle inlet and outlet
of the probe. Be careful not to lose any condensate that might be
present. Cap the filter inlet using a standard ground glass plug and
secure the cap with an impinger clamp. Remove the umbilical cord
from the last impinger and cap the impinger. If a flexible line is
used between the first impinger condenser and the filter holder,
disconnect the line at the filter holder and let any condensed water
or liquid drain into the impingers or condenser.
8.6.2 Transfer the probe and filter-impinger assembly to the
cleanup area. This area must be clean and protected from the wind so
that the possibility of losing any of the sample will be minimized.
8.6.3 Inspect the train prior to and during disassembly and
note any abnormal conditions such as particulate color, filter
loading, impinger liquid color, etc.
8.6.4 Container No. 1, Filter Assembly. Carefully remove the
cooled filter holder assembly from the Method 5 hot box and place it
in the transport case. Use a pair of clean gloves to handle the
filter holder assembly.
8.6.5 Container No. 2, Probe Nozzle and Probe Liner Rinse.
Rinse the probe and nozzle components with acetone. Be certain that
the probe and nozzle brushes have been thoroughly rinsed prior to
use as they can be a source of contamination.
8.6.6 All Other Train Components. (Impingers) Same as Method 5.
8.7 Sample Storage and Transport. Whenever possible, containers
should be shipped in such a way that they remain upright at all
times. All appropriate dangerous goods shipping requirements must be
observed since acetone is a flammable liquid.
9. Quality Control.
9.1 Miscellaneous Field Quality Control Measures.
9.1.1 A quality control (QC) check of the volume metering
system at the field site is suggested before collecting the sample
using the procedures in Method 5, Section 4.4.1.
9.1.2 All other quality control checks outlined in Methods 1,
2, 4 and 5 also apply to Method 5I. This includes procedures such as
leak-checks, equipment calibration checks, and independent checks of
field data sheets for reasonableness and completeness.
9.2 Quality Control Samples.
9.2.1 Required QC Sample. A laboratory reagent blank must be
collected and analyzed for each lot of acetone used for a field
program to confirm that it is of suitable purity. The particulate
samples cannot be blank corrected.
9.2.2 Recommended QC Samples. These samples may be collected
and archived for future analyses.
9.2.2.1 A field reagent blank is a recommended QC sample
collected from a portion of the acetone used for cleanup of the
probe and nozzle. Take 100 ml of this acetone directly from the wash
bottle being used and place it in a glass sample container labeled
``field acetone reagent blank.'' At least one field reagent blank is
recommended for every five runs completed. The field reagent blank
samples demonstrate the purity of the acetone was maintained
throughout the program.
9.2.2.2 A field bias blank train is a recommended QC sample.
This sample is collected by recovering a probe and filter assembly
that has been assembled, taken to the sample location, leak checked,
heated, allowed to sit at the sample location for a similar duration
of time as a regular sample run, leak-checked again, and then
recovered in the same manner as a regular sample. Field bias blanks
are not a Method requirement, however, they are recommended and are
very useful for identifying sources of contamination in emission
testing samples. Field bias blank train results greater than 5 times
the method detection limit may be considered problematic.
10. Calibration and Standardization Same as Method 5, Section
5.
11. Analytical Procedures.
11.1 Analysis. Same as Method 5, Sections 11.1--11.2.4, with
the following exceptions:
11.1.1 Container No. 1. Same as Method 5, Section 11.2.1, with
the following exception: Use disposable gloves to remove each of the
filter holder assemblies from the desiccator, transport container,
or sample oven (after appropriate cooling).
11.1.2 Container No. 2. Same as Method 5, Section 11.2.2, with
the following exception: It is recommended that the contents of
Container No. 2 be transferred to a 250 ml beaker with a Teflon
liner or similar container that has a minimal tare weight before
bringing to dryness.
12. Data Analysis and Calculations.
12.1 Particulate Emissions. The analytical results cannot be
blank corrected for residual acetone found in any of the blanks. All
other sample calculations are identical to Method 5.
12.2 Paired Trains Outliers. a. Outliers are identified through
the determination of precision and any systemic bias of the paired
trains. Data that do not meet this criteria should be flagged as a
data quality problem. The primary reason for performing dual train
sampling is to generate information to quantify the precision of the
Reference Method data. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of
paired data is the parameter used to quantify data precision. RSD
for two simultaneously gathered data points is determined according
to:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR30SE99.008
where, Ca and Cb are concentration values determined from trains A
and B respectively. For RSD calculation, the concentration units are
unimportant so long as they are consistent.
b. A minimum precision criteria for Reference Method PM data is
that RSD for any data pair must be less than 10% as long as the mean
PM concentration is greater than 10 mg/unit volume. If the mean PM
concentration is less than 10 mg/unit volume higher RSD values are
acceptable. At mean PM concentration of 1 mg/unit volume acceptable
RSD for paired trains is 25%. Between 1 and 10 mg/unit volume
acceptable RSD criteria should be linearly scaled from 25% to 10%.
Pairs of manual method data exceeding these RSD criteria should be
eliminated from the data set used to develop a PM CEMS correlation
or to assess RCA.

3. Appendix B to part 60 is amended by adding Performance
Specifications 4B and 8A in numerical order to read as follows:
Appendix B--Performance Specifications
* * * * *
Performance Specification 4B---Specifications and test procedures
for carbon monoxide and oxygen continuous monitoring systems in
stationary sources
a. Applicability and Principle
1.1 Applicability. a. This specification is to be used for
evaluating the acceptability of carbon monoxide (CO) and oxygen
(O2) continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) at the
time of or soon after installation and whenever specified in the
regulations. The CEMS may include, for certain stationary sources,
(a) flow monitoring equipment to allow measurement of the dry volume
of stack effluent sampled, and (b) an automatic sampling system.
b. This specification is not designed to evaluate the installed
CEMS' performance over an extended period of time nor does it
identify specific calibration techniques and auxiliary procedures to
assess the CEMS' performance. The source owner or operator, however,
is responsible to properly calibrate, maintain, and operate the
CEMS. To evaluate the CEMS' performance, the Administrator may
require, under section 114 of the Act, the operator to conduct CEMS
performance evaluations at times other than the initial test.
c. The definitions, installation and measurement location
specifications, test procedures, data reduction procedures,
reporting requirements, and bibliography are the same as in PS 3
(for O2) and PS 4A (for CO) except as otherwise noted
below.
1.2 Principle. Installation and measurement location
specifications, performance specifications, test procedures, and
data reduction procedures are included in this specification.
Reference method tests, calibration error tests, calibration drift
tests, and interferant tests are conducted to determine conformance
of the CEMS with the specification.
b. Definitions
2.1 Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS). This
definition is the same as PS 2 Section 2.1 with the following
addition. A continuous monitor is one in which the sample to be
analyzed passes the measurement section of the analyzer without
interruption.
2.2 Response Time. The time interval between the start of a
step change in the system input and when the pollutant analyzer
output reaches 95 percent of the final value.
2.3 Calibration Error (CE). The difference between the
concentration indicated by the CEMS and the known concentration
generated by a calibration source when the entire CEMS, including
the sampling interface is challenged. A CE test procedure is
performed to document the accuracy and linearity of the CEMS over
the entire measurement range.
3. Installation and Measurement Location Specifications
3.1 The CEMS Installation and Measurement Location. This
specification is the same as PS 2 Section 3.1 with the following
additions. Both the CO and O2 monitors should be
installed at the same general location. If this is not possible,
they may be installed at different locations if the effluent gases
at both sample locations are not stratified and there is no in-
leakage of air between sampling locations.
3.1.1 Measurement Location. Same as PS 2 Section 3.1.1.
3.1.2 Point CEMS. The measurement point should be within or
centrally located over the centroidal area of the stack or duct
cross section.
3.1.3 Path CEMS. The effective measurement path should: (1)
Have at least 70 percent of the path within the inner 50 percent of
the stack or duct cross sectional area, or (2) be centrally located
over any part of the centroidal area.
3.2 Reference Method (RM) Measurement Location and Traverse
Points. This specification is the same as PS 2 Section 3.2 with the
following additions. When pollutant concentration changes are due
solely to diluent leakage and CO and O2 are
simultaneously measured at the same location, one half diameter may
be used in place of two equivalent diameters.
3.3 Stratification Test Procedure. Stratification is defined as
the difference in excess of 10 percent between the average
concentration in the duct or stack and the concentration at any
point more than 1.0 meter from the duct or stack wall. To determine
whether effluent stratification exists, a dual probe system should
be used to determine the average effluent concentration while
measurements at each traverse point are being made. One probe,
located at the stack or duct centroid, is used as a stationary
reference point to indicate change in the effluent concentration
over time. The second probe is used for sampling at the traverse
points specified in Method 1 (40 CFR part 60 appendix A). The
monitoring system samples sequentially at the reference and traverse
points throughout the testing period for five minutes at each point.
d. Performance and Equipment Specifications
4.1 Data Recorder Scale. For O2, same as specified
in PS 3, except that the span must be 25 percent. The span of the
O2 may be higher if the O2 concentration at
the sampling point can be greater than 25 percent. For CO, same as
specified in PS 4A, except that the low-range span must be 200 ppm
and the high range span must be 3000 ppm. In addition, the scale for
both CEMS must record all readings within a measurement range with a
resolution of 0.5 percent.
4.2 Calibration Drift. For O2, same as specified in
PS 3. For CO, the same as specified in PS 4A except that the CEMS
calibration must not drift from the reference value of the
calibration standard by more than 3 percent of the span value on
either the high or low range.
4.3 Relative Accuracy (RA). For O2, same as
specified in PS 3. For CO, the same as specified in PS 4A.
4.4 Calibration Error (CE). The mean difference between the
CEMS and reference values at all three test points (see Table I)
must be no greater than 5 percent of span value for CO monitors and
0.5 percent for O2 monitors.
4.5 Response Time. The response time for the CO or
O2 monitor must not exceed 2 minutes.
e. Performance Specification Test Procedure
5.1 Calibration Error Test and Response Time Test Periods.
Conduct the CE and response time tests during the CD test period.
F. The CEMS Calibration Drift and Response Time Test Procedures
The response time test procedure is given in PS 4A, and must be
carried out for both the CO and O2 monitors.
7. Relative Accuracy and Calibration Error Test Procedures
7.1 Calibration Error Test Procedure. Challenge each monitor
(both low and high range CO and O2) with zero gas and EPA
Protocol 1 cylinder gases at three measurement points within the
ranges specified in Table I.
Table I. Calibration Error Concentration Ranges
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operate each monitor in its normal sampling mode as nearly as
possible. The calibration gas must be injected into the sample
system as close to the sampling probe outlet as practical and should
pass through all CEMS components used during normal sampling.
Challenge the CEMS three non-consecutive times at each measurement
point and record the responses. The duration of each gas
[[Page 53033]]
injection should be sufficient to ensure that the CEMS surfaces are
conditioned.
7.1.1 Calculations. Summarize the results on a data sheet.
Average the differences between the instrument response and the
certified cylinder gas value for each gas. Calculate the CE results
according to:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR30SE99.010
where d is the mean difference between the CEMS response and the
known reference concentration and FS is the span value.
7.2 Relative Accuracy Test Procedure. Follow the RA test
procedures in PS 3 (for O2) section 3 and PS 4A (for CO)
section 4.
7.3 Alternative RA Procedure. Under some operating conditions,
it may not be possible to obtain meaningful results using the RA
test procedure. This includes conditions where consistent, very low
CO emission or low CO emissions interrupted periodically by short
duration, high level spikes are observed. It may be appropriate in
these circumstances to waive the RA test and substitute the
following procedure.
Conduct a complete CEMS status check following the
manufacturer's written instructions. The check should include
operation of the light source, signal receiver, timing mechanism
functions, data acquisition and data reduction functions, data
recorders, mechanically operated functions, sample filters, sample
line heaters, moisture traps, and other related functions of the
CEMS, as applicable. All parts of the CEMS must be functioning
properly before the RA requirement can be waived. The instrument
must also successfully passed the CE and CD specifications.
Substitution of the alternate procedure requires approval of the
Regional Administrator.

Performance Specification 8A--Specifications and test procedures for
total hydrocarbon continuous monitoring systems in stationary
sources
1. Applicability and Principle
1.1 Applicability. These performance specifications apply to
hydrocarbon (HC) continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS)
installed on stationary sources. The specifications include
procedures which are intended to be used to evaluate the
acceptability of the CEMS at the time of its installation or
whenever specified in regulations or permits. The procedures are not
designed to evaluate CEMS performance over an extended period of
time. The source owner or operator is responsible for the proper
calibration, maintenance, and operation of the CEMS at all times.
1.2 Principle. A gas sample is extracted from the source
through a heated sample line and heated filter to a flame ionization
detector (FID). Results are reported as volume concentration
equivalents of propane. Installation and measurement location
specifications, performance and equipment specifications, test and
data reduction procedures, and brief quality assurance guidelines
are included in the specifications. Calibration drift, calibration
error, and response time tests are conducted to determine
conformance of the CEMS with the specifications.
2. Definitions
2.1 Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS). The total
equipment used to acquire data, which includes sample extraction and
transport hardware, analyzer, data recording and processing
hardware, and software. The system consists of the following major
subsystems:
2.1.1 Sample Interface. That portion of the system that is used
for one or more of the following: Sample acquisition, sample
transportation, sample conditioning, or protection of the analyzer
from the effects of the stack effluent.
2.1.2 Organic Analyzer. That portion of the system that senses
organic concentration and generates an output proportional to the
gas concentration.
2.1.3 Data Recorder. That portion of the system that records a
permanent record of the measurement values. The data recorder may
include automatic data reduction capabilities.
2.2 Instrument Measurement Range. The difference between the
minimum and maximum concentration that can be measured by a specific
instrument. The minimum is often stated or assumed to be zero and
the range expressed only as the maximum.
2.3 Span or Span Value. Full scale instrument measurement
range. The span value must be documented by the CEMS manufacturer
with laboratory data.
2.4 Calibration Gas. A known concentration of a gas in an
appropriate diluent gas.
2.5 Calibration Drift (CD). The difference in the CEMS output
readings from the established reference value after a stated period
of operation during which no unscheduled maintenance, repair, or
adjustment takes place. A CD test is performed to demonstrate the
stability of the CEMS calibration over time.
2.6 Response Time. The time interval between the start of a
step change in the system input (e.g., change of calibration gas)
and the time when the data recorder displays 95 percent of the final
value.
2.7 Accuracy. A measurement of agreement between a measured
value and an accepted or true value, expressed as the percentage
difference between the true and measured values relative to the true
value. For these performance specifications, accuracy is checked by
conducting a calibration error (CE) test.
2.8 Calibration Error (CE). The difference between the
concentration indicated by the CEMS and the known concentration of
the cylinder gas. A CE test procedure is performed to document the
accuracy and linearity of the monitoring equipment over the entire
measurement range.
2.9 Performance Specification Test (PST) Period. The period
during which CD, CE, and response time tests are conducted.
2.10 Centroidal Area. A concentric area that is geometrically
similar to the stack or duct cross section and is no greater than 1
percent of the stack or duct cross-sectional area.
3. Installation and Measurement Location Specifications
3.1 CEMS Installation and Measurement Locations. The CEMS must
be installed in a location in which measurements representative of
the source's emissions can be obtained. The optimum location of the
sample interface for the CEMS is determined by a number of factors,
including ease of access for calibration and maintenance, the degree
to which sample conditioning will be required, the degree to which
it represents total emissions, and the degree to which it represents
the combustion situation in the firebox (where applicable). The
location should be as free from in-leakage influences as possible
and reasonably free from severe flow disturbances. The sample
location should be at least two equivalent duct diameters downstream
from the nearest control device, point of pollutant generation, or
other point at which a change in the pollutant concentration or
emission rate occurs and at least 0.5 diameter upstream from the
exhaust or control device. The equivalent duct diameter is
calculated as per 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, method 1, section 2.1.
If these criteria are not achievable or if the location is otherwise
less than optimum, the possibility of stratification should be
investigated as described in section 3.2. The measurement point must
be within the centroidal area of the stack or duct cross section.
3.2 Stratification Test Procedure. Stratification is defined as
a difference in excess of 10 percent between the average
concentration in the duct or stack and the concentration at any
point more than 1.0 meter from the duct or stack wall. To determine
whether effluent stratification exists, a dual probe system should
be used to determine the average effluent concentration while
measurements at each traverse point are being made. One probe,
located at the stack or duct centroid, is used as a stationary
reference point to indicate the change in effluent concentration
over time. The second probe is used for sampling at the traverse
points specified in 40 CFR part 60 appendix A, method 1. The
monitoring system samples sequentially at the reference and traverse
points throughout the testing period for five minutes at each point.
4. CEMS Performance and Equipment Specifications
If this method is applied in highly explosive areas, caution and
care must be exercised in choice of equipment and installation.
4.1 Flame Ionization Detector (FID) Analyzer. A heated FID
analyzer capable of meeting or exceeding the requirements of these
specifications. Heated systems must maintain the temperature of the
sample gas between 150 deg.C (300 deg.F) and 175 deg.C (350
deg.F) throughout the system. This requires all system components
such as the probe, calibration valve, filter, sample lines, pump,
and the FID to be kept heated at all times such that no moisture is
condensed out of the
[[Page 53034]]
system. The essential components of the measurement system are
described below:
4.1.1 Sample Probe. Stainless steel, or equivalent, to collect
a gas sample from the centroidal area of the stack cross-section.
4.1.2 Sample Line. Stainless steel or Teflon tubing to
transport the sample to the analyzer.
Note: Mention of trade names or specific products does not
constitute endorsement by the Environmental Protection Agency.
4.1.3 Calibration Valve Assembly. A heated three-way valve
assembly to direct the zero and calibration gases to the analyzer is
recommended. Other methods, such as quick-connect lines, to route
calibration gas to the analyzers are applicable.
4.1.4 Particulate Filter. An in-stack or out-of-stack sintered
stainless steel filter is recommended if exhaust gas particulate
loading is significant. An out-of-stack filter must be heated.
4.1.5 Fuel. The fuel specified by the manufacturer (e.g., 40
percent hydrogen/60 percent helium, 40 percent hydrogen/60 percent
nitrogen gas mixtures, or pure hydrogen) should be used.
4.1.6 Zero Gas. High purity air with less than 0.1 parts per
million by volume (ppm) HC as methane or carbon equivalent or less
than 0.1 percent of the span value, whichever is greater.
4.1.7 Calibration Gases. Appropriate concentrations of propane
gas (in air or nitrogen). Preparation of the calibration gases
should be done according to the procedures in EPA Protocol 1. In
addition, the manufacturer of the cylinder gas should provide a
recommended shelf life for each calibration gas cylinder over which
the concentration does not change by more than 2 percent
from the certified value.
4.2 CEMS Span Value. 100 ppm propane. The span value must be
documented by the CEMS manufacturer with laboratory data.
4.3 Daily Calibration Gas Values. The owner or operator must
choose calibration gas concentrations that include zero and high-
level calibration values.
4.3.1 The zero level may be between zero and 0.1 ppm (zero and
0.1 percent of the span value).
4.3.2 The high-level concentration must be between 50 and 90
ppm (50 and 90 percent of the span value).
4.4 Data Recorder Scale. The strip chart recorder, computer, or
digital recorder must be capable of recording all readings within
the CEMS' measurement range and must have a resolution of 0.5 ppm
(0.5 percent of span value).
4.5 Response Time. The response time for the CEMS must not
exceed 2 minutes to achieve 95 percent of the final stable value.
4.6 Calibration Drift. The CEMS must allow the determination of
CD at the zero and high-level values. The CEMS calibration response
must not differ by more than 3 ppm (3
percent of the span value) after each 24-hour period of the 7-day
test at both zero and high levels.
4.7 Calibration Error. The mean difference between the CEMS and
reference values at all three test points listed below must be no
greater than 5 ppm (5 percent of the span value).
4.7.1 Zero Level. Zero to 0.1 ppm (0 to 0.1 percent of span
value).
4.7.2 Mid-Level. 30 to 40 ppm (30 to 40 percent of span value).
4.7.3 High-Level. 70 to 80 ppm (70 to 80 percent of span
value).
4.8 Measurement and Recording Frequency. The sample to be
analyzed must pass through the measurement section of the analyzer
without interruption. The detector must measure the sample
concentration at least once every 15 seconds. An average emission
rate must be computed and recorded at least once every 60 seconds.
4.9 Hourly Rolling Average Calculation. The CEMS must calculate
every minute an hourly rolling average, which is the arithmetic mean
of the 60 most recent 1-minute average values.
4.10 Retest. If the CEMS produces results within the specified
criteria, the test is successful. If the CEMS does not meet one or
more of the criteria, necessary corrections must be made and the
performance tests repeated.
5. Performance Specification Test (PST) Periods
5.1 Pretest Preparation Period. Install the CEMS, prepare the
PTM test site according to the specifications in section 3, and
prepare the CEMS for operation and calibration according to the
manufacturer's written instructions. A pretest conditioning period
similar to that of the 7-day CD test is recommended to verify the
operational status of the CEMS.
5.2 Calibration Drift Test Period. While the facility is
operating under normal conditions, determine the magnitude of the CD
at 24-hour intervals for seven consecutive days according to the
procedure given in section 6.1. All CD determinations must be made
following a 24-hour period during which no unscheduled maintenance,
repair, or adjustment takes place. If the combustion unit is taken
out of service during the test period, record the onset and duration
of the downtime and continue the CD test when the unit resumes
operation.
5.3 Calibration Error Test and Response Time Test Periods.
Conduct the CE and response time tests during the CD test period.
6. Performance Specification Test Procedures
6.1 Relative Accuracy Test Audit (RATA) and Absolute
Calibration Audits (ACA). The test procedures described in this
section are in lieu of a RATA and ACA.
6.2 Calibration Drift Test.
6.2.1 Sampling Strategy. Conduct the CD test at 24-hour
intervals for seven consecutive days using calibration gases at the
two daily concentration levels specified in section 4.3. Introduce
the two calibration gases into the sampling system as close to the
sampling probe outlet as practical. The gas must pass through all
CEM components used during normal sampling. If periodic automatic or
manual adjustments are made to the CEMS zero and calibration
settings, conduct the CD test immediately before these adjustments,
or conduct it in such a way that the CD can be determined. Record
the CEMS response and subtract this value from the reference
(calibration gas) value. To meet the specification, none of the
differences may exceed 3 percent of the span of the CEM.
6.2.2 Calculations. Summarize the results on a data sheet. An
example is shown in Figure 1. Calculate the differences between the
CEMS responses and the reference values.
6.3 Response Time. The entire system including sample
extraction and transport, sample conditioning, gas analyses, and the
data recording is checked with this procedure.
6.3.1 Introduce the calibration gases at the probe as near to
the sample location as possible. Introduce the zero gas into the
system. When the system output has stabilized (no change greater
than 1 percent of full scale for 30 sec), switch to monitor stack
effluent and wait for a stable value. Record the time (upscale
response time) required to reach 95 percent of the final stable
value.
6.3.2 Next, introduce a high-level calibration gas and repeat
the above procedure. Repeat the entire procedure three times and
determine the mean upscale and downscale response times. The longer
of the two means is the system response time.
6.4 Calibration Error Test Procedure.
6.4.1 Sampling Strategy. Challenge the CEMS with zero gas and
EPA Protocol 1 cylinder gases at measurement points within the
ranges specified in section 4.7.
6.4.1.1 The daily calibration gases, if Protocol 1, may be used
for this test.

BILLING CODE 6560-50-C
[[Page 53036]]
6.4.1.2 Operate the CEMS as nearly as possible in its normal
sampling mode. The calibration gas should be injected into the
sampling system as close to the sampling probe outlet as practical
and must pass through all filters, scrubbers, conditioners, and
other monitor components used during normal sampling. Challenge the
CEMS three non-consecutive times at each measurement point and
record the responses. The duration of each gas injection should be
for a sufficient period of time to ensure that the CEMS surfaces are
conditioned.
6.4.2 Calculations. Summarize the results on a data sheet. An
example data sheet is shown in Figure 2. Average the differences
between the instrument response and the certified cylinder gas value
for each gas. Calculate three CE results according to Equation 1. No
confidence coefficient is used in CE calculations.

response time, and CE test, as appropriate. Include all data sheets,
calculations, CEMS data records, and cylinder gas or reference
material certifications.

dscm, combined emissions, corrected to 7 percent oxygen;
(5) Carbon monoxide in excess of 100 parts per million by volume,
over an hourly rolling average (monitored continuously with a
continuous emissions monitoring system), dry basis and corrected to 7
percent oxygen, and hydrocarbons in excess of 20 parts per million by
volume over an hourly rolling average (monitored continuously with a
continuous emissions monitoring system), dry basis, corrected to 7
percent oxygen, and reported as propane, at any time during the

percent oxygen.
(c) Destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) standard--(1) 99.99%
DRE. Except as provided in paragraph (c)(2) of this section, you must
achieve a destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of 99.99% for each
principal organic hazardous constituent (POHC) designated under
paragraph (c)(3) of this section. You must calculate DRE for each POHC
from the following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR30SE99.021
Where:
Win=mass feedrate of one principal organic hazardous
constituent (POHC) in a waste feedstream; and
Wout=mass emission rate of the same POHC present in exhaust
emissions prior to release to the atmosphere
(2) 99.9999% DRE. If you burn the dioxin-listed hazardous wastes
FO20, FO21, FO22, FO23, FO26, or FO27 (see Sec. 261.31 of this
chapter), you must achieve a destruction and removal efficiency (DRE)
of 99.9999% for each principal organic hazardous constituent (POHC)
that you designate under paragraph (c)(3) of this section. You must
demonstrate this DRE performance on POHCs that are more difficult to
incinerate than tetro-, penta-, and hexachlorodibenzo-dioxins and
dibenzofurans. You must use the equation in paragraph (c)(1) of this
section calculate DRE for each POHC. In addition, you must notify the
Administrator of your intent to burn hazardous wastes FO20, FO21, FO22,
FO23, FO26, or FO27.
(3) Principal organic hazardous constituents (POHCs). (i) You must
treat the Principal Organic Hazardous Constituents (POHCs) in the waste
feed that you specify under paragraph (c)(3)(ii) of this section to the
extent required by paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this section.
(ii) You must specify one or more POHCs from the list of hazardous
air pollutants established by 42 U.S.C. 7412(b)(1), excluding
caprolactam (CAS number 105602) as provided by Sec. 63.60, for each
waste to be burned. You must base this specification 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 or other data and information.
(d) Significant figures. The emission limits provided by paragraphs
(a) and (b) of this section are presented with two significant figures.
Although you must perform intermediate calculations using at least
three significant figures, you may round the resultant emission levels
to two significant figures to document compliance.
(e) Air emission standards for equipment leaks, tanks, surface
impoundments, and containers. You are subject to the air emission
standards of subparts BB and CC, part 264, of this chapter.
Monitoring and Compliance Provisions
Sec. 63.1206 When and how must you comply with the standards and
operating requirements?
(a) Compliance dates-- (1) Compliance date for existing sources.
You must comply with the standards of this subpart no later than
September 30, 2002 unless the Administrator grants you an extension of
time under Sec. 63.6(i) or Sec. 63.1213, or you comply with the
requirements of paragraph (a)(2) of this section for sources that do
not intend to comply with the emission standards.
(2) Sources that do not intend to comply. Except for those sources
meeting the requirements of Sec. 63.1210(b)(1)(iv), sources:
(i) That signify in their Notification of Intent to Comply (NIC) an
intent not to comply with the requirements of this subpart, must stop
burning hazardous waste on or before October 1, 2001.
(ii) That do not intend to comply with this subpart must include in
their NIC a schedule that includes key dates for the steps to be taken
to stop burning hazardous waste. Key dates include the date for
submittal of RCRA closure documents required under subpart G, part 264,
of this chapter.
(3) New or reconstructed sources. (i) If you commenced construction
or reconstruction of your hazardous waste combustor after April 19,
1996, you must comply with this subpart by the later of September 30,
1999 or the date the source starts operations, except as provided by
paragraph (a)(3)(ii) of this section.
(ii) For a standard in this subpart that is more stringent than the
standard proposed on April 19, 1996, you may achieve compliance no
later than September 30, 2002 if you comply with the standard proposed
on April 19, 1996 after September 30, 1999. This exception does not
apply, however, to new or reconstructed area source hazardous waste
combustors that become major sources after September 30, 1999. As
provided by Sec. 63.6(b)(7), such sources must comply with this subpart
at startup.
(b) Compliance with standards--(1) Applicability. The emission
standards
[[Page 53045]]
and operating requirements set forth in this subpart apply at all times
except:
(i) During startup, shutdown, and malfunction, provided that
hazardous waste is not in the combustion chamber (i.e., the hazardous
waste feed to the combustor has been cutoff for a period of time not
less than the hazardous waste residence time) during those periods of
operation, as provided by paragraph (c)(2)(ii) of this section; and
(ii) When hazardous waste is not in the combustion chamber (i.e.,
the hazardous waste feed to the combustor has been cutoff for a period
of time not less than the hazardous waste residence time), and you
have:
(A) Submitted a written, one-time notice to the Administrator
documenting compliance with all applicable requirements and standards
promulgated under authority of the Clean Air Act, including sections
112 and 129; and
(B) Documented in the operating record that you are complying with
such applicable requirements in lieu of the emission standards and
operating requirements of this subpart.
(2) Methods for determining compliance. The Administrator will
determine compliance with the emission standards of this subpart as
provided by Sec. 63.6(f)(2). Conducting performance testing under
operating conditions representative of the extreme range of normal
conditions is consistent with the requirements of
Secs. 63.6(f)(2)(iii)(B) and 63.7(e)(1) to conduct performance testing
under representative operating conditions.
(3) Finding of compliance. The Administrator will make a finding
concerning compliance with the emission standards and other
requirements of this subpart as provided by Sec. 63.6(f)(3).
(4) Extension of compliance with emission standards. The
Administrator may grant an extension of compliance with the emission
standards of this subpart as provided by Secs. 63.6(i) and 63.1213.
(5) Changes in design, operation, or maintenance--(i) Changes that
may adversely affect compliance. If you plan to change (as defined in
paragraph (b)(6)(iii) of this section) the design, operation, or
maintenance practices of the source in a manner that may adversely
affect compliance with any emission standard that is not monitored with
a CEMS:
(A) Notification. You must notify the Administrator at least 60
days prior to the change, unless you document circumstances that
dictate that such prior notice is not reasonably feasible. The
notification must include:
(1) A description of the changes and which emission standards may
be affected; and
(2) A comprehensive performance test schedule and test plan under
the requirements of Sec. 63.1207(f) that will document compliance with
the affected emission standard(s);
(B) Performance test. You must conduct a comprehensive performance
test under the requirements of Secs. 63.1207(f)(1) and (g)(1) to
document compliance with the affected emission standard(s) and
establish operating parameter limits as required under Sec. 63.1209,
and submit to the Administrator a Notification of Compliance under
Secs. 63.1207(j) and 63.1210(d); and
(C) Restriction on waste burning. (1) Except as provided by
paragraph (b)(5)(i)(C)(2) of this section, after the change and prior
to submitting the notification of compliance, you must not burn
hazardous waste for more than a total of 720 hours and only for
purposes of pretesting or comprehensive performance testing.
(2) You may petition the Administrator to obtain written approval
to burn hazardous waste in the interim prior to submitting a
Notification of Compliance for purposes other than testing or
pretesting. You must specify operating requirements, including limits
on operating parameters, that you determine will ensure compliance with
the emission standards of this subpart based on available information.
The Administrator will review, modify as necessary, and approve if
warranted the interim operating requirements.
(ii) Changes that will not affect compliance. If you determine that
a change will not adversely affect compliance with the emission
standards or operating requirements, you must document the change in
the operating record upon making such change. You must revise as
necessary the performance test plan, Documentation of Compliance,
Notification of Compliance, and start-up, shutdown, and malfunction
plan to reflect these changes.
(iii) Definition of ``change''. For purposes of paragraph (b)(6) of
this section, ``change'' means any change in design, operation, or
maintenance practices that were documented in the comprehensive
performance test plan, Notification of Compliance, or startup,
shutdown, and malfunction plan.
(6) Compliance with the carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emission
standards. This paragraph applies to sources that elect to comply with
the carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions standards under
Secs. 63.1203 through 63.1205 by documenting continuous compliance with
the carbon monoxide standard using a continuous emissions monitoring
system and documenting compliance with the hydrocarbon standard during
the destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) performance test or its
equivalent.
(i) If a DRE test performed after March 30, 1998 is acceptable as
documentation of compliance with the DRE standard, you may use the
highest hourly rolling average hydrocarbon level achieved during those
DRE test runs to document compliance with the hydrocarbon standard. An
acceptable DRE test is a test that was used to support successful
issuance or reissuance of an operating permit under part 270 of this
chapter.
(ii) If during this acceptable DRE test you did not obtain
hydrocarbon emissions data sufficient to document compliance with the
hydrocarbon standard, you must either:
(A) Perform, as part of the performance test, an ``equivalent DRE
test'' to document compliance with the hydrocarbon standard. An
equivalent DRE test is comprised of a minimum of three runs each with a
minimum duration of one hour during which you operate the combustor as
close as reasonably possible to the operating parameter limits that you
established based on the initial DRE test. You must use the highest
hourly rolling average hydrocarbon emission level achieved during the
equivalent DRE test to document compliance with the hydrocarbon
standard; or (B) Perform a DRE test as part of the performance test.
(7) Compliance with the DRE standard. (i) Except as provided in
paragraphs (b)(7)(ii) and (b)(7)(iii) of this section:
(A) You must document compliance with the Destruction and Removal
Efficiency (DRE) standard under Secs. 63.1203 through 63.1205 only once
provided that you do not modify the source after the DRE test in a
manner that could affect the ability of the source to achieve the DRE
standard; and
(B) You may use DRE testing performed after March 30, 1998 for
purposes of issuance or reissuance of a RCRA permit under part 270 of
this chapter to document conformance with the DRE standard if you have
not modified the design or operation of the source since the DRE test
in a manner that could affect the ability of the source to achieve the
DRE standard.
(ii) For sources that feed hazardous waste at a location in the
combustion system other than the normal flame zone:
[[Page 53046]]
(A) You must demonstrate compliance with the DRE standard during
each comprehensive performance test; and
(B) You may use DRE testing performed after March 30, 1998 for
purposes of issuance or reissuance of a RCRA permit under part 270 of
this chapter to document conformance with the DRE standard in lieu of
DRE testing during the initial comprehensive performance test if you
have not modified the design or operation of the source since the DRE
test in a manner that could affect the ability of the source to achieve
the DRE standard.
(iii) For sources that do not use DRE testing performed prior to
the compliance date to document conformance with the DRE standard, you
must perform DRE testing during the initial comprehensive performance
test.
(8) Applicability of particulate matter and opacity standards
during particulate matter CEMS correlation tests. (i) Any particulate
matter and opacity standards of parts 60, 61, 63, 264, 265, and 266 of
this chapter (i.e., any title 40 particulate or opacity standards)
applicable to a hazardous waste combustor do not apply while you
conduct particulate matter continuous emissions monitoring system
(CEMS) correlation tests (i.e., correlation with manual stack methods)
under the conditions of paragraphs (b)(8)(iii) through (vii) of this
section.
(ii) Any permit or other emissions or operating parameter limits or
conditions, including any limitation on workplace practices, that are
applicable to hazardous waste combustors to ensure compliance with any
particulate matter and opacity standards of parts 60, 61, 63, 264, 265,
and 266 of this chapter (i.e., any title 40 particulate or opacity
standards) do not apply while you conduct particulate matter CEMS
correlation tests under the conditions of paragraphs (b)(8)(iii)
through (vii) of this section.
(iii) For the provisions of this section to apply, you must:
(A) Develop a particulate matter CEMS correlation test plan that
includes the following information. This test plan may be included as
part of the comprehensive performance test plan required under
Secs. 63.1207(e) and (f):
(1) Number of test conditions and number of runs for each test
condition;
(2) Target particulate matter emission level for each test
condition;
(3) How you plan to modify operations to attain the desired
particulate matter emission levels; and
(4) Anticipated normal particulate matter emission levels; and
(B) Submit the test plan to the Administrator for approval at least
90 calendar days before the correlation test is scheduled to be
conducted.
(iv) The Administrator will review and approve/disapprove the
correlation test plan under the procedures for review and approval of
the site-specific test plan provided by Sec. 63.7(c)(3)(i) and (iii).
If the Administrator fails to approve or disapprove the correlation
test plan within the time period specified by Sec. 63.7(c)(3)(i), the
plan is considered approved, unless the Administrator has requested
additional information.
(v) The particulate matter and opacity standards and associated
operating limits and conditions will not be waived for more than 96
hours, in the aggregate, for a correlation test, including all runs of
all test conditions.
(vi) The stack sampling team must be on-site and prepared to
perform correlation testing no later than 24 hours after you modify
operations to attain the desired particulate matter emissions
concentrations, unless you document in the correlation test plan that a
longer period of conditioning is appropriate.

this section:
(A) When any of the following are exceeded: Operating parameter
limits specified under Sec. 63.1209; an emission standard monitored by
a CEMS; and the allowable combustion chamber pressure;
(B) When the span value of any CMS detector, except a CEMS, is met
or exceeded;
(C) Upon malfunction of a CMS monitoring an operating parameter
limit specified under Sec. 63.1209 or an emission level; or
(D) When any component of the automatic waste feed cutoff system
fails.
(ii) Ducting of combustion gases. During an AWFCO, you must
continue to duct combustion gasses to the air pollution control system
while hazardous waste remains in the combustion chamber (i.e., if the
hazardous waste residence time has not transpired since the hazardous
waste feed cutoff system was activated).
(iii) Restarting waste feed. You must continue to monitor during
the cutoff the operating parameters for which limits are established
under Sec. 63.1209 and the emissions required under that section to be
monitored by a CEMS, and you must not restart the hazardous waste feed
until the operating parameters and emission levels are within the
specified limits.
(iv) Failure of the AWFCO system. If the AWFCO system fails to
automatically and immediately cutoff the flow of hazardous waste upon
exceedance of parameter required to be interlocked with the AWFCO
system under paragraph (c)(3)(i) of this section, you have failed to
comply with the AWFCO requirements of paragraph (c)(3) of this section.
(v) Corrective measures. If, after any AWFCO, there is an
exceedance of an emission standard or operating requirement,
irrespective of whether the exceedance occurred while hazardous waste
remained in the combustion chamber (i.e., whether the hazardous waste
residence time has transpired since the hazardous waste feed cutoff
system was activated), you must investigate the cause of the AWFCO,
take appropriate corrective measures to minimize future AWFCOs, and
record the findings and corrective measures in the operating record.
(vi) Excessive exceedance reporting. (A) For each set of 10
exceedances of an emission standard or operating requirement while
hazardous waste remains in the combustion chamber (i.e., when the
hazardous waste residence time has not transpired since the hazardous
waste feed was cutoff) during a 60-day block period, you must submit to
the Administrator a written report within 5 calendar days of the 10th
exceedance documenting the exceedances and results of the investigation
and corrective measures taken.
(B) On a case-by-case basis, the Administrator may require
excessive exceedance reporting when fewer than 10 exceedances occur
during a 60-day block period.
(vii) Testing. The AWFCO system and associated alarms must be
tested at least weekly to verify operability, unless you
[[Page 53049]]
document in the operating record that weekly inspections will unduly
restrict or upset operations and that less frequent inspection will be
adequate. At a minimum, you must conduct operability testing at least
monthly. You must document and record in the operating record AWFCO
operability test procedures and results.
(viii) Ramping down waste feed. (A) You may ramp down the waste
feedrate of pumpable hazardous waste over a period not to exceed one
minute, except as provided by paragraph (c)(3)(viii)(B) of this
section. If you elect to ramp down the waste feed, you must document
ramp down procedures in the operating and maintenance plan. The
procedures must specify that the ramp down begins immediately upon
initiation of automatic waste feed cutoff and the procedures must
prescribe a bona fide ramping down. If an emission standard or
operating limit is exceeded during the ramp down, you have failed to
comply with the emission standards or operating requirements of this
subpart.
(B) If the automatic waste feed cutoff is triggered by an
exceedance of any of the following operating limits, you may not ramp
down the waste feed cutoff: Minimum combustion chamber temperature,
maximum hazardous waste feedrate, or any hazardous waste firing system
operating limits that may be established for your combustor.
(4) ESV openings.--(i) Failure to meet standards. If an emergency
safety vent (ESV) opens when hazardous waste remains in the combustion
chamber (i.e., when the hazardous waste residence time has not
transpired since the hazardous waste feed cutoff system was activated)
such that combustion gases are not treated as during the most recent
comprehensive performance test (e.g., if the combustion gas by-passes
any emission control device that was operating during the performance
test), it is evidence of your failure to comply with the emission
standards of this subpart.
(ii) ESV operating plan. (A) You must develop an ESV operating
plan, comply with the operating plan, and keep the plan in the
operating record.
(B) The ESV operating plan must provide detailed procedures for
rapidly stopping the waste feed, shutting down the combustor, and
maintaining temperature and negative pressure in the combustion chamber
during the hazardous waste residence time, if feasible. The plan must
include calculations and information and data documenting the
effectiveness of the plan's procedures for ensuring that combustion
chamber temperature and negative pressure are maintained as is
reasonably feasible.
(iii) Corrective measures. After any ESV opening that results in a
failure to meet the emission standards as defined in paragraph
(c)(4)(i) of this section, you must investigate the cause of the ESV
opening, take appropriate corrective measures to minimize such future
ESV openings, and record the findings and corrective measures in the
operating record.
(iv) Reporting requirement. You must submit to the Administrator a
written report within 5 days of an ESV opening that results in failure
to meet the emission standards of this subpart (as defined in paragraph
(c)(4)(i) of this section) documenting the result of the investigation
and corrective measures taken.
(5) Combustion system leaks. (i) Combustion system leaks of
hazardous air pollutants must be controlled by:
(A) Keeping the combustion zone sealed to prevent combustion system
leaks; or
(B) Maintaining the maximum combustion zone pressure lower than
ambient pressure using an instantaneous monitor; or
(C) Upon prior written approval of the Administrator, an
alternative means of control to provide control of combustion system
leaks equivalent to maintenance of combustion zone pressure lower than
ambient pressure; and
(ii) You must specify in the operating record the method used for
control of combustion system leaks.
(6) Operator training and certification. (i) You must establish a
training and certification program for each person who has
responsibilities affecting operations that may affect emissions of
hazardous air pollutants from the source. Such persons include, but are
not limited to, chief facility operators, control room operators,
continuous monitoring system operators, persons that sample and analyze
feedstreams, persons that manage and charge feedstreams to the
combustor, persons that operate emission control devices, ash and waste
handlers, and maintenance personnel.
(ii) You must ensure that the source is operated and maintained at
all times by persons who are trained and certified to perform these and
any other duties that may affect emissions of hazardous air pollutants.
(iii) For hazardous waste incinerators, the training and
certification program must conform to a state-approved training and
certification program or, if there is no such state program, to the
American Society of Mechanical Engineers Standard Number QHO-1-1994.
(iv) For hazardous waste burning cement and lightweight aggregate
kilns, the training and certification program must be approved by the
state or the Administrator, and must be complete and reliable and
conform to principles of good operator and operating practices
(including training and certification).
(v) You must record the operator training and certification program
in the operating record.
(7) Operation and maintenance plan.--(i) General. (A) You must
prepare and at all times operate according to an operation and
maintenance plan that describes in detail procedures for operation,
inspection, maintenance, and corrective measures for all components of
the combustor, including associated pollution control equipment, that
could affect emissions of regulated hazardous air pollutants.
(B) The plan must prescribe how you will operate and maintain the
combustor in a manner consistent with good air pollution control
practices for minimizing emissions at least to the levels achieved
during the comprehensive performance test.
(C) This plan ensures compliance with the operation and maintenance
requirements of Sec. 63.6(e) and minimizes emissions of pollutants,
automatic waste feed cutoffs, and malfunctions.
(D) You must record the plan in the operating record.
(ii) Requirements for baghouses at lightweight aggregate kilns and
incinerators. If you own or operate a hazardous waste incinerator or
hazardous waste burning lightweight aggregate kiln equipped with a
baghouse (fabric filter), you must prepare and at all times operate
according to an operations and maintenance plan that describes in
detail procedures for inspection, maintenance, and bag leak detection
and corrective measures for each baghouse used to comply with the
standards under this subpart.
(A) The operation and maintenance plan for baghouses must be
submitted to the Administrator with the initial comprehensive
performance test plan for review and approval.
(B) The procedures specified in the operations and maintenance plan
for inspections and routine maintenance of a baghouse must, at a
minimum, include the following requirements:

(4) The bag leak detection system shall be installed and operated
in a manner consistent with available written guidance from the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency or, in the absence of such written
guidance, the manufacturer's written specifications and recommendations
for installation, operation, and adjustment of the system;
(5) The initial adjustment of the system shall, at a minimum,
consist of establishing the baseline output by adjusting the
sensitivity (range) and the averaging period of the device, and
establishing the alarm set points and the alarm delay time;
(6) Following initial adjustment, you must not adjust the
sensitivity or range, averaging period, alarm set points, or alarm
delay time, except as detailed in the operation and maintenance plan
required under paragraph (c)(7)(ii)(A) of this section. You must not
increase the sensitivity by more than 100 percent or decrease the
sensitivity by more than 50 percent over a 365 day period unless such
adjustment follows a complete baghouse inspection which demonstrates
the baghouse is in good operating condition;
(7) For negative pressure or induced air baghouses, and positive
pressure baghouses that are discharged to the atmosphere through a
stack, the bag leak detector must be installed downstream of the
baghouse and upstream of any wet acid gas scrubber; and
(8) Where multiple detectors are required, the system's
instrumentation and alarm system may be shared among the detectors.
(E) The operation and maintenance plan required by paragraph
(c)(7)(ii) of this section must include a corrective measures plan that
specifies the procedures you will follow in the case of a bag leak
detection system alarm. The corrective measures plan must include, at a
minimum, the procedures used to determine and record the time and cause
of the alarm as well as the corrective measures taken to correct the
control device malfunction or minimize emissions as specified below.
Failure to initiate the corrective measures required by this paragraph
is failure to ensure compliance with the emission standards in this
subpart.
(1) You must initiate the procedures used to determine the cause of
the alarm within 30 minutes of the time the alarm first sounds; and
(2) You must alleviate the cause of the alarm by taking the

Sec. 63.1207 What are the performance testing requirements?
(a) General. The provisions of Sec. 63.7 apply, except as noted
below.
(b) Types of performance tests--(1) Comprehensive performance test.
You must conduct comprehensive performance tests to demonstrate
compliance with the emission standards provided by Secs. 63.1203,
63.1204, and 63.1205, establish limits for the operating parameters
provided by Sec. 63.1209, and demonstrate compliance with the
performance specifications for continuous monitoring systems.
(2) Confirmatory performance test. You must conduct confirmatory
performance tests to:
(i) Demonstrate compliance with the dioxin/furan emission standard
when the source operates under normal operating conditions; and
(ii) Conduct a performance evaluation of continuous monitoring
systems required for compliance assurance with the dioxin/furan
emission standard under Sec. 63.1209(k).
(c) Initial comprehensive performance test--(1) Test date. Except
as provided by paragraph (c)(2) of this section, you must commence the
initial comprehensive performance test not later than six months after
the compliance date.
(2) Data in lieu of the initial comprehensive performance test. (i)
You may request that previous emissions test data serve as
documentation of conformance with the emission standards of this
subpart provided that the previous testing was:
(A) Initiated after March 30, 1998;
(B) For the purpose of demonstrating emissions under a RCRA permit
issuance or reissuance proceeding under part 270 of this chapter;
(C) In conformance with the requirements of paragraph (g)(1) of
this section; and
(D) Sufficient to establish the applicable operating parameter
limits under Sec. 63.1209.
(ii) You must submit data in lieu of the initial comprehensive
performance test in lieu of (i.e., if the data are in lieu of all
performance testing) or with the notification of performance test
required under paragraph (e) of this section.
(d) Frequency of testing. You must conduct testing periodically as
prescribed in paragraphs (d)(1) through (3) of this section. The date
of commencement of the initial comprehensive performance test is the
basis for establishing the deadline to commence the initial
confirmatory performance test and the next
[[Page 53051]]
comprehensive performance test. You may conduct performance testing at
any time prior to the required date. The deadline for commencing
subsequent confirmatory and comprehensive performance testing is based
on the date of commencement of the previous comprehensive performance
test. Unless the Administrator grants a time extension under paragraph
(i) of this section, you must conduct testing as follows:
(1) Comprehensive performance testing. You must commence testing no
later than 61 months after the date of commencing the previous
comprehensive performance test. If you submit data in lieu of the
initial performance test, you must commence the subsequent
comprehensive performance test within 61 months of the date six months
after the compliance date.
(2) Confirmatory performance testing. You must commence
confirmatory performance testing no later than 31 months after the date
of commencing the previous comprehensive performance test. If you
submit data in lieu of the initial performance test, you must commence
the initial confirmatory performance test within 31 months of the date
six months after the compliance date. To ensure that the confirmatory
test is conducted approximately midway between comprehensive
performance tests, the Administrator will not approve a test plan that
schedules testing within 18 months of commencing the previous
comprehensive performance test.
(3) Duration of testing. You must complete performance testing
within 60 days after the date of commencement, unless the Administrator
determines that a time extension is warranted based on your
documentation in writing of factors beyond your control that prevent
you from meeting the 60-day deadline.
(e) Notification of performance test and CMS performance
evaluation, and approval of test plan and CMS performance evaluation
plan. (1) The provisions of Sec. 63.7(b) and (c) and Sec. 63.8(e)
apply, except:
(i) Comprehensive performance test. You must submit to the
Administrator a notification of your intention to conduct a
comprehensive performance test and CMS performance evaluation and a
site-specific test plan and CMS performance evaluation plan at least
one year before the performance test and performance evaluation are
scheduled to begin.
(A) The Administrator will notify you of approval or intent to deny
approval of the test plan and CMS performance evaluation plan within 9
months after receipt of the original plan.
(B) You must submit to the Administrator a notification of your
intention to conduct the comprehensive performance test at least 60
calendar days before the test is scheduled to begin.
(ii) Confirmatory performance test. You must submit to the
Administrator a notification of your intention to conduct a
confirmatory performance test and CMS performance evaluation and a test
plan and CMS performance evaluation plan at least 60 calendar days
before the performance test is scheduled to begin. The Administrator
will notify you of approval or intent to deny approval of the test and
CMS performance evaluation plans within 30 calendar days after receipt
of the original plans.
(2) After the Administrator has approved the test and CMS
performance evaluation plans, you must make the plans available to the
public for review. You must issue a public notice announcing the
approval of the plans and the location where the plans are available
for review.
(f) Content of performance test plan. The provisions of
Secs. 63.7(c)(2)(i)-(iii) and (v) regarding the content of the test
plan apply. In addition, you must include the following information in
the test plan:

exclude from analysis and explain the basis for excluding them. You
must conduct the feedstream analysis according to Sec. 63.1208(g);
(B) An approximate quantification of such identified organic
hazardous air pollutants in the feedstreams, within the precision
produced by the analytical procedures of Sec. 63.1208(g); and

emission standard;
(viii) A description of, and planned operating conditions for, any
emission control equipment that will be used;
(ix) Procedures for rapidly stopping the hazardous waste feed and
controlling emissions in the event of an equipment malfunction; and
(x) Such other information as the Administrator reasonably finds
necessary to determine whether to approve the confirmatory test plan.
(g) Operating conditions during testing. You must comply with the
provisions of Sec. 63.7(e). Conducting performance testing under
operating conditions representative of the extreme range of normal
conditions is consistent with the requirement of Sec. 63.7(e)(1) to
conduct performance testing under representative operating conditions.
(1) Comprehensive performance testing.--(i) Operations during
testing. For the following parameters, you must operate the combustor
during the performance test under normal conditions (or conditions that
will result in higher than normal emissions):
(A) Chlorine feedrate. You must feed normal (or higher) levels of
chlorine during the dioxin/furan performance test;
(B) Ash feedrate. For hazardous waste incinerators, you must
conduct the following tests when feeding normal (or higher) levels of
ash: The semivolatile metal and low volatile metal performance tests;
and the dioxin/furan and mercury performance tests if activated carbon
injection or a carbon bed is used; and
(C) Cleaning cycle of the particulate matter control device. You
must conduct the following tests when the particulate matter control
device undergoes its normal (or more frequent) cleaning cycle: The
particulate matter, semivolatile metal, and low volatile metal
performance tests; and the dioxin/furan and mercury performance tests
if activated carbon injection or a carbon bed is used.
(ii) Modes of operation. Given that you must establish limits for
the applicable operating parameters specified in Sec. 63.1209 based on
operations during the comprehensive performance test, you may conduct
testing under two or more operating modes to provide operating
flexibility.
(iii) Steady-state conditions. (A) Prior to obtaining performance
test data, you must operate under performance test conditions until you
reach steady-state operations with respect to emissions of pollutants
you must measure during the performance test and operating parameters
under Sec. 63.1209 for which you must establish limits. During system
conditioning, you must ensure that each operating parameter for which
you must establish a limit is held at the level planned for the
performance test. You must include documentation in the performance
test plan under paragraph (f) of this section justifying the duration
of system conditioning.
(B) If you own or operate a hazardous waste cement kiln that
recycles collected particulate matter (i.e., cement kiln dust) into the
kiln, you must sample and analyze the recycled particulate matter prior
to obtaining performance test data for levels of selected metals that
must be measured during performance testing to document that the system
has reached steady-state conditions (i.e., that metals levels have
stabilized). You must document the rationale for selecting metals that
are indicative of system equilibrium and include the information in the
performance test plan under paragraph (f) of this section. To determine
system equilibrium, you must sample and analyze the recycled
particulate matter hourly for each selected metal, unless you submit in
the performance test plan a justification for reduced sampling and
analysis and the Administrator approves in writing a reduced sampling
and analysis frequency.
(2) Confirmatory performance testing. You must conduct confirmatory
performance testing for dioxin/furan under normal operating conditions
for the following parameters:
(i) Carbon monoxide (or hydrocarbon) CEMS emission levels must be
within the range of the average value to the maximum value allowed. The
average value is defined as the sum of the hourly rolling average
values recorded (each minute) over the previous 12 months divided by
the number of rolling averages recorded during that time;
(ii) Each operating limit (specified in Sec. 63.1209) established
to maintain compliance with the dioxin/furan emission standard must be
held within the range of the average value over the previous 12 months
and the maximum or minimum, as appropriate, that is allowed. The
average value is defined as the sum of the rolling average values
recorded over the previous 12 months divided by the number of rolling
averages recorded during that time. The average value must not include
calibration data, malfunction data, and data obtained when not burning
hazardous waste;
(iii) You must feed chlorine at normal feedrates or greater; and
(iv) If the
[[Page 53053]]
combustor is equipped with carbon injection or carbon bed, normal
cleaning cycle of the particulate matter control device.
(h) Operating conditions during subsequent testing. (1) Current
operating parameter limits established under Sec. 63.1209 are waived
during subsequent comprehensive performance testing under an approved
test plan.
(2) Current operating parameter limits are also waived during
pretesting prescribed in the approved test plan prior to comprehensive
performance testing for an aggregate time not to exceed 720 hours of
operation. Pretesting means:
(i) Operations when stack emissions testing for dioxin/furan,
mercury, semivolatile metals, low volatile metals, particulate matter,
or hydrochloric acid/chlorine gas is being performed; and
(ii) Operations to reach steady-state operating conditions prior to
stack emissions testing under paragraph (g)(1)(iii) of this section.
(i) Time extension for subsequent performance tests. After the
initial comprehensive performance test, you may request up to a one-
year time extension for conducting a comprehensive or confirmatory
performance test to consolidate performance testing with other state or
federally required emission testing, or for other reasons deemed
acceptable by the Administrator. If the Administrator grants a time
extension for a comprehensive performance test, the deadlines for
commencing the next comprehensive and confirmatory tests are based on
the date that the subject comprehensive performance test commences.
(1) You must submit in writing to the Administrator any request
under this paragraph for a time extension for conducting a performance
test.
(2) You must include in the request for an extension for conducting
a performance test the following:
(i) A description of the reasons for requesting the time extension;
(ii) The date by which you will commence performance testing.
(3) The Administrator will notify you in writing of approval or
intention to deny approval of your request for an extension for
conducting a performance test within 30 calendar days after receipt of
sufficient information to evaluate your request. The 30-day approval or
denial period will begin after you have been notified in writing that
your application is complete. The Administrator will notify you in
writing whether the application contains sufficient information to make
a determination within 30 calendar days after receipt of the original
application and within 30 calendar days after receipt of any
supplementary information that you submit.
(4) When notifying you that your application is not complete, the
Administrator will specify the information needed to complete the
application. The Administrator will also provide notice of opportunity
for you to present, in writing, within 30 calendar days after
notification of the incomplete application, additional information or
arguments to the Administrator to enable further action on the
application.
(5) Before denying any request for an extension for performance
testing, the Administrator will notify you in writing of the
Administrator's intention to issue the denial, together with:
(i) Notice of the information and findings on which the intended
denial is based; and
(ii) Notice of opportunity for you to present in writing, within 15
calendar days after notification of the intended denial, additional
information or arguments to the Administrator before further action on
the request.
(6) The Administrator's final determination to deny any request for
an extension will be in writing and will set forth specific grounds
upon which the denial is based. The final determination will be made
within 30 calendar days after the presentation of additional
information or argument (if the application is complete), or within 30
calendar days after the final date specified for the presentation if no
presentation is made.
(j) Notification of compliance.--(1) Comprehensive performance
test. (i) Except as provided by paragraph (j)(4) of this section,
within 90 days of completion of a comprehensive performance test, you
must postmark a Notification of Compliance documenting compliance or
noncompliance with the emission standards and continuous monitoring
system requirements, and identifying operating parameter limits under
Sec. 3.1209.
(ii) Upon postmark of the Notification of Compliance, you must
comply with all operating requirements specified in the Notification of
Compliance in lieu of the limits specified in the Documentation of
Compliance required under Sec. 63.1211(d).
(2) Confirmatory performance test. Except as provided by paragraph
(j)(4) of this section, within 90 days of completion of a confirmatory
performance test, you must postmark a Notification of Compliance
documenting compliance or noncompliance with the applicable dioxin/
furan emission standard.
(3) See Secs. 63.7(g), 63.9(h), and 63.1210(d) for additional
requirements pertaining to the Notification of Compliance (e.g., you
must include results of performance tests in the Notification of
Compliance).
(4) Time extension. You may submit a written request to the
Administrator for a time extension documenting that, for reasons beyond
your control, you may not be able to meet the 90-day deadline for
submitting the Notification of Compliance after completion of testing.
The Administrator will determine whether a time extension is warranted.
(k) Failure to submit a timely notification of compliance. (1) If
you fail to postmark a Notification of Compliance by the specified
date, you must cease hazardous waste burning immediately.
(2) Prior to submitting a revised Notification of Compliance as
provided by paragraph (k)(3) of this section, you may burn hazardous
waste only for the purpose of pretesting or comprehensive performance
testing and only for a maximum of 720 hours (renewable at the
discretion of the Administrator).
(3) You must submit to the Administrator a Notification of
Compliance subsequent to a new comprehensive performance test before
resuming hazardous waste burning.
(l) Failure of performance test.--(1) Comprehensive performance
test. (i) If you determine (based on CEM recordings, results of
analyses of stack samples, or results of CMS performance evaluations)
that you have exceeded any emission standard during a comprehensive
performance test for a mode of operation, you must cease hazardous
waste burning immediately under that mode of operation. You must make
this determination within 90 days following completion of the
performance test.
(ii) If you have failed to demonstrate compliance with the emission
standards for any mode of operation:
(A) Prior to submitting a revised Notification of Compliance as
provided by paragraph (l)(1)(ii)(C) of this section, you may burn

recordings, results of analyses of stack samples, or results of CMS
performance evaluations) that you have failed the dioxin/furan emission
standard during a confirmatory performance test, you must cease burning
hazardous waste immediately. You must make this determination within 90
days following completion of the performance test. To burn hazardous
waste in the future:
(i) You must submit to the Administrator for review and approval a
test plan to conduct a comprehensive performance test to identify
revised limits on the applicable dioxin/furan operating parameters
specified in Sec. 63.1209(k);
(ii) You must submit to the Administrator a Notification of
Compliance with the dioxin/furan emission standard under the provisions

the applicable dioxin/furan operating parameters specified in
Sec. 63.1209(k); and
(iii) Until the Notification of Compliance is submitted, you must
not burn hazardous waste except for purposes of pretesting or
confirmatory performance testing, and for a maximum of 720 hours
(renewable at the discretion of the Administrator), except as provided
by paragraph (l)(3) of this section.
(3) You may petition the Administrator to obtain written approval
to burn hazardous waste in the interim prior to submitting a
Notification of Compliance for purposes other than testing or
pretesting. You must specify operating requirements, including limits
on operating parameters, that you determine will ensure compliance with
the emission standards of this subpart based on available information
including data from the failed performance test. The Administrator will
review, modify as necessary, and approve if warranted the interim
operating requirements. An approval of interim operating requirements
will include a schedule for submitting a Notification of Compliance.
(m) Waiver of performance test. (1) The waiver provision of this
paragraph applies in addition to the provisions of Sec. 63.7(h).
(2) You are not required to conduct performance tests to document
compliance with the mercury, semivolatile metal, low volatile metal or
hydrochloric acid/chlorine gas emission standards under the conditions
specified below. You are deemed to be in compliance with an emission
standard if the twelve-hour rolling average maximum theoretical
emission concentration (MTEC) determined as specified below does not
exceed the emission standard:
(i) Determine the feedrate of mercury, semivolatile metals, low
volatile metals, or total chlorine and chloride from all feedstreams;
(ii) Determine the stack gas flowrate; and
(iii) Calculate a MTEC for each standard assuming all mercury,
semivolatile metals, low volatile metals, or total chlorine (organic
and inorganic) from all feedstreams is emitted;
(3) To document compliance with this provision, you must:
(i) Monitor and record the feedrate of mercury, semivolatile
metals, low volatile metals, and total chlorine and chloride from all
feedstreams according to Sec. 63.1209(c);
(ii) Monitor with a CMS and record in the operating record the gas
flowrate (either directly or by monitoring a surrogate parameter that
you have correlated to gas flowrate);
(iii) Continuously calculate and record in the operating record the
MTEC under the procedures of paragraph (m)(2) of this section; and
(iv) Interlock the MTEC calculated in paragraph (m)(2)(iii) of this
section to the AWFCO system to stop hazardous waste burning when the
MTEC exceeds the emission standard.
(4) In lieu of the requirement in paragraphs (m)(3)(iii) and (iv)
of this section, you may:
(i) Identify in the notification of compliance a minimum gas
flowrate limit and a maximum feedrate limit of mercury, semivolatile
metals, low volatile metals, and/or total chlorine and chloride from
all feedstreams that ensures the MTEC as calculated in paragraph
(m)(2)(iii) of this section is below the applicable emission standard;
and
(ii) Interlock the minimum gas flowrate limit and maximum feedrate
limit in paragraph (m)(3)(iv) of this section to the AWFCO system to
stop hazardous waste burning when the gas flowrate or mercury,
semivolatile metals, low volatile metals, and/or total chlorine and
chloride feedrate exceeds the limit in paragraph (m)(4)(i) of this
section.
(5) When you determine the feedrate of mercury, semivolatile
metals, low volatile metals, or total chlorine and chloride for
purposes of this provision, except as provided by paragraph (m)(6) of
this section, you must assume that the analyte is present at the full
detection limit when the feedstream analysis determines that the
analyte is not detected in the feedstream.
(6) Owners and operators of hazardous waste burning cement kilns
and lightweight aggregate kilns may assume that mercury is present in
raw material at half the detection limit when the raw material
feedstream analysis determines that mercury is not detected.
(7) You must state in the site-specific test plan that you submit
for review and approval under paragraph (e) of this section that you
intend to comply with the provisions of this paragraph. You must
include in the test plan documentation that any surrogate that is
proposed for gas flowrate adequately correlates with the gas flowrate.
(n) Feedrate limits for nondetectable constituents. (1) You must
establish separate semivolatile metal, low volatile metal, mercury, and
total chlorine (organic and inorganic), and/or ash feedrate limits for
each feedstream for which the comprehensive performance test feedstream
analysis determines that these constituents are not present at
detectable levels.
(2) You must define the feedrate limits established under paragraph
(n)(1) of this section as nondetect at the full detection limit
achieved during the performance test.
(3) You will not be deemed to be in violation of the feedrate limit
established in paragraph (n)(2) of this section when detectable levels
of the constituent are measured, whether at levels above or below the
full detection limit achieved during the performance test, provided
that:
(i) Your total feedrate for that constituent, including the
detectable levels in the feedstream which is limited to nondetect
levels, is below your feedrate limit for that constituent; or
(ii) Except for ash, your maximum theoretical emission
concentration (MTEC) for the constituent (i.e., semivolatile metal, low
volatile metal, mercury, and/or hydrochloric acid/chlorine gas)
calculated according to paragraph (m) of this section, and considering
the contribution from all feedstreams including the detectable levels
in the feedstream which is limited to nondetect levels, is below the
emission standard in Secs. 63.1203, 63.1204, and 63.1205.

this chapter.
Sec. 63.1209 What are the monitoring requirements?
(a) Continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS) and continuous
opacity monitoring systems (COMS). (1)(i) You must use a CEMS to
demonstrate and monitor compliance with the carbon monoxide and
hydrocarbon standards under this subpart. You must also use an oxygen
CEMS to continuously correct the carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon levels
to 7 percent oxygen.
(ii) For cement kilns, except as provided by paragraphs (a)(1)(iv)

sources including the bypass stack of a preheater or preheater/
precalciner kiln with dual stacks.
(A) You must maintain and operate each COMS in accordance with the
requirements of Sec. 63.8(c) except for the requirements under
Sec. 63.8(c)(3). The requirements of Sec. 63.1211(d) shall be complied
with instead of Sec. 63.8(c)(3); and
(B) Compliance is based on six-minute block average.
(iii) You must install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a
particulate matter CEMS to demonstrate and monitor compliance with the
particulate matter standards under this subpart. However, compliance
with the requirements in their section to install, calibrate, maintain
and operate the PM CEMS is not required until such time that the Agency
promulgates all performance specifications and operational requirements
applicable to PM CEMS.
(iv) If you operate a cement kiln subject to the provisions of this
subpart and use a fabric filter with multiple stacks or an
electrostatic precipitator with multiple stacks, you may, in lieu of
installing the COMS required by paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section,
comply with the opacity standard in accordance with the procedures of
Method 9 to part 60 of this chapter:
(A) You must conduct the Method 9 test while the affected source is
operating at the highest load or capacity level reasonably expected to
occur within the day;
(B) The duration of the Method 9 test shall be at least 30 minutes
each day;
(C) You must use the Method 9 procedures to monitor and record the
average opacity for each six-minute block period during the test; and
(D) To remain in compliance, all six-minute block averages must not

(v) If you operate a cement kiln subject to the provisions of this
subpart and use a particulate matter control device that exhausts
through a monovent, or if the use of a COMS in accordance with the
installation specification of Performance Specification 1 (PS-1) of
appendix B to part 60 of this chapter is not feasible, you may, in lieu
of installing the COMS required by paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this
section, comply with the opacity standard in accordance with the
procedures of Method 9 to part 60 of this chapter:
(A) You must conduct the Method 9 test while the affected source is
operating at the highest load or capacity level reasonably expected to
occur within the day;
(B) The duration of the Method 9 test shall be at least 30 minutes
each day;

[[Page 53056]]
average opacity for each six-minute block period during the test; and
(D) To remain in compliance, all six-minute block averages must not
exceed the opacity standard under Secs. 63.1204(a)(7) and (b)(7).
(2) Performance specifications. You must install, calibrate,
maintain, and continuously operate the CEMS and COMS in compliance with
the quality assurance procedures provided in the appendix to this
subpart and Performance Specifications 1 (opacity), 4B (carbon monoxide
and oxygen), and 8A (hydrocarbons) in appendix B, part 60 of this
chapter.
(3) Carbon monoxide readings exceeding the span. (i) Except as
provided by paragraph (a)(3)(ii) of this section, if a carbon monoxide
CEMS detects a response that results in a one-minute average at or
above the 3,000 ppmv span level required by Performance Specification
4B in appendix B, part 60 of this chapter, the one-minute average must
be recorded as 10,000 ppmv. The one-minute 10,000 ppmv value must be
used for calculating the hourly rolling average carbon monoxide level.
(ii) Carbon monoxide CEMS that use a span value of 10,000 ppmv when
one-minute carbon monoxide levels are equal to or exceed 3,000 ppmv are
not subject to paragraph (a)(3)(i) of this section. Carbon monoxide
CEMS that use a span value of 10,000 are subject to the same CEMS
performance and equipment specifications when operating in the range of
3,000 ppmv to 10,000 ppmv that are provided by Performance
Specification 4B for other carbon monoxide CEMS, except:
(A) Calibration drift must be less than 300 ppmv; and
(B) Calibration error must be less than 500 ppmv.
(4) Hydrocarbon readings exceeding the span. (i) Except as provided
by paragraph (a)(4)(ii) of this section, if a hydrocarbon CEMS detects
a response that results in a one-minute average at or above the 100
ppmv span level required by Performance Specification 8A in appendix B,
part 60 of this chapter, the one-minute average must be recorded as 500
ppmv. The one-minute 500 ppmv value must be used for calculating the
hourly rolling average HC level.
(ii) Hydrocarbon CEMS that use a span value of 500 ppmv when one-
minute hydrocarbon levels are equal to or exceed 100 ppmv are not
subject to paragraph (a)(4)(i) of this section. Hydrocarbon CEMS that
use a span value of 500 ppmv are subject to the same CEMS performance
and equipment specifications when operating in the range of 100 ppmv to
500 ppmv that are provided by Performance Specification 8A for other
hydrocarbon CEMS, except:
(A) The zero and high-level calibration gas must have a hydrocarbon
level of between 0 and 100 ppmv, and between 250 and 450 ppmv,
respectively;
(B) The strip chart recorder, computer, or digital recorder must be
capable of recording all readings within the CEM measurement range and
must have a resolution of 2.5 ppmv;
(C) The CEMS calibration must not differ by more than
15 ppmv after each 24-hour period of the seven day test at
both zero and high levels;
(D) The calibration error must be no greater than 25 ppmv; and
(E) The zero level, mid-level, and high level calibration gas used
to determine calibration error must have a hydrocarbon level of 0-200
ppmv, 150-200 ppmv, and 350-400 ppmv, respectively.
(5) Petitions to use CEMS for other standards. You may petition the
Administrator to use CEMS for compliance monitoring for particulate
matter, mercury, semivolatile metals, low volatile metals, and
hydrochloric acid/chlorine gas under Sec. 63.8(f) in lieu of compliance
with the corresponding operating parameter limits under this section.
(6) Calculation of rolling averages.--(i) Calculation of rolling
averages initially. The carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon CEMS must begin
recording one-minute average values by 12:01 am and hourly rolling
average values by 1:01 am, when 60 one-minute values will be available
for calculating the initial hourly rolling average.
(ii) Calculation of rolling averages upon intermittent operations.
You must ignore periods of time when one-minute values are not
available for calculating the hourly rolling average. When one-minute
values become available again, the first one-minute value is added to
the previous 59 values to calculate the hourly rolling average.
(iii) Calculation of rolling averages when the hazardous waste feed
is cutoff. (A) Except as provided by paragraph (a)(6)(iii)(B) of this
section, you must continue to monitoring carbon monoxide and
hydrocarbon when the hazardous waste feed is cutoff if the source is
operating. You must not resume feeding hazardous waste if the emission
levels exceed the standard.
(B) You are not subject to the CEMS requirements of this subpart
during periods of time you meet the requirements of
Sec. 63.1206(b)(1)(ii) (compliance with emissions standards for
nonhazardous waste burning sources when you are not burning hazardous
waste).
(7) Operating parameter limits for hydrocarbons. If you elect to
comply with the carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emission standards by
continuously monitoring carbon monoxide with a CEMS, you must
demonstrate that hydrocarbon emissions during the comprehensive
performance test do not exceed the hydrocarbon emissions standard. In
addition, the limits you establish on the destruction and removal
efficiency (DRE) operating parameters required under paragraph (j) of
this section also ensure that you maintain compliance with the
hydrocarbon emission standard. If you do not conduct the hydrocarbon
demonstration and DRE tests concurrently, you must establish separate
operating parameter limits under paragraph (j) of this section based on
each test and the more restrictive of the operating parameter limits
applies.
(b) Other continuous monitoring systems (CMS). (1) You must use CMS
(e.g., thermocouples, pressure transducers, flow meters) to document
compliance with the applicable operating parameter limits under this
section.
(2) Except as specified in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (ii) of
this section, you must install and operate non-CMS in conformance with
Sec. 63.8(c)(3) that requires you, at a minimum, to comply with the
manufacturer's written specifications or recommendations for
installation, operation, and calibration of the system:
(i) Calibration of thermocouples. The calibration of a thermocouple
or other temperature sensor must be verified at least once every three
months; and
(ii) Accuracy and calibration of weight measurement devices. The
accuracy of weight measurement devices used to monitor flowrate of a
feedstream (e.g., activated carbon feedrate, sorbent feedrate,
nonpumpable waste) must be 1 percent of the weight being
measured. The calibration of the device must be verified at least once
every three months.
(3) CMS must sample the regulated parameter without interruption,
and evaluate the detector response at least once each 15 seconds, and
compute and record the average values at least every 60 seconds.
(4) The span of the non-CEMS CMS detector must not be exceeded. You
must interlock the span limits into the automatic waste feed cutoff
system required by Sec. 63.1206(c)(3).
(5) Calculation of rolling averages.--(i) Calculation of rolling
averages
[[Page 53057]]
initially. Continuous monitoring systems must begin recording one-
minute average values at 12:01 am on the compliance data and begin
recording rolling averages when enough one-minute average values are
available to calculate the required rolling average (e.g., when 60 one-
minute averages are available to calculate an hourly rolling average;
when 720 one-minute averages are available to calculate a 12-hour
rolling average).
(ii) Calculation of rolling averages upon intermittent operations.
You must ignore periods of time when one-minute values are not
available for calculating rolling averages. When one-minute values
become available again, the first one-minute value is added to the
previous one-minute values to calculate rolling averages.
(iii) Calculation of rolling averages when the hazardous waste feed
is cutoff. (A) Except as provided by paragraph (b)(5)(iii)(B) of this
section, you must continue to monitoring operating parameter limits
with a CMS when the hazardous waste feed is cutoff if the source is
operating. You must not resume feeding hazardous waste if an operating
parameter exceeds its limit.
(B) You are not subject to the CMS requirements of this subpart
during periods of time you meet the requirements of
Sec. 63.1206(b)(1)(ii) (compliance with emissions standards for
nonhazardous waste burning sources when you are not burning hazardous
waste).
(c) Analysis of feedstreams.--(1) General. Prior to feeding the
material, you must obtain an analysis of each feedstream that is
sufficient to document compliance with the applicable feedrate limits
provided by this section.
(2) Feedstream analysis plan. You must develop and implement a
feedstream analysis plan and record it in the operating record. The
plan must specify at a minimum:
(i) The parameters for which you will analyze each feedstream to
ensure compliance with the operating parameter limits of this section;
(ii) Whether you will obtain the analysis by performing sampling
and analysis or by other methods, such as using analytical information
obtained from others or using other published or documented data or
information;
(iii) How you will use the analysis to document compliance with
applicable feedrate limits (e.g., if you blend hazardous wastes and
obtain analyses of the wastes prior to blending but not of the blended,
as-fired, waste, the plan must describe how you will determine the
pertinent parameters of the blended waste);
(iv) The test methods which you will use to obtain the analyses;
(v) The sampling method which you will use to obtain a
representative sample of each feedstream to be analyzed using sampling
methods described in appendix I, part 26, of this chapter, or an
equivalent method; and
(vi) The frequency with which you will review or repeat the initial
analysis of the feedstream to ensure that the analysis is accurate and
up to date.
(3) Review and approval of analysis plan. You must submit the
feedstream analysis plan to the Administrator for review and approval,
if requested.
(4) Compliance with feedrate limits. To comply with the applicable
feedrate limits of this section, you must monitor and record feedrates
as follows:
(i) Determine and record the value of the parameter for each
feedstream by sampling and analysis or other method;
(ii) Determine and record the mass or volume flowrate of each
feedstream by a CMS. If you determine flowrate of a feedstream by
volume, you must determine and record the density of the feedstream by
sampling and analysis (unless you report the constituent concentration
in units of weight per unit volume (e.g., mg/l)); and
(iii) Calculate and record the mass feedrate of the parameter per
unit time.
(5) Waiver of monitoring of constituents in certain feedstreams.
You are not required to monitor levels of metals or chlorine in the
following feedstreams to document compliance with the feedrate limits
under this section provided that you document in the comprehensive
performance test plan the expected levels of the constituent in the
feedstream and account for those assumed feedrate levels in documenting
compliance with feedrate limits: natural gas, process air, and
feedstreams from vapor recovery systems.
(d) Performance evaluations. (1) The requirements of Secs. 63.8(d)
(Quality control program) and (e) (Performance evaluation of continuous
monitoring systems) apply, except that you must conduct performance
evaluations of components of the CMS under the frequency and procedures
(for example, submittal of performance evaluation test plan for review
and approval) applicable to performance tests as provided by
Sec. 63.1207.
(2) You must comply with the quality assurance procedures for CEMS
prescribed in the appendix to this subpart.
(e) Conduct of monitoring. The provisions of Sec. 63.8(b) apply.
(f) Operation and maintenance of continuous monitoring systems. The
provisions of Sec. 63.8(c) apply except:
(1) Section 63.8(c)(3). The requirements of Sec. 63.1211(d), that
requires CMSs to be installed, calibrated, and operational on the
compliance date, shall be complied with instead of section 63.8(c)(3);
(2) Section 63.8(c)(4)(ii). The performance specifications for
carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon, and oxygen CEMSs in subpart B, part 60 of
this chapter that requires detectors to measure the sample
concentration at least once every 15 seconds for calculating an average
emission rate once every 60 seconds shall be complied with instead of
section 63.8(c)(4)(ii); and
(3) Sections 63.8(c)(4)(i), (c)(5), and (c)(7)(i)(C) pertaining to
COMS apply only to owners and operators of hazardous waste burning
cement kilns..
(g) Alternative monitoring requirements other than continuous
emissions monitoring systems (CEMS).--(1) Requests to use alternative
methods. (i) You may submit an application to the Administrator under
this paragraph for approval of alternative monitoring requirements to
document compliance with the emission standards of this subpart. For
requests to use additional CEMS, however, you must use paragraph (a)(5)
of this section and Sec. 63.8(f).
(A) The Administrator will not approve averaging periods for
operating parameter limits longer than specified in this section unless
you document using data or information that the longer averaging period
will ensure that emissions do not exceed levels achieved during the
comprehensive performance test over any increment of time equivalent to
the time required to conduct three runs of the performance test.
(B) If the Administrator approves the application to use an
alternative monitoring requirement, you must continue to use that
alternative monitoring requirement until you receive approval under
this paragraph to use another monitoring requirement.
(ii) You may submit an application to waive an operating parameter
limit specified in this section based on documentation that neither
that operating parameter limit nor an alternative operating parameter
limit is needed to ensure compliance with the emission standards of
this subpart.
(iii) You must comply with the following procedures for
applications submitted under paragraphs (g)(1)(i) and (ii) of this
section:
[[Page 53058]]
(A) Timing of the application. You must submit the application to
the Administrator not later than with the comprehensive performance
test plan.
(B) Content of the application. You must include in the
application:
(1) Data or information justifying your request for an alternative
monitoring requirement (or for a waiver of an operating parameter
limit), such as the technical or economic infeasibility or the
impracticality of using the required approach;
(2) A description of the proposed alternative monitoring
requirement, including the operating parameter to be monitored, the
monitoring approach/technique (e.g., type of detector, monitoring
location), the averaging period for the limit, and how the limit is to
be calculated; and
(3) Data or information documenting that the alternative monitoring
requirement would provide equivalent or better assurance of compliance
with the relevant emission standard, or that it is the monitoring
requirement that best assures compliance with the standard and that is
technically and economically practicable.
(C) Approval of request to use an alternative monitoring
requirement or waive an operating parameter limit. The Administrator
will notify you of approval or intention to deny approval of the
request within 90 calendar days after receipt of the original request
and within 60 calendar days after receipt of any supplementary
information that you submit. The Administrator will not approve an
alternative monitoring request unless the alternative monitoring
requirement provides equivalent or better assurance of compliance with
the relevant emission standard, or is the monitoring requirement that
best assures compliance with the standard and that is technically and
economically practicable. Before disapproving any request, the
Administrator will notify you of the Administrator's intention to
disapprove the request together with:
(1) Notice of the information and findings on which the intended
disapproval is based; and
(2) Notice of opportunity for you to present additional information
to the Administrator before final action on the request. At the time
the Administrator notifies you of intention to disapprove the request,
the Administrator will specify how much time you will have after being
notified of the intended disapproval to submit the additional
information.
(D) Responsibility of owners and operators. You are responsible for
ensuring that you submit any supplementary and additional information
supporting your application in a timely manner to enable the
Administrator to consider your application during review of the
comprehensive performance test plan. Neither your submittal of an
application, nor the Administrator's failure to approve or disapprove
the application, relieves you of the responsibility to comply with the
provisions of this subpart.
(2) Administrator's discretion to specify additional or alternative
requirements. The Administrator may determine on a case-by-case basis
at any time (e.g., during review of the comprehensive performance test
plan, during compliance certification review) that you may need to
limit additional or alternative operating parameters (e.g., opacity in
addition to or in lieu of operating parameter limits on the particulate
matter control device) or that alternative approaches to establish
limits on operating parameters may be necessary to document compliance
with the emission standards of this subpart.
(h) Reduction of monitoring data. The provisions of Sec. 63.8(g)
apply.
(i) When an operating parameter is applicable to multiple
standards. Paragraphs (j) through (p) of this section require you to
establish limits on operating parameters based on comprehensive
performance testing to ensure you maintain compliance with the emission
standards of this subpart. For several parameters, you must establish a
limit for the parameter to ensure compliance with more than one
emission standard. An example is a limit on minimum combustion chamber
temperature to ensure compliance with both the DRE standard of
paragraph (j) of this section and the dioxin/furan standard of
paragraph (k) of this section. If the performance tests for such
standards are not performed simultaneously, the most stringent limit
for a parameter derived from independent performance tests applies.

efficiency (DRE) standard, you must establish operating limits during
the comprehensive performance test (or during a previous DRE test under
provisions of Sec. 63.1206(b)(7)) for the following parameters, unless

inlet to the device on an hourly rolling average. You must establish
the hourly rolling average limit as the average of the test run
averages.

must establish a limit on the maximum temperature of the gas at the
exit of the (last) combustion chamber (or exit of
[[Page 53059]]
any waste heat recovery system) on an hourly rolling average. The limit
must be established as the average of the test run averages;
(2) Minimum combustion chamber temperature. (i) You must measure
the temperature of each combustion chamber at a location that best
represents, as practicable, the bulk gas temperature in the combustion
zone. You must document the temperature measurement location in the
test plan you submit under Secs. 63.1207(e) and (f);
(ii) You must establish a minimum hourly rolling average limit as
the average of the test run averages.
(3) Maximum flue gas flowrate or production rate. (i) As an
indicator of gas residence time in the control device, you must
establish and comply with a limit on the maximum flue gas flowrate, the
maximum production rate, or another parameter that you document in the
site-specific test plan as an appropriate surrogate for gas residence
time, as the average of the maximum hourly rolling averages for each
run.
(ii) You must comply with this limit on a hourly rolling average
basis;
(4) Maximum waste feedrate. (i) You must establish limits on the

adsorption and establish limits on those parameters based on the carbon
used in the performance test.
(B) You may substitute at any time a different brand or type of
carbon provided that the replacement has equivalent or improved
properties compared to the carbon used in the performance test and
conforms to the key sorbent parameters you identify under paragraph
(k)(6)(iii)(A) of this section. You must include in the operating
record documentation that the substitute carbon will provide the same
level of control as the original carbon.
(7) Carbon bed parameter limits. If your combustor is equipped with
a carbon bed system:
(i) Maximum bed age. (A) Except as provided by paragraph
(k)(7)(i)(C) of this section, the maximum age of the carbon in each
segment of the bed before you must replace the carbon is the age of the
bed during the comprehensive performance test.
(B) You must measure carbon age in terms of the cumulative volume
of combustion gas flow through carbon since its addition. For beds with
multiple segments, you must establish the maximum age for each segment.
(C) For the initial comprehensive performance test, you may base
the initial limit on maximum age of the carbon in each segment of the
bed on manufacturer's specifications. If you use manufacturer's
specifications rather than actual bed age to establish the initial
limit, you must also recommend in the initial comprehensive performance
test plan a schedule for subsequent dioxin/furan emissions testing,
prior to the confirmatory performance test, that you will use to
document to the Administrator that the initial limit on maximum bed age
ensures compliance with the dioxin/furan emission standard. If you fail
to confirm compliance with the emission standard during this testing,
you must conduct additional testing as necessary to document that a
revised lower limit on maximum bed age ensures compliance with the
standard.
(ii) Carbon specification. (A) You must specify and use the brand
(i.e., manufacturer) and type of carbon used during the comprehensive
performance test until a subsequent comprehensive performance test is
conducted, unless you document in the site-specific performance test
plan required under Secs. 63.1207(e) and (f) key parameters that affect
adsorption and establish limits on those parameters based on the carbon
used in the performance test.
(B) You may substitute at any time a different brand or type of
carbon provided that the replacement has equivalent or improved
properties compared to the carbon used in the performance test. You
must include in the operating record documentation that the substitute
carbon will provide an equivalent or improved level of control as the
original carbon.

parameters that affect the effectiveness of the inhibitor and establish
limits on those parameters based on the inhibitor used in the
performance test.
(B) You may substitute at any time a different brand or type of
inhibitor provided that the replacement has equivalent or improved
properties compared to the inhibitor used in the performance test and
conforms to the key parameters you identify under paragraph
(k)(9)(ii)(A) of this section. You must include in the operating record
documentation that the substitute inhibitor will provide the same level

Secs. 63.7(b) and (c) and Secs. 63.1207(e) and (f) to use the mercury
feedrates and associated emission rates during the comprehensive
performance test to extrapolate to higher allowable feedrate limits and
emission rates.
(ii) The extrapolation methodology will be reviewed and approved,
as warranted, by the Administrator. The review will consider in
particular whether:
(A) Performance test metal feedrates are appropriate (i.e., whether
feedrates are at least at normal levels; depending on the heterogeneity
of the waste, whether some level of spiking would be appropriate; and
whether the physical form and species of spiked material is

you establish limits on maximum flue gas flowrate under this paragraph,
you need not establish a limit on maximum flue gas flowrate under
paragraph (m)(2) of this section. You must establish these hourly
rolling average limits as the average of the test run averages; and

the operating limits within which the control device can operate and
still continuously achieve the same operating conditions as during the
performance test.
(4) You must prepare written documentation to support the operating
parameter limits established for the control device and you must

parameter monitoring system at a sufficient frequency to ensure the
control device is operating properly. An excursion is determined to
have occurred any time that the actual value of a selected operating
parameter is less than the minimum operating limit (or, if applicable,
greater than the maximum operating limit) established for the parameter
in accordance with the requirements of paragraph (m)(1)(iv)(A)(3) of
this section.

and (f) to use the semivolatile metal and low volatile metal feedrates
and associated emission rates during the comprehensive performance test
to extrapolate to higher allowable feedrate limits and emission rates.
(B) The extrapolation methodology will be reviewed and approved, as
warranted, by the Administrator. The review will consider in particular
whether:
(1) Performance test metal feedrates are appropriate (i.e., whether
feedrates are at least at normal levels; depending on the heterogeneity
of the waste, whether some level of spiking would be appropriate; and
whether the physical form and species of spiked material is

hazardous wastes combusted after installation of pollution prevention
or waste minimization measures to the amounts and/or toxicity of
hazardous wastes combusted prior to the installation of these measures.
If the difference is less than a fifteen percent reduction, include a
comparison to pollution prevention and waste minimization reductions
recorded during the previous five years;
(v) Reasonable documentation that installation of the pollution
prevention or waste minimization changes will not result in a net
increase (except for documented increases in production) of hazardous
constituents released to the environment through other emissions,
wastes or effluents;
(vi) Reasonable documentation that the design and installation of
waste minimization and other measures that are necessary for compliance
with the emission standards and operating requirements of this subpart
cannot otherwise be installed within the three year compliance period,

Appendix to Subpart EEE of Part 63--Quality Assurance Procedures
for Continuous Emissions Monitors Used for Hazardous Waste
Combustors
1. Applicability and Principle
1.1 Applicability. a. These quality assurance requirements are
used to evaluate the effectiveness of quality control (QC) and
quality assurance (QA) procedures and the quality of data produced
by continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) that are used for
determining compliance with the emission standards on a continuous
basis as specified in the applicable regulation. The QA procedures
specified by these requirements represent the minimum requirements
necessary for the control and assessment of the quality of CEMS data
used to demonstrate compliance with the emission standards provided
under subpart EEE of this part 63. Owners and operators must meet
these minimum requirements and are encouraged to develop and
implement a more extensive QA program. These requirements superede
those found in part 60, appendix F of this chapter. Appendix F does
not apply to hazardous waste-burning devices.
b. Data collected as a result of the required QA and QC measures
are to be recorded in the operating record. In addition, data
collected as a result of CEMS performance evaluations required by
Section 5 in conjunction with an emissions performance test are to
be submitted to the Administrator as provided by Sec. 63.8(e)(5).
These data are to be used by both the Agency and the CEMS operator
in assessing the effectiveness of the CEMS QA and QC procedures in
the maintenance of acceptable CEMS operation and valid emission
data.
1.2 Principle. The QA procedures consist of two distinct and
equally important functions. One function is the assessment of the
quality of the CEMS data by estimating accuracy. The other function
is the control and improvement of the quality of the CEMS data by
implementing QC policies and corrective actions. These two functions
form a control loop. When the assessment function indicates that the
data quality is inadequate, the source must immediately stop burning
hazardous waste. The CEM data control effort must be increased until
the data quality is acceptable before hazardous waste burning can
resume.
a. In order to provide uniformity in the assessment and
reporting of data quality, this procedure explicitly specifies the
assessment methods for response drift and accuracy. The methods are
based on procedures included in the applicable performance
specifications provided in appendix B to part 60 of this chapter.
These procedures also require the analysis of the EPA audit samples
concurrent with certain reference method (RM) analyses as specified
in the applicable RM's.
b. Because the control and corrective action function
encompasses a variety of policies, specifications, standards, and
corrective measures, this procedure treats QC requirements in
general terms to allow each source owner or operator to develop a QC
system that is most effective and efficient for the circumstances.
2. Definitions
2.1 Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS). The total
equipment required for the determination of a pollutant
concentration. The system consists of the following major
subsystems:
2.1.1 Sample Interface. That portion of the CEMS used for one
or more of the following: sample acquisition, sample transport, and
sample conditioning, or protection of the monitor from the effects
of the stack effluent.
2.1.2 Pollutant Analyzer. That portion of the CEMS that senses
the pollutant concentration and generates a proportional output.
2.1.3 Diluent Analyzer. That portion of the CEMS that senses
the diluent gas (O2) and generates an output proportional to the gas
concentration.
2.1.4 Data Recorder. That portion of the CEMS that provides a
permanent record of the analyzer output. The data recorder may
provide automatic data reduction and CEMS control capabilities.
2.2 Relative Accuracy (RA). The absolute mean difference
between the pollutant concentration determined by the CEMS and the
value determined by the reference method (RM) plus the 2.5 percent
error confidence coefficient of a series of test divided by the mean
of the RM tests or the applicable emission limit.
2.3 Calibration Drift (CD). The difference in the CEMS output
readings from the established reference value after a stated period
of operation during which no unscheduled maintenance, repair, or
adjustment took place.
2.4 Zero Drift (ZD). The difference in CEMS output readings at
the zero pollutant level after a stated period of operation during
which no unscheduled maintenance, repair, or adjustment took place.
2.5 Calibration Standard. Calibration standards produce a known
and unchanging response when presented to the pollutant analyzer
portion of the CEMS, and are used to calibrate the drift or response
of the analyzer.
2.6 Relative Accuracy Test Audit (RATA). Comparison of CEMS
measurements to reference method measurements in order to evaluate
relative accuracy following procedures and specification given in
the appropriate performance specification.
2.7 Absolute Calibration Audit (ACA). Equivalent to calibration
error (CE) test defined in the appropriate performance specification
using NIST traceable calibration standards to challenge the CEMS and
assess accuracy.
2.8 Rolling Average. The average emissions, based on some
(specified) time period, calculated every minute from a one-minute
average of four measurements taken at 15-second intervals. CEMS
other than carbon monoxide and total hydrocarbon CEMS may have
rolling averages calculated every hour from a one-hour average of at
least four measurements taken at intervals not exceeding 15 minutes.
c. QA/QC Requirements
3.1 QC Requirements. a. Each owner or operator must develop and
implement a QC program. At a minimum, each QC program must include
written procedures describing in detail complete, step-by-step
procedures and operations for the following activities.
1. Checks for component failures, leaks, and other abnormal
conditions.
2. Calibration of CEMS.
3. CD determination and adjustment of CEMS.
4. Integration of CEMS with the automatic waste feed cutoff
(AWFCO) system.
5. Preventive Maintenance of CEMS (including spare parts
inventory).
6. Data recording, calculations, and reporting.
7. Checks of record keeping.
8. Accuracy audit procedures, including sampling and analysis
methods.
9. Program of corrective action for malfunctioning CEMS.
10. Operator training and certification.
11. Maintaining and ensuring current certification or naming of
cylinder gasses, metal solutions, and particulate samples used for
audit and accuracy tests, daily checks, and calibrations.
b. Whenever excessive inaccuracies occur for two consecutive
quarters, the current written procedures must be revised or the CEMS
modified or replaced to correct the deficiency causing the excessive
inaccuracies. These written procedures must be kept on record and
available for inspection by the enforcement agency.
3.2 QA Requirements. Each source owner or operator must develop
and implement a QA plan that includes, at a minimum, the following.
[[Page 53069]]
1. QA responsibilities (including maintaining records, preparing
reports, reviewing reports).
2. Schedules for the daily checks, periodic audits, and
preventive maintenance.
3. Check lists and data sheets.
4. Preventive maintenance procedures.
5. Description of the media, format, and location of all records
and reports.
6. Provisions for a review of the CEMS data at least once a
year. Based on the results of the review, the owner or operator must
revise or update the QA plan, if necessary.
d. CD and ZD Assessment and Daily System Audit
4.1 CD and ZD Requirement. Owners and operators must check,
record, and quantify the ZD and the CD at least once daily
(approximately 24 hours) in accordance with the method prescribed by
the manufacturer. The CEMS calibration must, at a minimum, be
adjusted whenever the daily ZD or CD exceeds the limits in the
Performance Specifications. If, on any given ZD and/or CD check the
ZD and/or CD exceed(s) two times the limits in the Performance
Specifications, or if the cumulative adjustment to the ZD and/or CD
(see Section 4.2) exceed(s) three times the limits in the
Performance Specifications, hazardous waste burning must immediately
cease and the CEMS must be serviced and recalibrated. Hazardous
waste burning cannot resume until the owner or operator documents
that the CEMS is in compliance with the Performance Specifications
by carrying out an ACA.
4.2 Recording Requirements for Automatic ZD and CD Adjusting
Monitors. Monitors that automatically adjust the data to the
corrected calibration values must record the unadjusted
concentration measurement prior to resetting the calibration, if
performed, or record the amount of the adjustment.
4.3 Daily System Audit. The audit must include a review of the
calibration check data, an inspection of the recording system, an
inspection of the control panel warning lights, and an inspection of
the sample transport and interface system (e.g., flowmeters,
filters, etc.) as appropriate.
4.4 Data Recording and Reporting. All measurements from the
CEMS must be retained in the operating record for at least 5 years.
5. Performance Evaluation
Carbon Monoxide (CO), Oxygen (O2), and Hydrocarbon
(HC) CEMS. An Absolute Calibration Audit (ACA) must be conducted
quarterly, and a Relative Accuracy Test Audit (RATA) (if applicable,
see sections 5.1 and 5.2) must be conducted yearly. An Interference
Response Tests must be performed whenever an ACA or a RATA is
conducted. When a performance test is also required under
Sec. 63.1207 to document compliance with emission standards, the
RATA must coincide with the performance test. The audits must be
conducted as follows.
5.1 Relative Accuracy Test Audit (RATA). This requirement
applies to O2 and CO CEMS. The RATA must be conducted at
least yearly. Conduct the RATA as described in the RA test procedure
(or alternate procedures section) described in the applicable
Performance Specifications. In addition, analyze the appropriate
performance audit samples received from the EPA as described in the
applicable sampling methods.
5.2 Absolute Calibration Audit (ACA). The ACA must be conducted
at least quarterly except in a quarter when a RATA (if applicable,
see section 5.1) is conducted instead. Conduct an ACA as described
in the calibration error (CE) test procedure described in the
applicable Performance Specifications.
5.3 Interference Response Test. The interference response test
must be conducted whenever an ACA or RATA is conducted. Conduct an
interference response test as described in the applicable
Performance Specifications.
5.4 Excessive Audit Inaccuracy. If the RA from the RATA or the
CE from the ACA exceeds the criteria in the applicable Performance
Specifications, hazardous waste burning must cease immediately.
Hazardous waste burning cannot resume until the owner or operator
takes corrective measures and audit the CEMS with a RATA to document
that the CEMS is operating within the specifications.
6. Other Requirements
6.1 Performance Specifications. CEMS used by owners and
operators of HWCs must comply with the following performance
specifications in appendix B to part 60 of this chapter:
Table I: Performance Specifications for CEMS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Performance
CEMS specification
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Carbon monoxide.......................................... 4B
Oxygen................................................... 4B
Total hydrocarbons....................................... 8A
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.2 Downtime due to Calibration. Facilities may continue to
burn hazardous waste for a maximum of 20 minutes while calibrating
the CEMS. If all CEMS are calibrated at once, the facility must have
twenty minutes to calibrate all the CEMS. If CEMS are calibrated
individually, the facility must have twenty minutes to calibrate
each CEMS. If the CEMS are calibrated individually, other CEMS must
be operational while the individual CEMS is being calibrated.
6.3 Span of the CEMS.
6.3.1 CO CEMS. The CO CEM must have two ranges, a low range
with a span of 200 ppmv and a high range with a span of 3000 ppmv at
an oxygen correction factor of 1. A one-range CEM may be used, but
it must meet the performance specifications for the low range in the
specified span of the low range.
6.3.2 O2 CEMS. The O2 CEM must have a
span of 25 percent. The span may be higher than 25 percent if the
O2 concentration at the sampling point is greater than 25
percent.
6.3.3 HC CEMS. The HC CEM must have a span of 100 ppmv,
expressed as propane, at an oxygen correction factor of 1.
6.3.4 CEMS Span Values. When the Oxygen Correction Factor is
Greater than 2. When an owner or operator installs a CEMS at a
location of high ambient air dilution, i.e., where the maximum
oxygen correction factor as determined by the permitting agency is
greater than 2, the owner or operator must install a CEM with a
lower span(s), proportionate to the larger oxygen correction factor,
than those specified above.
6.3.5 Use of Alternative Spans. Owner or operators may request
approval to use alternative spans and ranges to those specified.
Alternate spans must be approved in writing in advance by the
Administrator. In considering approval of alternative spans and
ranges, the Administrator will consider that measurements beyond the
span will be recorded as values at the maximum span for purposes of
calculating rolling averages.
6.3.6 Documentation of Span Values. The span value must be
documented by the CEMS manufacturer with laboratory data.
6.4.1 Moisture Correction. Method 4 of appendix A, part 60 of
this chapter, must be used to determine moisture content of the
stack gasses.
6.4.2 Oxygen Correction Factor. Measured pollutant levels must
be corrected for the amount of oxygen in the stack according to the
following formula:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR30SE99.022
Where:
Pc = concentration of the pollutant or standard corrected
to 7 percent oxygen, dry basis;
Pm = measured concentration of the pollutant, dry basis;
E = volume fraction of oxygen in the combustion air fed into the
device, on a dry basis (normally 21 percent or 0.21 if only air is
fed);
Y = measured fraction of oxygen on a dry basis at the sampling
point.
The oxygen correction factor is:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR30SE99.023
6.4.3 Temperature Correction. Correction values for temperature
are obtainable from standard reference materials.
6.5 Rolling Average. A rolling average is the arithmetic
average of all one-minute averages over the averaging period.
6.5.1 One-Minute Average for CO and HC CEMS and Operating
Parameter Limits. One-minute averages are the arithmetic average of
the four most recent 15-second observations and must be calculated
using the following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR30SE99.024
Where:
c = the one minute average
ci = a fifteen-second observation from the CEM
Fifteen second observations must not be rounded or smoothed.
Fifteen-second observations may be disregarded only as a
[[Page 53070]]
result of a failure in the CEMS and allowed in the source's quality
assurance plan at the time of the CMS failure. One-minute averages
must not be rounded, smoothed, or disregarded.
6.5.2 Ten Minute Rolling Average Equation. The ten minute
rolling average must be calculated using the following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR30SE99.025
Where:
CRA = The concentration of the standard, expressed as a
rolling average
ci = a one minute average
6.5.3 Hourly Rolling Average Equation for CO and THC CEMS and
Operating Parameter Limits. The rolling average, based on a specific
number integer of hours, must be calculated using the following
equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR30SE99.026
Where:
cRA = The concentration of the standard, expressed as a
rolling average
ci = a one minute average
6.5.4 Averaging Periods for CEMS other than CO and THC. The
averaging period for CEMS other than CO and THC CEMS must be
calculated as a rolling average of all one-hour values over the
averaging period. An hourly average is comprised of 4 measurements
taken at equally spaced time intervals, or at most every 15 minutes.
Fewer than 4 measurements might be available within an hour for
reasons such as facility downtime or CEMS calibration. If at least
two measurements (30 minutes of data) are available, an hourly
average must be calculated. The n-hour rolling average is calculated
by averaging the n most recent hourly averages.
6.6 Units of the Standards for the Purposes of Recording and
Reporting Emissions. Emissions must be recorded and reported
expressed after correcting for oxygen, temperature, and moisture.
Emissions must be reported in metric, but may also be reported in
the English system of units, at 7 percent oxygen, 20 deg.C, and on a
dry basis.
6.7 Rounding and Significant Figures. Emissions must be rounded
to two significant figures using ASTM procedure E-29-90 or its
successor. Rounding must be avoided prior to rounding for the
reported value.

[[Page 53076]]
(c) Oxygen correction. (1) Measured pollutant levels must be
corrected for the amount of oxygen in the stack gas according to the
formula:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR30SE99.027
Where:
Pc is the corrected concentration of the pollutant in the stack gas, Pm
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 this subpart
must be based on correcting to 7 percent oxygen using this procedure.
* * * * *
5. Section 266.112, paragraph (b)(1) introductory text is amended
by adding a sentence at the end and paragraph (b)(2)(i) is revised to
read as follows:
Sec. 266.112 Regulation of residues.
* * * * *
(b) * * *
(1) * * * For polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated
dibenzo-furans, analyses must 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 this part.
* * * * *
(2) * * *
(i) Nonmetal constituents. The concentration of each nonmetal toxic
constituent of concern (specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section)
in the waste-derived residue must not exceed the health-based level
specified in appendix VII of this part, or the level of detection
(using analytical procedures prescribed in SW-846), whichever is
higher. If a health-based limit for a constituent of concern is not
listed in appendix VII of this part, then a limit of 0.002 micrograms
per kilogram or the level of detection (using analytical procedures
contained in SW-846, or other appropriate methods), whichever is
higher, must be used. The levels specified in appendix VII of this part
(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
this paragraph) are administratively stayed under the condition, for
those constituents specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, that
the owner or operator complies with alternative levels defined as the
land disposal restriction limits specified in Sec. 268.43 of this
chapter 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 Agency 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
Sec. 268.43 of this chapter for F039 nonwastewaters. In complying with
the Sec. 268.43 of this chapter F039 nonwastewater levels for
polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzo-furans,
analyses must be performed for total hexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins, total
hexachlorodibenzofurans, total pentachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins, total
pentachlorodibenzofurans, total tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins, and total
tetrachlorodibenzofurans.
Note to this paragraph: The administrative stay, under the
condition that the owner or operator complies with alternative
levels defined as the land disposal restriction limits specified in
Sec. 268.43 of this chapter for F039 nonwastewaters, remains in
effect until further administrative action is taken and notice is
published in the Federal Register and the Code of Federal
Regulations.
