Sec. 60.155  Reporting.

    (a) The owner or operator of any multiple hearth, fluidized bed, or 
electric sludge incinerator subject to the provisions of this subpart 
shall submit to the Administrator semi-annually a report in writing 
which contains the following:
    (1) A record of average scrubber pressure drop measurements for each 
period of 15 minutes duration or more during which the pressure drop of 
the scrubber was less than, by a percentage specified below, the average 
scrubber pressure drop measured during the most recent performance test. 
The percent reduction in scrubber pressure drop for which a report is 
required shall be determined as follows:
    (i) For incinerators that achieved an average particulate matter 
emission rate of 0.38 kg/Mg (0.75 lb/ton) dry sludge input or less 
during the most recent performance test, a scrubber pressure drop 
reduction of more than 30 percent from the average scrubber pressure 
drop recorded during the most recent performance test shall be reported.
    (ii) For incinerators that achieved an average particulate matter 
emission rate of greater than 0.38 kg/Mg (0.75 lb/ton) dry sludge input 
during the most recent performance test, a percent reduction in pressure 
drop greater than that calculated according to the following equation 
shall be reported:

P=-111E+72.15

where P=Percent reduction in pressure drop, and
E=Average particulate matter emissions (kg/megagram)

    (2) A record of average oxygen content in the incinerator exhaust 
gas for each period of 1-hour duration or more that the oxygen content 
of the incinerator exhaust gas exceeds the average oxygen content 
measured during the most recent performance test by more than 3 percent.
    (b) The owner or operator of any multiple hearth, fluidized bed, or 
electric sludge incinerator from which the average particulate matter 
emission rate measured during the performance test required under Sec. 
60.154(d) exceeds 0.38 g/kg of dry sludge input (0.75 lb/ton of dry 
sludge input) shall include in the report for each calendar day that a 
decrease in scrubber pressure drop or increase in oxygen content of 
exhaust gas is reported a record of the following:
    (1) Scrubber pressure drop averaged over each 1-hour incinerator 
operating period.
    (2) Oxygen content in the incinerator exhaust averaged over each 1-
hour incinerator operating period.
    (3) Temperatures of every hearth in multiple hearth incinerators; of 
the bed and outlet of fluidized bed incinerators; and of the drying, 
combustion, and cooling zones of electric incinerators averaged over 
each 1-hour incinerator operating period.
    (4) Rate of sludge charged to the incinerator averaged over each 1-
hour incinerator operating period.
    (5) Incinerator fuel use averaged over each 8-hour incinerator 
operating period.
    (6) Moisture and volatile solids content of the daily grab sample of 
sludge charged to the incinerator.
    (c) The owner or operator of any sludge incinerator other than a 
multiple hearth, fluidized bed, or electric incinerator or any sludge 
incinerator equipped with a control device other than a wet scrubber 
shall include in the semi-annual report a record of control device 
operation measurements, as specified in the plan approved under Sec. 
60.153(e).
