Protection Agency or his/her authorized representative or Administrator
of a State Air Pollution Control Agency.
Agricultural waste means vegetative agricultural materials such as
nut and grain hulls and chaff (e.g., almond, walnut, peanut, rice, and
wheat), bagasse, orchard prunings, corn stalks, coffee bean hulls and
grounds, and other vegetative waste materials generated as a result of
agricultural operations.
Air curtain incinerator means an incinerator that operates by
forcefully projecting a curtain of air across an open chamber or pit in
which combustion occurs. Incinerators of this type can be constructed
above or below ground and with or without refractory

[[Page 848]]

walls and floor. (Air curtain incinerators are not to be confused with
conventional combustion devices with enclosed fireboxes and controlled

or diesel fuel.
Bag leak detection system means an instrument that is capable of
monitoring particulate matter loadings in the exhaust of a fabric filter
(i.e., baghouse) in order to detect bag failures. A bag leak detection
system includes, but is not limited to, an instrument that operates on
triboelectric, light scattering, light transmittance, or other principle
to monitor relative particulate matter loadings.
Calendar quarter means three consecutive months (nonoverlapping)
beginning on: January 1, April 1, July 1, or October 1.
Calendar year means 365 consecutive days starting on January 1 and
ending on December 31.
Chemotherapeutic waste means waste material resulting from the
production or use of antineoplastic agents used for the purpose of
stopping or reversing the growth of malignant cells.
Clean lumber means wood or wood products that have been cut or
shaped and include wet, air-dried, and kiln-dried wood products. Clean
lumber does not include wood products that have been painted, pigment-
stained, or pressure-treated by compounds such as chromate copper
arsenate, pentachlorophenol, and creosote.
Commercial and industrial solid waste incineration (CISWI) unit
means any combustion unit that combusts commercial or industrial waste
(as defined in this subpart), that is a distinct operating unit of any
commercial or industrial facility (including field erected, modular, and
custom built incineration units operating with starved or excess air),
and any air curtain incinerator that is a distinct operating unit of any
commercial or industrial facility that does not comply with the opacity
limits under this subpart applicable to air curtain incinerators burning
commercial or industrial waste. While not all CISWI units will include
all of the following components, a CISWI unit includes, but is not
limited to, the commercial or industrial solid waste feed system, grate
system, flue gas system, waste heat recovery equipment, if any, and
bottom ash system. The CISWI unit does not include air pollution control
equipment or the stack. The CISWI unit boundary starts at the commercial
or industrial waste hopper (if applicable) and extends through two
areas: The combustion unit flue gas system, which ends immediately after
the last combustion chamber or after the waste heat recovery equipment,
if any; and the combustion unit bottom ash system, which ends at the
truck loading station or similar equipment that transfers the ash to
final disposal. The CISWI unit includes all ash handling systems
connected to the bottom ash handling system. A CISWI unit does not
include any of the fifteen types of units described in Sec. 60.2555 of
this subpart, nor does it include any combustion turbine or
reciprocating internal combustion engine.
Commercial or industrial waste means solid waste (as defined in this
subpart) that is combusted at any commercial or industrial facility
using controlled flame combustion in an enclosed, distinct operating
unit: Whose design does not provide for energy recovery (as defined in
this subpart); or operated without energy recovery (as defined in this
subpart). Commercial or industrial waste also means solid waste (as
defined in this subpart) combusted in an air curtain incinerator that is
a distinct operating unit of any commercial or industrial facility.
Contained gaseous material means gases that are in a container when
that container is combusted.
Cyclonic barrel burner means a combustion device for waste materials
that is attached to a 55 gallon, open-head drum. The device consists of
a lid, which fits onto and encloses the drum, and a blower that forces
combustion air into the drum in a cyclonic manner to enhance the mixing
of waste material and air.
Deviation means any instance in which an affected source subject to
this subpart, or an owner or operator of such a source:
(1) Fails to meet any requirement or obligation established by this
subpart,

[[Page 849]]

including but not limited to any emission limitation, operating limit,
or operator qualification and accessibility requirements;
(2) Fails to meet any term or condition that is adopted to implement
an applicable requirement in this subpart and that is included in the
operating permit for any affected source required to obtain such a
permit; or
(3) Fails to meet any emission limitation, operating limit, or
operator qualification and accessibility requirement in this subpart
during startup, shutdown, or malfunction, regardless or whether or not
such failure is permitted by this subpart.
Dioxins/furans means tetra- through octachlorinated dibenzo-p-
dioxins and dibenzofurans.
Discard means, for purposes of this subpart and 40 CFR part 60,
subpart DDDD, only, burned in an incineration unit without energy
recovery.
Drum reclamation unit means a unit that burns residues out of drums
(e.g., 55 gallon drums) so that the drums can be reused.
Energy recovery means the process of recovering thermal energy from
combustion for useful purposes such as steam generation or process
heating.
Fabric filter means an add-on air pollution control device used to
capture particulate matter by filtering gas streams through filter
media, also known as a baghouse.
Low-level radioactive waste means waste material which contains
radioactive nuclides emitting primarily beta or gamma radiation, or
both, in concentrations or quantities that exceed applicable Federal or
State standards for unrestricted release. Low-level radioactive waste is
not high-level radioactive waste, spent nuclear fuel, or byproduct
material as defined by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C.
2014(e)(2)).
Malfunction means any sudden, infrequent, and not reasonably
preventable failure of air pollution control equipment, process
equipment, or a process to operate in a normal or usual manner. Failures
that are caused, in part, by poor maintenance or careless operation are
not malfunctions.
Modification or modified CISWI unit means a CISWI unit you have
changed later than June 1, 2001 and that meets one of two criteria:
(1) The cumulative cost of the changes over the life of the unit
exceeds 50 percent of the original cost of building and installing the
CISWI unit (not including the cost of land) updated to current costs
(current dollars). To determine what systems are within the boundary of
the CISWI unit used to calculate these costs, see the definition of
CISWI unit.
(2) Any physical change in the CISWI unit or change in the method of
operating it that increases the amount of any air pollutant emitted for
which section 129 or section 111 of the Clean Air Act has established
