AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule; notice of final action on reconsideration.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action sets forth the Environmental Protection Agency's
(EPA) final decision on the issues for which it granted reconsideration
on January 21, 2015, which pertain to certain aspects of the February
7, 2013, final rule titled ``Standards of Performance for New
Stationary Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources:
Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units'' (CISWI
rule). The EPA is finalizing proposed actions on these four topics:
Definition of ``continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) data
during startup and shutdown periods;'' particulate matter (PM) limit
for the waste-burning kiln subcategory; fuel variability factor (FVF)
for coal-burning energy recovery units (ERUs); and the definition of
``kiln.'' This action also includes our final decision to deny the
requests for reconsideration of all other issues raised in the
petitions for reconsideration of the 2013 final commercial and
industrial solid waste incineration rule for which we did not grant
reconsideration.
DATES: The amendments in this rule to 40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD, are
effective June 23, 2016, and to 40 CFR part 60, subpart CCCC, are
effective December 23, 2016. The incorporation by reference of certain
publications listed in this rule was approved February 7, 2013.

II. Summary of Final Amendments
A. Background Information
On March 21, 2011, the EPA promulgated revised NSPS and EG for
CISWI units. Following that action, the Administrator received
petitions for reconsideration that identified certain issues that
warranted further opportunity for public comment. In response to the
petitions, the EPA reconsidered and requested comment on several
provisions of the February 2011 final NSPS and EG for commercial and
industrial solid waste incineration units. The EPA published the
proposed revisions to the NSPS and EG for commercial and industrial
solid waste units on December 23, 2011 (76 FR 80452).
On February 7, 2013, the EPA promulgated the final reconsidered
NSPS and EG for CISWI units (78 FR 9112). The final rule made some
revisions to the December 2011 proposed reconsideration rule in
response to comments and additional information received. Following
that action, the EPA again received petitions for reconsideration.
These petitions stated certain provisions should be reconsidered and
that the public lacked sufficient opportunity to comment on some of the
provisions contained in the final 2013 CISWI rule. On January 21, 2015,
the EPA reconsidered and requested comment on four provisions of the
2013 final NSPS and EG for CISWI units. Additionally, the EPA proposed
clarifying changes and corrections to the final rule, some of which
were raised in petitions for reconsideration of the 2013 CISWI rule.
The EPA also proposed to amend the final rule by removing the
affirmative defense provision. The EPA continued to evaluate the
remaining issues raised in the petitions for reconsideration of the
February 7, 2013 final CISWI reconsideration based on public comments
received on the January 21, 2015, proposed reconsideration. For a more
detailed background and additional information on how this rule is
related to other CAA combustion rules issued under CAA section 112 and
[[Page 40958]]
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) definition of solid
waste, refer to prior notices (76 FR 15704, 78 FR 9112).
B. Actions We Are Taking
In this document, we are finalizing amendments associated with
certain issues raised by Petitioners in their petitions for
reconsideration on the 2013 CISWI rule. These provisions are: (1)
Definition of ``CEMS data during startup and shutdown periods;'' (2)
particulate matter (PM) limit for the waste-burning kiln subcategory;
(3) fuel variability factor (FVF) for coal-burning energy recovery
units (ERUs); and (4) the definition of ``kiln.'' The final amendments
are summarized as follows:
1. Definition of ``CEMS data during startup and shutdown periods'':
The EPA is revising the ``CEMS data during startup and shutdown''
definition to be subcategory-specific. For ERUs and waste-burning
kilns, the definitions reflect provisions similar to those of the non-
waste counterpart National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) to CISWI for the type of source (i.e., boilers and
cement kilns). Therefore, ERUs will comply with provisions similar to
those in the major source Boiler NESHAP, and waste-burning kilns will
comply with provisions similar to those in the Portland Cement NESHAP.
For incinerators and small remote incinerators, the proposed definition
(i.e., from a cold start and up to 48 hours for startup and 24 hours or
less for shutdown) will apply.
2. Particulate matter limit for the waste-burning kiln subcategory:
The EPA has determined that the test averages, instead of the
individual test runs, should be used to establish the standards for new
and existing waste-burning kilns. Based on that approach, the final PM
emission limits for existing kilns is 13.5 mg/dscm and the final PM
emission limit for new kilns is 4.9 mg/dscm.
3. Fuel variability factor (FVF) for coal-burning energy recovery
units: The EPA is incorporating a fuel variability factor and adopting
as final the emission limits discussed in the proposed rule for cadmium
(Cd), hydrogen chloride (HCl), mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), filterable
particulate matter (PM), and nitrogen oxides (NOX).
Additionally, the EPA has re-evaluated the fuel sulfur data with paired
sulfur dioxide (SO2) data and is incorporating a FVF into
the floor calculations for SO2. The final SO2
limit for existing and new coal ERUs is 850 parts per million by dry
volume (ppmvd).
4. Definition of ``kiln'': The EPA is finalizing a definition of
``kiln'' that is consistent with that of the Portland Cement NESHAP.
The terms ``in-line raw mill'' and ``in-line coal mill'' are included
in the definition, and, therefore, have been added to the definitions
within the CISWI rule. Furthermore, the EPA is finalizing the proposed
compliance demonstration and ongoing monitoring method for waste-
burning kilns that combine emission streams from the in-line raw mill
and/or the in-line coal mill and exhaust through multiple stacks. The
EPA is also finalizing clarifying language that makes the monitoring
requirements for waste-burning kilns consistent with those in the
Portland Cement NESHAP. Specifically, we are not requiring that CEMS or
PM continuous parameter monitoring systems (CPMS) be installed on
separate alkali bypass or in-line coal mill stacks. Instead, as is the
case with the Portland Cement NESHAP, the results of the initial and
subsequent performance tests for the alkali bypass and in-line coal
mill stacks can be used to determine the combined emissions to
demonstrate compliance with the relevant emissions limit. However,
unlike the Portland Cement NESHAP, the performance test must be
conducted on an annual basis (between 11 and 13 calendar months
following the previous performance test) to keep the testing schedule
for these stacks consistent with the CISWI rule's annual performance
testing requirements.
Section IV of this preamble discusses these issues in further
detail and presents the revisions necessary to address each issue.
Additionally, the EPA is clarifying certain applicability
provisions relating to incinerator units and air curtain incinerator
units subject to the 2000 CISWI NSPS and is correcting various
typographical errors identified in the rule as published in the CFR.
Section V of this preamble discusses these issues in further detail.
The EPA is also finalizing the proposed amendments to the final
rule by removing the affirmative defense provision for the reasons set
forth in the proposed rule. See 80 FR 3018, 3025 (January 21, 2015).
C. Other Actions We Are Taking
Section 307(d)(7)(B) of the CAA states that ``[o]nly an objection
to a rule or procedure which was raised with reasonable specificity
during the period for public comment (including any public hearing) may
be raised during judicial review. If the person raising an objection
can demonstrate to the Administrator that it was impracticable to raise
such objection within such time or if the grounds for such objection
arose after the period for public comment (but within the time
specified for judicial review) and if such objection is of central
relevance to the outcome of the rule, the Administrator shall convene a
proceeding for reconsideration of the rule and provide the same
procedural rights as would have been afforded had the information been
available at the time the rule was proposed. If the Administrator
refuses to convene such a proceeding, such person may seek review of
such refusal in the United States court of appeals for the appropriate
circuit (as provided in subsection (b)).''
As to the first procedural criterion for reconsideration, a
petitioner must show why the issue could not have been presented during
the comment period, either because it was impracticable to raise the
issue during that time or because the grounds for the issue arose after
the period for public comment (but within 60 days of publication of the
final action). The EPA is denying the petitions for reconsideration on
a number of issues because this criterion has not been met. In many
cases, the petitions reiterate comments made on the proposed December
2011 rule during the public comment period for that rule. On those
issues, the EPA responded to those comments in the final rule and made
appropriate revisions to the proposed rule after consideration of
public comments received. It is well established that an agency may
refine its proposed approach without providing an additional
opportunity for public comment. See Community Nutrition Institute v.
Block, 749 F.2d at 58 and International Fabricare Institute v. EPA, 972
F.2d 384, 399 (D.C. Cir. 1992) (notice and comment is not intended to
result in ``interminable back-and-forth[,]'' nor is an agency required
to provide additional opportunity to comment on its response to
comments) and Small Refiner Lead Phase-Down Task Force v. EPA, 705 F.2d
506, 547 (D.C. Cir. 1983) (``notice requirement should not force an
agency endlessly to repropose a rule because of minor changes'').
In the EPA's view, an objection is of central relevance to the
outcome of the rule only if it provides substantial support for the
argument that the promulgated regulation should be revised. See Union
Oil v. EPA, 821 F.2d 768, 683 (D.C. Cir. 1987) (court declined to
remand rule because petitioners failed to show substantial likelihood
that final rule would have been changed
[[Page 40959]]
based on information in petition). See also the EPA's Denial of the
Petitions to Reconsider the Endangerment and Cause or Contribute
Findings for Greenhouse Gases under Section 202 of the Clean Air Act,
75 FR at 49556, 49561 (August 13, 2010). See also 75 FR at 49556,
49560-49563 (August 13, 2010) and 76 FR at 4780, 4786-4788 (January 26,
2011) for additional discussion of the standard for reconsideration
under CAA section 307(d)(7)(B).
This action includes our final decision to deny the requests for
reconsideration with respect to all issues raised in the petitions for
reconsideration of the final 2013 CISWI rule for which we did not grant
reconsideration. These denied requests for reconsideration are
discussed in detail in the ``Reconsideration issues on the 2013 final
rule'' memorandum found in the docket to this rulemaking.
III. Summary of Significant Changes Since Proposal
The EPA did not propose revisions to the definition of ``CEMS data
during startup and shutdown,'' but requested comment and suggestions
for provisions in this definition that would address the transitional
operation period at startup. Based on our review of comments received
and suggestions on provisions, we are finalizing revised subcategory-
specific definitions for ``CEMS data during startup and shutdown'' that
are operationally representative for the subcategory of unit, and more
closely resemble the non-waste burning regulatory definitions of these
periods of operation. This issue, and the rationale for doing so, are
discussed in greater detail in section IV.A. of this preamble.
Similarly, the EPA did not propose PM emission limits for waste-
burning kilns based on test average data instead of test run data, but
requested comment on the appropriateness of such an approach for this
set of data. Upon consideration of comments, the EPA has determined to
adopt the emission limits based on test average data for PM for the
waste-burning kiln subcategory, and we have discussed our rationale for
this in section IV.B. of this preamble.
The EPA did not propose but requested comment and additional data
concerning the need for a FVF for coal-fired ERUs. Potential emission
limits based on periods of non-waste combustion and, if applicable, a
FVF for coal ERUs were discussed in the proposal for coal-burning ERUs
for Cd, HCl, Hg, Pb, PM, and NOX. Based on comments and
additional analysis, the EPA is adopting these emission limits and also
incorporating a FVF into the floor calculations for the SO2
emission limit. The EPA did not discuss a FVF for SO2 at
proposal because the sulfur data the EPA had intended to use to develop
the FVF appeared to have only one data point that could be paired with
SO2 emissions test data. It was brought to the EPA's
attention during the comment period, however, that there were in fact
two data points in the sulfur data set that could be paired with
emissions test data. It was not initially clear that the coal samples
dated 4-9 days prior to the emissions test were paired samples.
However, during the comment period, a commenter informed the EPA these
data were paired and the different dates were due to the lag time
between sampling and actual combustion. This clarification enabled the
EPA to determine that sufficient paired data exist for the calculation
of a FVF for SO2, which resulted in a revised SO2
emission limit of 850 ppmvd for new and existing coal ERUs. Consistent
with the January 21, 2015 proposal, the EPA is adopting this revised
emission limit to account for the fuel variability for this subcategory
of CISWI units. Section IV.C of this preamble discusses this issue in
further detail and responds to comments on the issue.
Additionally, the HCl CEMS requirements for waste-burning kilns not
equipped with acid gas wet or dry scrubbers have been revised in
response to comments and to be more consistent with more recently
promulgated monitoring provisions included in the Portland Cement
NESHAP rule. These revised provisions allow sources to use CEMS
installed and operated according to either Performance Specification 15
or Performance Specification 18 to continuously monitor HCl emissions.
The revised provisions also provide additional clarification and detail
to sources on the procedures to use for calibrating and verifying the
performance of the HCl CEMS.
IV. Summary of Significant Comments and Responses
This section of the preamble summarizes the major comments received
regarding the reconsidered issues and the EPA's responses in support of
this final rule. For other comments not discussed here, refer to the
``Summary of Public Comments and Responses for Commercial and
Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units: 2015 Reconsideration and
Final Amendments'' in the docket.
A. Definition of ``CEMS Data During Startup and Shutdown Periods''
Background: In the January 21, 2015, proposal, the EPA requested
comments on the definition of ``CEMS data during startup and shutdown''
that was in the February 2013 final rule. As background, the 2011 CISWI
final rule contained CEMS monitoring requirements for carbon monoxide
(CO) from new sources, including a provision that mandated a 7 percent
oxygen correction. After the 2011 CISWI final rule was published,
petitioners indicated that correcting CO concentration measurements to
7 percent oxygen is problematic during startup and shutdown periods
when the flue gas oxygen content approaches the oxygen content of
ambient air, especially with regard to the ERU subcategory. Oxygen
contents are often maintained relatively close to ambient air during
combustion unit startup and shutdown in order to safely operate the
unit, but, as a result, the corrected CO values during these periods
are artificially inflated due to the oxygen correction calculation.
Petitioners presented data that demonstrated how these inflated data
points drive the 30-day rolling average values beyond the emission
limit.
To resolve this issue, the EPA determined that the 7 percent oxygen
correction would not be required for CEMS data collected during periods
of startup and shutdown, referred to and defined as ``CEMS data during
startup and shutdown.''
Based on data submitted for coal-burning ERUs, a new definition of
``CEMS data during startup and shutdown'' was proposed in the December
2011 reconsideration proposal that referred to the data collected
during the first 4 hours of operation of an energy recovery unit
starting up from a cold start and the hour of operation following the
cessation of waste material being fed to the unit during shutdown.
The EPA received comments on the proposed definition expressing
concern that the time limits included in the definition may not
accurately represent all CISWI unit types. Further, commenters argued
that the same logic should apply for all CEMS-measured emission limits,
not just CO. They explained that, even though CEMS is a compliance
alternative rather than a requirement for most CISWI standards, other
air regulations and permit requirements may require the units to
continue to monitor emissions using CEMS data. Therefore, in the
February 2013 CISWI final rule, the definition was revised to include
all pollutants measured with a CEMS, expanded to include a separate
definition for waste-burning kilns, and revised to remove the 4-hour
and 1-hour time limits in the
[[Page 40960]]
definition. Within that definition, the EPA defined the end of the
startup period and the beginning of the shutdown period as the
introduction and cessation of waste fed to the unit, respectively.
Information available for the best performing units described their
typical operation and supported defining the startup and shutdown
periods based on the introduction and cessation of waste being fed to
the units. Furthermore, for the incinerator, small remote incinerator,
and the ERU subcategories, the February 2013 action specified an upper
limit of 48 hours for startup periods and 24 hours for shutdown periods
of CEMS data, consistent with information provided by commenters.
After the February 2013 CISWI final rule was promulgated, the EPA
received petitions stating that stakeholders did not have the
opportunity to comment on the final definition, especially the clause
that defines the beginning and ending of these periods as the
introduction and cessation, respectively, of waste material being fed
to the combustor. Petitioners argued that, with the inclusion of the
provision ending startup when waste is added to the unit, the end of
startup will occur too early because units that combust waste often
introduce waste before steady state operations to transition from
startup fuel to waste and other primary fuel combustion. For this
reason, the petitioners argued that the EPA should extend the startup
period duration to include the period of time when sources are
transitioning to waste combustion from the startup fuel.
On January 21, 2015, the EPA requested comment on whether the
definition should be revised to extend the startup period to include
this transitional period of combustor operation. In addition, the EPA
requested that commenters suggest provisions that would ensure adequate
application of the CEMS data during startup and shutdown definition,
such as maximum allowable time limits after introduction of waste, if
the agency were to allow solid waste combustion during startup.
Comment: Several commenters supported, to a degree, the EPA's
change in the 2013 final rule from the proposed 4-hour and 1-hour time
limits on the definitions of CEMS data during startup and shutdown to
the more subcategory-specific definitions found in the 2013 final rule,
but suggested additional revisions to make the definition more
accurately reflect these periods for certain types of units. Commenters
noted technical reasons during startup that cause corrected emissions
concentrations to possibly show emissions in excess of those occurring
during normal, steady-state operation due to the 7 percent oxygen
correction. These reasons included: (1) Stack oxygen levels approach
ambient levels, inflating oxygen correction factors even though mass
emission rates are low; (2) the combustor has not attained optimal
temperature, turbulence, and residence time conditions, which are key
factors for control of combustion-related emissions; and (3) air
pollution control equipment has not achieved necessary minimum
temperature and/or other operating conditions necessary for effective
steady-state performance on which the standards are based. The
commenters also asserted that, while elevated emissions do occur during
startups, the magnitude and period of elevated emissions will be
actively minimized as required by the ``general duty'' provisions to
minimize emissions at all times including startups and shutdowns.
Additionally, the commenters argued that, for ERUs, at least, unit
operators are economically motivated to minimize the duration of any
startups, because the shorter the startup, the quicker a unit can be
brought online to sell steam and/or connect to the grid and sell power.
Also with respect to ERUs, commenters stated that units firing solid
material on grates or in fluidized beds require more time for the
material to fully ignite and achieve the optimal combustion conditions
than gaseous or liquid-fired units do. The commenters stated that
elevated corrected emission concentrations following initial solid
material firing is an inherent characteristic of ERU subcategories such
as stoker and fluidized bed biomass ERUs. In conclusion, the commenters
recommended that, given the virtually identical technologies used for
both boilers and CISWI ERUs, the EPA should incorporate language in the
CEMS data definition similar to that which it proposed in the major
source and area source Boiler NESHAP rules. One commenter provided
mark-up language reflecting major source boiler language in the ``CEMS
data for startup and shutdown'' definition that would apply
specifically to CISWI ERUs, and a separate definition that could apply
to incinerators and small remote incinerators. For ERUs, the commenter
suggested the following definition, which eliminates the ``cold start''
and ``until waste is fed to the unit'' language, and adds the concept
of tying the CEMS data during startup period to the time that useful
thermal energy is generated.
The commenter suggested that CEMS data during startup and shutdown
should be defined as follows:
For energy recovery units: CEMS data collected during the first
hours of operation of a CISWI unit startup including the hours of
operation firing non-waste fuel and the hours following introduction of
waste to the unit until 4 hours after when the ERU makes useful thermal
energy (such as steam or heat) for heating, cooling, and process
purposes, or generates electricity, whichever is earlier, and the hours
of operation following the cessation of waste material being fed to the
CISWI unit during a unit shutdown. For each startup event, the length
of time that CEMS data may be claimed as being CEMS data during startup
must be 48 operating hours or less. For each shutdown event, the length
of time that CEMS data may be claimed as being CEMS data during
shutdown must be 24 operating hours or less.
As an alternative to the above definition, the commenter suggested
the definition could include the period of time up to 6 hours following
introduction of waste to the unit instead of tying the definition to
``useful thermal energy.'' The commenter noted that this might allow
the definition to be applicable to incinerators and small remote
incinerators.
Another commenter suggested that the first 48 hours of startup and
the last 24 hours of shutdown for incinerators, small remote
incinerators, and energy recovery units is adequate in most cases. This
commenter stated that any time the feed to a combustion chamber is
modified (e.g., new material added, same material with higher or lower
feed rates), the combustion process is disturbed. The commenter further
stated that the length of time it takes for the combustion process to
re-stabilize depends upon a number of factors (size of the combustion
unit, amount of waste introduced, the Btu content of the waste
introduced, the combustibility of that waste, the operating conditions,
etc.). Therefore, the commenter recommended that the CEMS data during
startup and shutdown are best decided on a site-specific basis and
urged the EPA to allow this as an option.
With respect to waste-burning kilns, one commenter argued that it
is highly beneficial to have the definitions of startup and shutdown
for kilns in the CISWI rule match the definitions in the Portland
Cement NESHAP. Therefore, the commenter supported having a separate
definition of CEMS data during startup and shutdown that applied to
waste-burning kilns, and that this
[[Page 40961]]
definition should also reflect provisions found in the Portland Cement
NESHAP. The commenter provided the following language as a suggestion
on what would be appropriate, and also suggested a corresponding
footnote to clarify that the 7 percent oxygen adjustment need not be
applied during periods of startup and shutdown:
``CEMS data during startup and shutdown means the following: (2)
For waste-burning kilns: CEMS data collected during the periods of kiln
operation that do not include normal operations. Startup means the time
from when a shutdown kiln first begins firing fuel until it begins
producing clinker. Startup begins when a shutdown kiln turns on the
induced draft fan and begins firing fuel in the main burner. Startup
ends when feed is being continuously introduced into the kiln for at
least 120 minutes or when the feed rate exceeds 60 percent of the kiln
design limitation rate, whichever occurs first. Shutdown means the
cessation of kiln operation. Shutdown begins when feed to the kiln is
halted and ends when continuous kiln rotation ceases.''
Response: Based on these comments and the EPA's goal to provide,
where appropriate, consistent regulatory provisions, the EPA has
determined to revise the definition of ``CEMS data during startup and
shutdown'' to be subcategory-specific. For ERUs and waste-burning
kilns, for example, the definition will reflect definitions similar to
those of the non-waste counterpart NESHAP to CISWI for the type of
source. Therefore, the final definition for ERUs will reflect
provisions found in the major source Boiler NESHAP, and the final
definition for waste-burning kilns will reflect provisions similar to
those in the Portland Cement NESHAP. For incinerators and small remote
incinerators, the proposed definition (i.e., from a cold start and up
to 48 hours for startup and 24 hours or less for shutdown) will still
apply. These subcategory-specific definitions provide a consistent
basis for ERUs and kilns that may change applicability periodically so
that owners and operators will have a consistent requirement for
demonstrating compliance regardless of the mode (waste or non-waste)
the unit is being operated in. Furthermore, for incinerators and small
remote incinerators, industry commenters are confident that the full
range of these sources will be able to maintain compliance with these
time allowances that were proposed.
We note that certain commenters indicate that reasons for changing
the definitions include that the units may have greater emissions
during startup and shutdown and also that pollution control equipment
may not be fully operational during startup. The EPA is not revising
the definitions to allow sources to violate the standard; instead the
change is designed to better reflect the actual operating conditions
during startup and shutdown. The oxygen correction is thus designed to
allow sources to use actual stack oxygen levels during these periods
instead of numbers corrected to 7 percent oxygen.\1\ If sources believe
that, even with the stack oxygen correction, emissions will exceed the
levels of the standard because of incomplete combustion or because air
pollution controls are not fully operational, they must take steps
(e.g., burn clean startup fuel for longer periods) to ensure
compliance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Stack oxygen data must still be measured during these
periods, but since a correction to stack oxygen essentially means
multiplying the measured concentration by 1, the concentration value
measured at stack oxygen is used to calculate average
concentrations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, the subcategory-specific definitions of ``CEMS data during
startup and shutdown'' in this final rule more clearly specify the
beginning and end of startup and shutdown periods for each subcategory
of CISWI unit. However, we realize in doing so that the previous,
separate definitions of ``startup period'' and ``shutdown'' that have
been held over from the 2000 CISWI rule may now cause confusion for
waste-burning kilns and ERUs especially. Because the 2000 CISWI rule
applied to incinerator units (and not ERUs and waste-burning kilns), we
recognize the need to clarify that the ``startup period'' and
``shutdown'' definitions apply only to incinerators and small, remote
incinerators. For this reason, the EPA is revising the definitions of
``startup period'' and ``shutdown'' to clarify that they are intended
to apply only to incinerators and small, remote incinerators.
Comment: One commenter argued that allowing sources to comply with
emissions standards based on uncorrected emissions measurements would
be unlawful and arbitrary. The commenter explained that the EPA does
not claim that all units will have oxygen levels close to the ambient
air, that any units' oxygen levels will actually be at the level of the
ambient air during these periods, or that any units' oxygen levels will
be at that high level consistently. The commenter suggested that the
EPA should instead consider several other approaches. First, the
commenter suggested that the EPA could require sources to show
compliance during these periods using another method, such as stack
tests. The commenter stated that the EPA recognized that CEMS are a
compliance alternative rather than a requirement for most CISWI
standards. The commenter also argued that the EPA stated it is
maintaining CEMS as a compliance alternative during these periods
because ``other air regulations and permit requirements may require''
CEMS data. However, the commenter argued that the EPA did not state
what these other requirements are, or why the same CEMS problems it has
identified here do not apply to them. The commenter further argued that
even if other regulatory requirements do require sources to maintain
CEMS data, that does not compel the EPA to accept their data as
demonstrative of compliance with the requirements of the performance
standards and emissions guidelines for air pollution from CISWI. The
commenter also suggested that, if the CEMS compliance alternative were
retained, the EPA could require sources to correct their measurements
to the level of oxygen actually present, as measured by an oxygen
analyzer or another method. Finally, the commenter offered as an
alternative that the EPA could develop mass-based limits instead of
concentration-based limits, which do not require oxygen correction. The
commenter concluded that, because the EPA has not even considered these
alternatives, the proposal to allow sources to show compliance based on
measurements it does not dispute will be inaccurate is arbitrary as
well as unlawful.
Response: As we noted in the proposed rule, the rules generally
require stack emissions testing. These tests can span several hours.
The CISWI rule emission limits were based on data obtained during
normal operations, which is also what the rule requires for conducting
performance testing (see 40 CFR 60.2125(a) and 40 CFR 60.2690(a)). As
has been noted in other comments and in the costing analyses presented
in support of the CISWI rulemaking, the emission testing program is not
trivial in cost and effort. Therefore, adding a requirement for
additional stack testing during startup and shutdown periods, which
seems to be what this commenter suggests, would further add to the
compliance cost of the rule for obtaining data for a small portion of
the source's operations. The EPA does not believe this additional
monitoring is required to assure compliance with the standards.
As noted before and by some commenters, monitoring by CEMS is an
alternative, and may be useful for sources that are required by permit
or for Acid Rain program requirements (40
[[Page 40962]]
CFR part 75) to continually monitor emissions of certain pollutants,
primarily NOX and SO2. The EPA realized that the
interaction of newly applicable CISWI standards to ERUs and waste-
burning kilns may differ from existing requirements for these sources
developed under the Acid Rain program, permit requirements enacted for
state or local conditions, or even under various consent decrees. The
EPA also recognizes that different programs measure and evaluate
emissions for various purposes and in differing formats (e.g., lb/
MMBtu), and therefore disagrees with the commenter's assertions that if
these other programs do not need these provisions, then neither should
CISWI. In fact, the EPA maintains that the reasons other programs may
not require separate definitions is because they already have separate
startup and shutdown requirements in place for the program. For
example, appendix F of 40 CFR part 75 allows sources to calculate a
NOX emission rate using a ``diluent cap'' during periods of
operation (startup and shutdown) where CO2 and O2
are near ambient air levels.\2\ As many commenters have noted, these
``CEMS data during startup and shutdown'' revisions being finalized are
necessary to make attainable the CISWI requirement for the standards to
``apply at all times'' for sources that are otherwise required to
measure emissions using CEMS or that opt to measure emissions
continually. Further, the EPA does acknowledge that there are
instances, such as this one, where consistent regulatory provisions
will make compliance demonstrations easier for affected sources and
implementing agencies while still maintaining the integrity and goals
of the regulation. That is the case here, where multiple programs may
require or allow CEMS data for continuous compliance demonstrations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See the ``2013 revision of the Part 75 Emissions Policy
Manual'' accessed August 18, 2015 at http://www.epa.gov/airmarkets/documents/monitoring/Final-Part75-Policy-Manual-2013-revised-08-27-13.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The commenter also suggested that either using CEMS data corrected
to stack oxygen or developing a mass-based standard should be
investigated. In essence, though, the revised provisions allow CEMS
data to be ``corrected to'' stack oxygen levels (that is, the numerator
and denominator of the oxygen correction are equal, so the correction
factor equals 1). Sources must still measure and record concentrations
and stack oxygen levels during these periods, and must keep records of
periods of CEMS data that are being claimed as periods of startup and
shutdown (See 40 CFR 60.2175(p) and 40 CFR 60.2740(o)). As many
commenters have already noted, the oxygen levels fluctuate widely
during startup and shutdown periods, so any basis other than using
stack oxygen levels for correction during this period would run into
the same type of calculation issue that we are attempting to remedy.
Similarly, a mass-based standard for CISWI units would be a significant
departure from the format of the existing standards, further
complicating compliance demonstrations by the facility and assessment
by the implementing agency. In order to develop a calculation-based
approach, the EPA would need to have information on the specific
materials being fed and resultant emissions for each of the best
performing units during startup and shutdown periods. These are data
that we do not have and the commenter did not provide any
recommendations on an approach that the EPA could consider absent these
data. In addition, the EPA did not reopen the specific standards or
form of the standards in the proposed rule, and we decline to establish
mass-based emission standards for that reason as well. We are not
revising the standards, but are revising only the monitoring provisions
of the standards to ensure that CEMS data collected are representative
of actual emissions during startup and shutdown periods and are not
being artificially inflated or influenced due to the 7 percent oxygen
correction. In the revisions, these intervals are clearly defined and
specific to the unit type to ensure this period is reasonable to ensure
safe operation while minimizing emissions.
B. PM Limit for the Waste-Burning Kiln Subcategory
Background: In the January 21, 2015, proposal, the EPA solicited
comments on the data set used to determine PM limits for new and
existing waste-burning kilns in the February 2013 final rule.
The March 2011 CISWI final rule promulgated PM emissions limits of
6.2 milligrams per dry standard cubic meter (mg/dscm) for existing
units, and 2.5 mg/dscm for new units, both corrected to 7 percent
oxygen. In an action parallel to the March 21, 2011, final CISWI rule,
the EPA promulgated a final rule that identifies the standards and
procedures for identifying whether non-hazardous secondary materials
(NHSM) are or are not solid waste when used as fuels or ingredients in
combustion units. The EPA defines the NHSM that are solid waste under
RCRA in the final ``Identification of Non-Hazardous Secondary Materials
That Are Solid Waste'' rulemaking. The RCRA definition of solid waste
is integral in defining the CISWI source category. Commercial and
industrial units that combust solid waste are subject to standards
issued pursuant to CAA section 129, rather than to standards issued
pursuant to CAA section 112 that would otherwise be applicable to such
units (e.g., boilers, process heaters and cement kilns). Cement kilns
combusting solid waste are waste-burning kilns subject to CISWI, not
the otherwise applicable Portland Cement NESHAP. Following promulgation
of the 2011 CISWI rule, the EPA again analyzed the materials being
combusted in the entire national inventory of Portland cement kilns in
light of the revisions to the NHSM rule, and made revisions to the
CISWI waste-burning kiln inventory. When kilns were added to the
inventory and their emissions data considered, the resulting NSPS and
EG PM emission limits proposed in the December 2011 reconsideration
were less stringent than those established in the March 2011 CISWI
final rule.
Following the December 2011 reconsideration proposal, the EPA
learned that one of the kilns in the CISWI inventory was no longer
burning waste, and another kiln that was not thought to be burning
waste materials was doing so. The CISWI waste-burning kiln inventory
was revised during the period between proposal and final to reflect
these changes, and the database updated to include emissions data for
the newly identified unit, as well as some additional test reports
obtained for units within the inventory. The EPA calculated the maximum
achievable control technology (MACT) floors after making the
appropriate revisions to the inventory and the new NSPS and EG PM
emission limits were more stringent than those proposed in the December
2011 reconsideration proposal. Table 1 of this preamble tracks the
progression of the waste-burning kiln PM limits from the March 2011
final rule through the February 2013 final rule.
Throughout the CISWI rulemaking process from March 2011 through
February 2013, the EPA used the same calculation methodology (i.e., the
upper prediction limit calculated from a population of individual test
runs) to establish the emission limits for waste-burning kilns.
However, the data set used in these calculations has changed and grown
over this period of time as the agency has revised the CISWI inventory
based on information submitted to the agency by the regulated
[[Page 40963]]
community and new data are submitted. As a result, a petitioner has
suggested that the current PM emission data set for waste-burning kilns
is robust enough to warrant using 3-run emission test averages as the
data population rather than the individual test runs. According to the
commenter, using this approach to calculate emission limits would
result in PM emission limits that are different than those of the
February 2013 CISWI final rule.
In the context of MACT analyses, as the EPA noted in the January
21, 2015 proposal, emission test averages or individual test run data
can be used to determine emissions variability of best performers. We
also noted that we typically use individual test runs, but for
categories with data from 15 \3\ or more sources, which would provide
at least 45 test runs, we may choose to use test averages. In these
larger data sets, the use of test averages are likely to be
sufficiently representative of long term performance and variability
without the need for use of the individual test runs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ The 15 test average number discussed in the January 21, 2015
proposal was not a ``bright line'' value used to establish a
possible threshold for when test runs versus test averages may be
selected. Rather, this number was an illustrative number that was
being discussed as an example in internal EPA discussions at the
time the proposal was being written.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the January 21, 2015 proposal, the EPA solicited comment on the
data set used in the February 2013 final rule, as well as whether this
data set warrants a different calculation approach due to its size or
other factors. See the memoranda titled ``Potential Emission Limits
Calculation Analyses for Waste-burning Kilns and Coal ERUs,''
``Approach for Applying the Upper Prediction Limit to Limited Data
Sets,'' and ``Use of the Upper Prediction Limit for Calculating MACT
Floors'' in the CISWI docket for more details.
Comment: Two commenters supported the use of emission test averages
to determine emission standards. One commenter strongly believed that
use of test averages is the only valid way to conduct calculations of
upper predictive limit (UPL) or other variability analyses because only
test averages, and not individual test runs, are statistically
independent from one another, as the UPL calculation requires. Both
commenters argued that it is crucial that the UPL calculation reflect
the actual variability of compliance test results for the best
performing kilns that set the floors, and stated that this goal is best
accomplished by using stack test results (which are the average of
three consecutive test runs) in the UPL calculation, rather than using
test runs as individual data points. One commenter noted that the data
set for PM emissions from waste-burning kilns is among the largest for
any source category or pollutant in the CISWI rule, consisting of 24
stack tests (equivalent to 72 individual test runs) for the pool of
three best performers.
One commenter described control measures that Portland Cement
NESHAP and waste-burning kilns will need to take to meet the 13.5 mg/
dscm limit for existing waste-burning kilns that was discussed, noting
that baghouse equipment will still need to be improved at many kilns to
meet this limit. The commenter also pointed out that the performance of
a baghouse on a kiln is comparable whether it is a Portland Cement
NESHAP kiln or a CISWI kiln. The commenter went on to use this
discussion and data from the Portland Cement NESHAP analyses to support
the 13.5 mg/dscm limit (which equates to 0.075 lb/ton clinker on a
production basis, as compared to the existing kiln PM limit of 0.07 lb/
ton clinker in the Portland Cement NESHAP) and to demonstrate that the
current beyond-the-floor analysis done for the 2013 CISWI final rule is
still applicable despite the new PM emission limit.
Response: We agree that the data set for PM for existing waste-
burning kilns is sufficiently large to support using stack test
averages, as some commenters have supported. For new sources, the EPA
realizes that there is a smaller number of data points available when
test averages are considered since only the data from the best-
performing source are included in the calculation.\4\ However, as the
EPA has intended within each of the CISWI subcategories, a consistent
approach to the emission limit calculation is used for existing and new
sources within a subcategory (e.g., upper limit for small remote, UPL
for waste-burning kilns). That is, in the case of PM for waste-burning
kilns, the UPL using test averages is being used to calculate both
existing and new source emission limits.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ Although this data set is smaller than that for existing
sources, the EPA does not consider the new source data set to be a
small or limited data set.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We also note that, for this particular data set, there are distinct
advantages to using this approach. One advantage is that there is a
significant amount of test data for the best-performing source. These
runs reflect various fuel and waste material firing conditions for the
best-performing unit. By splitting the data for the best-performing
source into sets of three according to the operational condition (waste
or non-waste), each of the resulting averages is more representative of
the fuel, waste, and operational variability demonstrated by the other
3-run test averages found in the data set for this source and for the
other existing source best performers. In other words, the time
periods--and variability in process inputs and operations these periods
represent--are approximately equal for each data point in the average
data set for existing and new sources. This approach also has the added
benefit of a slightly larger time period of operations being
represented by the data, since there is one additional average that can
be included in the data pool (i.e., no test run data are available, but
the average is).
We also reviewed the information submitted by the commenters on the
costs and emission improvement requirements existing kilns will need to
undertake to meet the revised emission limits, as well as our own
assessment of control improvements needed, and agree with the
assessment that beyond-the-floor emission standards for waste-burning
kiln PM limits are unwarranted. In our analysis, the same kilns that
would need improvements for the 2013 PM limits still need to add these
improvements to meet the 13.5 mg/dscm standards (as well as the CISWI
limits for Cd and Pb, which are not being revised but are also
controlled by PM control devices). The technology most likely being
used to meet the standards would be fabric filters (baghouses), which
is a physical control technology. Information supplied by the industry
indicate that many cement kilns will require highly efficient fabric
filters to meet the 13.5 mg/dscm standards. Fabric filters do not have
a variable component, such as sorbent injection rates, that can be
varied easily once the system is designed and the filter media
specified. Therefore, unlike other control technologies, the PM removal
efficiency of fabric filters does not depend on other factors in the
process and control device's performance will essentially be the same
regardless of other process inputs. Therefore, the EPA is finalizing
the 13.5 mg/dscm and 4.9 mg/dscm emission limits discussed at proposal
for existing and new waste-burning kilns, respectively, based on the
analysis of emission test average data.
The calculated PM emission limits using the test averages are
presented in Table 1 of this preamble for comparison. The calculations
used to support the 2015 emission limit values, analyses of impacts and
discussion of beyond-the-floor considerations are available in the
``Revised Emission Limits and Impacts Analyses for Waste-burning Kilns
and

Comment: One commenter disagreed with the proposed approach of
using stack test average data, arguing that because the EPA's standards
are already set at the floor, and the floor is the minimum stringency
permitted by the CAA, the EPA's proposed change is unlawful at Chevron
step one.\5\ The commenter further argued that the EPA does not give
any statutory reasons for its proposed change, and therefore its
proposal is unreasonable at Chevron step two. NRDC v. EPA, No. 12-1321,
slip op. at 23 (D.C. Cir. Dec. 23, 2014) (``EPA must `ground its
reasons for action or inaction in the statute.' '') (quoting Util. Air
Regulatory Grp. v. EPA, 134 S. Ct. 2427, 2441 (2014)). The commenter
contended that the only reason the EPA gives in support of this change
is that the data set for kilns is relatively large and so switching to
test averages instead of individual test runs ``is expected to make
very little difference.'' The commenter concluded that the EPA's
proposed change illustrates that the UPL approach is unlawful and
arbitrary because it does not yield reasonable estimates of the
``average emission limitation achieved'' by the best performing units.
An industry commenter asserted that the stack test averages yield
reasonable estimates of the average emission limitation achieved by the
best performing units, and referred to their original comment submittal
to the proposed rule as support. The commenter then repeated that the
EPA should use stack test averages in the UPL calculation whenever
there are sufficient data to support their use. The commenter concluded
that the use of test runs can be justified only when the limited
availability of emissions data demands the use of test runs; this is
not the case in the CISWI PM limit for kilns.

\5\ Chevron U.S.A. v. NRDC, 467 U.S. 837 (1984).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Response: As discussed earlier, the EPA incorporated considerable
new data and moved kilns from the NESHAP to CISWI between the proposed
and final CISWI reconsideration concluded in 2013. The inclusion of
additional sources and data lead to more stringent standards and the
public was not provided an opportunity to comment on those limits and
the manner of their calclulation. For this reason, parties petitioned
EPA to reconsider those limits consistent with CAA section
307(d)(7)(B), and the EPA granted reconsideration consistent with the
statute to provide the public an opportunity to comment. The EPA
maintains that its actions in response to the changed circumstances
(i.e., new data and sources) and the petitions for reconsideration are
consistent with the statute and, for this reason, we reject the
commenter's argument that EPA has somehow violated the standard setting
provisions of section 112.
Further, we have determined that the data set for existing waste-
burning kilns for PM is sufficient to address longer-term performance
and variability among the best-performing sources and justifies the use
of test average data. While the data set for new waste-burning kilns is
smaller in count than that of the existing sources, it is not
considered a small data set, and the EPA has concerns about not
treating variability consistently between existing and new source
emission limits within the same subcategory.
With respect to the commenter's arguments about the UPL calculation
methodology, the EPA did not open the UPL calculation methodology for
reconsideration, so we are not responding to the commenter's arguments
on this issue.
C. FVF for Coal-Burning Energy Recovery Units
Background: In the January 21, 2015, proposal, the EPA requested
comments and supporting data regarding the need to establish an FVF for
the ERU solids (coal) subcategory. In particular, the EPA requested
comments on using stack test data from coal-only periods of operation
in our emission limit calculations, and whether the EPA should re-
evaluate the NOX emission limit by using the additional CEMS
data provided for the best-performing unit. The preamble to the 2013
final CISWI rule (78 FR 9112, February 7, 2013) explained the
methodology used to establish the final emission limits, which relied
almost exclusively on direct emissions measurements. A petitioner
requested that EPA reconsider the decision not to incorporate fuel
variability into the emission limit calculations for coal-fired ERUs
based on new information.
Table 2 of this preamble presents a comparison of the 2013 final
rule emission limits for existing coal ERUs and the emission limits
calculated using all data available (i.e., waste and coal-only modes of
operation), FVF calculation techniques, and the additional CEMS data
provided by the petitioner.

Comment: Several commenters supported the revision of these
emission limits, claiming that the EPA should account for all sources
of emissions variability. Commenters argued that adjustments for fuel
variability should be based on worst case conditions so that the floors
represent the emission limitations that the best performers can achieve
under the worst foreseeable circumstances. They maintained that
emissions test data only reflect the pollutant content of a unit's
inputs at the time of emissions testing, noting that fuel and solid
waste composition vary over time. As an example, commenters referenced
HCl data submitted for the top performer, noting that if the HCl limit
for existing units remains at 13 ppmv (from the 2013 final CISWI rule),
the best performing unit would fail to meet the limit consistently. The
commenters further expressed their support for basing the FVF on the
maximum ratio of non-paired fuel data with paired fuel data (yielding a
limit of 58 ppmv) as opposed to the average ratio (yielding a limit of
19 ppmv), because the HCl data showed the average-based limit was also
exceeded several times over an 8-year period. In order to make the HCl
limit achievable in practice, the commenters concluded that the EPA
must set the final HCl limit to 58 ppmv.
One commenter pointed out that the consideration of fuel
variability is of particular importance because a CISWI unit remains a
CISWI unit until it ceases to burn waste for at least 6 months. The
commenter explained that estimating emission levels achieved when a
unit was burning waste and coal does not reflect the level achieved
when combusting only coal. Commenters also called attention to the
boiler and process heater standards, which account for fuel supply
variability, and contended that the EPA should do the same for CIWSI
because ERUs would be subject to the boiler standards if they did not
combust waste in addition to fossil fuels.
One commenter indicated that the EPA had not properly addressed
fuel variability for the SO2 emission limit. According to
the commenter, previously submitted data showed that the 2013 final
limit of 650 ppmvd would not be high enough to allow the top performer
to comply every day under all operating conditions. In developing the
potential limits presented in the proposed reconsideration, the EPA did
not develop a FVF for SO2 because only one fuel data point
for sulfur was available to be paired with SO2 emissions
data. The commenter explained that even though only one date from the
fuel data matched up with the week of SO2 CEMS data, the lag
time between the fuel sample date and actual combustion in the boiler
is typically 4-9 days, so portions of both the August 14 and August 21,
2009, coal shipments would have been burned during the CEMS period from
August 23 through August 30, 2009. Therefore, the commenter explained,
sulfur data from these two shipments could be paired with the CEMS
data, which would make it appropriate to develop a FVF for
SO2, similar to what was done for HCl.
Response: The EPA is finalizing the emission limits for Cd, HCl,
Hg, Pb, PM, and NOX that incorporate a FVF and coal-only
mode of operation data and were discussed in the January 21, 2015
proposal. See 80 FR at 3023. In addition, the EPA has determined that
we have sufficient data to incorporate a FVF into the SO2
limit in the same manner as the standards for the other section 129
pollutants above.
At proposal, the agency explained our rationale for considering
emission limits that incorporate a FVF for fuel-dependent pollutants
(i.e., HCl, Pb, Cd, Hg, and SO2) [See 80 FR at 3022] and
presented the methodology [See Memo titled ``Potential Emission Limits
Calculations Analyses for Waste-burning Kilns and Coal ERUs, December
12, 2014] we would use to do so. We also presented the available data.
In addition, for Cd, HCl, Hg, Pb, PM and NOX, the EPA
identified the emission limits that incorporate a FVF and were derived
from that data and using the proposed methodology. The proposal did not
identify a specific SO2 emission limit that incorporated a
FVF because, as explained in the proposal, at that time, the EPA did
not believe the data from the best performing units included the
information necessary to calculate a FVF for SO2. See 80 FR
at 3022; see also Memo titled ``Potential Emission Limits Calculations
Analyses for Waste-burning Kilns and Coal ERUs, December 12, 2014. The
proposal, however, made clear that the rationale for deciding to
incorporate a FVF into the emission limits for coal-fired ERUs applied
to all fuel-dependent pollutants, including SO2, and the
agency provided the methodology for incorporated a FVF. The comments
received demonstrated that the available SO2 data from the
best performing units--the data in the docket at the time of proposal--
does in fact include the information required to establish a fuel
variability factor. Specifically, the EPA confirms that the data set
includes sufficient paired SO2 data to evaluate the need for
a FVF. Thus, all information necessary to address whether a FVF should
be incorporated into the SO2 standard, and to identify the
specific SO2 emission limit incorporating a FVF was
available in the docket at the time of proposal. Thus, in this final
rule, the EPA has re-evaluated the fuel sulfur data with paired
SO2 data and is incorporating a FVF in the floor
calculations for SO2 using the same methodology that was
discussed in the proposal. The resulting SO2 limit for
existing and new coal ERUs is 850 ppmvd.
[[Page 40966]]
Comment: One commenter did not support the incorporation of FVFs in
determining emission limits, arguing that increasing the floors to
account for variability would be unlawful and arbitrary because the UPL
methodology used to develop the floors already accounts for emissions
variability. According to the commenter, the floors should not be
increased further because CAA section 129 directs that standards should
be no less stringent than the average emissions achieved by the best
performing units. In other words, the commenter explained, a standard
must reflect a reasonable estimate of the actual performance of the
best units.
The commenter further noted that even if it were lawful to
incorporate a FVF at all, the FVF should be based on the average ratio,
as opposed to the maximum ratio, because the maximum ratio does not
yield a reasonable estimate of the average emissions limitation
achieved by the best performing sources, yielding floors less stringent
than the statute permits.
Response: The EPA disagrees with the argument that incorporating a
FVF in these standards overaccounts for variability. Fuel data provided
for the top performing units show that performance for coal-burning
ERUs, based solely on the short-term stack test data available for
these units, does not adequately reflect the sustained performance and
different fuel inputs that are used by the best performing source upon
which the standards were based. As stated in response to similar
comments submitted on the Boiler NESHAP (See EPA-HQ-OAR-2002-0058-3511,
excerpt 15, page 111), and consistent with the DC Circuit Court ruling,
the EPA is mindful that MACT floors need to reflect achieved
performance of the best-performing units, that HAP (or pollutant, for
CAA section 129 rules such as CISWI) content of process inputs (raw
materials and fuels) should be accounted for in ascertaining the
sources' performance as necessary, and that the EPA cannot consider
costs in ascertaining the level of the MACT floor. See, e.g., Brick
MACT, 479 F. 3d at 880-81, 882-83; NRDC v. EPA, 489 F. 3d 1364, 1376
(D.C. Cir. 2007) (``Plywood MACT''); see also Cement Kiln Recycling
Coalition v. EPA, 255 F. 3d 855, 861-62 (D.C. Cir. 2001)
(``achievability'' requirement of CAA section 112 (d)(2) cannot
override the requirement that floors be calculated on the basis of what
best performers actually achieved). The EPA is also mindful of the need
to account for sources' variability (both due to control device
performance and variability in inputs) in assessing sources'
performance when developing technology-based standards. See, e.g.,
Mossville Environmental Action Now v. EPA, 370 F. 3d 1232, 1242 (D.C.
Cir. 2004); National Lime I, 627 F. 2d 416, 433-34 (D.C. Cir. 1980). In
most cases, the UPL sufficiently accounts for both control device
performance and input variability. However, in this case, a review of
the data for the best-performing coal-burning ERUs indicated that
short-term stack test data alone did not fully account for longer term
emissions performance in this case. While fuels combusted within a
short term 3-hour test would be expected to be fairly consistent in
their contaminant levels, multi-year fuel input data for the best-
performing unit show that Hg, Cl, Pb, and sulfur levels can vary
significantly between the times the best performing unit is combusting
a combination of waste and traditional fuel and the times it is
combusting traditional fuels alone, and that there is variability in
the pollutant content of the traditional fuel alone as well. In light
of this, the EPA believes it is reasonable to incorporate a FVF for
this subcategory of CISWI units to better reflect the performance of
the best performing coal-burning ERUs.
Regarding the commenter's assertions that the average ratio should
be used instead of the maximum ratio in calculating the FVF, we note
that, unlike situations present in the Boiler NESHAP, the best-
performing units in the coal ERU subcategory (all located at the same
facility) are not burning a variety of fuels. These CISWI ERU units
burn coal, and periodically an industrial waste generated at the
facility. Therefore, there is one fuel and one waste that is input that
will influence emissions. This is not the case for the boiler best-
performers in the Boiler NESHAP solid fuel subcategory, as these
consisted of a ``mix of biomass, coal and other solid fossil fuel''
data (See EPA-HQ-OAR-2002-0058-3836, August 2012). In the boiler
rulemaking, the EPA was concerned that this heterogeneous mix of best
performer fuel inputs and the use of the maximum ratio would
overestimate fuel variability. However, for the CISWI coal ERUs, we are
dealing with a single fuel type (coal), and the same concern does not
apply. Since CISWI applicability extends for a period beyond the waste-
combustion periods, variability in this one fuel influences emissions
for a significant portion of the best-performers' operations.
Therefore, we have determined that the maximum ratio is appropriate in
this case to fully account for the best-performer's variability in fuel
inputs.
The FVF accounts for fuel variability between sources using long-
term fuel measurement data that represent inherent natural variations
in fuel usage at the best performing unit over time. The FVF is used in
conjunction with the 99 percent UPL to characterize long-term
variability due to technological controls and fuel characteristics. The
results are MACT floors that reasonably estimate the performance over
time of the best performing sources (there are three identical units at
one facility that are best performers for this subcategory of unit,
with only one additional unit that may be in this subcategory). These
calculations are described in more detail in the ``Revised Emission
Limits and Impacts Analyses for Waste-burning Kilns and Coal ERUs''
memorandum found in the docket to this rulemaking.
For these reasons, the EPA is adopting the revised emission limits
for coal ERUs discussed in the January 21, 2015, proposal, and the
agency is also incorporating a FVF into the SO2 limit as
discussed above.
D. Definition of ``Kiln''
Background: In the January 21, 2015, notice, the EPA requested
comment on its proposal to revise the definition of ``kiln'' and
proposal to add definitions of ``in-line raw mill'' and ``in-line coal
mill'' to further clarify the boundaries of the waste-burning kiln.
Because the in-line raw mill and in-line coal mill are part of the
kiln, the kiln emission limits also apply to the exhaust of the in-line
raw mill and in-line coal mill. For more background on this issue, the
EPA discussed at length in the preamble to the proposed Portland Cement
NESHAP a potential regulatory regime to cover situations where a
portion of the kiln exhaust is ducted to the coal mill. See 77 FR
42383-85; see also the regulatory text at 77 FR 42398, 42402-06, 42408-
09.
For waste-burning kilns, the EPA proposed language in the
definition of ``kiln'' to make it consistent with that of the Portland
Cement NESHAP. The terms ``in-line raw mill'' and ``in-line coal mill''
were proposed to be included in the definition, and, therefore, were
proposed to be added to the definitions within the CISWI rule.
In addition to the proposed definitional amendments in the January
21, 2015, notice, the EPA proposed a compliance demonstration and
ongoing monitoring method for waste-burning kilns that combine emission
streams from the in-line raw mill and in-line coal mill and exhaust
through multiple stacks. The EPA is finalizing the proposed approach
with some minor revisions to address comments as
[[Page 40967]]
discussed below. The final rule will allow sources to measure pollutant
concentrations and flows from each of the stacks (i.e., kiln, alkali
bypass, and in-line coal mill, as applicable) and calculate a flow-
weighted average kiln stack concentration that must be met in order to
be in compliance with the CISWI waste-burning kiln emission limits.
These provisions are modeled upon similar provisions and equations
found in the Portland Cement NESHAP, and should streamline compliance
demonstrations for waste-burning kilns that combine streams prior to
discharge to the atmosphere through one or more stacks. The proposed
calculation method and measurement location options are found in 40 CFR
60.2145 and 40 CFR 60.2710. The EPA requested comment on the
definitional and calculation method changes for demonstrating
compliance for waste-burning kilns that combine streams prior to
discharge to the atmosphere through one or more stacks.
Comment: Although there were no specific comments on the revised
definition of ``kiln'' or on the addition of the definitions of ``in-
line raw mill'' and ``in-line coal mill,'' one commenter expressed the
need to change monitoring and compliance requirements for alkali bypass
and/or in-line coal mill to be consistent with the Portland Cement
NESHAP. The commenter contended the use of CEMS and the PM CPMS for
either an alkali bypass or an in-line coal mill is unnecessary, as they
represent a relatively minor part of the overall kiln emissions and
their emissions will vary directionally with the main kiln stack
concentrations. Therefore, the commenter suggested that monitoring the
main kiln stack alone can provide an indication of overall emissions
and compliance. The commenter stated that the appropriate monitoring
and compliance requirements have already been addressed in the Portland
Cement NESHAP rule and requested that the EPA adopt a similar approach
for the CISWI standards. The commenter also suggested that the EPA
clarify the level of testing and monitoring that applies to either an
alkali by-pass or an in-line coal mill.
Response: To provide additional consistency between CISWI and the
Portland Cement NESHAP, the EPA is adding clarifying language in the
final rule that makes the monitoring requirements for waste-burning
kilns consistent with those in the Portland Cement NESHAP.
Specifically, we are not requiring that CEMS or PM CPMS need to be
installed on separate alkali bypass or in-line coal mill stacks.
Instead, as is the case with the Portland Cement NESHAP, the results of
the initial and subsequent performance test for the alkali bypass and
in-line coal mill stacks can be used to determine the combined
emissions to demonstrate compliance with the relevant emissions limit.
However, unlike the Portland Cement NESHAP, the performance test must
be conducted on an annual basis (between 11 and 13 calendar months
following the previous performance test) to keep the testing schedule
for these stacks consistent with the CISWI rule's annual performance
testing requirements.
V. Technical Corrections and Clarifications
In the January 21, 2015, notice, the EPA proposed to correct minor
typographical errors and clarify provisions of the final rule that may
have been unclear. The EPA is finalizing these corrections, which are
summarized in this section of the preamble. There were some comments
received on these clarifications. These comments, and responses to
them, are found in the ``2013 CISWI Rule Reconsideration Response to
Comments.''
A. 2000 CISWI New Source Applicability Clarification for Incinerators
and Air Curtain Incinerators
Following promulgation of the February 2013 CISWI final rule, the
EPA received questions regarding the continued applicability of the
2000 CISWI NSPS for units that are subject to the 2000 CISWI NSPS as
they are transitioned from the 2000 NSPS to the February 2013 EG with
which they will eventually be required to comply. The 2000 CISWI NSPS
are the same as the 2000 CISWI EG and limited in applicability to the
incinerator subcategory and air curtain incinerators so only these
types of CISWI units being regulated in the February 2013 CISWI final
rules are affected by this applicability issue. The EPA intended,
consistent with the statute and our stated intent (see 76 FR 15711,
March 21, 2011), to continue to regulate these units as ``new'' sources
under the 2000 NSPS, and then regulate them as ``existing'' sources
under the 2013 EG once these units were covered under an approved state
plan or federal plan that implements the February 2013 CISWI final EG.
The language in the February 7, 2013, NSPS at 40 CFR 60.2105 and the
title of Table 1 to 40 CFR part 60, subpart CCCC make the EPA's intent
to do so evident. However, the applicability section in 40 CFR 60.2015
omitted the applicability provisions for incinerators and air curtain
incinerators that are subject to the 2000 CISWI NSPS. In this final
rule, the EPA is finalizing proposed additional language in 40 CFR
60.2015(a) and 40 CFR 60.2105(b) that clarifies that these incinerators
and air curtain incinerators remain ``new'' units regulated under the
2000 NSPS until such time that an approved state plan or federal plan
implements the February 2013 EG for those units, at which time such
units will be subject to the 2013 EG to the extent those limits are
more stringent than the 2000 CISWI NSPS limits, which will continue to
apply if they are more stringent.
B. Typographical Errors and Corrections
The following items are typographical errors in the final rule that
we are correcting in this final action:

through (iv) . . .'' to ``. . . paragraphs (i)(2)(i)(A) through
(i)(2)(i)(C) . . .''.
Two references in the definitions of terms for Equation 3
in 40 CFR 60.2110(i)(2)(iv) were revised. For the `z' term, ``(2)(a)''

also clarify the output signals from digital monitoring devices and
remove ``lb/Mmbtu'' typographical errors.
The reference in 40 CFR 60.2165(q)(1) was changed from
``Sec. 60.2675'' to ``Sec. 60.2140''.

from the 2000 CISWI rule were omitted in the current CFR version of the
rule, and have been reinserted.
Added text in 40 CFR 60.2525(b) and 60.2535(b) to clarify
applicability for incinerators and air curtain incinerators that were

annual average heat input rates'' was added to 40 CFR 60.2730(m) for
clarification and consistency.
The definition of chemical recovery unit in 40 CFR 60.2265
was revised to be consistent with the definition provided in 40 CFR
60.2875. The following text was added: ``A chemical recovery unit is
not an incinerator, a waste-burning kiln, an energy recovery unit or a
small, remote incinerator under this subpart.''
Clarifying language was added to the HCl row of 40 CFR
part 60, subpart DDDD Table 8. Compliance method text was changed from
``. . . if a wet scrubber is not used'' to ``. . . if a wet scrubber or

C. Clarifications
Since publication of the February 7, 2013, final CISWI rule, the
EPA has received stakeholder questions and requests for clarification
on certain rule provisions. We are not finalizing any regulatory
language changes for the following items, but are providing some
clarification to these questions. Furthermore, comments received on
these clarifications and responses to these comments are found in the
``Response to Comments on the 2015 CISWI Reconsideration'' document
found in the docket:
Mass balance as operating limits for units without certain
control devices--A stakeholder has asked for clarification on whether a
mass balance could be used as an operating parameter, and whether this
must be measured as a 30-day rolling average instead of taking a
monthly sample. Furthermore, the stakeholder also asked whether the
material balance allows them to waive annual stack testing. The EPA
clarifies that mass balance operating parameters do not replace annual
stack testing. Stack testing and operating parameters work in tandem to
ensure ongoing compliance with the standards. We do, however, accept
that mass balance could be an allowable operating parameter in cases
where no control device is needed to meet the pollutant's specific
emission limit applicable to the unit, provided the petition for the
operating parameter limits meets the requirements specified in 40 CFR
60.2115 and 40 CFR 60.2680. We also point out that these requirements
also allow any source to request a different averaging time that is
appropriate for the source and operating parameter.
Clarification on who the ``EPA Administrator'' is and whom
to contact for requests for averaging times, qualifying facility
notifications, etc. We have received questions on how to contact the
Administrator to submit notifications, reports and requests. The
contact information is given in the General Provisions, under 40 CFR
60.4, and has addresses listed by EPA Regional Offices.
VI. Environmental, Energy and Economic Impacts
This action finalizes the proposed provisions and makes technical
and clarifying corrections, but does not cause substantive changes to
the impacts on the environment, energy generation and usage, and
economic factors for affected sources from the February 7, 2013, final
CISWI rule (78 FR 9112). The number of sources requiring improved
emission control performance is the same as estimated in the final 2013
rule. While the emission limits have been relaxed slightly for PM in
the waste-burning kilns, the assumed controls required to meet the
final standards are still the same as those estimated for the final
2013 rule. That is, waste-burning kilns that would require additional
controls to meet the final 2013 rule's PM and metals emission limits
will still require those control improvements to meet the limits being
finalized in this action. The main
[[Page 40969]]
difference is an increased margin of compliance for these units, as
well as a PM limit that is very consistent with the non-waste burning
(Portland Cement NESHAP) PM emission limits, thereby streamlining
compliance. For the coal-fired ERU subcategory, certain emission limits
are relaxed while others have been made more stringent. The net result
in emissions reductions are negligible, however, and there are no
changes in the control cost estimates for units in this subcategory. As
with the waste-burning kilns, the main difference for the coal ERUs is
that there is a somewhat greater margin of compliance available in the
standards being finalized, and thus, ensuring that the best performing
units may be able to demonstrate sustained compliance with the MACT
standards in multiple modes of operation (waste and non-waste modes).
Taken together, the revised emission limits being finalized in this
action could result in allowable emission estimates, primarily in PM,
that are greater than those assumed for the 2013 final rule by about
297 tpy. In other words, there could potentially be 297 fewer tpy of PM
emission reductions as a result of this final rule when compared to the
2013 final rule's estimated emission reductions. We have estimated
these emission impacts in the memorandum ``Revised Emission Limits and
Impacts Analyses for Waste-burning Kilns and Coal ERUs'' available in
the docket. We have not revised the regulatory impacts assessment
prepared for the 2013 final rule since the expected emissions control
costs are unchanged and the change in estimated emission reductions are
relatively minor when compared to the 34,771 tpy overall emission
reductions estimated for the February 7, 2013, final rule (See 78 FR
9132).
VII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Additional information about these statues and Executive Orders can
be found at http://www2.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review
This action is not a significant regulatory action and was,
therefore, not submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for review.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
This action does not impose any new information collection burden
under the PRA. OMB has previously approved the information collection
activities contained in the existing regulations (40 CFR part 60,
subpart CCCC and 40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD) and has assigned OMB
control number 2060-0664 for subpart CCCC and OMB control number 2060-
0662 for subpart DDDD. This action is believed to result in no changes
to the information collection requirements of the February 2013 final
CISWI rule, so that the information collection estimate of project cost
and hour burden from the final CISWI rule have not been revised.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
I certify that this action will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. In
making this determination, the impact of concern is any significant
adverse economic impact on small entities. An agency may certify that a
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities if the rule relieves regulatory burden, has no
net burden, or otherwise has a positive economic effect on the small
entities subject to the rule. This final rule will not impose any new
requirements on any entities because it does not impose any additional
regulatory requirements relative to those specified in the February
2013 final CISWI rule. The February 2013 final CISWI rule was certified
as not having a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. We have therefore concluded that this action will have
no net regulatory burden for all directly regulated small entities.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)
This action does not contain an unfunded mandate of $100 million or
more as described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not
significantly affect small governments. The action imposes no
enforceable duty on any state, local, or tribal governments or the
private sector.
E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have
substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship between
the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments
This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in
Executive Order 13175. The EPA is not aware of any CISWI in Indian
country or owned or operated by Indian tribal governments. The CISWI
aspects of this rule may, however, invoke minor indirect tribal
implications to the extent that entities generating solid wastes on
tribal lands could be affected. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not
apply to this action.
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks
The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying to those
regulatory actions that concern environmental health or safety risks
that the EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect
children, per the definition of ``covered regulatory action'' in
section 2-202 of the Executive Order. This action is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 because it does not concern an environmental
health risk or safety risk.
H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 because it is
not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.
I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) and 1 CFR
Part 51
This action does not involve technical standards.
This action is not finalizing any new incorporation by reference
material, so therefore this action is not making any amendments to the
incorporations by reference found in 40 CFR 60.17. The incorporation by
reference of this document was already approved by the Director of the
Federal Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51
for Sec. 60.14, effective February 7, 2013. The EPA has made, and will
continue to make, these documents generally available electronically
through www.regulations.gov and/or in hard copy at the appropriate EPA
office (see the ADDRESSES section of this preamble for more
information).
[[Page 40970]]
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations
The EPA believes the human health or environmental risk addressed
by this action will not have potential disproportionately high and
adverse human health or environmental effects on minority, low-income,
or indigenous populations. It does not affect the level of protection
provided to human health or the environment. The final CISWI rule will
reduce emissions of all the listed toxics emitted from this source,
thereby helping to further ensure against any disproportionately high
and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority, low-
income, or indigenous populations.
K. Congressional Review Act (CRA)
This action is subject to the CRA, and the EPA will submit a rule
report to House of Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).

responsibilities for operation of the CISWI unit, whichever date is
later; and
(2) Subsequent annual reviews of the information listed in
paragraph (a) of this section must be conducted not later than 12
months following the previous review.
(c) You must also maintain the information specified in paragraphs
(c)(1) through (3) of this section:
[[Page 40974]]
(1) Records showing the names of CISWI unit operators who have
completed review of the information in Sec. 60.2095(a) as required by
Sec. 60.2095(b), including the date of the initial review and all
subsequent annual reviews;
(2) Records showing the names of the CISWI operators who have
completed the operator training requirements under Sec. 60.2070, met
the criteria for qualification under Sec. 60.2080, and maintained or
renewed their qualification under Sec. 60.2085 or Sec. 60.2090.
Records must include documentation of training, the dates of the
initial and refresher training, and the dates of their qualification
and all subsequent renewals of such qualifications; and
(3) For each qualified operator, the phone and/or pager number at
which they can be reached during operating hours.
Sec. 60.2100 What if all the qualified operators are temporarily not
accessible?
If all qualified operators are temporarily not accessible (i.e.,
not at the facility and not able to be at the facility within 1 hour),
you must meet one of the two criteria specified in paragraphs (a) and
(b) of this section, depending on the length of time that a qualified
operator is not accessible:
(a) When all qualified operators are not accessible for more than 8
hours, but less than 2 weeks, the CISWI unit may be operated by other
plant personnel familiar with the operation of the CISWI unit who have
completed a review of the information specified in Sec. 60.2095(a)
within the past 12 months. However, you must record the period when all
qualified operators were not accessible and include this deviation in
the annual report as specified under Sec. 60.2210; and
(b) When all qualified operators are not accessible for 2 weeks or
more, you must take the two actions that are described in paragraphs
(b)(1) and (2) of this section:
(1) Notify the Administrator of this deviation in writing within 10
days. In the notice, state what caused this deviation, what you are
doing to ensure that a qualified operator is accessible, and when you
anticipate that a qualified operator will be accessible; and
(2) Submit a status report to the Administrator every 4 weeks
outlining what you are doing to ensure that a qualified operator is
accessible, stating when you anticipate that a qualified operator will
be accessible and requesting approval from the Administrator to
continue operation of the CISWI unit. You must submit the first status
report 4 weeks after you notify the Administrator of the deviation
under paragraph (b)(1) of this section. If the Administrator notifies
you that your request to continue operation of the CISWI unit is
disapproved, the CISWI unit may continue operation for 90 days, then
must cease operation. Operation of the unit may resume if you meet the
two requirements in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) and (ii) of this section:
(i) A qualified operator is accessible as required under Sec.
60.2070(a); and
(ii) You notify the Administrator that a qualified operator is
accessible and that you are resuming operation.
Emission Limitations and Operating Limits
Sec. 60.2105 What emission limitations must I meet and by when?
(a) You must meet the emission limitations for each CISWI unit,
including bypass stack or vent, specified in table 1 of this subpart or
tables 5 through 8 of this subpart by the applicable date in Sec.
60.2140. You must be in compliance with the emission limitations of
this subpart that apply to you at all times.
(b) An incinerator or air curtain incinerator that commenced
construction after November 30, 1999, but no later than June 4, 2010,
or that commenced reconstruction or modification on or after June 1,
2001 but no later than August 7, 2013, must continue to meet the
emission limits in table 1 of this subpart for units in the incinerator
subcategory and Sec. 60.2250 for air curtain incinerators until the
units become subject to the requirements of an approved state plan or
federal plan that implements subpart DDDD of this part (Emission
Guidelines and Compliance Times for Commercial and Industrial Solid
Waste Incineration Units).
Sec. 60.2110 What operating limits must I meet and by when?
(a) If you use a wet scrubber(s) to comply with the emission
limitations, you must establish operating limits for up to four
operating parameters (as specified in table 2 of this subpart) as
described in paragraphs (a)(1) through (4) of this section during the
initial performance test:
(1) Maximum charge rate, calculated using one of the two different
procedures in paragraph (a)(1)(i) or (ii) of this section, as
appropriate:
(i) For continuous and intermittent units, maximum charge rate is
110 percent of the average charge rate measured during the most recent
performance test demonstrating compliance with all applicable emission
limitations; and
(ii) For batch units, maximum charge rate is 110 percent of the
daily charge rate measured during the most recent performance test
demonstrating compliance with all applicable emission limitations.
(2) Minimum pressure drop across the wet particulate matter
scrubber, which is calculated as the lowest 1-hour average pressure
drop across the wet scrubber measured during the most recent
performance test demonstrating compliance with the particulate matter
emission limitations; or minimum amperage to the wet scrubber, which is
calculated as the lowest 1-hour average amperage to the wet scrubber
measured during the most recent performance test demonstrating
compliance with the particulate matter emission limitations;
(3) Minimum scrubber liquid flow rate, which is calculated as the
lowest 1-hour average liquid flow rate at the inlet to the wet acid gas
or particulate matter scrubber measured during the most recent
performance test demonstrating compliance with all applicable emission
limitations; and
(4) Minimum scrubber liquor pH, which is calculated as the lowest
1-hour average liquor pH at the inlet to the wet acid gas scrubber
measured during the most recent performance test demonstrating
compliance with the HCl emission limitation.
(b) You must meet the operating limits established during the
initial performance test 60 days after your CISWI unit reaches the
charge rate at which it will operate, but no later than 180 days after
its initial startup.
(c) If you use a fabric filter to comply with the emission
limitations and you do not use a PM CPMS for monitoring PM compliance,
you must operate each fabric filter system such that the bag leak
detection system alarm does not sound more than 5 percent of the
operating time during a 6-month period. In calculating this operating
time percentage, if inspection of the fabric filter demonstrates that
no corrective action is required, no alarm time is counted. If
corrective action is required, each alarm shall be counted as a minimum
of 1 hour. If you take longer than 1 hour to initiate corrective
action, the alarm time shall be counted as the actual amount of time
taken by you to initiate corrective action.
(d) If you use an electrostatic precipitator to comply with the
emission limitations and you do not use a PM CPMS for monitoring PM
compliance, you must measure the (secondary) voltage and amperage of
the electrostatic precipitator collection plates during the particulate
matter performance test. Calculate the average
[[Page 40975]]
electric power value (secondary voltage x secondary current = secondary
electric power) for each test run. The operating limit for the
electrostatic precipitator is calculated as the lowest 1-hour average
secondary electric power measured during the most recent performance
test demonstrating compliance with the particulate matter emission
limitations.
(e) If you use activated carbon sorbent injection to comply with
the emission limitations, you must measure the sorbent flow rate during
the performance testing. The operating limit for the carbon sorbent
injection is calculated as the lowest 1-hour average sorbent flow rate
measured during the most recent performance test demonstrating
compliance with the mercury emission limitations. For energy recovery
units, when your unit operates at lower loads, multiply your sorbent
injection rate by the load fraction, as defined in this subpart, to
determine the required injection rate (e.g., for 50 percent load,
multiply the injection rate operating limit by 0.5).
(f) If you use selective noncatalytic reduction to comply with the
emission limitations, you must measure the charge rate, the secondary
chamber temperature (if applicable to your CISWI unit), and the reagent
flow rate during the nitrogen oxides performance testing. The operating
limits for the selective noncatalytic reduction are calculated as the
highest 1-hour average charge rate, lower secondary chamber
temperature, and lowest reagent flow rate measured during the most
recent performance test demonstrating compliance with the nitrogen
oxides emission limitations.
(g) If you use a dry scrubber to comply with the emission
limitations, you must measure the injection rate of each sorbent during
the performance testing. The operating limit for the injection rate of
each sorbent is calculated as the lowest 1-hour average injection rate
or each sorbent measured during the most recent performance test
demonstrating compliance with the hydrogen chloride emission
limitations. For energy recovery units, when your unit operates at
lower loads, multiply your sorbent injection rate by the load fraction,
as defined in this subpart, to determine the required injection rate
(e.g., for 50 percent load, multiply the injection rate operating limit
by 0.5).
(h) If you do not use a wet scrubber, electrostatic precipitator,
or fabric filter to comply with the emission limitations, and if you do
not determine compliance with your particulate matter emission
limitation with either a particulate matter CEMS or a particulate
matter CPMS, you must maintain opacity to less than or equal to 10
percent opacity (1-hour block average).
(i) If you use a PM CPMS to demonstrate compliance, you must
establish your PM CPMS operating limit and determine compliance with it
according to paragraphs (i)(1) through (5) of this section:
(1) Determine your operating limit as the average PM CPMS output
value recorded during the performance test or at a PM CPMS output value
corresponding to 75 percent of the emission limit if your PM
performance test demonstrates compliance below 75 percent of the
emission limit. You must verify an existing or establish a new
operating limit after each repeated performance test. You must repeat
the performance test annually and reassess and adjust the site-specific
operating limit in accordance with the results of the performance test:
(i) Your PM CPMS must provide a 4-20 milliamp output, or digital
equivalent, and the establishment of its relationship to manual
reference method measurements must be determined in units of milliamps;
(ii) Your PM CPMS operating range must be capable of reading PM
concentrations from zero to a level equivalent to at least two times
your allowable emission limit. If your PM CPMS is an auto-ranging
instrument capable of multiple scales, the primary range of the
instrument must be capable of reading PM concentration from zero to a
level equivalent to two times your allowable emission limit; and
(iii) During the initial performance test or any such subsequent
performance test that demonstrates compliance with the PM limit, record
and average all milliamp output values, or their digital equivalent,
from the PM CPMS for the periods corresponding to the compliance test
runs (e.g., average all your PM CPMS output values for three
corresponding 2-hour Method 5I test runs).
(2) If the average of your three PM performance test runs are below
75 percent of your PM emission limit, you must calculate an operating
limit by establishing a relationship of PM CPMS signal to PM
concentration using the PM CPMS instrument zero, the average PM CPMS
output values corresponding to the three compliance test runs, and the
average PM concentration from the Method 5 or performance test with the
procedures in (i)(1) through (5) of this section:
(i) Determine your instrument zero output with one of the following
procedures:
(A) Zero point data for in-situ instruments should be obtained by
removing the instrument from the stack and monitoring ambient air on a
test bench;
(B) Zero point data for extractive instruments should be obtained
by removing the extractive probe from the stack and drawing in clean
ambient air;
(C) The zero point can also can be established obtained by
performing manual reference method measurements when the flue gas is
free of PM emissions or contains very low PM concentrations (e.g., when
your process is not operating, but the fans are operating or your
source is combusting only natural gas) and plotting these with the
compliance data to find the zero intercept; and
(D) If none of the steps in paragraphs (i)(2)(i)(A) through (C) of
this section are possible, you must use a zero output value provided by
the manufacturer.
(ii) Determine your PM CPMS instrument average in milliamps, or the
digital equivalent, and the average of your corresponding three PM
compliance test runs, using equation 1:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.000
Where:
X1 = the PM CPMS output data points for the three runs
constituting the performance test,
Y1 = the PM concentration value for the three runs
constituting the performance test, and
n = the number of data points.
(iii) With your instrument zero expressed in milliamps, or the
digital equivalent, your three run average PM CPMS milliamp value, or
its digital equivalent, and your three run average PM concentration
from your three compliance tests, determine a
[[Page 40976]]
relationship of mg/dscm per milliamp or digital signal equivalent with
equation 2:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.001
Where:
R = the relative mg/dscm per milliamp or digital equivalent for your
PM CPMS,
Y1 = the three run average mg/dscm PM concentration,
X1 = the three run average milliamp or digital signal
output from you PM CPMS, and
z = the milliamp or digital signal equivalent of your instrument
zero determined from paragraph (2)(i) of this section.
(iv) Determine your source specific 30-day rolling average
operating limit using the mg/dscm per milliamp or digital value from
equation 2 in equation 3, below. This sets your operating limit at the
PM CPMS output value corresponding to 75 percent of your emission
limit:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.002
Where:
Ol = the operating limit for your PM CPMS on a 30-day
rolling average, in milliamps or their digital signal equivalent,
L = your source emission limit expressed in mg/dscm,
z = your instrument zero in milliamps or the digital equivalent,
determined from paragraph (2)(i) of this secction, and
R = the relative mg/dscm per milliamp or digital signal output
equivalent for your PM CPMS, from equation 2.
(3) If the average of your three PM compliance test runs is at or
above 75 percent of your PM emission limit you must determine your
operating limit by averaging the PM CPMS milliamp or digital signal
output corresponding to your three PM performance test runs that
demonstrate compliance with the emission limit using equation 4 and you
must submit all compliance test and PM CPMS data according to the
reporting requirements in paragraph (i)(5) of this section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.003
Where:
X1 = the PM CPMS data points for all runs i,
n = the number of data points, and
Oh = your site specific operating limit, in milliamps or
digital signal equivalent.
(4) To determine continuous compliance, you must record the PM CPMS
output data for all periods when the process is operating and the PM
CPMS is not out-of-control. You must demonstrate continuous compliance
by using all quality-assured hourly average data collected by the PM
CPMS for all operating hours to calculate the arithmetic average
operating parameter in units of the operating limit (e.g., milliamps or
digital signal bits, PM concentration, raw data signal) on a 30-day
rolling average basis.
(5) For PM performance test reports used to set a PM CPMS operating
limit, the electronic submission of the test report must also include
the make and model of the PM CPMS instrument, serial number of the
instrument, analytical principle of the instrument (e.g., beta
attenuation), span of the instruments primary analytical range,
milliamp or digital signal value equivalent to the instrument zero
output, technique by which this zero value was determined, and the
average milliamp or digital signals corresponding to each PM compliance
test run.
Sec. 60.2115 What if I do not use a wet scrubber, fabric filter,
activated carbon injection, selective noncatalytic reduction, an
electrostatic precipitator, or a dry scrubber to comply with the
emission limitations?
If you use an air pollution control device other than a wet
scrubber, activated carbon injection, selective noncatalytic reduction,
fabric filter, an electrostatic precipitator, or a dry scrubber or
limit emissions in some other manner, including material balances, to
comply with the emission limitations under Sec. 60.2105, you must
petition the EPA Administrator for specific operating limits to be
established during the initial performance test and continuously
monitored thereafter. You must submit the petition at least sixty days
before the performance test is scheduled to begin. Your petition must
include the five items listed in paragraphs (a) through (e) of this
section:
(a) Identification of the specific parameters you propose to use as
additional operating limits;
(b) A discussion of the relationship between these parameters and
emissions of regulated pollutants, identifying how emissions of
regulated pollutants change with changes in these parameters and how
limits on these parameters will serve to limit emissions of regulated
pollutants;
(c) A discussion of how you will establish the upper and/or lower
values for these parameters which will establish the operating limits
on these parameters;
(d) A discussion identifying the methods you will use to measure
and the instruments you will use to monitor these parameters, as well
as the relative accuracy and precision of these methods and
instruments; and
(e) A discussion identifying the frequency and methods for
recalibrating the instruments you will use for monitoring these
parameters.
Performance Testing
Sec. 60.2125 How do I conduct the initial and annual performance
test?
(a) All performance tests must consist of a minimum of three test
runs conducted under conditions representative of normal operations.
(b) You must document that the waste burned during the performance
test is representative of the waste burned under normal operating
conditions by
[[Page 40977]]
maintaining a log of the quantity of waste burned (as required in Sec.
60.2175(b)(1)) and the types of waste burned during the performance

Method 3A or 3B of appendix A of this part must be used simultaneously
with each method.
(f) All pollutant concentrations, except for opacity, must be
adjusted to 7 percent oxygen using equation 5 of this section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.004
Where:
Cadj = pollutant concentration adjusted to 7 percent
oxygen;
Cmeas = pollutant concentration measured on a dry basis;
(20.9-7) = 20.9 percent oxygen-7 percent oxygen (defined oxygen
correction basis);
20.9 = oxygen concentration in air, percent; and
%O2 = oxygen concentration measured on a dry basis,
percent.
(g) You must determine dioxins/furans toxic equivalency by
following the procedures in paragraphs (g)(1) through (4) of this
section:
(1) Measure the concentration of each dioxin/furan tetra-through
octa-chlorinated isomer emitted using EPA Method 23 at 40 CFR part 60,
appendix A-7;
(2) Quantify isomers meeting identification criteria 2, 3, 4, and 5
in Section 5.3.2.5 of Method 23, regardless of whether the isomers meet
identification criteria 1 and 7. You must quantify the isomers per
Section 9.0 of Method 23. (Note: You may reanalyze the sample aliquot
or split to reduce the number of isomers not meeting identification
criteria 1 or 7 of Section 5.3.2.5.);
(3) For each dioxin/furan (tetra-through octa-chlorinated) isomer
measured in accordance with paragraphs (g)(1) and (2) of this section,
multiply the isomer concentration by its corresponding toxic
equivalency factor specified in table 3 of this subpart; and
(4) Sum the products calculated in accordance with paragraph (g)(3)
of this section to obtain the total concentration of dioxins/furans
emitted in terms of toxic equivalency.

determine compliance with the opacity limit using Method 9 at 40 CFR
part 60, appendix A-4, based on three 1-hour blocks consisting of ten
6-minute average opacity values, unless you are required to install a
continuous opacity monitoring system, consistent with Sec. Sec.
60.2145 and 60.2165.
(j) You must determine dioxins/furans total mass basis by following
the procedures in paragraphs (j)(1) through (3) of this section:

Sec. 60.2130 How are the performance test data used?
You use results of performance tests to demonstrate compliance with
the emission limitations in table 1 of this subpart or tables 5 through
8 of this subpart.
Initial Compliance Requirements
Sec. 60.2135 How do I demonstrate initial compliance with the
emission limitations and establish the operating limits?
You must conduct a performance test, as required under Sec. Sec.
60.2125 and 60.2105 to determine compliance with the emission
limitations in table 1 of this subpart or tables 5 through 8 of this
subpart, to establish compliance with any opacity operating limit in
Sec. 60.2110, to establish the kiln-specific emission limit in Sec.
60.2145(y), as applicable, and to establish operating limits using the
procedures in Sec. Sec. 60.2110 or 60.2115. The performance test must
be conducted using the test methods listed in table 1 of this subpart
or tables 5 through 8 of this subpart and the procedures in Sec.
60.2125. The use of the bypass stack during a performance test shall
invalidate the performance test. You must conduct a performance
evaluation of each continuous monitoring system within 60 days of
installation of the monitoring system.
Sec. 60.2140 By what date must I conduct the initial performance
test?
(a) The initial performance test must be conducted within 60 days
after your CISWI unit reaches the charge rate at which it will operate,
but no later than 180 days after its initial startup.
(b) If you commence or recommence combusting a solid waste at an
existing combustion unit at any commercial or industrial facility, and
you conducted a test consistent with the provisions of this subpart
while combusting the solid waste within the 6 months preceding the
reintroduction of that solid waste in the combustion chamber, you do
not need to retest until 6 months from the date you reintroduce that
solid waste.
(c) If you commence or recommence combusting a solid waste at an
existing combustion unit at any commercial or industrial facility and
you have not conducted a performance test consistent with the
provisions of this subpart while combusting the solid waste within the
6 months preceding the reintroduction of that solid waste in the
combustion chamber, you must conduct a performance test within 60 days
from the date you reintroduce that solid waste.
Sec. 60.2141 By what date must I conduct the initial air pollution
control device inspection?
(a) The initial air pollution control device inspection must be
conducted within 60 days after installation of the control device and
the associated CISWI unit reaches the charge rate at which it will
operate, but no later than 180 days after the device's initial startup.
(b) Within 10 operating days following an air pollution control
device inspection, all necessary repairs must be completed unless the
owner or operator obtains written approval from the state agency
establishing a date whereby all
[[Page 40978]]
necessary repairs of the designated facility must be completed.
Continuous Compliance Requirements
Sec. 60.2145 How do I demonstrate continuous compliance with the
emission limitations and the operating limits?
(a) Compliance with standards. (1) The emission standards and
operating requirements set forth in this subpart apply at all times;
(2) If you cease combusting solid waste, you may opt to remain
subject to the provisions of this subpart. Consistent with the
definition of CISWI unit, you are subject to the requirements of this
subpart at least 6 months following the last date of solid waste
combustion. Solid waste combustion is ceased when solid waste is not in
the combustion chamber (i.e., the solid waste feed to the combustor has
been cut off for a period of time not less than the solid waste
residence time);
(3) If you cease combusting solid waste, you must be in compliance
with any newly applicable standards on the effective date of the waste-
to-fuel switch. The effective date of the waste-to-fuel switch is a
date selected by you, that must be at least 6 months from the date that
you ceased combusting solid waste, consistent with Sec. 60.2145(a)(2).
Your source must remain in compliance with this subpart until the
effective date of the waste-to-fuel switch;
(4) If you own or operate an existing commercial or industrial
combustion unit that combusted a fuel or non-waste material, and you
commence or recommence combustion of solid waste, you are subject to
the provisions of this subpart as of the first day you introduce or
reintroduce solid waste to the combustion chamber, and this date
constitutes the effective date of the fuel-to-waste switch. You must
complete all initial compliance demonstrations for any section 112
standards that are applicable to your facility before you commence or
recommence combustion of solid waste. You must provide 30 days prior
notice of the effective date of the waste-to-fuel switch. The
notification must identify:
(i) The name of the owner or operator of the CISWI unit, the
location of the source, the emissions unit(s) that will cease burning
solid waste, and the date of the notice;
(ii) The currently applicable subcategory under this subpart, and
any 40 CFR part 63 subpart and subcategory that will be applicable
after you cease combusting solid waste;
(iii) The fuel(s), non-waste material(s) and solid waste(s) the
CISWI unit is currently combusting and has combusted over the past 6
months, and the fuel(s) or non-waste materials the unit will commence
combusting;
(iv) The date on which you became subject to the currently
applicable emission limits; and
(v) The date upon which you will cease combusting solid waste, and
the date (if different) that you intend for any new requirements to
become applicable (i.e., the effective date of the waste-to-fuel
switch), consistent with paragraphs (a)(2) and (3) of this section.
(5) All air pollution control equipment necessary for compliance
with any newly applicable emissions limits which apply as a result of
the cessation or commencement or recommencement of combusting solid
waste must be installed and operational as of the effective date of the
waste-to-fuel, or fuel-to-waste switch.
(6) All monitoring systems necessary for compliance with any newly
applicable monitoring requirements which apply as a result of the
cessation or commencement or recommencement of combusting solid waste
must be installed and operational as of the effective date of the
waste-to-fuel, or fuel-to-waste switch. All calibration and drift
checks must be performed as of the effective date of the waste-to-fuel,
or fuel-to-waste switch. Relative accuracy tests must be performed as
of the performance test deadline for PM CEMS (if PM CEMS are elected to
demonstrate continuous compliance with the particulate matter emission
limits). Relative accuracy testing for other CEMS need not be repeated
if that testing was previously performed consistent with Clean Air Act
section 112 monitoring requirements or monitoring requirements under
this subpart.
(b) You must conduct an annual performance test for the pollutants
listed in table 1 of this subpart or tables 5 through 8 of this subpart
and opacity for each CISWI unit as required under Sec. 60.2125. The
annual performance test must be conducted using the test methods listed
in table 1 of this subpart or tables 5 through 8 of this subpart and
the procedures in Sec. 60.2125. Annual performance tests are not
required if you use CEMS or continuous opacity monitoring systems to
determine compliance.
(c) You must continuously monitor the operating parameters
specified in Sec. 60.2110 or established under Sec. 60.2115 and as
specified in Sec. 60.2170. Use 3-hour block average values to
determine compliance (except for baghouse leak detection system alarms)
unless a different averaging period is established under Sec. 60.2115
or, for energy recovery units, where the averaging time for each
operating parameter is a 30-day rolling, calculated each hour as the
average of the previous 720 operating hours. Operation above the
established maximum, below the established minimum, or outside the
allowable range of operating limits specified in paragraph (a) of this
section constitutes a deviation from your operating limits established
under this subpart, except during performance tests conducted to
determine compliance with the emission and operating limits or to
establish new operating limits. Operating limits are confirmed or
reestablished during performance tests.
(d) You must burn only the same types of waste and fuels used to
establish subcategory applicability (for energy recovery units) and
operating limits during the performance test.
(e) For energy recovery units, incinerators, and small remote
units, you must perform an annual visual emissions test for ash
handling.
(f) For energy recovery units, you must conduct an annual
performance test for opacity (except where particulate matter CEMS or
continuous opacity monitoring systems are used are used) and the
pollutants listed in table 6 of this subpart.
(g) You may elect to demonstrate continuous compliance with the
carbon monoxide emission limit using a carbon monoxide CEMS according
to the following requirements:
(1) You must measure emissions according to Sec. 60.13 to
calculate 1-hour arithmetic averages, corrected to 7 percent oxygen.
CEMS data during startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart, are
not corrected to 7 percent oxygen, and are measured at stack oxygen
content. You must demonstrate initial compliance with the carbon
monoxide emissions limit using a 30-day rolling average of these 1-hour
arithmetic average emission concentrations, including CEMS data during
startup and shutdown as defined in this subpart, calculated using
equation 19-19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA Reference Method 19 at 40 CFR
part 60, appendix A-7 of this part; and
(2) Operate the carbon monoxide CEMS in accordance with the
requirements of performance specification 4A of appendix B of this part
and quality assurance procedure 1 of appendix F of this part.
(h) Coal and liquid/gas energy recovery units with average annual
heat input rates greater than or equal to 250 MMBtu/hr may elect to
demonstrate continuous compliance with the particulate matter emissions
limit using a particulate matter CEMS according to the procedures in
Sec. 60.2165(n) instead
[[Page 40979]]
of the particulate matter continuous parameter monitoring system (CPMS)
specified in Sec. 60.2145. Coal and liquid/gas energy recovery units
with annual average heat input rates less than 250 MMBtu/hr,
incinerators, and small remote incinerators may also elect to
demonstrate compliance using a particulate matter CEMS according to the
procedures in Sec. 60.2165(n) instead of particulate matter testing
with EPA Method 5 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-3 and, if applicable,
the continuous opacity monitoring requirements in paragraph (i) of this
section.
(i) For energy recovery units with annual average heat input rates
greater than or equal to 10 MMBtu/hour and less than 250 MMBtu/hr, you
must install, operate, certify and maintain a continuous opacity
monitoring system (COMS) according to the procedures in Sec. 60.2165.
(j) For waste-burning kilns, you must conduct an annual performance
test for cadmium, lead, dioxins/furans and hydrogen chloride as listed
in table 7 of this subpart. If you do not use an acid gas wet scrubber
or dry scrubber, you must determine compliance with the hydrogen
chloride emissions limit according to the requirements in paragraph
(j)(1) of this section. You must determine compliance with the mercury
emissions limit using a mercury CEMS according to paragraph (j)(2) of
this section. You must determine compliance with nitrogen oxides,
sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide using CEMS. You must determine
compliance with particulate matter using CPMS:
(1) If you monitor compliance with the HCl emissions limit by
operating an HCl CEMS, you must do so in accordance with Performance
Specification 15 (PS 15) of appendix B to 40 CFR part 60, or, PS 18 of
appendix B to 40 CFR part 60. You must operate, maintain, and quality
assure a HCl CEMS installed and certified under PS 15 according to the
quality assurance requirements in Procedure 1 of appendix F to 40 CFR
part 60 except that the Relative Accuracy Test Audit requirements of
Procedure 1 must be replaced with the validation requirements and
criteria of sections 11.1.1 and 12.0 of PS 15. You must operate,
maintain and quality assure a HCl CEMS installed and certified under PS
18 according to the quality assurance requirements in Procedure 6 of
appendix F to 40 CFR part 60. For any performance specification that
you use, you must use Method 321 of appendix A to 40 CFR part 63 as the
reference test method for conducting relative accuracy testing. The
span value and calibration requirements in paragraphs (j)(1)(i) and
(ii) of this section apply to all HCl CEMS used under this subpart:
(i) You must use a measurement span value for any HCl CEMS of 0-10
ppmvw unless the monitor is installed on a kiln without an inline raw
mill. Kilns without an inline raw mill may use a higher span value
sufficient to quantify all expected emissions concentrations. The HCl
CEMS data recorder output range must include the full range of expected
HCl concentration values which would include those expected during
``mill off'' conditions. The corresponding data recorder range shall be
documented in the site-specific monitoring plan and associated records;
(ii) In order to quality assure data measured above the span value,
you must use one of the three options in paragraphs (j)(1)(ii)(A)
through (C) of this section:
(A) Include a second span that encompasses the HCl emission
concentrations expected to be encountered during ``mill off''
conditions. This second span may be rounded to a multiple of 5 ppm of
total HCl. The requirements of the appropriate HCl monitor performance
specification shall be followed for this second span with the exception
that a RATA with the mill off is not required;
(B) Quality assure any data above the span value by proving
instrument linearity beyond the span value established in paragraph
(j)(1)(i) of this section using the following procedure. Conduct a
weekly ``above span linearity'' calibration challenge of the monitoring
system using a reference gas with a certified value greater than your
highest expected hourly concentration or greater than 75% of the
highest measured hourly concentration. The ``above span'' reference gas
must meet the requirements of the applicable performance specification
and must be introduced to the measurement system at the probe. Record
and report the results of this procedure as you would for a daily
calibration. The ``above span linearity'' challenge is successful if
the value measured by the HCl CEMS falls within 10 percent of the
certified value of the reference gas. If the value measured by the HCl
CEMS during the above span linearity challenge exceeds 10 percent of
the certified value of the reference gas, the monitoring system must be
evaluated and repaired and a new ``above span linearity'' challenge met
before returning the HCl CEMS to service, or data above span from the
HCl CEMS must be subject to the quality assurance procedures
established in (j)(1)(ii)(D) of this section. In this manner values
measured by the HCl CEMS during the above span linearity challenge
exceeding +/-20 percent of the certified value of the reference gas
must be normalized using equation 6;
(C) Quality assure any data above the span value established in
paragraph (j)(1)(i) of this section using the following procedure. Any
time two consecutive one-hour average measured concentration of HCl
exceeds the span value you must, within 24 hours before or after,
introduce a higher, ``above span'' HCl reference gas standard to the
HCl CEMS. The ``above span'' reference gas must meet the requirements
of the applicable performance specification and target a concentration
level between 50 and 150 percent of the highest expected hourly
concentration measured during the period of measurements above span,
and must be introduced at the probe. While this target represents a
desired concentration range that is not always achievable in practice,
it is expected that the intent to meet this range is demonstrated by
the value of the reference gas. Expected values may include above span
calibrations done before or after the above-span measurement period.
Record and report the results of this procedure as you would for a
daily calibration. The ``above span'' calibration is successful if the
value measured by the HCl CEMS is within 20 percent of the certified
value of the reference gas. If the value measured by the HCl CEMS is
not within 20 percent of the certified value of the reference gas, then
you must normalize the stack gas values measured above span as
described in paragraph (j)(1)(ii)(D) of this section. If the ``above
span'' calibration is conducted during the period when measured
emissions are above span and there is a failure to collect the one data
point in an hour due to the calibration duration, then you must
determine the emissions average for that missed hour as the average of
hourly averages for the hour preceding the missed hour and the hour
following the missed hour. In an hour where an ``above span''
calibration is being conducted and one or more data points are
collected, the emissions average is represented by the average of all
valid data points collected in that hour;
(D) In the event that the ``above span'' calibration is not
successful (i.e., the HCl CEMS measured value is not within 20 percent
of the certified value of the reference gas), then you must normalize
the one-hour average stack gas values measured above the span during
the 24-hour period preceding or following the ``above span''
calibration for reporting based on the HCl CEMS response to the
reference gas as shown in equation 6:
[[Page 40980]]
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.005
Only one ``above span'' calibration is needed per 24-hour period.
(2) Compliance with the mercury emissions limit must be determined
using a mercury CEMS according to the following requirements:
(i) You must operate a CEMS system in accordance with performance
specification 12A of 40 CFR part 60, appendix B or a sorbent trap based
integrated monitor in accordance with performance specification 12B of
40 CFR part 60, appendix B. The duration of the performance test must
be a calendar month. For each calendar month in which the waste-burning
kiln operates, hourly mercury concentration data, and stack gas
volumetric flow rate data must be obtained. You must demonstrate
compliance with the mercury emissions limit using a 30-day rolling
average of these 1-hour mercury concentrations, including CEMS data
during startup and shutdown as defined in this subpart, calculated
using equation 19-19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA Reference Method 19 at 40
CFR part 60, appendix A-7 of this part. CEMS data during startup and
shutdown, as defined in this subpart, are not corrected to 7 percent
oxygen, and are measured at stack oxygen content;
(ii) Owners or operators using a mercury CEMS must install,
operate, calibrate, and maintain an instrument for continuously
measuring and recording the mercury mass emissions rate to the
atmosphere according to the requirements of performance specifications
6 and 12A of 40 CFR part 60, appendix B, and quality assurance
procedure 6 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix F; and
(iii) The owner or operator of a waste-burning kiln must
demonstrate initial compliance by operating a mercury CEMS while the
raw mill of the in-line kiln/raw mill is operating under normal
conditions and including at least one period when the raw mill is off.

(s) For facilities using a CEMS to demonstrate compliance with the
sulfur dioxide emission limit, compliance with the sulfur dioxide
emission limit may be demonstrated by using the CEMS specified in Sec.
60.2165 to measure sulfur dioxide. CEMS data during startup and
shutdown, as defined in this subpart, are not corrected to 7 percent
oxygen, and are measured at stack oxygen content. You must calculate a
30-day rolling average of the 1-hour arithmetic average emission
concentrations, including CEMS data during startup and shutdown as
defined in this subpart, calculated using equation 19-19 in section
12.4.1 of EPA Reference Method 19 at 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A-7 of
this part. The sulfur dioxide CEMS must be operated according to
performance specification 2 in appendix B of this part and must follow
the procedures and methods specified in paragraph (s) of this section.
For sources that have actual inlet emissions less than 100 parts per
million dry volume, the relative accuracy criterion for inlet sulfur
dioxide CEMS should be no greater than 20 percent of the mean value of
the reference method test data in terms of the units of the emission
standard, or 5 parts per million dry volume absolute value of the mean
difference between the reference method and the CEMS, whichever is
greater:
(1) During each relative accuracy test run of the CEMS required by
performance specification 2 in appendix B of this part, collect sulfur
dioxide and oxygen (or carbon dioxide) data concurrently (or within a
30- to 60-minute period) with both the CEMS and the test methods
specified in paragraphs (s)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section:
(i) For sulfur dioxide, EPA Reference Method 6 or 6C, or as an
alternative ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981 (incorporated by reference, see
Sec. 60.17) must be used; and
(ii) For oxygen (or carbon dioxide), EPA Reference Method 3A or 3B,
or as an alternative ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981 (incorporated by
reference, see Sec. 60.17), must be used.
(2) The span value of the CEMS at the inlet to the sulfur dioxide
control device must be 125 percent of the maximum estimated hourly

within a 30- to 60-minute period) with both the CEMS and the test
methods specified in paragraphs (t)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section:
(i) For nitrogen oxides, EPA Reference Method 7 or 7E at 40 CFR
part 60, appendix A-4 must be used; and
(ii) For oxygen (or carbon dioxide), EPA Reference Method 3A or 3B
at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-3, or as an alternative ANSI/ASME PTC 19-
10.1981 (incorporated by reference, see Sec. 60.17), as applicable,
must be used.
(2) The span value of the continuous emission monitoring system
must be 125 percent of the maximum estimated hourly potential nitrogen
oxide emissions of the unit.
(3) Conduct accuracy determinations quarterly and calibration drift
tests daily in accordance with procedure 1 in appendix F of this part.
(4) The owner or operator of an affected facility may request that
[[Page 40982]]
compliance with the nitrogen oxides emission limit be determined using
carbon dioxide measurements corrected to an equivalent of 7 percent
oxygen. If carbon dioxide is selected for use in diluent corrections,
the relationship between oxygen and carbon dioxide levels must be
established during the initial performance test according to the
procedures and methods specified in paragraphs (t)(4)(i) through (iv)
of this section. This relationship may be re-established during
performance compliance tests:
(i) The fuel factor equation in Method 3B must be used to determine
the relationship between oxygen and carbon dioxide at a sampling
location. Method 3A or 3B, or as an alternative ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-
1981 (incorporated by reference, see Sec. 60.17), as applicable, must
be used to determine the oxygen concentration at the same location as
the carbon dioxide monitor;
(ii) Samples must be taken for at least 30 minutes in each hour;
(iii) Each sample must represent a 1-hour average; and
(iv) A minimum of three runs must be performed.
(u) For facilities using a CEMS to demonstrate continuous
compliance with any of the emission limits of this subpart, you must
complete the following:
(1) Demonstrate compliance with the appropriate emission limit(s)
using a 30-day rolling average of 1-hour arithmetic average emission
concentrations, including CEMS data during startup and shutdown as
defined in this subpart, calculated using equation 19-19 in section
12.4.1 of EPA Reference Method 19 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7 of
this part. CEMS data during startup and shutdown, as defined in the
subpart, are not corrected to 7 percent oxygen, and are measured at
stack oxygen content; and
(2) Operate all CEMS in accordance with the applicable procedures
under appendices B and F of this part.
(v) Use of the bypass stack at any time is an emissions standards
deviation for particulate matter, HCl, Pb, Cd, Hg, NOX,
SO2, and dioxin/furans.
(w) For energy recovery units with a design heat input capacity of
100 MMBtu per hour or greater that do not use a carbon monoxide CEMS,
you must install, operate, and maintain a oxygen analyzer system as
defined in Sec. 60.2265 according to the procedures in paragraphs
(w)(1) through (4) of this section:
(1) The oxygen analyzer system must be installed by the initial
performance test date specified in Sec. 60.2140;
(2) You must operate the oxygen trim system within compliance with
paragraph (w)(3) of this section at all times;
(3) You must maintain the oxygen level such that the 30-day rolling
average that is established as the operating limit for oxygen is not
below the lowest hourly average oxygen concentration measured during
the most recent CO performance test; and
(4) You must calculate and record a 30-day rolling average oxygen
concentration using equation 19-19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA Reference
Method 19 of Appendix A-7 of this part.
(x) For energy recovery units with annual average heat input rates
greater than or equal to 250 MMBtu/hour and waste-burning kilns, you
must install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a PM CPMS and record the
output of the system as specified in paragraphs (x)(1) through (8) of
this section. For other energy recovery units, you may elect to use PM
CPMS operated in accordance with this section. PM CPMS are suitable in
lieu of using other CMS for monitoring PM compliance (e.g., bag leak
detectors, ESP secondary power, PM scrubber pressure):
(1) Install, calibrate, operate, and maintain your PM CPMS
according to the procedures in your approved site-specific monitoring
plan developed in accordance with paragraphs (l) and (x)(1)(i) through
(iii) of this section:
(i) The operating principle of the PM CPMS must be based on in-
stack or extractive light scatter, light scintillation, beta
attenuation, or mass accumulation detection of the exhaust gas or
representative sample. The reportable measurement output from the PM
CPMS must be expressed as milliamps or the digital signal equivalent;
(ii) The PM CPMS must have a cycle time (i.e., period required to
complete sampling, measurement, and reporting for each measurement) no
longer than 60 minutes; and
(iii) The PM CPMS must be capable of detecting and responding to
particulate matter concentrations increments no greater than 0.5 mg/
actual cubic meter.
(2) During the initial performance test or any such subsequent
performance test that demonstrates compliance with the PM limit, you
must adjust the site-specific operating limit in accordance with the
results of the performance test according to the procedures specified
in Sec. 60.2110.
(3) Collect PM CPMS hourly average output data for all energy
recovery unit or waste-burning kiln operating hours. Express the PM
CPMS output as milliamps.
(4) Calculate the arithmetic 30-day rolling average of all of the
hourly average PM CPMS output collected during all energy recovery unit
or waste-burning kiln operating hours data (milliamps or their digital
equivalent).
(5) You must collect data using the PM CPMS at all times the energy
recovery unit or waste-burning kiln is operating and at the intervals
specified in paragraph (x)(1)(ii) of this section, except for periods
of monitoring system malfunctions, repairs associated with monitoring
system malfunctions, required monitoring system quality assurance or
quality control activities (including, as applicable, calibration
checks and required zero and span adjustments), and any scheduled
maintenance as defined in your site-specific monitoring plan.
(6) You must use all the data collected during all energy recovery
unit or waste-burning kiln operating hours in assessing the compliance
with your operating limit except:
(i) Any data collected during monitoring system malfunctions,
repairs associated with monitoring system malfunctions, or required
monitoring system quality assurance or quality control activities
conducted during monitoring system malfunctions are not used in
calculations (report any such periods in your annual deviation report);
(ii) Any data collected during periods when the monitoring system
is out of control as specified in your site-specific monitoring plan,
repairs associated with periods when the monitoring system is out of
control, or required monitoring system quality assurance or quality
control activities conducted during out-of-control periods are not used
in calculations (report emissions or operating levels and report any
such periods in your annual deviation report);
(iii) Any PM CPMS data recorded during periods of CEMS data during
startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart.
(7) You must record and make available upon request results of PM
CPMS system performance audits, as well as the dates and duration of
periods from when the PM CPMS is out of control until completion of the
corrective actions necessary to return the PM CPMS to operation
consistent with your site-specific monitoring plan.
(8) For any deviation of the 30-day rolling average PM CPMS average
value from the established operating parameter limit, you must:
(i) Within 48 hours of the deviation, visually inspect the air
pollution control device;
[[Page 40983]]
(ii) If inspection of the air pollution control device identifies
the cause of the deviation, take corrective action as soon as possible
and return the PM CPMS measurement to within the established value;
(iii) Within 30 days of the deviation or at the time of the annual
compliance test, whichever comes first, conduct a PM emissions
compliance test to determine compliance with the PM emissions limit and
to verify. Within 45 days of the deviation, you must re-establish the
CPMS operating limit. You are not required to conduct additional
testing for any deviations that occur between the time of the original
deviation and the PM emissions compliance test required under paragraph
(x) of this section; and
(iv) PM CPMS deviations leading to more than four required
performance tests in a 12-month process operating period (rolling
monthly) constitute a violation of this subpart.
(y) When there is an alkali bypass and/or an in-line coal mill that
exhaust emissions through a separate stack(s), the combined emissions
are subject to the emission limits applicable to waste-burning kilns.
To determine the kiln-specific emission limit for demonstrating
compliance, you must:
(1) Calculate a kiln-specific emission limit using equation 7:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.006
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.007
Where:Cks = Kiln stack concentration (ppmvd, mgdscm, ng/
dscm, depending on pollutant. Each corrected to 7% O2.)
Qab = Alkali bypass flow rate (volume/hr)
Cab = Alkali bypass concentration (ppmvd, mg/dscm, ng/
dscm, depending on pollutant. Each corrected to 7% O2.)
Qcm = In-line coal mill flow rate (volume/hr)
Ccm = In-line coal mill concentration (ppmvd, mg/dscm,
ng/dscm, depending on pollutant. Each corrected to 7%
O2.)
Qks = Kiln stack flow rate (volume/hr)
(2) Particulate matter concentration must be measured downstream of
the in-line coal mill. All other pollutant concentrations must be
measured either upstream or downstream of the in-line coal mill; and
(3) For purposes of determining the combined emissions from kilns
equipped with an alkali bypass or that exhaust kiln gases to a coal
mill that exhausts through a separate stack, instead of installing a
CEMS or PM CPMS on the alkali bypass stack or in-line coal mill stack,
the results of the initial and subsequent performance test can be used
to demonstrate compliance with the relevant emissions limit. A
performance test must be conducted on an annual basis (between 11 and
13 calendar months following the previous performance test).
Sec. 60.2150 By what date must I conduct the annual performance test?
You must conduct annual performance tests between 11 and 13 months
of the previous performance test.

applicable, demonstrates that the emission level for the pollutant is
no greater than the emission level specified in paragraph (a)(3)(i) or
(a)(3)(ii) of this section, as
(i) For particulate matter, hydrogen chloride, mercury, nitrogen
oxides, sulfur dioxide, cadmium, lead and dioxins/furans, the emission
level equal to 75 percent of the applicable emission limit in table 1
or tables 5 through 8 of this subpart, as applicable, to this subpart;
and
(ii) For fugitive emissions, visible emissions (of combustion ash
from the ash conveying system) for 2 percent of the time during each of
the three 1-hour observations periods.
(4) If you are conducting less frequent testing for a pollutant as
provided in paragraph (a)(3) of this section and a subsequent
performance test for the pollutant indicates that your CISWI unit does
not meet the emission level specified in paragraph (a)(3)(i) or
(a)(3)(ii) of this section, as applicable, you must conduct annual
performance tests for the pollutant according to the schedule specified
in paragraph (a) of this section until you qualify for less frequent
testing for the pollutant as specified in paragraph (a)(3) of this
section.
(b) [Reserved]
Sec. 60.2160 May I conduct a repeat performance test to establish new
operating limits?
(a) Yes. You may conduct a repeat performance test at any time to
establish new values for the operating limits. The Administrator may

parameters must I monitor?
(a) If you are using a wet scrubber to comply with the emission
limitation under Sec. 60.2105, you must install, calibrate (to
manufacturers' specifications), maintain, and operate devices (or
establish methods) for monitoring the value of the operating parameters
used to determine compliance with the operating limits listed in table
2 of this subpart. These devices (or methods) must measure and record
the values for these operating parameters at the frequencies indicated
in table 2 of this subpart at all times except as specified in Sec.
60.2170(a).
(b) If you use a fabric filter to comply with the requirements of
this subpart and you do not use a PM CPMS for monitoring PM compliance,
you must install, calibrate, maintain, and continuously operate a bag
leak
[[Page 40984]]
detection system as specified in paragraphs (b)(1) through (8) of this
section:
(1) You must install and operate a bag leak detection system for
each exhaust stack of the fabric filter;
(2) Each bag leak detection system must be installed, operated,
calibrated, and maintained in a manner consistent with the
manufacturer's written specifications and recommendations;
(3) The bag leak detection system must be certified by the
manufacturer to be capable of detecting particulate matter emissions at
concentrations of 10 milligrams per actual cubic meter or less;
(4) The bag leak detection system sensor must provide output of
relative or absolute particulate matter loadings;
(5) The bag leak detection system must be equipped with a device to
continuously record the output signal from the sensor;
(6) The bag leak detection system must be equipped with an alarm
system that will alert automatically an operator when an increase in
relative particulate matter emissions over a preset level is detected.
The alarm must be located where it is observed easily by plant
operating personnel;
(7) For positive pressure fabric filter systems, a bag leak
detection system must be installed in each baghouse compartment or
cell. For negative pressure or induced air fabric filters, the bag leak
detector must be installed downstream of the fabric filter; and
(8) Where multiple detectors are required, the system's
instrumentation and alarm may be shared among detectors.
(c) If you are using something other than a wet scrubber, activated
carbon, selective non-catalytic reduction, an electrostatic
precipitator, or a dry scrubber to comply with the emission limitations
under Sec. 60.2105, you must install, calibrate (to the manufacturers'
specifications), maintain, and operate the equipment necessary to
monitor compliance with the site-specific operating limits established
using the procedures in Sec. 60.2115.
(d) If you use activated carbon injection to comply with the
emission limitations in this subpart, you must measure the minimum
mercury sorbent flow rate once per hour.
(e) If you use selective noncatalytic reduction to comply with the
emission limitations, you must complete the following:
(1) Following the date on which the initial performance test is
completed or is required to be completed under Sec. 60.2125, whichever
date comes first, ensure that the affected facility does not operate
above the maximum charge rate, or below the minimum secondary chamber
temperature (if applicable to your CISWI unit) or the minimum reagent
flow rate measured as 3-hour block averages at all times; and
(2) Operation of the affected facility above the maximum charge
rate, below the minimum secondary chamber temperature and below the
minimum reagent flow rate simultaneously constitute a violation of the
nitrogen oxides emissions limit.
(f) If you use an electrostatic precipitator to comply with the
emission limits of this subpart and you do not use a PM CPMS for
monitoring PM compliance, you must monitor the secondary power to the
electrostatic precipitator collection plates and maintain the 3-hour
block averages at or above the operating limits established during the
mercury or particulate matter performance test.
(g) For waste-burning kilns not equipped with a wet scrubber or dry
scrubber, in place of hydrogen chloride testing with EPA Method 321 at
40 CFR part 63, appendix A, an owner or operator must install,
calibrate, maintain, and operate a CEMS for monitoring hydrogen
chloride emissions, as specified in Sec. 60.2145(j) of this subpart,
discharged to the atmosphere and record the output of the system. To
demonstrate continuous compliance with the hydrogen chloride emissions
limit for units other than waste-burning kilns not equipped with a wet
scrubber or dry scrubber, a facility may substitute use of a hydrogen
chloride CEMS for conducting the hydrogen chloride annual performance
test, monitoring the minimum hydrogen chloride sorbent flow rate,
monitoring the minimum scrubber liquor pH, and monitoring minimum
injection rate.
(h) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the particulate
matter emissions limit, a facility may substitute use of either a
particulate matter CEMS or a particulate matter CPMS for conducting the
PM annual performance test and using other CMS for monitoring PM
compliance (e.g., bag leak detectors, ESP secondary power, PM scrubber
pressure).
(i) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the dioxin/furan
emissions limit, a facility may substitute use of a continuous
automated sampling system for the dioxin/furan annual performance test.
You must record the output of the system and analyze the sample
according to EPA Method 23 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7 of this
part. This option to use a continuous automated sampling system takes
effect on the date a final performance specification applicable to
dioxin/furan from continuous monitors is published in the Federal
Register. The owner or operator who elects to continuously sample
dioxin/furan emissions instead of sampling and testing using EPA Method
23 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7 must install, calibrate, maintain,
and operate a continuous automated sampling system and must comply with
the requirements specified in Sec. 60.58b(p) and (q). A facility may
substitute continuous dioxin/furan monitoring for the minimum sorbent
flow rate, if activated carbon sorbent injection is used solely for
compliance with the dioxin/furan emission limit.
(j) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the mercury emissions
limit, a facility may substitute use of a continuous automated sampling
system for the mercury annual performance test. You must record the
output of the system and analyze the sample at set intervals using any
suitable determinative technique that can meet performance
specification 12B. The owner or operator who elects to continuously
sample mercury emissions instead of sampling and testing using EPA
Reference Method 29 or 30B at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-8, ASTM D6784-
02 (Reapproved 2008) (incorporated by reference, see Sec. 60.17), or
an approved alternative method for measuring mercury emissions, must
install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a continuous automated
sampling system and must comply with performance specification 12A and
quality assurance procedure 5, as well as the requirements specified in
Sec. 60.58b(p) and (q). A facility may substitute continuous mercury
monitoring for the minimum sorbent flow rate, if activated carbon
sorbent injection is used solely for compliance with the mercury
emission limit. Waste-burning kilns must install, calibrate, maintain,
and operate a mercury CEMS as specified in Sec. 60.2145(j).
(k) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the nitrogen oxides
emissions limit, a facility may substitute use of a CEMS for the
nitrogen oxides annual performance test to demonstrate compliance with
the nitrogen oxides emissions limits and monitoring the charge rate,
secondary chamber temperature, and reagent flow for selective
noncatalytic reduction, if applicable:
(1) Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a CEMS for measuring
nitrogen oxides emissions discharged to the atmosphere and record the
output of the system. The requirements under performance specification
2 of appendix B of this part, the quality assurance
[[Page 40985]]
procedure one of appendix F of this part and the procedures under Sec.
60.13 must be followed for installation, evaluation, and operation of
the CEMS; and
(2) Following the date that the initial performance test for
nitrogen oxides is completed or is required to be completed under Sec.
60.2125, compliance with the emission limit for nitrogen oxides
required under Sec. 60.52b(d) must be determined based on the 30-day
rolling average of the hourly emission concentrations using CEMS outlet
data. The 1-hour arithmetic averages must be expressed in parts per
million by volume corrected to 7 percent oxygen (dry basis) and used to
calculate the 30-day rolling average concentrations. CEMS data during
startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart, are not corrected to
7 percent oxygen, and are measured at stack oxygen content. The 1-hour
arithmetic averages must be calculated using the data points required
under Sec. 60.13(e)(2).
(l) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the sulfur dioxide
emissions limit, a facility may substitute use of a continuous
automated sampling system for the sulfur dioxide annual performance
test to demonstrate compliance with the sulfur dioxide emissions
limits:
(1) Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a CEMS for measuring
sulfur dioxide emissions discharged to the atmosphere and record the
output of the system. The requirements under performance specification
2 of appendix B of this part, the quality assurance requirements of
procedure one of appendix F of this part and procedures under Sec.
60.13 must be followed for installation, evaluation, and operation of
the CEMS; and
(2) Following the date that the initial performance test for sulfur
dioxide is completed or is required to be completed under Sec.
60.2125, compliance with the sulfur dioxide emission limit may be
determined based on the 30-day rolling average of the hourly arithmetic
average emission concentrations using CEMS outlet data. The 1-hour
arithmetic averages must be expressed in parts per million corrected to
7 percent oxygen (dry basis) and used to calculate the 30-day rolling
average emission concentrations. CEMS data during startup and shutdown,
as defined in this subpart, are not corrected to 7 percent oxygen, and
are measured at stack oxygen content. The 1-hour arithmetic averages
must be calculated using the data points required under Sec.
60.13(e)(2).
(m) For energy recovery units over 10 MMBtu/hr but less than 250
MMBtu/hr annual average heat input rates that do not use a wet
scrubber, fabric filter with bag leak detection system, or particulate
matter CEMS, you must install, operate, certify, and maintain a
continuous opacity monitoring system according to the procedures in
paragraphs (m)(1) through (5) of this section by the compliance date
specified in Sec. 60.2105. Energy recovery units that use a CEMS to
demonstrate initial and continuing compliance according to the
procedures in Sec. 60.2165(n) are not required to install a continuous
opacity monitoring system and must perform the annual performance tests
for the opacity consistent with Sec. 60.2145(f):
(1) Install, operate, and maintain each continuous opacity
monitoring system according to performance specification 1 of 40 CFR
part 60, appendix B;
(2) Conduct a performance evaluation of each continuous opacity
monitoring system according to the requirements in Sec. 60.13 and
according to PS-1 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix B;
(3) As specified in Sec. 60.13(e)(1), each continuous opacity
monitoring system must complete a minimum of one cycle of sampling and
analyzing for each successive 10-second period and one cycle of data
recording for each successive 6-minute period;
(4) Reduce the continuous opacity monitoring system data as
specified in Sec. 60.13(h)(1); and
(5) Determine and record all the 6-minute averages (and 1-hour
block averages as applicable) collected.
(n) For coal and liquid/gas energy recovery units, incinerators,
and small remote incinerators, an owner or operator may elect to
install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a CEMS for monitoring
particulate matter emissions discharged to the atmosphere and record
the output of the system. The owner or operator of an affected facility
who continuously monitors particulate matter emissions instead of
conducting performance testing using EPA Method 5 at 40 CFR part 60,
appendix A-3 or, as applicable, monitor with a particulate matter CPMS
according to paragraph (r) of this section, must install, calibrate,
maintain, and operate a CEMS and must comply with the requirements
specified in paragraphs (n)(1) through (13) of this section:
(1) Notify the Administrator 1 month before starting use of the
system;
(2) Notify the Administrator 1 month before stopping use of the
system;
(3) The monitor must be installed, evaluated, and operated in
accordance with the requirements of performance specification 11 of
appendix B of this part and quality assurance requirements of procedure
two of appendix F of this part and Sec. 60.13. Use Method 5 or Method
5I of Appendix A of this part for the PM CEMS correlation testing;
(4) The initial performance evaluation must be completed no later
than 180 days after the date of initial startup of the affected
facility, as specified under Sec. 60.2125 or within 180 days of
notification to the Administrator of use of the continuous monitoring
system if the owner or operator was previously determining compliance
by Method 5 performance tests, whichever is later;
(5) The owner or operator of an affected facility may request that
compliance with the particulate matter emission limit be determined
using carbon dioxide measurements corrected to an equivalent of 7
percent oxygen. The relationship between oxygen and carbon dioxide
levels for the affected facility must be established according to the
procedures and methods specified in Sec. 60.2145(t)(4)(i) through
(iv);
(6) The owner or operator of an affected facility must conduct an
initial performance test for particulate matter emissions as required
under Sec. 60.2125. Compliance with the particulate matter emission
limit, if PM CEMS are elected for demonstrating compliance, must be
determined by using the CEMS specified in paragraph (n) of this section
to measure particulate matter. You must calculate a 30-day rolling
average of 1-hour arithmetic average emission concentrations, including
CEMS data during startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart,
using equation 19-19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA Reference Method 19 at 40
CFR part 60, appendix A-7;
(7) Compliance with the particulate matter emission limit must be
determined based on the 30-day rolling average calculated using
equation 19-19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA Reference Method 19 at 40 CFR
part 60, appendix A-7 from the 1-hour arithmetic average CEMS outlet
data;
(8) At a minimum, valid continuous monitoring system hourly
averages must be obtained as specified in Sec. 60.2170(e);
(9) The 1-hour arithmetic averages required under paragraph (n)(7)
of this section must be expressed in milligrams per dry standard cubic
meter corrected to 7 percent oxygen (dry basis) and must be used to
calculate the 30-day rolling average emission concentrations. CEMS data
during startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart, are not
corrected to 7 percent oxygen, and are measured at stack oxygen
content. The 1-hour arithmetic averages must be calculated using the
data points required under Sec. 60.13(e)(2);
(10) All valid CEMS data must be used in calculating average
emission concentrations even if the minimum
[[Page 40986]]
CEMS data requirements of paragraph (n)(8) of this section are not met.
(11) The CEMS must be operated according to performance
specification 11 in appendix B of this part;
(12) During each relative accuracy test run of the CEMS required by
performance specification 11 in appendix B of this part, particulate
matter and oxygen (or carbon dioxide) data must be collected
concurrently (or within a 30- to 60-minute period) by both the CEMS and
the following test methods:
(i) For particulate matter, EPA Reference Method 5 must be used;
and
(ii) For oxygen (or carbon dioxide), EPA Reference Method 3A or 3B,
as applicable, must be used; and
(13) Quarterly accuracy determinations and daily calibration drift
tests must be performed in accordance with procedure 2 in appendix F of
this part.
(o) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the carbon monoxide
emissions limit, you may substitute use of a continuous automated
sampling system for the carbon monoxide annual performance test:
(1) Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a CEMS for measuring
carbon monoxide emissions discharged to the atmosphere and record the
output of the system. The requirements under performance specification
4B of appendix B of this part, the quality assurance procedure 1 of
appendix F of this part and the procedures under Sec. 60.13 must be
followed for installation, evaluation, and operation of the CEMS; and
(2) Following the date that the initial performance test for carbon
monoxide is completed or is required to be completed under Sec.
60.2140, compliance with the carbon monoxide emission limit may be
determined based on the 30-day rolling average of the hourly arithmetic
average emission concentrations, including CEMS data during startup and
shutdown as defined in this subpart, using CEMS outlet data. Except for
CEMS data during startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart, the
1-hour arithmetic averages must be expressed in parts per million
corrected to 7 percent oxygen (dry basis) and used to calculate the 30-
day rolling average emission concentrations. CEMS data during startup
and shutdown, as defined in this subpart, are not corrected to 7
percent oxygen, and are measured at stack oxygen content. The 1-hour
arithmetic averages must be calculated using the data points required
under Sec. 60.13(e)(2).
(p) The owner/operator of an affected source with a bypass stack
shall install, calibrate (to manufacturers' specifications), maintain,
and operate a device or method for measuring the use of the bypass
stack including date, time and duration.
(q) For energy recovery units with a design heat input capacity of
100 MMBtu per hour or greater that do not use a carbon monoxide CEMS,
you must install, operate, and maintain a oxygen analyzer system as
defined in Sec. 60.2265 according to the procedures in paragraphs
(q)(1) through (4) of this section:
(1) The oxygen analyzer system must be installed by the initial
performance test date specified in Sec. 60.2140;
(2) You must operate the oxygen trim system within compliance with
paragraph (q)(3) of this section at all times;
(3) You must maintain the oxygen level such that the 30-day rolling

greater than or equal to 250 MMBtu/hour and waste-burning kilns, you
must install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a PM CPMS and record the
output of the system as specified in paragraphs (r)(1) through (8) of
this section. If you elect to use a particulate matter CEMS as
specified in paragraph (n) of this section, you are not required to use
a PM CPMS to monitor particulate matter emissions. For other energy
recovery units, you may elect to use PM CPMS operated in accordance
with this section. PM CPMS are suitable in lieu of using other CMS for
monitoring PM compliance (e.g., bag leak detectors, ESP secondary
power, PM scrubber pressure):
(1) Install, calibrate, operate, and maintain your PM CPMS
according to the procedures in your approved site-specific monitoring
plan developed in accordance with Sec. 60.2145(l) and (r)(1)(i)
through (iii) of this section:
(i) The operating principle of the PM CPMS must be based on in-
stack or extractive light scatter, light scintillation, beta
attenuation, or mass accumulation detection of PM in the exhaust gas or
representative sample. The reportable measurement output from the PM
CPMS must be expressed as milliamps or a digital signal equivalent;
(ii) The PM CPMS must have a cycle time (i.e., period required to
complete sampling, measurement, and reporting for each measurement) no
longer than 60 minutes; and
(iii) The PM CPMS must be capable of detecting and responding to
particulate matter concentration increments no greater than 0.5 mg/
actual cubic meter.
(2) During the initial performance test or any such subsequent
performance test that demonstrates compliance with the PM limit, you
must adjust the site-specific operating limit in accordance with the
results of the performance test according to the procedures specified
in Sec. 60.2110.
(3) Collect PM CPMS hourly average output data for all energy
recovery unit or waste-burning kiln operating hours. Express the PM
CPMS output as milliamps or the digital signal equivalent.
(4) Calculate the arithmetic 30-day rolling average of all of the
hourly average PM CPMS output collected during all energy recovery unit
or waste-burning kiln operating hours data (milliamps or digital bits).
(5) You must collect data using the PM CPMS at all times the energy
recovery unit or waste-burning kiln is operating and at the intervals
specified in paragraph (r)(1)(ii) of this section, except for periods
of monitoring system malfunctions, repairs associated with monitoring
system malfunctions, required monitoring system quality assurance or
quality control activities (including, as applicable, calibration
checks and required zero and span adjustments), and any scheduled
maintenance as defined in your site-specific monitoring plan.
(6) You must use all the data collected during all energy recovery
unit or waste-burning kiln operating hours in assessing the compliance
with your operating limit except:
(i) Any data collected during monitoring system malfunctions,
repairs associated with monitoring system malfunctions, or required
monitoring system quality assurance or quality control activities
conducted during monitoring system malfunctions are not used in
calculations (report any such periods in your annual deviation report);
(ii) Any data collected during periods when the monitoring system
is out of control as specified in your site-specific monitoring plan,
repairs associated with periods when the monitoring system is out of
control, or required monitoring system quality assurance or quality
control activities conducted during out-
[[Page 40987]]
of-control periods are not used in calculations (report emissions or
operating levels and report any such periods in your annual deviation
report); and
(iii) Any PM CPMS data recorded during periods of CEMS data during
startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart.
(7) You must record and make available upon request results of PM
CPMS system performance audits, as well as the dates and duration of
periods from when the PM CPMS is out of control until completion of the
corrective actions necessary to return the PM CPMS to operation
consistent with your site-specific monitoring plan.
(8) For any deviation of the 30-day rolling average PM CPMS average
value from the established operating parameter limit, you must:
(i) Within 48 hours of the deviation, visually inspect the air
pollution control device;
(ii) If inspection of the air pollution control device identifies
the cause of the deviation, take corrective action as soon as possible
and return the PM CPMS measurement to within the established value;
(iii) Within 30 days of the deviation or at the time of the annual
compliance test, whichever comes first, conduct a PM emissions
compliance test to determine compliance with the PM emissions limit and
to verify the operation of the emissions control device(s). Within 45
days of the deviation, you must re-establish the CPMS operating limit.
You are not required to conduct additional testing for any deviations
that occur between the time of the original deviation and the PM
emissions compliance test required under this paragraph; and
(iv) PM CPMS deviations leading to more than four required
performance tests in a 12-month process operating period (rolling
monthly) constitute a violation of this subpart.
(s) If you use a dry scrubber to comply with the emission limits of
this subpart, you must monitor the injection rate of each sorbent and
maintain the 3-hour block averages at or above the operating limits
established during the hydrogen chloride performance test.
Sec. 60.2170 Is there a minimum amount of monitoring data I must
obtain?
For each continuous monitoring system required or optionally
allowed under Sec. 60.2165, you must collect data according to this
section:
(a) You must operate the monitoring system and collect data at all
required intervals at all times compliance is required except for
periods of monitoring system malfunctions or out-of-control periods,
repairs associated with monitoring system malfunctions or out-of-
control periods (as specified in 60.2210(o)), and required monitoring
system quality assurance or quality control activities (including, as
applicable, calibration checks and required zero and span adjustments).
A monitoring system malfunction is any sudden, infrequent, not
reasonably preventable failure of the monitoring system to provide
valid data. Monitoring system failures that are caused in part by poor
maintenance or careless operation are not malfunctions. You are
required to effect monitoring system repairs in response to monitoring
system malfunctions or out-of-control periods and to return the
monitoring system to operation as expeditiously as practicable;
(b) You may not use data recorded during monitoring system
malfunctions or out-of-control periods, repairs associated with
monitoring system malfunctions or out-of-control periods, or required
monitoring system quality assurance or control activities in
calculations used to report emissions or operating levels. You must use
all the data collected during all other periods, including data
normalized for above scale readings, in assessing the operation of the
control device and associated control system; and
(c) Except for periods of monitoring system malfunctions or out-of-
control periods, repairs associated with monitoring system malfunctions
or out-of-control periods, and required monitoring system quality
assurance or quality control activities including, as applicable,
calibration checks and required zero and span adjustments, failure to
collect required data is a deviation of the monitoring requirements.

Definitions
Sec. 60.2265 What definitions must I know?
Terms used but not defined in this subpart are defined in the Clean
Air Act and subpart A (General Provisions) of this part.
30-day rolling average means the arithmetic mean of the previous
720 hours of valid operating data. Valid data excludes periods when
this unit is not operating. The 720 hours should be consecutive, but
not necessarily continuous if operations are intermittent.
Administrator means the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency or his/her authorized representative or Administrator
of a State Air Pollution Control Agency.
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 walls and floor.
(Air curtain incinerators are not to be confused with conventional
combustion devices with enclosed fireboxes and controlled air
technology such as mass burn, modular, and fluidized bed combustors.)
Annual heat input means the heat input for the 12 months preceding
the compliance demonstration.
Auxiliary fuel means natural gas, liquified petroleum gas, fuel
oil, or diesel fuel.
Average annual heat input rate means annual heat input divided by
the hours of operation for the 12 months preceding the compliance
demonstration.
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
[[Page 40992]]
scattering, light transmittance, or other principle to monitor relative
particulate matter loadings.
Burn-off oven means any rack reclamation unit, part reclamation
unit, or drum reclamation unit. A burn-off oven is not an incinerator,
waste-burning kiln, an energy recovery unit or a small, remote
incinerator under this subpart.
Bypass stack means a device used for discharging combustion gases
to avoid severe damage to the air pollution control device or other
equipment.
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.
CEMS data during startup and shutdown means the following:
(1) For incinerators and small remote incinerators: CEMS data
collected during the first hours of a CISWI unit startup from a cold
start until waste is fed to the unit and the hours of operation
following the cessation of waste material being fed to the CISWI unit
during a unit shutdown. For each startup event, the length of time that
CEMS data may be claimed as being CEMS data during startup must be 48
operating hours or less. For each shutdown event, the length of time
that CEMS data may be claimed as being CEMS data during shutdown must
be 24 operating hours or less;
(2) For energy recovery units: CEMS data collected during the
startup or shutdown periods of operation. Startup begins with either
the first-ever firing of fuel in a boiler or process heater for the
purpose of supplying useful thermal energy (such as steam or heat) for
heating, cooling or process purposes, or producing electricity, or the
firing of fuel in a boiler or process heater for any purpose after a
shutdown event. Startup ends four hours after when the boiler or
process heater makes useful thermal energy (such as heat or steam) for
heating, cooling, or process purposes, or generates electricity,
whichever is earlier. Shutdown begins when the boiler or process heater
no longer makes useful thermal energy (such as heat or steam) for
heating, cooling, or process purposes and/or generates electricity or
when no fuel is being fed to the boiler or process heater, whichever is
earlier. Shutdown ends when the boiler or process heater no longer
makes useful thermal energy (such as steam or heat) for heating,
cooling, or process purposes and/or generates electricity, and no fuel
is being combusted in the boiler or process heater; and
(3) For waste-burning kilns: CEMS data collected during the periods
of kiln operation that do not include normal operations. Startup means
the time from when a shutdown kiln first begins firing fuel until it
begins producing clinker. Startup begins when a shutdown kiln turns on
the induced draft fan and begins firing fuel in the main burner.
Startup ends when feed is being continuously introduced into the kiln
for at least 120 minutes or when the feed rate exceeds 60 percent of
the kiln design limitation rate, whichever occurs first. Shutdown means
the cessation of kiln operation. Shutdown begins when feed to the kiln
is halted and ends when continuous kiln rotation ceases.
Chemical recovery unit means combustion units burning materials to
recover chemical constituents or to produce chemical compounds where
there is an existing commercial market for such recovered chemical
constituents or compounds. A chemical recovery unit is not an
incinerator, a waste-burning kiln, an energy recovery unit or a small,
remote incinerator under this subpart. The following seven types of
units are considered chemical recovery units:
(1) Units burning only pulping liquors (i.e., black liquor) that
are reclaimed in a pulping liquor recovery process and reused in the
pulping process;
(2) Units burning only spent sulfuric acid used to produce virgin
sulfuric acid;
(3) Units burning only wood or coal feedstock for the production of
charcoal;
(4) Units burning only manufacturing byproduct streams/residue
containing catalyst metals that are reclaimed and reused as catalysts
or used to produce commercial grade catalysts;
(5) Units burning only coke to produce purified carbon monoxide
that is used as an intermediate in the production of other chemical
compounds;
(6) Units burning only hydrocarbon liquids or solids to produce
hydrogen, carbon monoxide, synthesis gas, or other gases for use in
other manufacturing processes; and
(7) Units burning only photographic film to recover silver.

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 distinct operating unit of any commercial or industrial
facility that combusts, or has combusted in the preceding 6 months, any
solid waste as that term is defined in 40 CFR part 241. If the
operating unit burns materials other than traditional fuels as defined
in Sec. 241.2 that have been discarded, and you do not keep and
produce records as required by Sec. 60.2175(v), the operating unit is
a CISWI unit. While not all CISWI units will include all of the
following components, a CISWI unit includes, but is not limited to, the
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 solid 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.
Contained gaseous material means gases that are in a container when
that container is combusted.
Continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) means the total
equipment that may be required to meet the data acquisition and
availability requirements of this subpart, used to sample, condition
(if applicable), analyze, and provide a record of emissions.
Continuous monitoring system (CMS) means the total equipment,
required under the emission monitoring sections in applicable subparts,
used to sample and condition (if applicable), to analyze, and to
provide a permanent record of emissions or process parameters. A
particulate matter continuous parameter monitoring system (PM CPMS) is
a type of CMS.
Cyclonic burn barrel 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

subpart, including but not limited to any emission limitation,
operating limit, or operator qualification and accessibility
requirements; and
(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.
Dioxins/furans means tetra- through octa-chlorinated 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.
Dry scrubber means an add-on air pollution control system that
injects dry alkaline sorbent (dry injection) or sprays an alkaline
sorbent (spray dryer) to react with and neutralize acid gas in the
exhaust stream forming a dry powder material. Sorbent injection systems
in fluidized bed boilers and process heaters are included in this
definition. A dry scrubber is a dry control system.
Energy recovery means the process of recovering thermal energy from
combustion for useful purposes such as steam generation or process
heating.
Energy recovery unit means a combustion unit combusting solid waste
(as that term is defined by the Administrator in 40 CFR part 241) for
energy recovery. Energy recovery units include units that would be
considered boilers and process heaters if they did not combust solid
waste.
Energy recovery unit designed to burn biomass (Biomass) means an
energy recovery unit that burns solid waste, biomass, and non-coal
solid materials but less than 10 percent coal, on a heat input basis on
an annual average, either alone or in combination with liquid waste,
liquid fuel or gaseous fuels.

burning kiln, an energy recovery unit or a small, remote incinerator
under this subpart.
Incinerator means any furnace used in the process of combusting
solid waste (as that term is defined by the Administrator in 40 CFR
part 241) for the purpose of reducing the volume of the waste by
removing combustible matter. Incinerator designs include single chamber

In-line kiln/raw mill means a system in a Portland Cement
production process where a dry kiln system is integrated with the raw
mill so that all or a portion of the kiln exhaust gases are used to
perform the drying operation of the raw mill, with no auxiliary heat
source used. In this system the kiln is capable of operating without
the raw mill operating, but the raw mill cannot operate without the
kiln gases, and consequently, the raw mill does not generate a separate
exhaust gas stream.
Kiln means an oven or furnace, including any associated preheater
or precalciner devices, in-line raw mills, in-line coal mills or alkali
bypasses used for processing a substance by burning, firing or drying.
Kilns include cement kilns that produce clinker by heating limestone
and other materials for subsequent production of Portland Cement.

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)).

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; and
(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 standards.

or other appropriate location. This definition includes oxygen trim
systems and certified oxygen CEMS. The source owner or operator is
responsible to install, calibrate, maintain, and operate the oxygen
analyzer system in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Oxygen trim system means a system of monitors that is used to
maintain excess air at the desired level in a combustion device over
its operating range. A typical system consists of a flue gas oxygen

in the performance test section of the relevant standard.
Process change means any of the following physical or operational
changes:
(1) A physical change (maintenance activities excluded) to the
CISWI unit which may increase the emission rate of any air pollutant to
which a standard applies;
(2) An operational change to the CISWI unit where a new type of
non-hazardous secondary material is being combusted;
(3) A physical change (maintenance activities excluded) to the air
pollution control devices used to comply with the emission limits for
the CISWI unit (e.g., replacing an electrostatic precipitator with a
fabric filter); and
(4) An operational change to the air pollution control devices used
to comply with the emission limits for the affected CISWI unit (e.g.,
change in the sorbent injection rate used for activated carbon
injection).
Rack reclamation unit means a unit that burns the coatings off
racks used to hold small items for application of a coating. The unit
burns the coating overspray off the rack so the rack can be reused.
Raw mill means a ball or tube mill, vertical roller mill or other
size reduction equipment, that is not part of an in-line kiln/raw mill,
used to grind feed to the appropriate size. Moisture may be added or
removed from the feed during the grinding operation. If the raw mill is
used to remove moisture from feed materials, it is also, by definition,
a raw material dryer. The raw mill also includes the air separator
associated with the raw mill.
Reconstruction means rebuilding a CISWI unit and meeting two
criteria:
(1) The reconstruction begins on or after August 7, 2013; and
(2) The cumulative cost of the construction over the life of the

Subpart DDDD--Emissions Guidelines and Compliance Times for
Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units
Introduction
Sec. 60.2500 What is the purpose of this subpart?
This subpart establishes emission guidelines and compliance
schedules for the control of emissions from commercial and industrial
solid waste incineration (CISWI) units. The pollutants addressed by
these emission guidelines are listed in table 2 of this subpart and
tables 6 through 9 of this subpart. These emission guidelines are
developed in accordance with sections 111(d) and 129 of the Clean Air
Act and subpart B of this part.
Sec. 60.2505 Am I affected by this subpart?
(a) If you are the Administrator of an air quality program in a
state or United States protectorate with one or more existing CISWI
units that meet the criteria in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this
section, you must submit a state plan to U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) that implements the emission guidelines contained in this
subpart.
(b) You must submit a state plan to EPA by December 3, 2001 for
incinerator units that commenced construction on or before November 30,
1999 and that were not modified or reconstructed after June 1, 2001.
(c) You must submit a state plan that meets the requirements of
this subpart and contains the more stringent emission limit for the
respective pollutant in table 6 of this subpart or table 1 of subpart
CCCC of this part to EPA by February 7, 2014 for incinerators that
commenced construction after November 30, 1999, but no later than June
4, 2010, or commenced modification or reconstruction after June 1, 2001
but no later than August 7, 2013.
(d) You must submit a state plan to EPA that meets the requirements
of this subpart and contains the emission limits in tables 7 through 9
of this subpart by February 7, 2014, for CISWI units other than
incinerator units that commenced construction on or before June 4,
2010, or commenced modification or reconstruction after June 4, 2010
but no later than August 7, 2013.
Sec. 60.2510 Is a state plan required for all states?
No. You are not required to submit a state plan if there are no
existing CISWI units in your state, and you submit a negative
declaration letter in place of the state plan.
Sec. 60.2515 What must I include in my state plan?
(a) You must include the nine items described in paragraphs (a)(1)
through (9) of this section in your state plan:
(1) Inventory of affected CISWI units, including those that have
ceased operation but have not been dismantled;
(2) Inventory of emissions from affected CISWI units in your state;
(3) Compliance schedules for each affected CISWI unit;
(4) Emission limitations, operator training and qualification
requirements, a waste management plan, and operating limits for
affected CISWI units that are at least as protective as the emission
guidelines contained in this subpart;
(5) Performance testing, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements;
(6) Certification that the hearing on the state plan was held, a
list of witnesses and their organizational affiliations, if any,
appearing at the hearing, and a brief written summary of each
presentation or written submission;
(7) Provision for state progress reports to EPA;
(8) Identification of enforceable state mechanisms that you
selected for implementing the emission guidelines of this subpart; and
(9) Demonstration of your state's legal authority to carry out the
sections 111(d) and 129 state plan.
(b) Your state plan may deviate from the format and content of the
emission guidelines contained in this subpart. However, if your state
plan does deviate in content, you must demonstrate that your state plan
is at least as protective as the emission guidelines contained in this
subpart. Your state plan must address regulatory applicability,
increments of progress for retrofit, operator training and
qualification, a waste management plan, emission limitations,
performance testing, operating limits, monitoring, recordkeeping and
reporting, and air curtain incinerator requirements.
(c) You must follow the requirements of subpart B of this part
(Adoption and Submittal of State Plans for Designated Facilities) in
your state plan.
Sec. 60.2520 Is there an approval process for my state plan?
Yes. The EPA will review your state plan according to Sec. 60.27.
Sec. 60.2525 What if my state plan is not approvable?
(a) If you do not submit an approvable state plan (or a negative
declaration letter) by December 2, 2002, EPA will
[[Page 41003]]
develop a federal plan according to Sec. 60.27 to implement the
emission guidelines contained in this subpart. Owners and operators of
CISWI units not covered by an approved state plan must comply with the
federal plan. The federal plan is an interim action and will be
automatically withdrawn when your state plan is approved.
(b) If you do not submit an approvable state plan (or a negative
declaration letter) to EPA that meets the requirements of this subpart
and contains the emission limits in tables 6 through 9 of this subpart
for CISWI units that commenced construction on or before June 4, 2010
and incinerator or air curtain incinerator units that commenced
reconstruction or modification on or after June 1, 2001 but no later
than August 7, 2013, then EPA will develop a federal plan according to
Sec. 60.27 to implement the emission guidelines contained in this
subpart. Owners and operators of CISWI units not covered by an approved
state plan must comply with the federal plan. The federal plan is an
interim action and will be automatically withdrawn when your state plan
is approved.
Sec. 60.2530 Is there an approval process for a negative declaration
letter?
No. The EPA has no formal review process for negative declaration
letters. Once your negative declaration letter has been received, EPA
will place a copy in the public docket and publish a notice in the
Federal Register. If, at a later date, an existing CISWI unit is found
in your state, the federal plan implementing the emission guidelines
contained in this subpart would automatically apply to that CISWI unit
until your state plan is approved.
Sec. 60.2535 What compliance schedule must I include in my state
plan?
(a) For CISWI units in the incinerator subcategory and air curtain
incinerators that commenced construction on or before November 30,
1999, your state plan must include compliance schedules that require
CISWI units in the incinerator subcategory and air curtain incinerators
to achieve final compliance as expeditiously as practicable after
approval of the state plan but not later than the earlier of the two
dates specified in paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this section:
(1) December 1, 2005; and
(2) Three years after the effective date of state plan approval.
(b) For CISWI units in the incinerator subcategory and air curtain
incinerators that commenced construction after November 30, 1999, but
on or before June 4, 2010 or that commenced reconstruction or
modification on or after June 1, 2001 but no later than August 7, 2013,
and for CISWI units in the small remote incinerator, energy recovery
unit, and waste-burning kiln subcategories that commenced construction
before June 4, 2010, your state plan must include compliance schedules
that require CISWI units to achieve final compliance as expeditiously
as practicable after approval of the state plan but not later than the
earlier of the two dates specified in paragraphs (b)(1) and (2) of this
section:
(1) February 7, 2018; and
(2) Three years after the effective date of State plan approval.
(c) For compliance schedules more than 1 year following the
effective date of State plan approval, State plans must include dates
for enforceable increments of progress as specified in Sec. 60.2580.
Sec. 60.2540 Are there any State plan requirements for this subpart
that apply instead of the requirements specified in subpart B?
Yes. Subpart B establishes general requirements for developing and
processing section 111(d) plans. This subpart applies instead of the
requirements in subpart B of this part for paragraphs (a) and (b) of
this section:
(a) State plans developed to implement this subpart must be as
protective as the emission guidelines contained in this subpart. State
plans must require all CISWI units to comply by the dates specified in
Sec. 60.2535. This applies instead of the option for case-by-case less
stringent emission standards and longer compliance schedules in Sec.
60.24(f); and
(b) State plans developed to implement this subpart are required to
include two increments of progress for the affected CISWI units. These
two minimum increments are the final control plan submittal date and
final compliance date in Sec. 60.21(h)(1) and (5). This applies
instead of the requirement of Sec. 60.24(e)(1) that would require a
State plan to include all five increments of progress for all CISWI
units.
Sec. 60.2541 In lieu of a state plan submittal, are there other
acceptable option(s) for a state to meet its Clean Air Act section
111(d)/129(b)(2) obligations?
Yes, a state may meet its Clean Air Act section 111(d)/129
obligations by submitting an acceptable written request for delegation
of the federal plan that meets the requirements of this section. This
is the only other option for a state to meet its Clean Air Act section
111(d)/129 obligations.
(a) An acceptable federal plan delegation request must include the
following:
(1) A demonstration of adequate resources and legal authority to
administer and enforce the federal plan;
(2) The items under Sec. 60.2515(a)(1), (2) and (7);
(3) Certification that the hearing on the state delegation request,
similar to the hearing for a state plan submittal, was held, a list of
witnesses and their organizational affiliations, if any, appearing at
the hearing, and a brief written summary of each presentation or
written submission; and
(4) A commitment to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement with the
Regional Administrator who sets forth the terms, conditions, and
effective date of the delegation and that serves as the mechanism for
the transfer of authority. Additional guidance and information is given
in EPA's Delegation Manual, Item 7-139, Implementation and Enforcement
of 111(d)(2) and 111(d)/(2)/129(b)(3) federal plans.
(b) A state with an already approved CISWI Clean Air Act section
111(d)/129 state plan is not precluded from receiving EPA approval of a
delegation request for the revised federal plan, providing the
requirements of paragraph (a) of this section are met, and at the time
of the delegation request, the state also requests withdrawal of EPA's
previous state plan approval.
(c) A state's Clean Air Act section 111(d)/129 obligations are
separate from its obligations under Title V of the Clean Air Act.
Sec. 60.2542 What authorities will not be delegated to state, local,
or tribal agencies?
The authorities listed under Sec. 60.2030(c) will not be delegated
to state, local, or tribal agencies.
Sec. 60.2545 Does this subpart directly affect CISWI unit owners and
operators in my state?
(a) No. This subpart does not directly affect CISWI unit owners and
operators in your state. However, CISWI unit owners and operators must
comply with the state plan you develop to implement the emission
guidelines contained in this subpart. States may choose to incorporate
the model rule text directly in their state plan.
(b) If you do not submit an approvable plan to implement and
enforce the guidelines contained in this subpart for CISWI units that
commenced construction before November 30, 1999 by December 2, 2002,
EPA will implement and enforce a federal plan, as provided in Sec.
60.2525, to ensure that each unit within your state reaches
[[Page 41004]]
compliance with all the provisions of this subpart by December 1, 2005.
(c) If you do not submit an approvable plan to implement and
enforce the guidelines contained in this subpart by February 7, 2014,
for CISWI units that commenced construction on or before June 4, 2010,
EPA will implement and enforce a federal plan, as provided in Sec.
60.2525, to ensure that each unit within your state that commenced
construction on or before June 4, 2010, reaches compliance with all the
provisions of this subpart by February 7, 2018.

If all qualified operators are temporarily not accessible (i.e.,
not at the facility and not able to be at the facility within 1 hour),
you must meet one of the two criteria specified in paragraphs (a) and
(b) of this section, depending on the length of time that a qualified
operator is not accessible:
[[Page 41007]]
(a) When all qualified operators are not accessible for more than 8
hours, but less than 2 weeks, the CISWI unit may be operated by other
plant personnel familiar with the operation of the CISWI unit who have
completed a review of the information specified in Sec. 60.2660(a)
within the past 12 months. However, you must record the period when all
qualified operators were not accessible and include this deviation in
the annual report as specified under Sec. 60.2770;
(b) When all qualified operators are not accessible for 2 weeks or
more, you must take the two actions that are described in paragraphs
(b)(1) and (2) of this section:
(1) Notify the Administrator of this deviation in writing within 10
days. In the notice, state what caused this deviation, what you are
doing to ensure that a qualified operator is accessible, and when you
anticipate that a qualified operator will be accessible; and
(2) Submit a status report to the Administrator every 4 weeks
outlining what you are doing to ensure that a qualified operator is
accessible, stating when you anticipate that a qualified operator will
be accessible and requesting approval from the Administrator to
continue operation of the CISWI unit. You must submit the first status
report 4 weeks after you notify the Administrator of the deviation
under paragraph (b)(1) of this section. If the Administrator notifies
you that your request to continue operation of the CISWI unit is
disapproved, the CISWI unit may continue operation for 90 days, then
must cease operation. Operation of the unit may resume if you meet the
two requirements in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) and (ii) of this section:
(i) A qualified operator is accessible as required under Sec.
60.2635(a); and
(ii) You notify the Administrator that a qualified operator is
accessible and that you are resuming operation.
Model Rule--Emission Limitations and Operating Limits
Sec. 60.2670 What emission limitations must I meet and by when?
(a) You must meet the emission limitations for each CISWI unit,
including bypass stack or vent, specified in table 2 of this subpart or
tables 6 through 9 of this subpart by the final compliance date under
the approved state plan, federal plan, or delegation, as applicable.
The emission limitations apply at all times the unit is operating
including and not limited to startup, shutdown, or malfunction.
(b) Units that do not use wet scrubbers must maintain opacity to
less than or equal to the percent opacity (three 1-hour blocks
consisting of ten 6-minute average opacity values) specified in table 2
of this subpart, as applicable.
Sec. 60.2675 What operating limits must I meet and by when?
(a) If you use a wet scrubber(s) to comply with the emission
limitations, you must establish operating limits for up to four
operating parameters (as specified in table 3 of this subpart) as
described in paragraphs (a)(1) through (4) of this section during the
initial performance test:
(1) Maximum charge rate, calculated using one of the two different
procedures in paragraph (a)(1)(i) or (ii) of this section, as
appropriate:
(i) For continuous and intermittent units, maximum charge rate is
110 percent of the average charge rate measured during the most recent
performance test demonstrating compliance with all applicable emission
limitations; and
(ii) For batch units, maximum charge rate is 110 percent of the
daily charge rate measured during the most recent performance test
demonstrating compliance with all applicable emission limitations.
(2) Minimum pressure drop across the wet particulate matter
scrubber, which is calculated as the lowest 1-hour average pressure
drop across the wet scrubber measured during the most recent
performance test demonstrating compliance with the particulate matter
emission limitations; or minimum amperage to the wet scrubber, which is
calculated as the lowest 1-hour average amperage to the wet scrubber
measured during the most recent performance test demonstrating
compliance with the particulate matter emission limitations.
(3) Minimum scrubber liquid flow rate, which is calculated as the
lowest 1-hour average liquid flow rate at the inlet to the wet acid gas
or particulate matter scrubber measured during the most recent
performance test demonstrating compliance with all applicable emission
limitations.
(4) Minimum scrubber liquor pH, which is calculated as the lowest
1-hour average liquor pH at the inlet to the wet acid gas scrubber
measured during the most recent performance test demonstrating
compliance with the HCl emission limitation.
(b) You must meet the operating limits established during the
initial performance test on the date the initial performance test is
required or completed (whichever is earlier). You must conduct an
initial performance evaluation of each continuous monitoring system and
continuous parameter monitoring system within 60 days of installation
of the monitoring system.
(c) If you use a fabric filter to comply with the emission
limitations and you do not use a PM CPMS for monitoring PM compliance,
you must operate each fabric filter system such that the bag leak
detection system alarm does not sound more than 5 percent of the
operating time during a 6-month period. In calculating this operating
time percentage, if inspection of the fabric filter demonstrates that
no corrective action is required, no alarm time is counted. If
corrective action is required, each alarm shall be counted as a minimum
of 1 hour. If you take longer than 1 hour to initiate corrective
action, the alarm time shall be counted as the actual amount of time
taken by you to initiate corrective action.
(d) If you use an electrostatic precipitator to comply with the
emission limitations and you do not use a PM CPMS for monitoring PM
compliance, you must measure the (secondary) voltage and amperage of
the electrostatic precipitator collection plates during the particulate
matter performance test. Calculate the average electric power value
(secondary voltage x secondary current = secondary electric power) for
each test run. The operating limit for the electrostatic precipitator
is calculated as the lowest 1-hour average secondary electric power
measured during the most recent performance test demonstrating
compliance with the particulate matter emission limitations.
(e) If you use activated carbon sorbent injection to comply with
the emission limitations, you must measure the sorbent flow rate during
the performance testing. The operating limit for the carbon sorbent
injection is calculated as the lowest 1-hour average sorbent flow rate
measured during the most recent performance test demonstrating
compliance with the mercury emission limitations. For energy recovery
units, when your unit operates at lower loads, multiply your sorbent
injection rate by the load fraction, as defined in this subpart, to
determine the required injection rate (e.g., for 50 percent load,
multiply the injection rate operating limit by 0.5).
(f) If you use selective noncatalytic reduction to comply with the
emission limitations, you must measure the charge rate, the secondary
chamber temperature (if applicable to your CISWI unit), and the reagent
flow rate during the nitrogen oxides performance testing. The operating
limits for the selective noncatalytic reduction are calculated as the
highest 1-hour average charge rate, lowest secondary chamber
temperature,
[[Page 41008]]
and lowest reagent flow rate measured during the most recent
performance test demonstrating compliance with the nitrogen oxides
emission limitations.
(g) If you use a dry scrubber to comply with the emission
limitations, you must measure the injection rate of each sorbent during
the performance testing. The operating limit for the injection rate of
each sorbent is calculated as the lowest 1-hour average injection rate
of each sorbent measured during the most recent performance test
demonstrating compliance with the hydrogen chloride emission
limitations. For energy recovery units, when your unit operates at
lower loads, multiply your sorbent injection rate by the load fraction,
as defined in this subpart, to determine the required injection rate
(e.g., for 50 percent load, multiply the injection rate operating limit
by 0.5).
(h) If you do not use a wet scrubber, electrostatic precipitator,
or fabric filter to comply with the emission limitations, and if you do
not determine compliance with your particulate matter emission
limitation with either a particulate matter CEMS or a particulate
matter CPMS, you must maintain opacity to less than or equal to ten
percent opacity (1-hour block average).
(i) If you use a PM CPMS to demonstrate compliance, you must
establish your PM CPMS operating limit and determine compliance with it
according to paragraphs (i)(1) through (5) of this section:
(1) During the initial performance test or any such subsequent
performance test that demonstrates compliance with the PM limit, record
all hourly average output values (milliamps, or the digital signal
equivalent) from the PM CPMS for the periods corresponding to the test
runs (e.g., three 1-hour average PM CPMS output values for three 1-hour
test runs):
(i) Your PM CPMS must provide a 4-20 milliamp output, or the
digital signal equivalent, and the establishment of its relationship to
manual reference method measurements must be determined in units of
milliamps or digital bits;
(ii) Your PM CPMS operating range must be capable of reading PM
concentrations from zero to a level equivalent to at least two times
your allowable emission limit. If your PM CPMS is an auto-ranging
instrument capable of multiple scales, the primary range of the
instrument must be capable of reading PM concentration from zero to a
level equivalent to two times your allowable emission limit; and
(iii) During the initial performance test or any such subsequent
performance test that demonstrates compliance with the PM limit, record
and average all milliamp output values, or their digital equivalent,
from the PM CPMS for the periods corresponding to the compliance test
runs (e.g., average all your PM CPMS output values for three
corresponding 2-hour Method 5I test runs).
(2) If the average of your three PM performance test runs are below
75 percent of your PM emission limit, you must calculate an operating
limit by establishing a relationship of PM CPMS signal to PM
concentration using the PM CPMS instrument zero, the average PM CPMS
output values corresponding to the three compliance test runs, and the
average PM concentration from the Method 5 or performance test with the
procedures in (i)(1)through (5) of this section:
(i) Determine your instrument zero output with one of the following
procedures:
(A) Zero point data for in-situ instruments should be obtained by
removing the instrument from the stack and monitoring ambient air on a
test bench;
(B) Zero point data for extractive instruments should be obtained
by removing the extractive probe from the stack and drawing in clean
ambient air;
(C) The zero point can also can be established obtained by
performing manual reference method measurements when the flue gas is
free of PM emissions or contains very low PM concentrations (e.g., when
your process is not operating, but the fans are operating or your
source is combusting only natural gas) and plotting these with the
compliance data to find the zero intercept; and
(D) If none of the steps in paragraphs (i)(2)(i)(A) through (C) of
this section are possible, you must use a zero output value provided by
the manufacturer.
(ii) Determine your PM CPMS instrument average in milliamps, or the
digital equivalent, and the average of your corresponding three PM
compliance test runs, using equation 1:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.008
Where:
X1 = the PM CPMS output data points for the three runs
constituting the performance test,
Y1 = the PM concentration value for the three runs
constituting the performance test, and
n = the number of data points.
(iii) With your instrument zero expressed in milliamps, or the
digital equivalent, your three run average PM CPMS milliamp value, or
its digital equivalent, and your three run average PM concentration
from your three compliance tests, determine a relationship of mg/dscm
per milliamp or digital signal equivalent, with equation 2:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.009
Where:
R = the relative mg/dscm per milliamp, or the digital equivalent,
for your PM CPMS,
Y1 = the three run average mg/dscm PM concentration,
X1 = the three run average milliamp output, or the
digital equivalent, from you PM CPMS, and
z = the milliamp or digital signal equivalent of your instrument
zero determined from paragraph (i)(2)(i) of this section.
(iv) Determine your source specific 30-day rolling average
operating limit using the mg/dscm per milliamp value, or per digital
signal equivalent, from equation 2 in equation 3, below. This sets your
operating limit at the PM CPMS output value corresponding to 75 percent
of your emission limit:
[[Page 41009]]
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.010
Where:
Ol = the operating limit for your PM CPMS on a 30-day
rolling average, in milliamps or their digital signal equivalent,
L = your source emission limit expressed in mg/dscm,
z = your instrument zero in milliamps or digital equivalent,
determined from paragraph (i)(2)(i) of this section, and
R = the relative mg/dscm per milliamp, or per digital signal output
equivalent, for your PM CPMS, from equation 2.
(3) If the average of your three PM compliance test runs is at or
above 75 percent of your PM emission limit you must determine your
operating limit by averaging the PM CPMS milliamp or digital signal
output corresponding to your three PM performance test runs that
demonstrate compliance with the emission limit using equation 4 and you
must submit all compliance test and PM CPMS data according to the
reporting requirements in paragraph (i)(5) of this section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.011
Where:
X1 = the PM CPMS data points for all runs i,
n = the number of data points, and
Oh = your site specific operating limit, in milliamps or
digital signal equivalent.
(4) To determine continuous compliance, you must record the PM CPMS
output data for all periods when the process is operating and the PM
CPMS is not out-of-control. You must demonstrate continuous compliance
by using all quality-assured hourly average data collected by the PM
CPMS for all operating hours to calculate the arithmetic average
operating parameter in units of the operating limit (e.g., milliamps or
digital signal bits, PM concentration, raw data signal) on a 30-day
rolling average basis.
(5) For PM performance test reports used to set a PM CPMS operating
limit, the electronic submission of the test report must also include
the make and model of the PM CPMS instrument, serial number of the
instrument, analytical principle of the instrument (e.g., beta
attenuation), span of the instruments primary analytical range,
milliamp or digital signal value equivalent to the instrument zero
output, technique by which this zero value was determined, and the
average milliamp or digital signals corresponding to each PM compliance
test run.
Sec. 60.2680 What if I do not use a wet scrubber, fabric filter,
activated carbon injection, selective noncatalytic reduction, an
electrostatic precipitator, or a dry scrubber to comply with the
emission limitations?
(a) If you use an air pollution control device other than a wet
scrubber, activated carbon injection, selective noncatalytic reduction,
fabric filter, an electrostatic precipitator, or a dry scrubber or
limit emissions in some other manner, including mass balances, to
comply with the emission limitations under Sec. 60.2670, you must
petition the EPA Administrator for specific operating limits to be
established during the initial performance test and continuously
monitored thereafter. You must submit the petition at least sixty days
before the performance test is scheduled to begin. Your petition must
include the five items listed in paragraphs (a)(1) through (5) of this
section:
(1) Identification of the specific parameters you propose to use as
additional operating limits;
(2) A discussion of the relationship between these parameters and
emissions of regulated pollutants, identifying how emissions of
regulated pollutants change with changes in these parameters and how
limits on these parameters will serve to limit emissions of regulated
pollutants;
(3) A discussion of how you will establish the upper and/or lower
values for these parameters which will establish the operating limits
on these parameters;
(4) A discussion identifying the methods you will use to measure
and the instruments you will use to monitor these parameters, as well
as the relative accuracy and precision of these methods and
instruments; and
(5) A discussion identifying the frequency and methods for
recalibrating the instruments you will use for monitoring these
parameters.
(b) [Reserved]
Model Rule--Performance Testing
Sec. 60.2690 How do I conduct the initial and annual performance
test?
(a) All performance tests must consist of a minimum of three test
runs conducted under conditions representative of normal operations.
(b) You must document that the waste burned during the performance
test is representative of the waste burned under normal operating
conditions by maintaining a log of the quantity of waste burned (as
required in Sec. 60.2740(b)(1)) and the types of waste burned during
the performance test.
(c) All performance tests must be conducted using the minimum run
duration specified in tables 2 and 6 through 9 of this subpart.
(d) Method 1 of appendix A of this part must be used to select the

Method 3A or 3B of appendix A of this part must be used simultaneously
with each method.
(f) All pollutant concentrations, except for opacity, must be
adjusted to 7 percent oxygen using equation 5 of this section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.012
[[Page 41010]]
Where:
Cadj = pollutant concentration adjusted to 7 percent
oxygen;
Cmeas = pollutant concentration measured on a dry basis;
(20.9-7) = 20.9 percent oxygen-7 percent oxygen (defined oxygen
correction basis);
20.9 = oxygen concentration in air, percent; and
%O2 = oxygen concentration measured on a dry basis,
percent.
(g) You must determine dioxins/furans toxic equivalency by
following the procedures in paragraphs (g)(1) through (4) of this
section:
(1) Measure the concentration of each dioxin/furan tetra- through
octa-isomer emitted using EPA Method 23 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A;
(2) Quantify isomers meeting identification criteria 2, 3, 4, and 5
in Section 5.3.2.5 of Method 23, regardless of whether the isomers meet
identification criteria 1 and 7. You must quantify the isomers per
Section 9.0 of Method 23. [Note: You may reanalyze the sample aliquot
or split to reduce the number of isomers not meeting identification
criteria 1 or 7 of Section 5.3.2.5.];
(3) For each dioxin/furan (tetra- through octa-chlorinated) isomer
measured in accordance with paragraph (g)(1) and (2) of this section,
multiply the isomer concentration by its corresponding toxic
equivalency factor specified in table 4 of this subpart; and
(4) Sum the products calculated in accordance with paragraph (g)(3)
of this section to obtain the total concentration of dioxins/furans
emitted in terms of toxic equivalency.
(h) Method 22 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7 must be used to
determine compliance with the fugitive ash emission limit in table 2 of
this subpart or tables 6 through 9 of this subpart.
(i) If you have an applicable opacity operating limit, you must
determine compliance with the opacity limit using Method 9 at 40 CFR
part 60, appendix A-4, based on three 1-hour blocks consisting of ten
6-minute average opacity values, unless you are required to install a
continuous opacity monitoring system, consistent with Sec. 60.2710 and
Sec. 60.2730.
(j) You must determine dioxins/furans total mass basis by following
the procedures in paragraphs (j)(1) through (3) of this section:
(1) Measure the concentration of each dioxin/furan tetra- through
octa-chlorinated isomer emitted using EPA Method 23 at 40 CFR part 60,
appendix A-7;
(2) Quantify isomers meeting identification criteria 2, 3, 4, and 5
in Section 5.3.2.5 of Method 23, regardless of whether the isomers meet
identification criteria 1 and 7. You must quantify the isomers per
Section 9.0 of Method 23. (Note: You may reanalyze the sample aliquot
or split to reduce the number of isomers not meeting identification
criteria 1 or 7 of Section 5.3.2.5.); and
(3) Sum the quantities measured in accordance with paragraphs
(j)(1) and (2) of this section to obtain the total concentration of
dioxins/furans emitted in terms of total mass basis.
Sec. 60.2695 How are the performance test data used?
You use results of performance tests to demonstrate compliance with
the emission limitations in table 2 of this subpart or tables 6 through
9 of this subpart.
Model Rule--Initial Compliance Requirements
Sec. 60.2700 How do I demonstrate initial compliance with the amended
emission limitations and establish the operating limits?
You must conduct a performance test, as required under Sec. Sec.
60.2670 and 60.2690, to determine compliance with the emission
limitations in table 2 of this subpart and tables 6 through 9 of this
subpart, to establish compliance with any opacity operating limits in
Sec. 60.2675, to establish the kiln-specific emission limit in Sec.
60.2710(y), as applicable, and to establish operating limits using the
procedures in Sec. 60.2675 or Sec. 60.2680. The performance test must
be conducted using the test methods listed in table 2 of this subpart
and tables 6 through 9 of this subpart and the procedures in Sec.
60.2690. The use of the bypass stack during a performance test shall
invalidate the performance test. You must conduct a performance
evaluation of each continuous monitoring system within 60 days of
installation of the monitoring system.
Sec. 60.2705 By what date must I conduct the initial performance
test?
(a) The initial performance test must be conducted no later than
180 days after your final compliance date. Your final compliance date
is specified in table 1 of this subpart.
(b) If you commence or recommence combusting a solid waste at an
existing combustion unit at any commercial or industrial facility and
you conducted a test consistent with the provisions of this subpart
while combusting the given solid waste within the 6 months preceding
the reintroduction of that solid waste in the combustion chamber, you
do not need to retest until 6 months from the date you reintroduce that
solid waste.
(c) If you commence or recommence combusting a solid waste at an
existing combustion unit at any commercial or industrial facility and
you have not conducted a performance test consistent with the
provisions of this subpart while combusting the given solid waste
within the 6 months preceding the reintroduction of that solid waste in
the combustion chamber, you must conduct a performance test within 60
days from the date you reintroduce solid waste.
Sec. 60.2706 By what date must I conduct the initial air pollution
control device inspection?
(a) The initial air pollution control device inspection must be
conducted within 60 days after installation of the control device and
the associated CISWI unit reaches the charge rate at which it will
operate, but no later than 180 days after the final compliance date for
meeting the amended emission limitations.
(b) Within 10 operating days following an air pollution control
device inspection, all necessary repairs must be completed unless the
owner or operator obtains written approval from the state agency
establishing a date whereby all necessary repairs of the designated
facility must be completed.
Model Rule--Continuous Compliance Requirements
Sec. 60.2710 How do I demonstrate continuous compliance with the
amended emission limitations and the operating limits?
(a) Compliance with standards. (1) The emission standards and
operating requirements set forth in this subpart apply at all times.
(2) If you cease combusting solid waste you may opt to remain
subject to the provisions of this subpart. Consistent with the
definition of CISWI unit, you are subject to the requirements of this
subpart at least 6 months following the last date of solid waste
combustion. Solid waste combustion is ceased when solid waste is not in
the combustion chamber (i.e., the solid waste feed to the combustor has
been cut off for a period of time not less than the solid waste
residence time).
(3) If you cease combusting solid waste you must be in compliance
with any newly applicable standards on the effective date of the waste-
to-fuel switch. The effective date of the waste-to-fuel switch is a
date selected by you, that must be at least 6 months from the date that
you ceased combusting solid waste, consistent with Sec. 60.2710(a)(2).
Your source must remain in compliance
[[Page 41011]]
with this subpart until the effective date of the waste-to-fuel switch.
(4) If you own or operate an existing commercial or industrial
combustion unit that combusted a fuel or non-waste material, and you
commence or recommence combustion of solid waste, you are subject to
the provisions of this subpart as of the first day you introduce or
reintroduce solid waste to the combustion chamber, and this date
constitutes the effective date of the fuel-to-waste switch. You must
complete all initial compliance demonstrations for any Section 112
standards that are applicable to your facility before you commence or
recommence combustion of solid waste. You must provide 30 days prior
notice of the effective date of the waste-to-fuel switch. The
notification must identify:
(i) The name of the owner or operator of the CISWI unit, the
location of the source, the emissions unit(s) that will cease burning
solid waste, and the date of the notice;
(ii) The currently applicable subcategory under this subpart, and
any 40 CFR part 63 subpart and subcategory that will be applicable
after you cease combusting solid waste;
(iii) The fuel(s), non-waste material(s) and solid waste(s) the
CISWI unit is currently combusting and has combusted over the past 6
months, and the fuel(s) or non-waste materials the unit will commence
combusting;
(iv) The date on which you became subject to the currently
applicable emission limits;
(v) The date upon which you will cease combusting solid waste, and
the date (if different) that you intend for any new requirements to
become applicable (i.e., the effective date of the waste-to-fuel
switch), consistent with paragraphs (a)(2) and (3) of this section.
(5) All air pollution control equipment necessary for compliance
with any newly applicable emissions limits which apply as a result of
the cessation or commencement or recommencement of combusting solid
waste must be installed and operational as of the effective date of the
waste-to-fuel, or fuel-to-waste switch.
(6) All monitoring systems necessary for compliance with any newly
applicable monitoring requirements which apply as a result of the
cessation or commencement or recommencement of combusting solid waste
must be installed and operational as of the effective date of the
waste-to-fuel, or fuel-to-waste switch. All calibration and drift
checks must be performed as of the effective date of the waste-to-fuel,
or fuel-to-waste switch. Relative accuracy tests must be performed as
of the performance test deadline for PM CEMS (if PM CEMS are elected to
demonstrate continuous compliance with the particulate matter emission
limits). Relative accuracy testing for other CEMS need not be repeated
if that testing was previously performed consistent with section 112
monitoring requirements or monitoring requirements under this subpart.
(b) You must conduct an annual performance test for the pollutants
listed in table 2 of this subpart or tables 6 through 9 of this subpart
and opacity for each CISWI unit as required under Sec. 60.2690. The
annual performance test must be conducted using the test methods listed
in table 2 of this subpart or tables 6 through 9 of this subpart and
the procedures in Sec. 60.2690. Opacity must be measured using EPA
Reference Method 9 at 40 CFR part 60. Annual performance tests are not
required if you use CEMS or continuous opacity monitoring systems to
determine compliance.
(c) You must continuously monitor the operating parameters
specified in Sec. 60.2675 or established under Sec. 60.2680 and as
specified in Sec. 60.2735. Operation above the established maximum or
below the established minimum operating limits constitutes a deviation
from the established operating limits. Three-hour block average values
are used to determine compliance (except for baghouse leak detection
system alarms) unless a different averaging period is established under
Sec. 60.2680 or, for energy recovery units, where the averaging time
for each operating parameter is a 30-day rolling, calculated each hour
as the average of the previous 720 operating hours over the previous 30
days of operation. Operation above the established maximum, below the
established minimum, or outside the allowable range of the operating
limits specified in paragraph (a) of this section constitutes a
deviation from your operating limits established under this subpart,
except during performance tests conducted to determine compliance with
the emission and operating limits or to establish new operating limits.
Operating limits are confirmed or reestablished during performance
tests.
(d) You must burn only the same types of waste and fuels used to
establish subcategory applicability (for ERUs) and operating limits
during the performance test.
(e) For energy recovery units, incinerators, and small remote
units, you must perform annual visual emissions test for ash handling.
(f) For energy recovery units, you must conduct an annual
performance test for opacity using EPA Reference Method 9 at 40 CFR
part 60 (except where particulate matter continuous monitoring system
or continuous parameter monitoring systems are used) and the pollutants
listed in table 7 of this subpart.
(g) For facilities using a CEMS to demonstrate compliance with the
carbon monoxide emission limit, compliance with the carbon monoxide
emission limit may be demonstrated by using the CEMS according to the
following requirements:
(1) You must measure emissions according to Sec. 60.13 to
calculate 1-hour arithmetic averages, corrected to 7 percent oxygen.
CEMS data during startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart, are
not corrected to 7 percent oxygen, and are measured at stack oxygen
content. You must demonstrate initial compliance with the carbon
monoxide emissions limit using a 30-day rolling average of the 1-hour
arithmetic average emission concentrations, including CEMS data during
startup and shutdown as defined in this subpart, calculated using
equation 19-19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA Reference Method 19 at 40 CFR
part 60, appendix A-7.
(2) Operate the carbon monoxide continuous emissions monitoring
system in accordance with the applicable requirements of performance
specification 4A of appendix B and the quality assurance procedures of
appendix F of this part.
(h) Coal and liquid/gas energy recovery units with annual average
heat input rates greater than 250 MMBtu/hr may elect to demonstrate
continuous compliance with the particulate matter emissions limit using
a particulate matter CEMS according to the procedures in Sec.
60.2730(n) instead of the continuous parameter monitoring system
specified in Sec. 60.2710(i). Coal and liquid/gas energy recovery
units with annual average heat input rates less than 250 MMBtu/hr,
incinerators, and small remote incinerators may also elect to
demonstrate compliance using a particulate matter CEMS according to the
procedures in Sec. 60.2730(n) instead of particulate matter testing
with EPA Method 5 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-3 and, if applicable,
the continuous opacity monitoring requirements in paragraph (i) of this
section.
(i) For energy recovery units with annual average heat input rates
greater than or equal to 10 MMBTU/hour but less than 250 MMBtu/hr you
must install, operate, certify and maintain a continuous opacity
monitoring system (COMS) according to the procedures in Sec. 60.2730.
[[Page 41012]]
(j) For waste-burning kilns, you must conduct an annual performance
test for the pollutants (except mercury and particulate matter, and
hydrogen chloride if no acid gas wet scrubber is used) listed in table
8 of this subpart. If you do not use an acid gas wet scrubber or dry
scrubber, you must determine compliance with the hydrogen chloride
emissions limit according to the requirements in paragraph (j)(1) of
this section. You must determine compliance with the mercury emissions
limit using a mercury CEMS according to paragraph (j)(2) of this
section. You must determine compliance with particulate matter using
CPMS:
(1) If you monitor compliance with the HCl emissions limit by
operating an HCl CEMS, you must do so in accordance with Performance
Specification 15 (PS 15) of appendix B to 40 CFR part 60, or, PS 18 of
appendix B to 40 CFR part 60. You must operate, maintain, and quality
assure a HCl CEMS installed and certified under PS 15 according to the
quality assurance requirements in Procedure 1 of appendix F to 40 CFR
part 60 except that the Relative Accuracy Test Audit requirements of
Procedure 1 must be replaced with the validation requirements and
criteria of sections 11.1.1 and 12.0 of PS 15. You must operate,
maintain and quality assure a HCl CEMS installed and certified under PS
18 according to the quality assurance requirements in Procedure 6 of
appendix F to 40 CFR part 60. For any performance specification that
you use, you must use Method 321 of appendix A to 40 CFR part 63 as the
reference test method for conducting relative accuracy testing. The
span value and calibration requirements in paragraphs (j)(1)(i) and
(ii) of this section apply to all HCl CEMS used under this subpart:
(i) You must use a measurement span value for any HCl CEMS of 0-10
ppmvw unless the monitor is installed on a kiln without an inline raw
mill. Kilns without an inline raw mill may use a higher span value
sufficient to quantify all expected emissions concentrations. The HCl
CEMS data recorder output range must include the full range of expected
HCl concentration values which would include those expected during
``mill off'' conditions. The corresponding data recorder range shall be
documented in the site-specific monitoring plan and associated records;
and
(ii) In order to quality assure data measured above the span value,
you must use one of the three options in paragraphs (j)(1)(ii)(A)
through (C) of this section:
(A) Include a second span that encompasses the HCl emission
concentrations expected to be encountered during ``mill off''
conditions. This second span may be rounded to a multiple of 5 ppm of
total HCl. The requirements of the appropriate HCl monitor performance
specification shall be followed for this second span with the exception
that a RATA with the mill off is not required;
(B) Quality assure any data above the span value by proving
instrument linearity beyond the span value established in paragraph
(j)(1)(i) of this section using the following procedure. Conduct a
weekly ``above span linearity'' calibration challenge of the monitoring
system using a reference gas with a certified value greater than your
highest expected hourly concentration or greater than 75% of the
highest measured hourly concentration. The ``above span'' reference gas
must meet the requirements of the applicable performance specification
and must be introduced to the measurement system at the probe. Record
and report the results of this procedure as you would for a daily
calibration. The ``above span linearity'' challenge is successful if
the value measured by the HCl CEMS falls within 10 percent of the
certified value of the reference gas. If the value measured by the HCl
CEMS during the above span linearity challenge exceeds 10 percent of
the certified value of the reference gas, the monitoring system must be
evaluated and repaired and a new ``above span linearity'' challenge met
before returning the HCl CEMS to service, or data above span from the
HCl CEMS must be subject to the quality assurance procedures
established in (j)(1)(ii)(D) of this section. In this manner values
measured by the HCl CEMS during the above span linearity challenge
exceeding +/-20 percent of the certified value of the reference gas
must be normalized using equation 6;
(C) Quality assure any data above the span value established in
paragraph (j)(1)(i) of this section using the following procedure. Any
time two consecutive one-hour average measured concentration of HCl
exceeds the span value you must, within 24 hours before or after,
introduce a higher, ``above span'' HCl reference gas standard to the
HCl CEMS. The ``above span'' reference gas must meet the requirements
of the applicable performance specification and target a concentration
level between 50 and 150 percent of the highest expected hourly
concentration measured during the period of measurements above span,
and must be introduced at the probe. While this target represents a
desired concentration range that is not always achievable in practice,
it is expected that the intent to meet this range is demonstrated by
the value of the reference gas. Expected values may include above span
calibrations done before or after the above-span measurement period.
Record and report the results of this procedure as you would for a
daily calibration. The ``above span'' calibration is successful if the
value measured by the HCl CEMS is within 20 percent of the certified
value of the reference gas. If the value measured by the HCl CEMS is
not within 20 percent of the certified value of the reference gas, then
you must normalize the stack gas values measured above span as
described in paragraph (j)(1)(ii)(D) of this section. If the ``above
span'' calibration is conducted during the period when measured
emissions are above span and there is a failure to collect the one data
point in an hour due to the calibration duration, then you must
determine the emissions average for that missed hour as the average of
hourly averages for the hour preceding the missed hour and the hour
following the missed hour. In an hour where an ``above span''
calibration is being conducted and one or more data points are
collected, the emissions average is represented by the average of all
valid data points collected in that hour; and
(D) In the event that the ``above span'' calibration is not
successful (i.e., the HCl CEMS measured value is not within 20 percent
of the certified value of the reference gas), then you must normalize
the one-hour average stack gas values measured above the span during
the 24-hour period preceding or following the ``above span''
calibration for reporting based on the HCl CEMS response to the
reference gas as shown in equation 6:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.013
Only one ``above span'' calibration is needed per 24-hour period.

(s) For facilities using a CEMS to demonstrate compliance with the
sulfur dioxide emission limit, compliance with the sulfur dioxide
emission limit may be demonstrated by using the CEMS specified in Sec.
60.2730 to measure sulfur dioxide. CEMS data during startup and
shutdown, as defined in this subpart, are not corrected to 7 percent
oxygen, and are measured at stack oxygen content. You must calculate a
30-day rolling average of the 1-hour arithmetic average emission
concentrations, including CEMS data during startup and shutdown as
defined in this subpart, using equation 19-19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA
Reference Method 19 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7. The sulfur dioxide
CEMS must be operated according to performance specification 2 in
appendix B of this part and must follow the procedures and methods
specified in paragraph (s) of this section. For sources that have
actual inlet emissions less than 100 parts per million dry volume, the
relative accuracy criterion for inlet sulfur dioxide CEMS should be no
greater than 20 percent of the mean value of the reference method test
data in terms of the units of the emission standard, or 5 parts per
million dry volume absolute value of the mean difference between the
reference method and the CEMS, whichever is greater:
(1) During each relative accuracy test run of the CEMS required by
performance specification 2 in appendix B of this part, collect sulfur
dioxide and oxygen (or carbon dioxide) data concurrently (or within a
30- to 60-minute period) with both the CEMS and the test methods
specified in paragraphs (s)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section:
(i) For sulfur dioxide, EPA Reference Method 6 or 6C, or as an
alternative ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981 (incorporated by reference, see
Sec. 60.17) must be used; and
(ii) For oxygen (or carbon dioxide), EPA Reference Method 3A or 3B,
or as an alternative ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981 (incorporated by
reference, see Sec. 60.17), as applicable, must be used.
(2) The span value of the CEMS at the inlet to the sulfur dioxide
control device must be 125 percent of the maximum estimated hourly
potential sulfur dioxide emissions of the unit subject to this subpart.
The span value of the CEMS at the outlet of the sulfur dioxide control

specified in Sec. 60.2730 to measure nitrogen oxides. CEMS data during
startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart, are not corrected to
7 percent oxygen, and are measured at stack oxygen content. You must
calculate a 30-day rolling average of the 1-hour arithmetic average
emission concentration using equation 19-19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA
Reference Method 19 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7. The nitrogen
oxides CEMS must be operated according to performance specification 2
in appendix B of this part and must follow the procedures and methods
specified in paragraphs (t)(1) through (4) of this section:
(1) During each relative accuracy test run of the CEMS required by
performance specification 2 of appendix B of this part, collect
nitrogen oxides and oxygen (or carbon dioxide) data concurrently (or
within a 30- to 60-minute period) with both the CEMS and the test
methods specified in paragraphs (t)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section:
(i) For nitrogen oxides, EPA Reference Method 7 or 7E at 40 CFR
part 60, appendix A-4 must be used; and
(ii) For oxygen (or carbon dioxide), EPA Reference Method 3A or 3B,
or as an alternative ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981 (incorporated by
reference, see Sec. 60.17), as applicable, must be used.
(2) The span value of the CEMS must be 125 percent of the maximum
estimated hourly potential nitrogen oxide emissions of unit.
(3) Conduct accuracy determinations quarterly and calibration drift
tests daily in accordance with procedure 1 in appendix F of this part.
(4) The owner or operator of an affected facility may request that
compliance with the nitrogen oxides emission limit be determined using
carbon dioxide measurements corrected to an equivalent of 7 percent
oxygen. If carbon dioxide is selected for use in diluent corrections,
the relationship between oxygen and carbon dioxide levels must be
established during the initial performance test according to the
procedures and methods specified in paragraphs (t)(4)(i) through (iv)
of this section. This relationship may be reestablished during
performance compliance tests:
(i) The fuel factor equation in Method 3B must be used to determine
the relationship between oxygen and carbon dioxide at a sampling
location. Method 3A, 3B, or as an alternative ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981
(incorporated by reference, see Sec. 60.17), as applicable, must be
used to determine the oxygen concentration at the same location as the
carbon dioxide monitor;
(ii) Samples must be taken for at least 30 minutes in each hour;
(iii) Each sample must represent a 1-hour average; and
(iv) A minimum of 3 runs must be performed.

using a 30-day rolling average of 1-hour arithmetic average emission
concentrations, including CEMS data during startup and shutdown, as
defined in this subpart, calculated using equation 19-19 in section
12.4.1 of EPA Reference Method 19 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7. CEMS

greater than or equal to 250 MMBtu/hour and waste-burning kilns, you
must install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a PM CPMS and record the
output of the system as specified in paragraphs (x)(1) through (8) of
this section. For other energy recovery units, you may elect to use PM
CPMS operated in accordance with this section. PM CPMS are suitable in
lieu of using other CMS for monitoring PM compliance (e.g., bag leak
detectors, ESP secondary power, PM scrubber pressure):
(1) Install, calibrate, operate, and maintain your PM CPMS
according to the procedures in your approved site-specific monitoring
plan developed in accordance with paragraphs (l) and (x)(1)(i) through
(iii) of this section:
(i) The operating principle of the PM CPMS must be based on in-
stack or extractive light scatter, light scintillation, beta
attenuation, or mass accumulation of the exhaust gas or representative
sample. The reportable measurement output from the PM CPMS must be
expressed as milliamps or the digital signal equivalent;
(ii) The PM CPMS must have a cycle time (i.e., period required to
complete sampling, measurement, and reporting for each measurement) no
longer than 60 minutes; and
(iii) The PM CPMS must be capable of detecting and responding to
particulate matter concentrations increments no greater than 0.5 mg/
actual cubic meter.
(2) During the initial performance test or any such subsequent
performance test that demonstrates compliance with the PM limit, you
must adjust the site-specific operating limit in accordance with the
results of the performance test according to the procedures specified
in Sec. 60.2675.
(3) Collect PM CPMS hourly average output data for all energy
recovery unit or waste-burning kiln operating hours. Express the PM
CPMS output as milliamps or the digital signal equivalent.
(4) Calculate the arithmetic 30-day rolling average of all of the
hourly average PM CPMS output collected during all energy recovery unit
or waste-burning kiln operating hours data (milliamps or their digital
equivalent).
(5) You must collect data using the PM CPMS at all times the energy
recovery unit or waste-burning kiln is operating and at the intervals
specified in paragraph (x)(1)(ii) of this section, except for periods
of monitoring system malfunctions, repairs associated with monitoring
system malfunctions, required monitoring system quality assurance or
quality control activities (including, as applicable, calibration
checks and required zero and span adjustments), and any scheduled
maintenance as defined in your site-specific monitoring plan.
(6) You must use all the data collected during all energy recovery
unit or waste-burning kiln operating hours in assessing the compliance
with your operating limit except:
(i) Any data collected during monitoring system malfunctions,
repairs associated with monitoring system malfunctions, or required
monitoring system quality assurance or quality control activities
conducted during monitoring system malfunctions are not used in
calculations (report any such periods in your annual deviation report);
(ii) Any data collected during periods when the monitoring system
is out of control as specified in your site-specific monitoring plan,
repairs associated with periods when the monitoring system is out of
control, or required monitoring system quality assurance or quality
control activities conducted during out-of-control periods are not used
in calculations (report emissions or operating levels and report any
such periods in your annual deviation report);
(iii) Any PM CPMS data recorded during periods of CEMS data during
startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart.
(7) You must record and make available upon request results of PM
CPMS system performance audits, as well as the dates and duration of
periods from when the PM CPMS is out of control until completion of the
corrective actions necessary to return the PM CPMS to operation
consistent with your site-specific monitoring plan.
(8) For any deviation of the 30-day rolling average PM CPMS average
value from the established operating parameter limit, you must:
(i) Within 48 hours of the deviation, visually inspect the air
pollution control device;
(ii) If inspection of the air pollution control device identifies
the cause of the deviation, take corrective action as soon as possible
and return the PM CPMS measurement to within the established value;
(iii) Within 30 days of the deviation or at the time of the annual
compliance test, whichever comes first, conduct a PM emissions
compliance test to determine compliance with the PM emissions limit and
to verify. Within 45 days of the deviation, you must re-establish the
CPMS operating limit. You are not required to conduct additional
testing for any deviations that occur between the time of the original
deviation and the PM emissions compliance test required under paragraph
(x) of this section; and
(iv) PM CPMS deviations leading to more than four required
performance tests in a 12-month process operating period (rolling
monthly) constitute a violation of this subpart.
(y) When there is an alkali bypass and/or an in-line coal mill that
exhaust emissions through a separate stack(s), the combined emissions
are subject to
[[Page 41016]]
the emission limits applicable to waste-burning kilns. To determine the
kiln-specific emission limit for demonstrating compliance, you must:
(1) Calculate a kiln-specific emission limit using equation 7:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR23JN16.014
Where:
Cks = Kiln stack concentration (ppmvd, mg/dscm, ng/dscm,
depending on pollutant. Each corrected to 7% O2.)
Qab = Alkali bypass flow rate (volume/hr)
Cab = Alkali bypass concentration (ppmvd, mg/dscm, ng/
dscm, depending on pollutant. Each corrected to 7% O2.)
Qcm = In-line coal mill flow rate (volume/hr)
Ccm = In-line coal mill concentration (ppmvd, mg/dscm,
ng/dscm, depending on pollutant. Each corrected to 7%
O2.)
Qks = Kiln stack flow rate (volume/hr)
(2) Particulate matter concentration must be measured downstream of
the in-line coal mill. All other pollutant concentrations must be
measured either upstream or downstream of the in-line coal mill.
(3) For purposes of determining the combined emissions from kilns
equipped with an alkali bypass or that exhaust kiln gases to a coal
mill that exhausts through a separate stack, instead of installing a
CEMS or PM CPMS on the alkali bypass stack or in-line coal mill stack,
the results of the initial and subsequent performance test can be used
to demonstrate compliance with the relevant emissions limit. A
performance test must be conducted on an annual basis (between 11 and
13 calendar months following the previous performance test).
Sec. 60.2715 By what date must I conduct the annual performance test?
You must conduct annual performance tests between 11 and 13 months
of the previous performance test.
Sec. 60.2716 By what date must I conduct the annual air pollution
control device inspection?
On an annual basis (no more than 12 months following the previous
annual air pollution control device inspection), you must complete the
air pollution control device inspection as described in Sec. 60.2706.
Sec. 60.2720 May I conduct performance testing less often?

(1) You may conduct a repeat performance test at any time to
establish new values for the operating limits to apply from that point
forward, as specified in Sec. 60.2725. The Administrator may request a
repeat performance test at any time;
(2) You must repeat the performance test within 60 days of a
process change, as defined in Sec. 60.2875; and
(3) If the initial or any subsequent performance test for any
pollutant in table 2 or tables 6 through 9 of this subpart, as
applicable, demonstrates that the emission level for the pollutant is
no greater than the emission level specified in paragraph (a)(3)(i) or
(a)(3)(ii) of this section, as applicable, and you are not required to
conduct a performance test for the pollutant in response to a request
by the Administrator in paragraph (a)(1) of this section or a process
change in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, you may elect to skip
conducting a performance test for the pollutant for the next 2 years.
You must conduct a performance test for the pollutant during the third
year and no more than 37 months following the previous performance test
for the pollutant. For cadmium and lead, both cadmium and lead must be
emitted at emission levels no greater than their respective emission
levels specified in paragraph (a)(3)(i) of this section for you to
qualify for less frequent testing under paragraph (a) of this section:
(i) For particulate matter, hydrogen chloride, mercury, carbon
monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, cadmium, lead, and dioxins/
furans, the emission level equal to 75 percent of the applicable

provided in paragraph (a)(3) of this section and a subsequent
performance test for the pollutant indicates that your CISWI unit does
not meet the emission level specified in paragraph (a)(3)(i) or
(a)(3)(ii) of this section, as applicable, you must conduct annual
performance tests for the pollutant according to the schedule specified
in paragraph (a) of this section until you qualify for less frequent
testing for the pollutant as specified in paragraph (a)(3) of this
section.
(b) [Reserved]
Sec. 60.2725 May I conduct a repeat performance test to establish new
operating limits?
(a) Yes. You may conduct a repeat performance test at any time to
establish new values for the operating limits. The Administrator may
request a repeat performance test at any time.
(b) You must repeat the performance test if your feed stream is
different than the feed streams used during any performance test used
to demonstrate compliance.
Model Rule--Monitoring
Sec. 60.2730 What monitoring equipment must I install and what
parameters must I monitor?
(a) If you are using a wet scrubber to comply with the emission
limitation under Sec. 60.2670, you must install, calibrate (to
manufacturers' specifications), maintain, and operate devices (or
establish methods) for monitoring the value of the operating parameters
used to determine compliance with the operating limits listed in table
3 of this subpart. These devices (or methods) must measure and record
the values for these operating parameters at the frequencies indicated
in table 3 of this subpart at all times except as specified in Sec.
60.2735(a).
(b) If you use a fabric filter to comply with the requirements of
this subpart and you do not use a PM CPMS for monitoring PM compliance,
you must install, calibrate, maintain, and continuously operate a bag
leak detection system as specified in paragraphs (b)(1) through (8) of
this section:
(1) You must install and operate a bag leak detection system for
each exhaust stack of the fabric filter;
(2) Each bag leak detection system must be installed, operated,
calibrated, and maintained in a manner consistent with the
manufacturer's written specifications and recommendations;
(3) The bag leak detection system must be certified by the
manufacturer to be capable of detecting particulate matter emissions at
concentrations of 10 milligrams per actual cubic meter or less;
(4) The bag leak detection system sensor must provide output of
relative or absolute particulate matter loadings;
[[Page 41017]]
(5) The bag leak detection system must be equipped with a device to
continuously record the output signal from the sensor;
(6) The bag leak detection system must be equipped with an alarm
system that will alert automatically an operator when an increase in
relative particulate matter emission over a preset level is detected.
The alarm must be located where it is observed easily by plant
operating personnel;
(7) For positive pressure fabric filter systems, a bag leak
detection system must be installed in each baghouse compartment or
cell. For negative pressure or induced air fabric filters, the bag leak
detector must be installed downstream of the fabric filter; and
(8) Where multiple detectors are required, the system's
instrumentation and alarm may be shared among detectors.
(c) If you are using something other than a wet scrubber, activated
carbon, selective non-catalytic reduction, an electrostatic
precipitator, or a dry scrubber to comply with the emission limitations
under Sec. 60.2670, you must install, calibrate (to the manufacturers'
specifications), maintain, and operate the equipment necessary to
monitor compliance with the site-specific operating limits established
using the procedures in Sec. 60.2680.
(d) If you use activated carbon injection to comply with the
emission limitations in this subpart, you must measure the minimum
sorbent flow rate once per hour.
(e) If you use selective noncatalytic reduction to comply with the
emission limitations, you must complete the following:
(1) Following the date on which the initial performance test is
completed or is required to be completed under Sec. 60.2690, whichever
date comes first, ensure that the affected facility does not operate
above the maximum charge rate, or below the minimum secondary chamber
temperature (if applicable to your CISWI unit) or the minimum reagent
flow rate measured as 3-hour block averages at all times; and
(2) Operation of the affected facility above the maximum charge
rate, below the minimum secondary chamber temperature and below the
minimum reagent flow rate simultaneously constitute a violation of the
nitrogen oxides emissions limit.
(f) If you use an electrostatic precipitator to comply with the
emission limits of this subpart and you do not use a PM CPMS for
monitoring PM compliance, you must monitor the secondary power to the
electrostatic precipitator collection plates and maintain the 3-hour
block averages at or above the operating limits established during the
mercury or particulate matter performance test.
(g) For waste-burning kilns not equipped with a wet scrubber or dry
scrubber, in place of hydrogen chloride testing with EPA Method 321 at
40 CFR part 63, appendix A, an owner or operator must install,
calibrate, maintain, and operate a CEMS for monitoring hydrogen
chloride emissions, as specified in Sec. 60.2710(j), discharged to the
atmosphere and record the output of the system. To demonstrate
continuous compliance with the hydrogen chloride emissions limit for
units other than waste-burning kilns not equipped with a wet scrubber
or dry scrubber, a facility may substitute use of a hydrogen chloride
CEMS for conducting the hydrogen chloride annual performance test,
monitoring the minimum hydrogen chloride sorbent flow rate, monitoring
the minimum scrubber liquor pH.
(h) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the particulate
matter emissions limit, a facility may substitute use of either a
particulate matter CEMS or a particulate matter CPMS for conducting the
particulate matter annual performance test and other CMS monitoring for
PM compliance (e.g., bag leak detectors, ESP secondary power, PM
scrubber pressure).
(i) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the dioxin/furan
emissions limit, a facility may substitute use of a continuous
automated sampling system for the dioxin/furan annual performance test.
You must record the output of the system and analyze the sample
according to EPA Method 23 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7. This option
to use a continuous automated sampling system takes effect on the date
a final performance specification applicable to dioxin/furan from
continuous monitors is published in the Federal Register. The owner or
operator who elects to continuously sample dioxin/furan emissions
instead of sampling and testing using EPA Method 23 at 40 CFR part 60,
appendix A-7 must install, calibrate, maintain and operate a continuous
automated sampling system and must comply with the requirements
specified in Sec. 60.58b(p) and (q). A facility may substitute
continuous dioxin/furan monitoring for the minimum sorbent flow rate,
if activated carbon sorbent injection is used solely for compliance
with the dioxin/furan emission limit.
(j) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the mercury emissions
limit, a facility may substitute use of a continuous automated sampling
system for the mercury annual performance test. You must record the
output of the system and analyze the sample at set intervals using any
suitable determinative technique that can meet performance
specification 12B criteria. This option to use a continuous automated
sampling system takes effect on the date a final performance
specification applicable to mercury from monitors is published in the
Federal Register. The owner or operator who elects to continuously
sample mercury emissions instead of sampling and testing using EPA
Method 29 or 30B at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-8, ASTM D6784-02
(Reapproved 2008) (incorporated by reference, see Sec. 60.17), or an
approved alternative method for measuring mercury emissions, must
install, calibrate, maintain and operate a continuous automated
sampling system and must comply with the requirements specified in
Sec. 60.58b(p) and (q). A facility may substitute continuous mercury
monitoring for the minimum sorbent flow rate, if activated carbon
sorbent injection is used solely for compliance with the mercury
emission limit. Waste-burning kilns must install, calibrate, maintain,
and operate a mercury CEMS as specified in Sec. 60.2710(j).
(k) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the nitrogen oxides
emissions limit, a facility may substitute use of a CEMS for the
nitrogen oxides annual performance test to demonstrate compliance with
the nitrogen oxides emissions limits and monitoring the charge rate,
secondary chamber temperature and reagent flow for selective
noncatalytic reduction, if applicable:
(1) Install, calibrate, maintain and operate a CEMS for measuring
nitrogen oxides emissions discharged to the atmosphere and record the
output of the system. The requirements under performance specification
2 of appendix B of this part, the quality assurance procedure 1 of
appendix F of this part and the procedures under Sec. 60.13 must be
followed for installation, evaluation and operation of the CEMS; and
(2) Following the date that the initial performance test for
nitrogen oxides is completed or is required to be completed under Sec.
60.2690, compliance with the emission limit for nitrogen oxides
required under Sec. 60.52b(d) must be determined based on the 30-day
rolling average of the hourly emission concentrations using CEMS outlet
data. The 1-hour arithmetic averages must be expressed in parts per
million by volume corrected to 7 percent oxygen (dry basis) and used to
calculate the 30-day rolling average concentrations.
[[Page 41018]]
CEMS data during startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart, are
not corrected to 7 percent oxygen, and are measured at stack oxygen
content. The 1-hour arithmetic averages must be calculated using the
data points required under Sec. 60.13(e)(2).
(l) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the sulfur dioxide
emissions limit, a facility may substitute use of a continuous
automated sampling system for the sulfur dioxide annual performance
test to demonstrate compliance with the sulfur dioxide emissions
limits:
(1) Install, calibrate, maintain and operate a CEMS for measuring
sulfur dioxide emissions discharged to the atmosphere and record the
output of the system. The requirements under performance specification
2 of appendix B of this part, the quality assurance requirements of
procedure 1 of appendix F of this part and the procedures under Sec.
60.13 must be followed for installation, evaluation and operation of
the CEMS; and
(2) Following the date that the initial performance test for sulfur
dioxide is completed or is required to be completed under Sec.
60.2690, compliance with the sulfur dioxide emission limit may be
determined based on the 30-day rolling average of the hourly arithmetic
average emission concentrations using CEMS outlet data. The 1-hour
arithmetic averages must be expressed in parts per million corrected to
7 percent oxygen (dry basis) and used to calculate the 30-day rolling
average emission concentrations. CEMS data during startup and shutdown,
as defined in this subpart, are not corrected to 7 percent oxygen, and
are measured at stack oxygen content. The 1-hour arithmetic averages
must be calculated using the data points required under Sec.
60.13(e)(2).
(m) For energy recovery units over 10 MMBtu/hr but less than 250
MMBtu/hr annual average heat input rates that do not use a wet
scrubber, fabric filter with bag leak detection system, or particulate
matter CEMS, you must install, operate, certify and maintain a
continuous opacity monitoring system according to the procedures in
paragraphs (m)(1) through (5) of this section by the compliance date
specified in Sec. 60.2670. Energy recovery units that use a
particulate matter CEMS to demonstrate initial and continuing
compliance according to the procedures in Sec. 60.2730(n) are not
required to install a continuous opacity monitoring system and must
perform the annual performance tests for opacity consistent with Sec.
60.2710(f):
(1) Install, operate and maintain each continuous opacity
monitoring system according to performance specification 1 at 40 CFR
part 60, appendix B;
(2) Conduct a performance evaluation of each continuous opacity
monitoring system according to the requirements in Sec. 60.13 and
according to performance specification 1 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix B;
(3) As specified in Sec. 60.13(e)(1), each continuous opacity
monitoring system must complete a minimum of one cycle of sampling and
analyzing for each successive 10-second period and one cycle of data
recording for each successive 6-minute period;
(4) Reduce the continuous opacity monitoring system data as
specified in Sec. 60.13(h)(1); and
(5) Determine and record all the 6-minute averages (and 1-hour
block averages as applicable) collected.
(n) For coal and liquid/gas energy recovery units, incinerators,
and small remote incinerators, an owner or operator may elect to
install, calibrate, maintain and operate a CEMS for monitoring
particulate matter emissions discharged to the atmosphere and record
the output of the system. The owner or operator of an affected facility
who continuously monitors particulate matter emissions instead of
conducting performance testing using EPA Method 5 at 40 CFR part 60,
appendix A-3 or, as applicable, monitor with a particulate matter CPMS
according to paragraph (r) of this section, must install, calibrate,
maintain and operate a CEMS and must comply with the requirements
specified in paragraphs (n)(1) through (13) of this section:
(1) Notify the Administrator 1 month before starting use of the
system;
(2) Notify the Administrator 1 month before stopping use of the
system;
(3) The monitor must be installed, evaluated and operated in
accordance with the requirements of performance specification 11 of
appendix B of this part and quality assurance requirements of procedure
2 of appendix F of this part and Sec. 60.13;
(4) The initial performance evaluation must be completed no later
than 180 days after the final compliance date for meeting the amended
emission limitations, as specified under Sec. 60.2690 or within 180
days of notification to the Administrator of use of the continuous
monitoring system if the owner or operator was previously determining
compliance by Method 5 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-3 performance
tests, whichever is later;
(5) The owner or operator of an affected facility may request that
compliance with the particulate matter emission limit be determined
using carbon dioxide measurements corrected to an equivalent of 7
percent oxygen. The relationship between oxygen and carbon dioxide
levels for the affected facility must be established according to the
procedures and methods specified in Sec. 60.2710(t)(4)(i) through
(iv);
(6) The owner or operator of an affected facility must conduct an
initial performance test for particulate matter emissions as required
under Sec. 60.2690. Compliance with the particulate matter emission
limit, if PM CEMS are elected for demonstrating compliance, must be
determined by using the CEMS specified in paragraph (n) of this section
to measure particulate matter. You must calculate a 30-day rolling
average of 1-hour arithmetic average emission concentrations, including
CEMS data during startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart,
using equation 19-19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA Reference Method 19 at 40
CFR part 60, appendix A-7 of this part;
(7) Compliance with the particulate matter emission limit must be
determined based on the 30-day rolling average calculated using
equation 19-19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA Reference Method 19 at 40 CFR
part 60, Appendix A-7 of the part from the 1-hour arithmetic average of
the CEMS outlet data.
(8) At a minimum, valid continuous monitoring system hourly
averages must be obtained as specified Sec. 60.2735;
(9) The 1-hour arithmetic averages required under paragraph (n)(7)
of this section must be expressed in milligrams per dry standard cubic
meter corrected to 7 percent oxygen (or carbon dioxide) (dry basis) and
must be used to calculate the 30-day rolling average emission
concentrations. CEMS data during startup and shutdown, as defined in
this subpart, are not corrected to 7 percent oxygen, and are measured
at stack oxygen content. The 1-hour arithmetic averages must be
calculated using the data points required under Sec. 60.13(e)(2);
(10) All valid CEMS data must be used in calculating average
emission concentrations even if the minimum CEMS data requirements of
paragraph (n)(8) of this section are not met;
(11) The CEMS must be operated according to performance
specification 11 in appendix B of this part;
(12) During each relative accuracy test run of the CEMS required by
performance specification 11 in appendix B of this part, particulate
matter and oxygen (or carbon dioxide) data must be collected
concurrently (or within a 30-to 60-minute period) by both the CEMS and
the following test methods:
[[Page 41019]]
(i) For particulate matter, EPA Reference Method 5 at 40 CFR part
60, appendix A-3 must be used; and
(ii) For oxygen (or carbon dioxide), EPA Reference Method 3A or 3B
at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-2, as applicable, must be used; and
(13) Quarterly accuracy determinations and daily calibration drift
tests must be performed in accordance with procedure 2 in appendix F of
this part.
(o) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the carbon monoxide
emissions limit, a facility may substitute use of a continuous
automated sampling system for the carbon monoxide annual performance
test to demonstrate compliance with the carbon monoxide emissions
limits:
(1) Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a CEMS for measuring
carbon monoxide emissions discharged to the atmosphere and record the
output of the system. The requirements under performance specification
4B of appendix B of this part, the quality assurance procedure 1 of
appendix F of this part and the procedures under Sec. 60.13 must be
followed for installation, evaluation, and operation of the CEMS; and
(2) Following the date that the initial performance test for carbon
monoxide is completed or is required to be completed under Sec.
60.2690, compliance with the carbon monoxide emission limit may be
determined based on the 30-day rolling average of the hourly arithmetic
average emission concentrations, including CEMS data during startup and
shutdown as defined in this subpart, using CEMS outlet data. Except for
CEMS data during startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart, the
1-hour arithmetic averages must be expressed in parts per million
corrected to 7 percent oxygen (dry basis) and used to calculate the 30-
day rolling average emission concentrations. CEMS data collected during
startup or shutdown, as defined in this subpart, are not corrected to 7
percent oxygen, and are measured at stack oxygen content. The 1-hour
arithmetic averages must be calculated using the data points required
under Sec. 60.13(e)(2).
(p) The owner/operator of an affected source with a bypass stack
shall install, calibrate (to manufacturers' specifications), maintain
and operate a device or method for measuring the use of the bypass
stack including date, time and duration.
(q) For energy recovery units with a heat input capacity of 100
MMBtu per hour or greater that do not use a carbon monoxide CEMS, you
must install, operate and maintain the continuous oxygen monitoring
system as defined in Sec. 60.2875 according to the procedures in
paragraphs (q)(1) through (4) of this section:
(1) The oxygen analyzer system must be installed by the initial
performance test date specified in Sec. 60.2675;

concentration using equation 19-19 in section 12.4.1 of EPA Reference
Method 19 of Appendix A-7 of this part.
(r) For energy recovery units with annual average heat input rates
greater than or equal to 250 MMBtu/hour and waste-burning kilns, you
must install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a PM CPMS and record the
output of the system as specified in paragraphs (r)(1) through (8) of
this section. For other energy recovery units, you may elect to use PM
CPMS operated in accordance with this section. PM CPMS are suitable in
lieu of using other CMS for monitoring PM compliance (e.g., bag leak
detectors, ESP secondary power, PM scrubber pressure):
(1) Install, calibrate, operate, and maintain your PM CPMS
according to the procedures in your approved site-specific monitoring
plan developed in accordance with Sec. 60.2710(l) and (r)(1)(i)
through (iii) of this section:
(i) The operating principle of the PM CPMS must be based on in-
stack or extractive light scatter, light scintillation, beta
attenuation, or mass accumulation of the exhaust gas or representative
sample. The reportable measurement output from the PM CPMS must be
expressed as milliamps or the digital signal equivalent;
(ii) The PM CPMS must have a cycle time (i.e., period required to
complete sampling, measurement, and reporting for each measurement) no
longer than 60 minutes; and
(iii) The PM CPMS must be capable of detecting and responding to
particulate matter concentrations increments no greater than 0.5 mg/
actual cubic meter.
(2) During the initial performance test or any such subsequent
performance test that demonstrates compliance with the PM limit, you
must adjust the site-specific operating limit in accordance with the
results of the performance test according to the procedures specified
in Sec. 60.2675.
(3) Collect PM CPMS hourly average output data for all energy
recovery unit or waste-burning kiln operating hours. Express the PM
CPMS output as milliamps or the digital signal equivalent.
(4) Calculate the arithmetic 30-day rolling average of all of the
hourly average PM CPMS output collected during all energy recovery unit
or waste-burning kiln operating hours data (milliamps or digital bits).
(5) You must collect data using the PM CPMS at all times the energy
recovery unit or waste-burning kiln is operating and at the intervals
specified in paragraph (r)(1)(ii) of this section, except for periods
of monitoring system malfunctions, repairs associated with monitoring
system malfunctions, required monitoring system quality assurance or
quality control activities (including, as applicable, calibration
checks and required zero and span adjustments), and any scheduled
maintenance as defined in your site-specific monitoring plan.
(6) You must use all the data collected during all energy recovery
unit or waste-burning kiln operating hours in assessing the compliance
with your operating limit except:
(i) Any data collected during monitoring system malfunctions,
repairs associated with monitoring system malfunctions, or required
monitoring system quality assurance or quality control activities
conducted during monitoring system malfunctions are not used in
calculations (report any such periods in your annual deviation report);
(ii) Any data collected during periods when the monitoring system
is out of control as specified in your site-specific monitoring plan,
repairs associated with periods when the monitoring system is out of
control, or required monitoring system quality assurance or quality
control activities conducted during out-of-control periods are not used
in calculations (report emissions or operating levels and report any
such periods in your annual deviation report); and
(iii) Any PM CPMS data recorded during periods of CEMS data during
startup and shutdown, as defined in this subpart.
(7) You must record and make available upon request results of PM
CPMS system performance audits, as well as the dates and duration of
periods from when the PM CPMS is out of control until completion of the
corrective actions necessary to return
[[Page 41020]]
the PM CPMS to operation consistent with your site-specific monitoring
plan.
(8) For any deviation of the 30-day rolling average PM CPMS average
value from the established operating parameter limit, you must:
(i) Within 48 hours of the deviation, visually inspect the air
pollution control device;
(ii) If inspection of the air pollution control device identifies
the cause of the deviation, take corrective action as soon as possible
and return the PM CPMS measurement to within the established value;
(iii) Within 30 days of the deviation or at the time of the annual
compliance test, whichever comes first, conduct a PM emissions
compliance test to determine compliance with the PM emissions limit and
to verify the operation of the emissions control device(s). Within 45
days of the deviation, you must re-establish the CPMS operating limit.
You are not required to conduct additional testing for any deviations
that occur between the time of the original deviation and the PM
emissions compliance test required under this paragraph; and
(iv) PM CPMS deviations leading to more than four required
performance tests in a 12-month process operating period (rolling
monthly) constitute a violation of this subpart.
(s) If you use a dry scrubber to comply with the emission limits of
this subpart, you must monitor the injection rate of each sorbent and
maintain the 3-hour block averages at or above the operating limits
established during the hydrogen chloride performance test.
Sec. 60.2735 Is there a minimum amount of monitoring data I must
obtain?
For each continuous monitoring system required or optionally
allowed under Sec. 60.2730, you must monitor and collect data
according to this section:
(a) You must operate the monitoring system and collect data at all
required intervals at all times compliance is required except for
periods of monitoring system malfunctions or out-of-control periods,
repairs associated with monitoring system malfunctions or out-of-
control periods (as specified in Sec. 60.2770(o)), and required
monitoring system quality assurance or quality control activities
including, as applicable, calibration checks and required zero and span
adjustments. A monitoring system malfunction is any sudden, infrequent,
not reasonably preventable failure of the monitoring system to provide
valid data. Monitoring system failures that are caused in part by poor
maintenance or careless operation are not malfunctions. You are
required to effect monitoring system repairs in response to monitoring
system malfunctions or out-of-control periods and to return the
monitoring system to operation as expeditiously as practicable.
(b) You may not use data recorded during the monitoring system
malfunctions, repairs associated with monitoring system malfunctions or
out-of control periods, or required monitoring system quality assurance
or control activities in calculations used to report emissions or
operating levels. You must use all the data collected during all other
periods, including data normalized for above scale readings, in
assessing the operation of the control device and associated control
system.
(c) Except for periods of monitoring system malfunctions or out-of-
control periods, repairs associated with monitoring system malfunctions
or out-of-control periods, and required monitoring system quality
assurance or quality control activities including, as applicable,
calibration checks and required zero and span adjustments, failure to
collect required data is a deviation of the monitoring requirements.

operating unit burns materials other than traditional fuels as defined
in Sec. 241.2 that have been discarded, and you do not keep and
produce records as required by Sec. 60.2740(u), the operating unit is
a CISWI unit. While not all CISWI units will include all of the
following components, a CISWI unit includes, but is not limited to, the
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 solid 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.

Cyclonic burn barrel 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. A cyclonic burn barrel is not an
incinerator, a waste-burning kiln, an energy recovery unit or a small,
remote incinerator under this subpart.
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, including but not limited to any emission limitation,

foundry sand thermal reclamation unit is not an incinerator, a waste-
burning kiln, an energy recovery unit or a small, remote incinerator
under this subpart.
Incinerator means any furnace used in the process of combusting
solid waste (as that term is defined by the Administrator in 40 CFR
part 241) for the purpose of reducing the volume of the waste by
removing combustible matter. Incinerator designs include single chamber
and two-chamber.
In-line coal mill means those coal mills using kiln exhaust gases
in their process. Coal mills with a heat source other than the kiln or
coal mills using exhaust gases from the clinker cooler alone are not an
in-line coal mill.
In-line kiln/raw mill means a system in a Portland Cement
production process where a dry kiln system is integrated with the raw
mill so that all or a portion of the kiln exhaust gases are used to
perform the drying operation of the raw mill, with no auxiliary heat
source used. In this system the kiln is capable of operating without
the raw mill operating, but the raw mill cannot operate without the
kiln gases, and consequently, the raw mill does not generate a separate
exhaust gas stream.
Kiln means an oven or furnace, including any associated preheater
or precalciner devices, in-line raw mills, in-line coal mills or alkali
bypasses used for processing a substance by burning, firing or drying.
Kilns include cement kilns that produce clinker by heating limestone
and other materials for subsequent production of Portland Cement.
Because the alkali bypass, in-line raw mill and in-line coal mill are
considered an integral part of the kiln, the kiln emissions limits also
apply to
[[Page 41027]]
the exhaust of the alkali bypass, in-line raw mill and in-line coal
mill.
Laboratory analysis unit means units that burn samples of materials
for the purpose of chemical or physical analysis. A laboratory analysis
unit is not an incinerator, waste-burning kiln, an energy recovery unit
or a small, remote incinerator under this subpart.
Load fraction means the actual heat input of an energy recovery
unit divided by heat input during the performance test that established
the minimum sorbent injection rate or minimum activated carbon
injection rate, expressed as a fraction (e.g., for 50 percent load the
load fraction is 0.5).
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 by-product
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.
Minimum voltage or amperage means 90 percent of the lowest test-run
average voltage or amperage to the electrostatic precipitator measured
during the most recent particulate matter or mercury performance test
demonstrating compliance with the applicable emission limits.
Modification or modified CISWI unit means a CISWI unit that has
been changed later than August 7, 2013, 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; and
(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 standards.
Municipal solid waste or municipal-type solid waste means
household, commercial/retail, or institutional waste. Household waste
includes material discarded by residential dwellings, hotels, motels,
and other similar permanent or temporary housing. Commercial/retail
waste includes material discarded by stores, offices, restaurants,
warehouses, nonmanufacturing activities at industrial facilities, and
other similar establishments or facilities. Institutional waste
includes materials discarded by schools, by hospitals (nonmedical), by
nonmanufacturing activities at prisons and government facilities, and
other similar establishments or facilities. Household, commercial/
retail, and institutional waste does include yard waste and refuse-
derived fuel. Household, commercial/retail, and institutional waste
does not include used oil; sewage sludge; wood pallets; construction,
renovation, and demolition wastes (which include railroad ties and
telephone poles); clean wood; industrial process or manufacturing
wastes; medical waste; or motor vehicles (including motor vehicle parts
or vehicle fluff).
Opacity means the degree to which emissions reduce the transmission
of light and obscure the view of an object in the background.
Operating day means a 24-hour period between 12:00 midnight and the
following midnight during which any amount of solid waste is combusted
at any time in the CISWI unit.
Oxygen analyzer system means all equipment required to determine
the oxygen content of a gas stream and used to monitor oxygen in the
boiler or process heater flue gas, boiler/process heater, firebox, or
other appropriate location. This definition includes oxygen trim
systems and certified oxygen CEMS. The source owner or operator is
responsible to install, calibrate, maintain, and operate the oxygen
analyzer system in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Oxygen trim system means a system of monitors that is used to
maintain excess air at the desired level in a combustion device over
its operating range. A typical system consists of a flue gas oxygen
and/or carbon monoxide monitor that automatically provides a feedback
signal to the combustion air controller or draft controller.
Part reclamation unit means a unit that burns coatings off parts
(e.g., tools, equipment) so that the parts can be reconditioned and
reused.
Particulate matter means total particulate matter emitted from
CISWI units as measured by Method 5 or Method 29 of appendix A of this
part.
Pathological waste means waste material consisting of only human or
animal remains, anatomical parts, and/or tissue, the bags/containers
used to collect and transport the waste material, and animal bedding
(if applicable).
Performance evaluation means the conduct of relative accuracy
testing, calibration error testing, and other measurements used in
validating the continuous monitoring system data.
Performance test means the collection of data resulting from the
execution of a test method (usually three emission test runs) used to
demonstrate compliance with a relevant emission standard as specified
in the performance test section of the relevant standard.
Process change means any of the following physical or operational
changes:
(1) A physical change (maintenance activities excluded) to the
CISWI unit which may increase the emission rate of any air pollutant to
which a standard applies;
(2) An operational change to the CISWI unit where a new type of
non-hazardous secondary material is being combusted;
(3) A physical change (maintenance activities excluded) to the air
pollution control devices used to comply with the emission limits for
the CISWI unit (e.g., replacing an electrostatic precipitator with a
fabric filter); and
(4) An operational change to the air pollution control devices used
to comply with the emission limits for the affected CISWI unit (e.g.,
change in the sorbent injection rate used for activated carbon
injection).
Rack reclamation unit means a unit that burns the coatings off
racks used to hold small items for application of a coating. The unit
burns the coating overspray off the rack so the rack can be reused.
Raw mill means a ball or tube mill, vertical roller mill or other
size reduction equipment, that is not part of an in-line kiln/raw mill,
used to grind feed to the appropriate size. Moisture may be added or
removed from the feed during the grinding operation. If the raw mill is
used to remove moisture from feed materials, it is also, by definition,
a raw material dryer. The raw mill also includes the air separator
associated with the raw mill.
Reconstruction means rebuilding a CISWI unit and meeting two
criteria:
(1) The reconstruction begins on or after August 7, 2013; and
(2) The cumulative cost of the construction over the life of the
incineration unit exceeds 50 percent of the original cost of building
and installing the CISWI unit (not including land) updated to current
costs (current
[[Page 41028]]
dollars). To determine what systems are within the boundary of the
CISWI unit used to calculate these costs, see the definition of CISWI
unit.
Refuse-derived fuel means a type of municipal solid waste produced
by processing municipal solid waste through shredding and size
classification. This includes all classes of refuse-derived fuel
including two fuels:
(1) Low-density fluff refuse-derived fuel through densified refuse-
derived fuel; and
(2) Pelletized refuse-derived fuel.
Responsible official means one of the following:
(1) For a corporation: A president, secretary, treasurer, or vice-
president of the corporation in charge of a principal business
function, or any other person who performs similar policy or decision-
making functions for the corporation, or a duly authorized

Solid waste means the term solid waste as defined in 40 CFR 241.2.
Solid waste incineration unit means a distinct operating unit of
any facility which combusts any solid waste (as that term is defined by
the Administrator in 40 CFR part 241) material from commercial or
industrial establishments or the general public (including single and
multiple residences, hotels and motels). Such term does not include
incinerators or other units required to have a permit under section
3005 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act. The term ``solid waste
