### development 

### ofstandards for 

### emissions 

### ofHazardous AirPollutants (HAP) to 

### protect the 

### public health and welfare. EPA has

### promulgated Maximum Achievable Control Tecimology (MACT) standards set forth to address HAP emissions from various source categories. As discussed more fully in the 

### enclosed FOV, 

### Veolia is in 

### violation 

### ofthe MACT standards that 

### regulateHAP emissions from 

### Hazardous Waste 

### Combustors. Section 113 

### ofthe Act gives us several enforcement options to 

### resolve these violations. The options 

### include issuing an 

### administrative compliance order, issuing an 

### administrative penalty order,bringing a

### ViOLATION Pursuantto he Clean AirAct, U.S.C. 7403 et seq.



### FINDING OF 

### VIOLATION VeoliaEnvironmental Services (you or Veolia) owns and operates three hazardous waste incinerators at #7 Mobile Avenue, Sauget, Illinois (facility). The incinerators are identified as 

### Incinerator Nos. 2, 3, and 4. The U.S. 

### Environmental ProtectionAgency is sending you this Finding

### ofViolation (FOV) to notify you thatwe have found thatVeolia is violating Section 112 

### ofthe Clean Air Act andits 

### implementingregulations forNationalEmission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from Hazardous Waste Combustors at 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart EEE. 

### National Emission 

### Standards for 

### HazardousAir 

### Pollutants from Hazardous Waste 

### Combustors
1. On 

### September 30, 1999, U.S. EPApromulgated theNational Emission Standards for 

### Hazardous Air Pollutants from 

### Hazardous Waste Combustors (HWC 

### NESHAP) at 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart EEE (64 Fed. Reg. 53038). 2. In July2001, theD.C. Circuit Court

### ofAppeals vacated the HWC NESHAP. Cement Recycling Coal. v. EPA, 347 U.S. App. D.C. 127, 255 F.3d 855, 857 (D.C. Cir. 2001). The Court stayed the vacatur until U.S. 

### EPAcould promulgateinterim standards. 3. On 

### February 13, 2002, U.S. EPA 

### promulgated the HWC NESHAP interim standards at 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart EEE (67 Fed. Reg. 6792).2 

### Regulatory Requirements for 

### HWC NESHAP 4. The following HWC NESHAP requirements are relevant to this FOV:

a. 40 C.F.R. §63.1203(a)(2) prohibits a source from emitting

### mercury in excess 

### of 130 

### microgramsper dry standard cubic 

### meter (ugldscm) for all hazardous waste incinerators. b. 40 C.F.R. § 63.1207(b)(1) requires that an owner oroperator 

### ofaHazardous Waste Combustor conduct a Comprehensive Performance Test to, in part, demonstrate compliance with the HWC NESHAP emission standards and establish operating 

### parameter limits.

c. 40 C.F.R. § 63.1207(f) requires a source to submit a Compliance Performance Test Plan. d. 40 C.F.R. § 63.1207(f)(1)(x) states that 

### ifa source wants to request to extrapolate metal feed rate limits from the 

### Compliance Performance Test levels, it must include the following in the CompliancePerformance Test Plan:
i. A description 

### ofthe extrapolation methodology and rationale for how the approach ensures compliance with the emissions standards; ii. 

### Documentation 

### ofthe historicalrange 

### ofnormal (i.e., other than during compliance testing) metals feed rates for each feedstream; and iii. Documentation thatthe level 

### ofspiking recommended during the performance test will mask sampling and analysis imprecision and inaccuracy to the extent that the 

### extrapolated feed rate limits adequately assure compliance with the emission standards. 

### Explanation ofViolation 5. From at least 

### January 2005 through March 2006, 

### Veolia's mercury emissions exceeded 130 

### microgramsper dry standard cubic 

### meter at 

### Incinerator Nos. 2, 3, and 4 in violation 

### of40 C.F.R. §63.1203(a)(2). 6. From at least 

### December 30, 2003 through the

### present, Veolia has used and continues to use as surrogates for

### mercury emission standards 

### operating parameter limits that it derived from an 

### extrapolation methodology for

### which it did not 

### appropriately request approval in its 

### Compliance Performance Test Plan, in 

### violation 

### of40 C.F.R. § 63.1207(f)(1)(x).3 

### Environmental Impact ofViolations 7. Hazardous Air 

### Pollutant (HAP) standards may cause serioushealth effects including birth defects and cancer. HAPs may also causeharmful environmental and ecological effects.
