### 1. 0 Introduction

1. 1 Progra m Summa ry [4 0 CF R § 63

. 1207(f ) an d § 63.7(c)(2)(i)]

V e oli a E S Tech n i ca l Sol u tions , L.L.C. (Veolia ) operates three incinerators at it s Sauget

,

Illin oi s facility

. Two of the incinerators are fixed hearth units (Units 2 and 3), and the third

incinerator is a rotary kiln unit (Unit 4). All of the incinerato rs tr e at certai n w a st es tha t ar e

classifie d as hazardou s unde r stat e an d /o r federa l re g ulation s

, and are subject to the National

Emission Standard s for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) for Hazardous Waste

Combustors (Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 63 [40 CFR Part 63], Subpa rt

EEE), (i.e., the HWC MACT).

In August and September of 2008, Veolia conducted tests of Units 2, 3, and 4 required

by the information collection requests from USEPA Region 5 dated June 5, 2008 and

September 12, 2008. Those tests began on August 11, 2008 for Unit 2, August 5, 2008 for

Unit 3, and August 21, 2008 for Unit 4 . The test plans for these tests wer e approved by

USEPA Region 5. The tests were designed to demonstrate compliance with the applicable

emission standards of the HWC MACT for metals codified at 40 CF R § 63. 1 2 19(a)(2), 40 CF R

§ 63. 1 2 19(a)(3), and 40 CF R § 63. 1 2 19(a)(4) for mercury, cadmium an d lead (i.e., Semi v olatile

Metals

– SVM), and arsenic, beryllium, and chromium (i.e., Low Volatil ity Metals

- LVM).

The tests also established Operating Parameter Limits (OPLs) for mercury, and SVM and LVM

codified at 40 CF R § 63. 1 209 (l) and 40 CF R § 63. 1 2 09 (n), respectively.

The initial C omprehensive performance test s of Units 2, 3, and 4 commenced on December 8, 2009 for

Unit 2; on December 1, 2009 for Unit 3; and on December 16, 2009 for Unit 4. The Comprehensive

Performance Tests were performed in ac cordance with Comprehensive Performance Test Plans approved

by USEPA Region 5 on November 25, 2009. The HWC MACT, at 40 CF R § 63.1207(d), states “The date of

commencement of the initial comprehensive performance test is the basis for establishing the dea dline to

commence the initial confirmatory performance test and the next comprehensive performance test. You

may conduct performance testing at any time prior to the required date. The deadline for commencing

subsequent confirmatory and comprehensive perfo rmance testing is based on the date of

commencement of the previous comprehensive performance test.” Veolia Sauget understands that EPA

Region 5’s position regarding commencement of the subsequent CPTs is based on the initiation of the

metals tests perfor med in 2008, stating in a letter dated August 3, 2012 “Veolia must submit to EPA a

notification of intent to conduct a CPT and a site

- specific test plan for the CPT at least one year before

the performance test. 40 CF R § 63. 1 2 07 ( e )( 1)(i)...by September 5, 20 12”. Veolia is submitting to EPA its

notification of intent and site

- specific test plan for the subsequent CPT by this date.1

- 2

Thi s docum e n t i s a Comprehensive Performance Test Plan fo r Unit 3 for the subsequent

comprehensive performance test (CPT) and pro vides notification that Veolia Sauget intends to

start the CPTs of the three incinerators at the Sauget facility by September 5, 2013. A ll of the

applicable parameters of the HWC MACT including dioxins/furans, total hydrocarbons (THC),

carbon monoxide (CO) , particulate matter (PM), hydrogen chloride/chlorine gas (HCl/Cl 2 ),

mercury, SVM, and LVM will be determined during the CPT

.

Per 40 CFR §63.1206(b)(7)(i)(A), compliance with the DRE standard is required to be

demonstrated only one time, and Veolia Sauget demonstrated DRE during RCRA Trial Burns of

Units 2, 3, and 4 performed in January 1993 , November 1996, and December 1995, respectively.

The HWC MACT requires that DRE only be demonstrated one time as long as ―you do not feed

hazardous waste at a location in the combustion system other than the normal flame zone‖ (§

63.1207(c)(2)(iv))

. Veolia will not re

- demonstrate DRE for Unit 3 in the subsequent CPT

. DRE,

and the associated OPLs, were demonstrated during the 199 6 trial burn , and operations of the

incine rator have not significantly changed since that test

.

This test (i.e., the subsequent CPT ) is designed to demonstrate applicable emission

standards and establish OPLs as required by the HWC MACT for dioxins/furans, total

hydrocarbons (THC), carbon monoxid e (CO), particulate matter (PM), hydrogen

chloride/chlorine gas (HCl/Cl 2 ), mercury, SVM, and LVM

. The results of this test will be

used to revise the current NOC.

1.3.2 Test Protocol Summary

A brief description of the objectives of the subsequent CPT is pro vided below

, and a

definition of the applicable emission limits and the resulting operating parameter limits (OPLs)

are given in Section 4.0. The test condition of the subsequent CPT of Unit 3 will include one

mode of operation , and one set of OPLs will b e developed.

In the first part of the test, Veolia will demonstrate compliance with the particulate matter

and HCl/Cl 2 standards of the HWC MACT while the plant is operating to establish the maximum

ash feedrate, maximum chlorine feedrate, maximum combust ion gas flowrate, and other

applicable OPLs as required by the HWC MACT for the particulate matter and HCl/Cl 2

standards. Compliance with the standard for carbon monoxide will also be demonstrated during

this t est.

In the second part of the test, Veolia will demonstrate compliance , and develop OPLs,

with the dioxins/furans, THC

, CO, LVM, SVM, and mercury , SVM, and LVM standards of the

HWC MACT while the plant is operating to establish maximum total hazardous waste feedrate,

maximum pumpable hazardous was te feedrate, minimum primary combustion chamber (PCC)

temperature, minimum secondary combustion chamber (SCC) temperature

, maximum LVM,

SVM, and Hg metals fe e drates, maximum chlorine feedrate, maximum combustion gas flowrate,

and maximum inlet temperature to the baghouse. and other OPLs as required by the HWC MACT

for the mercury, SVM, and LVM standards

. Ash will be fed to the incinerator at normal (or

higher) levels during this t est. Compliance with the standard for carbon monoxide will also be

demonstrated during this t est.

Veolia will demonstrate compliance with the particulate matter and HCl/Cl 2 standards of

the HWC MACT while the plant is operating to establish the maximum ash feedrate, maximum

chlorine feedrate, maximum combustion gas flowrate, and ot her OPLs as required by the HWC

MACT for the particulate matter and HCl/Cl 2 standards. Compliance with the standard for

carbon monoxide will also be demonstrated during this t est.

Veolia will demonstrate compliance with the dioxins/furans, total hydrocar bons, and

carbon monoxide standards of the HWC MACT while the plant is operating to establish the

minimum primary combustion chamber (PCC) temperature, minimum secondary combustion

chamber (SCC) temperature, maximum total hazardous waste feedrate, maximum pumpable

hazardous waste feedrate, maximum combustion gas flowrate, and other OPLs as required by the

HWC MACT for the dioxins/furans, total hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide standards

. Chlorine will be fed to the incinerator at normal (or higher) levels during this t est.

Per 40 CFR §63.1206(b)(7)(i)(A) compliance with the DRE standard is required to be1

- 6

demonstrated only one time and Veolia demonstrated DRE for Unit 3 in a November 1996

RCRA trial burn

. Veolia will not re

- demonstrate DRE for Unit 3 in th e subsequent CPT for the

Final Replacement Standards of the HWC MACT

. DRE, and the associated OPLs, were

demonstrated during the 199 6 trial burn , and operations of the incinerator have not significantly

changed since that test

. The resulting OPLs associate d with the standard for DRE, from the

NOC, are

Maximum Total Pumpable Waste Feedrate 4,045 lb/hr ;

Maximum Total Waste Feedrate 5,098 lb/hr ;

Minimum Stack Gas Flowrate 1 6,061 acfm;

Minimum Temperature in the Primary Combustion Chamber 1,6 27 o F ; a nd

Minimum Temperature in the Secondary Combustion Chamber 1,84 5 o F

.

Per 40 CFR §63.120 9 (i) , when an operating parameter applicable to multiple standards is

demonstrated in performance tests not performed simultaneously, the most stringent limit

applies. The OPLs required for DRE and for dioxins/furans are the same. The OPLs for

maximum pumpable hazardous waste feedrate, maximum total hazardous waste feedrate,

minimum temperature in the PCC, minimum temperature in the SCC, and maximum stack gas

flowrate w ill be the more stringent demonstrated in the 1993 trial burn and the subsequent CPT.

The OPL for maximum stack gas flowrate will be the most stringent demonstrated in the 1993

trial burn and the first and second portions of the subsequent CPT.

THC is t ypically demonstrated in conjunction with DRE

. The OPLs for THC (i.e.,

minimum combustion chamber temperature in the primary combustion chamber , minimum

combustion chamber temperature in the secondary combustion chamber , maximum flue gas

flowrate, maximum pumpable hazardous waste feedrate, and maximum total waste feedrate) are

the same as the OPLs for DRE (that the same for dioxins/furans). Even though DRE will not be

demonstrated, THC will be demonstrated during the subsequent CPT of Unit 3 during the

diox ins/furans portion of the CPT.

The CPT will be performed to demonstrate compliance and establish OPLs for targeted

standards

, recognizing that p er 40 CFR §63.1209(h)(1), ―if the performance tests...are not

performed simultaneously, the most stringent limit for a parameter derived from independent

performance tests applies‖

. Operating conditions during the subsequent CPT represent the

―extreme range of normal‖ conditions which will allow for establishment of HWC MACT OPLs

that provide adequate operational fle xibility

. The operating parameter data will be used as shown

in Table 1

- 2 to develop HWC MACT OPLs

. Wastes utilized during the CPT will be typical of

the wastes normally treated in Unit 3 . The constituent spiking approaches are presented in

Section 4.5. Up on completion of the subsequent CPT, a Notification of Compliance (NOC) will1

Th e h azardou s wast e ga s r esidenc e tim e fo r Unit 3 i s calculate d a s foll o ws using the OPL

for the stack gas flowrate in the current NOC :

Primary Combustion Chamber Volume

– 635 ft 3 ;

Secondary Combustion Chamber Volume

– 635 ft 3 ;

Total Volume

– 1,270 ft 3 ;

Maximum Flue Gas Flow r ate

– 1 5,147 acfm (2 52 ft 3 /sec); and

Total Combustion Zone Residence Time = (1,270 ft 3 ) / 2 52 ft 3 /sec) = 5.0 sec.

Since Unit 3 is a fixed hearth unit, residence time is based on the travel length of the ash

ram that functions to clear the primary combustion ch amber of solid waste residue. A travel

length of 110 inches for the ash ram has been established as the criteria for determining when

solid waste is no longer in the combustion zone. In the case of an ash ram failure, an elapsed

time of one hour has been established as the criteria for determining when solid waste is no

longer in the combustion zone.

Since Unit 3 is a fixed hearth unit

, residence time is based on the elapsed time since the

last solids charge was put into the combustion zone or based on the travel length of the ash ram

that functions to clear the primary combustion chamber of solid waste residue. An elapsed time

of one hour or a travel length of 110 inches for the ash ram have been established as the criteria

for determining when solid w aste is n o longer in the combustion zone

The extent to which emissions can be controlled in an equipment malfunction is

dependent upon the type of malfunction that occurs. Waste feeds are stopped in equipment

malfunctions, and depending on the nature of the malfunction, the air pollution control system

remains in operation. Emissions are controlled during malfunctions by stopping all waste

feeds (may occur manually or automatically), m aintaining combustion zone and scrubber

system temperatures within OPLs, keeping the ESV in a closed state, and maintaining

negative pressure in the combustion zones.

4.4 Establishing Operating Parameter Limits

An objective of the subsequent CPT fo r the Final Replacement Standards is to establish

limits for a number of operating parameters while simultaneously demonstrating compliance

with the performance standards and emission limits of the HWC MACT

. Operating parameter

limits established as requir ed by the HWC MACT from the results of the CPT will limit

emissions of the regulated parameters, and will ensure compliance with these standards during

future operations

. Table 4

- 3 identifies each emission standard and the operating parameter to be

monitor ed to ensure future compliance

. The HWC MACT requires operating parameters be

established. The operating limit is set as the average of the three runs during the applicable

portion of the CPT and the 199 6 RCRA Trial Burn , as appropriate

, per manufacturer

s pecification, or by rule.4

During the comprehensive performance testing, Veolia will spike metals at feedrates that

are at the extreme range of normal. Veolia will feed metal s at or above Veolia’s defined NOC

rates which are well above the average feed over the last five years. These demonstrated

feedrates will be incorporated in the subsequent NOC. Veolia will discuss with the Agency any

further requirements that may be nec essary, such as varied carbon feed rates during mercury and

dioxins/furans testing, before extrapolation is requested. Any additional information or testing

requirements for extrapolation purposes will be done outside of the CPT to not only satisfy the

Ag ency, but also to avoid conflicts between HWC MACT testing requirements and extrapolation

requirements.

4. 8 Testing During Cl eaning Cycles

40 CFR 63.1207(g)(1)(i)(C) requires that tests for PM, SVM, LVM, mercury, and

dioxins/furans include a normal cleaning cycle of the PM control device. The baghouse is the

unit of the air pollution control train that is designed and operated t o control particulate matter

.

T esting for PM, SVM, LVM, mercury, and dioxins/furans will be performed during a cleaning

cycle of the fabric filter (i.e., baghouse)

. Testing in all three runs of all tests conducted will4

- 17

include a cleaning cycle of the bagho use.

As discussed in Section 2.5.1 of this plan, jet s o f ai r are used t o clea n th e fi l te r bags of the

baghouse

4. 10 AWFCO System During the CPT

The CPT will be conducted at operating conditions at the extreme range of normal

. A

primary objectiv e of the test is to establish limits for operating parameters that ensure compliance

with the emission standards during subsequent operations

. The HWC MACT, at 40 CFR

63.1207(h)(1) and (2), waives the OPLs during subsequent performance testing and pretesti ng

under an approved test plan.4

- 18

One of the objectives of the subsequent CPT is to establish certain HWC MACT limits at

or near the limits in the current NOC

. To accomplish operation near current OPLs, Veolia will

disable the OPLs in the current NOC durin g the subsequent CPT

.

Veolia currently does not envision pre

- testing of Unit 3 prior to the CPT. If pre

- testing is

deemed to be necessary prior to the CPT, Veolia will request a and for the 720

- hour sha kedown

period ( i.e

. , pretesting) in which OPLs would be disengaged. Veolia will notify EPA Region 5 if

pretesting is to be conducted

. .

4. 11 An ti c ip a te d T es t S c h e dule

The subsequent CPT of Unit 3 will be performed at one test condition (i.e., one

mode of operation ) , and one set of OPLs will be developed. There are two portions to the test

condition. In the first part of the test, Veolia will demonstrate compliance with the particulate

matter and HCl/Cl 2 standards of the HWC MACT while the plant is operating to establish the

maximum ash feedrate, maximum chlorine feedrate, maximum combustion gas flowrate, and

other applicable OPLs as required by the HWC MACT for the particulate matter and HCl/Cl 2

standards. In the second part of the test, Veolia will demonstrate compliance , and develop OPLs,

with the diox ins/furans, THC

, CO, LVM, SVM, and mercury standards of the HWC MACT

while the plant is operating to establish maximum total hazardous waste feedrate, maximum

pumpable hazardous waste feedrate, minimum primary combustion chamber (PCC) temperature,

minimum secondary combustion chamber (SCC) temperature

, maximum LVM, SVM, and Hg

fe e drates, maximum chlorine feedrate, maximum combustion gas flowrate, and maximum inlet

temperature to the baghouse.

Both parts of the test condition will include three test runs , or test periods. An individual

run of the CPT will be performed over three successive days with the testing for the two portions of

the single test condition performed back

- to

- back on each of the three days. For the first part of the

test, target opera

ting conditions (i.e., normal waste feedrates, maximum ash and chlorine feedrates,

maximum stack gas flowrate, and minimum sorbent and carrier fluid flowrates to the SDA) will be

established and maintained, and chlorine will be spiked for 30 minutes prior to the start of testing.

Once steady

- state operations have been achieved, stack testing for PM and HCl/Cl 2 will begin

along with the sampling of waste feeds. The sampling time of a Method 5/26A run for PM and

HCl/Cl 2 will be one hour. I t i s anticipa t e d tha t a Method 5/26A run for PM/HCl/Cl 2 w il l require

appr o x imatel y one and one

- half to two hour s to complete. The amount of time needed to complete

stack sampling for PM and HCl/Cl 2 will determine the length of the first part of the test condition.

The col lection of samples of the waste feeds, and the collection of the chlorine spiking material,

will be coordinated with the Method 5/26A stack sampling for PM and HCl/Cl 2 (i.e., at the

beginning, at port change, and at completion stack sampling).4

- 19

Following c ompletion of testing for the first part of the test, the operation of Unit 3 will be

adjusted to the target operating conditions for the second portion of the test condition (i.e., maximum

waste feedrates, minimum temperatures in the PCC and SCC, maximum c hlorine feedrate, maximum

stack gas flowrate, and normal or higher ash feedrate. Steady

- state operation will be established

and maintained, and Cr, Pb, Hg, and chlorine will be spiked for 30 minutes prior to the start of

testing. Once steady

- state operat ions have been achieved, stack testing for LVM, SVM, and Hg

and for dioxins and furans and THC will begin concurrently along with sampling of waste feeds.

The sampling time of a Method 29 run for LVM, SVM, and Hg will be two hours. I t i s anticipa t e d

tha t a Method 29 run for metals w il l require appr o x imatel y two and one

- half to three hour s to

complete. The sampling time of a Method 0023A run for dioxins and furans will be three hours, and

the amount of time to complete a Method 0023A run for dioxins/furan s is expected to be

appr o x imatel y three and one

- half to four hour s . The collection of samples of the waste feeds will

be coordinated with the Method 0023A stack sampling for dioxins/furans (i.e., at the beginning, at

port change, and at completion stack s ampling). While spiking of Cr, Pb, Hg, and chlorine will

continue throughout the second portion of the test, sampling of the spiking materials for Cr, Pb,

Hg, and chlorine will be coordinated with the Method 29 stack sampling for LVM, SVM, and Hg

(i.e., a t the beginning, at port change, and at completion stack sampling). The three individual

samples of the liquid spiking solutions of Cr and Hg will be analyzed. The individual samples of

the solid spiking materials for Pb and chlorine will be archived. A fourth set of samples of the Cr,

Pb, Hg, and chlorine spiking solutions and materials will be collected at the completion of the

Method 0023A sampling train for dioxins/furans. This fourth sample of the spiking solutions and

materials will be archived.

In August and September of 2008, Veolia conducted tests of Units 2, 3, and 4 required by the

information collection requests from USEPA Region 5 dated June 5, 2008 and September 12,

2008. These tests were designed to demonstrate compliance with the applicable emission

standards of the HWC MACT for metals , and began on August 11, 2008 for Unit 2, August 5,

2008 for Unit 3, and August 21, 2008 for Unit 4

. The initial C omprehensive P erformance T est s of

Units 2, 3, and 4 commenced on December 8, 2009 for Unit 2; on December 1, 2009 for Unit 3;

and on December 16, 2009 for Unit 4. The HWC MACT, at 40 CF R § 63.1207(d), states “The

date of commencement of the initial comprehensive performance test is the basis for establishing

the deadline to commence the initial confirmatory performance test and the next comprehensive

performance test. You may conduct performance testing at any time prior to the required date.

### 5.0 Sampling, Analysis, and Monitoring Procedures

The subsequent CPT of Unit 3 will be performed at one include multiple test condition s to

demonstrate system performan ce and to establish appropriate operating parameter limits (OPLs)

for the all of the applicable standards of the HWC MACT. Sections 4.3.1, 4.3.2, and 4.3.3

present the tests at which the incinerator will be tested. The CPT will include three replicate

samp ling runs at the one test condition each of the set of multiple conditions

. Table 5

- 1

summarizes the parameters that will be measured during the test and the frequency of

measurement. URS will perform all on site sampling activities during the CPT.

5.1 S ampling Locations and Procedures

Samples will be collected of solid, liquid, and gas streams during the CPT. This section

describes the sampling methods that will be employed

. Table 5

- 2 summarizes the sampling

methods for each stream and the param eters tha t will be determined. Because most of the

proposed methods are standard reference methods, only brief, summary type descriptions are

presented

. More detailed descriptions are presented in the indicated reference documents and in

the Quality Assurance Proje ct Plan (QAPjP) for the test.

5.1.1 Liquids Sampling Procedures

Samples of the liquid waste feed and chromium spiking solution will be collected in

amber glass bottles with Teflon cap liners

. The mercury solution samples will remain in the

vials in whic h the mercuric nitrate solution was fed to the incinerator. Pre

- cleaned bottles

will be purchased and used to collect the samples

test. URS will be collecting the spike and waste samples.

Three samples of the liquid waste feed, and the chromium and mercury spiking

solutions will be collected in each run. At the beginning, middle (at por t change), and end of

the Method 5/26A sampling train of the first part of the test, approximately 1

- liter samples of

the liquid waste feed stream will be collected. At the beginning, middle (at port change ) , and

end of the Method 0023A sampling train of the second part of the test, approximately 1

- liter

samples of the liquid waste feed stream will be collected. The 1

- liter sub

- samples will be

collected at each designated sampling time, and the collected material (i.e., sub

- sample) will

be transferred int o a larger container, producing a composite sample of the liquid waste feed.

The composite liquid waste feed samples from the first part and the second part of the CPT

will be analyzed.5

- 2

. Samples of the chromium and mercury spiking solution s will be col lected in each run

of the second part of the test. At the beginning, middle (at port change), and end of the

Method 29 sampling of the second part of the test, approximately 125

- mL samples of the

chromium spiking solution will be collected. At the same f requency, samples of the mercury

spiking solution will be collected from randomly selected waste feed containers. T he

individual samples of the chromium and mercury spiking solutions collected during each run

of the test will be analyzed for chromium or m ercury, respectively. A fourth sample of the

chromium and mercury spiking solutions will be collected at the completion of the Method

0023A sampling train. This fourth sample will be archived. archived.

Liquid waste samples will be collected u p strea m o f a n y meta l spikin g locatio n using the

tap sampling procedure specified in U.S. EPA Method S004, ―Sampling and Analysis Methods

for Hazardous Waste Combustion.‖ The sample tap will be flushed each time by allowing the

sample to flow briefly before the sampl e is collected

. This will ensure that any stagnant

accumulation of solids, or other contaminants that may be present in the tap, does not affect the

sample integrity or its representation of the stream being sampled.

Adequate amounts of the samples of the liquid waste feed and the chromium and mercury

spiking solution s will be collected such that duplicate samples can be made available to EPA

Region 5.

At the beginning, middle (at port change), and end of each test period, approximately

1

- liter samples o f each liquid stream will be collected

. The individual samples will be

composited on site to provide one sample per test run

.

Samples of the chromium spiking solution will be collected at the beginning and end of

each sampling run.5

each run and archived.

5.1.3 Stack Gas Sampling Procedures

The stack gas emissions will be collected for determination of th e parameters indicated in

Tables 5

- 1 and 5

- 2

. The methods that will be employed are described below.

5.1.3.1 Sample Port Location

The stack is 9 0

- feet high and has an inside diameter of 39 inches

. There are two sets of

two orthogonal ports located at tw o slightly different levels

. The number of sampling points will

be determined in accordance with EPA Method 1

, and is discussed further in the QAPjP.

5.1.3.2 EPA Methods 2 and 4 (Flow r ate and Moisture)

Concurrent with the performance of the isokinetic sam pling train, measurements will be

made to determine gas velocity by 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A, Method 2, and moisture by

Method 4.

5.1.3.3 EPA Method 29 (Metals)

Samples of the stack gas emissions will be collected isokinetically for the HWC MACT

metals As, Be, Cd, Cr, Pb, and Hg using Method 29 from 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A.

This method is basically an EPA Method 5 sampling train with some very specific

modifications:

The nozzle and probe liner will be glass or quartz. All con nections will be glass or

Teflon;

The filter will be quartz or glass fiber, with a fritted glass or Teflon support;

The first impinger will be empty (optional);

The second and third impingers will contain a nitric acid/hydrogen peroxide solution;

The fourth impinger will be empt y;

The fifth and sixth impingers will contain acidic potassium permanganate; and

Modified Greenburg

- Smith impinger containing silica gel.

Following sampling, the probe and nozzle of the sampling train will be recovered using a5

- 9

brush containing no metal

. The probe and nozzle will be rinsed with 0.1 normal nitric acid.

Sampling will involve collecting samples iso kinetically across both diagonals of the

stack

. The sampling rate for each train will be between 0.5 and 0.75 dry standard cubic feet per

minute

. A minimum of 45 dry standard cubic feet will be col lected over a minimum sampling

time of 120 minutes.

5.1.3.4 EPA Method 5 (PM) / EPA Method 26A (HCl/Cl 2 )

Samples for the determination of HCl, Cl 2 , and particulate matter (PM) in stack emissions

will be collected using a single sampling train meeting the requirements of both EPA Method

26A and Method 5

. This sample train consists of the following components:

Glass (quartz) nozzle;

Heated, glass (quartz)

- lined probe;

Heated Teflon mat filter with a Tefl on filter support;

Optional empty knockout impinger;

Greenburg

- Smith impinger containing 100 mL of 0.1 N H 2 SO 4 ;

Greenburg

- Smith impinger containing 100 mL of 0.1 N H 2 SO 4 ;

Modified Greenburg

- Smith impinger containing 100 mL of 0.1 N NaOH;

Modified Greenburg

- Smith impinger containing 100 mL of 0.1 N NaOH; and

Modified Greenburg

- Smith impinger containing silica gel.

The procedures specified in EPA Method 5 and TCEQ protocol will be used to determine

particulate matter

. These procedures require the isokinetic extraction of particulate matter on a

filter maintained at a controlled temperature . In accordance with EPA Method 26A, the

temperature of the filter will be maintained between 248°F and 273°F

. A Teflon union will be

used to connect the quartz nozzle to the quartz probe liner

. The particulate mass, which includes

all material that condenses at or above the filtration temperature, is determined gravimetrically,

after desiccation.

Sampling will involve collecting samples iso kinetically across both diagon als of the

stack

. The sampling rate for each train will be between 0.5 and 0.75 dry standard cubic feet per

minute

. A minimum of 3 0 dry standard cubic feet will be col lected over a minimum sampling

time of 60 minutes.

Chloride analysis will be performed o n the impinger contents using ion chromatography

according to Method 26A.

5.1.3.5 SW

- 846 Method 0023A (Dioxins/Furans)5

- 10

Stack gas emissions samples will be collected for dioxins/ furans using SW

- 846 Method

0023A

. The sampling train consists of a heated prob e, heated filter, sorbent module, and

pumping and metering unit

. A gooseneck nozzle of proper size to allow isokinetic sample

collection is attached to the probe

. S

- type pitot differential pressure is monitored to determine the

isokinetic sampling rate.

From the heated filter, sample gas enters the sorbent module

. The sorbent module

consists of a water

- cooled condenser followed by the XAD

- 2 resin trap

. After the resin trap is a

dry modified Greenburg

- Smith impinger that collects the aqueous condensate

. Th e stem of this

impinger is short to reduce carryover of collected aqueous condensate

. Following the condensate

trap are two impingers containing 100 mL of DI water to collect any mist carryover from the

condensate trap and a final impinger containing a des iccant to dry the sample gas before

metering

. A pump and dry gas meter are used to control and monitor the sample gas flowrate.

Sampling of the stack gases will be conducted in accordance with published protocol.

This will involve collecting samples isokin etically across both diagonals of the stack

. The

sampling rate for each train will be between 0.5 and 0.75 dry standard cubic feet per minute

(dscfm). A minimum of 2.5 dry standard cubic meters (88.3 dry standard cubic feet ) will be col

lected over a minim um sampling time of 3 hours.

5.1.3.6 Continuous Emissions Monitoring (THC, CO 2 , CO and O 2 )

CEMs will be used to monitor the concentrations of THC (total hydrocarbons), CO 2 , CO,

and O 2 in the stack gas.

CO and O 2 results will be reported for the stack gases from permanent installation CEMS

of the incinerator facility

. THC, CO 2, and O 2 continuous monitors will be provided by the test

contractor conducting the test.

The concentrations of total hydrocarbons (THC), carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), and oxygen (O 2 )

in the s tack gas will be determined by the test contractor conducting the test using EPA Methods

25A and 3A, respectively

. CO 2 and O 2 will be monitored using Method 3A to determine the

stack gas composition (i.e., molecular weight) to determine the flowrate of the stack gas

. Both of

these methods utilize continuous monitors

.

5.2 Analysis Procedures

Samples collected during the Comprehensive Performance Test will be analyzed for the

parameters specified in Table 5

- 3

. This section describes the analytical methods th at will be

employed

. Since most of the proposed methods are standard reference methods, only brief

summary type descriptions are presented

. More detailed descriptions can be found in the

indicated reference documents and in the QAPjP. All analyses will be performed by Test5

- 11

America Laboratories in Knoxville, TN

. Analytical results for the waste feed samples will be

reported on an as

- received or wet weight basis. Samples of the waste feed will not be dried prior

to analysis.

- 12

(SW

- 846 Method 6010B) are arsenic (As), beryllium (Be), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), and

lead (Pb). Mercury (Hg) will be analyzed using Method 747 1 A of SW

- 846.

The Method 29 sampling train will be used to collect samples of the stack gas for metals.

The samples will be analyzed using ICPES according to SW

- 846 Method 6010B, and mercury

will be analyzed using Method 7470A of SW

- 846

. The metals to be analyzed by ICPES are As,

Be, Cd, Cr, and Pb.

5.2. 3 Particulate Ma tter Analysis

The particulate matter concentration of the stack gas will be determined following 40

CFR 60, Appendix A, Method 5 protocols

. The wash from the nozzle, probe liner, and glassware

prior to the filter on the sampling train will be evaporated, a nd the mass determined on an

analytical balance

. The filter will be removed from the sampling train, desiccated, and weighed

to determine the mass of particulate on the filter

. The combined mass from the filter and the

evaporated wash are then related to t he total volume of gas sampled to determine the particulate

loading

.

5.2.4 HCl and Cl 2 Analysis

The sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide impinger catches from the Method 5/26A

sampling train will be analyzed for chloride ion concentrations. Chloride analys is will be

performed using EPA Method 26A, an IC technique.

5.2.5 Dioxins/Furans Analysis

Samples of the stack gas collected using SW

- 846 Method 0023A will be analyzed for

dioxins / furans using SW

- 846 Method 8290, high resolution gas chromatography (HRGC) w ith

high resolution mass spectroscopy (HRMS) analytical technique

. The analytical protocol

includes quantitation of all dibenzodioxins and dibenzofurans including four or more chlorine

atoms

. The method provides congener class definition for each of the fi ve congener groups

(tetra

- , penta

- , hexa

- , hepta

- , and octa

- )

. In addition, each individual isomer containing the

2,3,7,8

- substitution pattern will be individually quantified.

5.3 Process Monitoring Procedures

The incinerator system is monitored to ensur e that it is operating in accordance with the

permitted conditions. During the performance test, the automatic waste feed cutoff system will

be operational; however, AWFCO limits in the current NOC will be adjusted or disabled during

the performance testin g period, and during a 720

- hour shakedown period prior to the test , if pre

testing is conducted

. Veolia will notify EPA Region 5 if pretesting is to be conducted

5.4 Quality Assurance/Quality Control Procedures

An effective QA/QC strategy is essential to ensure the usefulness and reliability of data

collected in any source testing effort

. This QA/QC program is documented in a project

- specific

QAPjP. The QAPjP details QA/QC activities for the Comprehensive Performance Test, as well

as specifications for sampling and analysis activities, objectives, and procedures

. The QAPjP

conforms to the requirements detailed in Guidance for Quality Assurance Project Plans (QA/G

5)

. ―Preparation Aid for HWERL’s Category II Quality Assurance Project Plans,‖ U.S. EPA,

Jun e 1987 (PA QAPjP

- 0007

- GFS).

The primary objective of the QA/QC effort will be to provide the mechanism whereby

the quality of the measurement data is known and documented and is subject to ongoing

evaluation throughout the course of the project

. To achie ve this objective, the QA/QC program

must serve two distinct, interrelated functions

. One function will be that of providing a QC

database which, together with performance audit results, can be used to assess measurement data

quality in terms of precision and accuracy

. Inherent and implied in this assessment function is a

second, parallel function of controlling data quality within prescribed limits of acceptability.

The QAPjP delineates specific sampling and analytical procedures, calibration

requirements , internal QC checks, data reduction and validation procedures, and sample custody

requirements for each sampling/analytical activity. It also addresses general QA/QC

considerations such as:

Data recording;

Documentation procedures;

Project organization a nd responsibilities;

Preventative maintenance operations;

Reporting requirements; and

Corrective action mechanisms.

In addition to these general considerations, the QAPjP specifies schedules for

performance and the duration of sampling (especially for st ack gas samples) to provide adequate

method detection limits to demonstrate compliance with the metals emission standard s. The

QAPjP also devotes considerable attention to the internal QC checks that will be used to ensure

that the measurement data meet da ta quality requirements

. These QC checks include procedures

such as:

Daily calibration of analytical instruments;

Calibration of sampling equipment and apparatus; and5

- 14 Analytical checks using QC standards to assess bias and precision.

The following secti ons present a brief overview of the QA/QC activities that are an

integral part of the stack test program

. Table 5

- 4 lists specific QA/QC activities that will be

performed.

2 Field blanks for gas samples are recovered from assembled trains that have bee n leak checked but through

which no gas sample has passed.

3 Trip blanks consist of applicable filters, sorbents, and solutions. These will be analyzed only if necessary based

on field blank analysis results.

4 Field duplicates will be collected as dup licate sets of subsamples used to prepare the composite sample.

5 Field duplicate will be collected of the liquid waste only in the CPT of each unit.

6 Matrix spiked samples will be spiked prior to sample preparation (digestion/extraction), except for me tals train

samples, which will be spiked following digestion.

7 MS/MSD for chlorine only.

5.4.1 Sampling QA/QC

The QAPjP prescribes QC procedures to be implemented during all sampling activities

and specifies guidelines for:5

- 15 Equipment calibration;

Sampl ing protocol; and

Sample handling techniques.

The checkout and calibration of sampling equipment is an important function in

maintaining data quality

. Referenced calibration procedures are prescribed, and the results will

be properly documented and retai ned. Calibrations will be performed prior to field deployment.

Sampling techniques to be used during the Comprehensive Performance Test will be EPA

references

. Sample collection will be done in accordance with the methods prescribed in the

QAPjP

. The QA p rocedure checks will include the use of standard data forms and source

sampling data sheet checklists

. Other checks will include performance of the following:

Visual inspections of sampling systems;

System leak checks before and after sampling;

Heating system checks;

Impinger ice checks;

Isokinetic sampling rate checks; and

Daily data review and calculation checks.

After the samples have been properly obtained in the field, their subsequent handling

during transfer to the analytical laboratorie s becomes an important factor in the successful

performance of a stac k test program

. All collected samples will be labeled with adequate

descriptions of the samples to prevent confusion among multiple samples

. Samples will be

inventoried against logbook re cords before shipment

. All sample container closures will be taped

to ensure against sample leakage during shipment

. The frequency of performance of specific

activities for this stack testing is presented in Table 5

5.4.2 Procedures for Analytical Quality Control

A regime of analytical QA/QC is specified in the QAPjP

. The procedures will use various

checks to determine the validity of analyses

. These include:

Calibration standards;

Certified standa rds;

In

- lab standards;

Blanks;

Spikes; and

Replicates.

QA begins with the sample log and continues through the reporting of data

. The unique

identifying number assigned in the field and recorded in the sample log facilitates tracking and5

used to monitor samples through analytical laboratories.

Chemical characterization of emission and process samples will be performed using

standard wet

- chemistry , IC, ICPES, AAS, and GC/MS techniques

. The accuracy and precision of

analyses will be documented through the QA/QC programs specified in the QAPjP

. Accuracy

will be evaluated by analyzing standards and blank and spiked samples

. Precision data will be

reported for mat rix spike duplicates, analytical duplicate samples, and surrogate spikes.
