### I. Introduction

On March 21, 2011, the U.S. Environmenta l Protection Agency (EPA) established emission guidelines and compliance times for existing Sewage Sludge Incineration (SSI) units. The emission guidelines and compliance times are codified in 40 CFR 60, Subpart MMMM, which can be referenced in Appendix A. The Clean Air Act requires that state regulatory agencies implement the emissi on guidelines and compliance times using a state plan developed under sec tions 111(d) and 129 of the Cl ean Air Act. Section 111(d) establishes general requirements and procedures on state plan submittals for the control of designated pollutants. Sec tion 111(d) allows for the i ndividual unit’s useful life expectancy to be taken into account with regards to the final compliance date; however, section 129 does not. Section 129 requires emis sion guidelines to be promulgated for all categories of solid waste incineration units , including SSI’s. S ection 129 overrides the flexible nature of section 111(d), in that it ma ndates that all plan requirements be at least as protective and restrictive as the promulga ted emission guidelines. This includes fixed final compliance date, fixed compliance schedules and title V permitting requirements for all affected sources. Section 129 also requi res that state plans be submitted to EPA within one (1) year after EPA’s promulgati on of the emission guidelines and compliance

times.

State plans must contain specific informati on and the legal mechanisms necessary to implement the emission guidelines and compliance times. The requirements as codified

in 40 CFR 60.5015 are as follows.

• A demonstration of the state's legal author ity to carry out the sections 111(d) and 129 state plan and identification of enforceable mechanisms for implementation.

• An inventory of sources in the stat e affected by the emission guidelines, including to the best of the state's knowle dge, SSI units that have shut down and are capable of restarting.

• An inventory of emissions information for affected SSI units operating in the

state.

• Emission limits, emission standards, operator training and qualification requirements, and operating limits for aff ected SSI units that are at least as protective as the emission guidelines.

• Compliance schedules for all affected SSI units, with a final compliance date no later than March 21, 2016 or th ree (3) years after the effective date of state plan approval, whichever is earlier.

• Testing, monitoring, and inspection requirement s at least as protective as those in the emission guidelines.2 • Performance testing, reporting, and reco rdkeeping requirements at least as protective as those in the emission guidelines.

• Certification that the public hearing on the state plan was held, a list of witnesses and their organizational aff iliations, if any, appearing at the hearing, and a brief written summary of each presentation or written submission.

• Provision for state prog ress reports to EPA.

Prior to submittal to EPA, the state must make available to the public the state plan and provide opportunity for public comment. The st ate must submit the final plan to EPA. The EPA then has one year to approve or di sapprove the state plan. Plan approval or disapproval will be published in the Federal Re gister. If a plan is disapproved, EPA will state the reason for disapproval in the Federal Register and give the state the opportunity to respond to EPA’s concerns and submit a revised plan.



### II. Demonstration of Legal Authority and Identification of Enforceable State Mechanism for Implementing the Emission Guidelines.

The Air Conservation Commission of the State of Missouri is the air pollution control agency for the state. The commission was created to maintain the purity of the air resources of the state to protect the health, general welfare, and physical property of the people, maximum employment, and the full industrial development of the state by preventing, abating, and controlling air pollu tion by all practical and economically feasible methods. The Missouri Air Conservation Commission, more commonly referred to as the Commission or MACC, has the au thority, pursuant to chapter 536, Revised Statutes of Missouri (RSMo), to promulgate rules and regulations to establish standards and guidelines to ensure that the State of Missouri is in co mpliance with the provisions of the federal Clean Air Act. The specific pow ers and duties of the MACC are outlined in section 643.050, RSMo. A copy of the Misso uri Air Conservation Law, sections 643.010-643.070, RSMo, can be found in Appendix B.

The State of Missouri will use a state rulemaki ng as the legal instrume nt to enforce these emission guidelines and compliance times. Missour i’s state rule incor porates by reference the promulgated emission guidelines and model rule; therefore it is as protective as the federal regulation. The state rule is 10 CSR 10-6.191 Sewage Sludge Incinerators. This rule will apply to the entire state. A copy of the state rule, as pub lished in the Code of State Regulations (CSR) on April 30, 2013, can be found in Appendix C. This rule’s effective date is May 30, 2013.



### III. Source Inventory of Affected Se wage Sludge Incinerators.

The emission guidelines in this plan apply to existing SSI units for which construction commenced on or before October 14, 2010. The a pplicability of affected units is detailed3 in 10 CSR 10-6.191 section (1), found in Appendix C. The definition of sewage sludge incineration unit is defined for this pu rpose in section (2) of 10 CSR 10-6.191, in Appendix C. Any exemptions are also de tailed in section (1) of 10 CSR 10-6.191. The emission guidelines apply to both fluidized bed and multiple hearth process designs of incinerators, specifically one s designed to incinerate sewage sludge located at a wastewater treatment facility.

Source inventory information was initially ge nerated using the EPA’ s inventory database as promulgated with the federal rulemaking. EPA’s database is comprised of information collection requests and surveys that were co mpiled using a base year of 2009. The EPA

created this database to determine the baseline emissions for existing units at the time of promulgation.

The Air Pollution Control Program (Air Program) maintains an emission inventory database for the purposes of air resource planning, permitting, and compliance. The database contains equipment and emission in formation for facilities with construction and/or operating permits. The data is collected via annual Emission Inventory Questionnaires (EIQs), is quality assured fo r use by the Air Program, and the data is forwarded to EPA according to the requireme nts of the Air Emissions Reporting Rule (AERR). The Air Program’s database was queried for Waste Water Treatment Plants/Facilities (WWTP/WWTF) having sewage sludge incine rators and then checked for applicability with the emission guidelines . The affected source lists from the Air Program’s inventory and the EPA’s da tabase were consistent.

The Air Program also contacted other progr ams within the Division of Environmental Quality, including the Solid Waste Management Program, the Hazardous Waste Management Program, the Water Pollution C ontrol Program, regiona l/satellite offices, and local agencies to verify that all sources potentially aff ected by the emission guidelines were included in the inventory. No additional sources were identified in this

communication.

A listing of the affected s ources is shown in the following table, Table 1. The information includes: facility name, site name, State ID, FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) ID, Plant ID, address, process type and number of units. There are currently 4 facilities with 14 incineration units affected by this regula tion in the State of

Missouri.

64053 Jackson 1 Fluidized Bed4 Little Blue Valley (095-0186) , Atherton WWTP’s SSI (EU6), was identified by EPA in its 2009 inventory. It has been removed from th e affected source inventory as the facility is removing the existing SSI (EU6) from operation and replacing it with a new SSI (EU16). This is stated in the Cons truction Permit # 082011-003, which was signed and became effective on August 9, 2011. An excerpt from Permit # 082011-003 states,

“ The existing coal-fired sewage sludge incinera tor has a capacity of 36 dry tons per day (dtpd) and was designed for a 40 MGD (m illion gallons/day) wastewater treatment facility. In 2003, the AWWTP received a cons truction permit to increase the capacity of the wastewater treatment process from 40 MGD to 52 MGD. The AWWTP has forecasted that the facility will reach 52 MGD by 2020. In order to meet this demand, the AWWTP has proposed to replace its 36 dtpd in cinerator with a 72 dtpd fluidized bed incinerator (EU16) that utilizes natural gas and diesel as supplementary fuels. The maximum hourly design rate of the incinera tor will be 3.0 dry tons sewage sludge per hour. As a result of this project, the existing Zimpro LPO system and the sewage sludge incinerator (E06) that uses coal as a supplemental fuel will be removed from operation.” The new incinerator, EU 16, will be regulat ed by the NSPS (New Source Performance Standards), 40 CFR 60, Subpart LLLL, and is therefore not include d in this 111(d)/129 plan.

Maps depicting the locations of affected s ources are included for reference in Appendix

F.



### IV. Emission Inventory of Affected Sewage Sludge Incinerators.

An emissions inventory is included for the ap plicable incinerators. Calculations utilize emission factors and throughputs provided in the facilities’ annual Emissions Inventory Questionnaires (EIQ). In some cases the emission factors were taken from the EPA document AP-42, Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors , Fifth Edition, Section 2.2 “Sewage Sludge Incineration” (January 1995), and the EPA’s webFIRE, Factor Information Retrieval System. All verified, site specific emission factors (such as from stack testing/CEMS) were used first, with the AP-42 factors being used when site specific factors were unavailable. For ease of reference, all of the emission factors utilized in the

emissions calculations are included in Appendix D.

The total annual throughput for each facility, in tons of sludge per year, and emission factor, in pounds of pollutant per ton of sl udge, were used to cal culate annual actual emissions, in tons per year. Most facilities s upply this information via their EIQ, which is required to be submitted and/or updated annua lly depending on facility permit type.

All of the values used for this plan are based on the 2011 calendar year of emissions. Submitted EIQ data was verified with the individual affected sources through phone communication with the Air Quality Analysis (AQA) section of the Air Program in August 2012. This was done as a quality assu rance check of the data used for this emission inventory, to update source informa tion and to document any changes made to the source emission inventory. The total annual actual emissions for the affected sources are included in the following table, Table 2. The pollutants accounted for in the emission5 inventory are: particulate matter (PM), car bon monoxide (CO), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), hydrogen chloride (HCl), dioxins/furans (Total Mass Basis, TMB, or Toxic Equivale ncy, TEQ), and nitrogen oxides (NO

x ).

Table 2: Emission Inventory

Bissell Point (510-0053) has an incinerator, EP-0 2, that is reported as inactive, with its last reported active emissions ye ar being 2003; however, it is s till capable of restarting. Therefore, if Bissell Point restarts EP-02 (In cinerator 1), it will also be regulated by the emission guidelines in this plan and the corr esponding state rule. If the incinerator is restarted, it will need to be in compliance by the final compliance date or the unit’s startup date, whichever is late r. It would also be require d to meet the increments of progress if it is restarted be fore the final compliance date. The exact requirements that apply to this situation can be found in sect ion 60.5120 of the Model Rule, in Appendix A.



### V. Emission Limits.

Rule 10 CSR 10-6.191 and this plan establish em ission limits for all nine (9) designated pollutants listed in the emission guidelines. Th ese pollutants, as listed in the emission inventory, are: PM, CO, Cd, Pb, Hg, SO 2 , HCl, dioxins/furans (TMB or TEQ), and NO

x . All of the limits are in units of concentra tion. Missouri’s sewage sludge incinerator rule is at least as protective as the emission guidelines because it prim arily incorporates by reference the federal emission guidelines at 40 CFR 60, Subpart MMMM. As required by section 129 of the Clean Air Act, the emissi on limits are identical to those listed in the promulgated emission guidelines. These em ission limits are found in subsection (3)(C) of rule 10 CSR 10-6.191, located in Appendi x C. Table 3 summarizes the emission

limits for all units as follows. Site/Unit ID Process Type PM Pb Cd Hg PCDD/PCDF (TMB) HCl NOx SO2 CO

Referencing 76 FR 15372 (as promulgated March 21, 2011)

INTRODUCTION

60.5000 What is the purpose of this subpart? This subpart establishes emission guidelines and compliance schedules for the control of emissions from sewage sludge incineration ( SSI) units. The pollutants addressed by these emission guidelines are listed in Tables 2 a nd 3 to 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. To the extent any requi rement of this subpart is inconsistent with the requirements of subpart A of this part, the requirements of this subpart will apply.

60.5005 Am I affected by this subpart? (a) If you are the Administrator of an air qua lity program in a state or United States protectorate with one or more SSI units that commenced construction on or before October 14, 2010, you must submit a state plan to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that implements the emission gui delines contained in this subpart. (b) You must submit the state plan to EPA by March 21, 2012.

60.5010 Is a state plan required for all states? No. You are not required to submit a state plan if there are no SSI units for which construction commenced on or before October 14, 2010 in your state, and you submit a negative declaration letter in place of the state plan.

60.5015 What must I include in my state plan? (a) You must include the nine items descri bed in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(9) of this section in your state plan. (1) Inventory of affected SSI units, includ ing those that have ceased operation but

have not been dismantled. (2) Inventory of emissions from af fected SSI units in your state. (3) Compliance schedules for each affected SSI unit. (4) Emission limits, emission standards, operator training and qualification requirements, and operating limits for affected SSI units that are at least as protective as the emission guidelines c ontained in this subpart. (5) Performance testing, recordk eeping, and reporting requirements. (6) Certification that the hearing on the st ate plan was held, a list of witnesses and their organizational affiliati ons, if any, appearing at the hearing, and a brief written summary of each presentation or written submission. (7) Provision for state pr ogress reports to EPA. (8) Identification of enforceable state mech anisms that you selected for implementing the emission guidelines of this subpart. (9) Demonstration of your state’s legal aut hority to carry out the sections 111(d) and 129 state plan.11 (b) Your state plan may deviate from the format and content of the emission guidelines contained in this s ubpart. However, if your state pl an 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, incremen ts of progress for retrofit, ope rator training a nd qualification, emission limits and standards, performa nce testing, operating limits, monitoring, and recordkeeping and reporting. (c) You must follow the requirements of subpart B of this part (Adoption and Submittal of state plans for Designate d Facilities) in your state plan.

60.5020 Is there an approval process for my state plan? Yes. The EPA will review your state plan according to § 60.27.

60.5025 What if my state plan is not approvable? If you do not submit an approvable state plan (or a negative declar ation letter) by March 21, 2013, EPA will develop a Federal plan according to § 60.27 to implement the emission guidelines contained in this subpart . Owners and operators of SSI 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 wi thdrawn when your state plan is approved.

60.5030 Is there an approval process for a negative declaration letter? No. The EPA has no formal review process for negative declarati on letters. Once your negative declaration letter has been recei ved, EPA will place a copy in the public docket and publish a notice in the FEDERAL REGISTER. If, at a later date, a SSI unit for which

construction commenced on or before Oct ober 14, 2010 is found in your state, the Federal plan implementing the emission guide lines contained in this subpart would automatically apply to that SSI unit until your state plan is approved.

60.5035 What compliance schedule must I include in my state plan? (a) For SSI units that commenced constr uction on or before October 14, 2010, your state plan must include compliance schedules that require SSI units to achieve final compliance as expeditiously as practicable af ter approval of the state plan but not later than the earlier of the two dates specified in paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)( 2) of this section. (1) March 21, 2016. (2) Three years after the effectiv e date of state plan approval. (b) For compliance schedules that extend 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 § 60.5090.

60.5040 Are there any state plan requirements fo r this subpart that apply instead of the requirements specified in subpart B? Yes. Subpart B establishes general requireme nts for developing and processing section 111(d) state plans. This subpart applies instead of the requirements in subpart B of this part, as specified in 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 requ ire all SSI units to12 comply by the dates specified in § 60.5035. This applies instead of the option for caseby-case less stringent emission standards and longer compliance schedules in § 60.24(f). (b) State plans developed to implement th is subpart are required to include two increments of progress for the affected SSI units. These two minimum increments are the final control plan submittal date and final co mpliance date in § 60.21(h)(1) and (5). This applies instead of the requirement of § 60.24( e)(1) that would requi re a state plan to

include all five increments of progress for all SSI units.

60.5045 In lieu of a state plan submittal, are there other accepta ble option(s) for a

state to meet its 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 th e Federal plan that meets the requirements

of this section. This is the only other option for a stat e to meet its 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 § 60.5015(a)(1), (a)(2), and (a)(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 hear ing, and a brief written summary of each presentation or written submission. (4) A commitment to enter into a Memo randum of Agreement with the Regional Administrator that sets forth the terms, c onditions, and effective date of the delegation

and that serves as the mechanism for the tr ansfer of authority. Additional guidance and information is given in EPA’s Delega tion 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 SSI Clean Air Act section 111(d)/129 state plan is not precluded from receiving EPA approva l of a delegation request for the revised Federal plan, provided the require ments of paragraph (a) of th is section are met, and at the time of the delegation reque st, the state also requests wi thdrawal 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.

60.5050 What authorities will not be delegated to state, local, or tribal agencies?

The authorities that will not be delegated to state, local, or tribal agencies are specified in paragraphs (a) through (g ) of this section. (a) Approval of alternatives to the emission limits and standards in Tables 2 and 3 to this subpart and operating limits established under § 60.5175 or § 60.5190. (b) Approval of major altern atives to test methods. (c) Approval of major alternatives to monitoring. (d) Approval of major alternatives to recordkeeping and reporting. (e) The requirements in § 60.5175. (f) The requirements in § 60.5155(b)(2). (g) Performance test and data reduction waivers under § 60.8(b).13 60.5055 Does this subpart directly affect SSI unit owners and operators in my state? (a) No. This subpart does not directly aff ect SSI unit owners and operators in your state. However, SSI unit owners and operato rs must comply with the state plan you develop to implement the emission guideline s 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 by March 21, 2012, EPA will implement and enforce a Federal plan, as provided in § 60.5025, to ensure that each unit within your state that commenced construction on or before October 14, 2010 reac hes compliance with a ll the provisions of this subpart by the dates specified in § 60.5035.

APPLICABILITY OF STATE PLANS

60.5060 What SSI units must I address in my state plan? (a) Your state plan must address SSI units that meet all three criteria described in paragraphs (a)(1) through (3) of this section. (1) SSI units in your state that commen ced construction on or before October 14,

2010. (2) SSI units that meet the definiti on of a SSI unit as defined in § 60.5250. (3) SSI units not exempt under § 60.5065. (b) If the owner or operator of a SSI unit makes changes that meet the definition of modification after September 21, 2011, the SSI unit becomes subject to subpart LLLL of this part and the state plan no longer applies to that unit. (c) If the owner or operator of a SSI unit makes physical or operational changes to a

SSI unit for which construction commenced on or before September 21, 2011 primarily to comply with your state plan, subpart LLLL of this part does not apply to that unit. Such changes do not qualify as modificati ons under subpart LLLL of this part.

60.5065 What SSI units are exempt from my state plan? This subpart exempts combusti on units that incinerate sewa ge sludge and are not located

at a wastewater treatment fac ility designed to treat domes tic sewage sludge. These units may be subject to another subpart of this part (e.g., subpart CCCC of this part). The owner or operator of such a combustion unit must notify the Administrator of an exemption claim under this section.

USE OF MODEL RULE

60.5070 What is the ‘‘model rule’’ in this subpart? (a) The model rule is the portion of these emission guidelines (§§ 60.5085 through 60.5250) that addresses the regulatory requireme nts applicable to SSI units. The model rule provides these requirements in regulation format. You must devel op a state plan that is at least as protective as the model rule. Y ou may use the model rule language as part of your state plan. Alternative language may be us ed in your state plan if you demonstrate that the alternative language is at least as pr otective as the model ru le contained in this subpart.14 (b) In the model rule of §§ 60.5085 through 60.5250, ‘‘you’’ and ‘‘Administrator’’ have the meaning specified in § 60.5250.

60.5075 How does the model rule relate to th e required elements of my state plan? Use the model rule to satisfy the state pl an requirements specified in § 60.5015(a)(3) through (a)(5).

must be conducted no later than 12 m onths following the previous review.

MODEL RULE—EMISSION LIMITS , EMISSION STANDARDS, AND OPERATING LIMITS AND REQUIREMENTS

60.5165 What emission limits and standa rds must I meet and by when?

You must meet the emission limits and standards specified in Ta ble 2 or 3 to this subpart by the final compliance date under the approved state plan, Federal plan, or delegation, as applicable. The emission limits and standards apply at all times th e unit is operating and during periods of malfunction. The emission limits and standards apply to emissions from a bypass stack or vent while sewage sludge is in the combustion chamber (i.e., until the sewage sludge feed to the combustor has b een cut off for a period of time not less than the sewage sludge incineration residence time).

60.5170 What operating limits and requirem ents must I meet and by when? You must meet, as applicable, the operat ing limits and requirements specified in paragraphs (a) through (d) and (h) of this sect ion, according to the schedule specified in paragraph (e) of this section. The operati ng parameters for which you will establish19 operating limits for a wet scrubber, fabric filt er, electrostatic precipitator, or activated carbon injection are listed in Table 4 to this subpart. You must comply with the operating requirements in paragraph (f) of this section a nd the requirements in paragraph (g) of this section for meeting any new operating limits , re-established in Sec. 60.5210. The operating limits apply at all times that sewage sludge is in the combustion chamber (i.e., until the sewage sludge feed to the combusto r has been cut off for a period of time not less than the sewage sludge incineration residence time).

(a) You must meet a site-specific operati ng limit for minimum operating temperature

of the combustion chambe r (or afterburner combus tion chamber) that you

establish in Sec. 60.5190. (b) If you use a wet scrubber, electrostatic precipitator, activated carbon injection, or afterburner to comply with an emissi on limit, you must meet the site-specific operating limits that you establish in Sec. 60.5190 for each operating parameter associated with each air pollution control device. (c) If you use a fabric filter to comply with the emission limits, you must install the bag leak detection system specified in Sec. Sec. 60.5200(b) and 60.5225(b)(3)(i) and operate the bag leak de tection system such that the alarm does not sound more than 5 percent of the operating time during a 6-month period. You must calculate the alarm time as speci fied in Sec. 0.5210(a)(2)(i). (d) You must meet the operating requirement s in your site-specific fugitive emission monitoring plan, submitted as specified in Sec. 60.5200(d) to ensure that your ash handling system will meet the emission st andard for fugitive emissions from ash handling. (e) You must meet the operati ng limits and requirements specified in paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section by the final compliance date under the approved state plan, Federal plan, or de legation, as applicable. (f) You must monitor the feed rate and moisture content of the sewage sludge fed to the sewage sludge incinerator, as specifie d in paragraphs (f)(1) and (f)(2) of this

section. (1) Continuously monitor the sewage slu dge feed rate and calculate a daily average for all hours of operation du ring each 24-hour period. Keep a record of the daily average feed rate, as specified in Sec. 60.5230(f)(3)(ii). (2) Take at least one grab sample per day of the sewage sludge fed to the sewage sludge incinerator. If you take more than one grab sample in a day, calculate the daily average for the grab samples. Keep a record of the daily average moisture content, as spec ified in Sec. 60.5230(f)(3)(ii). (g) For the operating limits and requirements specified in paragraphs (a) through (d) and (h) of this section, y ou must meet any new operating limits and requirements, re-established according to Sec. 60.5210(d). (h) If you use an air pollution control device other than a wet scrubber, fabric filter, electrostatic precipitator, or activated carbon injec tion to comply with the

emission limits in Table 2 or 3 to this subpart, you must meet any site-specific operating limits or requirements that you establish as require d in Sec. 60.5175.20 60.5175 How do I establish operating limits if I do not use a wet scrubber, fabric filter, electrostatic precipitat or, activated carbon injection, or afterburner, or if I limit emissions in some other manner, to comply with the emission limits? If you use an air pollution control device ot her than a wet scrubber, fabric filter, electrostatic precipitator, activ ated carbon injection, or afterb urner, or limit emissions in

some other manner (e.g., materials balance) to comply with the emission limits in Sec. 60.5165, you must meet the requirements in paragra phs (a) and (b) of this section. (a) Meet the applicable operating limits and requirements in Sec. 60.4850, and establish applicable operating limits according to Sec. 60.5190. (b) Petition the Administrator for specifi c operating parameters, operating limits, and averaging periods to be esta blished during the in itial performance test and to be monitored continuously thereafter. (1) You are responsible for submitting any supporting information in a timely

manner to enable the Administrator to consider the application prior to the performance test. You must not conduc t the initial performance test until after the petition has been approved by the Administrator, and you must comply with the operating limits as written, pending approval by the Administrator. Neither submittal of an application, nor the Administrator's failure to approve or disapprove the application relieves you of the responsibility to comply with any provision of this subpart. (2) Your petition must include the five items listed in pa ragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (b)(2)(v) of this section. (i) Identification of the specific parameters you propose to monitor. (ii) A discussion of the relations hip between these parameters and emissions of regulated pollutant s, identifying ho w emissions of regulated pollutants change with changes in these parameters, and how limits on these parameters will serve to limit emissions of regulated pollutants. (iii) A discussion of how you will establish the upper and/or lower values for these parameters that will establish the operating limits on these parameters, including a discussion of the averaging periods associated with thos e parameters for determining compliance. (iv) 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. (v) A discussion identifying the frequency and methods for recalibrating the instruments you will use for monitoring these

parameters.

60.5180 Do the emission limits, emission standards, and operating limits apply during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction?21 The emission limits and standards apply at all times and during pe riods of malfunction. The operating limits apply at all times that sewage sludge is in the combustion chamber (i.e., until the sewage sludge feed to the combustor has been cut off for a period of time not less than the sewage sludge incineration residence time). For determining compliance with the CO concentration limit using CO CEMS, the correction to 7 percent oxygen does not apply during periods of start up or shutdown. Use the measured CO

concentration without correc ting for oxygen concentration in averaging with other CO concentrations (corrected to 7 percent O2 ) to determine the 24-hour average value.

60.5181 How do I establish an affirmative de fense for exceedance of an emission limit or standard during malfunction? In response to an action to enforce the numerical emission standards set forth in paragraph Sec. 60.5165, you may assert an a ffirmative defense to a claim for civil penalties for exceedances of emission limits th at are caused by malfunction, as defined in Sec. 60.2. Appropriate penalties may be a ssessed however, if you fail to meet your burden of proving all of the requirements in the affirmative defense. The affirmative

defense shall not be available fo r claims for injunctive relief. (a) To establish the affirmative defense in any action to enforce such a limit, you must timely meet the notification requirem ents in paragraph (b) of this section, and must prove by a preponderance of evid ence that the conditions in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(9) of this section are met. (1) The excess emissions: (i) Were caused by a sudden, infre quent, and unavoidable failure of air pollution control and m onitoring equipment, process equipment, or a process to opera te in a normal or usual manner,

and (ii) Could not have been prevente d through careful planning, proper design or better operation and maintenance practices, and (iii) Did not stem from any activity or event that could have been foreseen and avoided, or planned for, and (iv) Were not part of a recurring pattern indicative of inadequate design, operation, or maintenance, and (2) Repairs were made as expeditious ly as possible when the applicable emission limits were being exceeded. Off-shift and overtime labor were used, to the extent practicable to make these repairs, and (3) The frequency, amount and duration of the excess emissions (including any bypass) were minimized to the maximum extent practicable during periods of such emissions, and (4) If the excess emissions resulted fr om a bypass of control equipment or a process, then the bypass was unavoidabl e to prevent loss of life, personal injury, or severe property damage, and (5) All possible steps were taken to minimize the impact of the excess emissions on ambient air quality, the environment and human health, and (6) All emissions monitoring and control sy stems were kept in operation if at all possible consistent with safety and good air pollution control practices,

and22 (7) All of the actions in response to the excess emissions were documented by properly signed, contemporan eous operating logs, and (8) At all times, the affected facility was operated in a manner consistent with good practices for minimizing emissions, and (9) A written root cause analysis has been prepared the purpose of which is to determine, correct, and eliminate th e primary causes of the malfunction and the excess emissions resulting fro m the malfunction event at issue. The analysis shall also specify, using best monitoring methods and engineering judgment, the amount of ex cess emissions that were the result

of the malfunction. (b) The owner or operator of the SSI unit experiencing an exceedance of its emission limit(s) during a malfunc tion, shall notify the Administrator by telephone or facsimile (fax) transmission as soon as po ssible, but no later than 2 business days

after the initial occu rrence of the malfuncti on, if it wishes to avail itself of an affirmative defense to civil penalties fo r that malfunction. The owner or operator seeking to assert an affirmative defense shall also submit a written report to the Administrator within 45 days of the init ial occurrence of the exceedance of the

standard in Sec. 60.5165 to demonstr ate, with all necessary supporting documentation, that it has met the requirement s set forth in paragraph (a) of this section. The owner or operator may seek an extension of this deadline for up to 30 additional days by submitting a written re quest to the Administrator before the expiration of the 45 day period. Until a request for an extension has been approved by the Administrator, the ow ner or operator is subject to the requirement to submit such report within 45 days of the initial occurrence of the

exceedance.

MODEL RULE—INITIAL COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS

60.5185 How and when do I demonstrate initial compliance with the emission limits

and standards? To demonstrate initial compliance with the em ission limits and standards in Table 2 or 3 to this subpart, use the procedur es specified in paragraph (a) of this section.

(d) Submit an initial compliance repo rt, as specified in Sec. 60.5235(b). (e) If you demonstrate initial compliance us ing the performance test specified in paragraph (a) of this section, then the pr ovisions of this para graph (e) apply. If a force majeure is about to occur, occurs , or has occurred for which you intend to assert a claim of force majeure, you must notify the Administrator in writing as specified in Sec. 60.5235(g). You must conduct the initial performance test as soon as practicable after the force majeure occurs. The Administrator will determine whether or not to grant the ex tension to the initial performance test deadline, and will notify you in writing of approval or disapproval of the request for an extension as soon as practicable. Un til an extension of the performance test deadline has been approved by the Administ rator, you remain strictly subject to the requirements of this subpart.

MODEL RULE—CONTINUOUS CO MPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS34 60.5205 How and when do I demonstrate cont inuous compliance with the emission

limits and standards? To demonstrate continuous compliance with the emission limits and standards specified in Table 2 or 3 to this subpa rt, use the procedures specified in paragraph (a) of this section. In lieu of using the procedures speci fied in paragraph (a ) of this section, you have the option to demonstrate initial comp liance using the procedures specified in paragraph (b) of this section for particul ate matter, hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, dioxins/furans (total mass basis or toxic e quivalency basis), merc ury, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, cadmium, lead, and fugitive em issions from ash handling. You must meet the requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section, as applicable, and paragraphs (c) through (e) of this section, according to the performance testing, monitoring, and calibration requirements in § 60.5220(a) and (b). You may also petition the Administrator fo r alternative monitoring parameters as specified in paragraph (f) of this section. (a) Demonstrate continuous compliance using a performance test. Except as provided in paragraphs (a)(3) and (e) of this se ction, following the date that the initial performance test for each pollutant in Ta ble 2 or 3 to this subpart is completed, you must conduct a performance test for each such pollutant on an annual basis (between 11 and 13 calendar months follo wing the previous performance test). The performance test must be conducte d using the test methods, averaging methods, and minimum sampling volumes or durations specified in Table 2 or 3 to this subpart and according to the testing, monitoring, and calibration requirements specified in § 60.5220(a). (1) You may conduct a repeat performan ce test at any time to establish new values for the operating limits to apply from that point forward. 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 § 60.5250. (3) Except as specified in paragraphs (a )(1) and (2) of this section, you can conduct performance tests less often for a given pollutant, as specified in paragraphs (a)(3)(i) through (iii) of this section. (i) You can conduct performance test s less often if your performance tests for the pollutant for at leas t 2 consecutive years show that your emissions are at or below 75 percent of the emission limit specified in Table 2 or 3 to this subpart, and there are no changes in the operation of the affected source or air pollution control equipment that could increase emi ssions. In this case, you do not have to conduct a performance test for that pollutant for the next 2 years. You must conduct a performa nce test during the third year and no more than 37 months after the previous performance test. (ii) If your SSI unit continues to meet the emission limit for the pollutant, you may choose to c onduct performance tests for the pollutant every third year if your emissions are at or below 75 percent of the emission limit, a nd if there are no changes in the operation of the affected source or air pollution control equipment35 that could increase emissions, but ea ch such performance test must

be conducted no more than 37 months after the previous performance test. (iii) If a performance test shows emissions exceeded 75 percent of the emission limit for a pollutant, you must conduct annual performance tests for that pollutant until all performance tests over 2 consecutive years show compliance. (b) Demonstrate continuous compliance us ing a continuous emissions monitoring system or continuous automated sampling system. The option to use a continuous emissions monitoring system for hydrogen chloride, dioxins/furans, cadmium, or

lead takes effect on the date a final performance specification applicable to hydrogen chloride, dioxins/furans, cadm ium, or lead is published in the FEDERAL REGISTER. The option to us e a continuous automated sampling system for dioxins/furans takes effe ct on the date a final performance specification for such a continuous automated sampling system is published in the

FEDERAL REGISTER. Collect data as specified in § 60.5220(b)(6) and use the following procedures: (1) To demonstrate continuous comp liance with the emission limits for particulate matter, hydrogen chlori de, carbon monoxide, dioxins/furans (total mass basis or toxic equivale ncy basis), mercury, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, cadmium, and lead , you may substitute the use of a continuous monitoring system in lieu of conducting the annual performance test required in paragra ph (a) of this section, as follows: (i) You may substitute the use of a continuous emissions monitoring system for any pollutant specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section in lieu of conducting the annual performance test for that pollutant in paragraph (a) of this section. For determining compliance with the carbon monoxi de concentration limit using carbon monoxide CEMS, the correction to 7 percent oxygen does not apply during periods of start up or shutdown. Use the measured

carbon monoxide concentration without correcting for oxygen concentration in averagi ng with other carbon monoxide concentrations (corrected to 7 percent oxygen) to determine the 24- hour average value.

of this section. (2) If you use a continuous emissions monitoring system to demonstrate compliance with an applicable emissi on limit in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, you must use the continuous emissions monitoring system and follow the requirements specified in § 60.5220(b). You must measure emissions according to § 60.13 to calcu late 1-hour arithmetic averages, corrected to 7 percent oxygen (or carbon dioxide). You must demonstrate initial compliance using a 24-hour block average of these 1-hour36 arithmetic average emission concentrat ions, calculated using Equation 19– 19 in section 12.4.1 of Method 19 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A–7. (3) If you use a continuous automated sampling system to demonstrate compliance with an applicable emissi on limit in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, you must: (i) Use the continuous automated sampling system specified in § 60.58b(p) and (q), and measure a nd calculate average emissions corrected to 7 percent oxygen (o r carbon dioxide) according to § 60.58b(p) and your monitoring plan.

as follows: (A) If inspection of the fabric filter demonstrates that no corrective action is require d, no alarm time is counted. (B) If corrective action is requi red, each alarm time shall be

counted as a minimum of 1 hour. (C) If you take longer than 1 hour to initiate corrective action, each alarm time (i.e., time that the alarm sounds) is counted as the actual amount of time taken by you to initiate

corrective action. (ii) Your maximum alarm time is e qual to 5 percent of the operating time during a 6-month period, as specified in § 60.5170(c).38 (b) Operation above the established maximu m, below the established minimum, or outside the allowable range of the operati ng limits specified in paragraph (a) of

this section constitutes a deviation from your operati ng limits established under this subpart, except during performance te sts conducted to determine compliance with the emission and operating limits or to establish new operating limits. You must submit the deviation report specifie d in § 60.5235(d) for each instance that you did not meet one of your operating lim its established under this subpart.

MODEL RULE—PERFORMANCE TESTING, MONITORING, AND CALIBRATION REQUIREMENTS

60.5220 What are the performance testing, monitoring, and calibration requirements for compliance with th e emission limits and standards? You must meet, as applicab le, the performance testing requirements specified in paragraph (a) of this section, the monitoring requirements specified in paragraph (b) of this section, the air polluti on control device inspections requirements specified in paragraph (c) of this section, and the bypass st ack provisions specified in paragraph (d) of

this section. (a) Performance testing requirements. (1) All performance tests must consis t of a minimum of three test runs conducted under conditions represen tative of normal operations, as specified in § 60.8(c). Emissions in excess of the emission limits or39 standards during periods of star tup, shutdown, and malfunction are considered deviations from the applic able emission limits or standards. (2) You must document that the dry sludge burned during the performance test is representative of the sludge burned under normal operating conditions by: (i) Maintaining a log of the quant ity of sewage sludge burned during the performance test by continuously monitoring and recording the average hourly rate that sewage sl udge is fed to the incinerator. (ii) Maintaining a log of the moistu re content of the sewage sludge burned during the performance test by taking grab samples of the sewage sludge fed to the incine rator for each 8 hour period that testing is conducted. (3) All performance tests must be condu cted using the test methods, minimum sampling volume, observation period, and averaging method specified in Table 2 or 3 to this subpart. (4) Method 1 at 40 CFR part 60, appendi x A must be used to select the sampling location and number of traverse points. (5) Method 3A or 3B at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A–2 must be used for gas composition analysis, including meas urement of oxygen concentration. Method 3A or 3B at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A–2 must be used simultaneously with each method. (6) All pollutant concentrations must be adjusted to 7 percent oxygen using Equation 1 of this section:

C adj = (C

meas (20.9 - 7)) ⁄ ((20.9 - %O 2 )) (Eq. 1)

Where:

C adj = Pollutant concentration ad justed to 7 percent oxygen.

Cmeas = Pollutant concentrati on measured on a dry basis. (20.9 - 7) = 20.9 percent oxygen - 7 percent oxygen (defined oxygen correction basis). 20.9 = Oxygen concentrati on in air, percent.

%O 2 = Oxygen concentration measur ed on a dry basis, percent. (7) Performance tests must be conducted and data reduced in accordance with the test methods and procedures cont ained in this subpart unless the Administrator does one of the following. (i) Specifies or approves, in specifi c cases, the use of a method with minor changes in methodology. (ii) Approves the use of an equivalent method. (iii) Approves the use of an alternat ive method the results of which he has determined to be adequate for indicating whether a specific source is in compliance. (iv) Waives the requirement for performance tests because you have demonstrated by other means to the Administrator’s satisfaction

that the affected SSI unit is in compliance with the standard. (v) Approves shorter sampling times and smaller sample volumes when necessitated by process variables or other factors. Nothing in40 this paragraph is construed to abrogate the Administrator’s authority to require testing under section 114 of the Clean Air Act. (8) You must provide the Administrator at least 30 days prior notice of any performance test, except as specified under other subparts, to afford the Administrator the opportunity to have an observer present. If after 30 days notice for an initially scheduled perfor mance test, there is a delay (due to operational problems, etc.) in conduc ting the scheduled performance test, you must notify the Administrator as s oon as possible of any delay in the original test date, either by providing at least 7 days prior notice of the rescheduled date of the performan ce test, or by arranging a rescheduled date with the Administrator by mutual agreement. (9) You must provide, or cause to be provided, performance testing facilities

as follows: (i) Sampling ports adequate for the te st methods applicable to the SSI unit, as follows: (A) Constructing the air pollution control system such that volumetric flow rates and pollu tant emission rates can be accurately determined by app licable test methods and procedures. (B) Providing a stack or duct free of cyclonic flow during performance tests, as demons trated by applicable test methods and procedures. (ii) Safe sampling platform(s). (iii) Safe access to sampling platform(s). (iv) Utilities for sampling and testing equipment. (10) Unless otherwise specified in this subpart, each performance test must consist of three separate runs using the applicable test method. Each run

must be conducted for the time and under the conditions specified in the applicable standard. Compliance with each emission limit must be determined by calculating the arithmetic mean of the three runs. In the event that a sample is accidentally lost or conditions occur in which one of the three runs must be discontinued because of forced shutdown, failure of an irreplaceable portion of the sa mple train, extreme meteorological conditions, or other circumstances, beyond your control, compliance may, upon the Administrator’s approval, be determined using the arithmetic

mean of the results of the two other runs. (11) During each test run specified in pa ragraph (a)(1) of this section, you must operate your sewage sludge incinera tor at a minimum of 85 percent of your maximum permitted capacity. (b) Continuous monitor requirements. You mu st meet the followi ng requirements, as applicable, when using a continuous monitoring system to demonstrate compliance with the emission limits in Table 2 or 3 to this subpart. The option to use a continuous emissions monitoring system for hydrogen chloride, dioxins/furans, cadmium, or lead takes effect on the date a final performance specification applicable to hydrogen chloride , dioxins/furans, cadmium, or lead is published in the FEDERAL REGISTER. If you elect to use a continuous41 emissions monitoring system instead of conducting annual performance testing, you must meet the requirem ents of paragraphs (b)(1 ) through (b)(6) of this section. If you elect to use a continuous automated sampling system instead of conducting annual performance testing, you must meet the requirements of paragraph (b)(7) of this section.

an alternative ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10–1981 (incorporated by reference, see § 60.17), as a pplicable, must be used. (5) You may request that compliance wi th the emission limits be determined using carbon dioxide measurements correct ed to an equivalent of 7 percent oxygen. If carbon dioxide is selected for use in diluent corrections, the relationship between oxygen and car bon dioxide levels must be established during the initi al performance test acco rding to the procedures and methods specified in paragraphs (b)(5)(i) through (b )(5)(iv) of this section. This relationship may be re-established during subsequent performance tests. (i) The fuel factor equation in Method 3B at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A–2 must be used to determine the relationship between oxygen and carbon dioxide at a sampling location. Method 3A or 3B at 50 CFR part 60, appendix A–2, or as an alternative ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10–1981 (incorporat ed by reference, see § 60.17), as applicable, must be used to determine the oxygen

concentration at the same locati on 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. (iv) A minimum of three runs must be performed.
