| Effluent Guidelines Notice of Data Availability for the Commercial Hazardous Waste Combustor         Subcategory of the Waste Combustors Point Source CategoryFact Sheet
EPA-821-F-99-011, April 1999

**Summary**

EPA is publishing a Notice of Data Availability for the Proposed Effluent         Limitations Guidelines and Pretreatment Standards ("effluent guidelines")         for the Industrial Waste Combustor Subcategory of the Waste Combustors         Point Source Category. The Notice provides a summary of new data received         following proposal of the effluent guidelines on February 6, 1998 (63         FR 6391). EPA solicits comments on the new data.

**Applicability of Proposed Rule**

EPA proposed effluent guidelines for Industrial Waste Combustor facilities,         defined as commercially-operating hazardous or non-hazardous industrial         waste combustors. Under the proposed rule, industrial waste combustor         facilities would be required to achieve concentration-based limitations         for air pollution control wastewater, slag quench and flue gas quench         produced as a result of their combustion operations. Other wastewaters         generated as a result of combustion operations would not be regulated         under the proposed rule.

**Summary of the New Data**

The Notice of Data Availability summarizes data EPA received in early         1999 from three Industrial Waste Combustor facilities. The new data consist         primarily of influent and effluent concentrations. EPA uses such data         to characterize the performance of wastewater treatment systems. EPA solicits         comments regarding the new data. The comment period will close 30 days         after publication.

**Additional Information**

For additional information concerning this rule, contact Ms. Samantha         Hopkins, Office of Water, Engineering and Analysis Division (4303), U.S.         Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street, SW, Washington, DC, 20460,         (202) 260-7149 or view the complete text of the *Federal         Register*         Notice.
