99.9999 percent for each POHC specified under condition 2. 1 (A)(9)( c)(ii), 

below. The Permittee must demonstrate this ORE performance on POHCs 

that are more difficult to incinerate than tetra-, penta-, and 

bexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans. The PernUttee must use 

the equation in condition 2.1(A)(9)(a), above, to calculate ORE for each 

POHC. In addition, the PernUttee must notify the Administrator of its 

intent to incinerate hazardous wastes F020, F02J, F022, F023, F026, or 

F027. (40 C.F.R. § 63.1219(c)(2)]

(ii) The Permittee must specify one or more POHCs that are 

representative of the most difficult to destroy organic compounds in 

the hazardous wasie feedstream. The Petmittee must base this 

specification on the degree of difficulty of incineration of the organic 

constituents in the waste and on their concentration or mass in the 

waste feed, considering the results of waste analyses or other data 

and information.

(i) TI1e Permittee must develop a written startup, shutdown, and 

malfunction plan that describes, in detail, procedures for operating 

and maintaining the source during periods of startup, shutdown, and 

malfunction; and a program of corrective action for malfunctioning 

process, air pollution control, and monitoring equipment used to 

comply with the relevant standard. The startup, shutdown, and 

malftmction plan does not need to address any scenario that would 

not cause the source to exceed an applicable emission limitation in 

the relevant standard. The purpose of the startup, shutdown, and 

malfunction plan is to: 

A. Ensure that, at all times, the Permittee operates and maintains 

each affected source, including associated air pollution control 

and monitoring equipment, in a manner which satisfies the 

general duty to minimize emissions established by 40 C.F.R. 

§ 63.6(e)(l)(i); 

B. Ensure that the Permittee is prepared to correct malfimctions as 

soon as practicable after their occurrence in order to minimize 

excess emissions of hazardous air pollutants; and 

C. Reduce the reporting burden associated with periods of startup, 

shutdown, and malfunction (including corrective action taken 

to restore malfunctioning process and air pollution control 

equipment to its normal or usual manner of operation). 

[40 C.P.R.§ 63.6(e)(3)(i)] 

(ii) TI1e Permittee must maintain at the affected source a current startup, 

shutdown, and malfunction plan and must make the plan available 

upon request for inspection and copying by the Administrator. In 

addition, if the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan is 

subsequently revised as provided in 40 C.P.R.§ 63.6(e)(3)(viii), the 

Permittee must maintain at the affected somce each previous (i.e., 

superseded) version of the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan, 

and must make each previous version avai !able for inspection and 

copying by the Administrator for a period of 5 years after revision of 

the plan. If at any time after adoption of a stattup, shutdown, and 

malfunction plan au affected source cea~es oper•tion or is otherwise 

no longer subject to the provisions of this part, the Permittee must 

retain a copy of the most recent plan for 5 years from the date the 

source ceases operation or is no longer subject to 40 C.F.R. Part 63, 

and must make the plan available upon request for inspection and 

. copying by the Administrator. Upon receipt of a written requesi

the Permittee maintains at the affected source or which is in the 

possession of the Permittee, the Permittee must promptly submit a 

copy of the requested plan (or a pnrtion thereof) to the 

Administrator. The Permittee may elect to submit the required copy 

of any startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan to the Administrator 

in an electronic format. The Permittee may claim that any portion of 

such a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan is confidential 

business information (CBI) entitled to protection from disclosure 

under section 114(c) of the Act or40 C.P.R.§ 2.301. If the 

Permittee makes a CBJ claim, it must clearly designate in the 

submission the material which it claims as confidential. [40 C.F.R. 

§ 63.6(e)(3)(v)] 

(iii) To satisfy the requirements of 40 C.F.R. § 63.6 to develop a startup, 

shutdown, and malfunction plan, the Permittee may use the affected 

source's standard operating procedures (SOP) manual, an 

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), or other 

plan, provided the alternative plans meet all the requirements of 40 

C.P.R. § 63.6 and the Permittee makes the alternative plans available 

for inspection when requested by the Administrator. [40 C.F.R. 

§ 63.6(e)(3)(vi)] 

(iv) The Permittee must revise the startup, shutdown and malfunction 

plan if required by the Administrator to do so based on the results of 

a determination made under40 C.F.R. § 63.6(e)(I)(i), or if the 

Administrator finds that the plan: 

A. Does not address a startup, shutdown, or malfunction event that 

has occurred; 

B. Fails to provide for the operation of the source (including 

associated air pollution control and monitoring equipment) 

during a startup, shutdown, or malfunction event in a marmer 

consistent with the general dut.y to minimize emissions 

established by 40 C.F.R. § 63.6(e)( I )(i); 

C. Does not provide adequate procedures for correcting 

malfunctioning process and/or air pnUution control and 

monitoring equipment as quickly as practicable; or 

D. Includes an event. that does not meet the definition of startup, 

shutdown, or malfunction listed in 40 C.P.R. § 63.2.

(v) The Pennittee may periodical.ly revise the startup, shutdown, and 

malfunction plan for the affected source as neeessary to satisfy the 

requirements of 40 C.F .R. Part 63 or to reflect changes in equipment 

or procedures at the affected source. The Permittee may make such 

revisions to the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan without 

prior approval by the Administrator or the pennitting authority. 

However, !he Permittee must report each revisio.n to the startup, 

shutdov.~t. and malfunction plan in the semiannual report required by 

40 C.F.R. § 63.10(d)(5). If the startup, shutdown, and malfunction 

plan fails to address or inadequately addresses an event that meets 

the characteristics of a malfunction but was not included in the 

startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan at the time the Permittee 

developed the plan, the Pennittee must revise the startup, shutdown, 

and malfunction plan within 45 days after the event to include 

detailed procedures for operating and maintaining the source during 

similar malfunction events, and a program of corrective action for 

similar malfunctions of process or air pollution control and 

monitoring equipment In the event that the Permittee makes any 

revision to the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan which alters 

the scope of the activities at the source which are deemed to be a 

startup, shutdown, or malfunction, or otherwise modifies the 

applicability of any emission limit, work practice requirement, or 

other requirement in a standard established under 40 C.P.R. Part 63, 

the revised plan shall not take effect until after the Permittee has 

provided a wrinen notice describing the revision to the

B. Compliance with A WFCO requirements when burning 

hazardous waste during startup and shutdown: [40 C.F.R. 

§ 63.1206(c){2)(v)(B)] 

I. If the Pennittee feeds hazardous waste during startup or 

shutdown, the Pennittee must include waste feed 

restrictions (e.g., type and quantity), and other 

appropriate operating conditions and limits in the 

startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan. [40 C.F.R. 

§ 63.1206(c){2)(v)(B}(l}] 

II. The Pennittee must interlock the operating limits 

established under condition 2.1(C}(6)(iii){B){I), above, 

with the automatic waste feed cutoff system required 

under condition 2.1 (C){7), except for condition 

2.1(C){7){e). [40 C.P.R.§ 63.1206(c)(2)(v)(B)(2)) 

Ill. When feeding hazardous waste during startup or

C.F.R. § 63.6(eXl). [40 C.F.R. 

§ 63.1206(cX2)(v)(B)(4)) 

(c) The Permittee shall not cause or allow the continued operation of an 

emission source during malfunction or breakdown of the emission source 

or related air pollution con.trol equipment if such operation would cause a 

violation of the standards or limitations set forth in the lllinois 

Administrative Code, Subchapter c: Emission Standards and Limitations 

for Stationary Sources. Tite Permittee shaH not cause or allow violation of 

the standards or limitations set forth in Subchapter c: Emission Standards 

and Limitations for Stationary Sources during startup. (35 lAC 201.149] 

7. Automatic waste feed cutoff(A WFCO). [40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(c)(3)) 

(a) The Permittee must operate the hazardous waste combustor with a 

functioning A WFCO system that inunediately and automatically cuts off 

the hazardous waste feed, except as provided by condition 2.1 (CX7)(f): 

(i) When any of the following are exceeded: Operating parameter limits 

specified under condition 2.1 (C) ofihis permit and 40 C.F.R. 

§ 63. 1209; an emission standard monitored by a CEMS; and the 

allowable combustion chamber pressure; 

(ii) When the span va.lue of any CMS detector, except a CEMS, is met or 

exceeded; 

(iii) Upon malfunction of a CMS monitoring an operating parameter limit 

specified under condition 2.1 (C) of this pennit and 40 C.F.R. 

§ 63.1209 or an emission level; or 

(iv) When any component of the AWFCO system fails. [40 C.F.R. 

§ 63.1206(c)3)(i)) 

(b) Dueling of combustion gases. During an A WFCO, the Pennittee must 

continue to duct combustion gasses to the air pollution control system 

while hazardous waste remains in the combustion chamber (i.e., if the 

hazardous waste residence time bas not transpired since the hazardous 

waste feed cutoff sy.'tem was activated). [40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(c)(3)(ii)] 

(c) Restarting waste feed. The Permittee must continue to monitor during the 

cutoff the operating parameters for which limits are established under 

condition 2.1(C) of this permit and 40 C.P.R. § 63.1209 and the emissions 

required under dtat section to be monitored by a CEMS, and must not 

restart the hazardous waste feed until the operating parameters and

emission levels are within the specified limits. [40 C.F.R. 

§ 63.1206(c)(3)(iii)) 

(d) Failure of the AWFCO system. If the AWFCO system fails to 

automatically and immediately cut off the flow of hazardous waste upon 

exceedance of a parameter required to be interlocked with the A WFCO 

system under condition 2.1 (C)(7)(a), the Pennittee has failed to comply 

with the A WFCO requirements of condition 2.1 (C)(7). If an equipment or 

other failure prevents immediate and automatic cutoff of the hazardous 

waste feed, however, the Permittee must cease feeding hazardous waste as 

quickly as possible. (40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(c)(3)(iv)] 

(e) COrrective measures. If, after any A WFCO, there is an exceedance of an 

emission standard or operating requirement, irrespective of whether the 

exceedance occurred while hazardous waste remained in the combustion 

chamber (i.e., whether the hazardous waste residence time has transpired 

since the hazardous waste feed cutoff system was activated), the Permittee 

must investigate the cause of the AWFCO, take appropriate corrective 

measures to minimize future A WFCOs, and record the findings and 

corrective measures in the operating record. [40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(c)(3)(v)] 

(f) Ramping down waste feed. [40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(c)(3)(viii)) 

(i) Tite Pennittee may ramp down dte waste feedrate of pumpable 

hazardous waste over a period not to exceed I minute, except as 

provided by condition 2.l(C)(7)(f)(ii) of this permit, below. If the 

Permittee elects to rantp down the waste feed, the Permittee must 

document ramp down procedures in the operating and maintenance 

plan. The procedures must specify that the ramp down begins 

immediately upon initiation of A WFCO and the procedures must 

prescribe a bona fide ramping down. If an emission standard or 

operating limit is exceeded during the ramp down, the Permittee has 

failed to comply with the emission standards or operating 

requirements of 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart BEE. 

(ii) If the AWFCO is triggered by an exceedance of any of the following 

operating limits, the Permittee may not ramp down the waste feed 

cutoff: minimum combustion chamber temperature, maximum 

hazardous waste feedrdte, or any hazardous waste firing system 

operating limits that may be established for its combustor. 

(g) Compliance with the A WFCO requirements in 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart 

EEE, will assume compliance with the requirements for a waste feed cutoff 

interlock system and sensors required by construction permits 87100024, 

88010001, and 83120053. [40 C.F.R. § 71 .6(a)(3)(i)(A)]

8. Emergency safety vent (ESV) openings. (40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(c)(4)] 

(a) Failure to meet standards. If an ESV opens when hazardous waste remains 

in the combustion chamber (i.e., when the hazardous waste residence time 

has not expired) during an event other than a malfunction as defined in the 

startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan such that combustion gases are not 

treated as during the most recent comprehensive performance test (e.g., if 

the combustion gas by-passes any emission control device that was 

operating during the performance test), the Peanittee must document in the 

operating record whether the source remained in compliance with the 

emission standards of 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart EEE, considering 

emissions during the ESV opening event. (40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(c)(4)(i)) 

(h) ESV operating plan. [40 C.P.R.§ 63.1206(c)(c)(4)(ii)] 

(i) The Pemuttee must develop an ESV operating plan, comply with the 

operating plan, and keep the plan in the operating record. 

(ii) The ESV operating plan must provide detailed procedures for rapidly 

stopping the waste feed, shutting down the combustor, and, if 

feasible, maintaining temperature and negative pressure in the 

combustion chamber during the hazardous waste residence time. 

The plan must include calculations, information and data 

documenting the effectiveness of the plan's procedures for ensuring 

that combustion chamber temperature and negative pressure are 

maintained as is reasonably feasible. 

(c) Corrective measures. After any ESV opening that results in a failure to 

meet the emission standards as defined in condition 2. J(C)(8)(a) of this 

permit, the Permittee must investigate the cause of the ESV opening, take 

appropriate corrective measures to minimize such future ESV openings, 

and record the findings and corrective measures in the operating record. 

(40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(c)(4)(iii)] 

9. Combustion system leaks. (40 C.P.R.§ 63.1206(c)(5)) 

(a) The Permittee must control combustion system leaks of hazardous air 

pollutants by maintaining the maximum combustion zone pressure lower 

than ambient pressure using an instantaneous monitor; and [ 40 C.F.R. 

§ 63.1206(c)(5)(i)(B)J 

(b) The Permittee must specify in the performance test work plan and NOC 

the method that it will use to control combustion system leaks. Because 

the Permittee controls combu•1ion system leaks by maintaining the

me-asuring any of the specified metals, the Permittee must quantify 

that metal's emissions using that metal's feedrate as determined 

according to cond.ition 2. I (D)(4)(d) for the most recent 12-hour 

period for which feedstream analysis data for that metal is available 

and the system removal efficiency and exhaust parameters used by 

the Permittee to estimate emissions of ti1at metal for that 12-hour 

period. For this purpose, unless otherwise approved in writing by 

EPA, the Permittee shall base its calculations on the affected metal's 

feedrate as determined according to condition 2.l(D)(4)(d), system 

removal efficiency from the last comprehensive performance test 

required by conditions 2.1(0)(8) and (10), and continuous flow and

block average, valid results must be available for at least three of the 

four 15-minute cycles in each hour. 

(v) Outing the period when each multi-metals CEMS is installed and 

operating, the Permittee shall calculate and record l -hour rolling 

average emissions from the raw data obtained by each CEMS. l11e 

Permittee shall also calculate a 12-bour rolling average of data for 

each CEMS, calculated each hour as the average of data collected 

over the previous 12 operating hours. The Permittee shall maintain 

for five years all data used in all calculations. 

(vi) The Permittee shall report to EPA in accordance with condition 

2.l(DXl)(i)(x) for every 12-hour averaging period during which the 

12-hour average emissions from any incinerator were higher d1an the 

limits in condition 2.l(A)(7) whether or not the levels of metals in 

the feedstream complied with the OPLs in the permit. 

(vii) During periods when any multi-metals CEMS is malfunctioning, or 

during periods of mouitor downtime due to calibration, quality 

assurance checks or scheduled maintenance, the Permittee shall use 

data from feedstream analysis, performance tests and/or other CMSs, 

as provided in this permit, to demonstrate compliance at the 

respective incinerator with the applicable emissions limits provided 

that the monitor downtime lasts at least three of the four 15-minute 

cycles in each hour needed to calculate a valid one-h.our block 

average. 

(viii) During the period when any multi-metals CEMS is being operated, 

the Permittee must continue to operate other CMS required under 

condition 2.1 (DX2) for the respective incinerator, and must monitor 

feedrates for the incinerator using the procedures contained in the 

feedstream analysis plan required under condition 2.l(D)(4){b), and 

the supplemental procedures contained in condition 2.l(D){4){d)(2). 

(ix) At the end of the 12-month period during which each multi-metals 

CEMS was continuously operated, the Permittee may petition the

Administrator, in accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 63.1209(a)(5), to 

continue to use any or all of the multi-metals CEMS for compliance 

monitoring for mercury, L VM and SVM under 40 C.F.R. § 63.8(1) in 

lieu of compliance with the corresponding operating parameter limits 

for the respective incinerators. 

(x) Any CEMS reading above any parametric range, as defined in 

conc:lition 2.1 (D)( I )(i)(iii), is a deviation. 

(xi) If the data from any multi-metals CEMS show a deviation, the 

Permittee must analyze the feedstream analysis data for the waste 

burned at the time of the deviation and the combustion conditions 

that existed at the time of the deviation to determine why the 

deviation occurred. The Permittee will send to the Administrator 

within 30 days of the deviation all feedstream analysis data for the 

period of the deviation and its analysis of the cause of the deviation, 

and actions taken to address the deviation. 

(xii) From the time that a CEMS records a deviation, the Permittee must 

immediately stop feeding the batch of waste burned when the 

deviation occurred, and is prohibited from burning the remainder of 

the batch or any component that comprised the batch at that unit 

until such time that the Permittee demonstrates to the Administrator, 

and the Administrator indicates in writing that EPA accepts the 

demonstration, that a reduction in the feedrate for that affected class 

of metals is not necessary to assure compliance with the emissions 

limits in this permit. 

(xiii) If operation of the multi-metals CEMS during the 12-month period, 

in conjunction with feedstream analysis or other relevant data, 

reveals that any of the feedrate limits included in this permit must be 

made more stringent in order to assure compliance with the 

applicable emissions limits, EPA will reopen this permit, pursuant to 

40 C.F.R. § 71.7(1), to either revise the affected feedrate limits or 

require operation of the multi-metals CEMS for a longer period of 

time or permanently. 

(xiv) If operation of the multi-metals CEMS during the 12-month period, 

in conjunction with feedstream analysis or other relevant data, 

reveals that any of the feedrate limits included in this permit are 

more stringent than necessary to assure compliance with the 

applicable emissions limits, the Pennittee may petition the 

Administrator to use the results of historical comprehensive 

performance tests, feedstream analysis, and CEMS data to establish 

higher feedrate limits for the affected incinerators provided the 

CEMS data demonstrate that compliance would be assured at the

higher feedrate limits regardless of the waste burned. Nothing in tbis 

permit or 40 C.F.Jt Part 63, Subpart EEE, obligates tbe 

Administrator to approve a petition for revised feedrate limits. 

(xv) Notwithstanding the specific recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements contained in condition 2.1 (E) of Ibis permit, tbe 

Pemtittee shall, on a quarterly basis, submit to EPA a suuunary of 

emissions data recorded by each multi-metals CEMS and the !-hour 

and 12-hour rolling average mercury, SVM and L VM feedrates 

recorded during the same period. The emissions data summary shall 

include: 

A. The !-hour and 12-hour rolling average concentrations of 

mercury, L VM and SVM as recorded by tbe multi-metals 

CEMS, in the units of the applicable MACT standards 

(Jlg/dscm, corrected to 7 percent oxygen); 

B. The 12-hour rolling average feedrates, as determined through 

tbe required feedstream analyses conducted during tbe same 

period; 

C. Sample calculations, equations or other data used by the 

Permittee to convert CEMS and feedrate data; 

D. The total duration in minutes of any excess emissions during 

the reporting period, the 1-hour and 12-hour rolling average 

concentrations recorded during each period of excess 

eotissions, tbe total duration of excess emissions expressed as a 

percent of the toml source operating time during that reporting 

period, and a breakdown of the total dw-ation of excess 

emissions during the reporting period into those that are due to 

startup/shutdown, control equipment problems, process 

problems, other known causes, and otber unknown causes; and 

E. All deviations that occurred during the reporting period and 

corrective actions taken. 

2. Other continuous monitoring systems (CMS). [40 C.F.R. § 63.1209(b)) 

(a) The Permittee must use CMS (e.g., thermocouples, pressure transducers, 

flow meters) to document compliance with the applicable operating 

parameter limits under 40 C.F.R. § 63.1209. 

(b) Except as specified in conditions 2.l(D)(2)(b)(i) and (ii), below, the 

Petmittee must install and operate continuous monitoring systems otl1er

thermocouples must be verified at a frequency and in a manner 

consistent with manufacturer specifications, but no less frequent than 

once per year. The Permittee must operate and maintain optical 

pyrometers in accordance with manufacturer specifications unless 

otherwise approved by the Administrator. The Penninee must 

calibrate optical pyrometers in accordance with the frequency and 

procedures recommended by the manufacturer, but no less frequent 

than once per year, unless otherwise approved by the Administrator. 

(ii) Accuracy and calibration of weight measurement devices for 

activated carbon injection systems. If the Pen:nittee operates a 

carbon injection system, the accuracy of the weight measurement 

device must be :1: I percent of the weight being measured. The 

calibration of the device must be verifie<l at least once eac.h calendar 

quarter at a frequency of approximately 120 days. 

(c) A CMS must sample the regulated parameter without interruption. evaluate 

the detector response at least once each 15 seconds, and compute and 

record the average values at least every 60 seconds. 

(d) The span of the non-CEMS CMS detector must not be exceeded. The 

Permittee must interlock the span limits into the automatic waste feed 

cutoff system required by 40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(c)(3). 

(e) Calculation of rolling averages. 

(i) Calculation of rolling averages upon intermittent operations. The 

Permittee must ignore periods of time when !-minute values are not 

available when calculating rolling averages. When !-minute values 

become available again, the first !-minute value is added to the 

previous !·minute values to calculate rolling averages. 

(ii) Calculation of rolling averages when the hazardous waste feed is 

cutoff. 

A. Except as provided by condition 2.l(DX2XeXiiXB), below, the 

Pennittee must continue monitoring operating parameter limits 

with a CMS when the hazardous wa~te feed is cutoff if the 

source is operating. The Permittee must not resume feeding 

hazardous waste if an operating parameter exceeds its limit.

delay time, except as detailed in the operation and maintenance plan 

required under 40 C.F.lt § 63.1206(c)(7). The Permittee must not 

increase the sensitivity by more than I 00 percent or decrease the 

sensitivity by more thao 50 percent over a 365-day period unless 

such adjustment follows a complete bagbouse inspection whic.h 

demonstrates the baghouse is in good operating condition; and 

(vii) The bag leak detector shall be installed downstream of the baghouse 

and upstream of any wet acid gas scrubber. Where multiple 

detectors are required, the system's instrumentation and alann 

system may be shared among the detectors. 

(c) Bag leak detection system corrective measures requirements. The 

operating and maintenance plan required by 40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(cX7) 

must include a corrective measures plan that specifies the procedures the

malfunction. The corrective measures plan must include, at a minimum, 

the procedures used to determine and record the time and cause of the 

alanu as well as the corrective measures taken to correct the control device 

malfunction or minimize emissions as specified below. Failure to initiate 

the corrective measures required by this condition 2.1(D)(3)(c) is failure to 

ensure compliance with the emission standards in 40 C.F.R. Pan 63, 

Subpart BEE. 

(i) The Permittee must initiate the procedures used to determine th.e 

cause of the alrum within 30 minutes of the time the alarm first 

sounds; and 

(ii) The Permittee must alleviate the cause of the alanu by taking the 

necessary corrective measure(s) which may include, but are not to he 

limited to, the following: 

A. Inspecting the baghouse for air leaks, tom or broken filter 

elements, or any other malfunction that may cause an increase 

in emissions; 

B. Sealing off defective bags or filter media; 

C. Replacing defective bags or filter media, or otherwise repairing 

the control device; 

D. Sealing off a defective baghouse compartment;
