1219(c)(1). 

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

most difficult to destroy organic compounds in the hazardous waste feedstream. 

The Permittee 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. [40 C.F.R. §§ 63.1203(c)(3)(ii) and 63.1219(c)(3)(ii)]

(B) Nonapplicable Regulations [40 C.F.R. § 71.6(f)(1)]

3. Compliance with standards. [40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(b)(1)] 

The emission standards and operating requirements set forth derived from Subpart EEE 

apply at all times except:

(a) During periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction; and

(b) When hazardous waste is not in the combustion chamber (i.e., the hazardous waste 

feed to the combustor has been cut off for a period of time not less than the hazardous 

waste residence time) and the Permittee has documented in the operating record 

compliance with all otherwise-applicable requirements and standards promulgated under 

authority of sections 112 (e.g., 40 C.F.R. Ppart 63, sSubparts LLL, DDDDD, and 

NNNNN) or 129 of the Clean Air Act in lieu of the emission standards under 40 C.F.R. 

§§ 63.1203, 63.1204, 63.1205, 63.1215, 63.1216, 63.1217, 63.1218, 63.1219, 63.1220, 

and 63.1221; the monitoring and compliance standards of 40 C.F.R. §§ 63.1206 through 

63.1209, except the modes of operation requirements of § 63.1209(q); and the 

notification, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements of §§ 63.1210 through 63.1212.

4. (a) If the Permittee plans to change (as defined in 40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(b)(5)(iii)) the 

design, operation, or maintenance practices of the source in a manner that may adversely 

affect compliance with any emission standard that is not monitored with a CEMS, the 

Permittee must not burn hazardous waste for more than a total of 720 hours (renewable at 
Veolia Environmental Services Page: 14 of 134

Permit No.: V-IL-1716300103-08-01

the discretion of the Administrator) and only for the purposes of pretesting or 

comprehensive performance testing. Pretesting is defined at 40 C.F.R. § 63.1207(h)(2)(i) 

and (ii). However, the Permittee may petition the Administrator to obtain written 

approval to burn hazardous waste in the interim prior to submitting a Notification of 

Compliance (NOC) for purposes other than testing or pretesting. The Permittee must 

specify operating requirements, including limits on operating parameters, that the 

Permittee determines will ensure compliance with the emission standards of this subpart 

based on available information. The Administrator will review, modify as necessary, and 

approve if warranted the interim operating requirements. [40 C.F.R. 

§ 63.1206(b)(5)(i)(C)]

(b) Notification. [40 C.F.R. § 1206(b)(5)]

You The Permittee must notify the Administrator at least 60 days prior to any change 

described in section 2.1(B)(4)(a), above, unless you document circumstances that dictate 

that such prior notice is not reasonably feasible. The notification must include:

(i) A description of the changes and which emission standards may be affected; and 

(ii) A comprehensive performance test schedule and test plan under the requirements 

of § 63.1207(f) that will document compliance with the affected emission 

standard(s);

5. General Operating Requirements. [40 C.F.R. 63.1206(c)(1)] 

(a) The Permittee must operate only under the operating requirements specified in the 

Documentation of Compliance (DOC) under 40 C.F.R. § 63.1211(c) or the Notification 

of ComplianceNOC under 40 C.F.R. §§ 63.1207(j) and 63.1210(d), except:

(i) During performance tests under approved test plans according to 40 C.F.R. § 

63.1207(e), (f), and (g), and

(ii) Under the conditions of section 2.1(C)(3)(i) or (ii), above.

(b) Documentation of Compliance. [40 C.F.R. § 1211(c)]

 

By October 14, 2008, the Permittee must develop and include in the operating record a 

Documentation of ComplianceDOC. The Documentation of ComplianceDOC must 

identify the applicable emission standards under 40 C.F.R. part Part 63, Ssubpart EEE, 

and the limits on the operating parameters that will ensure compliance with those 

emission standards.

(c) Failure to comply with the operating requirements is failure to ensure compliance 

with the emission standards of 40 C.F.R. Ppart 63, Subpart EEE.

6. Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction Plan. [40 C.F.R. §§ 63.6(e)(3), 63.1206(c)(2)]

(a) The Permittee is subject to the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan requirements 

of 40 C.F.R. § 63.6(e)(3). [40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(c)(2)(i)]

(i) The 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 

malfunction 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)(1)(i);

(B) Ensure that the Permittee is prepared to correct malfunctions 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.F.R. § 63.6(e)(3)]

(ii) The 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.F.R. 

§ 63.6(e)(3)(viii), the Permittee must maintain at the affected source each 

previous (i.e., superseded) version of the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan, 

and must make each previous version available 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 startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan an affected source ceases 

operation 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. Ppart 63, and must 

make the plan available upon request for inspection and copying by the 

Administrator. Upon receipt of a written request from the Administrator that the 

Permittee submit a copy of any startup, shutdown and malfunction plan (or 

portion thereof) which 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 portion thereof) to the Administrator. The Permittee may 
Veolia Environmental Services Page: 16 of 134

Permit No.: V-IL-1716300103-08-01

Expires: October 12, 2013

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 entitled to protection from disclosure under section 114(c) of the Act 

or 40 C.F.R. § 2.301. If the Permittee makes a CBI claim, it must clearly 

designate in the submission the material which it claims as confidential. 

(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.F.R. 63.6 and the Permittee makes the alternative plans 

available for inspection when requested by the Administrator.

(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 under 

63.6(e)(1)(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 manner consistent with the general duty to minimize 

emissions established by 40 C.F.R. § 63.6(e)(1)(i);

(C) Does not provide adequate procedures for correcting malfunctioning process 

and/or air pollution 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.F.R. § 63.2.

(v) The Permittee may periodically revise the startup, shutdown, and malfunction 

plan for the affected source as necessary to satisfy the requirements of 40 C.F.R. 

Ppart 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 permitting authority. 

However, the Permittee must report each revision to the startup, shutdown, and 

malfunction plan in the semiannual report required by §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 Permittee 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.F.R. pPart 

63, the revised plan shall not take effect until after the Permittee has provided a 

written notice describing the revision to the Administrator.

(vi) Any revisions made to the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan in accordance 

with the procedures established by this part shall not be deemed to constitute 

revisions to this permit, and the elements of the startup, shutdown, and 

malfunction plan shall not be considered an applicable requirement as defined in 

40 C.F.R. §§ 70.2 and 40 C.F.R. § 71.2. [40 C.F.R. § 63.6(e)(3)(ix)]

(vii)The procedures specified in the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan do not 

fall within the permit shield provided in section 4.0(U) of this permit.

(b) The Permittee is subject to the following provisions of 40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(c)(2) 

and (3): 

(i) The Permittee must identify in the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan a 

projected oxygen correction factor, based on normal operations, to use during 

periods of startup and shutdown. [40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(c)(2)(iii)]

(ii) The Permittee must record the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan in the 

operating record. [40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(c)(2)(iv)] 

(iii) Operating under the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan [40 C.F.R. 

§ 63.1206(c)(2)(v)(A)]:

(A) Compliance with automatic waste feed cutoff (AWFCO) requirements during 

malfunctions:

(1) During malfunctions, the automatic waste feed cutoff requirements of 

section 2.1(C)(7) of the permit continue to apply, except for section 

2.1(C)(7)(e). If there is an exceedance of a 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart 

EEE, emission standard monitored by a CEMS or COMsS or operating 

limit specified under 40 C.F.R. § 63.1209, the automatic waste feed cutoff 

system must immediately and automatically cutoff the hazardous waste 

feed, except as provided by section 2.1(C)(7)(f) of the permit. If the 

malfunction itself prevents immediate and automatic cutoff of the 

hazardous waste feed, the Permittee must cease feeding hazardous waste 

as quickly as possible. 

(2) Although the automatic waste feed cutoff requirements continue to apply 

during a malfunction, an exceedance of an emission standard monitored 
Veolia Environmental Services Page: 18 of 134

Permit No.: V-IL-1716300103-08-01

Expires: October 12, 2013

by a CEMS or COMS or operating limit specified under section 63.1209 

is not a violation of 40 C.F.R. Ppart 63, Ssubpart EEE if the source 

continues to operate in accordance with section 63.6(e)(1)]. [40 C.F.R. 

§ 63.1206(c)(2)(v)(A)(2)]

(3) Excessive exceedances during malfunctions. For each set of 10 

exceedances of an emission standard or operating requirement while 

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

hazardous waste residence time has not transpired since the hazardous 

waste feed was cutoff) during a 60-day block period, the Permittee must: 

 Within 45 days of the 10th exceedance, complete an investigation of 

the cause of each exceedance and evaluation of approaches to 

minimize the frequency, duration, and severity of each exceedance, 

and revise the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan as warranted 

by the evaluation to minimize the frequency, duration, and severity of 

each exceedance; and 

 Record the results of the investigation and evaluation in the operating 

record, and include a summary of the investigation and evaluation, 

and any changes to the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan, in 

the excess emissions report required under section 2.1(D) of the 

permit and 40 C.F.R. § 63.10(e)(3). [40 C.F.R. 

§ 63.1206(c)(2)(v)(A)]

(B) Compliance with AWFCO requirements when burning hazardous waste 

during startup and shutdown [40 C.F.R. § 1206(c)(2)(v)(B)]:

(1) If the Permittee feeds hazardous waste during startup or shutdown, the 

Permittee 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)(1)]

(2) The Permittee must interlock the operating limits established under section 

2.1(C)(6)(iii)(B)(1), above, with the automatic waste feed cutoff system 

required under section 2.1(C)(7), except for section 2.1(C)(7)(e). 

[40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(c)(2)(v)(B)(2)]

(3) When feeding hazardous waste during startup or shutdown, the automatic 

waste feed cutoff system must immediately and automatically cutoff the 

hazardous waste feed if the Permittee exceeds the operating limits 

established under section 2.1(C)(6)(b)(iii)(B)(1) of this permit, except as 

provided by section 2.1(C)(7). [40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(c)(2)(v)(B)(3)]

(4) Although the automatic waste feed cutoff requirements of 40 C.F.R. 

§ 63.1206 (c)(2)(v)(B)(4) apply during startup and shutdown, an 
Veolia Environmental Services Page: 19 of 134

Permit No.: V-IL-1716300103-08-01

Expires: October 12, 2013

exceedance of an emission standard or operating limit is not a violation of 

this sSubpart EEE if the Permittee operates in accordance with 40 C.F.R. §

63.6(e)(1). [40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(c)(2)(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 control 

equipment if such operation would cause a violation of the standards or limitations set 

forth in Subchapter c: Emission Standards and Limitations for Stationary Sources. The 

Permittee shall 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 IAC 201.149]

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

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

AWFCO system that immediately and automatically cuts off the hazardous waste feed, 

except as provided by section 2.1(C)(7)(f): 

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

under section 2.1(D) of this 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 value of any CMS detector, except a CEMS, is met or exceeded;

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

under section 2.1(D) of this permit 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) Ducting of combustion gases. During an AWFCO, the Permittee 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 has not transpired 

since the hazardous waste feed cutoff system 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 section 2.1(D) of this permit 

and 40 C.F.R. § 63.1209 and the emissions required under that 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 AWFCO system under section 2.1(C)(7)(a), the 

Permittee has failed to comply with the AWFCO requirements of section 2.1(C)(7). If 
Veolia Environmental Services Page: 20 of 134

Permit No.: V-IL-1716300103-08-01

Expires: October 12, 2013

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 AWFCO, 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 AWFCOs, 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) The Permittee may ramp down the waste feedrate of pumpable hazardous waste 

over a period not to exceed 1 minute, except as provided by section 

2.1(C)(7)(f)(ii) of this permit, below. If the Permittee elects to ramp 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 automatic waste feed cutoff 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 hasve failed to comply 

with the emission standards or operating requirements of this 40 C.F.R. Part 63,

sSubpart EEE.

(ii) If the automatic waste feed cutoff 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 

feedrate, or any hazardous waste firing system operating limits that may be 

established for its combustor.

(g) Compliance with the requirements of the AWFCO in Subpart EEE will assure 

compliance with the requirements for a waste cutoff interlock system required by 

Construction permit 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 emergency safety vent (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 Permittee 

must document in the operating record whether the source remained in compliance with 

the emission standards of Subpart EEE considering emissions during the ESV opening 

event. [40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(c)(4)(i)]
Veolia Environmental Services Page: 21 of 134

Permit No.: V-IL-1716300103-08-01

Expires: October 12, 2013

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

 

(i) The Permittee 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 section 2.1(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.F.R. 63.1206(c)(5)]

(a) Combustion system leaks of hazardous air pollutants must be controlled by 

maintaining the maximum combustion zone pressure lower than ambient pressure using 

an instantaneous monitor; [40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(c)(5)(i)(B)] and 

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

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

Because the Permittee controls combustion system leaks by maintaining the combustion 

zone pressure lower than ambient pressure using an instantaneous monitor, the Permittee 

must also specify in the performance test work plan and Notification of ComplianceNOC

the monitoring and recording frequency of the pressure monitor, and specify how the 

monitoring approach is integrated into the automatic waste feed cutoff system. 

[40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(c)(5)(ii)]

10. Operator training and certification. [40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(c)(6)]

(a) The Permittee must establish training programs for all categories of personnel whose 

activities may reasonably be expected to directly affect emissions of hazardous air 

pollutants from the source. Such persons include, but are not limited to, chief facility 

operators, control room operators, continuous monitoring system operators, persons that 

sample and analyze feedstreams, persons that manage and charge feedstreams to the 

combustor, persons that operate emission control devices, and ash and waste handlers. 

Each training program shall be of a technical level commensurate with the person's job 

duties specified in the training manual. Each commensurate training program shall

(g) Calculation of rolling averages should be done in accordance with the following 

requirements of 40 C.F.R. § 63.1209(a)(6):

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

ignore periods of time when 1-minute values are not available for calculating the 

hourly rolling average. When 1-minute values become available again, the first 

1-minute value is added to the previous 59 values to calculate the hourly rolling 

average. 

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

(A) Except as provided by 40 C.F.R. § 63.1209(a)(6)(iii)(B), the Permittee must

the carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emission standard by continuously monitoring 

carbon monoxide with a CEMS, the Permittee must demonstrate that hydrocarbon 

emissions during the comprehensive performance test do not exceed the hydrocarbon 

emissions standard. In addition, the limits the Permittee establishes on the destruction 

and removal efficiency (DRE) operating parameters required under 40 C.F.R. 

§ 63.1209(j) also must ensure that the Permittee maintains compliance with the 

hydrocarbon emission standard. If the Permittee does not conduct the hydrocarbon 

demonstration and DRE tests concurrently, the Permittee must establish separate 

operating parameter limits under 40 C.F.R. § 63.1209(j) based on each test, and the more 

restrictive of the operating parameter limits applies.

Permit No.: V-IL-1716300103-08-01

Expires: October 12, 2013

install and operate an oxygen CEMS to continuously correct the multi-metals CEMS data

to 7 percent oxygen.

(i) The multi-metals CEMS must meet the installation requirements in Other Test 

Method (OTM) 16, Performance Specification YY (Specifications and Test 

Procedures for X-ray Fluorescence Based Multi-Metals Continuous Emission 

Monitoring Systems at Stationary Sources) and the on-going quality control and 

quality assurance procedures set forth in OTM 20, Procedure Z (Quality Assurance 

Requirements for X-Ray-Fluorescence Based Multi-Metals Continuous Emission 

Monitoring Systems at Stationary Sources) and subsequent revisions. 

(ii) At a minimum, the multi-metals CEMS shall measure and report the total 

concentrations (regardless of speciation) of the following metals in both their vapor 

and solid forms in the exhaust stream: arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, 

lead and mercury. If the Permittee installs a multi-metals CEMS that is incapable 

of measuring any of the specified metals, the Permittee must determine the default 

value for that metal’s emissions using the highest measured concentration of that 

metal in any feedstream burned by the Permittee in the last five years and the lowest 

system removal efficiency with respect to that metal as obtained during any 

comprehensive performance test performed by the Permittee over that same period. 

The Permittee must assume that all wastes fed to the incinerator contain the affected 

metal at the default concentration.

(iii) For a period of no less than twelve (12) consecutive months, the Permittee shall 

operate the multi-metals CEMS at all times except during periods of monitor 

downtime due to calibration, quality assurance checks or scheduled maintenance.

Operation ―at all times‖ is defined as the collection of at least one measurement for 

each successive 15-minute period. In order to calculate a valid one-hour block 

average, valid results must be available for at least three of the four 15-minute 

cycles in each hour.

(iv) During the period when the multi-metals CEMS is installed and operating, the 

Permittee shall determine compliance with the applicable emissions limits for 

Incineration Unit #3 using a 12-hour rolling average of CEMS data, calculated each 

hour as the average of data collected over the previous 12 operating hours.

(v) During periods when the multi-metals CEMS is malfunctioning, or during periods 

of monitor 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 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 calculated a valid onehour block average.

(vi) During the period when the multi-metals CEMS is being operated, the Permittee

must continue to operate other CMS required under condition 2.1(D)(2), and must 

monitor feedrates using the procedures contained in the feedstream analysis plan 
Veolia Environmental Services Page: 28 of 134

Permit No.: V-IL-1716300103-08-01

Expires: October 12, 2013

required under condition 2.1(D)(4)(b), and the supplemental procedures contained

in condition 2.1(D)(4)(d)(2). 

(vii) At the end of the 12-month period during which the 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 the multi-metals CEMS for 

compliance monitoring for mercury, LVM and SVM under 40 C.F.R. § 63.8(f) in 

lieu of compliance with the corresponding operating parameter limits.

(viii) 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(f), to either revise the affected feedrate limits or 

require permanent operation of the multi-metals CEMS.

(ix) 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 Permitttee may petition the 

Administrator to utilize the results of historical comprehensive performance tests, 

feedstream analysis, and CEMS data to establish higher feedrate limits for the 

affected incineration units provided the CEMS data demonstrate that compliance 

would be assured at the higher feedrate limits regardless of the waste burned. 

Nothing in this permit or 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart EEE obligates the 

Administrator to approve a petition for revised feedrate limits.

(x) Notwithstanding the specific recordkeeping and reporting requirements contained in 

section 2.1(E) of this permit, the Permittee shall, on a quarterly basis, submit to 

EPA a summary of emission data recorded by the multi-metals CEMS and the 12-

hour rolling average mercury, SVM and LVM feed rates recorded during the same 

period. The emission data summary shall include 

1. The 12-hour rolling average concentrations of mercury, LVM and SVM as 

recorded by the multi-metals CEMS, in the units of the applicable MACT 

standards (micrograms per dry standard cubic meter, corrected to 7% oxygen);

 

2. The 12-hour rolling average feed rates, as determined through the required 

feedstream analyses conducted during the same period.

Notwithstanding the requirement for a feedstream analysis plan, as specified in condition 

2.1(D)(4)(b), the Permittee shall implement the following procedures for mercury, SVM 

and LVM:

(i) Pre-acceptance screening procedure. 

The Permittee shall obtain, prior to the shipment of waste to the facility, a 

representative sample of the waste for mercury, LVM and SVM analysis by the 

Permittee using appropriate quality assurance/quality control procedures and an 

appropriate test method that are consistent with the ―Test Methods for Evaluating 

Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods‖ (SW-846). The Permittee shall follow 

this pre-acceptance screening sampling and analysis procedure at least once per 

year for each waste stream using appropriate quality assurance/quality control 

procedures and appropriate test methods that are consistent with SW-846. 

(ii) Waste acceptance procedure. 

The Permittee shall conduct representative sampling of each shipment of waste 

for mercury, LVM and SVM within 24 hours of receipt and shall analyze such 

samples using appropriate quality assurance/quality control procedures and an 

appropriate test methods that are consistent with SW-846. 

(iii) Batch sampling procedure. 

If waste accepted for incineration is batched, treated, blended, mixed, or 

otherwise altered from its shipped state, the Permittee shall sample and analyze 

such batched, treated, blended, mixed, or otherwise altered waste for mercury, 

LVM and SVM in its final form as feed for incineration, prior to incineration 

using appropriate quality assurance/quality control procedures and appropriate 

test methods that are consistent with SW-846. 

(iv) Fuel procedure. 

The permittee shall document the concentration of mercury, LVM and SVM in 

any fuel other than natural gas, including used oil, diesel, and alternative fuels, 

but not including hazardous waste, fed into the incinerators by either (1) obtaining 

analytical results from each fuel supplier or (2) conducting representative 

sampling of each fuel supply and analyzing such samples using appropriate 

quality assurance/quality control procedures and appropriate test methods. The 

Permittee shall follow this procedure at least once per year for each fuel supply.

as defined in condition 2.1(D)(4)(d)(2)(v)(3) above, in any sampling analysis 

required by condition 2.1(D)(4)(d)(2), the metal concentration shall be equal to 

the concentration of that metal detected from the associated sampling analysis 

at or above the reporting limit, as defined in condition 2.1(D)(4)(d)(2)(v)(3) 

above.

2. If the applicable metal is not detected at or above the reporting limit for that 

metal, as defined in condition 2.1(D)(4)(d)(2)(v)(3) above, in any sampling 

analysis required by condition 2.1(D)(4)(d)(2), and there is acceptable 

knowledge that mercury, LVM or SVM could be present in the waste or fuel, 

the metal concentration shall be equal to one-half of the reporting limit, as 

defined in condition 2.1(D)(4)(d)(2)(v)(3) above, from the sampling analyses 

required by condition 2.1(D)(4)(d)(2).

3. The reporting limit shall be determined as the lowest non-zero concentration of 

the applicable metal in a minimum 5-point linear calibration study multiplied 

by the appropriate extraction and dilution factors.

§ 63.1209(f)]: 

The Permittee is subject to the provisions of 40 C.F.R. § 63.8(c) apply, except:

(i) Section 63.8(c)(3). Instead of complying with 40 C.F.R. § 63.8(c)(3), the 

Permittee shall comply with 40 C.F.R. § 63.1211(c), which requires CMSs to be 

installed, calibrated, and operational on the compliance date, and 

(ii) Section 63.8(c)(4)(ii). Instead of complying with 40 C.F.R. § 63.8(c)(4)(ii), the 

Permittee shall comply with the performance specifications for carbon monoxide, 

hydrocarbon and oxygen CEMSs in 40 C.F.R. Part 60, Ssubpart B, which requires 

detectors to measure the sample concentration at least once every 15 seconds for 

calculating an average emission rate once every 60.

(i) Reduction of monitoring data. [40 C.F.R. § 63.1209(h)]:

except during periods when calibration, quality assurance, or maintenance 
Veolia Environmental Services Page: 37 of 134

Permit No.: V-IL-1716300103-08-01

Expires: October 12, 2013

activities pursuant to provisions of this part are being performed. During these 

periods, a valid hourly average shall consist of at least two data points with each 

representing a 15-minute period. Alternatively, an arithmetic or integrated 1-hour

average of CEMS data may be used. Time periods for averaging are defined in 40 

C.F.R. § 63.2.

(iii) The data may be recorded in reduced or nonreduced form (e.g., ppm pollutant and 

percent O2 or ng/J of pollutant).

(iv) All emissions data shall be converted into units of the relevant standard for 

reporting purposes using the conversion procedures specified in that standard. 

After conversion into units of the relevant standard, the data may be rounded to 

the same number of significant digits as used in that standard to specify the 

emission limit (e.g., rounded to the nearest 1 percent opacity). 

(v) Monitoring data recorded during periods of unavoidable CMS breakdowns, outof-control periods, repairs, maintenance periods, calibration checks, and zero 

(low-level) and high-level adjustments must not be included in any data average 

computed under this part. For the Permittee complying with the requirements of 

63.10(b)(2)(vii)(A) or (B), data averages must include any data recorded during 

periods of monitor breakdown or malfunction.

(j) When an operating parameter is applicable to multiple standards [40 C.F.R. 

§ 63.1209(i)]:

 

40 C.F.R. § 63.1209(j) through (p) requires the Permittee to establish limits on operating 

parameters based on comprehensive performance testing to ensure the Permittee 

maintains compliance with the emission standards. For several parameters, the Permittee 

must establish a limit for the parameter to ensure compliance with more than one 

emission standard. An example is a limit on minimum combustion chamber temperature 

to ensure compliance with both the DRE standard of 40 C.F.R. § 63.1209(j) and the 

dioxin/furan standard of 40 C.F.R. § 63.1209(k). If the performance tests for such 

standards are not performed simultaneously, the most stringent limit for a parameter 

derived from independent performance tests applies.

(k) Destruction and Removal Efficiency [40 C.F.R. § 63.1209(j)]: To remain in 

compliance with the destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) standard, the Permittee

particular whether:

(A) Performance test metal feedrates are appropriate (i.e., whether feedrates are at 

least at normal levels; depending on the heterogeneity of the waste, whether some 

level of spiking would be appropriate; and whether the physical form and species 

of spike material is appropriate); and

(B) Whether the extrapolated feedrates the Permittee requests are warranted 

considering historical metal feedrate data.

(iii) Activated carbon injection. Incinerator #4 is equipped with an activated carbon

(iii) Dry Scrubber. The combustor is equipped with a dry scrubber, therefore, the 

Permittee must establish and comply with the following operating parameter 

limits:

(A) Minimum sorbent feedrate. The Permittee must establish a limit on minimum 

sorbent feedrate on an hourly rolling average as the average of the test run 

averages.

(B) Minimum carrier fluid flowrate or nozzle pressure drop. The Permittee must

pressure drop based on manufacturer’'s specifications.

(C) Sorbent specifications:

(1) The Permittee must specify and use the brand (i.e., manufacturer) and type 

of sorbent used during the comprehensive performance test until a 

subsequent comprehensive performance test is conducted, unless the 

Permittee documents in the site-specific performance test plan required 

under 40 C.F.R. § 63.1207(e) and (f) key parameters that affect adsorption 

and establish limits on those parameters based on the sorbent used in the 

performance test.

(2) The Permittee may substitute at any time a different brand or type of 

sorbent provided that the replacement has equivalent or improved 

properties compared to the sorbent used in the performance test and 

conforms to the key sorbent parameters the Permittee identifies under 40 

C.F.R. § 63.1209(o)(4)(iii)(A). The Permittee must record in the 

operating record documentation that the substitute sorbent will provide the 

same level of control as the original sorbent.

Permittee may round the resultant emission levels to two significant figures to document 

compliance. [40 C.F.R. §§ 63.1203(d) and 63.1219(d)]

5. If the Permittee plans to change (as defined in 40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(b)(5)(iii)) the design, 

operation, or maintenance practices of the source in a manner that may adversely affect 
Veolia Environmental Services Page: 46 of 134

Permit No.: V-IL-1716300103-08-01

Expires: October 12, 2013

compliance with any emission standard that is not monitored with a CEMS, the Permittee 

must conduct a comprehensive performance test under the requirements of 40 C.F.R. 

§ 63.1207(f)(1) and (g)(1) to document compliance with the affected emission standard(s) 

and establish operating parameter limits as required under 40 C.F.R. § 63.1209, and 

submit to the Administrator a Notification of ComplianceNOC under 40 C.F.R.

§§ 63.1207(j) and 63.1211(c). [40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(b)(5)(i)(B)]

6. Compliance with the carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emission standards. [40 C.F.R. 

§ 63.1206(b)(6)] This paragraph applies to sources thatthe Permittee if it elects to 

comply with the carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions standards of Ssubpart EEE 

by documenting continuous compliance with the carbon monoxide standard using a 

continuous emissions monitoring system and documenting compliance with the 

hydrocarbon standard during the destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) performance 

test or its equivalent.

(a) If during the acceptable DRE test the Permittee did not obtain hydrocarbon emissions 

data sufficient to document compliance with the hydrocarbon standard, the Permittee 

must either:

(i) Perform, as part of the performance test, an ―equivalent DRE test‖ to document 

compliance with the hydrocarbon standard. An equivalent DRE test is comprised 

of a minimum of three runs each with a minimum duration of 1 hour during which 

the Permittee operates the combustor as close as reasonably possible to the 

operating parameter limits that the Permittee established based on the initial DRE 

test. The Permittee must use the highest hourly rolling average hydrocarbon 

emission level achieved during the equivalent DRE test to document compliance 

with the hydrocarbon standard; or

(ii) Perform a DRE test as part of the performance test.

7. The provisions of 40 C.F.R. § 63.7 apply, except as noted below. [40 C.F.R. 

§ 63.1207(a)]

8. Types of performance tests. [40 C.F.R. § 63.1207(b)]

(a) The Permittee must conduct comprehensive performance tests to demonstrate 

compliance with the emission standards provided by 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart EEE, 

establish limits for the operating parameters provided by 40 C.F.R. § 63.1209, and 

demonstrate compliance with the performance specifications for continuous monitoring 

systems for each incinerator.

(b) Confirmatory performance test. The Permittee must conduct confirmatory 

performance tests on each incinerator to:

(i) Demonstrate compliance with the dioxin/furan emission standard when the source 

operates under normal operating conditions; and
Veolia Environmental Services Page: 47 of 134

Permit No.: V-IL-1716300103-08-01

Expires: October 12, 2013

(ii) Conduct a performance evaluation of continuous monitoring systems required for 

compliance assurance with the dioxin/furan emission standard under 40 C.F.R. 

§ 63.1209(k).

9. The Permittee must commence the initial comprehensive performance test to demonstrate 

compliance with the standards under 40 C.F.R. §§ 63.1219, 63.1220, and 63.1221 not 

later than 12 months after the compliance date. [40 C.F.R. § 63.1207(c)(3)]

10. Frequency of testing. Except as otherwise specified in 40 C.F.R. § 63.1207(d)(4), the 

Permittee must conduct testing periodically as prescribed in 40 C.F.R. § 63.1207(d)(1) 

through (d)(3). 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. The Permittee may 

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

commencing subsequent confirmatory and comprehensive performance testing is based 

on the date of commencement of the previous comprehensive performance test. Unless 

the Administrator grants a time extension under § 63.1207(b)(3)(i), the Permittee must 

conduct testing as follows:

(a) Comprehensive performance testing. Except as otherwise specified in 40 C.F.R. 

§ 63.1207(d)(4), the Permittee must commence testing no later than 61 months after the 

date of commencing the previous comprehensive performance test. 

(b) Confirmatory performance testing. Except as otherwise specified in 40 C.F.R. 

§ 63.1207(d)(4), the Permittee must commence confirmatory performance testing no later 

than 31 months after the date of commencing the previous comprehensive performance 

test. If the Permittee submit data in lieu of the initial performance test, the Permittee 

must commence the initial confirmatory performance test within 31 months of the date 6 

months after the compliance date. To ensure that the confirmatory test is conducted 

approximately midway between comprehensive performance tests, the Administrator will 

not approve a test plan that schedules testing within 18 months of commencing the 

previous comprehensive performance test.

(c) Duration of testing. The Permittee must complete performance testing within 60 days 

after the date of commencement, unless the Administrator determines that a time 

extension is warranted based on its documentation in writing of factors beyond its control 

that prevents the Permittee from meeting the 60-day deadline.

11. Content of performance test plan [40 C.F.R. § 63.1207(f)]. The provisions of 40 C.F.R. 

§§ 63.7(c)(2)(i)–(iii) and (v) regarding the content of the test plan apply. In addition, the 

Permittee must include the following information in the test plan:

12. Operating conditions during testing. [40 C.F.R. § 63.1207(g)] The Permittee must 

comply with the provisions of 40 C.F.R. § 63.7(e). Conducting performance testing 

under operating conditions representative of the extreme range of normal conditions is 

consistent with the requirement of 40 C.F.R. § 63.7(e)(1) to conduct performance testing 

under representative operating conditions.

(a) Comprehensive performance testing 

(i) Operations during testing. For the following parameters, the Permittee must 

operate the combustor during the performance test under normal conditions (or 

conditions that will result in higher than normal emissions):

(A) Chlorine feedrate. The Permittee must feed normal (or higher) levels of 

chlorine during the dioxin/furan performance test;

(B) Ash feedrate. For hazardous waste incinerators, the Permittee must conduct 

the following tests when feeding normal (or higher) levels of ash: The 

semivolatile metalSVM and low volatile metalLVM performance tests; and the 

dioxin/furan and mercury performance tests if activated carbon injection or a 

carbon bed is used; and

(C) Cleaning cycle of the particulate matter control device. The Permittee must 

conduct the following tests when the particulate matter control device undergoes 

its normal (or more frequent) cleaning cycle: The particulate matter, semivolatile 

metalSVM, and low volatile metalLVM performance tests; and the dioxin/furan 

and mercury performance tests if activated carbon injection or a carbon bed is 

used.

(ii) Modes of operation. Given that the Permittee must establish limits for the 

applicable operating parameters specified in § 63.1209 based on operations during 

the comprehensive performance test, the Permittee may conduct testing under two 

or more operating modes to provide operating flexibility.

(iii) Steady-state conditions. 

Prior to obtaining performance test data, the Permittee must operate under 

performance test conditions until the Permittee reaches steady-state operations 

with respect to emissions of pollutants the Permittee must measure during the 

performance test and operating parameters under 40 C.F.R. § 63.1209 for which 
Veolia Environmental Services Page: 53 of 134

Permit No.: V-IL-1716300103-08-01

Expires: October 12, 2013

the Permittee must establish limits. During system conditioning, the Permittee 

must ensure that each operating parameter for which the Permittee must establish 

a limit is held at the level planned for the performance test. The Permittee must 

include documentation in the performance test plan under 40 C.F.R. § 63.1207(f) 

justifying the duration of system conditioning.

(b) Confirmatory performance testing. The Permittee must conduct confirmatory 

performance testing for dioxin/furan under normal operating conditions for the following 

parameters:

(i) Carbon monoxide (or hydrocarbon) CEMS emissions levels must be within the 

range of the average value to the maximum value allowed, except as provided by 

40 C.F.R. § 63.1207(g)(2)(iv). The average value is defined as the sum of the 

hourly rolling average values recorded (each minute) over the previous 

12 months, divided by the number of rolling averages recorded during that time. 

The average value must not include calibration data, startup data, shutdown data, 

malfunction data, and data obtained when not burning hazardous waste;

(ii) Each operating limit (specified in 40 C.F.R. § 63.1209) established to maintain 

compliance with the dioxin/furan emission standard must be held within the range 

of the average value over the previous 12 months and the maximum or minimum, 

as appropriate, that is allowed, except as provided by 40 C.F.R. 

§ 63.1207(g)(2)(iv). The average value is defined as the sum of the rolling 

average values recorded over the previous 12 months, divided by the number of 

rolling averages recorded during that time. The average value must not include 

calibration data, startup data, shutdown data, malfunction data, and data obtained 

when not burning hazardous waste;

(iii) The Permittee must feed chlorine at normal feedrates or greater; and

(iv) If the combustor is equipped with carbon injection or carbon bed, normal cleaning 

cycle of the particulate matter control device.

(v) The Administrator may approve an alternative range to that required by 40 C.F.R. 

§ 63.1207(g)(2)(i) and (ii) if the Permittee documents in the confirmatory 

performance test plan that it may be problematic to maintain the required range 

during the test. In addition, when making the finding of compliance, the 

Administrator may consider test conditions outside of the range specified in the 

test plan based on a finding that the Permittee could not reasonably maintain the 

range specified in the test plan and considering factors including whether the time 

duration and level of the parameter when operations were out of the specified 

range were such that operations during the confirmatory test are determined to be 

reasonably representative of normal operations. In addition, the Administrator 

will consider the proximity of the emission test results to the standard.

13. Operating conditions during subsequent testing. [40 C.F.R. § 63.1207(h)] 
Veolia Environmental Services Page: 54 of 134

Permit No.: V-IL-1716300103-08-01

Expires: October 12, 2013

(a) Current operating parameter limits established under 40 C.F.R. § 63.1209 are waived 

during subsequent comprehensive performance testing.

(b) Current operating parameter limits are also waived during pretesting prior to 

comprehensive performance testing for an aggregate time not to exceed 720 hours of 

operation (renewable at the discretion of the Administrator) under an approved test plan 

or if the source records the results of the pretesting. Pretesting means:

(i) Operations when stack emissions testing for dioxin/furan, mercury, semivolatile 

metalsSVM, low volatile metalsLVM, particulate matter, or hydrogen 

chloride/chlorine gas is being performed; and

(ii) Operations to reach steady-state operating conditions prior to stack emissions 

testing under 40 C.F.R. § 63.1207(g)(1)(iii).

14. Test methods. [40 C.F.R. § 63.1208] The Permittee must use the following test methods 

to determine compliance with the emissions standards of this subpart:

(a) Dioxins and furans. 

(i) To determine compliance with the emission standard for dioxins and furans, the 

Permittee must use:

(A) Method 0023A, Sampling Method for Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-Dioxins 

and Polychlorinated Dibenzofurans emissions from Stationary Sources, EPA 

Publication SW-846 (incorporated by reference—see 40 C.F.R. § 63.14); or

(B) Method 23, provided in 40 C.F.R. Ppart 60, aAppendix A, after approval by 

the Administrator.

(1) The Permittee may request approval to use Method 23 in the performance 

test plan required under § 63.1207(e)(#1)(i) and (ii).

(2) In determining whether to grant approval to use Method 23, the 

Administrator may consider factors including whether dioxin/furan were 

detected at levels substantially below the emission standard in previous 

testing, and whether previous Method 0023 analyses detected low levels 

of dioxin/furan in the front half of the sampling train.

(3) Sources that emit carbonaceous particulate matter, such as coal-fired 

boilers, and sources equipped with activated carbon injection, will be 

deemed not suitable for use of Method 23 unless the Permittee documents 

that there would not be a significant improvement in quality assurance 

with Method 0023A.

(ii) The Permittee must sample for a minimum of 3 hours, and collect a minimum 

sample volume of 2.5 dscm;

(iii) The Permittee may assume that nondetects are present at zero concentration.

(b) Mercury. The Permittee must use Method 29, provided in Aappendix A, 40 C.F.R. 

Ppart 60, to demonstrate compliance with the emission standard for mercury.

(c) Cadmium and lead. The Permittee must use Method 29, provided in aAppendix A, 40 

C.F.R. Ppart 60, to determine compliance with the emission standard for cadmium and 

lead (combined).

Chlorides and Fluorides from Mineral Calcining Exhaust Sources—Impinger 

Method to measure emissions of hydrogen chloride, and Method 26/26A to 

measure emissions of chlorine gas, provided that the Permittee follow the 

provisions in 40 C.F.R. § 63.1208(b)(5)(C)(1) through (6). 

(1) A test must include three or more runs in which a pair of samples is 

obtained simultaneously for each run according to section 11.2.6 of ASTM

summarized in the report and may be done in checklist form; if actions taken are the same 

for each event, only one checklist is necessary. Such a report shall also include the 

number, duration, and a brief description for each type of malfunction which occurred 

during the reporting period and which caused or may have caused any applicable 

emission limitation to be exceeded. Reports shall be required only if a startup or 

shutdown caused the source to exceed any applicable emission limitation in the relevant 

emission standards, or if a malfunction occurred during the reporting period. The startup, 

shutdown, and malfunction report shall consist of a letter containing the name, title, and 

signature of the Permittee or other responsible official who is certifying its accuracy, that 

shall be submitted to the Administrator semiannually (or on a more frequent basis if 

specified otherwise in a relevant standard or as established otherwise by the permitting 

authority in the source's title V permit). The startup, shutdown, and malfunction report 

shall be delivered or postmarked by the 30th day following the end of each calendar half

or other calendar reporting period, as appropriate). If the Permittee is required to submit 

excess emissions and continuous monitoring system performance (or other periodic) 

reports under this part, the startup, shutdown, and malfunction reports required under this 

paragraph may be submitted simultaneously with the excess emissions and continuous 

monitoring system performance (or other) reports. If startup, shutdown, and malfunction 

reports are submitted with excess emissions and continuous monitoring system 

performance (or other periodic) reports, and the Permittee receives approval to reduce the 

frequency of reporting for the latter under 40 C.F.R. § 63.10(e), the frequency of 

reporting for the startup, shutdown, and malfunction reports also may be reduced if the 

Administrator does not object to the intended change. The procedures to implement the 

allowance in the preceding sentence shall be the same as the procedures specified in 40 

C.F.R. § 63.10(e)(3).

8. Immediate startup, shutdown, and malfunction reports. [40 C.F.R. § 63.10(d)(5)(ii)]

Notwithstanding the allowance to reduce the frequency of reporting for periodic startup, 

shutdown, and malfunction reports under § 63.10(d)(5)(i), any time an action taken by the 

Permittee during a startup or shutdown that caused the source to exceed any applicable 

emission limitation in the relevant emission standards, or malfunction (including actions 

taken to correct a malfunction) is not consistent with the procedures specified in the 

affected source's startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan, the Permittee shall report the 

actions taken for that event within 2 working days after commencing actions inconsistent 

with the plan followed by a letter within 7 working days after the end of the event. The 

immediate report required under 40 C.F.R. § 63.10(d)(5)(ii) shall consist of a telephone 

call (or facsimile (FAX) transmission) to the Administrator within 2 working days after 

commencing actions inconsistent with the plan, and it shall be followed by a letter, 

delivered or postmarked within 7 working days after the end of the event, that contains 

the name, title, and signature of the Permittee or other responsible official who is 

certifying its accuracy, explaining the circumstances of the event, the reasons for not 

following the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan, describing all excess emissions 

and/or parameter monitoring exceedances which are believed to have occurred (or could 

have occurred in the case of malfunctions), and actions taken to minimize emissions in 

conformance with § 63.6(e)(1)(i).

 For a container having a design capacity greater than 0.1 m3and less than or equal to 

0.46 m3, the owner or operator must control air emissions from the container in 

accordance with the standards for Container Level 1 controls as specified in 40 C.F.R.

Ppart 63, Ssubpart PP, ―National Emission Standards for Containers.‖ [40 C.F.R. § 

63.688(b)(1)(i)]

2. 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart PP, ―National Emission Standards for Containers‖

40 C.F.R. § 63.922(b)(1) through (b)(3) defines Container Level 1 controls as one of the 

following:

(a) A container that meets the applicable U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) 

regulations on packaging hazardous materials for transportation as specified in paragraph 

40 C.F.R. § 63.922(f). 

 

(b) A container equipped with a cover and closure devices that form a continuous barrier 

over the container openings such that when the cover and closure devices are secured in 

the closed position there are no visible holes, gaps, or other open spaces into the interior 

of the container. The cover may be a separate cover installed on the container (e.g., a lid 

on a drum, a suitably secured tarp on a roll-off box) or may be an integral part of the 

container structural design (e.g., a bulk cargo container equipped with a screw-type cap).

 

(c) An open-top container in which an organic vapor-suppressing barrier is placed on or 

over the regulated-material in the container such that no regulated-material is exposed to 

the atmosphere. One example of such a barrier is application of a suitable organic-vapor 

suppressing foam. 

3. No person shall cause or allow the discharge of more than 3.6 kg/hr (8 lb/hr) of organic 

material into the atmosphere from any emission unit, except as provided in 35 IAC 

219.302, 219.303 or 219.304 and the following exception: If no odor nuisance exists this 

limitation shall apply only to photochemically reactive material [35 IAC 219.301].

4. (a) No person shall cause or allow the emission of smoke or other particulate matter, with 

an opacity greater than 30 percent. [35 IAC 212.123]

(b) The emission of smoke or other particulate matter from any such emission source may 

have an opacity greater than 30 percent but not greater than 60 percent for a period or 

periods aggregating 8 minutes in any 60 minute period, provided that such more opaque

emissions permitted during any 60 minute period shall occur from only one such 

emission source located within a 305 m (1000 ft) radius from the center point of any 

other such emission source owned or operated by such person, and provided further that 

such more opaque emissions permitted from each such emission source shall be limited 

to 3 times in any 24 hour period. [35 IAC 212.123]

(B) Nonapplicable Regulations [40 C.F.R. § 71.6(f)(1)]

1. The affected waste processing units are not subject to 40 C.F.R. pPart 64, Compliance 

Assurance Monitoring (CAM) for Major Stationary Sources, because the units MP1, 

MP2, and the labpack do not use an add-on control device to achieve compliance with an 

emission limitation or standard.

2. The conveyor systems associated with MP1 and MP2 are not subject to the requirements 

of 40 C.F.R. Ppart 63, Subpart DD for transfer systems, because this equipment is used in 

the conveyance of material using a container. [40 C.F.R. § 63.681]

3. Units MP1, MP2 and the lab pack repack are not subject to the requirements of 40 C.F.R.

The affected waste processing units are subject to the following control requirements and 

work practices established by 40 C.F.R. § 63.922(c), (d) and (e): 

1. A container used to meet the requirements of either 40 C.F.R. § 63.922(b)(2) or (b)(3) 

shall be equipped with covers and closure devices, as applicable to the container, that are 

composed of suitable materials to minimize exposure of the regulated-material to the 

atmosphere and to maintain the equipment integrity for as long as it is in service. Factors 

to be considered when selecting the materials for and designing the cover and closure 

devices shall include: organic vapor permeability, the effects of contact with the material 

or its vapor managed in the container; the effects of outdoor exposure to wind, moisture, 

and sunlight; and the operating practices used for container on which the cover is 

installed. [40 C.F.R. § 63.922(c)]

2. Whenever a regulated-material is in a container using Container Level 1 controls, the 

owner or operator shall install all covers and closure devices for the container, and secure 

and maintain each closure device in the closed position except as follows: 

(a) Opening of a closure device or cover is allowed for the purpose of adding material to 

the container as follows: 

(i) In the case when the container is filled to the intended final level in one 

continuous operation, the owner or operator shall promptly secure the closure 

devices in the closed position and install the covers, as applicable to the container, 

upon conclusion of the filling operation.

(ii) In the case when discrete quantities or batches of material intermittently are added 

to the container over a period of time, the owner or operator shall promptly secure 

the closure devices in the closed position and install covers, as applicable to the 

container, upon either: the container being filled to the intended final level; the 

completion of a batch loading after which no additional material will be added to 

the container within 15 minutes; the person performing the loading operation 

leaves the immediate vicinity of the container; or the shutdown of the process 

generating the material being added to the container, whichever condition occurs 

first.

(b) Opening of a closure device or cover is allowed for the purpose of removing material 

from the container as follows:

(i) For the purpose of meeting the requirements of this section, an empty container as

defined in 40 CFR 63.921 may be open to the atmosphere at any time (e.g., covers 

and closure devices are not required to be secured in the closed position on an 

empty container).

(ii) In the case when discrete quantities or batches of material are removed from the 

container but the container does not meet the conditions to be an empty container 

as defined in 40 CFR 63.921, the owner or operator shall promptly secure the 

closure devices in the closed position and install covers, as applicable to the 

container, upon the completion of a batch removal after which no additional 

material will be removed from the container within 15 minutes, or the person 

performing the unloading operation leaves the immediate vicinity of the 

container, whichever condition occurs first.

(c) Opening of a closure device or cover is allowed when access inside the container is 

needed to perform routine activities other than transfer of regulated-material. Examples 

of such activities include those times when a worker needs to open a port to measure 

the depth of or sample the material in the container, or when a worker needs to open a 

manhole hatch to access equipment inside the container. Following completion of the 

activity, the owner or operator shall promptly secure the closure device in the closed 

position or reinstall the cover, as applicable to the container. 

(d) Opening of a spring-loaded pressure-vacuum relief valve, conservation vent, or 

similar type of pressure relief device which vents to the atmosphere is allowed during

normal operations for the purpose of maintaining the container internal pressure in 

accordance with the container design specifications. The device shall be designed to 

operate with no detectable organic emissions when the device is secured in the closed 

position. The settings at which the device opens shall be established such that the 

device remains in the closed position whenever the container internal pressure is within 

the internal pressure operating range determined by the owner or operator based on 

container manufacturer recommendations, applicable regulations, fire protection and 

prevention codes, standard engineering codes and practices, or other requirements for

(D) Monitoring and Testing [40 C.F.R. § 71.6(a)(3)(i)(A)]

1. The Permittee shall comply with the following test methods and procedures requirements 

of 40 C.F.R. § 61.245:

(a) The Permittee shall monitoring, as required in 40 C.F.R. §§ 61.242, 61.243, 61.244, 

and 61.135, as follow:

(i.) The Permittee shall monitor as required by Method 21 of 40 C.F.R. Ppart 60, 

Aappendix A.

(ii.) The detection instrument shall meet the performance criteria of Method 21.

(iii.) The instrument shall be calibrated before use on each day of its use by the 

procedures specified in Method 21.

(iv.) Calibration gases shall be:

(A) Zero air (less than 10 ppm of hydrocarbon in air); and

(B) A mixture of methane or n-hexane and air at a concentration of 

approximately, but less than, 10,000 ppm methane or n-hexane. 

(v.) The instrument probe shall be traversed around all potential leak interfaces as 

close to the interface as possible, as described in Method 21 of 40 C.F.R. Ppart 

60, aAppendix A. 

(c) When equipment is tested for compliance with or monitored for no detectable 

emissions, the Permittee shall comply with the following requirements: 

(i.) The Permittee shall test equipment as required by 40 C.F.R. § 61.245(b)(1) 

through (4).

(ii.) The background level shall be determined, as set forth in Method 21 of 40 C.F.R. 

pPart 60, Aappendix A.

(iv.) The arithmetic difference between the maximum concentration indicated by the 

instrument and the background level is compared with 500 ppm for determining 

compliance.

(d) Each piece of equipment within a process unit that can conceivably contain 

equipment in VHAP service is presumed to be in VHAP service unless the Permittee 

demonstrates that the piece of equipment is not in VHAP service. For a piece of 

equipment to be considered not in VHAP service, it must be determined that the percent 

VHAP content can be reasonably expected never to exceed 10 percent by weight. For 

purposes of determining the percent VHAP content of the process fluid that is contained 

in or contacts equipment, the Permittee shall use procedures that conform to the methods 

described in ASTM Method D-2267 (incorporated by reference as specified in 40 C.F.R.

§ 61.18).

(e) The Permittee may use engineering judgment rather than the procedures in 40 C.F.R.

§ 61.245(d)(1) to demonstrate that the percent VHAP content does not exceed 10 percent 

by weight, provided that the engineering judgment demonstrates that the VHAP content 

clearly does not exceed 10 percent by weight. When the Permittee and the Administrator 

do not agree on whether a piece of equipment is not in VHAP service, however, the 

Permittee shall use the procedures in 40 C.F.R. § 61.245(d)(1).

(f) If the Permittee determines that a piece of equipment is in VHAP service, the 

determination can be revised only after following the procedures in paragraph 40 C.F.R. 

§ 61.245(d)(1).

(g) Samples used in determining the percent VHAP content shall be representative of the 

process fluid that is contained in or contacts the equipment or the gas being combusted in 

the flare.

atmosphere in order to minimize the loss of benzene prior to sampling.

(ii.) A static mixer shall be installed in the process line or in a by-pass line 

unless the owner or operator demonstrates that installation of a static 

mixer in the line is not necessary to accurately determine the benzene 

concentration of the waste stream. 

(iii) The sampling tap shall be located within two pipe diameters of the static 

mixer outlet.

(iv.) Prior to the initiation of sampling, sample lines and cooling coil shall be 

purged with at least four volumes of waste.

(v.) After purging, the sample flow shall be directed to a sample container and 

the tip of the sampling tube shall be kept below the surface of the waste 

during sampling to minimize contact with the atmosphere.

(vi.) Samples shall be collected at a flow rate such that the cooling coil is able 

to maintain a waste temperature less than 10°C (50°F).

(vii.) After filling, the sample container shall be capped immediately (within 5 

seconds) to leave a minimum headspace in the container.

(viii.) The sample containers shall immediately be cooled and maintained at a 

temperature below 10°C (50°F) for transfer to the laboratory. 

(c) When sampling from an enclosed pipe is not feasible, a minimum of three 

representative samples shall be collected in a manner to minimize exposure of the 

sample to the atmosphere and loss of benzene prior to sampling.

insignificant emissions levels from emissions units identified in the 

Permittee’s application [pursuant to 40 C.F.R. § 71.5(c)(11)(ii)]. 

[40 C.F.R. § 71.9(c)(5)(iii)].

7. Fee calculation worksheets shall be certified as to truth, accuracy, and 

completeness by a responsible official in accordance with section 4.0(H)(1). (The 

Permittee should note that the fee calculation worksheet incorporates a section to 

help meet this responsibility.)

8. The Permittee shall retain fee calculation worksheets and other emissions-related 

data used to determine fee payment for 5 years following submittal of fee 

payment. Emission-related data include, for example, emissions-related forms 

provided by the EPA and used by the Permittee for fee calculation purposes, 

emissions-related spreadsheets, and emissions-related data, such as records of 

emissions monitoring data and related support information required to be kept in 

accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 71.6(a)(3)(ii). [40 C.F.R. § 71.9(I)]

9. Failure of the Permittee to pay fees in a timely manner shall subject the Permittee

consistent with 40 C.F.R. § 71.5(a)(1) and (2) and section 4.0(S)(2), above,, the 

Permittee’s failure to have a Ppart 71 permit is not a violation of Ppart 71 or the 

CAA until the permitting authority takes final action on the permit renewal 

application. This protection shall cease to apply if, subsequent to the 

completeness determination, the Permittee fails to submit any additional 

information identified as being needed to process the application by the deadline 

specified in writing by the permitting authority.

5. Renewal of this permit is subject to the same procedural requirements that apply 

to initial permit issuance, including those for public participation and affected 

state and tribal review.

6. The application for renewal shall include the current permit number, description 

of permit revisions and off-permit changes that occurred during the permit term, 

any applicable requirements that were promulgated and not incorporated into the 

permit during the permit term, and other information required by the application 

form.

(T) Operational Flexibility [40 C.F.R. § 71.6(a)(13)]

The Permittee may make changes within the permitted facility without a permit revision, 

including the addition of a new generator or replacement of an existing generator, 

provided the following conditions are met:

1. The changes are not modifications under any provision of Title I of the CAA;

expressed therein as a rate of emissions or in terms of total emissions); and

3. The Permittee notifies the EPA at least 7 days in advance of the proposed 

changes. The written notification shall include a brief description of the change 

within the permitted facility, the date on which the change will occur, any change 

in emissions, and any permit term or condition that is no longer applicable as a 

result of the change.
