63, Subpart EE E apply at all times except: 

(a) —-Durin g 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. Rpart 63, sSubparts LLL , DDDDD , and 

NNNNN ) or 129 of the Clean Air Act in lieu ofthe 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 (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.

6. Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction Plam_ [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)(l)(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) jteduce 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

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 

infonnation (CBI) entitled to protection fi'om 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 Pennittee 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 

40 C.F.R. § 63.6(e)( l )(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)(l)(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 pennitting 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 Pennittee 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 ofthe 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. p£art 

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

written notice describing the revision to the Administrator. 

(vi) An y 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 pennit, 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 44444dPrRMF71.2. J40 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 pennit. 

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

and (3): 

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

projected oxygen conection 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)j> 

(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). J f there is an exceedance of a 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart 

EEE , emission standard monitored by a CEM S 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) ofthe pennit. If the 

malfunction itself prevents immediate and automatic cutoff of the 

hazardous waste feed, the Pennittee 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

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.

(B) Compliance with AWFC O requirements when burning hazardous waste 

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

(1) J f 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)(l)] 

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

2.1(C)(6)(iii)(B)(l), 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. l(C)(6)(b)(iii)(B)(l) of this permit, except as 

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

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 

AWFC O 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 CM S detector, except a CEMS , is met or exceeded;

under section 2.1(D) of this permit and 40 C.F.R. § 63.1209 or an emission level; 

or 

(iv) When any component ofthe AWFC O 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)(h)] 

(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 AWFC O system. _If the AWFC O system fails to automatically and 

immediately cut off the flow of hazardous waste upon exceedance of a parameter 

required to be interlocked with the AWFC O system under section 2.1(C)(7)(a), the 

Permittee has failed to comply with the AWFC O requirements of section 2.1(C)(7). _If

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 ofthe 

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.

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 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart EE E considering emissions during 

the ES V opening event. [40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(c)(4)(i)]

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 perfonnance testing 

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

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

conditions that will result in higher than normal emissions): 

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

chlorine during the dioxin/furan perfonnance test; 

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

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

semivoltitilt; metalSVM and low volatile melulLVM. performance tests; and the

its normal (or more frequent) cleaning cycle: The particulate matter, ^enm-oimhi 

BWtaiSVM. and low voiutile metalLVM performance tests; and the dioxin/furan 

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

used. 

(ii) JVIodes 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 

the Pennittee 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 perfonnance test. The Pennittee must 

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

justifying the duration of system conditioning. 

(b) Confinnatory perfonnance testing. The Pennittee must conduct confirmatory 

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

parameters: 

(i) Carbon monoxide (or hydrocarbon) CEM S 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, nonnal 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

procedures specified in the source's startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan (see 40 

C.F.R. § 63.6(e)(3)), and the startup or shutdown causes the source to exceed any 

applicable emission limitation in the relevant emission standards, the Permittee shall state 

such information in a startup, shutdown, and malfunction report. Actions taken to 

minimize emissions durmg such startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions shall be 

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 perfonnance (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

(C) Work Practice and Operational Requirements [40 C.F.R. § 71.6(a)(1)] 

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 ofthe 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 C.F.R. § 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 C.F.R. § 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 ofthe 

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. Tlie 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 

the safe handling of flammable, ignitable, explosive, reactive, or hazardous materials. 

Examples of normal operating conditions that may require these devices to open are 

during those times when the container internal pressure exceeds the internal pressure 

operating range for the container as a result of loading operations or diurnal ambient 

temperature fluctuations.

(i) "Actual emissions" means the actual rate of emissions in tons per 

year of any "regulated pollutant (for fee calculation)" emihed from 

a Ppart 71 source over the preceding calendar year. Actual 

emissions shall be calculated using each emissions unit's actual 

operating hours, production rates, in-place conhol equipment, and 

types of materials processed, stored, or combusted during the 

preceding calendar year. _[40 C.F.R. § 71.9(c)(6)], 

(ii) Actual emissions shall be computed using methods required by the

Veolia ES Technical Solutions Air Permit 

Sauget, Illinois January 2013 

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to reopen a Clean 

Air Act permit for a hazardous waste combusting facility in southern 

Illinois. U.S. EPA is undertaking this permit action for Veolia ES 

Technical Solutions LLC , 7 Mobile Ave., Sauget, 111., near St. Louis, to 

modify its Clean Air Act Title V operating permit. The revised permit 

would include "feedrate" limits for certain heavy metals. Feedrate limits 

are the maximum amount of heavy metals Veolia can feed into the 

incinerator combustion unit per hour. The heavy metals include mercury, 

arsenic and lead. The permit also would include additional requirements 

for monitoring the waste incinerated by Veolia at the facility. 

U.S. EPA has based the proposed feedrate limits, which comply with 

applicable regulations, on available performance test data. Veolia will 

continue operating the combustors following the requirements of their 

current permit until a final revised permit is issued. U.S. EPA will not 

issue a final permit until after the public has a chance to comment. See the 

left-hand box and read Page 3 for information about the public 

participation process for this proposed permit. 

Background 

The Clean Air Act requires certain sources that emit large amounts of air 

pollution to obtain an operating permit, also known as a Title V permit, 

after the source has begun to operate. This permit is designed to improve 

compliance by clarifying what facilities must do to control ah pollution. 

For this permitting action U.S. EPA is the permitting authority. U.S. EPA 

issued the initial Title V permit to Veolia on September 12,2008. U.S. 

EPA is now proposing to reopen the permit to incorporate feedrate limits 

and monitoring requirements so that the permit complies with the Clean 

Air Act. Only those portions of the permit that US. EPA is proposing to 

change are open for public comment at this time. The federal Agency 

expects the facility to submit an application for a permit renewal in 2013 

and will open the entire permit comment at that time. 

Burning hazardous waste 

Specially designed incinerators, boilers, and industrial furnaces can bum 

hazardous waste. Hazardous waste - which is toxic, flammable, corrosive 

or reacts with other materials - can be produced by businesses or 

manufacturing operations. Burning hazardous waste is one way to safely 

manage it. Burning reduces waste volume by converting solids and liquids 

to ash while desttoying toxic organic compounds. In addition, disposal of 

the ash in a landfill is safer and more efficient than disposal of untreated 

hazardous waste. The ash generated from hazardous waste combustion 

must be tested, and, if found to be hazardous, must be treated for 

remaining toxicity before it is disposed of in a landfill.

U U F SLURRY FLOW 

This diagram shows the combustion process of Unit #2. The combustion processes of Units 3 and 4 are slightly different, but 

follow similar principals. 

Veolia has three hazardous waste combustors: #2, #3, 

and #4 (#1 was closed in 1992). Veolia receives 

hazardous waste in both liquid and solid forms. Liquid 

waste may be stored in a tank farm prior to being 

burned. Gases occasionally escape from the tanks, and 

carbon adsorption units are attached to each tank to 

help control these emissions. Bulk solid wastes are 

stored in four pits in a building prior to combustion. 

The structure is maintained at negative pressure so 

emissions don't escape. Before the waste is burned it is 

packaged into more manageable containers and any 

liquids are absorbed. 

Each combustor has a primary and secondary 

combustion chamber that includes natural gas-fired 

auxiliary burners used during startup, shutdown, 

malfunctions and for additional heat input. The 

combustors are also connected to spray dryer absorbers 

and a baghouse, which help to control ah' pollution. 

Combustor #4 also has a tempering chamber and 

activated carbon injection to further help control air 

pollution. Emissions are constantly monitored for 

carbon monoxide and hydrogen chloride. 

The combustors are supported by a lime handling 

system and an ash handling system. The lime handling 

system supports the spray dry absorber, as lime is an 

important material in this air pollution confrol 

technology. The ash handling system ensures that ash 

produced during the combustion process is collected 

and properly disposed of. 

Pollutants affected by the permit 

The proposed permit action sets feedrate limits for 

mercury, semi-volatile metals such as cadmium and 

lead, and low-volatile metals such as arsenic, beryllium, 

and chromium. Volatility is a measure of how readily a 

substance changes from a solid or liquid to a vapor. 

These pollutants have known negative health effects. 

U.S. EPA is setting feedrate limits in this action that 

comply with applicable federal regulations. More detail 

about each of these pollutants can be found in the 

statement of basis. Information on how to review the 

statement of basis is found on the last page of this fact 

sheet. 

Setting the limits 

The heavy metal feedrate limits were established using 

the results of comprehensive perfonnance tests Veolia 

performed in August and September 2008. U.S. EPA is 

proposing to incorporate into Veolia's Title V permit 

the mercury feedrate limits used by the company during 

its 2008 testing. For the other heavy metals, the federal 

Agency is proposing slightly higher feedrate limits than 

the ones used in the 2008 tests. These higher feedrates 

are allowed under federal regulations. 

Monitoring 

In the proposed revisions to the Title V permit, Veolia 

will be required to install and operate a multi-metals 

continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS) on 

one of its combustion units (Unit #3) for at least one 

V ES 000137 
year. A multi-metals CEMS tests the air emitted during 

the incineration process to determine the amount of 

mercury, semi-volatile metals and low-volatile metals 

emissions, and reports the results approximately once 

every fifteen minutes. The test results will help U.S. 

E PA ensure the feedrate limits are adequate to protect 

air quality. After a year of running the CEMS, U.S. 

E PA believes we will have enough information to 

determine if the feedrate limits we are currently 

proposing are adequate to ensure that Veolia complies 

with the requirements of the Clean Air Act. Once U.S. 

E PA has collected sufficient data, Veolia will no longer 

be required to use the multi-metals CEMS.

Significant Modification 

January 2013 

Purpose 

The purpose of this document is to set forth the legal and factual bases for pennit conditions, 

including references to applicable provisions of the Clean Air Act (CA A or Act) and 

implementing regulations. This document also describes the derivation of conditions as required 

by 40 C.F.R. §71.11(b). 

Summary of Permitting Action 

In this permitting action, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to reopen the 

Title V permit for Veolia ES Technical Solutions, L.L.C . (Veolia or Permihee), pursuant to 40 

C.F.R. § 71.7(f)(iv), to incorporate heavy metal feedrate limits that EP A considers to be 

supported by available performance test data supplied by Veolia. This reopening is necessary to 

ensure that the permit assures compliance with Title V ofthe Ac t and its implementing 

regulations at 40 C.F.R. Part 71, and the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air 

Pollutants (NESHAP) from Hazardous Waste Combustors, 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart EEE . 

E P A is proposing to supplement monitoring requirements to assure compliance with the 

proposed feedrate limits. 

E P A is modifying Veolia's Title V permit pursuant to the significant modification procedures of 

40 C.F.R. § 71.7(e)(3). Thus, EP A is making available for public comment a draft significant 

modification to Title V Pennit No. V-IL-1716300103-08-01 (draft pennit) that contains heavy 

metals feedrate limits proposed by EPA . The draft permit is subject to a minimum 30-day public 

comment period as required by 40 C.F.R. §71.11 (d). Only portions of the pennit that are being 

changed because of the proposed action are open for comment during the comment period.

(B) Facility Description 

Veolia owns and operates a hazardous waste incinerator in Sauget, St. Clair County, Illinois. 

Veolia's Sauget facility is a treatment, storage and disposal facility, which accepts offsite waste 

for further disposal through incineration. Containers and bulk shipments of hazardous and solid 

wastes are received, analyzed and transferred to temporary storage facilities, processed and 

incinerated in one of three combustion units. The facility includes two fixed-hearth, dual 

chamber, multi-type feed incinerators (Combustion Units 2 and 3), each rated at 16 million 

British thermal units per hour (rnmBtu/hr), and one rotary kiln incinerator (Combustion Unit 4), 

rated at 50 mmBtu/hr. Combustion Units 2 and 3 each use spray dry absorbers with lime slurry 

injection to control hydrogen chloride (HCI) emissions and baghouses for particulate matter 

(PM). Combustion Unit 4 uses a spray dry absorber for HCI control, an activated carbon 

injection system for mercury (Hg) control, and a baghouse for P M control. 

Veolia's Sauget facility is operating under a Title V permit that EP A issued on September 12, 

2008, pursuant to 40 C.F.R. Part 71. 

(C) Area Classification 

St. Clair County, Illinois is designated as a moderate nonattainment area for the 8-hour ozone 

National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). It is also designated as a nonattainment area 

for the 1997 annual NAAQ S for particulate matter less than 2.5 micrograms (PM2.5). 1 St. Clair 

County is classified as attainment or unclassifiable with respect to all other NAAQS . 

On May 23, 2011, EPA took final action determining that the Saint Louis PM2. 5 nonattainment area in Illinois and 

Missouri has attained the 1997 annual PM 2 5 NAAQS , based upon quality-assured, quality-controlled, and certified

(D) Basis for Title V ApplicabUity 

Veolia requires a Title V pennit because it is a major source o f hazardous air pollutant (HAP) 

emissions and because it is subject to the requirements established under 40 C.F.R. Part 63, 

Subpart EEE , "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from Hazardous Waste 

Combustors" (HWC MACT) . 

(E) Enforcement Issues 

(a) Violation Notices Issued to Veolia 

On September 27, 2006, EP A issued a Finding of Violation and Notice of Violation (FOV/NOV ) 

to Veolia notifying the company that the Agency found it to be in violation of the Act and the 

following regulations: 40 C.F.R. Part 61, Subpart V , the National Emission Standard for 

Emission Leaks; 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart DD , the National Emission Standard for Hazardous 

A ir Pollutants from Off-Site Waste and Recovery Operations; and 40 C.F.R. Part 61, Subpart FF, 

the National Emission Standard for Benzene Waste Operations. Subsequent to the issuance of 

the FOV/NO V and based on further investigation, EP A found that Veolia was also in 

noncompliance with 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart EEE , the HW C MACT , for failure to timely 

perform compliance testing as required by 40 C.F.R. § 63.1207(c); failure to appropriately 

request the use of an extrapolation methodology as required by 40 C.F.R. § 63.1207(f)(l)(x); 

exceeding the applicable HW C MAC T mercury limit on incinerators 2, 3, and 4, as set forth in 

40 C.F.R. § 63.1206(b)(1); and exceeding the HW C MAC T arsenic emission standard as, set 

forth in 40 C.F.R.§ 63.1203(a)(4). 

On June 12, 2008, EP A issued an FO V to Veolia notifying the company that the Agency found it 

to be in violation ofthe Ac t and the HW C MACT , 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart EE E (64 Fed. Reg. 

53038). On August 24, 2012, after further investigation into Veolia's compliance with the HW C 

MACT , EP A issued another FO V to Veolia notifying Veolia that the Agency found it to be in 

violation of Section 112 ofthe Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 7412, and its implementing regulations for the 

H W C MACT , 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart EE E (64 Fed. Reg. 53038), and Section 114 ofthe Act, 

42 U.S.C. §§ 7414. 2 

ambient air monitoring data for the 2007-2009 monitoring period. This final determination suspends the States' 

obligation to submit a number of plans for this area but is not equivalent to redesignating the area to attainment. 

The designation of the area will remain nonattainment for the 1997 annual PM2 . 5 NAAQ S until such time as EPA 

determines that this area meets the Act requirements for redesignation to attainment. See 76 Fed. Reg. 29652.

 On Febraary 26, 2007, the Illinois EPA referred Veolia to the Illinois Attorney General for alleged violations of the 

Illinois Environmental Protection Act, Illinois Pollution Control Board Regulations, and the HWC MACT. On 

March 5, 2010, after receiving additional information, the Illinois EPA referred additional alleged violations ofthe 

Illinois Environmental Protection Act, Illinois Pollution Control Board Regulations, and the HWC MACT.

(b) Permit Shield 

EPA's regulations at 40 C.F.R. Part 71 allow permitting authorities the discretion to include a 

provision in the pennit stating that compliance with the conditions of the pennit shall be deemed 

compliance with any applicable requirements as of the date of permit issuance, which is 

commonly refened to as a "permit shield." (See 40 C.F.R. § 71.6(f)) EP A has detennined that it 

is appropriate at this time to grant a permit shield for the requirements applicable to the source as 

a result of applicability ofthe following regulations: 40 C.F.R. Part 61, Subpart V , the National 

Emission Standard for Emission Leaks; 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart DD , the National Emission 

Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants from Off-Site Waste and Recovery Operations; and 40 

C.F.R. Part 61, Subpart FF, the National Emission Standard for Benzene Waste Operations. 

E P A has made this detennination because EP A is no longer pursuing the violations as alleged 

under these provisions in the September 27, 2006 FOV/NOV . However, because the remaining 

alleged violations discussed in the June 12, 2008 and August 24,2012 FOVs have not yet been 

resolved and any additional allegations identified as a result of the ongoing investigation may 

result in incorporation into the permit of a compliance schedule to bring this facility into 

compliance, EP A has detennined that it is not appropriate at this time to grant a pennit shield for 

the applicable requirements of the HW C MAC T standard, including those portions ofthe general 

provisions of Part 63 applicable to the source as a result of the applicability of 40 C.F.R. Part 63, 

Subpart EEE . EP A intends to reconsider whether a pennit shield for these provisions is 

appropriate when EP A revises the permit, if necessary, to incorporate changes pursuant to the 

settlement of the enforcement action, and may provide a full permit shield at that time. 

In addition, EP A notes that 40 C.F.R. § 71.6(f)(3) expressly provides that nothing in any Part 71 

permit shall alter or affect the following: 

(i) The provisions of Section 303 of the Ac t (emergency orders), including the authority of 

the Administrator under that section; 

(ii) The liability of an owner or operator of a source for any violation of applicable 

requirements prior to or at the time of permit issuance; 

(iii) The applicable requirements of the acid rain program, consistent with Section 408(a) of 

the Act; or 

(iv) The ability of EP A to obtain information fi-om a source pursuant to Section 114 of the 

Act. 

E P A may reopen the permit to add or modify pennit terms and conditions if EP A determines that 

additional measures are necessary to assure compliance. (See permit conditions 4.0 (J), (K), (L), 

(M), and (N))

(c) Compliance Schedule 

E P A has determined that a compliance schedule is not required at this time to address the 

pending FOVs. A n FO V is simply one early step in the EPA's enforcement process. This step is 

commonly followed by additional investigation or discovery, information gathering, and an 

exchange of views, all of which occur in the context of an enforcement proceeding, and are 

important means of fact-finding under our system of civil litigation. A n FO V is not a final 

agency action and is not subject to judicial review. No binding legal consequences flow from an 

FOV , and an FO V does not have the force or effect of law. See PacifiCorp v. Thomas, 883 F.2d 

661 (9th Cir. 1988); Absetec Constr. Servs. v. EPA, 849 F.2d 765,768-69 (2nd Cir. 1988); Union 

Elec. Co. v. EPA, 593 F.2d 299, 304-06 (8th Cir. 1979); and West Penn Power Co. v. Train, 522 

F.2d 302, 310-11 (3rd Cir. 1975). See also, Sierra Club v. Johnson, 541 F.3d at 1267; Sierra 

Club v. EPA, 557 F.3d at 406409. However, EP A will reopen the permit following resolution of 

EPA's allegations if necessary to incorporate a compliance schedule or any applicable 

requirements.

(b) Title VPermits 

E P A issued a final Title V permit (Permit No . V-IL-1716300103-08-01) to Veolia on September 

12, 2008, and the permit became effective on October 12, 2008. 3 Prior to issuing the final 

permit, EP A reviewed historical metal feedrate data supplied by Veolia to support Veolia's 

proposed operating parameter limits (OPLs) for hazardous air pollutants requhed by the HW C 

MACT , 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart EEE . EP A concluded that reliance on the OPLs submitted by 

Veolia would not assure Veolia's compliance with the applicable requirements in the HW C

MACT. 4 Specifically, EP A detennined that the past data were not reliable for determining 

feedrate OPLs for mercury (Hg), semi-volatile metals (SVM) - lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd), or 

low volatile metals (LVM ) - arsenic (As), chromium (Cr) and beryllium (Be)). 

Based upon EPA's review of Veolia's historical data, on February 22, 2008, EP A issued a 

Request for Information under Section 114 of the Act, 42 U.S.C. § 7414, requiring Veolia to 

complete comprehensive performance tests on all three combustion units. The required testing 

was limited to mercury, low volatile metals and semi-volatile metals. 5 

Since the test results and the OPLs for mercury, SV M and LV M were not available at the time 

that EP A made the initial permit available for public comment, EP A provided the opportunity for 

the public to comment on the compliance schedule, Veolia's performance test plan, and the OP L 

calculation methodologies. EP A required Veolia to submit the results of its testing and a request 

for a significant modification to its Title V permit to incorporate OPLs by October 10,2008. 

Veolia conducted the comprehensive performance tests in August and September 2008. On 

October 10, 2008, Veolia submitted to EP A the August and September 2008 test results, and 

requested a significant modification to its Title V permit to incorporate OPLs for mercury, SV M 

and LVM , as specified in the compliance schedule. However, Veolia withdrew the significant 

modification application on December 13, 2012 after receiving notice from EP A that it intended 

to deny the application and to reopen the pennit to add feedrate limits that EP A considered to be 

supported by the available performance test data. EP A has relied upon the August and 

September 2008 perfonnance test results submitted by Veolia in establishing the feedrate limits 

proposed in this permitting action. 

2.0. PROCESS DESCRIPTION AND EMISSIONS 

(A) Process Description 

Veolia has three combustion units: Units 2, 3, and 4. Combustion Unit 1 was decommissioned 

and closed in 1992. Combustion Units 2 and 3 are custom fixed hearth incinerators. 

Combustion Unit 4 is a rotary kiln incinerator (transportable system converted to a stationary 

unit). Al l three combustion units are fed liquid and solid waste streams, although Veolia 

processes bulk waste only in Combustion Unit 4. Figures 1 through 3 show the combustion 

process flow diagrams for Units 2, 3 and 4, respectively.

 Veolia explained that it could not meet the deadlines in the February 22, 2008 Request for Information because 

stack testing crews and materials were not available. Therefore, EPA extended the testing schedule and limited the 

testing to mercury, low volatile metals and semi-volatile metals. For all other required OPLs, EPA incoqiorated into 

the draft Title V permit parameters that EPA calculated based upon data submitted by Veolia. See Statement of 

Basis for Permit No. V-IL-1716300103-08-01, September 12,2008.

Veolia receives a variety of wastes in containers (drums, roll offs, etc.) and in bulk. These 

wastes come into the facility predominantly i n the form of solids and liquids. Drums are stored 

in various buildings on the property (including an explosives magazine), depending on the 

characteristics ofthe material. 

Drummed liquids may be transferred via drum pumps to tank farm #1 or tank farm #3, or may be 

directly injected into one ofthe three combustion units. Tank farm #1, which services 

Combustion Units 2 and 3, is made up often vertical fixed roof storage tanks. Tank farm #3, 

which services Combustion Unit 4, is made up of eight vertical fixed roof storage tanks. These 

storage tanks release fugitive emissions during filling and emptying of the tanks, as well as when 

the tanks are empty. Emissions from these storage tanks are controlled by an individual carbon 

adsorption unit on each tank. 

Bulk solid wastes are stored in four pits in the bulk feed building. The building is enclosed and 

equipped with a cyclone, baghouse, and carbon adsorption unit. Veolia's Title V permit requires 

Veolia to operate the enclosed building under permanent negative pressure. A clam shell moves 

bulk solids from the bulk feed building through an enclosed gallery to Combustion Unit 4. 

Material processing occurs at units MP-1 and MP-2 , and the lab pack repack areas. Material 

processing involves the repackaging of drummed solids into more manageable containers for 

subsequent incineration. Some of these solids may have free liquids, which are fixed with an

inert absorbent material before repackaging. Lab packs are opened and repackaged into 

acceptable containers for charging to the combustion units. 

Each combustion unit has a primary combustion chamber (PCC) and a secondary combustion 

chamber (SCC). The PCCs and SCCs have natural gas-fired auxiliary burners, which are used 

during startup, shutdown, malfunctions and additional heat input. Liquid wastes are fed into the 

combustion units by air atomized injection nozzles. These feeds are made up of wastes with 

high energy content (high Btu), and aqueous sheams, which are fed to the PCCs on all three 

units. High Btu streams can be fed to the SCCs as well; however, this is done only on 

Combustion Unit 4. Solid waste is fed in batches to the PCCs by conveyors. Each combustion 

unit has an air pollution control train consisting of a spray dryer absorber and baghouse. In 

addition, Combustion Unit 4 has a tempering chamber and activated carbon injection. 

The three combustion units are supported by lime handling systems and ash handling systems. 

The lime handling systems are made up of lime storage silos and slurry mix tanks. There is one 

system for Combustion Units 2 and 3 and one for Combustion Unit 4. The silos are controlled 

by bin vents. Ash handling consists of material collection from the combustion chambers, the 

spray dryer and baghouse. The combustion chamber ash is collected in roll-off boxes. Veolia 

tarps the roll-off boxes to minimize P M emissions. Veolia continuously monitors each 

combustion unit for carbon monoxide and hydrogen chloride/chlorine emissions via a continuous 

emission monitoring system. 

Veolia operates small combustion sources comprising a natural gas-fired boiler as well as two 

emergency generators and a portable Tioga heater. 

Veolia also operates a drum crusher. Drums that are unsuitable for reuse are crushed at the drum 

crusher. Some empty drums may contain residual waste when crushed. These emissions are not 

controlled. 

Fugitive emissions occur facility-wide. The most significant source of fugitive emissions is 

equipment leaks from pipelines and pumps that handle liquid organic waste. The evaporation of 

organics from spills, leaks, and drum sampling also contribute to facility-wide fugitive 

emissions.

3.0. BACKGROUND ON CURRENT PERMITTING ACTIONS 

In this permitting action, EP A is proposing to reopen the Title V permit for Veolia, pursuant to 

40 C.F.R. § 71.7(f)(iv), to incorporate feedrate limits that EP A considers to be supported by 

available performance test data supplied by Veolia. This reopening is necessary to ensure that 

the permit assures compliance with Title V ofthe Ac t and implementing regulations at 40 C.F.R. 

Part 71, and the National Emissions Standards of Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) from 

Hazardous Waste Combustors, 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart EEE. EP A also is proposing to 

supplement monitoring requirements to assure compliance with the proposed feedrate limits. In 

addition to formatting changes, EP A is proposing to reopen the permit as follows: 

1) Revise condition 2.1(C)(2) by adding feedrate limits for mercury, semi-volatile metals, 

and low volatile metals; 

2) Ad d periodic monitoring requirements for the proposed feedrate limits in conditions 

2.1(D)(l)(i) and 2.1(D)(4)(d)(2) (See Section 4.D. below, for details.); and 

3) Revise condition 4.0(U) by granting a permit shield for the requirements applicable to the 

source as a result of applicability of the following regulations: 40 C.F.R. Part 61, Subpart 

V , the National Emission Standard for Emission Leaks; 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart DD , 

the National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants from Off-Site Waste and 

Recovery Operations; and 40 C.F.R. Part 61, Subpart FF, the National Emission Standard 

for Benzene Waste Operations. See Section 1 .E. above, for details. EP A believes this 

revision is appropriate at this time because EP A is no longer pursuing the violations as 

alleged under these provisions in the September 27, 2006 FOV/NOV . 

E P A is modifying Veolia's Title V permit pursuant to the significant modification procedures of 

40 C.F.R. § 71.7(e)(3). Thus, EP A is making available for public comment a draft significant 

modification to Title V Permit No . V-IL-1716300103-08-01 that contains heavy metals feedrate 

limits proposed by EPA . The draft permit is subject to a minimum 30-day public comment 

period as required by 40 C.F.R. §71.11 (d). Only portions of the permit that are being changed 

because ofthe proposed action are open for comment during the comment period. 

(A) Regulatory Background 

The HW C MAC T requires subject facilities to develop OPLs either by using existing 

performance tests or by performing new tests.6 A s allowed by 40 C.F.R. § 63.1207(c)(2), Veolia

chose to use previous emissions test data in lieu of the initial comprehensive performance test. 

As part of its application for the initial Title V permit, Veolia submitted its notice of compliance 

(NOC), including proposed OPLs, some of which Veolia calculated based upon historical 

emissions test data. EP A reviewed the historical emissions test data that Veolia used to calculate 

the proposed OPLs for the initial permit and concluded that reliance on the OPLs proposed by 

Veolia would not assure Veolia's compliance with the applicable requirements in the HW C 

MACT . 

Hazardous waste combustors generally emit their highest emissions while demonstrating 

compliance with emission standards during Resource Conservation and Recovery Ac t (RCRA) 

compliance testing. For real-time compliance during periods between compliance tests, sources 

are required to establish and comply with operating parameters that are representative of 

operating levels achieved during compliance testing. Thus, the emission levels achieved during 

these compliance tests are typically the highest emission levels a source emits under reasonably 

anticipatable circumstances.7 

To ensure that these operating limits do not impede normal day-to-day operations, sources 

generally take measures to operate during compliance testing under conditions that are at the 

extreme high end of the range of nonnal operations. For example, sources often feed ash, 

metals, and chlorine during compliance testing at substantially higher than nonnal levels (e.g., by 

spiking the waste feed) to maximize the feed concentration, and they often detune the air 

pollution conhol equipment to establish operating limits on the control equipment that provide 

operating flexibility. 8 

By designing the compliance test to generate emissions at the extreme high end ofthe nonnal 

range of emissions, sources can establish operating limits that account for variability in 

operations (e.g., composition and feedrate of feedsheams, as well as variability of pollution 

control equipment efficiency) and that do not impede normal operations. Thus, the feedrate limit 

would be based on waste levels fed during the comprehensive performance test unless the 

regulatory authority approves a request for the source to extrapolate to a higher allowable 

feedrate (and emission rate) limit. 9 

(B) Pollutants Affected by this Permit Action 

The proposed permit action sets feedrate limits for mercury, semi-volatile metals (cadmium and 

lead), and low-volatile metals (arsenic, beryllium, and chromium). Volatility is a measure of 

how readily a substance changes from a solid or liquid to a vapor. These pollutants have known 

negative health effects. EP A is setting feedrate limits in this action that comply with applicable 

federal regulations. Each of the pollutants affected by this action is described in further detail 

below.

Mercury is a naturally occuning element (Hg on the periodic table) that is found i n air, water 

and soil. It exists in several forms: elemental or metallic mercury, inorganic mercury 

compounds, and organic mercury compounds. Elemental or metallic mercury is a shiny, silverwhite metal and is liquid at room temperature. If heated, it is a colorless, odorless gas. 

Exposures to mercury can affect the human nervous system and harm the brain, heart, kidneys, 

lungs, and immune system. 

Cadmium, in its purest fonn, is a soft silver-white metal found naturally in the earth's crust. 

Cadmium doesn't have a distinct taste or smell. Breathing high doses of cadmium can irritate 

and damage the lungs and can cause death. However, the greatest concern is from exposure to 

lower doses of cadmium over a long period. The lower and long-term exposure to cadmium 

through air can cause kidney damage. Although the damage is not life threatening, it can lead to 

the formation of kidney stones and affect the skeleton, which can be painful and debilitating. 

Lung damage has also been observed. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has 

classified cadmium and certain cadmium compounds as probable or suspected carcinogens 

(substances that cause cancer). 

Lead is a naturally occurring metal found in small amounts in rock and soil. Exposure to lead 

occurs mainly through inhalation of air and ingestion of lead in food, water, soil, or dust. Once 

taken into the body, lead distributes throughout the body in the blood and is accumulated in the 

bones. Depending on the level of exposure, lead can adversely affect the nervous system, kidney 

function, immune system, reproductive and developmental systems and the cardiovascular 

system. Infants and young children are especially sensitive to even low levels of lead, which 

may contribute to behavioral problems, learning deficits and lowered IQ. 

Arsenic is a naturally occurring element widely distributed in the earth's crust. Inorganic forms 

of arsenic are found throughout the environment; it is released into the air by volcanoes, the 

weathering of arsenic-containing minerals and ores, and by commercial or industrial processes. 

Short-term high-level inhalation exposure to arsenic dust or fumes can cause nausea, diarrhea, 

abdominal pain and nervous system disorders. Long-term inhalation exposure to inorganic 

arsenic can cause initation of the skin and mucous membranes and lung cancer. 

Beryllium is an inorganic metallic element in the periodic table. Because it is an element, it 

does not degrade nor can it be destroyed. Compounds of beryllium are either white or colorless 

and do not have a particular smell. Short-term inhalation exposure to high levels of beryllium 

has been observed to cause initation and swelling of the lungs; after exposure ends, these 

symptoms may be reversible. Long-term inhalation exposure of humans to beryllium has been 

reported to cause chronic beryllium disease, in which noncancerous lesions develop in the lung. 

Human epidemiology studies are limited, but suggest a causal relationship between beryllium 

exposure and an increased risk of lung cancer. 

Chromium occurs naturally in rocks, animals, plants, and soil. It can exist in several different 

forms. Depending on the fonn it takes, it can be a liquid, solid, or gas. The fonn of chromium 

of most concern from a health perspective is chromium (VI), also called hexavalent chromium. 

Inhalation of hexavalent chromium at high levels can damage the respiratory system and cause

cancer. Exposure to chromium occurs from ingesting contaminated food or drinking water or 

breathing contaminated air. It is odorless and tasteless. Air emissions of chromium are 

predominantly of chromium (III), an essential nutrient that helps the body use sugar, protein, and 

fat and in the form of small particles or aerosols. 

(C) Extrapolation of Performance Test Feedrates 

40 C.F.R. § 63.1209(l)(l)(v) and (n)(2)(vii) allows each facility to include as part ofthe 

performance test plan required under 40 C.F.R. §§ 63.7(b) and (c) and 63.1207(e) and (f) a 

request to use the mercury, SV M and LV M feedrates and associated emission rates during the 

comprehensive performance test to extrapolate to higher allowable feedrate limits and emission 

rates, subject to a number of statutory and policy provisions. 1 0 EP A has previously provided the 

following guidance on extrapolation of performance test feedrate levels to calculate metal 

feedrate limits: 1 1 

Extrapolation can be advantageous because it avoids much of the spiking that sources 

normally undertake during compliance testing and the associated costs, risks to operating 

and testing personnel, and environmental loading from emissions. Under an approved 

extrapolation approach, you would be required to feed metals at no less than normal rates 

to narrow the amount of extrapolation requested. Further, we expect that some spiking 

would be desired to increase confidence in the measured, performance test feedrate levels 

that will be used to project feedrate limits (i.e., the errors associated with sampling and 

analyzing heterogeneous feedstreams can be minhnized by spiking known quantities). 

Extrapolation approaches that request feedrate limits that are significantly higher than the 

historical range of feedrates should not be approved. Extrapolated feedrate limits should 

be limited to levels within the range of the highest historical feedrates for the source. We 

are taking this policy position to avoid creating an incentive to bum wastes with higher 

than historical levels of metals. Metals are not destroyed by combustion but rather are 

emitted as a fraction ofthe amount fed to the combustor. If [a source wants to] burn 

wastes with higher than historical levels of metals, [the source] must incur the costs and 

address the hazards to plant personnel and testing crews associated with spiking metals 

into [the] feedstreams during comprehensive performance testing. 

(D) Application Review Timeline 

On October 10, 2008, Veolia submitted a request for a significant modification to its Title V 

permit to incorporate feedrate limits (i.e., OPLs). Veolia requested that EP A estimate metal 

feedrate limits by extrapolating the results of tests performed in August and September 2008 to 

higher metal feedrates, pursuant to 40 C.F.R. § 63.1209(l)(l)(v) and (n)(2)(vii), and to 

incorporate the extrapolated OPLs into the Title V permit. Veolia applied for feedrate limits that 

were 7 to 10 times higher than the 2008 comprehensive tests feedrates.

E P A denied Veolia's requested extrapolation in a letter dated July 17, 2009. EP A denied 

Veolia's request because: 1) Veolia did not consistently conduct its performance tests at the 

"extreme range of normal"; therefore, EP A could not reliably conclude that Veolia would have 

equal system removal efficiencies at the requested feedrate limits; 2) EP A believed that 

extrapolation of mercury feedrates for Unit 4 is not appropriate since the tests did not provide 

sufficient data to understand the relationship between the necessary amount of activated carbon 

needed to maintain the calculated system removal efficiency and different mercury feedrates; and 

3) EP A had a number of concerns with the 2008 comprehensive test procedures. 

On March 2, 2010, Veolia submitted a revised application, dated February 25, 2010, for a 

significant modification of its Title V permit, including a revised request to extrapolate metal 

feedrates. In the application, Veolia requested feedrate limits that are about three times higher 

than the 2008 comprehensive tests feedrates. Veolia submitted additional supporting data on 

historical metal feedrates on March 12 and June 7, 2012. On November 29, 2012, EP A notified 

Veolia that it intended to deny Veolia's February 25, 2010 significant modification application 

and to reopen the permit to add feedrate limits that EP A considers to be supported by the 

available performance test data. 1 2 Subsequently, on December 13, 2012, Veolia withdrew the 

February 25, 2010 significant modification application and pledged to submit a Title V renewal 

application by April 12, 2013.

feed concentrations provided by Veolia's laboratory conhactor (Maxxam). 

b. Median historical feedrate was calculated by EPA from data provided by Veolia on June 7, 2012. 

c. Stack concentrations are estimated from exhaust parameters and "removal efficiencies" reported by Veolia 

in its significant modification application, dated February 25, 2010, except that mercury removal 

efficiencies were recalculated by EPA. The |xg/dscm calculation is a linear estimate and should only be 

used to generally compare the recommended limits with the HWC MAC T emission limitations. 

d. HWC MACT limits are found in 40 C.F.R. § 63.1219. 

l n its laboratory report, Maxxam warned that its mercury spike results should be "viewed with discretion" due to 

the presence of uncertainty in the laboratory measurements. Our review of Veolia's mercury spike preparation 

methodology and data shows that an estimate of spike mercury concentration based on Veolia's spike preparation 

and procedures, including equipment specifications and interviews with Veolia personnel, most accurately 

represents the spike concentrations used in the 2008 test burns.

a) Mercury 

Based on the available information, EP A does not believe that any extrapolation is appropriate 

for mercury for several reasons: 

i . For Combustion Unit 4, which uses an activated carbon injection system to conhol 

mercury emissions, EP A does not have sufficient data to understand the relationship 

between the necessary amount of activated carbon needed to maintain the calculated 

system removal efficiency at different mercury feedrates. 

i i . Mercury was spiked as part of the comprehensive performance test. 1 6 The intended 

purpose of metal spiking when conducting comprehensive tests is to enable a facility to 

verify compliance with MAC T limits under worst-case conditions. 1 7 To protect workers, 

E P A does not encourage unnecessary spiking of metals during comprehensive tests. 

Therefore, i f a facility spikes metals when conducting comprehensive tests, the metal 

spike rates and the native mercury content of the waste should be used to set the feedrate 

limit with little or no extrapolation, provided the conesponding stack emissions assure 

compliance with all MAC T limits with an ample margin of safety. 

Since we do not believe that extrapolation is appropriate for mercury, we are proposing to 

incorporate as mercury feedrate limits the feedrates at which Veolia conducted its 2008 testing. 

For the 2008 test burns, Veolia spiked lead nitrate, chromic acid, mercury nitrate, and hexachloroethane.

SVM ) at no less than the highest 12-hour rolling average during the previous 5 years." However, 

Veolia did not consistently feed metals at rates that are representative of the extreme range of 

normal conditions, as required by 40 C.F.R. §§ 63.7(e)(1) and 63.1207(g). See Tables 2 and 3. 

EPA's policy is not to grant feedrate limits that are significantly higher than the reported 

historical metal feedrates. 1 9 Additionally, we believe that source-specific circumstances, 

including Veolia's compliance history, the variability of its feedstream, and its location in an 

area with significant environmental justice concerns, underscore the need to establish 

conservative feedrate limits for heavy metals. 

Because Veolia's current Title V pennit does not include OPLs for SV M and LVM , EP A has 

determined that it does not assure compliance with the standards at 40 C.F.R. §63.1219. Thus, 

we are proposing to reopen Veolia's pennit, pursuant to 40 C.F.R. §71.7(f)(iv), to incorporate 

S V M and LV M feedrate limits which EP A calculated as follows: 

i . If the feedrate during the 2008 comprehensive performance tests was higher than the 

highest historical 12-hour rolling average feedrate, we used the performance test feedrate 

as the proposed feedrate limit; 

i i . If the feedrate during the 2008 comprehensive perfonnance tests was less than the highest 

historical 12-hour rolling average feedrate, but it was greater than the median historical 

12-hour rolling average feedrate, we used the highest historical 12-hour rolling average 

feedrate as the proposed feedrate limit; 2 0 

iii. If the feedrate during the 2008 comprehensive performance tests was less than the 

median historical 12-hour rolling average feedrate, we used the median historical 12-hour 

rolling average feedrate as the proposed feedrate limit. 2 1

 62 Fed. Reg. 24211, 24238, Fn 51, explains that EP A does not want sources to extrapolate to allowable feedrates 

that are significantly higher than their historical range of feedrates ("... i.e., extrapolated feedrates should be limited 

close to the historical levels that a source actually fed."). 64 Fed. Reg. 52947 adds that EPA took this policy 

position "to avoid creating an incentive to burn wastes with higher than historical levels of metals." Additionally, 

facilities that want to bum wastes with higher than historical levels of metals could do so through spiking of metals 

during comprehensive performance testing, but they "must incur the costs and address the hazards to plant personnel 

and testing crews associated with spiking metals into [their] feed streams." Id. See also 64 Fed. Reg. at 52946.

 Veolia spiked Pb and Cr during the 2008 comprehensive tests, but did not spike As, Be, or Cd. Pb is a SV M 

while Cr is a LVM . We believe a limited amount of extrapolation up to the highest historical 12-hour rolling 

average feedrate is justifiable in this case because only a fraction of SV M was spiked (Cd was not spiked), and only 

a fraction of LV M was spiked (As and Be were not spiked). 

2 1

 As shown in Tables 2 and 3, all of the LV M and SV M test feedrates were higher than the respective median 

historical 12-hour rolling average feedrates.

(C) Non-Applicability Determinations 

40 C.F.R. § 71.6(f)(l)(ii) provides that a permitting authority "may expressly include in a part 71 

pemiit a provision stating that compliance with the conditions ofthe pennit shall be deemed 

compliance with any applicable requirements as of the date of permit issuance, provided that: ... 

[t]he permitting authority, in acting on the pennit application ... determines in writing that... 

requirements specifically identified are not applicable to the source, and the permit includes the 

determination or a concise summary thereof." Conditions 2.1(B), 2.2(B), 2.3(B), 2.4(B), 2.5(B), 

2.6(B), 2.7(B), and 2.8(B) of the Part 71 pennit each describe federal regulations or portions o f 

the Illinois State implementation Plan that EP A has determined do not apply to this facility. Al l 

of the determinations made in the above listed conditions of the permit, which are based on each 

mle's applicability criteria, not the source's potential to emit, or other artificially imposed limits, 

are described specifically in the permit. 

No additional non-applicability determinations have been made with the cunent pennitting 

action. 

(D) Periodic Monitoring 

(a) Proposed Requirements 

Where the applicable requirement does not require periodic testing or instrumental or 

noninstrumental monitoring (which may consist of recordkeeping designed to serve as 

monitoring), 40 C.F.R. § 71.6(a)(3)(i)(B) requires that each pennit contain "periodic monitoring 

sufficient to yield reliable data from the relevant time period that are representative of the 

source's compliance with the pennit.... Such monitoring requirements shall assure use of terms, 

test methods, units, averaging periods, and other statistical conventions consistent with the 

applicable requirement. Recordkeeping provisions may be sufficient to meet [these monitoring] 

requirements...." The initial permit established periodic monitoring in the following conditions: 

2.2(D)(12); 2.2(E)(2); 2.2(E)(3); 2.3(D); 2.3(E)(2); 2.4(D)(4); 2.4(D)(6); 2.5(D)(3); 2.5(D)(6); 

2.6(D)(1); and 2.7(D)(1). 

Under the HW C MACT , each subject facility must conduct comprehensive perfonnance tests to 

establish metal feedrate limits, and must analyze its feedstream prior to feeding the material into 

the incinerator and document the amount of mercury, LV M (arsenic, beryllium, chi'omium) and 

S V M (lead and cadmium) in each feedstream. The facility must either comply with the feedrate 

limits or it may petition EP A to install and operate continuous emission monitoring systems 

(CEMS) to directly measure emissions and document compliance with the MAC T limits. 40 

C.F.R. § 63.1209(c) requires that a subject facility have a feedstream analysis plan (FAP) "that is 

sufficient to document compliance with the applicable feedrate limits." The plan must be 

submitted to EP A on request. 

E P A has reviewed Veolia's FA P and determined that it is necessary to supplement the mercury, 

L V M and SV M analysis procedures contained in the FA P in order to assure compliance with 

H W C MAC T limits and the proposed feedrate limits. To address the identified deficiencies in 

20 

V ES 000158

Title V Permit No. V-IL-1716300103-08-01 Significant Modification 

Veolia's FAP , and assure compliance with the operating parameter limits, EP A has specified 

mercury, LV M and SV M analysis procedures in the permit. Additionally, as further discussed 

below, we are proposing that Veolia install and operate a multi-metals continuous emissions 

monitoring system (CEMS) on Combustion Unit 3 for a period of at least 12 months. The 

temporary use of the CEM S in conjunction with compliance with the OPLs, the feedstream 

analysis plan, and the supplements to the plan included in the permit will assure that the OPLs 

established in the permit are adequate to assure compliance with the metals emissions limits in 

the HW C MACT . 

The proposed feedstream analysis procedures, which are found in conditions 2.1(D)(l)(i) and 

2.1(D)(4)(d)(2), supplement any other mercury, LV M and SV M analysis procedures specified in 

Veolia's FA P and supersede any less stringent provisions in the FAP . Incorporation of these 

requirements into the Title V pennit does not eliminate Veolia's obligation to maintain an 

adequate FAP , consistent with 40 C.F.R. § 63.1209(c); rather, we are specifying minimum 

feedstream analysis procedures to assure compliance with the applicable HW C MAC T limits. 

(b) Advantages of Using Multi-Metals CEM S 

Generally, feedstream analysis poses several challenges including the uncertainty associated with 

1) measurement of extremely low metal concentrations in the feedstream (i.e., concentrations at 

or near the detection limit of the measurement device); 2) heterogeneity of the hazardous waste, 

which may lead to a non-representative sample and hence an inaccurate estimate ofthe metal 

feed concentration; and 3) inability to demonstrate continuous compliance with MAC T limits, as 

required by the HW C MACT , since there is generally a considerable time lag time between 

sampling and analysis. 

The uncertainties caused by feedstream analysis are largely solved when an EPA-approved 

CEM S is used to directly measure emissions. First, unlike feedstream analysis, CEM S monitor 

emissions continuously or semi-continuously. 2 2 The use of CEM S is the most direct means of 

ensuring compliance with emissions limits, which helps protect public health and the 

environment. Generally, EP A considers other options for monitoring compliance when CEM S 

are not available or when we determine that requiring CEM S is unnecessary or unreasonable. 

For example, the HW C MAC T does not mandate the use of CEM S to document compliance with 

the HW C MAC T limits for mercury, LVM , SVM , or chlorine based in part on EPA's 

determination that performance specifications for mercury or multi-metals CEM S were not yet 

available at the time of finalization of that rule. However, pursuant to 40 C.F.R. § 

63.1209(a)(l )(i), the source must use either a carbon monoxide or hydrocarbon CEM S to 

demonstrate and monitor compliance with the carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon standard, and 

an oxygen CEM S to continuously correct the carbon monoxide or hydrocarbon level to 7 percent 

2 i

 Depending on the sampling and analytical technique used by the CEMS, a brief time lag typically exists between 

measurements due to the amount of time needed to collect and analyze each sample and to conduct quality assurance 

checks. For example, in the XactTM multi-metals CEMS (Cooper Environmental Services, LLC, Portland, Oregon), 

sampling and analysis occurs simultaneously within the instrument except for the time required to advance the tape 

(about 20 seconds) and the time required for automated quality assurance checks. See XactTM 640 Multi-Metal 

Continuous Emissions Monitoring System. Specification Data Sheet. Available at: http://sitatic.pall.com/pdfs/OEMMedia-Membranes-and-Materials/PGXACT640EN.pdf.

oxygen. For PM , pursuant to 40 C.F.R. § 63.1209(a)(l)(iii), the source must install, calibrate, 

maintain, and operate a P M CEM S to demonstrate and monitor compliance with the P M 

standards at such time that the Agency promulgates all performance specifications and 

operational requirements applicable to P M CEMS . Under 40 C.F.R. § 63.1209(a)(5), the source 

may petition the Administrator to use CEM S for compliance monitoring for PM , mercury, 

semivolatile metals, low volatile metals, and hydrogen chloride and chlorine gas under 40 C.F.R. 

§ 63.8(f) in lieu of compliance with the conesponding operating parameter limits. 

Second, modem multi-metals CEM S have been shown to be more accurate and reliable than 

feedstream analysis for monitoring mercury and other hazardous metal emissions from 

combustion of heterogeneous feedstreams. Without a CEM S most emission excursions from 

combustion of such heterogeneous feedstreams would go undetected. A CEM S could alleviate 

this concern by giving the facility instantaneous data, thus enabling it to make changes that 

compensate for the increased metals in the feedstream before emissions become excessive. 2 3 

Although a momentary exceedance of the emission limit would not be expected to immediately 

affect the 12-hour rolling average used for demonstrating compliance, the facility operator could 

rely on the instantaneous data to initiate various conective actions before there is a compliance 

or safety problem. Instantaneous data typically gives a facility plenty of time to optimize 

perfonnance before employee or public safety is threatened. 

Third, the use of CEM S has the potential to enable the facility to increase waste feedrates by 

directly monitoring emissions and showing that the HW C MAC T limits are not exceeded at 

higher feedrates. This could be attractive to a facility that wants flexibility in feedrates to 

account for expected or unplanned variability in waste profiles. 

(c) Availability of Multi-Metals CEMS 

Multi-metals CEM S are commercially available and have been demonstrated to be reliable for 

measuring mercury and other metal emissions from hazardous waste combustors. Multi-metals 

CEM S measure the amount of mercury and a number of other trace metals, and thus the 

installation of a multi-metals CEM S eliminates the need for a mercury CEMS . Unlike mercury 

CEMS , which measure only mercury emissions, a multi-metals CEM S enables a facility such as 

Veolia to directly measure the actual stack concentrations of a number of HA P metals in the 

homogeneous exhaust gas stream instead of sampling and analyzing a fraction ofthe 

heterogeneous waste being fed to the incinerator. Because the multi-metals CEM S provides 

real-time data, Veolia can determine its compliance with HW C MAC T limits in near real time 

and make prompt adjustments to process parameters (temperature, oxygen, feed rate, etc.) to 

minimize emissions. 

E P A has approved the use of multi-metals CEM S as alternative monitoring methodologies at 

hazardous waste combustors. EP A has performed side-by-side evaluations of multi-metals 

CEM S with EP A Method 29 of Appendix A- 8 to 40 C.F.R. Part 60 at industrial waste

2010). In addition, performance specifications and quality assurance (QA) procedures are now 

available for both mercury and multi-metals CEMS .

 4 EP A has published performance 

specifications and Q A procedures for multi-metal CEM S as OT M 16 (Specifications and Test 

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

Systems at Stationary Sources) and OT M 20 (Quality Assurance Requirements for X-RayFluorescence Based Multi-Metals Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems at Stationary 

Sources). 2 5 Moreover, multi-metals CEM S are an accepted option for metals emission 

compliance in the recently promulgated mercury and air toxics (MATS ) rule. 77 Fed. Reg. 9303 

(February 16, 2012). Therefore, the multi-metals CEM S has been proven to be reliable for 

measuring actual emissions of HA P metals from a hazardous waste combustor such as Veolia. 

E P A recently evaluated, at several facilities, a commercial version of a multi-metals CEM S 

capable of measuring up to 20 or more HA P metals in real time. The XactTM multi-metals 

CEM S was developed by Cooper Environmental Services, LL C (10180 SW Nimbus Avenue, 

Suite J6, Portland, Portland, Oregon 97223) and is now being marketed by Pall Corporation (25 

Harbor Park Drive, Port Washington, New York 11050). The system uses reel-to-reel (RTR) 

filter tape sampling technology followed by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis of metals in the 

deposit. The process begins when an isokinetic sub-sample of stack gas is taken from the stilling 

chamber and drawn through a chemically-reactive filter tape. Vapor phase metals, including Hg, 

are deposited on the reactive filter tape along with the particulate matter. The resulting deposit is 

then automatically advanced and analyzed by XR F for selected metals while the next sample is 

being collected. The XR F sample analysis technique does not destroy the sample, which allows 

for possible sample archiving and re-analysis at a later time. 2 6 '

2 7

 The XactTM multi-metals 

CEM S can measure up to 20 or more metals simultaneously including arsenic, cadmium, 

Performance Specification 10 (for multi-metals CEMS) and Performance Specification 12 for mercury CEMS 

were proposed in 1996 in conjunction with the original HWC MACT . However, because the multi-metals and 

mercury CEMS measurement technologies had not been fully developed and demonstrated, neither performance 

specification was promulgated. Between 2003 and 2005, Performance Specification 12A for mercury CEMS was 

proposed and promulgated in conjunction with the Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR) after extensive demonstration 

of mercury CEM S and identification of appropriate performance parameters. In 2007, CAM R was vacated by the 

U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, which called into question the legality of using Performance 

Specification 12A. It has since been re-proposed in conjunction with amendments to the Portland Cement 

NESHAP. See http://wwvv.epa.gOv/ttn/emc/monitor.html#metals

EPA's Emissions Measurement Center (EMC) located within the Office of Air Quality Planning 

and Standards (OAQPS) has also recently evaluated the use ofthe multi-metals CEM S 

technology for ambient fenceline multi-metals monitoring for compliance determination, 

ambient health exposure studies, and for locating and evaluating unknown sources of metals 

emissions. In 2010-2011, EM C deployed the XactTM 625 fenceline multi-metals monitor at two 

sites in Ohio in coordination with EP A Region 5, EP A Office of Research and Development 

(ORD) and Ohio EPA . The XactTM 625 reports hourly ambient air metals concentrations in near 

real-time, which allows for faster data acquisition and decision making over conventional filterbased monitoring methods. EPA's Ohio studies show excellent comparability between the 

XactTM 625 and conventional, filter-based, metals monitoring methods. 

Several additional multi-metals CEM S are under development, including several efforts focused 

on laser-based atomic emission spectroscopy (AES), microwave AE S and spark-based AES. 3 4 

However, EP A is not aware that any of these other technologies are currently commercially 

available. 

(d) Proposed Multi-Metals CEMS Requirements 

Veolia's waste streams are heterogeneous (i.e., the composition of the waste is variable within 

each waste stream). Also, some wastes burned by Veolia have unknown composition because 

their composition profiles have not been provided by the respective waste generator. In many 

cases, Veolia relies on waste composition analyses supplied by the individual waste generators 

but these analyses may not be accurate. Moreover, perfonnance testing that is conducted 

periodically by Veolia provides only a snapshot of emissions and does not necessarily represent 

actual emissions perfonnance with respect to all waste streams burned by Veolia throughout the 

year. The use of a multi-metals CEM S is the only sure way to verify that Veolia's feedstream 

analysis procedures and the proposed feedrate limits are sufficient to assure continuous 

compliance with the HW C MAC T limits. 

To verify that Veolia's feedstream analysis procedures and the proposed feedrate limits are 

sufficient to assure continuous compliance with the HW C MAC T limits while operating at the 

permit's feedrate limits, EP A is proposing that Veolia install and operate a multi-metals CEM S 

on Combustion Unit 3 for a period of at least 12 months. EP A is proposing Combustion Unit 3 

because, based on EPA's proposed feedrate limits, EP A estimates that Combustion Unit 3 has 

the highest potential emissions of mercury, SV M or LV M of any o f the combustion units (Table 

2 above). 3 5 

During the temporary 12-month period, Veolia would continue to monitor feedrate limits using 

the procedures in its feedstream analysis plan and the enhanced feedstream analysis procedures 

proposed in the revised permit, hi addition, during the 12-month period when the multi-metals 

3 4

 Unit 3 is nearly identical to Unit 2, by design; therefore, the CEMS data from Unit 3 can be used to deduce the 

emissions performance of Unit 2 without making significant assumptions. Unit 4 uses an activated carbon injection 

system to control mercury emissions, which makes it more difficult to extrapolate emissions data from Unit 4 to 

other uncontrolled units.

CEM S is being operated, Veolia would be required to comply with the feedrate limits for 

mercury, LV M or SV M for Unit 3. This would allow Veolia to demonstrate to EP A that the 

feedrate limits are sufficiently stringent to assure compliance with the metals emissions limits. 

At the end of the 12-month period, Veolia could petition EP A to continue to use the multi-metals 

CEM S as the primary means of compliance in lieu of complying with the feedrate limits. 

If operation of the multi-metals CEM S reveals that any of the feedrate limits included in Veolia's 

permit must be made more stringent in order to assure compliance with the applicable emissions 

limits, EP A would reopen the permit, pursuant to 40 C.F.R. § 71.7(f), to either revise the affected 

feedrate limits or require permanent operation ofthe multi-metals CEMS . On the other hand, if 

operation of the multi-metals CEM S reveals that any of the feedrate limits included in the permit 

are more stringent than necessary to assure compliance with the apphcable emissions limits, 

Veolia could petition EP A to use the results of historical comprehensive performance tests, 

feedstream analysis, and CEM S data to establish higher feedrate limits for the affected 

incineration units provided the CEM S data demonstrate that compliance would be assured at the 

higher feedrate limits regardless ofthe waste burned. 

(E) Streamlining 

Pursuant to 40 C.F.R. § 71.6(a)(3)(i)(A), if two or more applicable requirements regulate 

emissions of the same pollutant from the same emissions unit, EP A may allow a permittee to 

comply with a streamlined set of monitoring or testing provisions, provided that the specified 

monitoring or testing is adequate to assure compliance at least to the same extent as the 

monitoring or testing applicable requirements that are not included in the permit as the result of 

the streamlining. In the initial permit, EP A streamlined requirements i n Conditions 2.1(C)(7)(g) 

and 2.1(C)(12). 

No additional streamlining was performed as part of the current permitting action.

Veolia ES Technical Solutions, L.L.C. Statement of Basis 

Title V Permit No. V-IL-1716300103-08-01 Significant Modification 

To assure compliance with the HW C MAC T requirements, EP A has proposed permit limits that 

will protect the ah quality around Veolia, which will benefit the entire community. 

To ensure compliance with the proposed feedrate limits, EP A has included in the Title V permit 

enhanced monitoring requirements for heavy metals (mercury, arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, 

chromium and lead). The enhanced monitoring requirements are based on site-specific 

conditions at the Veolia facility and in the surrounding community. Previous site-specific 

dispersion modeling and risk assessment, conducted by EP A for purposes of RCR A permitting, 

showed that mercury emissions from the Veolia facility could result in deposition of mercury in 

and around lakes used for fishing downwind of the facility. 4 0 The proposed enhanced mercury 

monitoring requirements will help protect human health and the environment from the 

consequences of mercury emissions by providing further assurance that the permitted mercury 

limits will not be exceeded. 

To verify that Veolia's feedstream analysis procedures and the proposed feedrate limits are 

sufficient to assure continuous compliance with the HW C MAC T limits, EP A is proposing that 

Veolia install and operate a multi-metals CEM S on Combustion Unit 3 for a period of at least 12 

months. EP A is proposing Combustion Unit 3 because, based on EPA's proposed feedrate 

limits, EP A estimates that Combustion Unit 3 has the highest potential emissions of mercury, 

S V M or LV M of any of the combustion units. 

Due to the facility's location in an area with significant EJ concerns, EP A believes it is important 

to provide enhanced public participation opportunities to overburdened communities near 

Veolia. The specific public participation opportunities for this permitting action are described in 

a focus sheet accompanying this Statement of Basis (see Docket ID EPA-R05-OAR-2012-0649). 

We believe that more transparency and dialogue can lead to better permit outcomes for the 

community as well as permit applicants.

U.S. EPA Proposes to Reopen 

Title V Air Permit 

Veolia ES Technical Solutions Air Permit 

Sauget, Illinois February 2013 

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to reopen a Clean 

A ir Act permit for a hazardous waste combusting facility in southern 

Illinois. U.S. EPA is undertaking this permit action for Veolia ES 

Technical Solutions LLC , 7 Mobile Ave., Sauget, III, near St. Louis, to 

modify its Clean Air Act Title V operating permit. The revised permit 

would include "feedrate" limits for certain heavy metals. Feedrate limits 

are the maximum amount of heavy metals Veolia can feed into the 

incinerator combustion unit per hour. The heavy metals include mercury, 

arsenic and lead. The permit also would include additional requirements 

for monitoring the waste incinerated by Veolia at the facility. 

U.S. EPA has based the proposed feedrate limits, which comply with 

applicable regulations, on available performance test data. Veolia will 

continue operating the combustors following the requirements of their 

current permit until a final revised permit is issued. U.S. EPA will not 

issue a final permit until after the public has a chance to comment. See the 

left-hand box and read Page 3 for information about the public 

participation process for this proposed permit. 

Background 

The Clean Air Act requires certain sources that emit large amounts of air 

pollution to obtain an operating permit, also known as a Title V permit, 

after the source has begun to operate. This pennit is designed to improve 

compliance by clarifying what facilities must do to control air pollution. 

For this permitting action U.S. EPA is the permitting authority. U.S. EPA 

issued the initial Title V permit to Veolia on September 12,2008. U.S. 

E PA is now proposing to reopen the permit to incorporate feedrate limits 

and monitoring requirements so that the permit complies with the Clean 

Air Act. Only those portions of the pennit that US. EPA is proposing to 

change are open for public comment at this time. The federal Agency 

expects the facility to submit an application for a permit renewal in 2013 

and will open the entire permit comment at that time. 

Burning hazardous waste 

Specially designed incinerators, boilers, and industrial furnaces can burn 

hazardous waste. Hazardous waste - which is toxic, flammable, conosive 

or reacts with other materials - can be produced by businesses or 

manufacturing operations. Burning hazardous waste is one way to safely 

manage it. Burning reduces waste volume by converting solids and liquids 

to ash while destroying toxic organic compounds. In addition, disposal of 

the ash in a landfill is safer and more efficient than disposal of untreated 

hazardous waste. The ash generated from hazardous waste combustion 

must be tested, and, if found to be hazardous, must be treated for 

remaining toxicity before it is disposed of in a landfill.

This diagram shows the combustion process of Unit #2. 

follow similar principals. 

The combustion processes of Units 3 and 4 are slightly different, but 

Veolia has three hazardous waste combustors: #2, #3, 

and #4 (#1 was closed in 1992). Veolia receives 

hazardous waste in both liquid and solid forms. Liquid 

waste may be stored in a tank farm prior to being 

burned. Gases occasionally escape from the tanks, and 

carbon adsorption units are attached to each tank to 

help control these emissions. Bulk solid wastes are 

stored in four pits in a building prior to combustion. 

The structure is maintained at negative pressure so 

emissions don't escape. Before the waste is burned it is 

packaged into more manageable containers and any 

liquids are absorbed. 

Each combustor has a primary and secondary 

combustion chamber that includes natural gas-fired 

auxiliary burners used during startup, shutdown, 

malfunctions and for additional heat input. The 

combustors are also connected to spray dryer absorbers 

and a baghouse, which help to control ah pollution. 

Combustor #4 also has a tempering chamber and 

activated carbon injection to further help control air 

pollution. Emissions are constantly monitored for 

carbon monoxide and hydrogen chloride. 

The combustors are supported by a lime handling 

system and an ash handling system. The lime handling 

system supports the spray dry absorber, as lime is an 

important material in this air pollution control 

technology. The ash handling system ensures that ash 

produced during the combustion process is collected 

and properly disposed of. 

Pollutants affected by the permit 

The proposed permit action sets feedrate limits for 

mercury, semi-volatile metals such as cadmium and 

lead, and low-volatile metals such as arsenic, beryllium, 

and chromium. Volatility is a measure of how readily a 

substance changes from a solid or liquid to a vapor. 

These pollutants have known negative health effects. 

U.S. EPA is setting feedrate limits in this action that 

comply with applicable federal regulations. More detail 

about each of these pollutants can be found in the 

statement of basis. Information on how to review the 

statement of basis is found on the last page of this fact 

sheet. 

Setting the limits 

The heavy metal feedrate limits were established using 

the results of comprehensive performance tests Veolia 

performed in August and September 2008. U.S. EPA is 

proposing to incorporate into Veolia's Title V permit 

the mercury feedrate limits used by the company during 

its 2008 testing. For the other heavy metals, the federal 

Agency is proposing slightly higher feedrate limits than 

the ones used in the 2008 tests. These higher feedrates 

are allowed under federal regulations. 

Monitoring 

In the proposed revisions to the Title V permit, Veolia 

will be required to install and operate a multi-metals 

continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS) on 

one of its combustion units (Unit #3) for at least one 

V ES 000169 
year. A multi-metals CEMS tests the air emitted during 

the incineration process to determine the amount of 

mercury, semi-volatile metals and low-volatile metals 

emissions, and reports the results approximately once 

every fifteen minutes. The test results will help U.S. 

EPA ensure the feedrate limits are adequate to protect 

air quality. After a year of running the CEMS, U.S. 

EPA believes we will have enough information to 

determine if the feedrate limits we are currently 

proposing are adequate to ensure that Veolia complies 

with the requirements of the Clean Air Act. Once U.S. 

E PA has collected sufficient data, Veolia will no longer 

be required to use the multi-metals CEMS. 

Public participation 

You can participate in the decision-making process on 

the permit by submitting comments during the public 

comment period that runs from Jan. 8 to April 1, 2013 

or at the Feb. 19 public hearing in East St. Louis (see 

frontpage box). 

A ll written comments must be postmarked or emailed 

no later than April 1,2013. U.S. EPA will consider all 

written and oral comments received within the public 

comment period will be considered before making a 

final decision on the proposed action. U.S. EPA will 

consider written statements and supporting information 

submitted during the comment period with the same 

weight as any oral comments and supporting 

information presented at the public hearing. Your 

comments should include your name and address and 

all reasonable references, factual grounds, and 

supporting material. Be sure to note whether you would 

like to receive notification of U.S. EPA's final decision 

regarding the permit and its responses to comments 

submitted during the public comment period.

NOTICE OF PROPOSED MODIFICATION OF VEOLIA'S TITLE V PERMIT 

This notice is to inform the public that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is reopening a 

Clean Air Act Title V operating permit for Veolia ES Technical Solutions, L.L.C . (Veolia), 

located at 7 Mobile Avenue, Sauget, St. Clair County, Illinois, to add feedrate limits for certain 

heavy metals. The heavy metals include mercury, semi-volatile metals (cadmium and lead), and 

low volatile metals (arsenic, beryllium, and chromium). 

A. Facility Description 

Veolia owns and operates a hazardous waste incinerator in Sauget, St. Clair County, Illinois. 

Veolia's Sauget facility is a treatment, storage and disposal facility, which accepts offsite waste 

for disposal through incineration. Veolia receives containers and bulk shipments of hazardous 

and solid wastes, transfers them to temporary storage facilities, processes them, and incinerates 

them in one of three combustion units. The facility includes two fixed-hearth, dual chamber, 

multi-type feed incinerators (Incinerators 2 and 3), each rated at 16 million British thermal units 

per hour (mmBtu/hr), and one rotary kiln incinerator (Incinerator 4), rated at 50 mmBtu/hr. 

Incinerators 2 and 3 each use spray dry absorbers with lime slurry injection to control hydrogen 

chloride emissions and baghouses for particulate matter. Incinerator 4 uses a spray dry absorber 

for hydrogen chloride control, an activated carbon injection system for mercury control, and a 

baghouse for particulate matter control. 

Veolia's Sauget facility is located just east of St. Louis, Missouri, in an area with potential 

environmental justice concerns. 

B. Proposed Actions 

E P A has determined that Veolia's current Title V permit does not assure compliance with the 

standards at 40 C.F.R. § 63.1219. Therefore, EP A is reopening Veolia's permit pursuant to 40 

C.F.R. § 71.7(f)(iv) to 1) incorporate feedrate limits that EP A considers to be supported by the 

available test data, and 2) supplement monitoring requirements, as necessary, to assure 

compliance with the proposed feedrate limits. Thus, EP A is making available for public 

comment a draft significant modification to Title V Permit No. V-IL-1716300103-08-01 (draft 

permit). The draft permit is subject to a minimum 30-day public comment period as required by 

40 C.F.R. §§ 71.7(f) and 71.11(d). 

A s required by 40 C.F.R. § 71.11(b), EP A has provided the reasons supporting our proposed 

actions in a statement of basis which is available as part of the administrative record for this 

action. 

C. Request for Public Comment 

E P A requests public comment on our proposal to reopen and modify Veolia's Title V permit. 

The public comment period for EPA's draft permit ends March 15, 2013. Only portions of the

V ES 000172 
in the public docket without change and may be made available to the public, including any 

personal information provided, unless the comment includes Confidential Business Information 

(CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Information that you 

consider CBI or otherwise protected should be clearly identified as such and should not be 

submitted through e-mail. If you send e-mail directly to EPA , your e-mail address will be 

captured automatically and included as part ofthe public comment. 

D . Fina l Decision 

After EP A has considered all relevant comments received prior to the end of the public comment 

period and all comments made during the public hearing, EP A will decide whether or not to 

proceed with the adoption of EPA's proposed feedrate limits and monitoring requirements. 

If EP A decides to adopt the proposed feedrate limits and monitoring requirements, the final 

permit will become effective 30 days after the service of notice ofthe decision, pursuant to 40 

C.F.R. § 71.1 l(i)(2), unless (i) a later effective date is specified in the decision; (ii) review is 

requested under 40 C.F.R. § 71.11(1) (in which case the specific terms and conditions of the 

permit which are the subject of the request for review shall be stayed); or (iii) no comments 

requested a change in the draft permit, in which case the permit shall become effective 

immediately upon issuance. 

The final permit is a public record that can be obtained upon request. A statement of reasons for 

changes made to the draft permit and responses to comments received will be sent to all persons 

who commented on the draft permit. Please note that an e-mail or postal address must be 

provided with your comments if you wish to receive direct notification of EPA's final decision 

regarding the permit and its responses to comments submitted during the public comment period. 

If you believe any condition ofthe draft permit is inappropriate or that our initial decision to 

prepare the draft permit is inappropriate, you must raise all reasonably ascertainable issues and 

submit all reasonably ascertainable arguments supporting your position by the end of the 

comment period. 

E. Appea l Procedures 

Within 30 days after a final permit decision has been issued, any person who filed comments or 

participated in the public hearing may petition the Environmental Appeals Board to review any 

condition of the permit decision, in accordance with 40 C.F.R. §71.11(1). Appeals should be
