1.0 Introduction 

Veolia ES Technical Solutions, L.L.C. (Veolia) operates three incinerators at its Sauget, 

Hlinois facility. Two of the incinerators are fixed hearth units (Units 2 and 3), and the third 

incinerator is a rotary kiln unit (Unit 4). Al l of the incinerators treat certain wastes that are 

classified as hazardous under state and/or federal regulations, and are subject to the National 

Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) for Hazardous Waste 

Combustors (Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 63 [40 CFR Part 63], Subpart 

EEE), (i.e., the HWC MACT). 

In August and September of 2008, Veolia conducted tests of Units 2, 3, and 4 required by 

the information collection requests from U.S. EPA Region 5 dated June 5, 2008 and September 

12, 2008. Those tests began on August 11, 2008 for Unit 2, August 5, 2008 for Unit 3, and 

August 21, 2008 for Unit 4 following test plans approved by U.S. EPA Region 5. Initial 

Comprehensive Performance Tests (CPTs) of Units 2, 3, and 4 commenced on December 8, 2009 

for Unit 2; on December 1, 2009 for Unit 3; and on December 16, 2009 for Unit 4, and were 

performed in accordance with Comprehensive Performance Test Plans approved by U.S. EPA 

Region 5.The HWC MACT, at 40 CFR § 63.1207(d), states "The date of commencement of the 

initial comprehensive performance test is the basis for establishing the deadline to commence the 

initial confirmatory performance test and the next comprehensive performance test. You may 

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

commencing subsequent confirmatory and comprehensive performance testing is based on the 

date of commencement of the previous comprehensive performance test." EPA Region 5 

considers that the start of the subsequent CPTs be based on the initiation of the metals tests 

performed in 2008, requiring that the subsequent CPT be started by September 5, 2013, and that 

a site-specific test plan be submitted before this date. Veolia originally submitted to EPA its 

notification of intent and site-specific test plans (i.e., comprehensive performance test plans) for 

all three units and a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPjP) for the subsequent CPT on 

September 5, 2012. Revisions to the CPT Plans and QAPjP were made based on negotiations with 

E PA Region 5. The CPT Plan and QAPjP dated September 25, 2013 were approved by EPA 

Region 5. 

EPA Region 5 considers that testing of the three incinerators comprises the CPT for 

Veolia's facility in Sauget. Veolia Sauget started the CPT of the three incinerators at the Sauget 

facility on September 4, 2013 with the performance of the RAT A of the CO and 0 2 continuous 

monitoring systems (CEMS) of Unit 4. The RATA of the CO and 0 2 CEMS of Unit 3 was 

performed on September 5, 2013, and the RATA of the CO and 0 2 CEMS of Unit 2 was 

performed on September 6, 2013. Testing for the applicable parameters of the HWC MACT 

including dioxins/furans, total hydrocarbons (THC), carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter 

1-1 
(PM), hydrogen chloride/chlorine gas (HCI/CI2), mercury, SVM , and LV M was completed on 

October 30, 2012. In accordance with 40 CFR §63.1207(j)(l)(i) and §63.1207(j)(3), the 

Notification of Compliance (NOC) and CPT Report are being filed within 90 days of completion 

of the CPT. 

Per 40 CFR §63.1206(b)(7)(i)(A), compliance with the DRE standard is required to be 

demonstrated only one time, and Veolia Sauget demonstrated DRE during RCRA Trial Burns of 

Units 2, 3, and 4 performed in January 1993, November 1996, and December 1995, respectively. 

The HWC MACT requires that DRE only be demonstrated one time as long as "you do not feed 

hazardous waste at a location in the combustion system other than the normal flame zone" 

(§63.1207(c)(2)(iv)). Veolia did not re-demonstrate DRE in the subsequent CPT. DRE, and the 

associated OPLs, were demonstrated during the January 1993, November 1996, and December 

1995 RCRA Trial Burns, respectively for Units 2, 3, and 4, and operations of the incinerators 

have not significantly changed since that test. 

This test (i.e., the subsequent CPT) demonstrated applicable emission standards and 

established OPLs as required by the HWC MACT for dioxins/furans, THC, CO, PM, 

HCI/CI2, mercury, SVM , and LVM . The results of this are used to revise the NOC for the 

three incinerators. 

1.1 Incinerator Overview 

Units 2 and 3 are identical fixed hearth incineration systems with primary and secondary 

combustion chambers that treat solid wastes as well as aqueous and organic liquids. The 

processes are monitored and controlled by individual distributed control systems (DCS) capable 

of continuously monitoring the processes to assure all operational parameters are within 

regulatory and permit hmits while waste is being fed to the unit. In addition, Units 2 and 3 are 

equipped with a Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) that continuously samples 

the exhaust gases for carbon monoxide and oxygen in the stack gas exhaust stream. 

Unit 4 is a rotary kiln incineration system with primary and secondary combustion 

chambers that treats solid wastes as well as aqueous and organic liquids. The process is 

monitored and controlled by a DCS capable of continuously monitoring the process to assure all 

operational parameters are within regulatory and permit limits while waste is being fed to the 

unit. In addition, this incinerator is equipped with a CEMS that continuously samples the 

exhaust gases for carbon monoxide and oxygen in the stack gas exhaust stream. 

1-2 
1.2 Test Objectives 

This subsequent CPT for the Final Replacement Standards of the HWC MACT was 

designed and conducted to demonstrate compliance with the standards and associated OPLs of 

the HWC MACT for existing incinerators at §63.1219. The CPT: 

• Demonstrated that the incinerators meet the applicable HWC MACT emission 

limits while treating hazardous waste; and 

• Re-established operating parameter limits (OPLs) on key operating variables that 

will ensure that the incinerator operates within the HWC MACT emission limits 

while treating hazardous waste. 

The test program included feeding liquid and solid waste materials to the 

incinerators, samphng and analyzing the feedstreams, spiking waste feedstreams with metals 

and chlorine, monitoring certain process parameters, conducting emissions testing, and 

sampling of waste streams and spiking materials. Applicable emissions standards under the 

HWC MACT regulations demonstrated during the CPT are summarized in Table 1-1.

The objectives for the subsequent CPT for the Final Replacement Standards of the HWC 

MACT for each of the three incinerators were to: 

• Demonstrate compliance with stack gas emissions less than or equal to the 

following limits, corrected to 7% O2: 

— Carbon Monoxide: 100 ppmv, dry; 

— Total Hydrocarbons: 10 ppmv, dry; 

— Dioxins/Furans: 0.20 ng TEQ/dscm for Units 2 and 3, and 0.40 ng TEQ/dscm for 

Unit 4; 

— Particulate Matter (PM): 0.013 grains/dscf; 

— Mercury: 130 |i.g/dscm; 

— Semivolatile Metals (SVM) (Cd and Pb combined): 230 ixg /dscm; 

— Low Volatility Metals (LVM) (As, Be and Cr combined): 92 (i,g /dscm; and 

— Hydrogen Chloride/Chlorine (HCI/CI2): 32 ppmv as CT equivalent, dry. 

• Compliance with the DRE standard (99.99% DRE) is demonstrated using data from 

previous RCRA trial burns. 

• Establish limits for operating parameters. 

• Conduct a Continuous Monitoring System (CMS) performance evaluation test. 

• Conduct a Relative Accuracy Test Audit (RATA) for the CO and 0 2 Continuous 

Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS. 

1.3 Test Protocol Summary 

A definition of the applicable emission limits and the resulting operating parameter limits 

(OPLs) are given in Section 4.0 of the CPT plans for each incinerator. The subsequent CPT of 

each of the incinerators included one test condition, and the test condition included one mode of 

operation. One set of OPLs was developed for each incinerator. 

In the first part of the test for each incinerator, Veolia demonstrated compliance with the 

particulate matter standard of the HWC MACT while the plant was operated to establish the 

maximum ash feedrate and maximum combustion gas flowrate OPLs as required by the HWC 

MACT for the particulate matter standard. Compliance with the standard for carbon monoxide 

was also demonstrated during this portion of the test. 

In the second part of the test for each incinerator, Veolia demonstrated compliance, and 

developed OPLs, with the HC1/C12, dioxins/furans, THC, CO, LVM , SVM , and mercury 

standards of the HWC MACT while the plant was operated to establish maximum total 

hazardous waste feedrate, maximum pumpable hazardous waste feedrate, minimum primary 

combustion chamber (PCC) temperature, minimum secondary combustion chamber (SCC) 

temperature, maximum LVM , SVM, and Hg feedrates, maximum chlorine feedrate, maximum 

1-4 
combustion gas flowrate, and maximum inlet temperature to the baghouse. Ash was fed to the 

incinerators at normal (or higher) levels during this portion of the test. Compliance with the 

standard for carbon monoxide was also demonstrated during this test 

Samples of the wastes fed during the tests were sampled every 15 minutes and 

composited for analysis. Waste feed samples were collected in coordination with the PM, 

HCI/CI2, metals, and dioxins/furans stack testing. Composite liquid waste feed samples 

associated with each of the four sampling trains were analyzed for ash, total chlorine, heat content, 

moisture, density, and viscosity. The composite liquid waste feed samples collected during the 

Method 29 stack sampling from the second part of the test were also analyzed for metals (arsenic, 

beryllium, chromium, cadmium, lead, and mercury). Al l of the composite solid waste feed 

samples, containerized and bulk, from the first and second parts of the test were analyzed for total 

chlorine, ash, moisture, and heat content. The composite containerized waste feed samples for Units 

2, 3, and 4, and bulk solid waste feed samples from Unit 4, collected during the Method 29 stack 

sampling from the second part of the test were also analyzed for metals (arsenic, beryllium, 

chromium, cadmium, lead, and mercury). 

The incinerators were operated for 30 minutes at the desired feedrates and operating 

conditions before sampling began for a given condition of the testing to assure all operating 

parameters were stabilized at the desired settings to achieve steady state. Spiking with chromium, 

lead, mercury, and chlorine was initiated at least 30 minutes before beginning sampling in the 

second part of each test run for HCI/CI2, metals, and dioxins/furans to assure that feedrates of 

spiking materials had stabilized before sampling began. Spiking of the waste feed with 

chromium, lead, mercury, and chlorine continued through the completion of the stack sampling 

for dioxins/furans, the last sampling to be completed. 

Chlorine and the metals lead, chromium and mercury were spiked into each of the three 

incinerators during, and throughout, the second part of each test run. The LV M category for 

incinerators includes arsenic, beryllium and chromium. Chromium was spiked as a solution of 

chromic acid into the PCC of the respective incinerators. The SV M category for incinerators 

includes cadmium and lead. Lead was spiked as solid lead nitrate fed to the incinerators in premeasured plastic baggies at regular intervals with the containerized solid waste. Mercury is the 

only high volatility metal of the HWC MACT. Mercury was spiked as a mercuric nitrate solution, 

and was fed in vials fed to the incinerator at regular intervals with the containerized solid waste. The 

concentration of the solution of mercuric nitrate was different (higher) for Unit 4 than for Units 2 

and 3. One vial containing 10 mLs of the mercuric nitrate solution was fed per charge of the 

containerized solid waste to Units 2 and 3, and one vial containing 20 mLs were fed with each 

charge of the containerized solid wastes to Unit 4. 

40 CFR §63.1207(g)(1)(A) requires feeding normal (or higher) levels of chlorine during the 

test for dioxins/furans. Chlorine was spiked the second part of the test and throughout the 

dioxins/furans testing to provide a consistent feedrate of chlorine throughout the dioxins/furans 

1-5 
sampling. The average feedrate of chlorine for Unit 2 from December 2012 through May 2013 was 

35 lb/hr; the average feedrate of chlorine for Unit 3 from December 2012 through May 2013 was 

31 lb/hr; and the average feedrate of chlorine for Unit 4 from December 2012 through May 2013 

was 82 lb/hr. The spiking rate of chlorine was about 200 lbs/hr for all three incinerators. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR §63.1209(m)(3), Veolia is establishing a maximum ash feedrate during 

the CPT for each of the three incinerators, developed in association with the samphng of the stack 

gas for particulate matter. The desired ash feedrate was achieved as the ash fed to the incinerator 

with the wastes, primarily solid wastes. The requirement in 40 CFR §63.1207 (g) (1)(B) for feeding 

normal (or higher) levels of ash during the SV M and LV M performance tests was achieved by the 

feeding of solid wastes. The average solids feedrate of ash in the first part of the test was 503.0 

lbs/hr for Unit 2, 525.8 lbs/hr for Unit 3, and 4,777.2 lbs/hr for Unit 4. The feeding of solid 

wastes continued throughout the second part of the test at rates similar to those in the first part of 

the test. The average feedrate of ash for Unit 2 from December 2012 through May 2013 was 102 

lb/hr; the average feedrate of ash for Unit 3 from December 2012 through May 2013 was 109 lb/hr; 

and the average feedrate of ash for Unit 4 from December 2012 through May 2013 was 949 lb/hr. 

40 CFR 63.1207(g)(l)(i)(C) requires that tests for PM , SVM , LVM , mercury, and 

dioxins/furans include a normal cleaning cycle of the P M control device. For each of the three 

units, the baghouse is the unit of the air pollution control train that is designed and operated to 

control particulate matter. Testing in all three runs for PM, SVM , LVM , mercury, and 

dioxins/furans was performed including a cleaning cycle of the fabric filter (i.e., baghouse). 

Per 40 CFR §63.1206(b)(7)(i)(A) compliance with the DRE standard is required to be 

demonstrated only one time and Veolia demonstrated DRE for each of the three incinerators in 

RCR A trial burns. The RCRA trial burn for Unit 2 was conducted in January 1993, and the 

RCR A trial burn for Unit 3 was conducted in November 1996. The RCRA trial burn for Unit 4 

was conducted in December 1995. Veolia did not re-demonstrate DRE in the subsequent CPT for 

the Final Replacement Standards of the HWC MACT because DRE, and the associated OPLs, 

were demonstrated during the RCRA trial burns, and operations of the incinerators have not 

significantly changed since those tests. The operating limits associated with the standard for 

D RE for Unit 2 are: 

• Maximum Total Pumpable Waste Feedrate 3,107 lb/hr; 

• Maximum Total Waste Feedrate 4,017 lb/hr; 

• Minimum Stack Gas Flowrate 15,605 acfm; 

• Minimum Temperature in the Primary Combustion Chamber 1,658°F; and 

• Minimum Temperature in the Secondary Combustion Chamber 1,848°F. 

1-6 
The operating limits associated with the standard for DRE for Unit 3 are: 

• Maximum Total Pumpable Waste Feedrate 4,045 lb/hr; 

• Maximum Total Waste Feedrate 5,098 lb/hr; 

• Minimum Stack Gas Flowrate 16,061 acfm; 

• Minimum Temperature in the Primary Combustion Chamber 1,627°F; and 

• Minimum Temperature in the Secondary Combustion Chamber 1,845°F.

The OPLs associated with each of the applicable emission standards (i.e., PM, HCI/CI2 

gas, metals, and dioxins/furans) were developed using process data taken during the collection 

of the applicable sampling train (i.e., EPA Method 5 for particulate matter, Modified EPA 

Method 26A for HC1/C12, EPA Method 29 for metals, and SW-846 Method 0023A for 

dioxins/furans). Operating parameter data were used as shown in Table 1-2 to develop HWC 

MACT OPLs. 

THC is typically monitored in CPTs during the measurement of DRE. The OPLs for 

THC (i.e., minimum combustion chamber temperature in the primary combustion chamber, 

minimum combustion chamber temperature in the secondary combustion chamber, maximum 

flue gas flowrate, maximum pumpable hazardous waste feedrate, and maximum total waste 

feedrate) are the same as the OPLs for DRE and dioxins/furans. Even though DRE was not 

demonstrated, THC was measured during the second part of each test run of the CPT for each 

unit.

1.4 CPT Schedule 

The subsequent CPT of the three incinerators at the Sauget facility began with the 

performance of RAT As. The RAT A of the CO and 0 2 continuous monitoring systems (CEMS) 

of Unit 4 was performed on September 4, 2013. The RATA of the CO and 0 2 CEMS of Unit 3 

was performed on September 5, 2013, and the RAT A of the CO and 0 2 CEMS of Unit 2 was 

performed on September 6, 2013. 

The CPT with testing for dioxins/furans, THC, CO, PM, HCL/C12 gas, mercury, SVM , 

and LV M was conducted in October 2013. The CPT testing for each of the three incinerators was 

observed by staff from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA). Due to the federal 

government shutdown in the earlier stages of October 2013, staff from EPA Region 5 observed 

the CPT testing only of Unit 4, the last unit tested. 

The subsequent CPT of Unit 2 was begun October 8, 2013. Run 1 of the test was 

successfully completed on this day. Run 2 was performed on October 9, 2013. The first part of 

Run 2 was successfully completed. During the second part of Run 2, the THC monitor failed and 

drifted well beyond the emission limit of the HWC MACT for THC. It was recognized that the 

THC monitor used to demonstrate compliance with the HWC MAC T had malfunctioned because 

Veolia monitors stack gases for THC, and the concentration of THC monitored by Veolia had 

not increased. The second part of Run 2 was stopped for this reason. The THC monitor was 

replaced and Run 3 was performed on October 10, 2013. With the successful completion of Run 

3, three runs for P M had been successfully completed. The third run of the second part of the test 

of Unit 2 (i.e., Run 4) was performed on October 11, 2013. At the completion of Run 4, the leakcheck of the pitot tubes of the dioxins/furans sampling train did not meet the full requirements of 

the applicable EPA test method (i.e., EPA Method 2) although it was considered that the leakcheck of the pitot tubes was acceptable. Because it was felt that the results of the dioxins/furans 

sampling train were acceptable, this run of the CPT of Unit 2 was not re-done. Personnel from 

EPA Region 5 declared that the dioxins/furans sampling train was unacceptable when on-site the 

week of October 21, 2013. Another run of the second part of the test, for HC1/C12, metals, and 

dioxins/furans, (i.e., Run 5) was performed on October 30, 2013. 

The subsequent CPT of Unit 3 was begun October 15, 2013. The first part of Run 

1, for PM , was successfully completed on this day. However, the isokinetic sampling rate 

of the dioxins/furans sampling train did not meet method acceptance criteria, and the 

second part of this run, for HC1/C12, metals, and dioxins/furans, had to be repeated as Run 

4. Run 2 was performed on October 16, 2013, and Run 3 was performed on October 17, 

2013. The third successful run of the second part of the test of Unit 3 (i.e., Run 4) was 

performed on October 18, 2013. 

1-9 
The subsequent CPT of Unit 4 was begun October 23, 2013 with the successful 

completion of Run 1. Run 2 was performed on October 24, 2013. The glass nozzle of the P M 

sampling train was chipped with the withdrawal of the sampling probe from the stack at the 

completion of the run. Although the sampling train met all acceptance criteria, including the final 

leak-check, the second run for P M was repeated. Run 3 was performed on October 25, 2013. The 

third (accepted) run for P M (i.e., Run 4) was performed at the conclusion of Run 3 for PM . 

Incinerator operating conditions required for the P M testing were maintained through both of 

these test runs. 

1.5 Summary of Results 

Veolia successfully demonstrated compliance with all of the applicable regulatory 

requirements of the HWC MACT for Unit 2, Unit 3, and Unit 4 using the results from the single 

test condition of each unit. Table 1-3 summarizes the results of the emissions testing of Unit 2. 

Table 1-4 summarizes the results of the emissions testing of Unit 3, and Table 1-5 summarizes 

the results of the emissions testing of Unit 4. The test for each unit consisted of three reported 

runs for each parameter of interest. The term "test condition" refers to the sum of all the testing 

activities designed to demonstrate the operation of the waste incinerator under particular 

operating parameters (e.g., development of operating parameter limits) under the HWC MACT. 

The term "test run" refers to the replicate testing periods. A complete definition of the test 

protocol and methodology is defined in the CPT Plan and QAPjP.

2.0 Process Operations 

This section presents brief descriptions of the three incinerators at Veolia's facility in 

Sauget, IL, and process and feedrate results from the CPTs of the three incinerators. 

2.1 Process Overview 

Veolia operates two Fixed Hearth Dual Chambered incinerators (Units 2 and 3) and one 

rotary kiln incinerator (Unit 4) at the Sauget, IL facility. The two fixed hearth units are rated at 16 

million Btu/hr each. Unit 3 is a mirror image of Unit 2. Both of these units have their own waste 

handling systems. 

Units 2 and 3 feature a two-stage combustion process. Ignition of waste material takes 

place in the primary (lower) combustion chamber (PCC). A secondary (upper) combustion 

chamber (SCC) serves as an "afterburner" for process gases. Liquid wastes, organic and aqueous, 

and solid wastes are fed to the PCC. Air-atomizing injectors are used for injection of high-Btu 

liquids, low-Btu liquids and specialty feed liquids. Solids, usually packaged in plastic or fiberboard 

containers, are introduced into the incinerator through a PLC controlled airlock-ram system located 

at the lower front of the PCC. 

The air pollution control systems of Units 2 and 3 consist of a spray dryer absorber and 

fabric filter baghouse modules. The air pollution control system neutralizes acidic compounds and 

removes particulate matter from the exhaust gas. Two subsystems, the spray dryer absorber and the 

fabric filter, carry out the chemical neutralization and particulate removal functions, respectively. 

An induced draft fan and stack provide the mechanical energy required to transport the flue gas 

tlirough the interconnecting ductwork, to its eventual discharge point to atmosphere. The only 

difference between Units 2 and 3 is that Unit 2 is equipped with four (4) baghouse modules, while 

Unit 3 is equipped with three (3) baghouse modules. However, each incinerator is operated 

identically with only three baghouse modules in service during operation. 

A complete description of Units 2 and 3 is provided in the CPT Plan. A process flow 

diagram for Unit 2 is presented in Figure 2-1, and a process flow diagram for Unit 3 is presented in 

Figure 2-2. 

2-1 
Unit 4 is rated at 50 million Btu/hr and is equipped with its own tank farm system, drum 

storage, bulk solids storage and feed systems. Unit 4 includes a rotary kiln as the PCC, and a SCC. 

Liquids are fed to either the kiln PCC or the SCC. Bulk solid wastes are fed to the kiln through the 

ram feeder. Containerized wastes are fed to the kiln through the ram feeder or the auxiliary ram 

feeder. The liquid waste injectors used in the combustion chambers are air-atomizing injectors, and 

are used for injection of pumpable sludges, aqueous wastes and organic liquid wastes to the kiln 

and for injection of organic liquid waste to the SCC. 

The air pollution control system consists of a tempering chamber, two spray dryer 

absorbers, and fabric filter baghouse modules with carbon injection. The air pollution control 

system neutralizes acidic compounds and removes particulate from the exhaust gas. Two 

subsystems, the spray dryer absorber and the fabric filter, carry out the chemical neutralization and 

particulate removal functions, respectively. An induced draft fan and stack provide the mechanical 

energy required to transport the flue gas through the interconnecting ductwork, to its eventual 

discharge point to atmosphere. 

A complete description of Unit 4 is provided in the Comprehensive Performance Test Plan. 

A process flow diagram for Unit 4 is presented in Figure 2-3.

2.2 Process Operating Data and Waste Feedrates 

Process parameters that were monitored and recorded during the test by Veolia, and 

feedrates that result from the combination of waste feedrates with the respective waste feed 

analyses, are presented in this section. Process data recorded by Veolia every 15 seconds are used to 

create one-minute averages (OMAs). The DCS calculates hourly rolling averages (HRAs) for 

applicable parameters using the OM A from the first minute and the OMAs from previous 59 

minutes of data. The raw data from Veolia's DCS are provided in Appendix C. 

2.2.1 Unit 2 

Process data and waste and parameter feedrates have been determined and are presented for 

the time periods over the collection of the stack gas sampling trains for particulate matter (EPA 

Method 5), HC1/C12 (Modified EPA Method 26A), metals (EPA Method 29), and dioxins/furans 

(SW-846 Method 0023A) and THC (EPA Method 25A).

2.3 Spiking of Metals and Chlorine 

During the test of each incinerator, the metals chromium, lead, and mercury were spiked into 

the incinerator. The spiking was performed by Veolia. Details concerning the spiking of metals and 

chlorine are presented in Appendix B. 

The spiking rates of chlorine during the HCI/CI2 stack sampling of the second part of each 

run are presented in Table 2-13 for Unit 2, Table 2-14 for Unit 3, and 2-15 for Unit 4. 

The spiking rates of chromium, lead, mercury, and chlorine during the metals stack 

sampling of the second part of each run are presented in Table 2-16 for Unit 2, Table 2-17 for Unit 

3, and 2-18 for Unit 4. 

The spiking solutions of chromium (chromic acid) and mercury (mercuric nitrate) were 

sampled at the beginning, at port change, and at the end of the EPA Method 29 stack sampling for 

metals of each run, and each of these samples were analyzed for chromium or mercury, 

respectively. The analytical results for chromic acid and mercuric nitrate solutions are presented in 

Tables 2-19 and 2-20 for Unit 2, Tables 2-21 and 2-22 for Unit 3, and Tables 2-23 and 2-24 for Unit 

4.

3.0 Sampling, Analysis, and Monitoring Procedures 

The subsequent CPT was performed at one test condition on each of the three incinerators 

to demonstrate system performance and to establish appropriate operating parameter limits 

(OPLs) for all of the applicable standards of the HWC MACT. The CPT included three replicate 

sampling runs on each incinerator at the one test condition. Table 3-1 summarizes the parameters 

that were measured during the test of each of the three incinerators and the frequency of 

measurement. The CPT was conducted in accordance with the comprehensive performance test 

plans for Units 2, 3, and 4 (i.e. the CPT Plan) and Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPjP) dated 

September 25, 2013 that were approved by EPA Region 5. 

3.1 Sampling Locations and Procedures 

Samples were collected of solid, liquid, and gas streams during the CPT. Table 3-2 

summarizes the sampling methods for each stream and the parameters that were detennined. 

Refer to the QAPjP for more detailed descriptions of the methods and the quality control 

activities for each method. Section 5.0 presents a discussion of the QA/QC activities performed 

for the CPT. 

3.1.1 Liquids Sampling Procedures 

Samples of the liquid waste feeds were collected every 15 minutes during each of the 

three runs of the CPT for each of the three incinerators beginning at the start of stack 

sampling through completion of stack sampling for both the first and second parts of the CPT. 

Individual samples (i.e., sub-samples) were collected every 15 minutes throughout the test, 

and composited for analysis. 

Samples of the liquid waste feeds were collected at 15-minute intervals during the 

collection of the Method 5 sampling train of the first part of each run of the test, and during 

the collection of the Modified Method 26A, Method 29, and Method 0023A sampling trains 

of the second part of each run of the test. Composite samples were prepared of the samples 

collected during each of the Method 5, Modified Method 26A, Method 29, and Method 

0023A sampling times. Al l of the composite liquid waste feed samples from the first part and 

the second part of the CPT were analyzed for ash, total chlorine, heat content, moisture, density, 

and viscosity. The composite liquid waste feed samples collected during the Method 29 stack 

sampling were also analyzed for metals (arsenic, beryllium, chromium, cadmium, lead, and 

mercury). 

3-1 
In addition to the collection of sub-samples every 15 minutes of the liquid wastes, 

individual samples were collected and archived for further analysis, if required. 

Samples of the chromium and mercury spiking solutions were collected in each run of 

the second part of the test of each incinerator. At the beginning, middle (at port change), and 

end of the Method 29 sampling of the second part of the test, samples of the chromium and 

mercury spiking solutions were collected. The individual samples of the chromium and 

mercury spiking solutions collected during each Method 29 sampling run of the test of each 

incinerator were analyzed for chromium or mercury, respectively. A fourth sample of the 

chromium and mercury spiking solutions was collected at the completion of the Method 

0023A sampling train. This fourth sample was archived (i.e., not analyzed). 

Liquid waste samples were collected upstream of any metal spiking location. Split 

samples of the composite liquid waste feed and the chromium and mercury spiking solutions from 

one run were taken by the Illinois EPA and/or U.S. EPA Region 5.

3.1.2 Solids Sampling Procedures 

Samples of the containerized solid waste feed fed to Units 2, 3, and 4, and the bulk 

solids fed to Unit 4, were collected every 15 minutes during the collection of the Method 5 

sampling train of the first part of each run of the test, and during the collection of the 

Modified Method 26A, Method 29, and Method 0023A sampling trains of the second part of 

each run of the test. Composite samples were prepared of the samples collected during each 

of the Method 5, Modified Method 26A, Method 29, and Method 0023A sampling times. Al l 

of the composite solid waste feed samples from the first part and the second part of the CPT 

were analyzed for ash, total chlorine, heat content, and moisture. The composite solid waste feed 

samples collected during the Method 29 stack sampling were also analyzed for metals (arsenic, 

beryllium, chromium, cadmium, lead, and mercury). 

In addition to the collection of sub-samples every 15 minutes of the solid wastes, 

individual samples were collected and archived for further analysis, if required. 

Spikes of solid lead and chlorine were added to the containerized solid waste in the test of 

each incinerator. Samples of the lead (as lead nitrate) and the chlorine (as hexachloroethane) were 

collected during the Method 29 stack sampling in the second part of the test. Three grab samples of 

the chlorine and lead spiking materials were collected at the beginning, middle (at port change), 

and end of the Method 29 sampling of the second part of the test. A fourth sample of the lead and 

chlorine spiking materials was collected at the completion of the Method 0023A sampling train in 

the second part of the test. Al l samples of the lead and chlorine spiking materials were archived 

(i.e., not analyzed). Samples of the composite solid waste feeds and the chlorine and lead spiking 

solutions from one run were taken by the Illinois EPA and/or U.S. EPA Region 5. 

3.1.3 Stack Gas Sampling Procedures 

Stack gas emissions were sampled for determination of the parameters indicated in 

Tables 5-1 and 5-2. The stack samples collected using isokinetic sampling methods were 

particulate matter by EPA Method 5, HCl and Cl 2 using a Modified Method 26A, metals by EPA 

Method 29, and dioxins/furans by SW-846 Method 0023A. Table 3-3, Table 3-4, and Table 3-5 

present summaries of the sampling data for the isokinetic sampling trains for the CPT testing of 

Unit 2, Unit 3, and Unit 4, respectively.

3.1.3.1 Sample Port Location 

The Unit 2 and Unit 3 stacks are 90-feet high and have an inside diameter of 39 inches. 

There are two sets of two orthogonal ports located at two slightly different levels. Only the upper 

set of orthogonal ports are suitable for, and were used for, isokinetic sampling. An additional 

port located about four feet below the upper orthogonal ports, and about 45° between the 

orthogonal ports, was used for the Modified Method 26A sampling for HCI/CI2. The number of 

sampling points for the isokinetic sampling by Method 5, Method 29, and Method 0023A was 

determined in accordance with EPA Method 1. 

The Unit 4 stack is 100-feet high and has an inside diameter of 48 inches. There are four 

orthogonal ports located at one level. An additional port located about four feet below the upper 

orthogonal ports, and about 45° between the orthogonal ports, was used for the Modified Method 

26A sampling for HCI/CI2. The number of sampling points for the isokinetic sampling by 

Method 5, Method 29, and Method 0023A was determined in accordance with EPA Method 1. 

3.1.3.2 EPA Methods 2 and 4 (Flowrate and Moisture) 

Concurrent with the performance of the isokinetic sampling trains, measurements were 

made to determine gas velocity by 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A, Method 2, and moisture by 

Method 4. The absence of cyclonic flow was determined by performing a cyclonic flow check, 

prescribed in EPA Method 2, prior to the CPT testing of each incinerator. 

3.1.3.3 EPA Method 5 (PM) 

Samples for the determination of particulate matter (PM) in stack emissions were 

collected in the first part of the tests of each incinerator using EPA Method 5. This sample train 

consisted of the following components: 

• Glass (quartz) nozzle; 

• Heated, glass (quartz)-lined probe; 

• Heated filter with a Teflon filter support; 

• Optional empty knockout impinger; 

• Modified Greenburg-Smith impinger containing 100 mL of DI water; 

• Greenburg-Smith impinger containing 100 mL of DI water; 

• Empty Modified Greenburg-Smith impinger; and 

• Modified Greenburg-Smith impinger containing silica gel. 

The procedures specified in EPA Method 5 protocol were used to determine particulate matter. 

These procedures require the isokinetic extraction of particulate matter on a filter maintained at a 

controlled temperature between 223°F and 273°F. The particulate mass includes the mass 

3-10 
determined gravimetrically in the probe and nozzle rinse (PNR) with acetone, after evaporation 

and desiccation, and filter after desiccation. 

3.1.3.4 Modified EPA Method 26A (HCI/CI2) 

During the second part of the test of each incinerator, samples for the determination of 

HCI/CI2 in stack emissions were collected using a modification of EPA Method 26A proposed 

and approved by EPA Region 5. This sample train consisted of the following components: 

• Glass (quartz) nozzle; 

• Heated, glass (quartz)-lined probe; 

• Heated Teflon mat filter with a Teflon® filter support; 

• Teflon® transfer line; 

• Optional empty knockout impinger; 

• Greenburg-Smith impinger containing 100 mL of 0.1 N H2SO4; 

• Greenburg-Smith impinger containing 100 mL of 0.1 N H2SO4; 

• Modified Greenburg-Smith impinger containing 100 mL of 0.1 N NaOH; 

• Modified Greenburg-Smith impinger containing 100 mL of 0.1 N NaOH; and 

• Modified Greenburg-Smith impinger containing silica gel. 

The procedures specified in EPA Method 5, as referenced in EPA Method 26A, were used for 

the isokinetic collection of the sample except that the sample was collected at a single point 

located at the center of the stack. A Teflon® union was used to connect the glass or quartz nozzle 

to the glass or quartz probe liner, and the filter and probe were kept at a temperature between 

248°F and 273°F. A Teflon®-backed filter was used, as specified in EPA Method 26A. 

3.1.3.5 EPA Method 29 (Metals) 

Samples of the stack gas emissions were collected for the determination of metals during 

the second part of the test of each incinerator. The stack gas samples were collected 

isokinetically for the HWC MACT metals As, Be, Cd, Cr, Pb, and Hg using Method 29 from 40 

CFR Part 60, Appendix A. 

This method is basically an EPA Method 5 sampling train with some very specific 

modifications: 

• Glass nozzle; 

• Heated, glass-lined probe; 

• Heated filter; 

3-11 
• Teflon® transfer line; 

• Empty modified Greenburg-Smith impinger; 

• Modified Greenburg-Smith impinger containing 100 mL of 5% HNO3 and 10% 

H 2 0 2; 

• Greenburg-Smith impinger containing 100 mL of 5% HN0 3 and 10% H 2 0 2; 

• Empty modified Greenburg-Smith impinger; 

• Modified Greenburg-Smith impinger containing 100 mL of 4% KMn0 4 and 10% 

H 2 S 0 4; 

• Modified Greenburg-Smith impinger containing 100 mL of 4% KMn04 and 10% 

H 2 S 0 4; and 

• Modified Greenburg-Smith impinger containing silica gel. 

A Teflon® transfer line was used between the filter and the first impinger. This is done to address 

space limitations on the stack, to allow for ease in probe moving, and to minimize potential 

hazards moving the very large and heavy impinger box. 

Following sampling, the probe and nozzle of the sampling train were recovered using a 

brush containing no metal using 0.1 normal nitric acid. 

3.1.3.6 SW-846 Method 0023A (Dioxins/Furans) 

Stack gas emissions were sampled isokinetically for dioxins/furans in the second part of 

the test of each incinerator using SW-846 Method 0023A. 

The sampling train consists of the following components: 

• Glass nozzle; 

• Heated, glass-lined probe; 

• Heated filter; 

• Heated Teflon® transfer line; 

• Sorbent module; 

• Knock-out impinger; 

• Greenburg-Smith impinger containing 100 mL water; 

• Modified Greenburg-Smith impinger containing 100 mL water; and 

• Modified Greenburg-Smith impinger containing silica gel. 

From the heated filter, sample gas was passed through a heated Teflon® transfer line before 

entering the sorbent module. The sorbent module consisted of a water-cooled condenser and a 

3-12 
resin trap containing XAD-2® resin. The condenser is used to ensure that the gas entering the 

resin trap is below 68°F. 

Isotopically-labeled dioxins/furans were spiked onto the XAD-2® resin both before field 

sampling (surrogate standards) and into appropriate places in the preparation prior to analysis 

after returning from the field. 

3.1.3.7 Continuous Emissions Monitoring (THC, C0 2 , CO and 02 ) 

CEMs were used to monitor the concentrations of total hydrocarbons (THC), carbon 

dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and oxygen (O2) in the stack gas. 

CO, corrected to 7% 0 2 is reported for the stack gases from permanent installation CEMS 

on each of the three incinerators. The concentrations of THC, CO2, and O2 in the stack gas were 

determined using EPA Methods 25A and 3A, respectively. CO2 and O2 were monitored using 

Method 3A to determine the stack gas composition (i.e., molecular weight) used to determine the 

flowrate of the stack gas, and to correct the stack sampling results to 7% oxygen. Both of these 

methods utilize continuous monitors. 

3.2 Analysis Procedures 

Samples collected during the CPT were analyzed for the parameters specified in 

Table 3-6. Al l analyses were performed by Test America Laboratories in Knoxville, TN. 

Analytical results for the waste feed samples are reported on an as-received or wet weight basis. 

Samples of the waste feed were not dried prior to analysis.

3.2.1 Composition and Physical Parameters Analysis 

Samples of the waste feeds will be collected for determination of a number of chemical 

and physical parameters. Samples of the waste feeds were analyzed for the following parameters, 

by the referenced standard methods: 

• Ash - AST M Method AST M D-482; 

• Total Chlorine - SW-846 Methods 5050 and 9056A; 

• Moisture - AST M Method E-203 or D-4017(Karl-Fischer titration) for liquid waste, 

and AST M Method D-5142 or D-160.3 (loss on drying) for solid waste; 

• Calorific Value - AST M Method D-5865 or D-240; 

• Density - AST M Method D-1475; and 

• Viscosity - AST M Method D-445. 

3.2.2 Metals Analysis 

Waste feed samples were analyzed for metals using a trace level inductively coupled 

argon plasma emission spectroscopy (ICPES) and atomic absorption spectroscopy. Samples were 

prepared for analysis using SW-846 Method 3050B. The metals analyzed by ICPES (SW-846 

Method 6010B) are arsenic (As), beryllium (Be), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), and lead (Pb). 

Mercury (Hg) was analyzed using Method 7471A of SW-846. Spiking solutions of chromium 

and mercury were analyzed for chromium and mercury, respectively. 

The Method 29 sampling train used to collect samples of the stack gas for metals was 

analyzed using ICPES according to SW-846 Method 6010B for arsenic (As), beryllium (Be), 

cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), and lead (Pb), and mercury was analyzed using Method 7470A 

of SW-846. 

3.2.3 PM Analysis 

The P M concentration of the stack gas was determined following 40 CFR 60, Appendix 

A, Method 5 protocols. The wash from the nozzle, probe liner, and glassware prior to the filter 

(PNR) of the sampling train was evaporated, and the mass determined on an analytical balance. 

The filter recovered from the sampling train was desiccated, and weighed to determine the mass 

of particulate on the filter. The combined mass from the filter and the evaporated wash are used 

with the total volume of gas sampled to determine the particulate loading. 

3.2.4 HCI/CI2 Analysis 

The sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide impinger catches and rinses from the Modified 

Method 26A sampling trains were analyzed for chloride ion concentrations using the analytical 

3-14 
approach specified in Method 26A. The Modified Method 26A sampling train was recovered to 

provide a rinse of the transfer line and contents and rinses of the acidic impingers (and knockout 

impinger) for determination of hydrogen chloride; and the contents and rinses of the alkaline 

impingers for determination of chlorine. Both were analyzed for chloride by ion chromatography 

(IC) for determination of chloride. The chloride found in the acid impingers (and rinses) is 

reported as HCl, and the chloride determined in the alkaline impingers (and rinses) is reported as 

CI2. Sodium thiosulfate was added to the collected alkaline impinger samples in the analytical 

laboratory before analysis. 

3.2.5 Dioxins/Furans Analysis 

Samples of the stack gas were collected using SW-846 Method 0023A, and were 

analyzed for dioxins/furans using SW-846 Method 8290A, high resolution gas chromatography 

(HRGC) with high resolution mass spectroscopy (HRMS) analytical technique. The analytical 

protocol includes quantitation of all dibenzodioxins and dibenzofurans including four or more 

chlorine atoms. The method provides congener class definition for each of the five congener 

groups (tetra-, penta-, hexa-, hepta-, and octa-). In addition, each individual isomer containing 

the 2,3,7,8-substitution pattern was individually quantified. 

Dioxins/furans concentrations are reported for: 

• Combination of the filter and all the rinses between the nozzle and filter; and 

• Combination of the sorbent and all the rinses between the filter and sorbent. 

3.3 Process Monitoring Procedures 

The incinerator systems are monitored to ensure operation is in accordance with the 

permitted conditions. During the performance test, the automatic waste feed cutoff systems were 

operational; however, AWFCO limits in the current NOC were adjusted or disabled during the 

performance testing periods to allow target operations to be achieved. The CPT Plan prescribed a 

Continuous Monitoring System Performance Evaluation Test for each of the three incinerators. 

The Continuous Monitoring System Performance Evaluation Test Reports (CMSPETR) for the 

three incinerators are included as Appendix D. The raw process monitoring data from the CPT 

testing of each of the three incinerators are presented in Appendix C.

4.0 Results 

This section presents the results of the comprehensive performance test of Veolia's 

incinerators at Sauget. The analytical results for the waste feed streams and stack gas are 

presented in Sections 4.1 and 4.2. The collection of samples and the methods used for sampling 

and analysis are specified in the CPT Plan and QAPjP. 

Note that values presented in these tables (and throughout the report) are rounded to 

display an appropriate level of significance. Al l calculations are done with unrounded values, 

and therefore, it may not be possible to reproduce a calculated value exactly from the data shown 

in a table. It may be necessary to go to earlier tables, or the raw data in the appendices, to 

reproduce a calculated value exactly. 

4.1 Waste Feedstreams 

Four waste streams were sampled and analyzed in both the first part and the second part 

of each run of the CPT tests of Units 2 and 3, three liquid waste streams and one solid waste 

stream. Al l are fed to the primary combustion chamber (PCC). The streams sampled and 

analyzed are: 

• Low-Btu Liquid Waste; 

• High Btu Liquid Waste; 

• Liquid (Specialty) Waste; and 

• Containerized Solid Waste. 

Five waste streams were sampled and analyzed in both the first part and the second part 

of each run of the CPT test of Unit 4, three liquid waste streams and two solid waste streams 

including two liquid wastes and two solid wastes that were fed to the kiln (i.e., the primary 

combustion chamber - PCC), and one liquid waste that was fed to the secondary combustion 

chamber (SCC). The streams sampled and analyzed are: 

• Low-Btu Liquid Waste to Kiln; 

• High Btu Liquid Waste to Kiln; 

• Containerized Solid Waste; 

• Bulk Solid Waste; and 

• Liquid Waste to the SCC. 

Composite samples were prepared of the samples collected during each of the Method 5 

sampling time in the first part of each test, and the Modified Method 26A, Method 29, and 

4-1 
Method 0023A sampling times of the second part of each test. Al l of the composite liquid 

waste feed samples from the first part and the second part of the CPT tests were analyzed for 

ash, total chlorine, heat content, moisture, density, and viscosity. Al l of the composite solid 

waste feed samples from the first part and the second part of the CPT tests were analyzed for 

ash, total chlorine, heat content, and moisture. The composite liquid and solid waste feed 

samples collected during the Method 29 stack sampling were also analyzed for metals (arsenic, 

beryllium, chromium, cadmium, lead, and mercury). 

Each sample was given a unique log number that identifies the project and unit, run 

number, and an identification code based upon the sample type and fraction. An example of the 

log number format follows: 

Proj-XY-ABC 

Where: 

Proj is a project specific identification; 

X Y represent the condition and run number; and 

A BC is an alphanumeric sequence describing the particular sample. 

Here is a description of the sample codes used for the waste samples in the CPT.

the first part of the test). 

Part B refers to the test segment associated with the HCI/CI2, Metals, and 

Dioxins/Furans emissions testing (i.e., the second part of the test). 

Sample Description: 

Waste and spiking material samples included individual grab samples for 

archiving, and composite samples specific to each emissions test period. 

These are labeled as follows: 

Individual grab samples are labeled with the suffix as: 

-Grab 1, -Grab 2, -Grab 3, etc. in sequential order.

COMP2A = Composite sample collected during the HCI/CI2 emissions 

test period 

COMP2B = Composite sample collected during the Metals emissions 

test period 

COMP2C = Composite sample collected during the dioxins/furans 

emissions test period 

Note that there should not be any COMP2A, B, or C samples labeled with a " -

xxA- " run number, nor should there be any COMP1 samples with a "-xxB-" run 

number.

4.2 Stack Gas 

Samples of stack gas were collected for determination of the following analytical 

parameters: 

• PM ; 

• HC1/C12; 

• Metals; and 

• Dioxins/Furans. 

The stack gas concentration of the test parameters reported as the average of three test 

runs are used to document compliance. Stack gas concentration for a parameter may include 

analytical results for multiple components. For the determination of stack gas concentration 

measured in an individual sample, or run, for those sampling systems as applicable (other than 

SW-846 Method 0023A), the following convention is used to sum the results of multiple 

analyses: 

• In cases where all analytical results are hits (i.e., not "non-detects"), all analytical 

results will be summed. 

• In cases where all analytical results are "non-detects," all method detection limits will 

be summed, and the summed result reported as a maximum ("<")• 

• In cases where one or more analytical results are hits, and one or more analytical 

results are "non-detects," the hits and the "non-detects" will be summed and reported 

as a maximum ("<"). 

Example calculations of the HWC MACT emission limits for PM, HC1/C12, metals, 

dioxins/furans, and THC showing the calculations performed for a reported result are presented 

following the respective table. 

4.2.1 PM in Stack Gas 

Stack gas samples for determination of P M were collected according to EPA Method 5. 

These samples were analyzed gravimetrically for P M according to EPA Method 5. Two samples 

were recovered from each train for the determination of PM. They were as follows: 

• An acetone rinse of the probe and nozzle (PNR), and; 

• Filter (FILT). 

4-18 
The results for P M are presented in Table 4-14 for Unit 2, Table 4-15 for Unit 3, and 

Table 4-16 for Unit 4. The concentration of oxygen measured using CEMS and EPA Method 3A 

during the collection of the EPA Method 5 samples are shown in the tables, and the 

concentration of P M in the stack gas corrected to 7% 0 2 is shown. 

The analytical results for the determination of P M are included in Appendix G4.

4.2.3 Metals in Stack Gas 

Metals were sampled in the stack gas using EPA Method 29. The samples were analyzed 

for the six (6) metals regulated by the HWC MACT. Five metals, arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, 

chromium, and lead) were analyzed using ICPES according to Method 601 OB of SW-846. 

Mercury analysis was performed by cold vapor atomic absorption spectroscopy according to 

Method 7470A of SW-846. 

The Method 29 sampling trains were recovered to provide the following fractions: 

• Probe and nozzle rinse with 0.1 N nitric acid (PNR); 

• Filter (FILT); 

• Content and rinse of the acidified peroxide impingers with 0.1 N nitric acid (NPI); 

• Contents and rinse of the empty impinger with 0.1 N nitric acid (EIR); 

• Contents and rinse of the acidified permanganate impingers with deionized water, 

0.1 N nitric acid, and permanganate solution (Perm); and; 

• Rinse of the permanganate impingers with hydrochloric acid (HClRns). 

The analytical results for metals in the individual sample fractions are presented in Table 

4-20 for Unit 2, Table 4-22 for Unit 3, and Table 4-24 for Unit 4. The concentrations of the 

metals in the stack gas are presented in Table 4-21 for Unit 2, Table 4-23 for Unit 3, and Table 

4-25 for Unit 4. The concentration of oxygen measured using CEMS and EPA Method 3A 

during the second half of the test are shown in Tables 4-21, 4-23, and 4-25, and the concentration 

of metals in the stack gas corrected to 7% O2 is shown. The concentrations of cadmium and lead 

are shown summed as SVM, and the concentrations of arsenic, beryllium, and chromium are

4.2.4 Dioxins/Furans in Stack Gas 

Stack gas samples for determination of dioxins/furans were collected using SW-846 

Method 0023A and were analyzed using SW-846 Method 8290, a high resolution gas 

chromatography (HRGC) with high resolution mass spectroscopy (HRMS) analytical technique. 

The sampling train was recovered to provide the following fractions: 

• Combined probe and nozzle rinse with acetone, methylene chloride and toluene 

(PNR); 

• Filter (FILT); 

• Condenser rinse with acetone, methylene chloride, and toluene (CR); and 

• XA D sorbent (XAD). 

Components recovered from the train were combined as follows: 

• Combination of the filter and all the rinses between the nozzle and filter; and 

• Combination of the sorbent and all the rinses between the filter and sorbent. 

After sample cleanup and concentration procedures at the analytical laboratory, an aliquot 

of the front-half extracts (i.e., PNR and filter) is combined and analyzed using SW-846 Method 

8290 for dioxms/furans separate from the back-half components (i.e., condenser rinses, XA D 

sorbent). Dioxins/furans results are presented in Table 4-26 for Unit 2, Table 4-27 for Unit 3, and 

Table 4-28 for Unit 4. The concentration of oxygen measured using CEMS and EPA Method 3A 

during the second half of the run are shown in the tables, and the concentration of dioxins/furans 

corrected to 7% O2 is shown. 

The analytical results for the dioxins/furans analyses are included in Appendix G2. 

Results for dioxins/furans are converted to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-dioxin toxicity equivalents 

(TEQ). Note that Section §1208(b)(l)(iii) of the HWC MACT states that non-detects (all results 

preceded by a "<") of dioxins/furans can be assumed to be at zero concentrations. Additionally, 

results followed by an "*" are denoted as Estimated Possible Maximum Concentrations, and are 

likewise not included in the calculation of total mass.

4.3 Chlorine, Ash, and Metals Feedrates 

This section presents calculated values using the analytical results presented previously, 

waste feedrates, and spiking feedrates. Feedrates are calculated for: 

• Total Chlorine/Chloride; 

• Ash; and 

• Metals. 

In those circumstances where a constituent is not detected in a waste feed (i.e., is not 

analyzed above the detection limit), the concentration of that parameter is treated as zero "0" in 

the calculation of the feedrate of that constituent that becomes an OPL for that parameter. 

4.3.1 Chlorine Feedrate 

Feedrate of total chlorine and chloride (i.e., chlorine) is an OPL for the emission 

standards for hydrogen chloride and chlorine gas (HCI/CI2) and for SV M and LVM . The feedrate 

of chlorine has been determined during both the HCI/CI2 and metals (i.e., SV M and LVM ) stack 

sampling in the second part of each run. Table 4-32 presents the chlorine feedrates calculated 

during both the HC1/CI2 and metals stack sampling for Unit 2. Chlorine feedrates for Unit 3 are 

presented in Table 4-33, and chlorine feedrates for Unit 4 are presented in Table 4-34. 

For the calculation of the chlorine feedrate, the weight of the Containerized Solid Waste 

used to calculate the feedrates of chlorine was reduced by the weight of the box, and the spiking 

materials lead nitrate, hexachloroethane, and the solution of mercuric nitrate to determine the 

feedrate of Containerized Solid Waste that was analyzed for chlorine. 

4.3.2 Ash Feedrate 

Feedrate of ash is an OPL for the emission standard for particulate matter. The feedrate of 

ash has been determined during the particulate matter stack sampling in the first part of each run. 

Table 4-35 presents the ash feedrate calculated during stack sampling for particulate matter for 

Unit 2. Ash feedrates for Unit 3 are presented in Table 4-36, and ash feedrates for Unit 4 are 

presented in Table 4-37.

4.3.3 Metals Feedrates 

Feedrates of the metals regulated by the HWC MACT (As, Be, Cd, Cr, Pb, and Hg) are 

OPLs for the emission standards for SVM , LVM , and mercury. The feedrates of these six metals 

have been determined during the metals stack sampling in the second part of each run. The stack 

gas concentrations of all six of the HWC MACT metals are determined by EPA Method 29. 

Table 4-38 presents the feedrates of these metals calculated during stack sampling for metals for 

Unit 2. Metals feedrates for Unit 3 are presented in Table 4-40, and metals feedrates for Unit 4 

are presented in Table 4-42. 

The OPLs for metals feedrates are total LV M feedrate (i.e., total and pumpable) and 

pumpable LV M for the emission standard for LV M (i.e., arsenic, beryllium, and chromium); 

(Total) SV M feedrate (i.e., total and pumpable) for the emission standard for SV M (i.e., 

cadmium and lead); and (Total) mercury feedrate (i.e., total and pumpable) for the emission 

standard for mercury. Table 4-39 presents the feedrates of total LV M and pumpable LVM , total 

SVM , and mercury calculated during stack sampling for metals for Unit 2. Total LV M and 

pumpable LVM , total SVM, and mercury feedrates for Unit 3 are presented in Table 4-41, and 

total LV M and pumpable LVM , total SVM , and mercury feedrates for Unit 4 are presented in 

Table 4-43. 

For the calculation of the metals feedrates, the weight of the containerized solid waste 

used to calculate the feedrates of metals was reduced by the weight of the box, and the spiking 

materials lead nitrate, hexachloroethane, and the solution of mercuric nitrate to determine the 

feedrate of containerized solid waste that was analyzed for the metals As, Be, Cd, Cr, Pb, and 

Hg.

5.0 Quality Assurance/Quality Control 

As part of the comprehensive performance test, a project-specific quality 

assurance/quality control (QA/QC) effort was developed and implemented. This QA/QC effort 

was documented in the QAPjP, and was tailored to meet the specific needs of this test effort. 

The results of the QA/QC activities demonstrate that the quality of project 

measurement data is well documented and that the data are reliable, defensible, and 

meet project objectives. 

The primary objectives of the QA/QC effort were to control, assess, and document data 

quality. To accomplish these objectives, the QA/QC approach consisted of the following key 

elements: 

• Definition of quality assurance objectives that reflect the overall technical objectives 

of the measurement program; 

• Design of a sampling, analytical, QA/QC and data analysis system to meet those 

objectives; 

• Evaluation of the performance of the measurement system; and 

• Initiation of corrective action when measurement system performance does not meet 

the specifications 

The CPT of the incinerators at Veolia Sauget was conducted in accordance with the QA 

procedures described in the Quality Assurance Project Plan for the Comprehensive Performance 

Test of the Units 2 and 3 Fixed Hearth Incinerators and the Unit 4 Rotary Kiln Incinerator, 

September 25, 2013. These QA procedures include sampling and analytical procedures, along 

with specified calibration requirements, QC checks, data reduction and validation procedures, 

and sample tracking. A review of analytical results for QA/QC samples and assessment of 

overall data quality is presented in this section. Detailed QC information is presented in the 

appendices to this report. 

The sections below present discussions of the QA/QC activities associated with the 

overall quality of the data associated with the CPT. Although several minor issues are identified 

and discussed in the following sections, the overall conclusion of the QA/QC assessment is that 

the results of the testing are of high quality, and are appropriate for their intended use. 

A few minor issues were identified during the QA/QC assessment. These issues and their 

impact on data usability are discussed in greater detail in following sections. 

5-1 
5.1 Audit Samples 

Audit samples were acquired from a Sigma-Aldrich RTC for metals and hydrogen 

chloride. These samples were submitted to the analytical laboratory along with the samples 

collected during the CPT. These results are included on the laboratory reports generated by Test 

America. The evaluation of the results by Sigma Aldrich RTC is presented in Appendix G6. 

The results of the audit samples are summarized in Table 5-1. Laboratory analysis of each audit 

sample was rated as "Acceptable".

5.2 Analysis of Waste Feeds 

5.2.1 Analysis of Waste Feeds for Metals 

Samples of waste feed materials were analyzed for mercury using CVAA , according to 

SW-846 Method 7470A. These same samples were also analyzed for arsenic, beryllium, 

cadmium, chromium, and lead using ICPES, according to SW-846 Method 6010B. These 

samples were prepared for analysis using appropriate extraction or dilution techniques. Quality 

assurance and quality control activities associated with these analyses included: 

• Sample handling and preservation; 

• Preparation and analysis of samples within specified holding times; 

• Preparation and analysis of laboratory blanks; 

5-2 
• Preparation and analysis of laboratory control samples; 

• Duplicate preparation and analysis of received samples; 

• Analysis of duplicate samples; and 

• Preparation and analysis of matrix spike (MS) and matrix spike duplicate (MSD) 

samples. 

Review of these QA/QC activities indicates that these data are supportable, and useable. 

See the detailed data quality assessment in Appendix H. The following issues were identified as 

part of this data quality assessment: 

• The QAPjP specifies the performance of matrix spike/matrix spike duplicates with 

75-125% recovery, 0-20% RPD for mercury and 70-130% recovery, 0-20% RPD for 

other metals. One hundred eighty-seven of 204 MS or MSD met the specifications for 

recovery. One hundred of 102 MS/MSD pairs met the specification for RPD. The 

following samples were outside the specification: 

— VS2-CS-11B-COMP2B: Arsenic recovery 67% in MS, arsenic RPD 23%, 

chromium recovery 149% and 172% in MS/MSD; 

— VS2-CS-15B-COMP2B: chromium recovery 150% in MSD; 

— VS3-CS-12B-COMP2B: chromium recovery 131 and 145% in MS/MSD; 

— VS4-BS-13B-COMP2B: chromium recovery 132 and 134% in MS/MSD, lead 

recovery 208% in MSD; 

— VS4-CS-13B-COMP2B: chromium recovery 164 and 186% in MS/MSD, lead 

recovery 406% in MS, lead RPD 49%, mercury recovery 61 and 45% in 

MS/MSD; and 

— VS4-LB W-12B-COMP2B: cadmium recovery 145% in MSD, mercury recovery 

71 and 66% in MS/MSD. 

Metals feedrates are developed as a sum of totals fed to the system as LV M (arsenic, 

beryllium and chromium); SV M (cadmium and lead) and mercury. The MS/MSD 

outliers detailed above indicate increased uncertainty in the concentrations of the 

metals in those streams. The contribution of these streams to the total feedrates of 

LVM , SV M and mercury are negligible, and the increased uncertainty in these 

concentrations has no impact on the conclusions of the report. No data are qualified 

or invalidated based on MS/MSD results. 

5-3 
5.2.2 Analysis of Waste Feeds for Physical and Chemical Parameters 

Samples of liquid and solid waste feed materials were analyzed for ash content, total 

chlorine, density, gross calorific value, kinematic viscosity, and percent moisture, using the 

following methods: 

• Ash Content: ASTMD482; 

• Total Chlorine: KNOXWC-0016; 

• Density: ASTM D1963; 

• Gross Calorific Value: AST M D240, AST M D5865; 

• Kinematic Viscosity: AST M D 445; and 

• Percent Moisture: Method 160.3, AST M D017. 

Quality assurance and quality control activities associated with these analyses included: 

• Sample handling and preservation; 

• Preparation and analysis of samples within specified holding times; 

• Preparation and analysis of laboratory blanks; 

• Preparation and analysis of laboratory control samples; 

• Preparation and analysis of matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate samples; 

• Collection and analysis of duplicate samples; and 

• Preparation and analysis of selected samples in duplicate. 

Review of these QA/QC activities indicates that data are supportable, and usable for the purpose 

of demonstrating regulatory compliance. See the detailed data quality assessment in Appendix H. 

The following issues were identified during the course of the QA/QC assessment: 

• Selected samples were analyzed in duplicate. Ninety of 96 duplicate analyses met the 

QAPP specifications (see table below). The outliers are: 

- Ash in VS2-HBW-13B-COMP2B; results of 582 and 646 mg/kg; RPD of 10.4%; 

- Gross Calorific Value in VS2-LBW-15B-COMP2B; results of 178 and 152 

Btu/lb; RPD of 15.8%; 

- Chlorine in VS3-CS-11A-COMP 1; results of 253 and 325 mg/kg; RPD of 24.9%; 

- Chlorine in VS4-BS-11 A-COMP 1; results of 171 and 221 mg/kg; RPD of 25.5%; 

- Ash in VS4-HBW-12B-COMP2B-DUP; results of 943 and 1050 mg/kg; RPD of 

10.7%; and 

- Ash VS4-HBW-13A-COMP 1; results of 1,500 and 928 mg/kg; RPD of 47.1%. 

The outliers for duplicate analysis have a negligible impact on the usability of the 

data. The chlorine carried in containerized solids and bulk solids is negligible (<1%) 

compared to the chlorine provided by the spiking material. The ash carried in highBtu waste is negligible (<1%) compared to the ash provided by the bulk or 

5-4 
containerized solids. The heat input results in low-Btu waste are near the detection 

limit. Increased uncertainty is expected close to the detection limit. No data are 

qualified or invalidated based on the results of duplicate analysis. 

• No duplicate analysis was performed for moisture in solid waste streams. This 

duplicate analysis was specified in the QAPjP. This has no impact on the usability of 

the data. Moisture results are used only to characterize the waste feed materials, and 

are not used in any demonstration of compliance. No data are qualified or invalidated 

based on this omission. 

5.3 Stack Gas 

5.3.1 Isokinetic Sample Collection 

Isokinetic sampling trains were used for the collection of samples for the determination 

of: 

• Particulate matter according to EPA Method 5; 

• Hydrogen chloride and chlorine according to Modified EPA Method 26A; 

• Metals according to EPA Method 29; and Polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and 

polychlorinated dibenzofurans according to SW-846 Method 0023A. 

Quality assurance and quality control activities associated with the collection of these samples 

included: 

• Collection of the specified volumes of stack gas over the specified duration; 

• Collection of stack gas within 90-110% of isokinetic; 

• Maintaining the probe, filter and (on applicable trains) heated transfer line at the 

specified temperatures; 

• Maintaining the impinger exit and (on applicable trains) the condenser exit at the 

specified temperature; 

• Performing sampling train leak checks before sample collection, at port changes, and 

after sample collection; 

• Performing pitot tube leak checks before and after sample collection; and 

• Recording all data on pre-printed data sheets. 

Review of these QA/QC activities indicates that sampling was performed according to the 

methods and the QAPjP. See the detailed data quality assessment in Appendix H. Sampling data 

sheets are presented in Appendix F. Calibration documentation for all field equipment is 

presented in Appendix I. No issues were identified as part of the data quality assessment. 

5-5 
5.3.2 Analysis of Stack Gas Samples for Determination of PM 

Samples of stack gas for determination of particulate matter (PM) were collected in a 

sampling train meeting the requirements EPA Method 5. 

Quality assurance and quality control activities associated with this analysis included: 

• Sample handling and preservation; 

• Preparation and analysis of samples within specified holding times; 

• Preparation and analysis of laboratory blanks; 

• Collection and analysis of field blanks; 

• Repeatability of sequential weighings; and 

• Daily balance calibration. 

Review of these QA/QC activities indicates that these data are supportable, and useable. See the 

detailed data quality assessment in Appendix H. The following issue was identified during the 

QA/QC review: 

• The field blank probe and nozzle rinse had observable levels near the detection limit. 

The levels of particulate material observed in the PNR samples were very low, and 

near the detection limit. Levels in the field samples were similar to these results, and 

may have a positive bias. As a positive bias is conservative relative to the estimation 

of emissions, no data are qualified or invalidated based on field blank results. 

5.3.3 Analysis of Stack Gas Samples for Determination of HCI/CI2 

Samples of stack gas for determination of hydrogen chloride and chlorine (HCI/CI2) were 

collected in a Modified EPA Method 26A sampling train. Samples recovered from this sampling 

train were analyzed for hydrogen chloride and chlorine using ion chromatography, according to 

E PA Method 26A. 

Quality assurance and quality control activities associated with these analyses included: 

• Sample handling and preservation; 

• Preparation and analysis of samples within specified holding times; 

• Preparation and analysis of laboratory blanks; 

• Collection and analysis of field blanks; 

• Preparation and analysis of laboratory control samples; 

• Preparation and analysis of matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate samples; and 

• Preparation and analysis of all samples in duplicate. 

5-6 
Review of these QA/QC activities indicates that these data are supportable, and useable. See the 

detailed data quality assessment in Appendix H. The following issue was identified during the 

QA/QC review: 

• Hydrogen chloride was consistently detected in the field blank samples. The levels of 

hydrogen chloride observed (approximately 60 fig per sample) are well below the 

levels observed in the field samples (all greater than 1,800 \ig per sample). These 

levels are negligible and have no impact on the data. No data are qualified or 

invalidated based on blank results. 

5.3.4 Analysis of Stack Gas Samples for Determination of Metals 

Samples for determination of metals in stack gas were collected according to EPA 

Method 29. The filters, impinger solutions and rinses were analyzed for mercury by CVA A 

according to SW-846 Method 7470A and for arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, and lead 

by ICPES, according to SW-846 Method 6010B. 

Quality assurance and quality control activities associated with these analyses included: 

• Sample handling and preservation; 

• Preparation and analysis of samples within specified holding times; 

• Preparation and analysis of laboratory blanks; 

• Collection and analysis of field blanks; 

• Preparation and analysis of media check samples; 

• Preparation and analysis of laboratory control samples (LCS) and laboratory check 

sample duplicates (LCSD); 

• Preparation and analysis of matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate samples; and 

• Preparation and analysis of post digestion spike (PDS) and post digestion spike 

duplicate (PDSD) samples. 

Review of these QA/QC activities indicates that these data are supportable, and useable. See the 

detailed data quality assessment in Appendix H. The following issues were identified during the 

QA/QC review: 

• Arsenic was found above the detection limit in laboratory blank samples associated 

with analysis of PNR/filter samples. The blank results for arsenic in the laboratory 

blanks are near the detection limit, and similar to or below the results for the field 

samples. This may indicate a slight positive bias in the field results. Samples were not 

corrected for field blank results. No results are invalidated or qualified based on 

blank results. 

5-7 
• Cadmium and mercury were each found in one field blank sample. The single 

positive result for cadmium in one field blank is similar in magnitude to the field 

results. The single positive result for mercury in one field blank is near the detection 

limit, and well below many of the field results. These may indicate a slight positive 

bias in the field samples. Samples were not corrected for field blank results. No 

results are invalidated or qualified based on blank results. 

• Chromium was consistently observed in field blanks and media check samples. The 

consistent observation of chromium in field blank and media check samples is at a 

lower level than the field samples. This may indicate a slight positive bias in the 

results for the field samples. Samples were not corrected for field blank results. No 

results are invalidated or qualified based on blank results. 

5.3.5 Analysis of Stack Gas Samples for Determination of Dioxins/Furans 

Samples for determination of the polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and dibenzofurans 

(dioxins/furans) were collected according to the methodology described in SW-846 

Method 0023A. The filters, sorbent traps, and rinses from these samples were prepared for 

analysis according to SW-846 Method 0023A, and the resulting extracts analyzed for 

dioxins/furans by high-resolution GCMS, according to SW-846 Method 8290. 

Quality assurance and quality control activities associated with these analyses included: 

• Sample handling and preservation; 

• Preparation and analysis of samples within specified holding times; 

• Preparation and analysis of laboratory blanks; 

• Collection and analysis of field blanks; 

• Preparation and analysis of media check samples; 

• Preparation and analysis of laboratory control samples and laboratory check sample 

duplicates; and 

• Addition of surrogate compounds to each sample. 

Review of these QA/QC activities indicates that these data are supportable, and useable. See the 

detailed data quality assessment in Appendix H. The following issue was identified during the 

QA/QC review of these data: 

• Al l target analytes except 2,3,7,8-TCDD were observed in a media check sample, 

laboratory blank or field blank. The levels observed in the blank samples are very 

low, typically near the detection limit. Typically these levels are below the levels 

observed in the field samples. This indicates a potential positive bias in the field 

samples, which is conservative relative to the determination of emission rate. No data 

are qualified or invalidated based on blank results. 

5-8 
5.3.6 Monitoring of Stack Gas for 02

, C0 2 , and THC 

The stack gas was monitored for oxygen (02 ), carbon dioxide (CO2), and total 

hydrocarbons (THC) according to EPA Methods 3A and 25A, respectively. 

Quality assurance and quality control activities associated with continuous emission 

monitoring include: 

• Use of calibration gas standards of known and acceptable quality; 

• Use of calibration gas standards in the specified ranges, 

• Performance of system bias checks, 

• Performance of calibration error tests; and 

• Performance of zero and span drift checks. 

Review of these QA/QC activities indicates that these data are supportable and usable. See the 

data quality assessment in Appendix H Copies of certifications of calibration gas standards are 

presented in Appendix L Raw data for continuous emission monitors are presented in Appendix 

F. The following issue was identified during the QA/QC review of this data: 

• Seventy of 72 drift checks for total hydrocarbons met method specifications. The two 

outliers were both during Unit 2 Run IB. A drift of 8.0% was seen at 1800, and a drift 

of 8.3% was observed at 1909. In accordance with EPA Method 25A, the total 

hydrocarbon analyzer was immediately re-calibrated following each of the drift 

excursions. The data from the run was then recalculated using both calibration curves 

and the higher (more conservative) result reported. As the average THC was well 

below the standard, and that the conservative recalculation approach specified in the 

method was implemented, any uncertainty in these data has no impact on the 

conclusion of the report and the demonstration of compliance. No data are flagged or 

invalidated based on the calibration drift results. 

5.4 Process Data 

In accordance with the MACT requirements, all process instrumentation was calibrated. 

A Continuous Monitoring System Performance Evaluation Test Plan (CMSPETP) was prepared 

and defines the calibration procedures and acceptance criteria. The testing specified in the 

CMSPETP was performed prior to the CPT. Data from the CMSPET is presented in Appendix 

D. 
5.5 Spiking 

As detailed in Sections 1.3 and 2.3 and Appendix B, during the CPT, liquids and solids 

were spiked into the incinerator feed. QA/QC activities associated with the spiking included: 

• Use of spiking materials of known and acceptable quality; 

• Collection of data on data sheets and appropriate data acquisition systems; 

• Calibration of pumps; and 

• Documentation of preparation of spiking packets. 

Review of these QA/QC activities indicates that the spiking data are supportable and useable. 

5-10
