Current through June, 2024
When an owner or operator of a cement kiln, lightweight
						aggregate kiln, solid fuel boiler, liquid fuel boiler, or hydrochloric acid
						production furnace becomes subject to RCRA permit requirements after October
						12, 2005 or when an owner or operator of an existing cement kiln, lightweight
						aggregate kiln, solid fuel boiler, liquid fuel boiler, or hydrochloric acid
						production furnace demonstrates compliance with the air emission standards and
						limitations in part 63, subpart EEE, of this chapter (i.e., by conducting a
						comprehensive performance test and submitting a Notification of Compliance
						under §§ 63.1207(j) and 63.1210(d) of this chapter documenting
						compliance with all applicable requirements of part 63, subpart EEE, of this
						chapter), the requirements of this section do not apply. The requirements of
						this section do apply, however, if the Director determines certain provisions
						are necessary to ensure compliance with §§ 266.102(e)(1) and
						266.102(e)(2)(iii) of this chapter if you elect to comply with §
						270.235(a)(1)(i) to minimize emissions of toxic compounds from startup,
						shutdown, and malfunction events; or if you are an area source and elect to
						comply with the §§ 266.105, 266.106, and 266.107 standards and
						associated requirements for particulate matter, hydrogen chloride and chlorine
						gas, and non-mercury metals; or the Director determines certain provisions
						apply, on a case-by-case basis, for purposes of information collection in
						accordance with §§ 270.10(k), 270.10(l), 270.32(b)(2), and
						270.32(b)(3).
(a) General. Owners and
					 operators of new boilers and industrial furnaces (those not operating under the
					 interim status standards of § 266.103 of this chapter) are subject to
					 paragraphs (b) through (f) of this section. Boilers and industrial furnaces
					 operating under the interim status standards of § 266.103 of this chapter
					 are subject to paragraph (g) of this section.
(b) Permit operating periods for new boilers
					 and industrial furnaces. A permit for a new boiler or industrial furnace shall
					 specify appropriate conditions for the following operating periods:
(1) Pretrial burn period. For the period
					 beginning with initial introduction of hazardous waste and ending with
					 initiation of the trial burn, and only for the minimum time required to bring
					 the boiler or industrial furnace to a point of operational readiness to conduct
					 a trial burn, not to exceed 720 hours operating time when burning hazardous
					 waste, the Director must establish in the Pretrial Burn Period of the permit
					 conditions, including but not limited to, allowable hazardous waste feed rates
					 and operating conditions. The Director may extend the duration of this
					 operational period once, for up to 720 additional hours, at the request of the
					 applicant when good cause is shown. The permit may be modified to reflect the
					 extension according to § 270.42.
(i)
					 Applicants must submit a statement, with part B of the permit application, that
					 suggests the conditions necessary to operate in compliance with the standards
					 of §§ 266.104 through 266.107 of this chapter during this period.
					 This statement should include, at a minimum, restrictions on the applicable
					 operating requirements identified in § 266.102(e) of this
					 chapter.
(ii) The Director will
					 review this statement and any other relevant information submitted with part B
					 of the permit application and specify requirements for this period sufficient
					 to meet the performance standards of §§ 266.104 through 266.107 of
					 this chapter based on his/her engineering judgment.
