Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
				All applicants seeking a hazardous waste technology certification evaluation
				shall submit the following information to the Department, unless the Department
				indicates to the applicant in writing that a particular item is inapplicable
				and need not be submitted:
(1) Name of
				applicant, contact person, mailing address, and telephone number.
(2) A technology description including but
				not limited to a discussion of the unit processes or specific steps by which
				the technology operates, process flow diagrams, piping and instrumentation
				diagrams, and equipment specifications.
(3) The underlying scientific and engineering
				principles of the technology supported by technical literature, patents, and
				other documentation, if available.
(4) A description of the commercial status of
				the technology.
(5) Proposed
				certification statement, including performance claims and the hazardous waste
				streams or materials for which the applicant wants the technology to be
				certified.
(6) An estimate of the
				efficacy and efficiency of the technology in regard to those hazardous waste
				streams/materials for which certification is desired and bases for arriving at
				the estimates.
(7) Recommended
				operating conditions and limits.
(8) Supporting data and documentation
				necessary to verify the efficacy and efficiency of the technology for the
				recommended operating limits. Where existing data are insufficient, the
				applicant shall provide a description of new studies and experiments needed to
				generate the necessary data.
(9)
				Description of all potential environmental impacts, including but not limited
				to emissions, discharges, and residuals from use of the technology.
(10) Quality control/quality assurance
				procedures.
(11) Critical operating
				parameters and conditions.
(12)
				Monitoring and control of operating parameters and conditions.
(13) Operator training, education, and
				experience requirements to safely and effectively operate the technology, if
				any.
(14) Operation and maintenance
				procedures (including installation, inspection, and emergency and upset
				instructions), supported by documents such as standard operational procedures,
				users manuals, operational and maintenance manuals.
(15) Documents which address worker health
				and safety issues and requirements related to the use of the technology,
				including but not limited to material safety data sheets and health and safety
				plans.
(16) The hazards to health,
				safety, or to the environment posed by those hazardous wastes and materials and
				their constituents for which the technology is designed to manage.
(17) The complexity and degree of difficulty
				of operating the technology in regards to the hazardous waste streams and
				materials for which certification is desired.
(18) The chemical or physical hazards that
				are associated with the use of the technology, and the hazards associated with
				the process which produced the hazardous waste or wastes.
(19) The levels of specialized operator
				training, technology maintenance, and monitoring that are required to ensure
				that the technology is operated safely and effectively.
(20) The types of accidents or system upsets
				which may occur during use of the technology in managing those hazardous waste
				streams and materials for which certification is desired, the likely
				consequences of those accidents, and the actual accident history associated
				with the use of the technology.
(21) Any additional information deemed
				necessary by the Department in order for it to make a determination regarding
				suitability for certification.
