Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1,
			 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 hazardous waste permit requirements after
				February 16, 2009, 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 40 CFR Part 63
				subpart EEE [i.e., by conducting a comprehensive performance test and
				submitting a notification of compliance under
				40 CFR
				63.1207(j) and 40 CFR
				63.1210(d) documenting compliance with all applicable requirements of 40 CFR
				Part 63 subpart EEE], this rule does not apply. This rule does apply, however,
				if the director determines that certain provisions are necessary to ensure
				compliance with paragraphs (E)(1) and (E)(2)(c) of rule
				3745-266-102
				of the Administrative Code if the owner or operator elects to comply with
				paragraph (A)(1)(a) of rule
				3745-50-235
				of the Administrative Code to minimize emissions of toxic compounds from
				startup, shutdown, and malfunction events, or if the facility
				is an area source and the owner or operator elects to comply with the rules
				3745-266-105,
				3745-266-106,
				and
				3745-266-107
				of the Administrative Code standards and associated requirements for
				particulate matter, hydrogen chloride and chlorine gas, and non-mercury metals;
				or if the director determines that certain provisions apply, on a case-by-case
				basis, to collect information  in accordance with paragraphs (A)(5),
				(D)(6), (H), and (I)  of rule
				3745-50-40
				of the Administrative Code and paragraphs (D)(3)(b) and (D)(4) (a)(v) of rule
				3745-50-51
				of the Administrative Code.
(A)
			 General. Owners and operators of new boilers and industrial furnaces (those not
			 operating under the standards of rule
			 3745-266-103
			 of the Administrative Code) are subject to paragraphs (B) to (F) of this rule.
			 Boilers and industrial furnaces operating under the standards of rule
			 3745-266-103
			 of the Administrative Code are subject to paragraph (G) of this rule.
(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 seven hundred twenty hours operating time when
			 burning hazardous waste, the director shall 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 seven hundred twenty
			 additional hours, at the request of the applicant when good cause is shown. The
			 permit may be modified to reflect the extension according to rule
			 3745-50-51
			 of the Administrative Code.
(a) Applicants
			 shall submit a statement, with "Part B" of the permit application, that
			 suggests the conditions necessary to operate in compliance with the standards
			 of rules
			 3745-266-104
			 to
			 3745-266-107
			 of the Administrative Code during this period. At a minimum, this
			  statement should include restrictions on the applicable operating requirements
			 identified in paragraph (E) of rule
			 3745-266-102
			 of the Administrative Code.
(b)
			 Ohio EPA 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 rules
			 3745-266-104
			 to
			 3745-266-107
			 of the Administrative Code based on 
			 engineering judgment.
