Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
A. Monitoring
1. The owner/operator shall install,
				  calibrate, maintain and operate monitoring devices as indicated below within
				  one year from February 26, 1988. Required monitoring devices must meet the
				  specifications of Section VII of this standard. Alternative site-specific
				  methods of monitoring, other than those cited below, may be used provided prior
				  approval from the Department is obtained. Other monitors may be required by
				  permits as conditions warrant.
2.
				  Specific Source Types
a. Retail Business
				  Incinerators - None.
b. Crematory
				  Incinerator - None.
c. Sludge
				  Incinerator (effective June 25, 1999) - Monitoring devices if required by 40
				  CFR 60 Subpart O.
d. Hazardous
				  Waste Incinerators
(i) The temperature must
				  be continuously recorded as measured at the point of incineration.
(ii) The pressure drop across baghouses and
				  scrubbers must be continuously measured and recorded.
(iii) The concentration of carbon monoxide in
				  the effluent gas stream must be continuously measured and recorded.
(iv) The concentration of oxygen in the
				  effluent gas stream must be continuously measured and recorded.
(v) The waste feed rate to the incinerator
				  must be continuously measured and recorded.
e. Municipal Waste Combustor (effective June
				  25, 1999)
(i) The combustion chamber exit
				  temperature shall be continuously measured and recorded. Sensors shall be
				  located such that flames from the burners do not impinge on the
				  sensors.
(ii) Pollution control
				  performance gauges or meters as required by permit conditions.
(iii) Instruments for the continuous
				  monitoring and recording of O2, CO,
				  CO2, and opacity.
(iv) For cement kilns wishing to comply with
				  the THC limit, instruments for the continuous monitoring and recording of
				  THC.
(v) The Department reserves
				  the right to require HCl monitors at any time if it is determined to be
				  necessary.
(vi) The
				  O2, CO and CO2 (and THC if
				  applicable) monitors shall be co-located upstream of the air pollution control
				  devices. If the applicant chooses to comply with the HCl emission limitations
				  by meeting the percent reduction or BACT reduction requirement, the HCl
				  monitors, when required, shall be located upstream and downstream from the air
				  pollution control device. If the applicant chooses to monitor the two locations
				  with a single detector, the two locations should be sampled at an interval
				  previously approved by the Department.
(vii) The Department reserves the right to
				  require, at a later date, the owner/operator to provide telemetering of
				  continuous monitoring data to the Department.
f. Air Curtain Incinerator - None.
g. Commercial Incinerator (effective June 25,
				  1999) - The combustion chamber exit temperature shall be continuously measured
				  and recorded. Sensors shall be located such that flames from the burners do not
				  impinge on the sensors.
h.
				  Industrial Incinerators - Monitoring may be required as in item d. or e. above
				  depending on the material being incinerated or burned and source test
				  results.
i. Industrial Boilers and
				  Utility Boilers - Monitoring may be required as in item d. or e. above
				  depending on the material being incinerated or burned and source test
				  results.
j. Non-Industrial Boilers
				  - None.
k. Industrial Furnaces -
				  Monitoring may be required as in item d. or e. above depending on the material
				  being incinerated or burned and source test results.
l. Non-Industrial Furnaces - None.
