Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
If all qualified operators are temporarily not accessible
						(i.e., not at the facility and not able to be at the facility within 1 hour),
						you must meet one of the two criteria specified in paragraphs (1) and (2) of
						this section, depending on the length of time that a qualified operator is not
						accessible.
(1) When all qualified
					 operators are not accessible for more than 8 hours, but less than 2 weeks, the
					 commercial and industrial solid waste incineration (CISWI) unit may be operated
					 by other plant personnel familiar with the operation of the CISWI unit who have
					 completed a review of the information specified in §
											113.2218(a)
					 of this title (relating to What site-specific documentation is required?)
					 within the past 12 months. However, you must record the period when all
					 qualified operators were not accessible and include this deviation in the
					 annual report as specified under §
											113.2240
					 of this title (relating to What information must I include in my annual
					 report?).
(2) When all qualified
					 operators are not accessible for 2 weeks or more, you must take the two actions
					 that are described in subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this paragraph.
(A) Notify the executive director of this
					 deviation in writing within 10 days after the end of the 2-week period. In the
					 notice, state what caused this deviation, what you are doing to ensure that a
					 qualified operator is accessible, and when you anticipate that a qualified
					 operator will be accessible.
(B)
					 Submit a status report to the executive director every 4 weeks outlining what
					 you are doing to ensure that a qualified operator is accessible, stating when
					 you anticipate that a qualified operator will be accessible, and requesting
					 approval from the executive director to continue operation of the CISWI unit.
					 You must submit the first status report 4 weeks after you notify the executive
					 director of the deviation under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph. If the
					 executive director notifies you that your request to continue operation of the
					 CISWI unit is disapproved, the CISWI unit may continue operation for 90 days,
					 then must cease operation. Operation of the unit may resume if you meet the two
					 requirements in clauses (i) and (ii) of this subparagraph.
(i) A qualified operator is accessible as
					 required under §
													113.2213(a)
					 of this title (relating to What are the operator training and qualification
					 requirements?).
(ii) You notify the
					 executive director that a qualified operator is accessible and that you are
					 resuming operation.
