(4) As part of the
				  corrective action plan, the commission may impose an injection pressure
				  limitation that does not cause the pressure in the injection zone to exceed
				  hydrostatic pressure in those wells described in paragraph (1) of this section,
				  which condition shall expire upon completion of all corrective action
				  measures.
(5) Action prescribed by
				  a corrective action plan for new wells or new areas must be completed to the
				  satisfaction of the executive director before operation of the well
				  begins.
(6) If additional
				  information is submitted or discovered, after an authorization for injection
				  has been granted, that a well within the area of review might pose a hazard to
				  a freshwater aquifer, the commission may prescribe a corrective action plan and
				  compliance schedule as a condition for continued injection
				  activities.

					 for a new hazardous waste incinerator. These permit conditions will be
					 effective for a minimum required time, not to exceed 720 hours operating time
					 for treatment of hazardous waste, to bring the incinerator to a point of
					 operational readiness sufficient to conduct a trial burn. The commission 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 pursuant to §
										305.69
					 of this title (relating to Solid Waste Permit Modification at the Request of
					 the Permittee).
(1) Applicant must
				  submit a statement, with Part B of the permit application, which suggests the

				  40 Code of Federal Regulations §284.343 during this period. This statement
				  should include, at a minimum, restrictions on waste constituents, waste feed
				  rates, and the operating parameters identified in 40 Code of Federal
				  Regulations §264.345.
(2) The
				  executive director shall review this statement and any other relevant

					 conditions in the permit for a new hazardous waste incinerator, to be effective
					 during the trial burn.
(1) Applicant
				  shall propose a trial burn plan, prepared under paragraph (2) of this section,
				  with Part B of the permit application.
(2) The trial burn plan shall include the
				  following information:
(A) an analysis of
				  each waste or mixture of wastes to be burned which includes:
(i) heat value of the waste in the form and
				  composition in which it will be burned;
(ii) viscosity (if applicable), or
				  description of physical form of the waste;
(iii) an identification of any hazardous
				  organic constituents listed in 40 CFR Part 261, Appendix VIII, which are
				  present in the waste to be burned, except that the applicant need not analyze
				  for constituents listed in 40 CFR Part 261, Appendix VIII, which reasonably
				  would not be expected to be found in the waste. The constituents excluded from
				  analysis must be identified, and the basis for their exclusion established. The
				  waste analysis must rely on appropriate analytical techniques; and
(iv) an approximate quantification of the
				  hazardous constituents identified in the waste, within the precision produced
				  by appropriate analytical methods;

Texas Administrative Code › Title 30 - ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY › Part 1 - TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY › Chapter 305 - CONSOLIDATED PERMITS › Subchapter O - ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS AND PROCEDURES FOR WASTEWATER DISCHARGE PERMITS AND SEWAGE SLUDGE PERMITS › Section 305.533 - Adoption of Environmental Protection Agency Issued Permits and Pretreatment Programs

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
On the date of TNRCC assumption of the administration of
					 the Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) permit program, after
					 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approves the TPDES permit program,
					 and the issuance of national pollutant discharge elimination system (NPDES)
					 permits is delegated from the EPA to the state, the state adopts all EPA
					 permits and pretreatment programs, except that EPA shall retain jurisdiction
					 over certain EPA-issued or proposed permits until their expiration which it has
					 issued as may be specified in a state/federal Memorandum of Agreement. This
					 provision does not affect the right of the EPA to issue NPDES permits for
					 facilities which expired in the 12 months preceding the date of program
					 assumption or to modify NPDES permits under Clean Water Act, §304(l). If
					 the requirements of a state permit and an EPA permit issued to the same
					 permittee or for the same facility are not of equal stringency, any
					 requirements of the state-issued permit that are more stringent shall apply
					 above and beyond those requirements contained in the corresponding EPA
					 permit.

				  section.
(b) Notice.

Current through Reg. 49, No. 28; July 12, 2024
Adopted new §305.542 adopts by reference 40 CFR Part
					 403, as amended, with the following exceptions. The commission is not adopting
					 40 CFR §§
											403.16 or
					 40
					 CFR §
											403.19 because
					 40 CFR §
											403.16 is less stringent than 30 TAC §
										305.535
					 and 40CFR §403.19 expired in 2005. Additionally, the adopted rule states
					 that where
					 40
					 CFR §
											403.11 provides procedures for
					 requesting and holding a public hearing, the commission shall instead require
					 notice of and hold a public meeting. Public meetings conducted by the executive
					 director provide an opportunity for public comment and follow the procedures
					 described in
					 40
					 CFR §
											403.11.
The federal regulations in 40 CFR Part 403 establish
					 responsibilities of Federal, State, and local government, industry, and the
					 public to implement National Pretreatment Standards to control pollutants which
					 pass through or interfere with treatment processes in Publicly Owned Treatment
					 Works or which may contaminate sewage sludge.
The federal regulations in 40 CFR Part 403, which were in
					 effect on the date of TPDES program authorization (i.e., September 1998), were
					 previously adopted by reference, as amended, in 30 TAC Chapter 315. EPA amended
					 40 CFR Part 403 several times after 1998. The adopted rule adopts by reference
					 the most current version of 40 CFR Part 403 adopted on November 2, 2020, as
					 amended.

Adopted new §305.543 adopts by reference 40 CFR Part
					 129 , Subpart A, as in effect on the date of TPDES program authorization, as
					 amended. No changes to these federal regulations have been adopted by EPA since
					 the date of TPDES program authorization in September 1998. The federal
					 regulations in 40 CFR Part 129 establish effluent standards or prohibitions for
					 the discharge of toxic pollutants.
