Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 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 RCRA permit requirements after October
					 12, 2005 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 63.1207(j) and 63.1210 (d) documenting compliance with all applicable
					 requirements of part 63, subpart EEE), the requirements do not apply. The
					 requirements of this section do apply, however, if the Department determines
					 certain provisions are necessary to ensure compliance with 266.102(e)(1) and
					 266.102(e)(2)(iii) if you elect to comply with 270.235(a)(1)(i) to minimize
					 emissions of toxic compounds from startup, shutdown, and malfunction events; or
					 if you are an area source and elect to comply with 266.105, 266.106, and
					 266.107 standards and associated requirements for particulate matter, hydrogen
					 chloride and chlorine gas, and non-mercury metals; or the Department determines
					 certain provisions apply, on a case-by-case basis, for purposes of information
					 collection in accordance with 270.10(k), 270.10(l), 270.32(b)(2) , and
					 270.32(b)(3).
(a) General. Owners and
				  operators of new boilers and industrial furnaces (those not operating under the
				  interim status standards of 266.103 of this chapter) are subject to paragraphs
				  (b) through (f) of this section. Boilers and industrial furnaces operating
				  under the interim status standards of 266.103 of this chapter are subject to
				  paragraph (g) of this section.
(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 720 hours operating time when
				  burning hazardous waste, the Director must 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 720 additional hours,
				  at the request of the applicant when good cause is shown. The permit may be
				  modified to reflect the extension according to 270.42.
(i) Applicants must submit a statement, with
				  part B of the permit application, that suggests the conditions necessary to
				  operate in compliance with the standards of 266.104 through 266.107 of this
				  chapter during this period. This statement should include, at a minimum,
				  restrictions on the applicable operating requirements identified in 266.102(e)
				  of this chapter.
(ii) The Director
				  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 266.104 through 266.107 of this
				  chapter based on his/her engineering judgment.
