				  readiness to conduct a trial burn, not to exceed 720 hours operating time when
				  burning hazardous waste, the department shall establish in the pretrial burn
				  period of the license conditions, including but not limited to, allowable
				  hazardous waste feed rates and operating conditions. The department may extend
				  the duration of this operational period once, for up to 720 additional hours,
