In addition to the waste analyses required by s.
					 NR
					 665.0013, the owner or operator shall sufficiently
					 analyze any waste which the owner or operator has not previously treated in the
					 thermal process to enable the owner or operator to establish steady state
					 (normal) or other appropriate (for a non-continuous process) operating
					 conditions (including waste and auxiliary fuel feed) and to determine the type
					 of pollutants which might be emitted. At a minimum, the analysis shall
					 determine all of the following:
(1)
				  Heating value of the waste.
(2)
				  Halogen content and sulfur content in the waste.
(3) Concentrations in the waste of lead and
				  mercury, unless the owner or operator has written, documented data that show
				  that the element is not present.

Current through June 24, 2024
The owner or operator shall conduct, as a minimum, all of
					 the following monitoring and inspections when thermally treating hazardous
					 waste:
(1) Existing instruments which
				  relate to temperature and emission control (if an emission control device is
				  present) shall be monitored at least every 15 minutes. Appropriate corrections
				  to maintain steady state or other appropriate thermal treatment conditions
				  shall be made immediately either automatically or by the operator. Instruments
				  which relate to temperature and emission control would normally include those
				  measuring waste feed, auxiliary fuel feed, treatment process temperature and
				  relevant process flow and level controls.
(2) The stack plume (emissions), where
				  present, shall be observed visually at least hourly for normal appearance
				  (color and opacity). The operator shall immediately make any indicated
				  operating corrections necessary to return any visible emissions to their normal
				  appearance.
(3) The complete
				  thermal treatment process and associated equipment (pumps, valves, conveyors,
				  pipes, etc.) shall be inspected at least daily for leaks, spills and fugitive
				  emissions, and all emergency shutdown controls and system alarms shall be
				  checked to assure proper operation.
