177
RCRA, but the owner or operator is subject to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721 and
178
722.111.
179
180
2) If
the batteries will be reclaimed other than through regeneration, and the
181
owner or operator generates, collects, or transports the batteries, the owner
182
or operator is exempt from 35 Ill. Adm. Code 702, 703, and 722 through
183
726 (except for 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722.111), and the notification
184
requirements of section 3010 of RCRA, but the owner or operator is
185
subject to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721 and 722.111 and applicable provisions of
186
35 Ill. Adm. Code 728.
187

194
provisions of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 728.
195
196
4) If
the batteries will be reclaimed other than through regeneration, and the
197
owner or operator stores the batteries before the owner or operator
198
reclaims them, the owner or operator must comply with Section
199
726.180(b) and other requirements described in that subsection, and the
200
owner or operator is subject to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721 and 722.111 and
201
applicable provisions of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 728.
202
203
5) If
the batteries will be reclaimed other than through regeneration, and the
204
owner or operator does not store the batteries before the owner or operator
205
reclaims them, the owner or operator is exempt from 35 Ill. Adm. Code
206
702, 703, and 722 through 726 (except for 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722.111),
207
and the notification requirements of section 3010 of RCRA, and the owner
208
or operator is subject to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721 and 722.111 and applicable
209
provisions of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 728.
210
211 b) Exemption for spent lead-acid batteries stored before reclamation other than
212
through regeneration. The requirements of this subsection (b) apply to an owner
213
or operator that stores spent lead-acid batteries before it reclaims them, where the
214
owner or operator does not reclaim them through regeneration. The requirements
215
are slightly different depending on the owner's or operator's RCRA permit status.

SUBPART H:
HAZARDOUS WASTE BURNED IN BOILERS
264
AND INDUSTRIAL FURNACES
265
266
Section 726.200 Applicability
267
268 a) The
regulations of this Subpart H apply to hazardous waste burned or processed
269
in a boiler or industrial furnace (BIF) (as defined in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.110)
270
irrespective of the purpose of burning or processing, except as provided by
271
subsections (b), (c), (d), (g), and (h) of this Section. In this Subpart H, the term
272
"burn" means burning for energy recovery or destruction or processing for
273
materials recovery or as an ingredient. The emissions standards of Sections
274
726.204, 726.205, 726.206, and 726.207 apply to facilities operating under
275
interim status or under a RCRA permit, as specified in Sections 726.202 and
276 726.203.
277
278 b) Integration of the MACT standards.
279
280
1) Except
as provided by subsections(b)(2), (b)(3), and (b)(4) of this Section,
281
the standards of this Part do not apply to a new hazardous waste boiler or
282
industrial furnace unit that becomes subject to RCRA permit requirements
283
after October 12, 2005; or no longer apply when an owner or operator of
284
an existing hazardous waste boiler or industrial furnace unit demonstrates
285
compliance with the maximum achievable control technology (MACT)
286
requirements of federal subpart EEE of 40 CFR 63 (National Emission
287
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from Hazardous Waste
288
Combustors), incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111(b),
289
by conducting a comprehensive performance test and submitting to the
290
Agency a Notification of Compliance, pursuant to 40 CFR 63.1207(j)
291
(What are the performance testing requirements?) and 63.1210(d) (What
292
are the notification requirements?), documenting compliance with the
293
requirements of federal subpart EEE of 40 CFR 63. Nevertheless, even
294
after this demonstration of compliance with the MACT standards, RCRA
295
permit conditions that were based on the standards of this Part will
296
continue to be in effect until they are removed from the permit or the
297
permit is terminated or revoked, unless the permit expressly provides
298
otherwise.
299
300
2) The
following standards continue to apply:
301

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
302
A) If
an owner or operator elects to comply with 35 Ill. Adm. Code
303
703.320(a)(1)(A) to minimize emissions of toxic compounds from
304
startup, shutdown, and malfunction events, Section 726.202(e)(1),
305
requiring operations in accordance with the operating requirements
306
specified in the permit at all times that hazardous waste is in the
307
unit, and Section 726.202(e)(2)(C), requiring compliance with the
308
emission standards and operating requirements, during startup and
309
shutdown if hazardous waste is in the combustion chamber, except
310
for particular hazardous wastes. These provisions apply only
311
during startup, shutdown, and malfunction events;
312
313
B) The
closure requirements of Sections 726.202(e)(11) and
314
726.203(1);
315
316
C) The standards for direct transfer of Section 726.211;
317
318
D) The
standards for regulation of residues of Section
319
726.212726.312; and
320
321
E) The
applicable requirements of Subparts A through H, BB, and CC
322
of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 724 and 725.
323

subsection (e)(6)(A)(ii) and moved the text of 40 CFR
1106
266.100(e)(6)(i)(B)(1)(i) and (e)(6)(i)(B)(1)(ii) to appear as
1107
definitions of "continuous monitor" and "hourly rolling
1108
average," respectively, in Section 726.200(i) to comport
1109
with Illinois Administrative Code codification
1110
requirements.
1111

1118
requirements apply:

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
1119
1120
i) The
feed rate of each metal must be limited at any time to
1121
ten times the feed rate that would be allowed on an hourly
1122
rolling average basis;
1123
1124
ii) The
continuous monitor must meet the specifications of
1125
"continuous monitor," "rolling average for the selected

1129
BOARD NOTE: The Board has moved the text of 40 CFR
1130
266.100(e)(6)(ii)(B)(1) and (e)(6)(ii)(B)(2) to appear as
1131
definitions in Section 726.200(i) to comport with Illinois
1132
Administrative Code codification requirements.
1133
1134
iii) The
permit limit for the feed rate of each metal must be
1135
established based on trial burn data as the average over all

valid test runs of the highest hourly rolling average feed
1137
rate for each run.
1138
1139
C) Feed
rate limits for metals, total chlorine and chloride, and ash.
1140
Feed rate limits for metals, total chlorine and chloride, and ash are
1141
established and monitored by knowing the concentration of the
1142
substance (i.e., metals, chloride/chlorine and ash) in each
1143
feedstream and the flow rate of the feedstream. To monitor the
1144
feed rate of these substances, the flow rate of each feedstream must
1145
be monitored pursuant to the continuous monitoring requirements
1146
of subsections (e)(6)(A) and (e)(6)(B) of this Section.
1147
1148
D) Conduct
of trial burn testing.

1150
i) If
compliance with all applicable emissions standards of
1151
Sections 726.204 through 726.207 is not demonstrated
1152
simultaneously during a set of test runs, the operating
1153
conditions of additional test runs required to demonstrate
1154
compliance with remaining emissions standards must be as
1155
close as possible to the original operating conditions.
1156
1157
ii) Prior
to obtaining test data for purposes of demonstrating
1158
compliance with the emissions standards of Sections
1159
726.204 through 726.207 or establishing limits on
1160
operating parameters pursuant to this Section, the unit must
1161
operate under trial burn conditions for a sufficient period to

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
1162
reach steady-state operations. However, industrial furnaces
1163
that recycle collected PM back into the furnace and that
1164
comply with an alternative implementation approach for
1165
metals pursuant to Section 726.206(f) need not reach steady
1166
state conditions with respect to the flow of metals in the
1167
system prior to beginning compliance testing for metals
1168
emissions.
1169
1170
iii) Trial
burn data on the level of an operating parameter for
1171
which a limit must be established in the permit must be
1172
obtained during emissions sampling for the pollutants (i.e.,
1173
metals, PM, HC1/chlorine gas, organic compounds) for
1174
which the parameter must be established as specified by
1175
this subsection (e).
1176
1177

1183
fugitive emissions;
1184
1185
ii) By
maintaining the combustion zone pressure lower than
1186
atmospheric pressure; or
1187
1188
iii) By
an alternative means of control demonstrated (with Part
1189
B of the permit application) to provide fugitive emissions
1190
control equivalent to maintenance of combustion zone
1191
pressure lower than atmospheric pressure.
1192
1193
B) Automatic
waste feed cutoff. A BIF must be operated with a
1194
functioning system that automatically cuts off the hazardous waste
1195
feed when operating conditions deviate from those established
1196
pursuant to this Section. In addition, the following requirements
1197
apply:
1198
1199
i) The
pef lit
limit for (the indicator of) minimum
1200
combustion chamber temperature must be maintained while
1201
hazardous waste or hazardous waste residues remain in the
1202
combustion chamber;
1203
1204
ii) Exhaust
gases must be ducted to the APCS operated in

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
1205
accordance with the permit requirements while hazardous
1206
waste or hazardous waste residues remain in the
1207
combustion chamber; and
1208
1209
iii) Operating
parameters for which permit limits are
1210
established must continue to be monitored during the
1211
cutoff, and the hazardous waste feed must not be restarted
1212
until the levels of those parameters comply with the permit
1213
limits. For parameters that are monitored on an
1214
instantaneous basis, the Agency must establish a minimum
1215
period of time after a waste feed cutoff during which the
1216
parameter must not exceed the permit limit before the
1217
hazardous waste feed is restarted.
1218
1219
C) Changes.
A BIF must cease burning hazardous waste when
1220
combustion properties or feed rates of the hazardous waste, other
1221
fuels or industrial furnace feedstocks, or the BIF design or
1222
operating conditions deviate from the limits as specified in the
1223
peimit.
1224
1225
8) Monitoring and Inspections.
1226
1227
A) The
owner or operator must monitor and record the following, at a
1228
minimum, while burning hazardous waste:
1229
1230
i) If
specified by the permit, feed rates and composition of
1231
hazardous waste, other fuels, and industrial furnace
1232
feedstocks and feed rates of ash, metals, and total chlorine
1233
and chloride;
1234
1235
If specified by the permit, CO, HCs, and oxygen on a
1236
continuous basis at a common point in the BIF downstream
1237
of the combustion zone and prior to release of stack gases
1238
to the atmosphere in accordance with operating
1239
requirements specified in subsection (e)(2)(B) of this
1240
Section. CO, HC, and oxygen monitors must be installed,
1241
operated, and maintained in accordance with methods
1242
specified in Appendix I of this Part; and
1243
1244
iii) Upon
the request of the Agency, sampling and analysis of
1245
the hazardous waste (and other fuels and industrial furnace
1246
feedstocks as appropriate), residues, and exhaust emissions
1247
must be conducted to verify that the operating requirements

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
1248
established in the permit achieve the applicable standards
1249
of Sections 726.204, 726.205, 726.206, and 726.207.
1250
1251
B) All
monitors must record data in units corresponding to the permit
1252
limit unless otherwise specified in the permit.
1253
1254
C) The
BIF and associated equipment (pumps, valvesvalues, pipes,
1255
fuel storage tanks, etc.) must be subjected to thorough visual
1256
inspection when it contains hazardous waste, at least daily for
1257
leaks, spills, fugitive emissions, and signs of tampering.
1258
1259
D) The
automatic hazardous waste feed cutoff system and associated
1260
alarms must be tested at least once every seven days when
1261
hazardous waste is burned to verify operability, unless the
1262
applicant demonstrates to the Agency that weekly inspections will
1263
unduly restrict or upset operations and that less frequent
1264
inspections will be adequate. At a minimum, operational testing
1265
must be conducted at least once every 30 days.
1266
1267
E) These
monitoring and inspection data must be recorded and the
1268
records must be placed in the operating record required by 35 Ill.
1269
Adm. Code 724.173.
1270
1271
9) Direct
transfer to the burner. If hazardous waste is directly transferred
1272
from a transport vehicle to a BIF without the use of a storage unit, the
1273
owner and operator must comply with Section 726.211.
1274
1275
10) Recordkeeping.
The owner or operator must maintainkeep in the
1276
operating record of the facility all information and data required by this
1277
Section for five yearsuntil closure of the facility.
1278
1279
11) Closure.
At closure, the owner or operator must remove all hazardous
1280
waste and hazardous waste residues (including, but not limited to, ash,
1281
scrubber waters, and scrubber sludges) from the BIF.

Section 726.203 Interim Status Standards for Burners
1286
1287 a) Purpose,
scope, and applicability.
1288
1289
1) General.
1290

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
1291
A) The
purpose of this Section is to establish minimum national
1292
standards for owners and operators of "existing" BIFs that burn
1293
hazardous waste where such standards define the acceptable
1294
management of hazardous waste during the period of interim
1295
status. The standards of this Section apply to owners and operators
1296
of existing facilities until either a pelinit is issued under Section
1297
726.202(d) or until closure responsibilities identified in this
1298
Section are fulfilled.
1299
1300
B) "Existing"
or "in existence" means a BIF for which the owner or
1301
operator filed a certification of precompliance with USEPA
1302
pursuant to federal 40 CFR 266.103(b); provided, however, that
1303
USEPA has not determined that the certification is invalid.
1304
1305
C) If
a BIF is located at a facility that already has a RCRA permit or
1306
interim status, then the owner or operator must comply with the
1307
applicable regulations dealing with permit modifications in 35 Ill.
1308
Adm. Code 703.280 or changes in interim status in 35 Ill. Adm.
1309
Code 703.155.
1310
1311
2) Exemptions.
The requirements of this Section do not apply to hazardous
1312
waste and facilities exempt under Section 726.200(b) or 726.208.
1313
1314
3) Prohibition
on burning dioxin-listed wastes. The following hazardous
1315
waste listed for dioxin and hazardous waste derived from any of these
1316
wastes must not be burned in a BIF operating under interim status:
1317
USEPA hazardous waste numbers F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, and
1318
F027.
1319
1320
4) Applicability
of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725 standards. An owner or operator
1321
of a BIF that burns hazardous waste and which is operating under interim
1322
status is subject to the following provisions of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725,
1323
except as provided otherwise by this Section:
1324
1325
A) In
Subpart A of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725 (General), 35 Ill. Adm.
1326
Code 725.104;
1327
1328
B) In
Subpart B of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725 (General facility standards),

JCAR350726-0805605r01
1334
D) In
Subpart D of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725 (Contingency plan and
1335
emergency procedures), 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725.151 through
1336
725.156;
1337
1338
E) In
Subpart E of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725 (Manifest system,
1339
recordkeeping and reporting), 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725.171 through
1340
725.177, except that 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725.171, 725.172 and
1341
725.176 do not apply to owners and operators of on-site facilities
1342
that do not receive any hazardous waste from off-site sources;
1343
1344
F) In
Subpart G of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725 (Closure and post-closure),
1345
35 Ill. Adm. Code 725.211 through 725.215;
1346

1354
for equipment leaks), except 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725.950(a).
1355
1356
5) Special
requirements for furnaces. The following controls apply during
1357
interim status to industrial furnaces (e.g., kilns, cupolas) that feed
1358
hazardous waste for a purpose other than solely as an ingredient (see
1359
subsection (a)(5)(B) of this Section) at any location other than the hot end
1360
where products are normally discharged or where fuels are normally fired:
1361
1362
A) Controls.
1363
1364
i) The
hazardous waste must be fed at a location where
1365
combustion gas temperature is at least 1800°F;
1366
1367
ii) The
owner or operator must determine that adequate
1368
oxygen is present in combustion gases to combust organic
1369
constituents in the waste and retain documentation of such
1370
determination in the facility record;
1371
1372
iii) For
cement kiln systems, the hazardous waste must be fed
1373
into the kiln; and
1374
1375
iv) The
HC controls of Section 726.204(f) or subsection (c)(5)
1376
of this Section apply upon certification of compliance

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
1377
under subsection (c) of this Section, irrespective of the CO
1378
level achieved during the compliance test.
1379
1380
B) Burning
hazardous waste solely as an ingredient. A hazardous
1381
waste is burned for a purpose other than "solely as an ingredient" if
1382
it meets either of the following criteria:
1383
1384
i) The
hazardous waste has a total concentration of nonmetal
1385
compounds listed in Appendix H of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721,
1386
exceeding 500 ppm by weight, as fired and so is considered
1387
to be burned for destruction. The concentration of
1388
nonmetal compounds in a waste as-generated may be
1389
reduced to the 500 ppm limit by bona fide treatment that
1390
removes or destroys nonmetal constituents. Blending for
1391
dilution to meet the 500 ppm limit is prohibited and
1392
documentation that the waste has not been impermissibly
1393
diluted must be retained in the facility record; or
1394
1395
ii) The
hazardous waste has a heating value of 5,000 Btu/lb or
1396
more, as fired, and so is considered to be burned as fuel.
1397
The heating value of a waste as-generated may be reduced
1398
to below the 5,000 Btu/lb limit by bona fide treatment that
1399
removes or destroys organic constituents. The heating
1400
value of a waste as-generated may be reduced to below the
1401
5,000 Btu/lb limit by bona fide treatment that removes or
1402
destroys organic constituents. Blending to augment the
1403
heating value to meet the 5,000 Btu/lb limit is prohibited
1404
and documentation that the waste has not been
1405
impermissibly blended must be retained in the facility
1406
record.
1407
1408
6) Restrictions
on burning hazardous waste that is not a fuel. Prior to
1409
certification of compliance under subsection (c) of this Section, an owner
1410
or operator must not feed hazardous waste that has a heating value less
1411
than 5000 Btu/lb, as generated, (except that the heating value of a waste
1412
as-generated may be increased to above the 5,000 Btu/lb limit by bona
1413
fide treatment; however blending to augment the heating value to meet the
1414
5,000 Btu/lb limit is prohibited and records must be kept to document that
1415
impermissible blending has not occurred) in a BIF, except that the
1416
following may occur:
1417
1418
A) Hazardous
waste may be burned solely as an ingredient;
1419

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
1420
B) Hazardous
waste may be burned for purposes of compliance
1421
testing (or testing prior to compliance testing) for a total period of
1422
time not to exceed 720 hours;
1423
1424
C) Such
waste may be burned if the Agency has documentation to
1425
show that the following was true prior to August 21, 1991:
1426
1427
i) The
BIF was operating under the interim status standards
1428
for incinerators or thermal treatment units, Subparts 0 or P
1429
of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725;
1430
1431
ii) The
BIF met the interim status eligibility requirements
1432
under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.153 for Subparts 0 or P of 35
1433
Ill. Adm. Code 725; and
1434
1435
iii) Hazardous
waste with a heating value less than 5,000
1436
Btu/lb was burned prior to that date; or
1437
1438
D) Such
waste may be burned in a halogen acid furnace if the waste
1439
was burned as an excluded ingredient under 35 Ill. Adm. Code
1440
721.102(e) prior to February 21, 1991, and documentation is kept
1441
on file supporting this claim.
1442
1443
7) Direct
transfer to the burner. If hazardous waste is directly transferred
1444
from a transport vehicle to a BIF without the use of a storage unit, the
1445
owner or operator must comply with Section 726.211.
1446
1447 b) Certification of precompliance. This subsection corresponds with 40 CFR
1448
266.103(b), under which USEPA required certain owners and operators to file a
1449
certification of precompliance by August 21, 1991. No similar filing with the
1450
Agency was required, so the Board did not incorporate the federal filing
1451
requirement into the Illinois regulations. This statement maintains structural
1452
parity with the federal regulations.
1453
1454 c) Certification
of compliance. The owner or operator must conduct emissions
1455
testing to document compliance with the emissions standards of Sections
1456
726.204(b) through (e), 726.205, 726.206, and 726.207 and subsection
1457
(a)(5)(A)(iv) of this Section under the procedures prescribed by this subsection
1458
(c), except under extensions of time provided by subsection (c)(7) of this Section.
1459
Based on the compliance test, the owner or operator must submit to the Agency,
1460
on or before August 21, 1992, a complete and accurate "certification of
1461
compliance" (under subsection (c)(4) of this Section) with those emission
1462
standards establishing limits on the operating parameters specified in subsection

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
1463
(c)(1) of this Section.
1464
1465
1) Limits
on operating conditions. The owner or operator must establish
1466
limits on the following parameters based on operations during the
1467
compliance test (under procedures prescribed in subsection (c)(4)(D)of
1468
this Section) or as otherwise specified and include these limits with the
1469
certification of compliance. The BIF must be operated in accordance with
1470
these operating limits and the applicable emissions standards of Sections
1471
726.204(b) through (e), 726.205, 726.206, and 726.207 and subsection
1472
(a)(5)(A)(iv) of this Section at all times when there is hazardous waste in
1473
the unit.
1474
1475
A) Feed
rate of total hazardous waste and (unless complying the Tier I
1476
or adjusted Tier I metals feed rate screening limits under Section
1477
726.206(b) or (e)), pumpable hazardous waste;
1478
1479
B) Feed
rate of each metal in the following feedstreams:
1480
1481
i) Total
feedstreams, except that industrial furnaces which
1482
must comply with the alternative metals implementation
1483
approach under subsection (c)(3)(B) of this Section must
1484
specify limits on the concentration of each metal in
1485
collected PM in lieu of feed rate limits for total
1486
feedstreams; and facilities that comply with Tier I or
1487
Adjusted Tier I metals feed rate screening limits may set
1488
their operating limits at the metal feed rate screening limits
1489
determined under subsection 726.206(b) or (e) of this
1490
Section;
1491
1492
BOARD NOTE: Federal subsections
1493
266.103(c)(1)(ii)(A)(1) and (c)(1)(ii)(A)(2) are condensed
1494
into subsection (c)(1)(B)(i).
1495
1496
ii) Total
hazardous waste feed (unless complying with the Tier
1497

1498
Section 726.206(b) or (e)); and
1499
1500
iii) Total
pumpable hazardous waste feed (unless complying
1501
with Tier I or Adjusted Tier I metals feed rate screening
1502
limits under Section 726.206(b) or (e));

JCAR350726-0805605r01
1635
1636
3) Compliance testing.
1637
1638
A) General.
Compliance testing must be conducted under conditions
1639
for which the owner or operator has submitted a certification of
1640
precompliance under subsection (b) of this Section and under
1641
conditions established in the notification of compliance testing
1642
required by subsection (c)(2) of this Section. The owner or
1643
operator may seek approval on a case-by-case basis to use
1644
compliance test data from one unit in lieu of testing a similar on-
1645
site unit. To support the request, the owner or operator must
1646
provide a comparison of the hazardous waste burned and other
1647
feedstreams, and the design, operation, and maintenance of both
1648
the tested unit and the similar unit. The Agency must provide a
1649
written approval to use compliance test data in lieu of testing a
1650
similar unit if the Agency finds that the hazardous wastes, devices
1651
and the operating conditions are sufficiently similar, and the data
1652
from the other compliance test is adequate to meet the
1653
requirements of this subsection (c).
1654
1655
B)
Special requirements for industrial furnaces that recycle collected
1656
PM. Owners and operators of industrial furnaces that recycle back
1657
into the furnace PM from the APCS must comply with one of the
1658
following procedures for testing to determine compliance with the
1659
metals standards of Section 726.206(c) or (d):
1660
1661
i) The
special testing requirements prescribed in "Alternative
1662
Method for Implementing Metals Controls" in Appendix I
1663
to this Part;
1664
1665
ii) Stack
emissions testing for a minimum of six hours each
1666
day while hazardous waste is burned during interim status.
1667
The testing must be conducted when burning normal
1668
hazardous waste for that day at normal feed rates for that
1669
day and when the APCS is operated under normal
1670
conditions. During interim status, hazardous waste analysis
1671
for metals content must be sufficient for the owner or
1672
operator to determine if changes in metals content affect
1673
the ability of the unit to meet the metals emissions
1674
standards established under Section 726.206(c) or (d).
1675
Under this option, operating limits (under subsection
1676
(c)(1)of this Section) must be established during
1677
compliance testing under this subsection (c)(3) only on the

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
1678
following parameters: feed rate of total hazardous waste;
1679
total feed rate of total chlorine and chloride in total feed
1680
streams; total feed rate of ash in total feed streams, except
1681
that the ash feed rate for cement kilns and light-weight
1682
aggregate kilns is not limited; CO concentration, and where
1683
required, HC concentration in stack gas; and maximum
1684
production rate of the device in appropriate units when
1685
producing normal product; or
1686
1687
iii) Conduct
compliance testing to determine compliance with
1688
the metals standards to establish limits on the operating
1689
parameters of subsection (c)(1) of this Section only after
1690
the kiln system has been conditioned to enable it to reach
1691
equilibrium with respect to metals fed into the system and
1692
metals emissions. During conditioning, hazardous waste
1693
and raw materials having the same metals content as will be
1694
fed during the compliance test must be fed at the feed rates
1695
that will be fed during the compliance test.
1696
1697
C) Conduct
of compliance testing.
1698
1699
i) If
compliance with all applicable emissions standards of
1700
Sections 726.204 through 726.207 is not demonstrated
1701
simultaneously during a set of test runs, the operating
1702
conditions of additional test runs required to demonstrate
1703
compliance with remaining emissions standards must be as
1704
close as possible to the original operating conditions.
1705
1706
ii) Prior
to obtaining test data for purposes of demonstrating
1707
compliance with the applicable emissions standards of
1708
Sections 726.204 through 726.207 or establishing limits on
1709
operating parameters under this Section, the facility must
1710
operate under compliance test conditions for a sufficient
1711
period to reach steady-state operations. Industrial furnaces
1712
that recycle collected PM back into the furnace and that
1713
comply with subsection (c)(3)(B)(i) or (c)(3)(B)(ii) of this
1714
Section, however, need not reach steady state conditions
1715
with respect to the flow of metals in the system prior to
1716
beginning compliance testing for metals.
1717
1718
iii) Compliance
test data on the level of an operating parameter
1719
for which a limit must be established in the certification of
1720
compliance must be obtained during emissions sampling

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
1721
for the pollutants (i.e., metals, PM, HC1/chlorine gas,
1722
organic compounds) for which the parameter must be
1723
established as specified by subsection (c)(1) of this Section.
1724
1725
4) Certification
of compliance. Within 90 days of completing compliance
1726
testing, the owner or operator must certify to the Agency compliance with
1727
the emissions standards of Sections 726.204(b), (c) and (e); 726.205;
1728
726.206; 726.207; and subsection (a)(5)(A)(iv) of this Section. The

1769
emissions limits for PM, metals, HC1, chlorine gas, and
1770
CO);
1771
1772
Summary of test results for each run and for each test
1773
including the following information: date of run; duration
1774
of run; time-weighted average and highest hourly rolling
1775
average CO level for each run and for the test; highest
1776
hourly rolling average HC level, if HC monitoring is
1777
required for each run and for the test; if dioxin and furan
1778
testing is required under Section 726.204(e), time-weighted
1779
average emissions for each run and for the test of
1780
chlorinated dioxin and furan emissions, and the predicted
1781
maximum annual average ground level concentration of the
1782
toxicity equivalency factor (defined in Section 726.200(i));

the test; time-weighted average HC1 and chlorine gas
1785
emissions for each run and for the test; time-weighted
1786
average emissions for the metals subject to regulation under
1787
Section 726.206 for each run and for the test; and QA/QC
1788
results.
1789
1790
C) Comparison
of the actual emissions during each test with the
1791
emissions limits prescribed by Sections 726.204(b), (c), and (e);
1792
726.205; 726.206; and 726.207 and established for the facility in
1793
the certification of precompliance under subsection (b) of this
1794
Section.
1795
1796
D) Determination
of operating limits based on all valid runs of the
1797
compliance test for each applicable parameter listed in subsection
1798
(c)(1) of this Section using one of the following procedures:
1799
1800
i) Instantaneous
limits. A parameter must be measured and
1801
recorded on an instantaneous basis (i.e., the value that
1802
occurs at any time) and the operating limit specified as the
1803
time-weighted average during all runs of the compliance
1804
test.
1805
1806
ii) Hourly
rolling average basis. The limit for a parameter

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
1807
must be established and continuously monitored on an
1808
hourly rolling average basis, as defined in Section
1809
726.200(i). The operating limit for the parameter must be
1810
established based on compliance test data as the average
1811
over all test runs of the highest hourly rolling average value
1812
for each run.
1813
1814
iii) Rolling
average limits for carcinogenic metals (as defined
1815
in Section 726.200(i)) and lead. Feed rate limits for the
1816
carcinogenic metals and lead must be established either on
1817
an hourly rolling average basis as prescribed by subsection
1818
(c)(4)(D)(ii) of this Section or on (up to) a 24 hour rolling
1819
average basis. If the owner or operator elects to use an
1820
averaging period from two to 24 hours the following must
1821
occur: the feed rate of each metal must be limited at any
1822
time to ten times the feed rate that would be allowed on a
1823
hourly rolling average basis; the operating limit for the feed
1824
rate of each metal must be established based on compliance
1825
test data as the average over all test runs of the highest
1826
hourly rolling average feed rate for each run; and the
1827
continuous monitor and the rolling average for the selected
1828
averaging period are as defined in Section 726.200(i).
1829
1830
BOARD NOTE: The Board has combined the text of 40
1831
C.F.R. 266.103(c)(4)(iv)(C)(1) and (c)(4)(iv)(C)(3) are
1832
condensed into
to comport with
1833
Illinois Administrative Code codification requirements.
1834
1835
iv) Feed
rate limits for metals, total chlorine and chloride, and
1836
ash. Feed rate limits for metals, total chlorine and chloride,
1837
and ash are established and monitored by knowing the
1838
concentration of the substance (i.e., metals,
1839
chloride/chlorine, and ash) in each feedstream and the flow
1840
rate of the feedstream. To monitor the feed rate of these
1841
substances, the flow rate of each feedstream must be
1842
monitored under the continuous monitoring requirements of
1843
subsections (c)(4)(D)(i) through (c)(4)(D)(iii) of this
1844
Section.
1845
1846
E) Certification
of compliance statement. The following statement
1847
must accompany the certification of compliance:
1848
1849
"I certify under penalty of law that this information was

1850
prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance
1851
with a system designed to ensure that qualified personnel
1852
properly gathered and evaluated the information and
1853
supporting documentation. Copies of all emissions tests,
1854
dispersion modeling results, and other information used to
1855
determine conformance with the requirements of 35 Ill.
1856
Adm. Code 726.203(c) are available at the facility and can
1857
be obtained from the facility contact person listed above.

1861
the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and
1862
complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties
1863
for submitting false information, including the possibility
1864
of fine and imprisonment for knowing violations.
1865
1866
I also acknowledge that the operating limits established
1867
pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 726.203(c)(4)(D) are
1868
enforceable limits at which the facility can legally operate
1869
during interim status until a revised certification of
1870
compliance is submitted."
1871
1872
5) Special
requirements for HC monitoring systems. When an owner or
1873
operator is required to comply with the HC controls provided by Section
1874
726.204(c) or subsection (a)(5)(A)(iv) of this Section, a conditioned gas
1875
monitoring system may be used in conformance with specifications

1920
any time a revised certification of compliance (recertification of
1921
compliance) under the following procedures:
1922
1923
A) Prior
to submittal of a revised certification of compliance,
1924
hazardous waste must not be burned for more than a total of 720
1925
hours under operating conditions that exceed those established
1926
under a current certification of compliance, and such burning must
1927
be conducted only for purposes of determining whether the facility
1928
can operate under revised conditions and continue to meet the
1929

1946
operating conditions, the applicable emissions standards of
1947
Sections 726.204, 726.205, 726.206, and 726.207 are not
1948
likely to be exceeded. To document this determination, the
1949
owner or operator must submit the applicable information
1950
required under subsection (b)(2) of this Section; and
1951
1952
iv) Complete
emissions testing protocol for any pretesting and
1953

1954
applicable emissions standards of Sections 726.204,
1955
726.205, 726.206, and 726.207 when operating under
1956
revised operating conditions. The protocol must include a
1957
schedule of pre-testing and compliance testing. If the
1958
owner or operator revises the scheduled date for the
1959
compliance test, the owner or operator must notify the
1960
Agency in writing at least 30 days prior to the revised date
1961
of the compliance test;
1962
1963
C) Conduct
a compliance test under the revised operating conditions
1964

1972
testing and submit to the Agency a recertification of compliance under provisions
1973
of subsection (c) of this Section within fivethfee years from submitting the
1974
previous certification or recertification. If the owner or operator seeks to recertify
1975
compliance under new operating conditions, the owner or operator must comply
1976
with the requirements of subsection (c)(8) of this Section.
1977
1978 e) Noncompliance with certification schedule. If the owner or operator does not

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
1979
comply with the interim status compliance schedule provided by subsections (b),
1980
(c), and (d) of this Section, hazardous waste burning must terminate on the date
1981
that the deadline is missed, closure activities must begin under subsection (1) of
1982
this Section, and hazardous waste burning must not resume except under an
1983
operating permit issued under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.232. For purposes of
1984
compliance with the closure provisions of subsection (1) of this Section and 35 Ill.
1985
Adm. Code 725.212(d)(2) and 725.213, the BIF has received "the known final
1986
volume of hazardous waste" on the date the deadline is missed.
1987
1988 f) Start-up
and shut-down. Hazardous waste (except waste fed solely as an
1989
ingredient under the Tier I (or adjusted Tier I) feed rate screening limits for metals
1990
and chloride/chlorine) must not be fed into the device during start-up and shut-
1991
down of the BIF, unless the device is operating within the conditions of operation
1992
specified in the certification of compliance.
1993
1994 g) Automatic
waste feed cutoff. During the compliance test required by subsection
1995
(c)(3) of this Section and upon certification of compliance under subsection (c) of
1996
this Section, a BIF must be operated with a functioning system that automatically
1997
cuts off the hazardous waste feed when the applicable operating conditions
1998
specified in subsections (c)(1)(A) and (c)(1)(E) through (c)(1)(M) of this Section
1999
deviate from those established in the certification of compliance. In addition, the
2000
following must occur:
2001
2002
1) To
minimize emissions of organic compounds, the minimum combustion
2003
chamber temperature (or the indicator of combustion chamber
2004
temperature) that occurred during the compliance test must be maintained
2005
while hazardous waste or hazardous waste residues remain in the
2006
combustion chamber, with the minimum temperature during the
2007
compliance test defined as either of the following:
2008
2009
A) If
compliance with the combustion chamber temperature limit is
2010
based on ana hourly rolling average, the minimum temperature
2011
during the compliance test is considered to be the average over all
2012
runs of the lowest hourly rolling average for each run; or
2013
2014
B) If
compliance with the combustion chamber temperature limit is
2015
based on an instantaneous temperature measurement, the minimum
2016
temperature during the compliance test is considered to be the
2017
time-weighted average temperature during all runs of the test; and
2018
2019
2) Operating
parameters limited by the certification of compliance must
2020
continue to be monitored during the cutoff, and the hazardous waste feed
2021
must not be restarted until the levels of those parameters comply with the

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
2022
limits established in the certification of compliance.
2023
2024 h) Fugitive
emissions. Fugitive emissions must be controlled as follows:
2025
2026
1) By
keeping the combustion zone totally sealed against fugitive emissions;
2027
or
2028
2029
2) By
maintaining the combustion zone pressure lower than atmospheric
2030
pressure; or
2031
2032
3) By
an alternative means of control that the owner or operator demonstrates
2033
provides fugitive emissions control equivalent to maintenance of
2034
combustion zone pressure lower than atmospheric pressure. Support for
2035
such demonstration must be included in the operating record.
2036
2037 i) Changes.
A BIF must cease burning hazardous waste when combustion
2038
properties, or feed rates of the hazardous waste, other fuels or industrial furnace
2039
feedstocks, or the BIF design or operating conditions deviate from the limits
2040
specified in the certification of compliance.
2041
2042
Monitoring and Inspections.
2043
2044
1) The
owner or operator must monitor and record the following, at a
2045
minimum, while burning hazardous waste:
2046
2047
A) Feed
rates and composition of hazardous waste, other fuels, and
2048
industrial furnace feed stocks and feed rates of ash, metals, and
2049
total chlorine and chloride as necessary to ensure conformance
2050
with the certification of precompliance or certification of
2051
compliance;
2052
2053
B) CO,
oxygen, and, if applicable, HC on a continuous basis at a
2054
common point in the BIF downstream of the combustion zone and
2055
prior to release of stack gases to the atmosphere in accordance with
2056
the operating limits specified in the certification of compliance.
2057
CO, HC, and oxygen monitors must be installed, operated, and
2058
maintained in accordance with methods specified in Appendix Ito
2059
this Part; and
2060
2061
C) Upon
the request of the Agency, sampling and analysis of the
2062
hazardous waste (and other fuels and industrial furnace feed stocks
2063
as appropriate) and the stack gas emissions must be conducted to
2064
verify that the operating conditions established in the certification

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
2065
of precompliance or certification of compliance achieve the
2066
applicable standards of Sections 726.204, 726.205, 726.206, and
2067
726.207.
2068
2069
2) The
BIF and associated equipment (pumps, valves, pipes, fuel storage
2070
tanks, etc.) must be subjected to thorough visual inspection when they
2071
contain hazardous waste, at least daily for leaks, spills, fugitive emissions,
2072
and signs of tampering.
2073
2074
3) The
automatic hazardous waste feed cutoff system and associated alarms
2075
must be tested at least once every seven days when hazardous waste is
2076
burned to verify operability, unless the owner or operator can demonstrate
2077
that weekly inspections will unduly restrict or upset operations and that
2078
less frequent inspections will be adequate. Support for such
2079
demonstration must be included in the operating record. At a minimum,
2080
operational testing must be conducted at least once every 30 days.
2081
2082
4) These
monitoring and inspection data must be recorded and the records
2083
must be placed in the operating log.
2084
2085 k) Recordkeeping.
The owner or operator must keep in the operating record of the
2086
facility all information and data required by this Section for five yearsuntil closure
2087
of the BIF unit.
2088
2089 1) Closure.
At closure, the owner or operator must remove all hazardous waste and
2090
hazardous waste residues (including, but not limited to, ash, scrubber waters and
2091
scrubber sludges) from the BIF and must comply with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725.211
2092
through 725.215.

2133
2134 b) An owner or operator meeting the requirements of Section 726.209(b) for the low
2135
risk waste exemption is exempt from the PM standard.
2136
2137 c) Oxygen
correction.
2138
2139
1) Measured
pollutant levels must be corrected for the amount of oxygen in
2140
the stack gas according to the following formula:
2141
P
x14
2142
p•
771
C
E–Y
2143
2144
2145
2146
2147
Where:
x
14/(E Y)
Pc = the corrected concentration of the pollutant in the stack gas
Pm = the measured concentration of the pollutant in the stack gas

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
E =
the oxygen concentration on a dry basis in the combustion
air fed to the device
Y =
the measured oxygen concentration on a dry basis in the
stack,
2148
2149
2) For
devices that feed normal combustion air, E will equal 21 percent. For
2150
devices that feed oxygen-enriched air for combustion (that is, air with an
2151
oxygen concentration exceeding 21 percent), the value of E will be the
2152
concentration of oxygen in the enriched air.
2153
2154
3) Compliance
with all emission standards provided by this Subpart H must
2155
be based on correcting to seven percent oxygen using this procedure.
2156
2157 d) For
the purposes of permit enforcement, compliance with the operating
2158
requirements specified in the permit (under Section 726.202) will be regarded as
2159
compliance with this Section. However, evidence that compliance with those
2160
permit conditions is insufficient to ensure compliance with the requirements of
2161
this Section is "information" justifying modification or revocation and re-issuance
2162
of a permit under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.270 through 703.273.

2166
Section 726.206 Standards to Control Metals Emissions
2167
2168 a) General. The owner or operator must comply with the metals standards provided
2169
by subsections (b), (c), (d), (e), or
(f)
of this Section for each metal listed in
2170
subsection (b) of this Section that is present in the hazardous waste at detectable
2171
levels using appropriate analytical methods.
2172
2173
BOARD NOTE: The federal regulations do not themselves define the phrase
2174
"appropriate analytical methods," but USEPA did include a definition in its
2175
preamble discussion accompanying the rule. The Board directs attention to the
2176
following segment (at 70 Fed. Reg. 34538, 34541 (June 14, 2005)) for the
2177
purposes of subsections (b)(1)(C) and (b)(1)(D) of this Section:
2178
2179
[T]wo primary considerations in selecting an appropriate method, which
2180
together serve as our general definition of an appropriate method [are the
2181
following] . . . :
2182
2183
1. Appropriate methods are reliable and accepted as such in the scientific
2184
community.
2185
2186
2. Appropriate methods generate effective data.

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
2187
2188
USEPA went on to further elaborate these two concepts and to specify other
2189
documents that might provide guidance.
2190
2191 b) Tier
I feed rate screening limits. Feed rate screening limits for metals are
2192
specified in Appendix A to this Part as a function of terrain-adjusted effective
2193
stack height (TESH) and terrain and land use in the vicinity of the facility.
2194
Criteria for facilities that are not eligible to comply with the screening limits are
2195
provided in subsection (b)(7) of this Section.
2196
2197
1) Noncarcinogenic
metals. The feed rates of the noncarcinogenic metals in
2198
all feed streams, including hazardous waste, fuels, and industrial furnace
2199
feed stocks must not exceed the screening limits specified in Appendix A
2200
to this Part.
2201
2202
A) The
feed rate screening limits for antimony, barium, mercury,
2203
thallium, and silver are based on either of the following:
2204
2205
i) An
hourly rolling average, as defined in Sections
2206
726.200(g) and 726.202(e)(6)(A)(ii); or
2207
2208
ii) An
instantaneous limit not to be exceeded at any time.
2209
2210
B) The
feed rate screening limit for lead is based on one of the
2211
following:
2212
2213
i) An
hourly rolling average, as defined in Sections
2214
726.200(g) and 726.202(e)(6)(A)(ii);
2215
2216
ii) An
averaging period of 2 to 24 hours, as defined in Section
2217
726.202(e)(6)(B) with an instantaneous feed rate limit not
2218
to exceed 10 times the feed rate that would be allowed on
2219
an hourly rolling average basis; or
2220
2221
iii) An
instantaneous limit not to be exceeded at any time.
2222
2223
2) Carcinogenic
metals.
2224
2225
A) The
feed rates of carcinogenic metals in all feed streams, including
2226
hazardous waste, fuels, and industrial furnace feed stocks must not
2227
exceed values derived from the screening limits specified in
2228
Appendix A to this Part. The feed rate of each of these metals is
2229
limited to a level such that the sum of the ratios of the actual feed

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
2230
rate to the feed rate screening limit specified in Appendix A to this
2231
Part must not exceed 1.0, as provided by the following equation:
2232
2233
iAl <1
0
Fi
2234
2235
Where:
2236
E A;/F; = the sum of the values of A/F for each metal "i," from
i = 1 to n
n
?
= number of carcinogenic metals
Ai =
the actual feed rate to the device for metal "i"
Fi =
the feed rate screening limit provided by Appendix A
to this Part for metal "i,"
2237
2238
B) The
feed rate screening limits for the carcinogenic metals are based
2239
on either:
2240
2241
i) An
hourly rolling average; or
2242
2243
ii) An
averaging period of two to 24 hours, as defined in
2244
Section 726.202(e)(6)(B), with an instantaneous feed rate
2245
limit not to exceed 10 times the feed rate that would be
2246
allowed on an hourly rolling average basis.
2247
2248
3) TESH
(terrain adjusted effective stack height).
2249
2250
A) The
TESH is determined according to the following equation:
2251
2252
TESH=H+P-T
2253
2254
Where:
2255
H = Actual physical stack height (m),
P = Plume rise (in m) as determined from Appendix F to this
Part as a function of stack flow rate and stack gas
exhaust temperature
T = Terrain rise (in m) within five kilometers of the stack,
2256
2257
B) The
stack height (H) must not exceed good engineering practice
2258
stack height, as defined in Section 726.200(i).
2259
2260
C) If
the TESH calculated pursuant to subsection (b)(3)(A) of this

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
2261
Section is not listed in Appendix A through Appendix C to this
2262
Part, the values for the nearest lower TESH listed in the table must
2263
be used. If the TESH is four meters or less, a value based on four
2264
meters must be used.
2265
2266
4) Terrain
type. The screening limits are a function of whether the facility is
2267
located in noncomplex or complex terrain. A device located where any
2268
part of the surrounding terrain within five kilometers of the stack equals or
2269
exceeds the elevation of the physical stack height (H) is considered to be
2270
in complex terrain and the screening limits for complex terrain apply.
2271
Terrain measurements are to be made from U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-
2272
minute topographic maps of the area surrounding the facility.
2273
2274
5) Land
use. The screening limits are a function of whether the facility is
2275
located in an area where the land use is urban or rural. To determine
2276
whether land use in the vicinity of the facility is urban or rural, procedures
2277
provided in Appendix I or Appendix J to this Part must be used.
2278
2279
6) Multiple
stacks. An owner or operator of a facility with more than one on-
2280
site stack from a BIF, incinerator, or other thermal treatment unit subject
2281
to controls of metals emissions under a RCRA permit or interim status
2282
controls must comply with the screening limits for all such units assuming
2283
all hazardous waste is fed into the device with the worst-case stack based
2284
on dispersion characteristics. The stack with the lowest value of K is the
2285
worst-case stack. K is determined from the following equation as applied
2286
to each stack:
2287
2288
K=HxVxT
2289
2290
Where:
2291
K
a parameter accounting for relative influence of
stack height and plume rise
H
physical stack height (meters)
3
stack gas flow rate (m3/sec
(cubic meters per
second)
T exhaust
temperature (degrees K),
2292
2293
7) Criteria
for facilities not eligible for screening limits. If any criteria below
2294
are met, the Tier I (and Tier II) screening limits do not apply. Owners and
2295
operators of such facilities must comply with either the Tier III standards
2296
provided by subsection (d) of this Section or with the adjusted Tier I feed
2297
rate screening limits provided by subsection (e) of this Section.

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
2298
2299
A) The
device is located in a narrow valley less than one kilometer
2300
wide;
2301
2302
B)
The device has a stack taller than 20 meters and is located such
2303
that the terrain rises to the physical height within one kilometer of
2304
the facility;
2305
2306
C) The
device has a stack taller than 20 meters and is located within
2307
five kilometers of a shoreline of a large body of water such as an
2308
ocean or large lake; or
2309
2310
D)
The physical stack height of any stack is less than 2.5 times the
2311
height of any building within five building heights or five
2312
projected building widths of the stack and the distance from the
2313
stack to the closest boundary is within five building heights or five
2314
projected building widths of the associated building.
2315
2316
8) Implementation.
The feed rate of metals in each feedstream must be
2317
monitored to ensure that the feed rate screening limits are not exceeded.
2318
2319 c) Tier
II emission rate screening limits. Emission rate screening limits are specified
2320
in Appendix A to this Part as a function of TESH and terrain and land use in the
2321
vicinity of the facility. Criteria for facilities that are not eligible to comply with
2322
the screening limits are provided in subsection (b)(7) of this Section.
2323
2324
1)
Noncarcinogenic metals. The emission rates of noncarcinogenic metals
2325
must not exceed the screening limits specified in Appendix A to this Part.
2326
2327
2) Carcinogenic
metals. The emission rates of carcinogenic metals must not
2328
exceed values derived from the screening limits specified in Appendix A
2329
to this Part. The emission rate of each of these metals is limited to a level
2330
such that the sum of the ratios of the actual emission rate to the emission
2331
rate screening limit specified in Appendix A to this Part must not exceed
2332
1.0, as provided by the following equation:
2333
2334
A.
i=, E
2335
2336
2337
Where:
E A,/E, = the sum of the values of A/E for each metal "i,"

Ei
=
number of carcinogenic metals
the actual emission rate to the device for metal
!!ii,
the emission rate screening limit provided by
Appendix A to this Part for metal ni,"
2338
2339
3) Implementation.
The emission rate limits must be implemented by
2340
limiting feed rates of the individual metals to levels during the trial burn
2341
(for new facilities or an interim status facility applying for a permit) or the
2342
compliance test (for interim status facilities). The feed rate averaging
2343
periods are the same as provided by subsections (b)(1)(A), (b)(1)(B), and
2344
(b)(2)(B) of this Section. The feed rate of metals in each feedstream must
2345
be monitored to ensure that the feed rate limits for the feedstreams
2346
specified under Sections 726.202 or 726.203 are not exceeded.
2347
2348
4) Definitions
and limitations. The definitions and limitations provided by
2349
subsection (b) of this Section and 726.200(g) for the following terms also
2350
apply to the Tier II emission rate screening limits provided by this
2351
subsection (c): TESH, good engineering practice stack height, terrain
2352
type, land use, and criteria for facilities not eligible to use the screening
2353
limits.
2354
2355
5) Multiple stacks.
2356
2357
A) An owner or operator of a facility with more than one on-site stack
2358
from a BIF, incinerator, or other thermal treatment unit subject to
2359
controls on metals emissions under a RCRA permit or interim
2360
status controls must comply with the emissions screening limits for
2361
any such stacks assuming all hazardous waste is fed into the device
2362
with the worst-case stack based on dispersion characteristics.
2363
2364
B)
?
The worst-case stack is deteimined by procedures provided in
2365
subsection (b)(6) of this Section.
2366
2367
C) For each metal, the total emissions of the metal from those stacks
2368
must not exceed the screening limit for the worst-case stack.
2369
2370
d)
?
Tier III site-specific risk assessment. The requirements of this subsection (d)
2371
apply to facilities complying with either the Tier III or Adjusted Tier
I
except
2372
where specified otherwise.
2373
2374
1) General. Conformance with the Tier
III
metals controls must be
2375
demonstrated by emissions testing to determine the emission rate for each

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
2376
metal. In addition, conformance with either Tier III or Adjusted Tier I
2377
metals controls must be demonstrated by air dispersion modeling to
2378
predict the maximum annual average off-site ground level concentration
2379
for each metal and a demonstration that acceptable ambient levels are not
2380
exceeded.
2381
2382
2) Acceptable
ambient levels. Appendix D and Appendix E to this Part list
2383
the acceptable ambient levels for purposes of this Subpart H. Reference
2384
air concentrations (RACs) are listed for the noncarcinogenic metals and
2385
1x10-5RSDs are listed for the carcinogenic metals. The RSD for a metal
2386
is the acceptable ambient level for that metal provided that only one of the
2387
four carcinogenic metals is emitted. If more than one carcinogenic metal
2388
is emitted, the acceptable ambient level for the carcinogenic metals is a
2389
fraction of the RSD, as described in subsection (d)(3) of this Section.
2390
2391
3) Carcinogenic
metals. For the carcinogenic metals the sum of the ratios of
2392
the predicted maximum annual average off-site ground level
2393
concentrations (except that on-site concentrations must be considered if a
2394
person resides on site) to the RSD for all carcinogenic metals emitted must
2395
not exceed 1.0 as determined by the following equation:
2396
2397
iP1
<1 0
2398
i=1
R

4) Noncarcinogenic
metals. For the noncarcinogenic metals, the predicted
2403
maximum annual average off-site ground level concentration for each
2404
metal must not exceed the RAC.
2405
2406
5) Multiple
stacks. Owners and operators of facilities with more than one
2407
on-site stack from a BIF, incinerator, or other thermal treatment unit
2408
subject to controls on metals emissions under a RCRA peimit or interim
2409
status controls must conduct emissions testing (except that facilities
2410
complying with Adjusted Tier I controls need not conduct emissions
2411
testing) and dispersion modeling to demonstrate that the aggregate
2412
emissions from all such on-site stacks do not result in an

JCAR350726-0805605r01
2413
exceedanceexceedence of the acceptable ambient levels.
2414
2415
6) Implementation.
Under Tier III, the metals controls must be implemented
2416
by limiting feed rates of the individual metals to levels during the trial
2417
burn (for new facilities or an interim status facility applying for a permit)
2418
or the compliance test (for interim status facilities). The feed rate
2419
averaging periods are the same as provided by subsections (b)(1)(A),
2420
(b)(1)(B), and (b)(2)(B) of this Section. The feed rate of metals in each
2421
feedstream must be monitored to ensure that the feed rate limits for the
2422
feedstreams specified under Sections 726.202 or 726.203 are not
2423
exceeded.
2424
2425 e) Adjusted
Tier I feed rate screening limits. The owner or operator may adjust the
2426
feed rate screening limits provided by Appendix A to this Part to account for site-
2427
specific dispersion modeling. Under this approach, the adjusted feed rate
2428
screening limit for a metal is determined by back-calculating from the acceptable
2429
ambient levels provided by Appendix D and Appendix E to this Part using
2430
dispersion modeling to determine the maximum allowable emission rate. This
2431
emission rate becomes the adjusted Tier I feed rate screening limit. The feed rate
2432
screening limits for carcinogenic metals are implemented as prescribed in
2433
subsection (b)(2) of this Section.
2434
2435
Alternative implementation approaches.
2436
2437
1) Pursuant
to subsection (f)(2) of this Section the Agency must approve on a
2438
case-by-case basis approaches to implement the Tier II or Tier III metals
2439
emission limits provided by subsection (c) or (d) of this Section alternative
2440
to monitoring the feed rate of metals in each feedstream.
2441
2442
2) The
emission limits provided by subsection (d) of this Section must be
2443
determined as follows:
2444
2445
A) For
each noncarcinogenic metal, by back-calculating from the
2446
RAC provided in Appendix D to this Part to determine the
2447
allowable emission rate for each metal using the dilution factor for
2448
the maximum annual average ground level concentration predicted
2449
by dispersion modeling in conformance with subsection (h) of this
2450
Section; and
2451
2452
B) For
each carcinogenic metal by the following methods:
2453
2454
i) By
back-calculating from the RSD provided in Appendix E
2455
to this Part to detellnine the allowable emission rate for

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
2456
each metal if that metal were the only carcinogenic metal
2457
emitted using the dilution factor for the maximum annual
2458
average ground level concentration predicted by dispersion
2459
modeling in confoimance with subsection (h) of this
2460
Section; and
2461
2462
ii) If
more than one carcinogenic metal is emitted, by selecting
2463
an emission limit for each carcinogenic metal not to exceed
2464
the emission rate determined by subsection (f)(2)(B)(i) of
2465
this Section, such that the sum for all carcinogenic metals
2466
of the ratios of the selected emission limit to the emission
2467
rate determined by that subsection does not exceed 1.0.
2468
2469
Emission testing.
2470
2471
1) General.
Emission testing for metals must be conducted using Method
2472
0060 (Determinations of Metals in Stack Emissions) in "Test Methods for
2473
Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods," USEPA
2474
publication number EPA-530/SW-846, incorporated by reference in 35 Ill.
2475
Adm. Code 720.111(a).
2476
2477
2) Hexavalent
chromium. Emissions of chromium are assumed to be
2478
hexavalent chromium unless the owner or operator conducts emissions
2479
testing to determine hexavalent chromium emissions using procedures
2480
prescribed in Method 0061 (Determination of Hexavalent Chromium
2481
Emissions from Stationary Sources) in "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid
2482
Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods," USEPA publication number EPA-
2483
530/SW-846, incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111(a).
2484
2485 h) Dispersion
modeling. Dispersion modeling required under this Section must be
2486
conducted according to methods recommended in federal appendix W to 40 CFR
2487
51 (Guideline on Air Quality Models), in section 5.0 (Hazardous Waste
2488
Combustion Air Quality Screening Procedure) in appendix IX to 40 CFR 266
2489
(Methods Manual for Compliance with the BIF Regulations), or in "Screening
2490
Procedures for Estimating the Air Quality Impact of Stationary Sources,
2491
Revised," USEPA publication number EPA-454/R-92-019, each incorporated by
2492
reference in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 720.111(b), to predict the maximum annual
2493
average off-site ground level concentration. However, on-site concentrations must
2494
be considered when a person resides on-site.
2495
2496 i) Enforcement. For the purposes of permit enforcement, compliance with the
2497
operating requirements specified in the permit (under Section 726.202) will be
2498
regarded as compliance with this Section. However, evidence that compliance

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
2499
with those permit conditions is insufficient to ensure compliance with the
2500
requirements of this Section is "information" justifying modification or revocation
2501
and re-issuance of a permit under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.270 through 703.273.

Section 726.207 Standards to Control HC1 and Chlorine Gas Emissions
2506
2507 a) General.
The owner or operator must comply with the HC1 and chlorine gas
2508
controls provided by subsection (b), (c), or (e) of this Section.
2509
2510 b) Screening
limits.
2511
2512
1) Tier
I feed rate screening limits. Feed rate screening limits are specified
2513
for total chlorine in Appendix B to this Part as a function of TESH and
2514
terrain and land use in the vicinity of the facility. The feed rate of total
2515
chlorine and chloride, both organic and inorganic, in all feed streams,
2516
including hazardous waste, fuels, and industrial furnace feed stocks must
2517
not exceed the levels specified.
2518
2519
2) Tier
II emission rate screening limits. Emission rate screening limits for
2520
HC1 and chlorine gas are specified in Appendix C to this Part as a function
2521
of TESH and terrain and land use in the vicinity of the facility. The stack
2522
emission rates of HC1 and chlorine gas must not exceed the levels
2523
specified.
2524
2525
3) Definitions
and limitations. The definitions and limitations provided by
2526
Sections 726.200(i) and 726.206(b) for the following terms also apply to
2527
the screening limits provided by this subsection: TESH, good engineering
2528
practice stack height, terrain type, land use, and criteria for facilities not
2529
eligible to use the screening limits.
2530
2531
4) Multiple
stacks. Owners and operators of facilities with more than one
2532
on-site stack from a BIF, incinerator or other thermal treatment unit
2533
subject to controls on HC1 or chlorine gas emissions under a RCRA permit
2534
or interim status controls must comply with the Tier I and Tier II
2535
screening limits for those stacks assuming all hazardous waste is fed into
2536
the device with the worst-case stack based on dispersion characteristics.
2537
2538
A) The
worst-case stack is determined by procedures provided in
2539
Section 726.206(b)(6).
2540
2541
B) Under
Tier I, the total feed rate of chlorine and chloride to all

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
2542
subject devices must not exceed the screening limit for the worst-
2543
case stack.
2544
2545
C) Under
Tier
II,
the total emissions of HC1 and chlorine gas from all
2546
subject stacks must not exceed the screening limit for the worst-
2547
case stack.
2548
2549 c) Tier
III site-specific risk assessments.
2550
2551
1)
?
General. Conformance with the Tier
III
controls must be demonstrated by
2552
emissions testing to determine the emission rate for HC1 and chlorine gas,
2553
air dispersion modeling to predict the maximum annual average off-site
2554
ground level concentration for each compound, and a demonstration that
2555
acceptable ambient levels are not exceeded.
2556
2557
2) Acceptable
ambient levels. Appendix
D
to this Part lists the RACs for
2558
HC1 (7 µg/m3)
and chlorine gas (0.4 µg/m3).
2559
2560
3) Multiple
stacks. Owners and operators of facilities with more than one
2561
on-site stack from a
BIF,
incinerator, or other thermal treatment unit
2562
subject to controls on HC1 or chlorine gas emissions under a RCRA permit
2563
or interim status controls must conduct emissions testing and dispersion
2564
modeling to demonstrate that the aggregate emissions from all such on-site
2565
stacks do not result in an exceedanceexcecdcncc of the acceptable ambient
2566
levels for HC1 and chlorine gas.
2567
2568
d)
?
Averaging periods. The HC1 and chlorine gas controls are implemented by
2569
limiting the feed rate of total chlorine and chloride in all feedstreams, including
2570
hazardous waste, fuels, and industrial furnace feed stocks. Under Tier I, the feed
2571
rate of total chlorine and chloride is limited to the Tier I Screening Limits. Under
2572
Tier II and Tier
III,
the feed rate of total chlorine and chloride is limited to the
2573
feed rates during the trial burn (for new facilities or an interim status facility
2574
applying for a permit) or the compliance test (for interim status facilities). The
2575
feed rate limits are based on either of the following:
2576
2577
1) An
hourly rolling average, as defined in Sections 726.200(i) and
2578
726.202(e)(6); or
2579
2580
2) An
instantaneous basis not to be exceeded at any time.
2581
2582 e) Adjusted
Tier I feed rate screening limits. The owner or operator may adjust the
2583
feed rate screening limit provided by Appendix B to this Part to account for site-
2584
specific dispersion modeling. Under this approach, the adjusted feed rate

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
2585
screening limit is determined by back-calculating from the acceptable ambient
2586
level for chlorine gas provided by Appendix D to this Part using dispersion
2587
modeling to determine the maximum allowable emission rate. This emission rate
2588
becomes the adjusted Tier I feed rate screening limit.
2589
2590 f) Emissions
testing. Emissions testing for HC1 and chlorine gas (C1
2) must be
2591
conducted using the procedures described in Method 0050 or 0051, in "Test
2592
Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods," USEPA
2593
publication number EPA-530/SW-846, incorporated by reference in 35 Ill. Adm.
2594
Code 720.111(a).
2595
2596
Dispersion modeling. Dispersion modeling must be conducted according to the
2597
provisions of Section 726.206(h).
2598
2599 h) Enforcement.
For the purposes of permit enforcement, compliance with the
2600
operating requirements specified in the peunit (under Section 726.202) will be
2601
regarded as compliance with this Section. However, evidence that compliance
2602
with those permit conditions is insufficient to ensure compliance with the
2603
requirements of this Section is "information" justifying modification or revocation
2604
and re-issuance of a permit under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.270 through 703.273.

Section 726.209 Low Risk Waste Exemption
2609
2610 a) Waiver of DRE standard. The DRE standard of Section 726.204(a) does not
2611
apply if the BIF is operated in conformance with subsection (a)(1) of this Section,
2612
and the owner or operator demonstrates by procedures prescribed in subsection
2613
(a)(2) of this Section, that the burning will not result in unacceptable adverse
2614
health effects.
2615
2616
1) The
device must be operated as follows:
2617
2618
A) A
minimum of 50 percent of fuel fired to the device must be fossil
2619
fuel, fuels derived from fossil fuel, tall oil, or, if approved by the
2620
Agency on a case-by-case basis, other nonhazardous fuel with
2621
combustion characteristics comparable to fossil fuel. Such fuels
2622
are termed "primary fuel" for purposes of this Section. (Tall oil is
2623
a fuel derived from vegetable and rosin fatty acids.) The 50
2624
percent primary fuel firing rate must be determined on a total heat
2625
or mass input basis, whichever results in the greater mass feed rate
2626
of primary fuel fired;
2627

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
2628
B) Primary
fuels and hazardous waste fuels must have a minimum as-
2629
fired heating value of 8,000 Btu/lb;
2630
2631
C) The
hazardous waste is fired directly into the primary fuel flame
2632
zone of the combustion chamber; and
2633
2634
D) The
device operates in conformance with the CO controls provided
2635
by Section 726.204(b)(1). Devices subject to the exemption
2636
provided by this Section are not eligible for the alternative CO
2637
controls provided by Section 726.204(c).
2638
2639
2) Procedures
to demonstrate that the hazardous waste burning will not pose
2640
unacceptable adverse public health effects are as follows:
2641
2642
A) Identify
and quantify those nonmetal compounds listed in
2643
Appendix H to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 721, that could reasonably be
2644
expected to be present in the hazardous waste. The constituents
2645
excluded from analysis must be identified and the basis for their
2646
exclusion explained;
2647
2648
B) Calculate
reasonable, worst case emission rates for each
2649
constituent identified in subsection (a)(2)(A) of this Section, by
2650
assuming the device achieves 99.9 percent destruction and removal
2651
efficiency. That is, assume that 0.1 percent of the mass weight of
2652
each constituent fed to the device is emitted.
2653
2654
C) For
each constituent identified in subsection (a)(2)(A) of this
2655
Section, use emissions dispersion modeling to predict the
2656
maximum annual average ground level concentration of the
2657
constituent.
2658
2659
i) Dispersion
modeling must be conducted using methods
2660
specified in Section 726.206(h).
2661
2662
ii) An
owner or operator of a facility with more than one on-
2663
site stack from a BIF that is exempt under this Section must
2664
conduct dispersion modeling of emissions from all stacks
2665
exempt under this Section to predict ambient levels
2666
prescribed by this subsection (a)(2).
2667
2668
D) Ground
level concentrations of constituents predicted under
2669
subsection (a)(2)(C) of this Section, must not exceed the following
2670
levels:

 
JCAR350726-0805605r01
2671
2672
i) For
the noncarcinogenic compounds listed in Appendix D,
2673
the levels established in Appendix D;
2674
2675
ii) For
the carcinogenic compounds listed in Appendix E:
2676
2677
A.
i_, Li
2678
2679
Where:
2680
E(Ai/Li) means-the
sum of the values of X for each
carcinogen i, from i = 1 to n,
means the
number of carcinogenic compounds;
Ai =
actualActual ground level concentration of
carcinogen "i,"
Li =
Level established in Appendix E for carcinogen
"i",; and
2681
2682
iii) For
constituents not listed in Appendix D or E, 0.1 µg/m3
.
2683
2684 b) Waiver
of particulateparticular matter standard. The PM standard of Section
2685
726.205 does not apply if the following occur:
2686
2687
1) The
DRE standard is waived under subsection (a) of this Section; and
2688
2689
2) The
owner or operator complies with the Tier I, or adjusted Tier I, metals
2690
feed rate screening limits provided by Section 726.206(b) or (e).
