Small Quantity on-site burner exemption.
(a) Exempt quantities. Owners and operators
of facilities that burn hazardous waste generated on-site in an on-site boiler
or industrial furnace are exempt from the requirements of 335-14-7-.08 provided
that:
1. The quantity of hazardous waste
burned in a device for a calendar month does not exceed the limits provided in
the following table based on the terrain adjusted effective stack height as
defined in §266.106 (b) (3) of

2.
The maximum hazardous waste firing rate does not exceed at any time one percent
of the total fuel requirements for the device (hazardous waste plus other fuel)
on a total heat input, or mass input basis, whichever results in the lower mass
feed rate of hazardous waste.
3.
The hazardous waste has a minimum heating value of 5, 000 Btu/lb, as generated;
and
4. The hazardous waste fuel
does not contain (and is not derived from) EPA Hazardous Waste Nos. F020, F021,
F022, F023, F026, or F027.
(b) Mixing with nonhazardous fuels. If
hazardous waste fuel is mixed with a nonhazardous fuel, the quantity of
hazardous waste before such mixing is used to comply with
335-14-7-.08(9)(a)
(c) Multiple
stacks. If an owner or operator burns hazardous waste in more than one on-site
boiler or industrial furnace exempt under 335-14-7-.08(9), the quantity limits
provided by 335-14-7-.08(9)(a) l. are implemented according to the following
equation:

where: n means the number of stacks;
Actual Quantity Burned means the waste quantity burned per
month in device "i";
Allowable Quantity Burned means the maximum allowable exempt
quantity for stack "i" from the table in 335-14-7-.08(9) (a) l.
Note: This exemption does not relieve the facility from the
necessity of obtaining appropriate Air Permits from the Department which would
authorize the use of alternate feed streams.
(d) Notification requirements. The owner or
operator of facilities qualifying for the small quantity burner exemption under
335-14-7-.08(9) must provide a one-time signed, written notice to EPA and ADEM
indicating the following:
1. The combustion
unit is operating as a small quantity burner of hazardous waste;
2. The owner and operator are in compliance
with the requirements of 335-14-7-.08(9); and
3. The maximum quantity of hazardous waste
that the facility may burn per month as provided by 335-14-7-.08(9) (a)
l.
(e) Recordkeeping
requirements. The owner or operator must maintain at the facility for at least
three years sufficient records documenting compliance with the hazardous waste
quantity, firing rate, and heating value limits of 335-14-7-.08(9) and any
other parameters deemed necessary by the Department. At a minimum, these
records must indicate the quantity of hazardous waste and other fuel burned in
each unit per calendar month, and the heating value of the hazardous
waste.
(f) Monitoring requirements.
1. The combustion device shall be operated in
conformance with the carbon monoxide controls provided by §266.104(b)(1)
and (b)(2). Devices subject to the exemption provided by 335-14-7-.08(9) are
not eligible for the alternative carbon monoxide controls provided by
§266.104(c).
2. Additional or
alternative monitoring techniques may be required on a case-by-case basis by
the Director.
(g)
Automatic waste feed cutoff. A boiler or industrial furnace must be operated
with a functioning system that automatically cuts off the hazardous waste feed
when operating conditions specified in 335-14-7-.08(9)(f) are
exceeded.
(h) Start-up and
shut-down. Hazardous waste must not be fed into the device during start-up and
shut-down of the boiler or industrial furnace unless the device is operating
within the conditions of operation specified in the Air Permit.

§266.109 Low risk waste exemption (as published
