(a) when seeking an
exemption under section
66264.340(b) or
(c) of this division (ignitable, corrosive,
or reactive wastes only):
(1) documentation
that the waste is listed as a hazardous waste in chapter 11, article 4 of this
division, solely because it is ignitable (Hazard Code I) or corrosive (Hazard
Code C) or both; or ignitable (Hazard Code I) or corrosive (Hazard Code C) or
both; or
(2) documentation that the
waste is listed as a hazardous waste in chapter 11, article 4 of this division,
solely because it is reactive (Hazard Code R) for characteristics other than
those listed in sections
66261.23(a)(4) and
(5), and will not be burned when other
hazardous wastes are present in the combustion zone; or
(3) documentation that the waste is a
hazardous waste solely because it possesses the characteristic of ignitability,
corrosivity, or both, as determined by the tests for characteristics of
hazardous waste under chapter 11, article 3 of this division; or
(4) documentation that the waste is a
hazardous waste solely because it possesses the reactivity characteristics
listed in section
66261.23(a)(1), (2), (3), (6), (7), or
(8) of this chapter and that it will not be
burned when other hazardous wastes are present in the combustion zone;
or
(c) in lieu of a trial burn, the applicant
may submit the following information:
(1) an
analysis of each waste or mixture of wastes to be burned including:
(A) heat value of the waste in the form and
composition in which it will be burned;
(B) viscosity (if applicable), or description
of physical form of the waste;
(C)
an identification of any hazardous organic constituents listed in chapter 11,
Appendix VIII, of this division, which are present in the waste to be burned,
except that the applicant need not analyze for constituents listed in chapter
11, Appendix VIII, of this division which would reasonably not be expected to
be found in the waste. The constituents excluded from analysis shall be
identified and the basis for their exclusion stated. The waste analysis shall
rely on analytical techniques specified in "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid
Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods", EPA publication SW-846, Third Edition and
Updates (incorporated by reference in section
66260.11), or their
equivalent;
(D) an approximate
quantification of the hazardous constituents identified in the waste, within
the precision produced by the analytical methods specified in "Test Methods for
Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods", EPA publication SW-846,
Third Edition and Updates (incorporated by reference in section
66260.11);
(E) a quantification of those hazardous
constituents in the waste which may be designated as POHCs based on data
submitted from other trial or operational burns which demonstrate compliance
with the performance standards in section
66264.343 of this
division;
(2) a detailed
engineering description of the incinerator,including:
(A) manufacturer's name and model number of
incinerator;
(B) type of
incinerator;
(C) linear dimension
of incinerator unit including cross sectional area of combustion
chamber;
(D) description of
auxiliary fuel system (type/feed);
(E) capacity of prime mover;
(F) description of automatic waste feed
cutoff system(s);
(G) stack gas
monitoring and pollution control monitoring system;
(H) nozzle and burner design;
(I) construction materials;
(J) location and description of temperature,
pressure, and flow indicating devices and control devices;
(3) a description and analysis of the waste
to be burned compared with the waste for which data from operational or trial
burns are provided to support the contention that a trial burn is not needed.
The data shall include those items listed in subsection (c)(1) of this section.
This analysis shall specify the POHCs which the applicant has identified in the
waste for which a permit is sought, and any differences from the POHCs in the
waste for which burn data are provided;
(4) the design and operating conditions of
the incinerator unit to be used, compared with that for which comparative burn
data are available;
(5) a
description of the results submitted from any previously conducted trial
burn(s) including:
(A) sampling and analysis
techniques used to calculate performance standards in section
66264.343 of this
division;
(B) methods and results
of monitoring temperatures, waste feed rates, carbon monoxide, and an
appropriate indicator of combustion gas velocity (including a statement
concerning the precision and accuracy of this measurement);
(C) the certification and results required by
section
66270.62(b)(7);
(6) the expected incinerator operation
information to demonstrate compliance with sections
66264.343 and
66264.345 of this division
including:
(A) expected carbon monoxide (CO)
and oxygen (O2) concentrations in the stack exhaust
gas;
(B) waste feed rate;
(C) combustion zone temperature;
(D) indication of combustion gas
velocity;
(E) expected stack gas
volume, flow rate, and temperature;
(F) computed residence time for waste in the
combustion zone;
(G) expected
hydrochloric acid removal efficiency;
(H) expected fugitive emissions and their
control procedures;
(I) proposed
waste feed cut-off limits based on the identified significant operating
parameters;
(7) such
supplemental information as the Department finds necessary to achieve the
purposes of this section;
(8) waste
analysis data, including that submitted in subsection (c)(1) of this section,
sufficient to allow the Department to specify as permit Principal Organic
Hazardous Constituents (permit POHCs) those constituents for which destruction
and removal efficiencies will be required.
(d) The Department shall approve a permit
application without a trial burn if it finds that:
(1) the wastes are sufficiently similar;
and
(2) the incinerator units are
sufficiently similar, and the data from other trial burns are adequate to
specify (under section
66264.345) operating conditions
that will ensure that the performance standards in section
66264.343 will be met by the
incinerator.
