An incinerator burning hazardous waste must be designed,
constructed, and maintained so that, when operated in accordance with operating
requirements specified under section
11-264-345, it will meet the
following performance standards:
(a)
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (a)(2),
an incinerator burning hazardous waste must achieve a destruction and removal
efficiency (DRE) of 99.99% for each principal organic hazardous constituent
(POHC) designated (under section
11-264-342) in its permit for each waste
feed. DRE is determined for each POHC from the following equation:

where:
Wln=mass feed rate of one principal
organic hazardous constituent (POHC) in the waste stream feeding the
incinerator
and
Wout=mass emission rate of the same
POHC present in exhaust emissions prior to release to the atmosphere.
(2) An incinerator burning
hazardous wastes FO20, FO21, FO22, FO23, FO26, or FO27 must achieve a
destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of 99.9999% for each principal organic
hazardous constituent (POHC) designated (under section
11-264-342) in its
permit. This performance must be demonstrated on POHCs that are more difficult
to incinerate than tetra-, penta-, and hexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins and
dibenzofurans. DRE is determined for each POHC from the equation in paragraph
11-264-343(a)(1). In addition, the owner or operator of the incinerator must
notify the director of his intent to incinerate hazardous wastes FO20, FO21,
FO22, FO23, FO26, or FO27.
(b) An incinerator burning hazardous waste
and producing stack emissions of more than 1.8 kilograms per hour (4 pounds per
hour) of hydrogen chloride (HCl) must control HCl emissions such that the rate
of emission is no greater than the larger of either 1.8 kilograms per hour or
1% of the HCl in the stack gas prior to entering any pollution control
equipment.
(c) An incinerator
burning hazardous waste must not emit particulate matter in excess of 180
milligrams per dry standard cubic meter (0.08 grains per dry standard cubic
foot) when corrected for the amount of oxygen in the stack gas according to the
formula:

Where Pc is the corrected
concentration of particulate matter, Pm is the measured
concentration of particulate matter, and Y is the measured concentration of
oxygen in the stack gas, using the Orsat method for oxygen analysis of dry flue
gas, presented in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A (Method 3). This correction
procedure is to be used by all hazardous waste incinerators except those
operating under conditions of oxygen enrichment. For these facilities, the
director will select an appropriate correction procedure, to be specified in
the facility permit.
(d)
For purposes of permit enforcement, compliance with the operating requirements
specified in the permit (under section
11-264-345) will be regarded as
compliance with this section. However, evidence that compliance with those
permit conditions is insufficient to ensure compliance with the performance
requirements of this section may be ''information'' justifying modification,
revocation, or reissuance of a permit under section
11-270-41.
