Haw. Code R. § 11-270-19 - Specific Part B information requirements for incinerators
Except as section 11-264-340 provides otherwise, owners and operators of facilities that incinerate hazardous waste must fulfill the requirements of subsection (a), (b), or (c) of this section.
(a) When seeking an exemption under
subsection 11-264-340(b) or (c) (Ignitable, corrosive, or reactive wastes
only):
(1) Documentation that the waste is
listed as a hazardous waste in chapter 11-261, subchapter D, solely because it
is 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 11-261, subchapter D, solely because it is
reactive (Hazard Code R) for characteristics other than those listed in
paragraphs 11-261-23(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 11-261, subchapter C; or
(4) Documentation that the waste is a
hazardous waste solely because it possesses the reactivity characteristics
listed in paragraph 11-261-23(a) (1), (2), (3), (6), (7), or (8), and that it
will not be burned when other hazardous wastes are present in the combustion
zone; or
(b) Submit a
trial burn plan or the results of a trial burn, including all required
determinations, in accordance with section 11-270-62; 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:
(i) Heat value of the waste in the form and
composition in which it will be burned.
(ii) Viscosity (if applicable), or
description of physical form of the waste.
(iii) An identification of any hazardous
organic constituents listed in chapter 11-261, Appendix VIII, which are present
in the waste to be burned, except that the applicant need not analyze for
constituents listed in chapter 11-261, Appendix VIII, which would reasonably
not be expected to be found in the waste. The constituents excluded from
analysis must be identified and the basis for their exclusion stated. The waste
analysis must rely on analytical techniques specified in "Test Methods for
Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods," EPA Publication SW-846, as
incorporated by reference in section 11-260-11 and section 11-270-6, or their
equivalent.
(iv) 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, as
incorporated by reference in section 11-260-11 and section 11-270-6.
(v) A quantification of those hazardous
constituents in the waste which may be designated as POHC's based on data
submitted from other trial or operational burns which demonstrate compliance
with the performance standards in section 11-264-343.
(2) A detailed engineering description of the
incinerator, including:
(i) Manufacturer's
name and model number of incinerator.
(ii) Type of incinerator.
(iii) Linear dimension of incinerator unit
including cross sectional area of combustion chamber.
(iv) Description of auxiliary fuel system
(type/feed).
(v) Capacity of prime
move.
(vi) Description of automatic
waste feed cutoff system(s).
(vii)
Stack gas monitoring and pollution control monitoring system.
(viii) Nozzle and burner design.
(ix) Construction materials.
(x) 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 should include those items listed in paragraph (c)(1). This analysis
should specify the POHC's which the applicant has identified in the waste for
which a permit is sought, and any differences from the POHC's 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:
(i) Sampling and analysis techniques used to
calculate performance standards in section 11-264-343.
(ii) 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).
(6) The expected incinerator operation
information to demonstrate compliance with sections 11-264-343 and 11-264-345 including:
(i) Expected carbon monoxide (CO)
level in the stack exhaust gas.
(ii) Waste feed rate.
(iii) Combustion zone temperature.
(iv) Indication of combustion gas
velocity.
(v) Expected stack gas
volume, flow rate, and temperature.
(vi) Computed residence time for waste in the
combustion zone.
(vii) Expected
hydrochloric acid removal efficiency.
(viii) Expected fugitive emissions and their
control procedures.
(ix) Proposed
waste feed cut-off limits based on the identified significant operating
parameters.
(7) Such
supplemental information as the director finds necessary to achieve the
purposes of this paragraph.
(8)
Waste analysis data, including that submitted in paragraph (c)(1), sufficient
to allow the director to specify as permit Principal Organic Hazardous
Constituents (permit POHC's) those constituents for which destruction and
removal efficiencies will be required.
(d) The director shall approve a permit
application without a trial burn if he 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 11-264-345) operating conditions that will ensure that
the performance standards in section 11-264-343 will be met by the
incinerator.
