Haw. Code R. § 11-270-22 - Specific Part B information requirements for boilers and industrial furnaces burning hazardous waste
(a) Trial burns.
(1) General. Except as provided below, owners
and operators that are subject to the standards to control organic emissions
provided by section 11-266-104, standards to control particulate matter
provided by section 11-266-105, standards to control metals emissions provided
by section 11-266-106, or standards to control hydrogen chloride or chlorine
gas emissions provided by section 11-266-107 must conduct a trial burn to
demonstrate conformance with those standards and must submit a trial burn plan
or the results of a trial burn, including all required determinations, in
accordance with section 11-270-66.
(i) A
trial burn to demonstrate conformance with a particular emission standard may
be waived under provisions of sections 11-266-104 through 11-266-107 and
paragraphs (a)(2) through (a)(5) of this section; and
(ii) The owner or operator may submit data in
lieu of a trial burn, as prescribed in paragraph (a)(6).
(2) Waiver of trial burn for DRE.
(i) Boilers operated under special operating
requirements. When seeking to be permitted under paragraph 11-266-104(a) (4)
and section 11-266-110 that automatically waive the DRE trial burn, the owner
or operator of a boiler must submit documentation that the boiler operates
under the special operating requirements provided by section
11-266-110.
(ii) Boilers and
industrial furnaces burning low risk waste. When seeking to be permitted under
the provisions for low risk waste provided by paragraph 11-266-104(a)(5) and
subsection 11-266-109(a) that waive the DRE trial burn, the owner or operator
must submit:
(A) Documentation that the
device is operated in conformance with the requirements of paragraph
11-266-109(a)(1).
(B) Results of
analyses of each waste to be burned, documenting the concentrations of nonmetal
compounds listed in appendix VIII of chapter 11-261, except for those
constituents that would reasonably not be expected to be in the waste. The
constituents excluded from analysis must be identified and the basis for their
exclusion explained. The analysis must rely on analytical techniques specified
in Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods
(incorporated by reference, see section 11-260-11).
(C) Documentation of hazardous waste firing
rates and calculations of reasonable, worst-case emission rates of each
constituent identified in clause (a)(2)(ii)(B) of this section using procedures
provided by subparagraph 11-266-109(a) (2) (ii).
(D) Results of emissions dispersion modeling
for emissions identified in clause (a)(2)(ii)(C) of this section using modeling
procedures prescribed by subsection 11-266-106(h). The director will review the
emission modeling conducted by the applicant to determine conformance with
these procedures. The director will either approve the modeling or determine
that alternate or supplementary modeling is appropriate.
(E) Documentation that the maximum annual
average ground level concentration of each constituent identified in clause
(a)(2)(ii)(B) of this section quantified in conformance with clause
(a)(2)(ii)(D) of this section does not exceed the allowable ambient level
established in appendices IV or V of chapter 11-266. The acceptable ambient
concentration for emitted constituents for which a specific Reference Air
Concentration has not been established in appendix IV or Risk-Specific Dose has
not been established in appendix V is 0.1 micrograms per cubic meter, as noted
in the footnote to appendix IV.
(3) Waiver of trial burn for metals. When
seeking to be permitted under the Tier I (or adjusted Tier I) metals feed rate
screening limits provided by subsections 11-266-106(b) and (e) that control
metals emissions without requiring a trial burn, the owner or operator must
submit:

that the facility does not fail the criteria provided by paragraph
11-266-106(b)(7) for eligibility to comply with the screening limits;
and
(vii) Proposed sampling and
metals analysis plan for the hazardous waste, other fuels, and industrial
furnace feed stocks.
(4)
Waiver of trial burn for particulate matter. When seeking to be permitted under
the low risk waste provisions of subsection 11-266-109(b) which waives the
particulate standard (and trial burn to demonstrate conformance with the
particulate standard), applicants must submit documentation supporting
conformance with subparagraph (a)(2)(ii) and paragraph (a)(3) of this
section.
(5) Waiver of trial burn
for HCl and Cl2. When seeking to be permitted under the
Tier I (or adjusted Tier I) feed rate screening limits for total chloride and
chlorine provided by paragraph 11-266-107(b) (1) and subsection 11-266-107(e)
that control emissions of hydrogen chloride (HCl) and chlorine gas
(Cl2) without requiring a trial burn, the owner or
operator must submit:
(i) Documentation of
the feed rate of hazardous waste, other fuels, and industrial furnace feed
stocks;
(ii) Documentation of the
levels of total chloride and chlorine in the hazardous waste, other fuels, and

(6) Data in lieu of trial burn. The owner or
operator may seek an exemption from the trial burn requirements to demonstrate
conformance with sections 11-266-104 through 11-266-107 and section 11-270-66 by providing the information required by section 11-270-66 from previous
compliance testing of the device in conformance with section 11-266-103, or
from compliance testing or trial or operational burns of similar boilers or
industrial furnaces burning similar hazardous wastes under similar conditions.
If data from a similar device is used to support a trial burn waiver, the
design and operating information required by section 11-270-66 must be provided
for both the similar device and the device to which the data is to be applied,
and a comparison of the design and operating information must be provided. The
director shall approve a permit application without a trial burn if he finds

sufficiently similar, the operating conditions are sufficiently similar, and
the data from other compliance tests, trial burns, or operational burns are
adequate to specify (under section 11-266-102) operating conditions that will
ensure conformance with subsection 11-266-102(c). In addition, the following
information shall be submitted:
(i) For a
waiver from any trial burn:
(A) A description
and analysis of the hazardous waste to be burned compared with the hazardous
waste for which data from compliance testing, or operational or trial burns are
provided to support the contention that a trial burn is not needed;
(B) The design and operating conditions of
the boiler or industrial furnace to be used, compared with that for which
comparative burn data are available; and
(C) Such supplemental information as the
director finds necessary to achieve the purposes of this subsection.
(ii) For a waiver of the DRE trial
burn, the basis for selection of POHCs used in the other trial or operational
burns which demonstrate compliance with the DRE performance standard in
subsection 11-266-104(a). This analysis should specify the constituents in
appendix VIII, chapter 11-261, that the applicant has identified in the
hazardous waste for which a permit is sought, and any differences from the
POHCs in the hazardous waste for which burn data are provided.
(b) Alternative HC
limit for industrial furnaces with organic matter in raw materials. Owners and
operators of industrial furnaces requesting an alternative HC limit under
subsection 11-266-104(f) shall submit the following information at a minimum:
(1) Documentation that the furnace is
designed and operated to minimize HC emissions from fuels and raw
materials;
(2) Documentation of the
proposed baseline flue gas HC (and CO) concentration, including data on HC (and
CO) levels during tests when the facility produced normal products under normal
operating conditions from normal raw materials while burning normal fuels and
when not burning hazardous waste;
(3) Test burn protocol to confirm the
baseline HC (and CO) level including information on the type and flow rate of
all feedstreams, point of introduction of all feedstreams, total organic carbon
content (or other appropriate measure of organic content) of all nonfuel
feedstreams, and operating conditions that affect combustion of fuel(s) and
destruction of hydrocarbon emissions from nonfuel sources;
(4) Trial burn plan to:
(i) Demonstrate that flue gas HC (and CO)
concentrations when burning hazardous waste do not exceed the baseline HC (and
CO) level; and
(ii) Identify the
types and concentrations of organic compounds listed in appendix VIII, chapter
11-261, that are emitted when burning hazardous waste in conformance with
procedures prescribed by the director;
(5) Implementation plan to monitor over time
changes in the operation of the facility that could reduce the baseline HC
level and procedures to periodically confirm the baseline HC level;
and
(6) Such other information as
the director finds necessary to achieve the purposes of this
subsection.
(c)
Alternative metals implementation approach. When seeking to be permitted under
an alternative metals implementation approach under subsection 11-266-106(f),
the owner or operator must submit documentation specifying how the approach
ensures compliance with the metals emissions standards of subsection
11-266-106(c) or (d) and how the approach can be effectively implemented and
monitored. Further, the owner or operator shall provide such other information
that the director finds necessary to achieve the purposes of this
subsection.
(d) Automatic waste
feed cutoff system. Owners and operators shall submit information describing
the automatic waste feed cutoff system, including any pre-alarm systems that
may be used.
(e) Direct transfer.
Owners and operators that use direct transfer operations to feed hazardous
waste from transport vehicles (containers, as defined in section 11-266-111)
directly to the boiler or industrial furnace shall submit information
supporting conformance with the standards for direct transfer provided by
section 11-266-111.
(f) Residues.
