11 Miss. Code. R. 2-1.13 - Provisions for Existing Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units
A. Emission
Standards. Provisions under this paragraph that apply to existing commercial
and industrial solid waste incineration (CISWI) units are the requirements that
are contained in
40
CFR 60.2575 through
60.2875.
All such requirements are hereby adopted by reference by the Commission as
official regulations of the State of Mississippi and shall hereafter be
enforceable as such.
B.
Applicability. The requirements of Rule 1.13 shall apply to each existing
commercial and industrial solid waste incineration unit that commenced
construction on or before November 30, 1999 and meets the following criteria:
(1) Commercial and industrial solid waste
incineration (CISWI) unit means any combustion device that combusts commercial
and industrial waste. The boundaries of a CISWI unit are defined as, but not
limited to, the commercial or industrial solid waste fuel feed system, grate
system, flue gas system, and bottom ash. The CISWI unit does not include air
pollution control equipment or the stack. The CISWI unit boundary starts at the
commercial and industrial solid waste hopper (if applicable) and extends
through two areas:
(a) the combustion unit
flue gas system, which ends immediately after the last combustion chamber
and
(b) the combustion unit bottom
ash system, which ends at the truck loading station or similar equipment that
transfers the ash to final disposal. It includes all ash handling systems
connected to the bottom ash handling system.
(2) Commercial and industrial waste means
solid waste combusted in an enclosed device using controlled flame combustion
without energy recovery that is a distinct operating unit of any commercial or
industrial facility (including field-erected, modular, and custom built
incineration units operating with starved or excess air), or solid waste
combusted in an air curtain incinerator without energy recovery that is a
distinct operating unit of any commercial or industrial facility.
(3) Solid waste means any garbage, refuse,
sludge from a waste treatment plant, water supply treatment plant, or air
pollution control facility and other discarded material, including solid,
liquid, semisolid, or contained gaseous material resulting from industrial,
commercial, mining, agricultural operations, and from community activities but
does not include solid or dissolved material in domestic sewage, or solid or
dissolved materials in irrigation return flows or industrial discharges which
are point sources subject to permits under Section 402 of the Federal Water
Pollution Control Act, as amended ( 42 U.S.C. 1342), or source, special
nuclear, or byproduct material as defined by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as
amended (
42
U.S.C. 2014) .
