Ohio Admin. Code 3745-50-62 - Trial burn
When an owner or operator of a hazardous waste incineration
unit becomes subject to hazardous waste permit requirements after February 16,
2009 or when an owner or operator of a hazardous waste incineration unit
demonstrates compliance with the air emission standards and limitations in 40
CFR Part 63 subpart EEE [i.e., by conducting a comprehensive performance test
and submitting a notification of compliance under
40 CFR
63.1207(j) and 40 CFR
63.1210(d) documenting compliance with all applicable requirements of 40 CFR
Part 63 subpart EEE], this rule does not apply, except those provisions the
director determines are necessary to ensure compliance with paragraphs (A) and
(C) of rule
3745-57-45
of the Administrative Code if the owner or operator elects to comply with
paragraph (A)(1)(a) of rule
3745-50-235
of the Administrative Code to minimize emissions of toxic compounds from
startup, shutdown, and malfunction events. Nevertheless, the director may apply
the provisions of this rule, on a case-by-case basis,
for purposes of
collection in
accordance with paragraphs (A)(5), (D)(6), (H), and (I)
to (I)(2) of rule
3745-50-40
of the Administrative Code and paragraphs (D)(3) (b) and (D)(4)(a)(v) of rule
3745-50-51
of the Administrative Code.
(A)
For the purposes of determining
To determine operational readiness
following
after completion of physical construction, the permit
for a new hazardous waste incinerator shall contain conditions including but
not limited to allowable waste feeds and operating conditions. These permit
conditions will be effective for the minimum time required to bring the
incinerator to a point of operational readiness to conduct a trial burn, not to
exceed seven hundred twenty hours operating time for treatment of hazardous
waste. This operational period may be extended once, for up to seven hundred
twenty additional hours, at the request of the applicant when good cause is
shown. The permit may be modified to reflect the extension according to rule
3745-50-51
of the Administrative Code.
