(a) The
regulations of Sections R315-264-340 through 351 apply to owners and operators
of hazardous waste incinerators, as defined in Section
R315-260-10, except
as Section
R315-264-1
provides otherwise.
(b)
Integration of the MACT standards.
(1) Except
as provided by Subsections R315-264-340(b)(2) through (b)(4), the standards of
Rule R315-264 do not apply to a new hazardous waste incineration unit that
becomes subject to RCRA permit requirements after October 12, 2005; or no
longer apply when an owner or operator of an existing hazardous waste
incineration unit demonstrates compliance with the maximum achievable control
technology (MACT) requirements of Section
R307-214-2
by conducting a comprehensive performance test and submitting to the Director a
Notification of Compliance under Section R307-14-2 documenting compliance with
the requirements of Section R307-14-2. Nevertheless, even after this
demonstration of compliance with the MACT standards, RCRA permit conditions
that were based on the standards of Rule R315-264 shall continue to be in
effect until they are removed from the permit or the permit is terminated or
revoked, unless the permit expressly provides otherwise.
(2) The MACT standards do not replace the
closure requirements of Section
R315-264-351 or the
applicable requirements of Sections
R315-264-1
through 4, 10 though 19, 30 through 37, 50 through 56, 70 through 77, 90
through 101, 110 through 120, 140 through 151, 1050 through 1065 and 1080
through 1090.
(3) The particulate
matter standard of Subsection
R315-264-343(c)
remains in effect for incinerators that elect to comply with the alternative to
the particulate matter standard under Section
R307-214-2.
(4) The following requirements
remain in effect for startup, shutdown, and malfunction events if you elect to
comply with Subsection R35-270-235(a)(1)(i) to minimize emissions of toxic
compounds from these events:
(i) Subsection
R315-264-345(a)
requiring that an incinerator operate in accordance with operating requirements
specified in the permit; and
(ii)
Subsection
R315-264-345(c)
requiring compliance with the emission standards and operating requirements
during startup and shutdown if hazardous waste is in the combustion chamber,
except for particular hazardous wastes.
(c) After consideration of the waste analysis
included with part B of the permit application, the Director, in establishing
the permit conditions, shall exempt the applicant from all requirements of
Sections R315-264-340 through 351 except Section
R315-264-341,
Waste analysis, and Section
R315-264-351, Closure,
(1) If the Director finds that the waste to
be burned is:
(i) Listed as a hazardous waste
in Sections
R315-261-30
through 35 solely because it is ignitable, Hazard Code I, corrosive, Hazard
Code C, or both; or
(ii) Listed as
a hazardous waste in Sections
R315-261-30
through 35 solely because it is reactive, Hazard Code R, for characteristics
other than those listed in Subsections
R315-261-23(a)(4)
and (5), and will not be burned when other
hazardous wastes are present in the combustion zone; or
(iii) A hazardous waste solely because it
possesses the characteristic of ignitability, corrosivity, or both, as
determined by the test for characteristics of hazardous wastes under Sections
R315-261-20
through 24; or
(iv) A hazardous
waste solely because it possesses any of the reactivity characteristics
described by Subsections
R315-261-23(a)(1),
(2), (3), (6), (7), and (8), and will not be
burned when other hazardous wastes are present in the combustion zone; and
(2) If the waste
analysis shows that the waste contains none of the hazardous constituents
listed in Rule R315-261, appendix VIII, which would reasonably be expected to
be in the waste.
(d) If
the waste to be burned is one which is described by Subsections
R315-264-340(b)(1)(i), (ii), (iii), or (iv) and contains insignificant
concentrations of the hazardous constituents listed in Rule R315-261, appendix
VIII, then the Director may, in establishing permit conditions, exempt the
applicant from all requirements of Sections R315-264-340 through 351, except
Section
R315-264-341,
Waste analysis, and Section
R315-264-351, Closure,
after consideration of the waste analysis included with part B of the permit
application, unless the Director finds that the waste will pose a threat to
human health and the environment when burned in an incinerator.
(e) The owner or operator of an incinerator
may conduct trial burns subject only to the requirements of Section
R315-270-62,
Short term and incinerator permits.
