(a) Exempt
quantities. Owners and operators of facilities that burn hazardous waste in an
on-site boiler or industrial furnace are exempt from the requirements of
Sections
R315-266-100 through
R315-266-112 except that:
(1) the quantity of hazardous waste burned in
a device for a calendar month does not exceed the limits provided in the
following table based on the terrain-adjusted effective stack height as defined
in Subsection
R315-266-106(b)(3):

(2)
the maximum hazardous waste firing rate does not exceed at any time 1% of the
total fuel requirements for the device, hazardous waste plus other fuel, on a
total heat input or mass input basis, whichever results in the lower mass feed
rate of hazardous waste;
(3) the
hazardous waste has a minimum heating value of 5,000 Btu/lb, as generated;
and
(4) the hazardous waste fuel
does not contain, and is not derived from, EPA Hazardous Waste Nos. F020, F021,
F022, F023, F026, or F027.
(b) Mixing with non-hazardous fuels. If
hazardous waste fuel is mixed with a non-hazardous fuel, the quantity of
hazardous waste before the mixing is used to comply with Subsection
R315-266-108(a).
(c) Multiple stacks. If an owner or operator
burns hazardous waste in more than one on-site boiler or industrial furnace
exempt under Section
R315-266-108, the quantity
limits provided by Subsection
R315-266-108(a)(1)
are implemented according to the following equation:
The summation of Actual Quantity Burned(i)/Allowable quantity
Burned(i) for i = 1 to n is less than or equal to 1.0
where:
n means the number of stacks;
Actual Quantity Burned means the waste quantity burned per
month in device "i";
Allowable Quantity Burned means the maximum allowable exempt
quantity for stack "i" from the table in Subsection
R315-266-108(a)(1).
(1) Hazardous wastes that are subject to the
conditions for exemption for very small quantity generators under Section
R315-262-14 may be burned in an
off-site device under the exemption provided by Section
R315-266-108, but shall be
included in the quantity determination for the exemption.
(d) Notification requirements. The owner or
operator of facilities qualifying for the small quantity burner exemption under
Section
R315-266-108 shall provide a
one-time signed, written notice to the director indicating the following:
(1) The combustion unit is operating as a
small quantity burner of hazardous waste;
(2) The owner and operator are in compliance
with the requirements of Section
R315-266-108; and
(3) The maximum quantity of hazardous waste
that the facility may burn per month as provided by Subsection
R315-266-108(a)(1).
(e) Recordkeeping requirements. The owner or
operator shall maintain at the facility for at least three years sufficient
records documenting compliance with the hazardous waste quantity, firing rate,
and heating value limits of Section
R315-266-108. At a minimum,
these records shall state the quantity of hazardous waste and other fuel burned
in each unit per calendar month, and the heating value of the hazardous
waste.
