§ 66270.62. Hazardous Waste Incinerator Permits.
(a) For the purposes of determining operational readiness following completion of physical construction, the Department shall establish permit conditions, including but not limited to allowable waste feeds and operating conditions, in the permit to a new hazardous waste incinerator. 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 720 hours operating time for treatment of hazardous waste. The Department may extend the duration of this operational period once, for up to 720 additional hours, at the request of the applicant when good cause is shown. The permit may be modified to reflect the extension according to section 66270.42 of this chapter.
(1) Applicants shall submit a statement, with Part B of the permit application, which suggests the conditions necessary to operate in compliance with the performance standards of section 66264.343 of this division during this period. This statement must include, at a minimum, restrictions on waste constituents, waste feed rates and the operating parameters identified in section 66264.345.
(b) For the purposes of determining feasibility of compliance with the performance standards of section 66264.343 of this division and of determining adequate operating conditions under section 66264.345 of this division, the Department shall establish conditions in the permit for a new hazardous waste incinerator to be effective during the trial burn.
3. an identification of any hazardous organic constituents listed in chapter 11, Appendix VIII of this division, which are present in the waste to be burned, except that the applicant need not analyze for constituents listed in chapter 11, Appendix VIII of this division which would reasonably not be expected to be found in the waste. The constituents excluded from analysis shall be identified, and the basis for the exclusion stated. The waste analysis shall rely on analytical techniques specified in “Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods”, EPA publication SW-846, Third Edition and updates (incorporated by reference in section 66260.11), or other equivalent;
4. an approximate quantification of the hazardous constituents identified in the waste, within the precision produced by the analytical methods specified in “Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods”, EPA publication SW-846, Third edition and updates (incorporated by reference in section 66260.11), or their equivalent;
(4) Based on the waste analysis data in the trial burn plan, the Department will specify as trial Principal Organic Hazardous Constituents (POHCs), those constituents for which destruction and removal efficiencies shall be calculated during the trial burn. These trial POHCs will be specified by the Department based on its estimate of the difficulty of incineration of the constituents identified in the waste analysis, their concentration or mass in the waste feed, and, for wastes listed in chapter 11, article 4, of this division, the hazardous waste organic constituent or constituents identified in Appendix VII of that chapter as the basis for listing.
(6) For facilities applying for a RCRA permit, the Director must send a notice to all persons on the facility mailing list as set forth in section 66271.9(c)(1)(D) and to the appropriate units of State and local government as set forth in section 66271.9(c)(1)(E) announcing the scheduled commencement and completion dates for the trial burn. The applicant may not commence the trial burn until after the Director has issued such notice.
(J) such other information as the Department may specify as necessary to ensure that the trial burn will determine compliance with the performance standards in section 66264.343 of this division and to establish the operating conditions required by section 66264.345 of this division as necessary to meet that performance standard.
(8) The applicant shall submit to the Department a certification that the trial burn has been carried out in accordance with the approved trial burn plan, and shall submit the results of all the determinations required in subsection (b)(6) of this section. This submission shall be made within 90 days of completion of the trial burn, or later if approved by the Department.
(c) For the purposes of allowing operation of a new hazardous waste incinerator following completion of the trial burn and prior to final modification of the permit conditions to reflect the trial burn results, the Department may establish permit conditions, including but not limited to allowable waste feeds and operating conditions sufficient to meet the requirements of section 66264.345 of this division, in the permit to a new hazardous waste incinerator. These permit conditions will be effective for the minimum time required to complete sample analysis, data computation and submission of the trial burn results by the applicant, and modification of the facility permit by the Department.
(1) Applicants shall submit a statement, with Part B of the permit application, which identifies the conditions necessary to operate in compliance with the performance standards of section 66264.343 of this division, during this period. This statement must include, at a minimum, restrictions on waste constituents, waste feed rates, and the operating parameters in section 66264.345 of this division.-
(2) The Department will review this statement and any other relevant information submitted with Part B of the permit application and specify those requirements for this period most likely to meet the performance standards of section 66264.343 of this division based on the Department's engineering judgment.
(d) For the purposes of determining feasibility of compliance with the performance standards of section 66264.343 of this division and of determining adequate operating conditions under section 66264.345 of this division, the applicant for a permit for an existing hazardous waste incinerator shall prepare and submit a trial burn plan and perform a trial burn in accordance with section 66270.19(b) and subsections (b)(2) through (b)(5) and (b)(7) through (b)(10) of this section or, instead, submit other information as specified in section 66270.19(c). Applicants submitting information under section 66270.19(a) are exempt from compliance with sections 66264.343 and 66264.345 and, therefore, are exempt from the requirement to conduct a trial burn. Applicants who submit trial burn plans and receive approval before submission of a permit application shall complete the trial burn and submit the results, specified in subsection (b)(7), with Part B of the permit application. If completion of this process conflicts with the date set for submission of the Part B application, the applicant shall contact the Department to establish a later date for submission of the Part B application or the trial burn results. Trial burn results shall be submitted prior to issuance of the permit. When the applicant submits a trial burn plan with Part B of the permit application, the Department shall specify a time period prior to permit issuance in which the trial burn shall be conducted and the results submitted.
(1) For facilities applying for RCRA permits, the Director shall announce his or her intention to approve the trial burn plan in accordance with the timing and distribution requirements of subsection (b)(6) of this section. The contents of the notice shall include: the name and telephone number of a contact person at the facility; the name and telephone number of a contact office at the Department; the location where the trial burn plan and any supporting documents can be reviewed and copied; and a schedule of the activities that are required prior to permit issuance, including the anticipated time schedule for Department approval of the plan and the time period during which the trial burn would be conducted.
