Sec.

§374-1.1 - General

(a) Applicability. This Subpart contains requirements for generators and transporters of the hazardous wastes identified in subparagraph 371.1(g) (1)(ii) of this Title and for owners and operators of facilities managing the hazardous wastes identified in subparagraphs 373-1.1(d)(1)(vii) and (viii) of this Title that are required to comply with this Subpart.

§374-1.2 - Reserved

§374-1.3 - Recyclable Materials Used in a Manner Constituting Disposal

(a) Applicability.

(1) The regulations of this section apply to recyclable materials that are applied to or placed on the land:

(i) without mixing with any other substance(s);

(ii) after mixing or combination with any other substance(s). These materials will be referred to throughout this Subpart as "materials used in a manner that constitutes disposal".

(2) Products produced for the general public's use that are used in a manner that constitutes disposal and that contain recyclable materials are not presently subject to regulation if the recyclable materials have undergone a chemical reaction in the course of producing the products so as to become inseparable by physical means and if such products meet the applicable treatment standards in section 376.4 of Part 376 (or applicable prohibition levels in subdivision 376.3(b) or RCRA section 3004(d), where no treatment standards have been established) for each recyclable material (i.e., hazardous waste constituent) that they contain. Commercial fertilizers that are produced for the general public's use that contain recyclable materials also are not presently subject to regulation provided they meet these same treatment standards or prohibition levels for each recyclable material that they contain. However, zinc-containing fertilizers using hazardous waste K061 that are produced for the general public's use are not presently subject to regulation.

(3) Anti-skid/deicing uses of slags, which are generated from high temperature metals recovery (HTMR) processing of hazardous waste K061, K062, and F006, in a manner constituting disposal are not covered by the exemption in paragraph (2) of this subdivision and remain subject to regulation.

(b) Standards applicable to generators and transporters of materials used in a manner that constitutes disposal. Generators and transporters of materials that are used in a manner that constitutes disposal are subject to the requirements of Part 372 of this Title.

(c) Standards applicable to storers of materials that are to be used in a manner that constitutes disposal who are not the ultimate users. Owners or operators of facilities that store recyclable materials that are to be used in a manner that constitutes disposal, but who are not the ultimate users of the materials, are regulated under all applicable provisions of sections 373-2.1 through 373-2.12, sections 373-3.1 through 373-3.12, and Subpart 373-1 of this Title.

(d) Standards applicable to users of materials that are used in a manner that constitutes disposal.

(1) Owners or operators of facilities that use recyclable materials in a manner that constitutes disposal are regulated under all applicable provisions of sections 373-2.1 through 373-2.14, sections 373-3.1 through 373-3.14, Subpart 373-1, and Part 376 of this Title. (These requirements do not apply to products which contain these recyclable materials under the provisions of paragraph 374-1.3(a)(2) of this Subpart.)

(2) The use of any material which is contaminated with dioxin or any other hazardous waste for dust suppression or road treatment is prohibited.

§374-1.4 - Reserved. (See Section 374-1.8)

In this section, the term "burn" means burning for energy recovery or destruction, or processing for materials recovery or as an ingredient. The emissions standards of subdivisions (e), (f), (g) and (h) of this section apply to facilities operating under interim status or under a Part 373 permit as specified in subdivisions (c) and (d) of this section.

(Note: Additional regulations governing construction and operation of incinerators for purposes of air pollution control are set forth in Parts 200, 201, 212, 219, 225, 227 and 257 of this Title.)

(2) The following hazardous wastes and facilities are not subject to regulation under this section:

(i) Used oil burned for energy recovery that is also a hazardous waste solely because it exhibits a characteristic of hazardous waste identified in section 371.3 of this Title. Such used oil is subject to regulation under Subpart 374-2 of this Title;

(ii) Gas recovered from hazardous or solid waste landfills when such gas is burned for energy recovery;

(iii) Hazardous wastes that are exempt from regulation under subdivision 371.1(e) and clauses 371.1(g)(1)(iii)('c') and ('d') of this Title, and hazardous wastes that are subject to the special requirements for conditionally exempt small quantity generators under paragraph 371.1(f) of this Title; and

(iv) Coke ovens, if the only hazardous waste burned is EPA Hazardous Waste No. K087, decanter tank tar sludge from coking operations.

(3) Owners and operators of smelting, melting, and refining furnaces (including pyrometallurgical devices such as cupolas, sintering machines, roasters, and foundry furnaces, but not including cement kilns, aggregate kilns, or halogen acid furnaces burning hazardous waste) that process hazardous waste solely for metal recovery are conditionally exempt from regulation under this section, except for subdivisions (b) and (m) of this section.

(i) To be exempt from subdivisions (c) through (l), of this section an owner or operator of a metal recovery furnace or mercury recovery furnace must comply with the following requirements, except that an owner or operator of a lead or a nickel-chromium recovery furnace, or a metal recovery furnace that burns baghouse bags used to capture metallic dusts emitted by steel manufacturing, must comply with the requirements of subparagraph (iii) of this paragraph:

('a') Provide a one-time written notice to the Commissioner indicating the following:

('1') The owner or operator claims exemption under this paragraph;

('2') The hazardous waste is burned solely for metal recovery consistent with the provisions of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph;

('3') The hazardous waste contains recoverable levels of metals; and

('4') The owner or operator will comply with the sampling and analysis and recordkeeping requirements of this subparagraph;

('b') Sample and analyze the hazardous waste and other feedstocks as necessary to comply with the requirements of this paragraph under procedures specified by "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods" (EPA Publication No. SW-846 (see subdivision 370.1(e) of this Title)) or alternative methods that meet or exceed the SW-846 method performance capabilities. If SW-846 does not prescribe a method for a particular determination, the owner or operator shall use the best available method; and

('c') Maintain at the facility for at least three years records to document compliance with the provisions of this paragraph including limits on levels of toxic organic constituents and Btu value of the waste, and levels of recoverable metals in the hazardous waste compared to normal nonhazardous waste feedstocks.

(ii) A hazardous waste meeting either of the following criteria is not processed solely for metal recovery:

('a') The hazardous waste has a total concentration of organic compounds listed in Appendix 23 of this Title (see Part 371) exceeding 500 ppm by weight, as-fired, and so is considered to be burned for destruction. The concentration of organic compounds in a waste as-generated may be reduced to the 500 ppm limit by bona fide treatment that removes or destroys organic constituents. Blending for dilution to meet the 500 ppm limit is prohibited. Documentation that the waste has not been impermissibly diluted must be retained in the records required by clause (i)('c') of this paragraph; or

('b') The hazardous waste has a heating value of 5,000 Btu/lb or more, as-fired, and so is considered to be burned as fuel. The heating value of a waste as-generated may be reduced to below the 5,000 Btu/lb limit by bona fide treatment that removes or destroys organic constituents. Blending for dilution to meet the 5,000 Btu/lb limit is prohibited. Documentation that the waste has not been impermissibly diluted must be retained in the records required by clause (i)('c') of this paragraph.

(iii) To be exempt from subdivisions (c) through (l), an owner or operator of a lead or nickel-chromium or mercury recovery furnace, or a metal recovery furnace that burns baghouse bags used to capture metallic dusts emitted by steel manufacturing, must provide a one-time written notice to the Commissioner identifying each hazardous waste burned and specifying whether the owner or operator claims an exemption for each waste under this subparagraph or subparagraph (i) of this paragraph. The owner or operator must comply with the requirements of subparagraph (i) of this paragraph for those wastes claimed to be exempt under that subparagraph and must comply with the requirements below for those wastes claimed to be exempt under this subparagraph.

('a') The hazardous wastes listed in Appendices 51, 52 and 53 of this Title and baghouse bags used to capture metallic dusts emitted by steel manufacturing are exempt from the requirements of subparagraph (i) of this paragraph, provided that:

('1') A waste listed in Appendix 51 of this Title must contain recoverable levels of lead. A waste listed in Appendix 52 of this Title must contain recoverable levels of nickel or chromium, a waste listed in Appendix 53 of this Title must contain recoverable levels of mercury and contain less than 500 parts per million of Appendix 23 organic constituents, and baghouse bags used to capture metallic dusts emitted by steel manufacturing must contain recoverable levels of metal; and

('2') The waste does not exhibit the Toxicity Characteristic of subdivision 371.3(e) of this Title for an organic constituent; and

('3') The waste is not a hazardous waste listed in section 371.4 of this Title because it is listed for an organic constituent, as identified in Appendix 22 of this Title (see Part 371); and

('4') The owner or operator certifies in the one-time notice that hazardous waste is burned under the provisions of subparagraph (iii) of this paragraph and that sampling and analysis will be conducted or other information will be obtained as necessary to ensure continued compliance with these requirements. Sampling and analysis shall be conducted according to clause (i)('b') of this paragraph. Records to document compliance with subparagraph (iii) of this paragraph shall be kept for at least three years.

('b') The Commissioner may decide, on a case-by-case basis, that the toxic organic constituents in a material listed in Appendix 51, 52 or 53 of this Title that contains a total concentration of more than 500 ppm toxic organic compounds, listed in Appendix 23 of this Title (see Part 371), may pose a hazard to human health and the environment when burned in a metal recovery furnace exempt from the requirements of this section. In that situation, after adequate notice and opportunity for comment, the metal recovery furnace will become subject to the requirements of this section when burning that material. In making the hazard determination, the Commissioner will consider the following factors:

('1') The concentration and toxicity of organic constituents in the material; and

('2') The level of destruction of toxic organic constituents provided by the furnace; and

('3') Whether the acceptable ambient levels established in Appendices 44 or 45 of this Title may be exceeded for any toxic organic compound that may be emitted, based on dispersion modeling to predict the maximum annual average off-site ground level concentration.

(4) The standards for direct transfer operations under subdivision (l) of this section, apply only to facilities subject to the permit standards of subdivision (c) of this section, or the interim status standards of subdivision (d) of this section.

(5) The management standards for residues under subdivision (m) of this section apply to any boiler or industrial furnace burning hazardous waste.

(6) Owners and operators of smelting, melting, and refining furnaces (including pyrometallurgical devices such as cupolas, sintering machines, roasters, and foundry furnaces) that process hazardous waste for recovery of economically significant amounts of the precious metals gold, silver, platinum, paladium, irridium, osmium, rhodium, or ruthenium, or any combination of these, are conditionally exempt from regulation under this section, except for subdivision (m) of this section. To be exempt from subdivision (b) through (l) of this section, an owner or operator must:

(i) Provide a one-time written notice to the Commissioner indicating the following:

('a') The owner or operator claims exemption under this paragraph;

('b') The hazardous waste is burned for legitimate recovery of precious metal; and

('c') The owner or operator will comply with the sampling and analysis and recordkeeping requirements of this paragraph; and

(ii) Sample and analyze the hazardous waste as necessary to document that the waste is burned for recovery of economically significant amounts of precious metal using procedures specified by "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods" (EPA Publication No. SW-846 (see subdivision 370.1(e) of this Title)) or alternative methods that meet or exceed the SW-846 method performance capabilities. If SW-846 does not prescribe a method for a particular determination, the owner or operator shall use the best available method; and

(iii) Maintain at the facility for at least three years records to document that all hazardous wastes burned are burned for recovery of economically significant amounts of precious metal.

(b) Management prior to burning.

(1) Generators. Generators of hazardous waste that is burned in a boiler or industrial furnace are subject to section 372.2 of this Title.

(2) Transporters. Transporters of hazardous waste that is burned in a boiler or industrial furnace are subject to section 372.3 of this Title.

('i') section 373-2.28 (Air Emission Standards for Equipment Leaks), except paragraph (a)(1).

(2) Hazardous waste analysis.

(i) The owner or operator must provide an analysis of the hazardous waste that quantifies the concentration of any constituent identified in Appendix 23 of this Title (see Part 371) that may reasonably be expected to be in the waste. Such constituents must be identified and quantified, if present, at levels detectable by analytical procedures prescribed by "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods" (EPA Publication No. SW-846 (see subdivision 370.1(e) of this Title)). Alternative methods that meet or exceed the method performance capabilities of SW-846 methods may be used. If SW-846 does not prescribe a method for a particular determination, the owner or operator shall use the best available method. The Appendix 23 of this Title constituents excluded from this analysis must be identified and the basis for their exclusion explained. This analysis will be used to provide all information required by this section and subdivisions 373-1.5(i) and 373-1.9(d) of this Title and to enable the permit writer to prescribe such permit conditions as necessary to protect human health and the environment. Such analysis must be included as a portion of the Part 373 permit application, or, for facilities operating under the interim status standards of this section, as a portion of the trial burn plan that may be submitted before the Part 373 permit application under provisions of paragraph 373-1.9(d)(7) of this Title, as well as any other analysis required by the permit authority in preparing the permit. Owners and operators of boilers and industrial furnaces not operating under the interim status standards must provide the information required by subdivision 373-1.5(i) or paragraph 373-1.9(d)(3) of this Title in the Part 373 permit application to the greatest extent possible.

(ii) Throughout normal operation, the owner or operator must conduct sampling and analysis, as necessary, to ensure that the hazardous waste, other fuels, and industrial furnace feedstocks fired into the boiler or industrial furnace are within the physical and chemical composition limits specified in the permit.

(3) Emissions standards. Owners and operators must comply with emissions standards provided by subdivisions (e) through (h) of this section.

(4) Permits.

(i) The owner or operator may burn only hazardous wastes specified in the facility permit and only under the operating conditions specified under paragraph (5) of this subdivision, except in approved trial burns under the conditions specified in subdivision 373-1.9(d) of this Title.

(ii) Hazardous wastes not specified in the permit may not be burned until operating conditions have been specified under a new permit or permit modification, as applicable. Operating requirements for new wastes may be based on either trial burn results or alternative data included with the Part 373 permit application under subdivision 373-1.5(i) of this Title.

(iii) Boilers and industrial furnaces operating under the interim status standards of subdivision (d) of this section are permitted under procedures provided by paragraph 373-1.9(d)(7) of this Title.

(iv) A permit for a new boiler or industrial furnace (those boilers and industrial furnaces not operating under the interim status standards) must establish appropriate conditions for each of the applicable requirements of this subdivision, including, but not limited to, allowable hazardous waste firing rates and operating conditions necessary to meet the requirements of paragraph (5) of this subdivision, in order to comply with the following standards:

('a') For the period beginning with initial introduction of hazardous waste and ending with initiation of the trial burn, and only for the minimum time required to bring the device to a point of operational readiness to conduct a trial burn, not to exceed a duration of 720 hours operating time when burning hazardous waste, the operating requirements must be those most likely to ensure compliance with the emission standards of subdivisions (e) through (h) of this section, based on the Commissioner's engineering judgment. If the applicant is seeking a waiver from a trial burn to demonstrate conformance with a particular emission standard, the operating requirements during this initial period of operation shall include those specified by the applicable provisions of subdivisions (e), (f), (g), or (h) of this section. The Commissioner may extend the duration of this period for up to 720 additional hours when the applicant demonstrates good cause for the extension.

('b') For the duration of the trial burn, the operating requirements must be sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the emissions standards of subdivisions (e) through (h) of this section and must be in accordance with the approved trial burn plan;

('c') For the period immediately following completion of the trial burn, and only for the minimum period sufficient to allow sample analysis, data computation, submission of the trial burn results by the applicant, review of the trial burn results and modification of the facility permit by the Commissioner to reflect the trial burn results, the operating requirements must be those most likely to ensure compliance with the emission standards of subdivisions (e) through (h) of this section based on the Commissioner's engineering judgment.

('d') For the remaining duration of the permit, the operating requirements must be those demonstrated in a trial burn or by alternative data specified in subdivision 373-1.5(i) of this Title, as sufficient to ensure compliance with the emissions standards of subdivisions (e) through (h) of this section.

(5) Operating requirements.

(i) General. A boiler or industrial furnace burning hazardous waste must be operated in accordance with the operating requirements specified in the permit at all times where there is hazardous waste in the unit.

(ii) Requirements to ensure compliance with the organic emissions standards.

('a') DRE standard. Operating conditions will be specified either on a case-by-case basis for each hazardous waste burned as those demonstrated (in a trial burn or by alternative data as specified in subdivision 373-1.5(i) of this Title) to be sufficient to comply with the destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) performance standard of paragraph (e)(1) of this section, or as those special operating requirements provided by subparagraph (e)(1)(iv) of this section for the waiver of the DRE trial burn. When the DRE trial burn is not waived under subparagraph (e)(1)(iv) of this section, each set of operating requirements will specify the composition of the hazardous waste (including acceptable variations in the physical and chemical properties of the hazardous waste which will not affect compliance with the DRE performance standard) to which the operating requirements apply. For each such hazardous waste, the permit will specify acceptable operating limits, including, but not limited to, the following conditions, as appropriate:

('1') Feed rate of hazardous waste and other fuels measured and specified as prescribed in subparagraph (vi) of this paragraph;

('2') Minimum and maximum device production rate when producing normal product expressed in appropriate units, measured and specified as prescribed in subparagraph (vi) of this paragraph;

('3') Appropriate controls of the hazardous waste firing system;

('4') Allowable variation in boiler and industrial furnace system design or operating procedures;

('5') Minimum combustion gas temperature measured at a location indicative of combustion chamber temperature, measured and specified as prescribed in subparagraph (vi) of this paragraph;

('6') An appropriate indicator of combustion gas velocity, measured and specified as prescribed in subparagraph (vi) of this paragraph, unless documentation is provided under subdivision 373-1.9(d) of this Title demonstrating adequate combustion gas residence time; and

('7') Such other operating requirements as are necessary to ensure that the DRE performance standard of paragraph (e)(1) of this section is met.

('b') Carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon standards. The permit must incorporate a carbon monoxide (CO) limit and, as appropriate, a hydrocarbon (HC) limit as provided by paragraphs (e)(2), (e)(3), (e)(4), (e)(5) and (e)(6) of this section. The permit limits will be specified as follows:

('1') When complying with the CO standard of subparagraph (e)(2)(i) of this section, the permit limit is 100 ppmv;

('2') When complying with the alternative CO standard under paragraph (e)(3) of this section, the permit limit for CO is based on the trial burn and is established as the average over all valid runs of the highest hourly rolling average CO level of each run, and the permit limit for HC is 20 ppmv (as defined in subparagraph (e)(3)(i) of this section, except as provided in paragraph (e)(6) of this section.

('3') When complying with the alternative HC limit for industrial furnaces under paragraph (e)(6) of this section, the permit limit for HC and CO is the baseline level when hazardous waste is not burned as specified by that paragraph.

('c') Start-up and shut-down. During start-up and shut-down of the boiler or industrial furnace, hazardous waste (except waste fed solely as an ingredient under the Tier I (or adjusted Tier I) feed rate screening limits for metals and chloride/chlorine, and except low risk waste exempt from the trial burn requirements under subparagraph (e)(1)(v) and subdivisions (f), (g) and (h) of this section) must not be fed into the device unless the device is operating within the conditions of operation specified in the permit.

(vi) Measuring parameters and establishing limits based on trial burn data.

('a') General requirements. As specified in subparagraphs (ii) through (v) of this paragraph, each operating parameter shall be measured, and permit limits on the parameter shall be established, according to either of the following procedures:

('1') Instantaneous limits. A parameter may be measured and recorded on an instantaneous basis (i.e., the value that occurs at any time) and the permit limit specified as the time-weighted average during all valid runs of the trial burn; or

('2') Hourly rolling average.

('i') The limit for a parameter may be established and continuously monitored on an hourly rolling average basis defined as follows:

('A') A continuous monitor is one which continuously samples the regulated parameter without interruption, and evaluates the detector response at least once each 15 seconds, and computes and records the average value at least every 60 seconds.

('B') An hourly rolling average is the arithmetic mean of the 60 most recent 1-minute average values recorded by the continuous monitoring system.

('ii') The permit limit for the parameter shall be established based on trial burn data as the average over all valid test runs of the highest hourly rolling average value for each run.

('b') Rolling average limits for carcinogenic metals and lead. Feed rate limits for the carcinogenic metals (i.e., arsenic, beryllium, cadmium and chromium) and lead may be established either on an hourly rolling average basis as prescribed by clause ('a') of this subparagraph or on (up to) a 24 hour rolling average basis. If the owner or operator elects to use an average period from 2 to 24 hours:

('1') The feed rate of each metal shall be limited at any time to ten times the feed rate that would be allowed on an hourly rolling average basis;

('2') The continuous monitor shall meet the following specifications:

('i') A continuous monitor is one which continuously samples the regulated parameter without interruption, and evaluates the detector response at least once each 15 seconds, and computes and records the average value at least every 60 seconds.

('ii') The rolling average for the selected averaging period is defined as the arithmetic mean of one hour block averages for the averaging period. A one hour block average is the arithmetic mean of the one minute averages recorded during the 60-minute period beginning at one minute after the beginning of preceding clock hour; and

('3') The permit limit for the feed rate of each metal shall be established based on trial burn data as the average over all valid test runs of the highest hourly rolling average feed rate for each run.

('c') Feed rate limits for metals, total chloride and chlorine, and ash. Feed rate limits for metals, total chlorine and chloride, and ash are established and monitored by knowing the concentration of the substance (i.e., metals, chloride/chlorine, and ash) in each feedstream and the flow rate of the feedstream. To monitor the feed rate of these substances, the flow rate of each feedstream must be monitored under the continuous monitoring requirements of clauses ('a') and ('b') of this subparagraph.

('d') Conduct of trial burn testing.

('1') If compliance with all applicable emissions standards of subdivisions (e) through (h) of this section is not demonstrated simultaneously during a set of test runs, the operating conditions of additional test runs required to demonstrate compliance with remaining emissions standards must be as close as possible to the original operating conditions.

('2') Prior to obtaining test data for purposes of demonstrating compliance with the emissions standards of subdivisions (e) through (h) of this section or establishing limits on operating parameters under this Subpart, the facility must operate under trial burn conditions for a sufficient period to reach steady-state operations. The Commissioner may determine, however, that industrial furnaces that recycle collected particulate matter back into the furnace and that comply with an alternative implementation approach for metals under paragraph (g)(6) of this section need not reach steady state conditions with respect to the flow of metals in the system prior to beginning compliance testing for metals emissions.

('3') Trial burn data on the level of an operating parameter for which a limit must be established in the permit must be obtained during emissions sampling for the pollutant(s) (i.e., metals, PM, HCl/Cl2, organic compounds) for which the parameter must be established as specified by this paragraph of this subdivision.

(vii) General requirements.

('a') Fugitive emissions. Fugitive emissions must be controlled by:

('1') Keeping the combustion zone totally sealed against fugitive emissions; or

('2') Maintaining the combustion zone pressure lower than atmospheric pressure; or

('3') An alternate means of control demonstrated (with the Part 373 permit application) to provide fugitive emissions control equivalent to maintenance of combustion zone pressure lower than atmospheric pressure.

('b') Automatic waste feed cutoff. A boiler or industrial furnace must be operated with a functioning system that automatically cuts off the hazardous waste feed when operating conditions deviate from those established under this subdivision. The Commissioner may limit the number of cutoffs per an operating period on a case-by-case basis. In addition:

('1') The permit limit for (the indicator of) minimum combustion chamber temperature must be maintained while hazardous waste or hazardous waste residues remain in the combustion chamber,

('2') Exhaust gases must be ducted to the air pollution control system operated in accordance with the permit requirements while hazardous waste or hazardous waste residues remain in the combustion chamber; and

('3') Operating parameters for which permit limits are established must continue to be monitored during the cutoff, and the hazardous waste feed shall not be restarted until the levels of those parameters comply with the permit limits. For parameters that may be monitored on an instantaneous basis, the Commissioner will establish a minimum period of time after a waste feed cutoff during which the parameter must not exceed the permit limit before the hazardous waste feed may be restarted.

('c') Changes. A boiler or industrial furnace must cease burning hazardous waste when changes in combustion properties, or feed rates of the hazardous waste, other fuels, or industrial furnace feedstocks, or changes in the boiler or industrial furnace design or operating conditions deviate from the limits as specified in the permit.

(viii) Monitoring and Inspections.

('a') The owner or operator must monitor and record the following, at a minimum, while burning hazardous waste:

('1') If specified by the permit, feed rates and composition of hazardous waste, other fuels, and industrial furnace feedstocks, and feed rates of ash, metals, and total chloride and chlorine;

('2') If specified by the permit, carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and oxygen on a continuous basis at a common point in the boiler or industrial furnace downstream of the combustion zone and prior to release of stack gases to the atmosphere in accordance with operating requirements specified in clause (ii)('b') of this paragraph. CO, HC, and oxygen monitors must be installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with methods specified in Appendix 49 of this Title.

('3') Upon the request of the Commissioner, sampling and analysis of the hazardous waste (and other fuels and industrial furnace feedstocks as appropriate), residues, and exhaust emissions must be conducted to verify that the operating requirements established in the permit achieve the applicable standards of subdivisions (e), (f), (g) and (h) of this section.

('b') All monitors shall record data in units corresponding to the permit limit unless otherwise specified in the permit.

('c') The boiler or industrial furnace and associated equipment (pumps, valves, pipes, fuel storage tanks, etc.) must be subjected to thorough visual inspection when it contains hazardous waste, at least daily for leaks, spills, fugitive emissions, and signs of tampering.

('d') The automatic hazardous waste feed cutoff system and associated alarms must be tested at least once every seven days when hazardous waste is burned to verify operability, unless the applicant demonstrates to the Commissioner that weekly inspections will unduly restrict or upset operations, and that less frequent inspections will be adequate. At a minimum, operational testing must be conducted at least once every 30 days.

('e') These monitoring and inspection data must be recorded and the records must be placed in the operating record required by subdivision 373-2.5(c) of this Title.

(ix) Direct transfer to the burner. If hazardous waste is directly transferred from a transport vehicle to a boiler or industrial furnace without the use of a storage unit, the owner and operator must comply with subdivision (l) of this section.

(x) Recordkeeping. The owner or operator must keep in the operating record of the facility all information and data required by this subdivision until closure of the facility.

(xi) Closure. At closure, the owner or operator must remove all hazardous waste and hazardous waste residues (including, but not limited to, ash, scrubber waters, and scrubber sludges) from the boiler or industrial furnace.

(d) Interim status standards for burners.

(1) Purpose, scope, applicability.

(i) General.

('a') The purpose of this subdivision is to establish minimum national standards for owners and operators of "existing" boilers and industrial furnaces that burn hazardous waste where such standards define the acceptable management of hazardous waste during the period of interim status. The standards of this subdivision apply to owners and operators of existing facilities until either a Part 373 permit is issued, which includes the standards and requirements of paragraph (c)(4) of this section, or until closure responsibilities identified in this subdivision are fulfilled.

('b') "Existing" or "in existence" means a boiler or industrial furnace that, on or before August 21, 1991, is either in operation burning or processing hazardous waste, or for which construction (including the ancillary facilities to burn or to process the hazardous waste) has commenced. A facility has commenced construction if the owner or operator has obtained the Federal, State, and local approvals or permits necessary to begin physical construction; and either:

('1') A continuous on-site, physical construction program has begun; or

('2') The owner or operator has entered into contractual obligations-which cannot be canceled or modified without substantial loss-for physical construction of the facility to be completed within a reasonable time.

('c') If a boiler or industrial furnace is located at a facility that already has a permit or interim status, then the facility must comply with the applicable regulations dealing with permit modifications in section 373-1.7 of this Title or changes in interim status in subdivision 373-1.3(g) of this Title.

(ii) Exemptions. The requirements of this subdivision do not apply to hazardous waste and facilities exempt under paragraph (a)(2), or subdivision (i) of this section.

(iii) Prohibition on burning dioxin-listed wastes. The following hazardous wastes listed for dioxin and hazardous waste derived from any of these wastes may not be burned in a boiler or industrial furnace operating under interim status: F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, and F027.

(iv) Applicability of Subpart 373-3 of this Title standards. Owners and operators of boilers and industrial furnaces that burn hazardous waste and are operating under interim status are subject to the following provisions of Subpart 373-3 of this Title, except as provided otherwise by this subdivision:

('a') In section 373-3.1 (General), subdivision (b);

('b') In section 373-3.2 (General facility standards), subdivisions (b) through (h);

('c') In section 373-3.3 (Preparedness and Prevention), subdivisions (b) through (g);

('d') In section 373-3.4 (Contingency Plan and Emergency Procedures), subdivisions (b) through (g);

('e') In section 373-3.5 (Manifest System, Recordkeeping, and Reporting), subdivisions (b) through (g), except that subdivisions (b) and (f) do not apply to owners and operators of on-site facilities that do not receive any hazardous waste from off-site sources;

('f') In section 373-3.7 (Closure and Post-Closure), subdivisions (b) through (f);

('g') In section 373-3.8 (Financial Requirements), subdivisions (b), (c), (d), (h) and (i), except that States and the Federal government are exempt from the requirements of section 373-3.8; and

('h') section 373-3.28 (Air Emission Standards for Equipment Leaks), except paragraph (a)(1).

(v) Special requirements for furnaces. The following controls apply during interim status to industrial furnaces (e.g., kilns, cupolas) that feed hazardous waste for a purpose other than solely as an ingredient (see clause ('b') of this subparagraph) at any location other than the hot end where products are normally discharged or where fuels are normally fired:

('a') Controls.

('1') The hazardous waste shall be fed at a location where combustion gas temperatures are at least 1800 degrees F;

('2') The owner or operator must determine that adequate oxygen is present in combustion gases to combust organic constituents in the waste and retain documentation of such determination in the facility record;

('3') For cement kiln systems, the hazardous waste shall be fed into the kiln; and

('4') The hydrocarbon controls of paragraph (e)(3) of this section or subparagraph (3)(v) of this subdivision apply upon certification of compliance under paragraph (3) of this subdivision irrespective of the CO level achieved during the compliance test.

('b') Burning hazardous waste solely as an ingredient. A hazardous waste is burned for a purpose other than solely as an ingredient if it meets either of these criteria:

('1') The hazardous waste has a total concentration of nonmetal compounds listed in Appendix 23 of this Title (see Part 371) exceeding 500 ppm by weight, as-fired, and so is considered to be burned for destruction. The concentration of nonmetal compounds in a waste as-generated may be reduced to the 500 ppm limit by bona fide treatment that removes or destroys nonmetal constituents. Blending for dilution to meet the 500 ppm limit is prohibited. Documentation that the waste has not been impermissibly diluted must be retained in the facility record; or

('2') The hazardous waste has a heating value of 5,000 Btu/lb or more, as-fired, and so is considered to be burned as fuel. The heating value of a waste as-generated may be reduced to below the 5,000 Btu/lb limit by bona fide treatment that removes or destroys organic constituents. Blending to augment the heating value to meet the 5,000 Btu/lb limit is prohibited. Documentation that the waste has not been impermissibly blended must be retained in the facility record.

(vi) Restrictions on burning hazardous waste that is not a fuel. Prior to certification of compliance under paragraph (3) of this subdivision, owners and operators shall not feed, to a boiler or industrial furnace, hazardous waste that has a heating value less than 5,000 Btu/lb, as-generated, (except that the heating value of a waste as-generated may be increased above the 5,000 Btu/lb limit by bona fide treatment; however, blending to augment the heating value to meet the 5,000 Btu/lb limit is prohibited. Records must be kept to document that impermissible blending has not occurred), except that:

('a') Hazardous waste may be burned solely as an ingredient; or

('b') Hazardous waste may be burned for purposes of compliance testing (or testing prior to compliance testing) for a total period of time not to exceed 720 hours; or

('c') Such waste may be burned if the Commissioner has documentation to show that, prior to August 21, 1991:

('1') The boiler or industrial furnace is operating under the interim status standards for incinerators provided by section 373-3.15 of this Title, or the interim status standards for thermal treatment units provided by section 373-3.16 this Title; and

('2') The boiler or industrial furnace met the interim status eligibility requirements under subdivision 373-1.3(c) of this Title for sections 373-3.15 or 373-3.16 of this Title; and

('3') Hazardous waste with a heating value less than 5,000 Btu/lb was burned prior to that date; or

('d') Such waste may be burned in a halogen acid furnace if the waste was burned as an excluded ingredient under paragraph 371.1(c)(6) of this Title prior to February 21, 1991 and documentation is kept on file supporting this claim.

(vii) Direct transfer to the burner. If hazardous waste is directly transferred from a transport vehicle to a boiler or industrial furnace without the use of a storage unit, the owner and operator must comply with subdivision (l) of this section.

(2) Certification of precompliance.

(i) General. The owner or operator must have provided complete and accurate information, specified in subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph, to the EPA Administrator on or before August 21, 1991, and must have established limits for the operating parameters specified in subparagraph (iii) of this paragraph. Such information is termed a "certification of precompliance" and constitutes a certification that the owner or operator has determined that, when the facility is operated within the limits specified in subparagraph (iii) of this paragraph, the owner or operator believes that, using best engineering judgment, emissions of particulate matter, metals, and HCl and Cl2 are not likely to exceed the limits provided by subdivisions (f), (g) and (h) of this section. The facility may burn hazardous waste only under the operating conditions that the owner or operator establishes under subparagraph (iii) of this paragraph until the owner or operator submits a revised certification of precompliance under subparagraph (viii) of this paragraph or a certification of compliance under paragraph (3) of this subdivision, or until a permit is issued.

(ii) Information required. The following information must be submitted with the certification of precompliance to support the determination that the limits established for the operating parameters identified in subparagraph (iii) of this paragraph are not likely to result in an exceedance of the allowable emission rates for particulate matter, metals, and HCl and Cl2:

('c') Information on the testing planned, including a complete copy of the test protocol and Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) plan, and a summary description for each test providing the following information, at a minimum:

('1') Purpose of the test (e.g., demonstrate compliance with emissions of particulate matter); and

('2') Planned operating conditions, including levels for each pertinent parameter specified in subparagraph (i) of this paragraph.

(iii) Compliance testing.

('a') General. Compliance testing must be conducted under conditions for which the owner or operator has submitted a certification of precompliance under paragraph (2) of this subdivision and under conditions established in the notification of compliance testing required by subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph. The owner or operator may seek approval on a case-by-case basis to use compliance test data from one unit in lieu of testing a similar onsite unit. To support the request, the owner or operator must provide a comparison of the hazardous waste burned and other feedstreams, and the design, operation, and maintenance of both the tested unit and the similar unit. The Commissioner shall provide a written approval to use compliance test data in lieu of testing a similar unit if the Commissioner finds that the hazardous wastes, the devices, and the operating conditions are sufficiently similar, and the data from the other compliance test is adequate to meet the requirements of this paragraph.

('b') Special requirements for industrial furnaces that recycle collected PM. Owners and operators of industrial furnaces that recycle back into the furnace particulate matter (PM) from the air pollution control system must comply with one of the following procedures for testing to determine compliance with the metals standards of paragraphs (g)(3) or (g)(4) of this section:

('1') The special testing requirements prescribed in "Alternative Method for Implementing Metals Controls" in Appendix 49 of this Title; or

('2') Stack emissions testing for a minimum of 6 hours each day while hazardous waste is burned during interim status. The testing must be conducted when burning normal hazardous waste for that day at normal feed rates for that day and when the air pollution control system is operated under normal conditions. During interim status, hazardous waste analysis for metals content must be sufficient for the owner or operator to determine if changes in metals content may affect the ability of the facility to meet the metals emissions standards established under paragraphs (g)(3) or (g)(4) of this section. Under this option, operating limits (under subparagraph (i) of this paragraph) must be established during compliance testing under subparagraph (d)(3)(iii) of this section only on the following parameters;

('i') Feed rate of total hazardous waste;

('ii') Total feed rate of chlorine and chloride in total feed streams;

('iii') Total feed rate of ash in total feed streams, except that the ash feed rate for cement kilns and light-weight aggregate kilns is not limited;

('iv') Carbon monoxide concentration, and where required, hydrocarbon concentration in stack gas;

('v') Maximum production rate of the device in appropriate units when producing normal product; or

('3') Conduct compliance testing to determine compliance with the metals standards to establish limits on the operating parameters of subparagraph (i) of this paragraph only after the kiln system has been conditioned to enable it to reach equilibrium with respect to metals fed into the system and metals emissions. During conditioning, hazardous waste and raw materials having the same metals content as will be fed during the compliance test must be fed at the feed rates that will be fed during the compliance test.

('c') Conduct of compliance testing.

('1') If compliance with all applicable emissions standards of subdivisions (e) through (h) of this section is not demonstrated simultaneously during a set of test runs, the operating conditions of additional test runs required to demonstrate compliance with remaining emissions standards must be as close as possible to the original operating conditions.

('2') Prior to obtaining test data for purposes of demonstrating compliance with the applicable emissions standards of subdivisions (e) through (h) of this section or establishing limits on operating parameters under this subdivision, the facility must operate under compliance test conditions for a sufficient period to reach steady-state operations. Industrial furnaces that recycle collected particulate matter back into the furnace and that comply with subclauses ('b')('1') or ('b')('2') of this subparagraph, however, need not reach steady state conditions with respect to the flow of metals in the system prior to beginning compliance testing for metals.

('3') Compliance test data on the level of an operating parameter, for which a limit must be established in the certification of compliance, must be obtained during emissions sampling for the pollutant(s) (i.e., metals, PM, HCl/Cl2, organic compounds) for which the parameter must be established as specified by subparagraph (i) of this paragraph.

(iv) Certification of compliance. Within 90 days of completing compliance testing, the owner or operator must certify to the Commissioner compliance with the emissions standards of paragraphs (e)(2), (e)(3), and (e)(5) and subdivisions (f), (g) and (h) of this section and subclause (1)(v)('a')('4') of this subdivision. The certification of compliance must include the following information:

('a') General facility and testing information including:

('1') EPA facility ID number;

('2') Facility name, contact person, telephone number, and address;

('3') Person responsible for conducting compliance testing, including company name, address, and telephone number, and a statement of qualifications;

('4') Date(s) of each compliance test;

('5') Description of boiler or industrial furnace tested;

('6') Person responsible for quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC), title, and telephone number, and statement that procedures prescribed in the QA/QC plan submitted under 6 NYCRR Part 374-1.8(d)(3)(ii)('c') have been followed, or a description of any changes and an explanation of why changes were necessary.

('7') Description of any changes in the unit configuration prior to or during testing that would alter any of the information submitted in the prior notice of compliance testing under subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph, and an explanation of why the changes were necessary;

('8') Description of any changes in the planned test conditions prior to or during the testing that alter any of the information submitted in the prior notice of compliance testing under subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph, and an explanation of why the changes were necessary; and

('9') The complete report on results of emissions testing.

('b') Specific information on each test, including:

('1') Purpose(s) of test (e.g., demonstrate conformance with the emissions limits for particulate matter, metals, HCl, Cl2, and CO)

('2') Summary of test results for each run and for each test including the following information:

('i') Date of run;

('ii') Duration of run;

('iii') Time-weighted average and highest hourly rolling average CO level for each run and for the test;

('iv') Highest hourly rolling average HC level, if HC monitoring is required for each run and for the test;

('v') If dioxin and furan testing is required under paragraph (e)(5) of this section, time-weighted average emissions for each run and for the test of chlorinated dioxin and furan emissions, and the predicted maximum annual average ground level concentration of the toxicity equivalency factor;

('vi') Time-weighted average particulate matter emissions for each run and for the test;

('vii') Time-weighted average HCl and Cl2 emissions for each run and for the test;

('viii') Time-weighted average emissions for the metals subject to regulation under subdivision (g) of this section for each run and for the test; and

('ix') QA/QC results.

('c') Comparison of the actual emissions during each test with the emissions limits prescribed by paragraphs (e)(2), (e)(3) and (e)(5) and subdivisions (f), (g) and (h) of this section and established for the facility in the certification of precompliance under paragraph (2) of this subdivision.

('d') Determination of operating limits based on all valid runs of the compliance test for each applicable parameter listed in subparagraph (i) of this paragraph using either of the following procedures:

('1') Instantaneous limits. A parameter may be measured and recorded on an instantaneous basis (i.e., the value that occurs at any time) and the operating limit specified as the time-weighted average during all runs of the compliance test; or

('2') Hourly rolling average basis.

('i') The limit for a parameter may be established and continuously monitored on an hourly rolling average basis defined as follows:

('A') A continuous monitor is one which continuously samples the regulated parameter without interruption, and evaluates the detector response at least once each 15 seconds, and computes and records the average value at least every 60 seconds.

('B') An hourly rolling average is the arithmetic mean of the 60 most recent 1-minute average values recorded by the continuous monitoring system.

('ii') The operating limit for the parameter shall be established based on compliance test data as the average over all test runs of the highest hourly rolling average value for each run.

('3') Rolling average limits for carcinogenic metals and lead. Feed rate limits for the carcinogenic metals (i.e., arsenic, beryllium, cadmium and chromium) and lead may be established either on an hourly rolling average basis as prescribed by subclause ('2') of this clause or on (up to) a 24 hour rolling average basis. If the owner or operator elects to use an averaging period from 2 to 24 hours:

('i') The feed rate of each metal shall be limited at any time to ten times the feed rate that would be allowed on a hourly rolling average basis;

('ii') The continuous monitor shall meet the following specifications:

('A') A continuous monitor is one which continuously samples the regulated parameter without interruption, and evaluates the detector response at least once each 15 seconds, and computes and records the average value at least every 60 seconds.

('B') The rolling average for the selected averaging period is defined as arithmetic mean of one hour block averages for the averaging period. A one hour block average is the arithmetic mean of the one minute averages recorded during the 60-minute period beginning at one minute after the beginning of preceding clock hour; and

('iii') The operating limit for the feed rate of each metal shall be established based on compliance test data as the average over all test runs of the highest hourly rolling average feed rate for each run.

('4') Feed rate limits for metals, total chloride and chlorine, and ash. Feed rate limits for metals, total chlorine and chloride, and ash are established and monitored by knowing the concentration of the substance (i.e., metals, chloride/chlorine, and ash) in each feedstream and the flow rate of the feedstream. To monitor the feed rate of these substances, the flow rate of each feedstream must be monitored under the continuous monitoring requirements of subclauses ('1') through ('3') of this clause.

('e') Certification of compliance statement. The following statement shall accompany the certification of compliance:

"I certify under penalty of law that this information was prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed to ensure that qualified personnel properly gathered and evaluated the information and supporting documentation. Copies of all emissions tests, dispersion modeling results and other information used to determine conformance with the requirements of 6 NYCRR Part 374-1.8(d)(3) are available at the facility and can be obtained from the facility contact person listed above. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who manages the facility, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the information, the information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fine and imprisonment for knowing violations.

I also acknowledge that the operating conditions established in this certification pursuant to 6 NYCRR Part 374-1.8(d)(3)(iv)('d') are enforceable limits at which the facility can legally operate during interim status until a revised certification of compliance is submitted."

(v) Special requirements for HC monitoring systems. When an owner or operator is required to comply with the hydrocarbon (HC) controls provided by paragraph (e)(3) of this section or subclause (1)(v)('a')('4') of this subdivision, a conditioned gas monitoring system may be used in conformance with specifications provided in Appendix 49 of this Title provided that the owner or operator submits a certification of compliance without using extensions of time provided by subparagraph (vii) of this paragraph.

(vi) Special operating requirements for industrial furnaces that recycle collected PM. Owners and operators of industrial furnaces that recycle back into the furnace particulate matter (PM) from the air pollution control system must:

('a') When complying with the requirements of subclause (iii)('b')('1') of this paragraph, comply with the operating requirements prescribed in "Alternative Method to Implement the Metals Controls" in Appendix 49 of this Title; and

('b') When complying with the requirements of subclause (iii)('b')('2') of this paragraph, comply with the operating requirements prescribed by that subclause.

(vii) Extensions of time.

('a') If the owner or operator did not submit a complete certification of compliance to the EPA Administrator for all of the applicable emissions standards of subdivisions (e), (f), (g) and (h) by August 21, 1992, he/she must either:

('1') Stop burning hazardous waste and begin closure activities under paragraph (12) of this subdivision for the hazardous waste portion of the facility; or

('2') Limit hazardous waste burning only for purposes of compliance testing (and pretesting to prepare for compliance testing) a total period of 720 hours for the period of time beginning August 21, 1992, submit a notification to the EPA Administrator by August 21, 1992 stating that the facility is operating under restricted interim status and intends to resume burning hazardous waste, and submit a complete certification of compliance by August 23, 1993; or

('3') Obtain a case-by-case extension of time under clause ('b') of this subparagraph.

('b') The owner or operator may request a case-by-case extension of time to extend any time limit provided by paragraph (3) of this subdivision if compliance with the time limit is not practicable for reasons beyond the control of the owner or operator.

('1') In granting an extension, the Commissioner may apply conditions as the facts warrant to ensure timely compliance with the requirements of this subdivision and that the facility operates in a manner that does not pose a hazard to human health and the environment;

('2') When an owner or operator requests an extension of time to enable the facility to comply with the alternative hydrocarbon provisions of paragraph (e)(6) of this section and obtain a Part 373 operating permit because the facility cannot meet the HC limit of paragraph (e)(3) of this section:

('i') The Commissioner shall, in considering whether to grant the extension:

('A') Determine whether the owner and operator have submitted in a timely manner a complete Part 373 permit application that includes information required under paragraph 373-1.5(i)(2) of this Title; and

('B') Consider whether the owner and operator have made a good faith effort to certify compliance with all other emission controls, including the controls on dioxins and furans of paragraph (e)(5) of this section and the controls on PM, metals, and HCl/Cl2.

('ii') If an extension is granted, the Commissioner shall, as a condition of the extension, require the facility to operate under flue gas concentration limits on CO and HC that, based on available information, including information in the Part 373 permit application, are baseline CO and HC levels as defined by subparagraph (e)(6)(i) of this section.

('3') The Commissioner will not grant an extension which would result in regulatory controls less stringent than those in the RCRA-delegated program.

(viii) Revised certification of compliance. The owner or operator may submit at any time a revised certification of compliance (recertification of compliance) under the following procedures:

('a') Prior to submittal of a revised certification of compliance, hazardous waste may not be burned for more than a total of 720 hours under operating conditions that exceed those established under a current certification of compliance, and such burning may be conducted only for purposes of determining whether the facility can operate under revised conditions and continue to meet the applicable emissions standards of subdivisions (e), (f), (g) and (h) of this section;

('b') At least 30 days prior to first burning hazardous waste under operating conditions that exceed those established under a current certification of compliance, the owner or operator shall notify the Commissioner and submit the following information:

('1') EPA facility ID number, and facility name, contact person, telephone number, and address;

('2') Operating conditions that the owner or operator is seeking to revise, and a description of the changes in facility design or operation that prompted the need to seek to revise the operating conditions;

('3') A determination that when operating under the revised operating conditions, the applicable emissions standards of subdivisions (e), (f), (g) and (h) of this section are not likely to be exceeded. To document this determination, the owner or operator shall submit the applicable information required under subparagraph (2)(ii) of this subdivision; and

('4') Complete emissions testing protocol for any pretesting and for a new compliance test to determine compliance with the applicable emissions standards of subdivisions (e), (f), (g) and (h) of this section when operating under revised operating conditions. The protocol shall include a schedule of pre-testing and compliance testing. If the owner and operator revises the scheduled date for the compliance test, he/she shall notify the Commissioner, in writing, at least 30 days prior to the revised date of the compliance test;

('c') Conduct a compliance test under the revised operating conditions and the protocol submitted to the Commissioner to determine compliance with the applicable emissions standards of subdivisions (e), (f), (g) and (h) of this section; and

('d') Submit a revised certification of compliance under subparagraph (iv) of this paragraph.

(4) Periodic Recertifications. The owner or operator must conduct compliance testing and submit to the Commissioner a recertification of compliance under provisions of paragraph (3) of this subdivision within three years from submitting the previous certification or recertification. If the owner or operator seeks to recertify compliance under new operating conditions, he/she must comply with the requirements of subparagraph (3)(viii) of this subdivision.

(5) Noncompliance with certification schedule. If the owner or operator does not comply with the interim status compliance schedule provided by paragraphs (2), (3) and (4) of this subdivision, hazardous waste burning must terminate on the date that the deadline is missed, closure activities must begin under paragraph (12) of this subdivision, and hazardous waste burning may not resume except under an operating permit issued under subdivision 373-1.9(d) of this Title. For purposes of compliance with the closure provisions of paragraph (12) of this subdivision and subparagraph 373-3.7(c)(4)(ii) and subdivision 373-3.7(d) of this Title the boiler or industrial furnace has received "the known final volume of hazardous waste" on the date that the deadline is missed.

(6) Start-up and shut-down. Hazardous waste (except waste fed solely as an ingredient under the Tier I (or adjusted Tier I) feed rate screening limits for metals and chloride/chlorine) must not be fed into the device during start-up and shut-down of the boiler or industrial furnace, unless the device is operating within the conditions of operation specified in the certification of compliance.

(7) Automatic waste feed cutoff. During the compliance test required by subparagraph (3)(iii) of this subdivision, and upon certification of compliance under paragraph (3) of this subdivision, a boiler or industrial furnace must be operated with a functioning system that automatically cuts off the hazardous waste feed when the applicable operating conditions specified in clauses (3)(i)('a') and (3)(i)('e') through (3)(i)('m') of this subdivision deviate from those established in the certification of compliance. In addition:

(i) To minimize emissions of organic compounds, the minimum combustion chamber temperature (or the indicator of combustion chamber temperature) that occurred during the compliance test must be maintained while hazardous waste or hazardous waste residues remain in the combustion chamber, with the minimum temperature during the compliance test defined as either:

('a') If compliance with the combustion chamber temperature limit is based on an hourly rolling average, the minimum temperature during the compliance test is considered to be the average over all runs of the lowest hourly rolling average for each run; or

('b') If compliance with the combustion chamber temperature limit is based on an instantaneous temperature measurement, the minimum temperature during the compliance test is considered to be the time-weighted average temperature during all runs of the test; and

(ii) Operating parameters limited by the certification of compliance must continue to be monitored during the cuto
