(2) and under conditions established in the notification of compliance testing required by par. (b). 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 shall 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 department shall provide a written approval to use compliance test data in lieu of testing a similar unit if it 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 subsection. NR 666.103(3)(c)2.2. ‘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 shall comply with one of the following procedures for testing to determine compliance with the metals standards of s. NR 666.106 (3) or (4): NR 666.103(3)(c)2.b.b. Stack emissions testing for a minimum of 6 hours each day while hazardous waste is burned during an interim license. The testing shall 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 an interim license, hazardous waste analysis for metals content shall 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 s. NR 666.106 (3) or (4). Under this option, operating limits (under par. (a)) shall be established during compliance testing under this paragraph only on the following parameters: 1) Feed rate of total hazardous waste.
2) Total feed rate of chlorine and chloride in total feed streams.
3) 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.
