(b) Designation of POHCs. Principal organic hazardous constituents (POHCs) are those compounds for which compliance with the DRE requirements shall be demonstrated in a trial burn in conformance with procedures prescribed in s.
NR 670.066. One or more POHCs shall be designated by the department for each waste feed to be burned. POHCs shall be designated based on the degree of difficulty of destruction of the organic constituents in the waste and on their concentrations or mass in the waste feed considering the results of waste analyses submitted with the feasibility and plan of operation report. POHCs are most likely to be selected from among those compounds listed in ch.
NR 661 Appendix VIII that are also present in the normal waste feed. However, if the applicant demonstrates to the department's satisfaction in writing that a compound not listed in ch.
NR 661 Appendix VIII or not present in the normal waste feed is a suitable indicator of compliance with the DRE requirements, that compound may be designated as a POHC. Such POHCs need not be toxic or organic compounds.

(b)) in its license. This performance shall be demonstrated on POHCs that are more difficult to burn than tetra-, penta- and hexachlorodibenzo-
p-dioxins and dibenzofurans. DRE is determined for each POHC from the equation in par.
