NR 666.107(4)(4) Averaging periods. The HCl and Cl2 controls are implemented by limiting the feed rate of total chlorine and chloride in all feedstreams, including hazardous waste, fuels and industrial furnace feed stocks. Under Tier I, the feed rate of total chloride and chlorine is limited to the Tier I screening limits. Under Tier II and Tier III, the feed rate of total chloride and chlorine is limited to the feed rates during the trial burn (for new facilities or an interim license facility applying for a license) or the compliance test (for interim license facilities). The feed rate limits are based on either of the following: NR 666.107(5)(5) Adjusted Tier I feed rate screening limits. The owner or operator may adjust the feed rate screening limit provided by ch. NR 666 Appendix II to account for site-specific dispersion modeling. Under this approach, the adjusted feed rate screening limit is determined by back-calculating from the acceptable ambient level for Cl2 provided by ch. NR 666 Appendix IV using dispersion modeling to determine the maximum allowable emission rate. This emission rate becomes the adjusted Tier I feed rate screening limit. NR 666.107(6)(6) Emissions testing. Emissions testing for HCl and Cl2 shall be conducted using the procedures described in Methods 0050 or 0051, EPA SW-846, as incorporated by reference in s. NR 660.11. NR 666.107(8)(8) Enforcement. For the purposes of license enforcement, compliance with the operating requirements specified in the license (under s. NR 666.102) shall be regarded as compliance with this section. However, evidence that compliance with those license conditions is insufficient to ensure compliance with this section may be information justifying modification or revocation and re-issuance of a license under s. NR 670.041. NR 666.107 HistoryHistory: CR 05-032: cr.
