NR 440.218(2)(j)(j) “Infectious agent” means any organism, such as a virus or bacteria, that is capable of being communicated by invasion and multiplication in body tissues and capable of causing disease or adverse health impacts in humans. NR 440.218(2)(jm)(jm) “Intermittent HMIWI” means an HMIWI that is designed to allow waste charging, but not ash removal, during combustion. NR 440.218(2)(k)(k) “Large HMIWI” means an HMIWI whose maximum design waste burning capacity is more than 500 pounds per hour, a continuous or intermittent HMIWI whose maximum charge rate is more than 500 pounds per hour or a batch HMIWI whose maximum charge rate is more than 4,000 pounds per day. A continuous or intermittent HMIWI whose maximum charge rate is less than or equal to 500 pounds per hour, or a batch HMIWI whose maximum charge rate is less than or equal to 4,000 pounds per day, is not a large HMIWI. NR 440.218(2)(km)(km) “Low-level radioactive waste” means waste material which contains radioactive nuclides emitting primarily beta or gamma radiation, or both, in concentrations or quantities that exceed applicable federal or state standards for unrestricted release. Low-level radioactive waste is not high-level radioactive waste, spent nuclear fuel or byproduct material as defined by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 USC 2014 (e) (2)). NR 440.218(2)(L)(L) “Malfunction” means any sudden, infrequent and not reasonably preventable failure of air pollution control equipment, process equipment or a process to operate in a normal or usual manner. Failures that are caused, in part, by poor maintenance or careless operation are not malfunctions. During periods of malfunction the operator shall operate within established parameters as much as possible, and monitoring of all applicable operating parameters shall continue until all waste has been combusted or until the malfunction ceases, whichever comes first. NR 440.218(2)(Lm)1.1. For continuous and intermittent HMIWI, 110% of the lowest 3-hour average charge rate measured during the most recent performance test demonstrating compliance with all applicable emission limits. NR 440.218(2)(Lm)2.2. For batch HMIWI, 110% of the lowest daily charge rate measured during the most recent performance test demonstrating compliance with all applicable emission limits. NR 440.218(2)(m)(m) “Maximum design waste burning capacity” means the following: C = PV x 15,000/8,500
where:
C is the HMIWI capacity, lb/hr
PV is the primary chamber volume, ft3
15,000 is the primary chamber heat release rate factor, Btu/ft3/hr
8,500 is the standard waste heating value, Btu/lb
C = PV x 4.5/8
where:
C is the HMIWI capacity, lb/hr
PV is the primary chamber volume, ft3
4.5 is the waste density, lb/ft3
8 is the typical hours of operation of a batch HMIWI, hours
NR 440.218(2)(mm)(mm) “Maximum fabric filter inlet temperature” means 110% of the lowest 3-hour average temperature at the inlet to the fabric filter, taken at a minimum once every minute, measured during the most recent performance test demonstrating compliance with the dioxin/furan emission limit. NR 440.218(2)(n)(n) “Maximum flue gas temperature” means 110% of the lowest 3-hour average temperature at the outlet from the wet scrubber, taken at a minimum once every minute, measured during the most recent performance test demonstrating compliance with the mercury emission limit. NR 440.218(2)(nm)(nm) “Medical/infectious waste” means any waste generated in the diagnosis, treatment or immunization of human beings or animals, in research pertaining thereto, or in the production or testing of biologicals that are listed in subds. 1. to 7. Medical/infectious waste does not include hazardous waste identified or listed under the regulations in 40 CFR part 261; household waste as defined in 40 CFR 261.4 (b) (1); ash from incineration of medical/infectious waste, once the incineration process has been completed; human corpses, remains, and anatomical parts that are intended for internment or cremation; and domestic sewage materials identified in 40 CFR 261.4 (a) (1). NR 440.218(2)(nm)1.1. Cultures and stocks of infectious agents and associated biologicals, including cultures from medical and pathological laboratories; cultures and stocks of infectious agents from research and industrial laboratories; wastes from the production of biologicals; discarded live and attenuated vaccines; and culture dishes and devices used to transfer, inoculate and mix cultures. NR 440.218(2)(nm)2.2. Human pathological waste, including tissues, organs, and body parts and body fluids that are removed during surgery or autopsy, or other medical procedures, and specimens of body fluids and their containers.
