NR 440.218(4)(i)(i) The owner or operator of an affected facility shall establish a program for reviewing the information listed in par. (h) annually with each HMIWI operator as follows:
NR 440.218(4)(i)1.1. The initial review of the information listed in par. (h) shall be conducted within 6 months after the effective date of this section or prior to assumption of responsibilities affecting HMIWI operation, whichever date is later.
NR 440.218(4)(i)2.2. Subsequent reviews of the information listed in par. (h) shall be conducted annually.
NR 440.218(4)(j)(j) The information listed in par. (h) shall be kept in a readily accessible location for all HMIWI operators. This information, along with records of training, shall be available for inspection by the EPA or department upon request.
NR 440.218(5)(5)Siting requirements.
NR 440.218(5)(a)(a) The owner or operator of an affected facility for which construction is commenced after September 15, 1997 shall prepare an analysis of the impacts of the affected facility. The analysis shall consider air pollution control alternatives that minimize, on a site-specific basis, to the maximum extent practicable, potential risks to public health or the environment. In considering the alternatives, the analysis may consider costs, energy impacts, non-air environmental impacts or any other factors related to the practicability of the alternatives.
NR 440.218(5)(b)(b) Analyses of facility impacts prepared to comply with state, local or other federal regulatory requirements may be used to satisfy the requirements of this subsection, as long as they include the consideration of air pollution control alternatives specified in par. (a).
NR 440.218(5)(c)(c) The owner or operator of the affected facility shall complete and submit the siting requirements of this section as required under sub. (9) (a) 1. c.
NR 440.218(6)(6)Waste management plan. The owner or operator of an affected facility shall prepare a waste management plan. The waste management plan shall identify both the feasibility and the approach to separate certain components of solid waste from the health care waste stream in order to reduce the amount of toxic emissions from incinerated waste. A waste management plan may include, but is not limited to, elements such as paper, cardboard, plastics, glass, battery or metal recycling; or purchasing recycled or recyclable products. A waste management plan may include different goals or approaches for different areas or departments of the facility and need not include new waste management goals for every waste stream. It should identify, where possible, reasonably available additional waste management measures, taking into account the effectiveness of waste management measures already in place, the costs of additional measures, the emission reductions expected to be achieved and any other environmental or energy impacts they might have. The American Hospital Association publication entitled “An Ounce of Prevention: Waste Reduction Strategies for Health Care Facilities”, incorporated by reference in s. NR 440.17 (2) (L) 1., shall be considered in the development of the waste management plan.
NR 440.218(7)(7)Compliance and performance testing.
NR 440.218(7)(a)(a) The emission limits under this section apply at all times except during periods of startup, shutdown or malfunction, provided that no hospital waste or medical/infectious waste is charged to the affected facility during startup, shutdown or malfunction.
