NR 440.215(7)(g)(g) The owner or operator of an affected facility located within a large MWC plant shall establish a program for reviewing the operating manual annually with each person who has responsibilities affecting the operation of an affected facility including, but not limited to, chief facility operators, shift supervisors, control room operators, ash handlers, maintenance personnel and crane or load handlers.
NR 440.215(7)(h)(h) The initial review of the operating manual, as specified under par. (g), shall be conducted prior to assumption of responsibilities affecting MWC unit operation by any person required to undergo training under par. (g). Subsequent reviews of the manual shall be carried out annually by each such person.
NR 440.215(7)(i)(i) The operating manual shall be kept in a readily accessible location for all persons required to undergo training under par. (g). The operating manual and records of training shall be available for inspection by U.S. EPA or the department upon request.
NR 440.215(9)(9)Compliance and performance testing.
NR 440.215(9)(a)(a) The standards under this section apply at all times except during periods of startup, shutdown or malfunction, provided that the duration of the period of startup, shutdown or malfunction does not exceed 3 hours per occurrence.
NR 440.215(9)(a)1.1. The startup period commences when the affected facility begins the continuous burning of MSW and does not include any warm up period when the affected facility is combusting only a fossil fuel or other non-MSW fuel and no MSW is being combusted.
NR 440.215(9)(a)2.2. Continuous burning is the continuous, semicontinuous or batch feeding of MSW for purposes of waste disposal, energy production or providing heat to the combustion system in preparation for waste disposal or energy production. The use of MSW solely to provide thermal protection of grate or hearth during the startup period is not considered to be continuous burning.
NR 440.215(9)(b)(b) The procedures and test methods in this paragraph shall be used to determine compliance with the emission limits for particulate matter under sub. (3). The cited procedures and test methods are contained in Appendix A of 40 CFR part 60, incorporated by reference in s. NR 440.17.
NR 440.215(9)(b)1.1. Method 1 shall be used to select sampling site and number of traverse points.
NR 440.215(9)(b)2.2. Method 3 shall be used for gas analysis.
NR 440.215(9)(b)3.3. Method 5 shall be used for determining compliance with the particulate matter emission limit. The minimum sample volume shall be 1.7 cubic meters (60 cubic feet). The probe and filter holder heating systems in the sample train shall be set to provide a gas temperature of 160° ± 14°C (320° ± 25°F). An oxygen or carbon dioxide measurement shall be obtained simultaneously with each Method 5 run.
NR 440.215(9)(b)4.4. For each Method 5 run, the emission rate shall be determined using:
NR 440.215(9)(b)4.a.a. Oxygen or carbon dioxide measurements;
NR 440.215(9)(b)4.b.b. Dry basis F factor; and
NR 440.215(9)(b)4.c.c. Dry basis emission rate calculation procedures in Method 19.
NR 440.215(9)(b)5.5. An owner or operator may request that compliance be determined using carbon dioxide measurements corrected to an equivalent of 7% oxygen. The relationship between oxygen and carbon dioxide levels for the affected facility shall be established during the initial compliance test.
NR 440.215(9)(b)6.6. The owner or operator of an affected facility shall conduct an initial compliance test for particulate matter and opacity as required under s. NR 440.08.
NR 440.215(9)(b)7.7. Method 9 shall be used for determining compliance with the opacity limit.
NR 440.215(9)(b)8.8. The owner or operator of an affected facility shall install, calibrate, maintain and operate a continuous opacity monitoring system (COMS) and record the output of the system on a 6-minute average basis.
