NR 664.0343(1)(b)(b) An incinerator burning hazardous wastes F020, F021, F022, F023, F026 or F027 shall achieve a destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of 99.9999% for each principal organic hazardous constituent (POHC) designated (under s. NR 664.0342) in its license. The owner or operator shall demonstrate this performance on POHCs that are more difficult to incinerate than tetra-, penta- and hexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans. The owner or operator shall determine the DRE for each POHC using the equation in par. (a).

NR 664.0343(2)(2) An incinerator burning hazardous waste and producing stack emissions of more than 1.8 kilograms per hour (4 pounds per hour) of hydrogen chloride (HCl) shall control HCl emissions such that the rate of emission is no greater than the larger of either 1.8 kilograms per hour or 1% of the HCl in the stack gas prior to entering any pollution control equipment.

NR 664.0343(3)(3) An incinerator burning hazardous waste may not emit particulate matter in excess of 180 milligrams per dry standard cubic meter (0.08 grains per dry standard cubic foot) when corrected for the amount of oxygen in the stack gas according to the formula:

Y = measured concentration of oxygen in the stack gas, using the Orsat method for oxygen analysis of dry flue gas, presented in Method 3 in appendix A of 40 CFR part 60, incorporated by reference in s. NR 660.11

All hazardous waste incinerators except those operating under conditions of oxygen enrichment shall use this correction procedure. For incinerators operating under conditions of oxygen enrichment, the department will select an appropriate correction procedure and specify it in the facility license.

NR 664.0343(4)(4) For purposes of license enforcement, compliance with the operating requirements specified in the license (under s. NR 664.0345) is compliance with this section. However, evidence that compliance with those license conditions is insufficient to ensure compliance with the performance requirements of this section may be “information” justifying modification, revocation or reissuance of a license under s. NR 670.041.

NR 664.0343 HistoryHistory: CR 05-032: cr. Register July 2006 No. 607, eff. 8-1-06; CR 16-007: am. (1) (b) Register July 2017 No. 739, eff. 8-1-17.

NR 664.0344(1)(1) The owner or operator of a hazardous waste incinerator may burn only wastes specified in the owner or operator’s license and only under operating conditions specified for those wastes under s. NR 664.0345, except in any of the following circumstances:

NR 664.0344(1)(a)(a) In approved trial burns under s. NR 670.062.

NR 664.0344(1)(b)(b) Under exemptions created by s. NR 664.0340.

NR 664.0344(2)(2) Other hazardous wastes may be burned only after the department has specified operating conditions in a new license or a license modification as applicable. The department may base operating requirements for new wastes on either trial burn results or alternative data included with the feasibility and plan of operation report under s. NR 670.019.

NR 664.0344(3)(3) The license for a new hazardous waste incinerator shall establish appropriate conditions for each of the applicable requirements of this subchapter, including but not limited to allowable waste feeds and operating conditions necessary to meet s. NR 664.0345, sufficient to comply with all of the following standards:

NR 664.0344(3)(a)(a) For the period beginning with initial introduction of hazardous waste to the incinerator and ending with initiation of the trial burn, and only for the minimum time required to establish operating conditions required in par. (b), not to exceed a duration of 720 hours operating time for treatment of hazardous waste, the operating requirements shall be those most likely to ensure compliance with the performance standards of s. NR 664.0343, based on the department’s engineering judgment. The department may extend the duration of this period once for up to 720 additional hours when the applicant demonstrates good cause for the extension.

NR 664.0344(3)(b)(b) For the duration of the trial burn, the operating requirements shall be sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the performance standards of s. NR 664.0343 and shall be according to the approved trial burn plan.

NR 664.0344(3)(c)(c) For the period immediately following completion of the trial burn, and only for the minimum period sufficient to allow sample analysis, data computation and submission of the trial burn results by the applicant, and review of the trial burn results and modification of the facility license by the department, the operating requirements shall be those most likely to ensure compliance with the performance standards of s. NR 664.0343, based on the department’s engineering judgment.

NR 664.0344(3)(d)(d) For the remaining duration of the license, the operating requirements shall be those demonstrated, in a trial burn or by alternative data specified in s. NR 670.019 (3), as sufficient to ensure compliance with the performance standards of s. NR 664.0343.

NR 664.0345(1)(1) The owner or operator shall operate an incinerator according to the operating requirements in the license. The department will specify these on a case-by-case basis as those demonstrated (in a trial burn or in alternative data as specified in s. NR 664.0344 (2) and included with the feasibility and plan of operation report) to be sufficient to comply with the performance standards of s. NR 664.0343.

NR 664.0345(2)(2) Each set of operating requirements will specify the composition of the waste feed (including acceptable variations in the physical or chemical properties of the waste feed which will not affect compliance with the performance requirement of s. NR 664.0343) to which the operating requirements apply. For each waste feed to which the operating requirements apply, the license will specify acceptable operating limits including all of the following conditions:
