 Subpart EEE--National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 
                     from Hazardous Waste Combustors
 
Sec. 63.1201  Definitions and acronyms used in this subpart.

    (a) The terms used in this subpart are defined in the Act, in 
subpart A of this part, or in this section as follows:
    Air pollution control system means the equipment used to reduce the 
release of particulate matter and other pollutants to the atmosphere.
    Automatic waste feed cutoff (AWFCO) system means a system comprised 
of cutoff valves, actuator, sensor, data manager, and other necessary 
components and electrical circuitry designed, operated and maintained to 
stop the flow of hazardous waste to the combustion unit automatically 
and immediately (except as provided by Sec. 63.1206(c)(3)(viii)) when any 
operating requirement is exceeded.
    By-pass duct means a device which diverts a minimum of 10 percent of 
a cement kiln's off gas, or a device which the Administrator determines 
on a case-by-case basis diverts a sample of kiln gas that contains 
levels of carbon monoxide or hydrocarbons representative of the levels 
in the kiln.
    Combustion chamber means the area in which controlled flame 
combustion of hazardous waste occurs.
    Continuous monitor means a device which continuously samples the 
regulated parameter specified in Sec. 63.1209 without interruption, 
evaluates the detector response at least once every 15 seconds, and 
computes and records the average value at least every 60 seconds, except 
during allowable periods of calibration and except as defined otherwise 
by the CEMS Performance Specifications in appendix B, part 60 of this 
chapter.
    Dioxin/furan and dioxins and furans mean tetra-, penta-, hexa-, 
hepta-, and octa-chlorinated dibenzo dioxins and furans.
    Existing source means any affected source that is not a new source.
    Feedrate operating limits means limits on the feedrate of materials 
(e.g., metals, chlorine) to the combustor that are established based on 
comprehensive

[[Page 10]]

performance testing. The limits are established and monitored by knowing 
the concentration of the limited material (e.g., chlorine) in each 
feedstream and the flowrate of each feedstream.
    Feedstream means any material fed into a hazardous waste combustor, 
including, but not limited to, any pumpable or nonpumpable solid, 
liquid, or gas.
    Flowrate means the rate at which a feedstream is fed into a 
hazardous waste combustor.
    Hazardous waste is defined in Sec. 261.3 of this chapter.
    Hazardous waste burning cement kiln means a rotary kiln and any 
associated preheater or precalciner devices that produce clinker by 
heating limestone and other materials for subsequent production of 
cement for use in commerce, and that burns hazardous waste at any time.
    Hazardous waste combustor means a hazardous waste incinerator, 
hazardous waste burning cement kiln, or hazardous waste burning 
lightweight aggregate kiln.
    Hazardous waste incinerator means a device defined as an incinerator 
in Sec. 260.10 of this chapter and that burns hazardous waste at any time. 
For purposes of this subpart, the hazardous waste incinerator includes 
all associated firing systems and air pollution control devices, as well 
as the combustion chamber equipment.
    Hazardous waste lightweight aggregate kiln means a rotary kiln that 
produces clinker by heating materials such as slate, shale and clay for 
subsequent production of lightweight aggregate used in commerce, and 
that burns hazardous waste at any time.
    Hazardous waste residence time means the time elapsed from cutoff of 
the flow of hazardous waste into the combustor (including, for example, 
the time required for liquids to flow from the cutoff valve into the 
combustor) until solid, liquid, and gaseous materials from the hazardous 
waste (excluding residues that may adhere to combustion chamber surfaces 
and excluding waste-derived recycled materials such as cement kiln dust 
and internally recycled metals) exit the combustion chamber. For 
combustors with multiple firing systems whereby the residence time may 
vary for the firing systems, the hazardous waste residence time for 
purposes of complying with this subpart means the longest residence time 
for any firing system in use at the time of the waste cutoff.
    Initial comprehensive performance test means the comprehensive 
performance test that is used as the basis for initially demonstrating 
compliance with the standards.
    In-line kiln raw mill means a hazardous waste burning cement kiln 
design whereby kiln gas is ducted through the raw material mill for 
portions of time to facilitate drying and heating of the raw material.
    Instantaneous monitoring for combustion system leak control means 
detecting and recording pressure, without use of an averaging period, at 
a frequency adequate to detect combustion system leak events from 
hazardous waste combustion.
    Monovent means an exhaust configuration of a building or emission 
control device (e.g. positive pressure fabric filter) that extends the 
length of the structure and has a width very small in relation to its 
length (i.e., length to width ratio is typically greater than 5:1). The 
exhaust may be an open vent with or without a roof, louvered vents, or a 
combination of such features.
    MTEC means maximum theoretical emissions concentration of metals or 
HCl/Cl, expressed as [mu]g/dscm, and is calculated by dividing the 
feedrate by the gas flowrate.
    New source means any affected source the construction or 
reconstruction of which is commenced after April 19, 1996.
    One-minute average means the average of detector responses 
calculated at least every 60 seconds from responses obtained at least 
every 15 seconds.
    Operating record means a documentation retained at the facility for 
ready inspection by authorized officials of all information required by 
the standards to document and maintain compliance with the applicable 
regulations, including data and information, reports, notifications, and 
communications with regulatory officials.
    Operating requirements means operating terms or conditions, limits, 
or operating parameter limits developed

[[Page 11]]

under this subpart that ensure compliance with the emission standards.
    Preheater tower combustion gas monitoring location means a location 
within the preheater tower of a dry process cement kiln downstream (in 
terms of gas flow) of all hazardous waste firing locations and where a 
representative sample of combustion gas to measure combustion efficiency 
can be monitored.
    Raw material feed means the prepared and mixed materials, which 
include but are not limited to materials such as limestone, clay, shale, 
sand, iron ore, mill scale, cement kiln dust and flyash, that are fed to 
a cement or lightweight aggregate kiln. Raw material feed does not 
include the fuels used in the kiln to produce heat to form the clinker 
product.
    Research, development, and demonstration source means a source 
engaged in laboratory, pilot plant, or prototype demonstration 
operations:
    (1) Whose primary purpose is to conduct research, development, or 
short-term demonstration of an innovative and experimental hazardous 
waste treatment technology or process; and
    (2) Where the operations are under the close supervision of 
technically-trained personnel.
    Rolling average means the average of all one-minute averages over 
the averaging period.
    Run means the net period of time during which an air emission sample 
is collected under a given set of operating conditions. Three or more 
runs constitutes a test. Unless otherwise specified, a run may be either 
intermittent or continuous.
    Run average means the average of the one-minute average parameter 
values for a run.
    TEQ means toxicity equivalence, the international method of relating 
the toxicity of various dioxin/furan congeners to the toxicity of 
2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin.
    You means the owner or operator of a hazardous waste combustor.
    (b) The acronyms used in this subpart refer to the following:
    AWFCO means automatic waste feed cutoff.
    CAS means chemical abstract services registry.
    CEMS means continuous emissions monitoring system.
    CMS means continuous monitoring system.
    DRE means destruction and removal efficiency.
    MACT means maximum achievable control technology.
    MTEC means maximum theoretical emissions concentration.
    NIC means notification of intent to comply.
