Sec. 63.1203  What are the standards for hazardous waste incinerators?

    (a) Emission limits for existing sources. You must not discharge or 
cause combustion gases to be emitted into the atmosphere that contain:
    (1) For dioxins and furans:
    (i) Emissions in excess of 0.20 ng TEQ/dscm corrected to 7 percent 
oxygen; or
    (ii) Emissions in excess of 0.40 ng TEQ/dscm corrected to 7 percent 
oxygen provided that the combustion gas temperature at the inlet to the 
initial particulate matter control device is 400 F or lower based on 
the average of the test run average temperatures. (For purposes of 
compliance, operation of a wet particulate control device is presumed to 
meet the 400 F or lower requirement);
    (2) Mercury in excess of 130 [mu]g/dscm corrected to 7 percent 
oxygen;
    (3) Lead and cadmium in excess of 240 [mu]g/dscm, combined 
emissions, corrected to 7 percent oxygen;
    (4) Arsenic, beryllium, and chromium in excess of 97 [mu]g/dscm, 
combined emissions, corrected to 7 percent oxygen;
    (5) For carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, either:
    (i) Carbon monoxide in excess of 100 parts per million by volume, 
over an hourly rolling average (monitored continuously with a continuous 
emissions monitoring system), dry basis and corrected to 7 percent 
oxygen. If you elect to comply with this carbon monoxide standard rather 
than the hydrocarbon

[[Page 12]]

standard under paragraph (a)(5)(ii) of this section, you must also 
document that, during the destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) test 
runs or their equivalent as provided by Sec. 63.1206(b)(7), hydrocarbons do 
not exceed 10 parts per million by volume during those runs, over an 
hourly rolling average (monitored continuously with a continuous 
emissions monitoring system), dry basis, corrected to 7 percent oxygen, 
and reported as propane; or
    (ii) Hydrocarbons in excess of 10 parts per million by volume, over 
an hourly rolling average (monitored continuously with a continuous 
emissions monitoring system), dry basis, corrected to 7 percent oxygen, 
and reported as propane;
    (6) Hydrochloric acid and chlorine gas in excess of 77 parts per 
million by volume, combined emissions, expressed as hydrochloric acid 
equivalents, dry basis and corrected to 7 percent oxygen; and
    (7) Particulate matter in excess of 34 mg/dscm corrected to 7 
percent oxygen.
    (b) Emission limits for new sources. You must not discharge or cause 
combustion gases to be emitted into the atmosphere that contain:
    (1) Dioxins and furans in excess of 0.20 ng TEQ/dscm, corrected to 7 
percent oxygen;
    (2) Mercury in excess of 45 [mu]g/dscm corrected to 7 percent 
oxygen;
    (3) Lead and cadmium in excess of 120 [mu]g/dscm, combined 
emissions, corrected to 7 percent oxygen;
    (4) Arsenic, beryllium, and chromium in excess of 97 [mu]g/dscm, 
combined emissions, corrected to 7 percent oxygen;
    (5) For carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, either:
    (i) Carbon monoxide in excess of 100 parts per million by volume, 
over an hourly rolling average (monitored continuously with a continuous 
emissions monitoring system), dry basis and corrected to 7 percent 
oxygen. If you elect to comply with this carbon monoxide standard rather 
than the hydrocarbon standard under paragraph (b)(5)(ii) of this 
section, you must also document that, during the destruction and removal 
efficiency (DRE) test runs or their equivalent as provided by Sec. 
63.1206(b)(7), hydrocarbons do not exceed 10 parts per million by volume 
during those runs, over an hourly rolling average (monitored 
continuously with a continuous emissions monitoring system), dry basis, 
corrected to 7 percent oxygen, and reported as propane; or
    (ii) Hydrocarbons in excess of 10 parts per million by volume, over 
an hourly rolling average (monitored continuously with a continuous 
emissions monitoring system), dry basis, corrected to 7 percent oxygen, 
and reported as propane;
    (6) Hydrochloric acid and chlorine gas in excess of 21 parts per 
million by volume, combined emissions, expressed as hydrochloric acid 
equivalents, dry basis and corrected to 7 percent oxygen; and
    (7) Particulate matter in excess of 34 mg/dscm corrected to 7 
percent oxygen.
    (c) Destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) standard. (1) 99.99% 
DRE. Except as provided in paragraph (c)(2) of this section, you must 
achieve a destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of 99.99% for each 
principle organic hazardous constituent (POHC) designated under 
paragraph (c)(3) of this section. You must calculate DRE for each POHC 
from the following equation:

DRE = [1-(Wout / Win)] x 100%

Where:

Win = mass feedrate of one principal organic hazardous 
constituent (POHC) in a waste feedstream; and
Wout = mass emission rate of the same POHC present in exhaust 
emissions prior to release to the atmosphere.

    (2) 99.9999% DRE. If you burn the dioxin-listed hazardous wastes 
F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, or F027 (see Sec. 261.31 of this chapter), 
you must achieve a destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of 99.9999% 
for each principle organic hazardous constituent (POHC) that you 
designate under paragraph (c)(3) of this section. You must demonstrate 
this DRE performance on POHCs that are more difficult to incinerate than 
tetra-, penta-, and hexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans. You 
must use the equation in paragraph (c)(1) of this section

[[Page 13]]

to calculate DRE for each POHC. In addition, you must notify the 
Administrator of your intent to incinerate hazardous wastes F020, F021, 
F022, F023, F026, or F027.
    (3) Principal organic hazardous constituents (POHCs). (i) You must 
treat the Principal Organic Hazardous Constituents (POHCs) in the waste 
feed that you specify under paragraph (c)(3)(ii) of this section to the 
extent required by paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this section.
    (ii) You must specify one or more POHCs from the list of hazardous 
air pollutants established by 42 U.S.C. 7412(b)(1), excluding 
caprolactam (CAS number 105602) as provided by Sec. 63.60, for each waste 
to be burned. You must base this specification on the degree of 
difficulty of incineration of the organic constituents in the waste and 
on their concentration or mass in the waste feed, considering the 
results of waste analyses or other data and information.
    (d) Significant figures. The emission limits provided by paragraphs 
(a) and (b) of this section are presented with two significant figures. 
Although you must perform intermediate calculations using at least three 
significant figures, you may round the resultant emission levels to two 
significant figures to document compliance.
