PART 266_STANDARDS FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF SPECIFIC HAZARDOUS WASTES AND 
SPECIFIC TYPES OF HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT FACILITIES--Table of Contents
 
   Subpart H_Hazardous Waste Burned in Boilers and Industrial Furnaces
 
Sec. 266.103  Interim status standards for burners.

    (a) Purpose, scope, applicability--(1) General. (i) The purpose of 
this section is to establish minimum national standards for owners and 
operators of ``existing'' boilers and industrial furnaces that burn 
hazardous waste where such standards define the acceptable management of 
hazardous waste during the period of interim status. The standards of 
this section apply to owners and operators of existing facilities until 
either a permit is issued under Sec. 266.102(d) or until closure 
responsibilities identified in this section are fulfilled.
    (ii) Existing or in existence means a boiler or industrial furnace 
that on or before August 21, 1991 is either in operation burning or 
processing haz ard ous waste or for which con struc tion (including the 
ancillary facilities to burn or to process the hazardous waste) has 
commenced. A facility has commenced construction if the owner or 
operator has obtained the Federal, State, and local approvals or permits 
necessary to begin physical construction; and either:
    (A) A continuous on-site, physical construction program has begun; 
or
    (B) The owner or operator has entered into contractual obligations--
which cannot be canceled or modified without substantial loss--for 
physical construction of the facility to be completed within a 
reasonable time.
    (iii) If a boiler or industrial furnace is located at a facility 
that already has a permit or interim status, then the facility must 
comply with the applicable regulations dealing with permit modifications 
in Sec. 270.42 or changes in interim status in Sec. 270.72 of this 
chapter.
    (2) Exemptions. The requirements of this section do not apply to 
hazardous waste and facilities exempt under Sec. Sec. 266.100(b), or 
266.108.
    (3) Prohibition on burning dioxin-listed wastes. The following 
hazardous waste listed for dioxin and hazardous waste derived from any 
of these wastes may not be burned in a boiler or industrial furnace 
operating under interim status: F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, and F027.
    (4) Applicability of part 265 standards. Owners and operators of 
boilers and industrial furnaces that burn haz ard ous waste and are 
operating under interim status are subject to the following provisions 
of part 265 of this chapter, except as provided otherwise by this 
section:
    (i) In subpart A (General), Sec. 265.4;
    (ii) In subpart B (General facility standards), Sec. Sec. 265.11-
265.17;
    (iii) In subpart C (Preparedness and prevention), Sec. Sec. 265.31-
265.37;

[[Page 21]]

    (iv) In subpart D (Contingency plan and emergency procedures), 
Sec. Sec. 265.51-265.56;
    (v) In subpart E (Manifest system, recordkeeping, and reporting), 
Sec. Sec. 265.71-265.77, except that Sec. Sec. 265.71, 265.72, and 
265.76 do not apply to owners and operators of on-site facilities that 
do not receive any hazardous waste from off-site sources;
    (vi) In subpart G (Closure and post-closure), Sec. Sec. 265.111-
265.115;
    (vii) In subpart H (Financial requirements), Sec. Sec. 265.141, 
265.142, 265.143, and 265.147-265.151, except that States and the 
Federal government are exempt from the requirements of subpart H; and
    (viii) Subpart BB (Air emission standards for equipment leaks), 
except Sec. 265.1050(a).
    (5) Special requirements for furnaces. The following controls apply 
during interim status to industrial furnaces (e.g., kilns, cupolas) that 
feed hazardous waste for a purpose other than solely as an ingredient 
(see paragraph (a)(5)(ii) of this section) at any location other than 
the hot end where products are normally discharged or where fuels are 
normally fired:
    (i) Controls. (A) The hazardous waste shall be fed at a location 
where combustion gas temperatures are at least 1800 [deg]F;
    (B) The owner or operator must determine that adequate oxygen is 
present in combustion gases to combust organic constituents in the waste 
and retain documentation of such determination in the facility record;
    (C) For cement kiln systems, the hazardous waste shall be fed into 
the kiln; and
    (D) The hydrocarbon controls of Sec. 266.104(c) or paragraph (c)(5) 
of this section apply upon certification of compliance under paragraph 
(c) of this section irrespective of the CO level achieved during the 
compliance test.
    (ii) Burning hazardous waste solely as an ingredient. A hazardous 
waste is burned for a purpose other than solely as an ingredient if it 
meets either of these criteria:
    (A) The hazardous waste has a total concentration of nonmetal 
compounds listed in part 261, appendix VIII, of this chapter exceeding 
500 ppm by weight, as-fired, and so is considered to be burned for 
destruction. The concentration of nonmetal compounds in a waste as-
generated may be reduced to the 500 ppm limit by bona fide treatment 
that removes or destroys nonmetal constituents. Blending for dilution to 
meet the 500 ppm limit is prohibited and documentation that the waste 
has not been impermissibly diluted must be retained in the facility 
record; or
    (B) The hazardous waste has a heating value of 5,000 Btu/lb or more, 
as-fired, and so is considered to be burned as fuel. The heating value 
of a waste as-generated may be reduced to below the 5,000 Btu/lb limit 
by bona fide treatment that removes or destroys organic constituents. 
Blending to augment the heating value to meet the 5,000 Btu/lb limit is 
prohibited and documentation that the waste has not been impermissibly 
blended must be retained in the facility record.
    (6) Restrictions on burning hazardous waste that is not a fuel. 
Prior to certification of compliance under paragraph (c) of this 
section, owners and operators shall not feed hazardous waste that has a 
heating value less than 5,000 Btu/lb, as-generated, (except that the 
heating value of a waste as-generated may be increased to above the 
5,000 Btu/lb limit by bona fide treatment; however, blending to augment 
the heating value to meet the 5,000 Btu/lb limit is prohibited and 
records must be kept to document that impermissible blending has not 
occurred) in a boiler or industrial furnace, except that:
    (i) Hazardous waste may be burned solely as an ingredient; or
    (ii) Hazardous waste may be burned for purposes of compliance 
testing (or testing prior to compliance testing) for a total period of 
time not to exceed 720 hours; or
    (iii) Such waste may be burned if the Director has documentation to 
show that, prior to August 21, 1991:
    (A) The boiler or industrial furnace is operating under the interim 
status standards for incinerators provided by subpart O of part 265 of 
this chapter, or the interim status standards for thermal treatment 
units provided by subpart P of part 265 of this chapter; and

[[Page 22]]

    (B) The boiler or industrial furnace met the interim status 
eligibility requirements under Sec. 270.70 of this chapter for subpart 
O or subpart P of part 265 of this chapter; and
    (C) Hazardous waste with a heating value less than 5,000 Btu/lb was 
burned prior to that date; or
    (iv) Such waste may be burned in a halogen acid furnace if the waste 
was burned as an excluded ingredient under Sec. 261.2(e) of this 
chapter prior to February 21, 1991 and documentation is kept on file 
supporting this claim.
    (7) Direct transfer to the burner. If hazardous waste is directly 
transferred from a transport vehicle to a boiler or industrial furnace 
without the use of a storage unit, the owner and operator must comply 
with Sec. 266.111.
    (b) Certification of precompliance--(1) General. The owner or 
operator must provide complete and accurate information specified in 
paragraph (b)(2) of this section to the Director on or before August 21, 
1991, and must establish limits for the operating parameters specified 
in paragraph (b)(3) of this section. Such information is termed a 
``certification of precompliance'' and constitutes a certification that 
the owner or operator has determined that, when the facility is operated 
within the limits specified in paragraph (b)(3) of this section, the 
owner or operator believes that, using best engineering judgment, 
emissions of particulate matter, metals, and HCl and Cl2 are 
not likely to exceed the limits provided by Sec. Sec. 266.105, 266.106, 
and 266.107. The facility may burn hazardous waste only under the 
operating conditions that the owner or operator establishes under 
paragraph (b)(3) of this section until the owner or operator submits a 
revised certification of precompliance under paragraph (b)(8) of this 
section or a certification of compliance under paragraph (c) of this 
section, or until a permit is issued.
    (2) Information required. The following information must be 
submitted with the certification of precompliance to support the 
determination that the limits established for the operating parameters 
identified in paragraph (b)(3) of this section are not likely to result 
in an exceedance of the allowable emission rates for particulate matter, 
metals, and HCl and Cl2.

Tier I feed rate screening limits for chlorine under Sec. 266.107 
(b)(1) or (e) and for all metals under Sec. 266.106 (b) or (e), and the 
uncontrolled particulate emissions do not exceed the standard under 
Sec. 266.105.
    (4) Operating requirements for furnaces that recycle PM. Owners and 
operators of furnaces that recycle collected particulate matter (PM) 
back into the furnace and that will certify compliance with the metals 
emissions controls under paragraph (c)(3)(ii)(A) of this section must 
comply with the special operating requirements provided in ``Alternative 
Methodology for Implementing Metals Controls'' in appendix IX of this 
part.
    (5) Measurement of feed rates and production rate--(i) General 
requirements. Limits on each of the parameters specified in paragraph 
(b)(3) of this section (except for limits on metals concentrations in 
collected particulate matter (PM) for industrial furnaces that recycle 
collected PM) shall be established and continuously monitored under 
either of the following methods:
    (A) Instantaneous limits. A limit for a parameter may be established 
and continuously monitored and recorded on an instantaneous basis (i.e., 
the value that occurs at any time) not to be exceeded at any time; or
    (B) Hourly rolling average limits. A limit for a parameter may be 
established and continuously monitored on an hourly rolling average 
basis defined as follows:
    (1) A continuous monitor is one which continuously samples the 
regulated parameter without interruption, and evaluates the detector 
response at least once each 15 seconds, and computes and records the 
average value at least every 60 seconds.
    (2) An hourly rolling average is the arithmetic mean of the 60 most 
recent 1-minute average values recorded by the continuous monitoring 
system.
    (ii) Rolling average limits for carcinogenic metals and lead. Feed 
rate limits for the carcinogenic metals (arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, 
and chromium) and lead may be established either on

[[Page 25]]

an hourly rolling average basis as prescribed by paragraph (b)(5)(i)(B) 
or on (up to) a 24 hour rolling average basis. If the owner or operator 
elects to use an averaging period from 2 to 24 hours:
    (A) The feed rate of each metal shall be limited at any time to ten 
times the feed rate that would be allowed on a hourly rolling average 
basis;
    (B) The continuous monitor shall meet the following specifications:
    (1) A continuous monitor is one which continuously samples the 
regulated parameter without interruption, and evaluates the detector 
response at least once each 15 seconds, and computes and records the 
average value at least every 60 seconds.
    (2) The rolling average for the selected averaging period is defined 
as the arithmetic mean of one hour block averages for the averaging 
period. A one hour block average is the arithmetic mean of the one 
minute averages recorded during the 60-minute period beginning at one 
minute after the beginning of preceding clock hour.
    (iii) Feed rate limits for metals, total chloride and chlorine, and 
ash. Feed rate limits for metals, total chlorine and chloride, and ash 
are established and monitored by knowing the concentration of the 
substance (i.e., metals, chloride/chlorine, and ash) in each feedstream 
and the flow rate of the feedstream. To monitor the feed rate of these 
substances, the flow rate of each feedstream must be monitored under the 
continuous monitoring requirements of paragraphs (b)(5) (i) and (ii) of 
this section.
    (6) Public notice requirements at precompliance. On or before August 
21, 1991 the owner or operator must submit a notice with the following 
information for publication in a major local newspaper of general 
circulation and send a copy of the notice to the appropriate units of 
State and local government. The owner and operator must provide to the 
Director with the certification of precompliance evidence of submitting 
the notice for publication. The notice, which shall be entitled ``Notice 
of Certification of Precompliance with Hazardous Waste Burning 
Requirements of 40 CFR 266.103(b)'', must include:
    (i) Name and address of the owner and operator of the facility as 
well as the location of the device burning hazardous waste;
    (ii) Date that the certification of precompliance is submitted to 
the Director;

Cl2;
    (iv) Types and quantities of hazardous waste burned including, but 
not limited to, source, whether solids or liquids, as well as an 
appropriate description of the waste;
    (v) Type of device(s) in which the hazardous waste is burned 
including a physical description and maximum production rate of each 
device;
    (vi) Types and quantities of other fuels and industrial furnace 
feedstocks fed to each unit;
    (vii) Brief description of the basis for this certification of 
precompliance as specified in paragraph (b)(2) of this section;
    (viii) Locations where the record for the facility can be viewed and 
copied by interested parties. These records and locations shall at a 
minimum include:
    (A) The administrative record kept by the Ageny office where the 
supporting documentation was submitted or another location designated by 
the Director; and
    (B) The BIF correspondence file kept at the facility site where the 
device is located. The correspondence file must include all 
correspondence between the facility and the Director, State and local 
regulatory officials, including copies of all certifications and 
notifications, such as the precompliance certification, precompliance 
public notice, notice of compliance testing, compliance test report, 
compliance certification, time extension requests and approvals or 
denials, enforcement notifications of violations, and copies of EPA and 
State site visit reports submitted to the owner or operator.

through xiii) of this section are installed and operating in conformance 
with vendor specifications or (for CO, HC, and oxygen) specifications 
provided by appendix IX of this part, as appropriate, the parameters 
shall be continuously monitored and records shall be maintained in the 
operating record.
    (8) Revised certification of precom pliance. The owner or operator 
may revise at any time the information and operating conditions 
documented under paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this section in the 
certification of pre com pli ance by submitting a revised cer tif i 
cation of pre com pliance under procedures provided by those paragraphs.
    (i) The public notice requirements of paragraph (b)(6) of this 
section do not apply to recertifications.

information, the information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge 
and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are 
significant penalties for submitting false information, including the 
possibility of fine and imprisonment for knowing violations.
    I also acknowledge that the operating limits established in this 
certification pursuant to Sec. 266.103(b) (3) and (4) are enforceable 
limits at which the facility can legally operate during interim status 
until: (1) A revised certification of precompliance is submitted, (2) a 
certification of compliance is submitted, or (3) an operating permit is 
issued.''

    (c) Certification of compliance. The owner or operator shall conduct 
emissions testing to document compliance with the emissions standards of 
Sec. Sec. 266.104 (b) through (e), 266.105, 266.106, 266.107, and

    (2) Prior notice of compliance testing. At least 30 days prior to 
the compliance testing required by paragraph (c)(3) of this section, the 
owner or operator shall notify the Director and submit the following 
information:
    (i) General facility information including:
    (A) EPA facility ID number;
    (B) Facility name, contact person, telephone number, and address;
    (C) Person responsible for conducting compliance test, including 
company name, address, and telephone number, and a statement of 
qualifications;
    (D) Planned date of the compliance test;
    (ii) Specific information on each device to be tested including:
    (A) Description of boiler or industrial furnace;
    (B) A scaled plot plan showing the entire facility and location of 
the boiler or industrial furnace;
    (C) A description of the air pollution control system;
    (D) Identification of the continuous emission monitors that are 
installed, including:
    (1) Carbon monoxide monitor;
    (2) Oxygen monitor;
    (3) Hydrocarbon monitor, specifying the minimum temperature of the 
system and, if the temperature is less than 150 [deg]C, an explanation 
of why a heated system is not used (see paragraph (c)(5) of this 
section) and a brief description of the sample gas conditioning system;
    (E) Indication of whether the stack is shared with another device 
that will be in operation during the compliance test;
    (F) Other information useful to an understanding of the system 
design or operation.
    (iii) Information on the testing planned, including a complete copy 
of the test protocol and Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) plan, 
and a summary description for each test providing the following 
information at a minimum:
    (A) Purpose of the test (e.g., demonstrate compliance with emissions 
of particulate matter); and
    (B) Planned operating conditions, including levels for each 
pertinent parameter specified in paragraph (c)(1) of this section.
    (3) Compliance testing--(i) General. Compliance testing must be 
conducted under conditions for which the owner or operator has submitted 
a certification of precompliance under paragraph (b) of this section and 
under conditions established in the notification of compliance testing 
required by paragraph (c)(2) of this section. The owner or operator may 
seek approval on a case-by-case basis to use compliance test data from 
one unit in lieu of testing a similar onsite unit. To support the 
request, the owner or operator must provide a comparison of the 
hazardous waste burned and other feedstreams, and the design, operation, 
and maintenance of both the tested unit and the similar unit. The 
Director shall provide a written approval to use compliance test data in 
lieu of testing a similar unit if he finds that the hazardous wastes, 
the devices, and the operating conditions are sufficiently similar, and 
the data from the other compliance test is adequate to meet the 
requirements of Sec. 266.103(c).
    (ii) Special requirements for industrial furnaces that recycle 
collected PM. Owners and operators of industrial furnaces that recycle 
back into the furnace particulate matter (PM) from the air pollution 
control system must comply with one of the following procedures for 
testing to determine compliance with the metals standards of Sec. 
266.106(c) or (d):
    (A) The special testing requirements prescribed in ``Alternative 
Method for Implementing Metals Controls'' in appendix IX of this part; 
or
    (B) Stack emissions testing for a minimum of 6 hours each day while 
hazardous waste is burned during interim status. The testing must be 
conducted when burning normal hazardous waste for that day at normal 
feed rates for that day and when the air pollution control system is 
operated under normal conditions. During interim status, hazardous waste 
analysis for metals content must be sufficient for the owner or operator 
to determine if changes in metals content may affect the ability of the 
facility to meet the

[[Page 29]]

metals emissions standards established under Sec. 266.106(c) or (d). 
Under this option, operating limits (under paragraph (c)(1) of this 
section) must be established during compliance testing under paragraph 
(c)(3) of this section only on the following parameters;
    (1) Feed rate of total hazardous waste;
    (2) Total feed rate of chlorine and chloride in total feed streams;
    (3) Total feed rate of ash in total feed streams, except that the 
ash feed rate for cement kilns and light-weight aggregate kilns is not 
limited;
    (4) Carbon monoxide concentration, and where required, hydrocarbon 
concentration in stack gas;
    (5) Maximum production rate of the device in appropriate units when 
producing normal product; or
    (C) Conduct compliance testing to determine compliance with the 
metals standards to establish limits on the operating parameters of 
paragraph (c)(1) of this section only after the kiln system has been 
conditioned to enable it to reach equilibrium with respect to metals fed 
into the system and metals emissions. During conditioning, hazardous 
waste and raw materials having the same metals content as will be fed 
during the compliance test must be fed at the feed rates that will be 
fed during the compliance test.
    (iii) Conduct of compliance testing. (A) If compliance with all 
applicable emissions standards of Sec. Sec. 266.104 through 266.107 is 
not demonstrated simultaneously during a set of test runs, the operating 
conditions of additional test runs required to demonstrate compliance 
with remaining emissions standards must be as close as possible to the 
original operating conditions.
    (B) Prior to obtaining test data for purposes of demonstrating 
compliance with the applicable emissions standards of Sec. Sec. 266.104 
through 266.107 or establishing limits on operating parameters under 
this section, the facility must operate under compliance test conditions 
for a sufficient period to reach steady-state operations. Industrial 
furnaces that recycle collected particulate matter back into the furnace 
and that comply with paragraphs (c)(3)(ii)(A) or (B) of this section, 
however, need not reach steady state conditions with respect to the flow 
of metals in the system prior to beginning compliance testing for 
metals.
    (C) Compliance test data on the level of an operating parameter for 
which a limit must be established in the certification of compliance 
must be obtained during emissions sampling for the pollutant(s) (i.e., 
metals, PM, HCl/Cl2, organic compounds) for which the 
parameter must be established as specified by paragraph (c)(1) of this 
section.
    (4) Certification of compliance. Within 90 days of completing 
compliance testing, the owner or operator must certify to the Director 
compliance with the emissions standards of Sec. Sec. 266.104 (b), (c), 
and (e), 266.105, 266.106, 266.107, and paragraph (a)(5)(i)(D) of this 
section. The certification of compliance must include the following 
information:
    (i) General facility and testing information including:
    (A) EPA facility ID number;
    (B) Facility name, contact person, telephone number, and address;
    (C) Person responsible for conducting compliance testing, including 
company name, address, and telephone number, and a statement of 
qualifications;
    (D) Date(s) of each compliance test;
    (E) Description of boiler or industrial furnace tested;
    (F) Person responsible for quality assurance/quality control (QA/
QC), title, and telephone number, and statement that procedures 
prescribed in the QA/QC plan submitted under Sec. 266.103(c)(2)(iii) 
have been followed, or a description of any changes and an explanation 
of why changes were necessary.
    (G) Description of any changes in the unit configuration prior to or 
during testing that would alter any of the information submitted in the 
prior notice of compliance testing under paragraph (c)(2) of this 
section, and an explanation of why the changes were necessary;
    (H) Description of any changes in the planned test conditions prior 
to or during the testing that alter any of the information submitted in 
the prior notice of compliance testing under paragraph (c)(2) of this 
section, and an explanation of why the changes were necessary; and

[[Page 30]]

    (I) The complete report on results of emissions testing.
    (ii) Specific information on each test including:
    (A) Purpose(s) of test (e.g., demonstrate conformance with the 
emissions limits for particulate matter, metals, HCl, Cl2, 
and CO)
    (B) Summary of test results for each run and for each test including 
the following information:
    (1) Date of run;
    (2) Duration of run;
    (3) Time-weighted average and highest hourly rolling average CO 
level for each run and for the test;
    (4) Highest hourly rolling average HC level, if HC monitoring is 
required for each run and for the test;
    (5) If dioxin and furan testing is required under Sec. 266.104(e), 
time-weighted average emissions for each run and for the test of 
chlorinated dioxin and furan emissions, and the predicted maximum annual 
average ground level concentration of the toxicity equivalency factor;
    (6) Time-weighted average particulate matter emissions for each run 
and for the test;
    (7) Time-weighted average HCl and Cl2 emissions for each 
run and for the test;
    (8) Time-weighted average emissions for the metals subject to 
regulation under Sec. 266.106 for each run and for the test; and
    (9) QA/QC results.
    (iii) Comparison of the actual emissions during each test with the 
emissions limits prescribed by Sec. Sec. 266.104 (b), (c), and (e), 
266.105, 266.106, and 266.107 and established for the facility in the 
certification of precompliance under paragraph (b) of this section.
    (iv) Determination of operating limits based on all valid runs of 
the compliance test for each applicable parameter listed in paragraph 
(c)(1) of this section using either of the following procedures:
    (A) Instantaneous limits. A parameter may be measured and recorded 
on an instantaneous basis (i.e., the value that occurs at any time) and 
the operating limit specified as the time-weighted average during all 
runs of the compliance test; or
    (B) Hourly rolling average basis. (1) The limit for a parameter may 
be established and continuously monitored on an hourly rolling average 
basis defined as follows:
    (i) A continuous monitor is one which continuously samples the 
regulated parameter without interruption, and evaluates the detector 
response at least once each 15 seconds, and computes and records the 
average value at least every 60 seconds.
    (ii) An hourly rolling average is the arithmetic mean of the 60 most 
recent 1-minute average values recorded by the continuous monitoring 
system.
    (2) The operating limit for the parameter shall be established based 
on compliance test data as the average over all test runs of the highest 
hourly rolling average value for each run.
    (C) Rolling average limits for carcinogenic metals and lead. Feed 
rate limits for the carcinogenic metals (i.e., arsenic, beryllium, 
cadmium and chromium) and lead may be established either on an hourly 
rolling average basis as prescribed by paragraph (c)(4)(iv)(B) of this 
section or on (up to) a 24 hour rolling average basis. If the owner or 
operator elects to use an averaging period from 2 to 24 hours:
    (1) The feed rate of each metal shall be limited at any time to ten 
times the feed rate that would be allowed on a hourly rolling average 
basis;
    (2) The continuous monitor shall meet the following specifications:
    (i) A continuous monitor is one which continuously samples the 
regulated parameter without interruption, and evaluates the detector 
response at least once each 15 seconds, and computes and records the 
average value at least every 60 seconds.
    (ii) The rolling average for the selected averaging period is 
defined as arithmetic mean of one hour block averages for the averaging 
period. A one hour block average is the arithmetic mean of the one 
minute averages recorded during the 60-minute period beginning at one 
minute after the beginning of preceding clock hour; and
    (3) The operating limit for the feed rate of each metal shall be 
established based on compliance test data as the average over all test 
runs of the highest hourly rolling average feed rate for each run.

[[Page 31]]

    (D) Feed rate limits for metals, total chloride and chlorine, and 
ash. Feed rate limits for metals, total chlorine and chloride, and ash 
are established and monitored by knowing the concentration of the 
substance (i.e., metals, chloride/chlorine, and ash) in each feedstream 
and the flow rate of the feedstream. To monitor the feed rate of these 
substances, the flow rate of each feedstream must be monitored under the 
continuous monitoring requirements of paragraphs (c)(4)(iv) (A) through 
(C) of this section.
    (v) Certification of compliance statement. The following statement 
shall accompany the certification of compliance:

    ``I certify under penalty of law that this information was prepared 
under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed 
to ensure that qualified personnel properly gathered and evaluated the 
information and supporting documentation. Copies of all emissions tests, 
dispersion modeling results and other information used to determine 
conformance with the requirements of Sec. 266.103(c) are available at 
the facility and can be obtained from the facility contact person listed 
above. Based on my inquiry of the person or persons who manages the 
facility, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the 
information, the information submitted is, to the best of my knowledge 
and belief, true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are 
significant penalties for submitting false information, including the 
possibility of fine and imprisonment for knowing violations.
    I also acknowledge that the operating conditions established in this 
certification pursuant to Sec. 266.103(c)(4)(iv) are enforceable limits 
at which the facility can legally operate during interim status until a 
revised certification of compliance is submitted.''

    (5) Special requirements for HC monitoring systems. When an owner or 
operator is required to comply with the hydrocarbon (HC) controls 
provided by Sec. 266.104(c) or paragraph (a)(5)(i)(D) of this section, 
a conditioned gas monitoring system may be used in conformance with 
specifications provided in appendix IX of this part provided that the 
owner or operator submits a certification of compliance without using 
extensions of time provided by paragraph (c)(7) of this section.
    (6) Special operating requirements for industrial furnaces that 
recycle collected PM. Owners and operators of industrial furnaces that 
recycle back into the furnace particulate matter (PM) from the air 
pollution control system must:
    (i) When complying with the requirements of paragraph (c)(3)(ii)(A) 
of this section, comply with the operating requirements prescribed in 
``Alternative Method to Implement the Metals Controls'' in appendix IX 
of this part; and
    (ii) When complying with the requirements of paragraph (c)(3)(ii)(B) 
of this section, comply with the op er a ting requirements prescribed by 
that paragraph.
    (7) Extensions of time. (i) If the owner or operator does not submit 
a complete certification of compliance for all of the applicable 
emissions standards of Sec. Sec. 266.104, 266.105, 266.106, and 266.107 
by August 21, 1992, he/she must either:
    (A) Stop burning hazardous waste and begin closure activities under 
paragraph (l) of this section for the hazardous waste portion of the 
facility; or
    (B) Limit hazardous waste burning only for purposes of compliance 
testing (and pretesting to prepare for compliance testing) a total 
period of 720 hours for the period of time beginning August 21, 1992, 
submit a notification to the Director by August 21, 1992 stating that 
the facility is operating under restricted interim status and intends to 
resume burning hazardous waste, and submit a complete certification of 
compliance by August 23, 1993; or
    (C) Obtain a case-by-case extension of time under paragraph 
(c)(7)(ii) of this section.
    (ii) The owner or operator may request a case-by-case extension of 
time to extend any time limit provided by paragraph (c) of this section 
if compliance with the time limit is not practicable for reasons beyond 
the control of the owner or operator.
    (A) In granting an extension, the Director may apply conditions as 
the facts warrant to ensure timely compliance with the requirements of 
this section and that the facility operates in a manner that does not 
pose a hazard to human health and the environment;
    (B) When an owner or operator requests an extension of time to 
enable the facility to comply with the alternative hydrocarbon 
provisions of

[[Page 32]]

Sec. 266.104(f) and obtain a RCRA operating permit because the facility 
cannot meet the HC limit of Sec. 266.104(c) of this chapter:
    (1) The Director shall, in considering whether to grant the 
extension:
    (i) Determine whether the owner and operator have submitted in a 
timely manner a complete part B permit application that includes 
information required under Sec. 270.22(b) of this chapter; and
    (ii) Consider whether the owner and operator have made a good faith 
effort to certify compliance with all other emission controls, including 
the controls on dioxins and furans of Sec. 266.104(e) and the controls 
on PM, metals, and HCl/Cl2.
    (2) If an extension is granted, the Director shall, as a condition 
of the extension, require the facility to operate under flue gas 
concentration limits on CO and HC that, based on available information, 
including information in the part B permit application, are baseline CO 
and HC levels as defined by Sec. 266.104(f)(1).
    (8) Revised certification of compliance. The owner or operator may 
submit at any time a revised certification of compliance 
(recertification of compliance) under the following procedures:
    (i) Prior to submittal of a revised certification of compliance, 
hazardous waste may not be burned for more than a total of 720 hours 
under operating conditions that exceed those established under a current 
certification of compliance, and such burning may be conducted only for 
purposes of determining whether the facility can operate under revised 
conditions and continue to meet the applicable emissions standards of 
Sec. Sec. 266.104, 266.105, 266.106, and 266.107;
    (ii) At least 30 days prior to first burning hazardous waste under 
operating conditions that exceed those established under a current 
certification of compliance, the owner or operator shall notify the 
Director and submit the following information:
    (A) EPA facility ID number, and facility name, contact person, 
telephone number, and address;
    (B) Operating conditions that the owner or operator is seeking to 
revise and description of the changes in facility design or operation 
that prompted the need to seek to revise the operating conditions;
    (C) A determination that when operating under the revised operating 
conditions, the applicable emissions standards of Sec. Sec. 266.104, 
266.105, 266.106, and 266.107 are not likely to be exceeded. To document 
this determination, the owner or operator shall submit the applicable 
information required under paragraph (b)(2) of this section; and
    (D) Complete emissions testing protocol for any pretesting and for a 
new compliance test to determine compliance with the applicable 
emissions standards of Sec. Sec. 266.104, 266.105, 266.106, and 266.107 
when operating under revised operating conditions. The protocol shall 
include a schedule of pre-testing and compliance testing. If the owner 
and operator revises the scheduled date for the compliance test, he/she 
shall notify the Director in writing at least 30 days prior to the 
revised date of the compliance test;
    (iii) Conduct a compliance test under the revised operating 
conditions and the protocol submitted to the Director to determine 
compliance with the applicable emissions standards of Sec. Sec. 
266.104, 266.105, 266.106, and 266.107; and
    (iv) Submit a revised certification of compliance under paragraph 
(c)(4) of this section.
    (d) Periodic Recertifications. The owner or operator must conduct 
compliance testing and submit to the Director a recertification of 
compliance under provisions of paragraph (c) of this section within 
three years from submitting the previous certification or 
recertification. If the owner or operator seeks to recertify compliance 
under new operating conditions, he/she must comply with the requirements 
of paragraph (c)(8) of this section.
    (e) Noncompliance with certification schedule. If the owner or 
operator does not comply with the interim status compliance schedule 
provided by paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) of this section, hazardous 
waste burning must terminate on the date that the deadline is missed, 
closure activities must begin under paragraph (l) of this section, and 
hazardous waste burning may not resume except under an operating permit

[[Page 33]]

issued under Sec. 270.66 of this chapter. For purposes of compliance 
with the closure provisions of paragraph (l) of this section and 
Sec. Sec. 265.112(d)(2) and 265.113 of this chapter the boiler or 
industrial furnace has received ``the known final volume of hazardous 
waste'' on the date that the deadline is missed.
    (f) Start-up and shut-down. Hazardous waste (except waste fed solely 
as an ingredient under the Tier I (or adjusted Tier I) feed rate 
screening limits for metals and chloride/chlorine) must not be fed into 
the device during start-up and shut-down of the boiler or industrial 
furnace, unless the device is operating within the conditions of 
operation specified in the certification of compliance.
    (g) Automatic waste feed cutoff. During the compliance test required 
by paragraph (c)(3) of this section, and upon certification of 
compliance under paragraph (c) of this section, a boiler or industrial 
furnace must be operated with a functioning system that automatically 
cuts off the hazardous waste feed when the applicable operating 
conditions specified in paragraphs (c)(1) (i) and (v through xiii) of 
this section deviate from those established in the certification of 
compliance. In addition:
    (1) To minimize emissions of organic compounds, the minimum 
combustion chamber temperature (or the indicator of combustion chamber 
temperature) that occurred during the compliance test must be maintained 
while hazardous waste or hazardous waste residues remain in the 
combustion chamber, with the minimum temperature during the compliance 
test defined as either:
    (i) If compliance with the combustion chamber temperature limit is 
based on a hourly rolling average, the minimum temperature during the 
compliance test is considered to be the average over all runs of the 
lowest hourly rolling average for each run; or
    (ii) If compliance with the combustion chamber temperature limit is 
based on an instantaneous temperature measurement, the minimum 
temperature during the compliance test is considered to be the time-
weighted average temperature during all runs of the test; and
    (2) Operating parameters limited by the certification of compliance 
must continue to be monitored during the cutoff, and the hazardous waste 
feed shall not be restarted until the levels of those parameters comply 
with the limits established in the certification of compliance.
    (h) Fugitive emissions. Fugitive emissions must be controlled by:
    (1) Keeping the combustion zone totally sealed against fugitive 
emissions; or
    (2) Maintaining the combustion zone pressure lower than atmospheric 
pressure; or
    (3) An alternate means of control that the owner or operator can 
demonstrate provide fugitive emissions control equivalent to maintenance 
of combustion zone pressure lower than atmospheric pressure. Support for 
such demonstration shall be included in the operating record.
    (i) Changes. A boiler or industrial furnace must cease burning 
hazardous waste when changes in combustion properties, or feed rates of 
the hazardous waste, other fuels, or industrial furnace feedstocks, or 
changes in the boiler or industrial furnace design or operating 
conditions deviate from the limits specified in the certification of 
compliance.
    (j) Monitoring and Inspections. (1) The owner or operator must 
monitor and record the following, at a minimum, while burning hazardous 
waste:
    (i) Feed rates and composition of haz ard ous waste, other fuels, 
and industrial furnace feed stocks, and feed rates of ash, metals, and 
total chloride and chlorine as necessary to ensure con for mance with 
the cer tif i ca tion of pre com pli ance or certification of 
compliance;
    (ii) Carbon monoxide (CO), oxygen, and if applicable, hydrocarbons 
(HC), on a continuous basis at a common point in the boiler or 
industrial furnace downstream of the combustion zone and prior to 
release of stack gases to the atmosphere in accordance with the 
operating limits specified in the certification of compliance. CO, HC, 
and oxygen monitors must be installed, operated, and maintained in 
accordance with methods specified in appendix IX of this part.

[[Page 34]]

    (iii) Upon the request of the Director, sampling and analysis of the 
hazardous waste (and other fuels and industrial furnace feed stocks as 
appropriate) and the stack gas emissions must be conducted to verify 
that the operating conditions established in the certification of 
precompliance or certification of compliance achieve the applicable 
standards of Sec. Sec. 266.104, 266.105, 266.106, and 266.107.
    (2) The boiler or industrial furnace and associated equipment 
(pumps, valves, pipes, fuel storage tanks, etc.) must be subjected to 
thorough visual inspection when they contain hazardous waste, at least 
daily for leaks, spills, fugitive emissions, and signs of tampering.
    (3) The automatic hazardous waste feed cutoff system and associated 
alarms must be tested at least once every 7 days when hazardous waste is 
burned to verify operability, unless the owner or operator can 
demonstrate that weekly inspections will unduly restrict or upset 
operations and that less frequent inspections will be adequate. Support 
for such demonstration shall be included in the operating record. At a 
minimum, operational testing must be conducted at least once every 30 
days.
    (4) These monitoring and inspection data must be recorded and the 
records must be placed in the operating log.
    (k) Recordkeeping. The owner or operator must keep in the operating 
record of the facility all information and data required by this section 
until closure of the boiler or industrial furnace unit.
    (l) Closure. At closure, the owner or operator must remove all 
hazardous waste and hazardous waste residues (including, but not limited 
to, ash, scrubber waters, and scrubber sludges) from the boiler or 
industrial furnace and must comply with Sec. Sec. 265.111-265.115 of
