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.  266.105  Standards to control particulate matter.



    (a) A boiler or industrial furnace 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) after correction 

to a stack gas concentration of 7% oxygen, using procedures prescribed 

in 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, methods 1 through 5, and appendix IX of 

this part.

    (b) An owner or operator meeting the requirements of Sec.  

266.109(b) for the low risk waste exemption is exempt from the 

particulate matter standard.

    (c) Oxygen correction. (1) Measured pollutant levels must be 

corrected for the amount of oxygen in the stack gas according to the 

formula:

Where:



Pc is the corrected concentration of the pollutant in the stack gas, Pm 

is the measured concentration of the pollutant in the stack gas, E is 

the oxygen concentration on a dry basis in the combustion air fed to the 

device, and Y is the measured oxygen concentration on a dry basis in the 

stack.



    (2) For devices that feed normal combustion air, E will equal 21 

percent. For devices that feed oxygen-enriched air for combustion (that 

is, air with an oxygen concentration exceeding 21 percent), the value of 

E will be the concentration of oxygen in the enriched air.

    (3) Compliance with all emission standards provided by this subpart 

must be based on correcting to 7 percent oxygen using this procedure.

    (d) For the purposes of permit enforcement, compliance with the 

operating requirements specified in the permit (under Sec.  266.102) 

will be regarded as compliance with this section. However, evidence that 

compliance with those permit conditions is insufficient to ensure 

compliance with the requirements of this section may be ``information'' 

justifying modification or revocation and re-issuance of a permit under 

Sec.  270.41 of this chapter.
