§ 60.50 - Applicability and designation of affected facility.
(a) The provisions of this subpart are applicable to each incinerator of more than 45 metric tons per day charging rate (50 tons/day), which is the affected facility.
(b) Any facility under paragraph (a) of this section that commences construction or modification after August 17, 1971, is subject to the requirements of this subpart.
(c) Any facility covered by subpart Cb, Eb, AAAA, or BBBB of this part is not covered by this subpart.
(d) Any facility covered by an EPA approved State section 111(d)/129 plan implementing subpart Cb or BBBB of this part is not covered by this subpart.
(e) Any facility covered by subpart FFF or JJJ of part 62 of this title (Federal section 111(d)/129 plan implementing subpart Cb or BBBB of this part) is not covered by this subpart.
§ 60.51 - Definitions.
As used in this subpart, all terms not defined herein shall have the meaning given them in the Act and in subpart A of this part.
(a) Incinerator means any furnace used in the process of burning solid waste for the purpose of reducing the volume of the waste by removing combustible matter.
(b) Solid waste means refuse, more than 50 percent of which is municipal type waste consisting of a mixture of paper, wood, yard wastes, food wastes, plastics, leather, rubber, and other combustibles, and noncombustible materials such as glass and rock.
(c) Day means 24 hours.
§ 60.52 - Standard for particulate matter.
(a) On and after the date on which the initial performance test is completed or required to be completed under § 60.8 of this part, whichever date comes first, no owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall cause to be discharged into the atmosphere from any affected facility any gases which contain particulate matter in excess of 0.18 g/dscm (0.08 gr/dscf) corrected to 12 percent CO
§ 60.53 - Monitoring of operations.
(a) The owner or operator of any incinerator subject to the provisions of this part shall record the daily charging rates and hours of operation.
§ 60.54 - Test methods and procedures.
(a) In conducting the performance tests required in § 60.8, the owner or operator shall use as reference methods and procedures the test methods in appendix A of this part or other methods and procedures as specified in this section, except as provided in § 60.8(b).
(b) The owner or operator shall determine compliance with the particulate matter standard in § 60.52 as follows:
(1) The concentration (c
(2) Method 5 shall be used to determine the particulate matter concentration (c
(3) The emission rate correction factor, integrated or grab sampling and analysis procedure of Method 3B shall be used to determine CO
(i) The CO
(ii) If sampling is conducted after a wet scrubber, an “adjusted” CO
(c) The owner or operator may use either of the following procedures to determine the adjusted CO
(1) The volumetric flow rates at the inlet and outlet of the wet scrubber and the inlet CO
(i) At the outlet, Method 5 is used to determine the volumetric flow rate (Q
(ii) At the inlet, Method 2 is used to determine the volumetric flow rate (Q
(iii) At the inlet, the emission rate correction factor, integrated sampling and analysis procedure of Method 3B is used to determine the CO
(2) Excess air measurements may be used to determine the adjusted CO
(i) A gas sample is collected as in paragraph (c)(1)(iii) of this section and the gas samples at both the inlet and outlet locations are analyzed for CO
(ii) Equation 3B-3 of Method 3B is used to compute the percentages of excess air at the inlet and outlet of the wet scrubber.
