subch. O of ch. NR 664 Subchapter O — Incinerators
NR 664.0340 NR 664.0340Applicability.
NR 664.0340(1)(1)This subchapter applies to owners and operators of hazardous waste incinerators (as defined in s. NR 660.10), except as s. NR 664.0001 provides otherwise.
NR 664.0340(2)(a)(a) Except as provided by pars. (b) to (d), the standards of this subchapter do not apply to a new hazardous waste incineration unit that becomes subject to hazardous waste license requirements after October 12, 2005, and no longer apply when an owner or operator of an existing hazardous waste incineration unit demonstrates compliance with the maximum achievable control technology (MACT) requirements of 40 CFR part 63, subpart EEE, by conducting a comprehensive performance test and submitting proof of a postmarked notification of compliance to the department under 40 CFR 63.1207 (j) and 63.1210 (d) documenting compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart EEE. Nevertheless, even after this demonstration of compliance with the MACT standards, hazardous waste license conditions that were based on the standards of this chapter will continue to be in effect until the department removes them from the license or denies, suspends or revokes the license, unless the license expressly provides otherwise.
NR 664.0340(2)(b) (b) The MACT standards do not replace the closure requirements of s. NR 664.0351 or the applicable requirements of subchs. A to H, BB and CC.
NR 664.0340(2)(c) (c) The particulate matter standard of s. NR 664.0343 (3) remains in effect for incinerators that elect to comply with the alternative to the particulate matter standard of 40 CFR 63.1206 (b) (14) and 63.1219 (e).
NR 664.0340(2)(d) (d) All of the following requirements remain in effect for startup, shutdown and malfunction events if the owner or operator elects to comply with s. NR 670.235 (1) (a) 1. to minimize emissions of toxic compounds from these events:
NR 664.0340(2)(d)1. 1. Section NR 664.0345 (1) requiring that an incinerator operate according to operating requirements specified in the license.
NR 664.0340(2)(d)2. 2. Section NR 664.0345 (3) requiring compliance with the emission standards and operating requirements during startup and shutdown if hazardous waste is in the combustion chamber, except for particular hazardous wastes.
NR 664.0340(3) (3)After consideration of the waste analysis included with the feasibility and plan of operation report, the department, in establishing the license conditions, shall exempt the applicant from this subchapter except ss. NR 664.0341 and 664.0351, if all of the following conditions are met:
NR 664.0340(3)(a) (a) The department finds that the waste to be burned is one of the following:
NR 664.0340(3)(a)1. 1. Listed as a hazardous waste in subch. D of ch. NR 661 solely because it is ignitable (hazard code I), corrosive (hazard code C) or both.
NR 664.0340(3)(a)2. 2. Listed as a hazardous waste in subch. D of ch. NR 661 solely because it is reactive (hazard code R) for characteristics other than those in s. NR 661.0023 (1) (d) and (e), and will not be burned when other hazardous wastes are present in the combustion zone.
NR 664.0340(3)(a)3. 3. A hazardous waste solely because it possesses the characteristic of ignitability, corrosivity or both, as determined by the test for characteristics of hazardous wastes under subch. C of ch. NR 661.
NR 664.0340(3)(a)4. 4. A hazardous waste solely because it possesses any of the reactivity characteristics in s. NR 661.0023 (1) (a), (b), (c), (f), (g) and (h), and will not be burned when other hazardous wastes are present in the combustion zone.
NR 664.0340(3)(b) (b) The waste analysis shows that the waste contains none of the hazardous constituents in ch. NR 661 Appendix VIII, which would reasonably be expected to be in the waste.
NR 664.0340(4) (4)If the waste to be burned is one which is described by sub. (3) (a) 1., 2., 3. or 4. and contains insignificant concentrations of the hazardous constituents in ch. NR 661 Appendix VIII, then the department may, in establishing license conditions, exempt the applicant from all requirements of this subchapter, except ss. NR 664.0341 and 664.0351, after consideration of the waste analysis included with the feasibility and plan of operation report, unless the department finds that the waste will pose a threat to human health and the environment when burned in an incinerator.
NR 664.0340(5) (5)The owner or operator of an incinerator may conduct trial burns subject only to s. NR 670.062.

NR 664.0341 NR 664.0341Waste analysis.
NR 664.0341(1)(1)As a portion of the trial burn plan required by s. NR 670.062, or with the feasibility and plan of operation report, the owner or operator shall have included an analysis of the waste feed sufficient to provide all information required by s. NR 670.062 (2) or 670.019. Owners or operators of new hazardous waste incinerators shall provide the information required by s. NR 670.062 (3) or 670.019 to the greatest extent possible.
NR 664.0341(2) (2)Throughout normal operation the owner or operator shall conduct sufficient waste analysis to verify that waste feed to the incinerator is within the physical and chemical composition limits specified in the owner or operator's license (under s. NR 664.0345 (2)).
NR 664.0341 History History: CR 05-032: cr. Register July 2006 No. 607, eff. 8-1-06.
NR 664.0342 NR 664.0342Principal organic hazardous constituents (POHCs).
NR 664.0342(1)(1)The owner or operator shall treat principal organic hazardous constituents (POHCs) in the waste feed to the extent required by the performance standard of s. NR 664.0343.
NR 664.0342(2)(a)(a) The department will specify one or more POHCs in the facility's license, from among those constituents in ch. NR 661 Appendix VIII, for each waste feed to be burned. The department will 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 and trial burns or alternative data submitted with the feasibility and plan of operation report. Organic constituents which represent the greatest degree of difficulty of incineration will be those most likely to be designated as POHCs. Constituents are more likely to be designated as POHCs if they are present in large quantities or concentrations in the waste.
NR 664.0342(2)(b) (b) The department will designate trial POHCs for performance of trial burns according to the procedure in s. NR 670.062 for obtaining trial burn plan approvals.
NR 664.0342 History History: CR 05-032: cr. Register July 2006 No. 607, eff. 8-1-06.
NR 664.0343 NR 664.0343Performance standards. The owner or operator shall design, construct and maintain an incinerator burning hazardous waste so that, when operated according to operating requirements specified under s. NR 664.0345, it will meet all of the following performance standards:
NR 664.0343(1)(a)(a) Except as provided in par. (b), an incinerator burning hazardous waste shall achieve a destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of 99.99% for each principal organic hazardous constituent (POHC) designated (under s. NR 664.0342) in its license for each waste feed. Determine the DRE for each POHC using the following equation:
where:
Win = mass feed rate of one principal organic hazardous constituent (POHC) in the waste stream feeding the incinerator
Wout = mass emission rate of the same POHC present in exhaust emissions prior to release to the atmosphere
NR 664.0343(1)(b) (b) An incinerator burning hazardous wastes F020, F021, F022, F023, F026 or F027 shall achieve a destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) of 99.9999% for each principal organic hazardous constituent (POHC) designated (under s. NR 664.0342) in its license. The owner or operator shall demonstrate this performance on POHCs that are more difficult to incinerate than tetra-, penta- and hexachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans. The owner or operator shall determine the DRE for each POHC using the equation in par. (a).
NR 664.0343(2) (2)An incinerator burning hazardous waste and producing stack emissions of more than 1.8 kilograms per hour (4 pounds per hour) of hydrogen chloride (HCl) shall control HCl emissions such that the rate of emission is no greater than the larger of either 1.8 kilograms per hour or 1% of the HCl in the stack gas prior to entering any pollution control equipment.
NR 664.0343(3) (3)An incinerator 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) when corrected for the amount of oxygen in the stack gas according to the formula:
where:
Pc = corrected concentration of particulate matter
Pm = measured concentration of particulate matter
Y = measured concentration of oxygen in the stack gas, using the Orsat method for oxygen analysis of dry flue gas, presented in Method 3 in appendix A of 40 CFR part 60, incorporated by reference in s. NR 660.11
All hazardous waste incinerators except those operating under conditions of oxygen enrichment shall use this correction procedure. For incinerators operating under conditions of oxygen enrichment, the department will select an appropriate correction procedure and specify it in the facility license.
NR 664.0343(4) (4)For purposes of license enforcement, compliance with the operating requirements specified in the license (under s. NR 664.0345) is compliance with this section. However, evidence that compliance with those license conditions is insufficient to ensure compliance with the performance requirements of this section may be “information" justifying modification, revocation or reissuance of a license under s. NR 670.041.
