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 664.0345, 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.

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.
