NR 666.103(3)(b)3.b. b. Planned operating conditions, including levels for each pertinent parameter specified in par. (a).
NR 666.103(3)(c) (c) Compliance testing.
NR 666.103(3)(c)1.1. `General.' Compliance testing shall be conducted under conditions for which the owner or operator has submitted a certification of precompliance under sub. (2) and under conditions established in the notification of compliance testing required by par. (b). 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 shall 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 department shall provide a written approval to use compliance test data in lieu of testing a similar unit if it 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 this subsection.
NR 666.103(3)(c)2. 2. `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 shall comply with one of the following procedures for testing to determine compliance with the metals standards of s. NR 666.106 (3) or (4):
NR 666.103(3)(c)2.a. a. The special testing requirements prescribed in “Alternative Method for Implementing Metals Controls" in ch. NR 666 Appendix IX.
NR 666.103(3)(c)2.b. b. Stack emissions testing for a minimum of 6 hours each day while hazardous waste is burned during an interim license. The testing shall 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 an interim license, hazardous waste analysis for metals content shall be sufficient for the owner or operator to determine if changes in metals content may affect the ability of the facility to meet the metals emissions standards established under s. NR 666.106 (3) or (4). Under this option, operating limits (under par. (a)) shall be established during compliance testing under this paragraph 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.
NR 666.103(3)(c)2.c. c. Conduct compliance testing to determine compliance with the metals standards to establish limits on the operating parameters of par. (a) 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 shall be fed at the feed rates that will be fed during the compliance test.
NR 666.103(3)(c)3. 3. `Conduct of compliance testing.'
NR 666.103(3)(c)3.a.a. If compliance with all applicable emissions standards of ss.

NR 666.103(3)(c)3.b. b. Prior to obtaining test data for purposes of demonstrating compliance with the applicable emissions standards of ss. NR 666.104 to 666.107 or establishing limits on operating parameters under this section, the facility shall 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 subd. 2. a. or b., however, need not reach steady state conditions with respect to the flow of metals in the system prior to beginning compliance testing for metals.
NR 666.103(3)(c)3.c. c. Compliance test data on the level of an operating parameter for which a limit shall be established in the certification of compliance shall be obtained during emissions sampling for the pollutant or pollutants (i.e., metals, PM, HCl/Cl2, organic compounds) for which the parameter shall be established as specified by par. (a).
NR 666.103(3)(d) (d) Certification of compliance. Within 90 days of completing compliance testing, the owner or operator shall certify to the department compliance with the emissions standards of ss.

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 subd. 4. 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:
1) The feed rate of each metal shall be limited at any time to 10 times the feed rate that would be allowed on a hourly rolling average basis.
2) The continuous monitor shall meet the following specifications:

“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 s. NR 666.103 (3) 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 s. NR 666.103 (3) (d) 4. are enforceable limits at which the facility can legally operate during an interim license until a revised certification of compliance is submitted."
NR 666.103(3)(e) (e) Special requirements for HC monitoring systems. When an owner or operator is required to comply with the hydrocarbon (HC) controls provided by s. NR 666.104 (3) or sub.

NR 665.0112 (4) (b) and 665.0113 the boiler or industrial furnace has received “the known final volume of hazardous waste" on the date that the deadline is missed.
NR 666.103(6) (6) Startup and shutdown. 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 and chlorine) may not be fed into the device during startup and shutdown of the boiler or industrial furnace, unless the device is operating within the conditions of operation specified in the certification of compliance.
NR 666.103(7) (7) Automatic waste feed cutoff. During the compliance test required by sub. (3) (c), and upon certification of compliance under sub. (3), a boiler or industrial furnace shall be operated with a functioning system that automatically cuts off the hazardous waste feed when the applicable operating conditions specified in sub.
