Abstract:
The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Other Solid Waste Incineration (OSWI) Units (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart EEEE) were proposed on December 9, 2004 (69 FR 71472), promulgated on December 16, 2005 (70 FR 74870), and revised on November 24, 2006 (71 FR 67802). These regulations apply to very small municipal waste combustion units (VSMWC) and institutional waste incineration (IWI) units. A very small municipal waste combustion unit is any municipal waste combustion unit that has the capacity to combust less than 35 tons per day (TPD) of municipal solid waste or refuse-derived fuel. An institutional waste incineration unit is any combustion unit that combusts institutional waste and is a distinct operating unit of the institutional facility that generated the waste. Institutional waste is solid waste that is combusted at any institutional facility using controlled flame combustion in an enclosed, distinct operating unit: whose design does not provide for energy recovery; operated without energy recovery; or operated with only waste heat recovery. Institutional waste also means solid waste combusted on site in an air curtain incinerator that is a distinct operating unit of any institutional facility. A new VSMWC or IWI unit is subject to this subpart if it meets either of two criteria if it has a capacity to combust greater than or equal to 10 TPD of waste: 1) commenced construction after December 9, 2004; or 2) commenced reconstruction or modification on or after June 16, 2006. Under the proposed rule, the EPA provides an additional subcategory of new VSMWC or IWI units that have a capacity to combust less than 10 TPD of waste that are constructed on or after August 30, 2020. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart EEEE. The EPA is proposing to revise 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart EEEE to include new requirements for subcategories of VSMWC or IWI units that have capacities equal to or less than 10 TPD. For units that have capacities equal to or less than 10 TPD, the EPA is proposing revised emission limits and substitute means of compliance demonstration in lieu of initial and annual stack testing, add- on control devices, and CEMS. Additionally, the EPA is proposing to remove the reporting requirements related to periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction, because the emission limits will apply at all times. The EPA is also proposing electronic reporting requirements for submittal of certain reports and performance test results. This ICR only includes the incremental burden associated with the proposed rule.
