Title: NSPS and Emission Guidelines for Other Solid Waste Incinerators | |
Abstract: Section 129 of the Clean Air Act requires the EPA to promulgate New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for new sources and Emission Guidelines (EG) for existing sources for solid waste incinerators. On November 30, 2005, EPA finalized rules to reduce emissions from the category of incinerators known as "other solid waste incinerators" (OSWI). OSWI consists of two classes of incinerators: (1) institutional waste incinerators and (2) very small municipal waste combustors. Institutional waste incinerators are located at institutions (e.g., public or private school; college or university; church or civic organization; fire or police department; town, city, county, State or Federal government; etc.) which burns waste generated at that institution. Very small municipal waste combustors are incinerators which burn less than 35 tons per day of municipal solid waste. Municipal solid waste is nonhazardous solid waste or refuse collected from residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial sources. The final rules regulate particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, lead, cadmium, mercury, dioxins, as well as opacity. | |
