                               EXPLANATION

    The Code of Federal Regulations is a codification of the general and 
permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the Executive 
departments and agencies of the Federal Government. The Code is divided 
into 50 titles which represent broad areas subject to Federal 
regulation. Each title is divided into chapters which usually bear the 
name of the issuing agency. Each chapter is further subdivided into 
parts covering specific regulatory areas.
    Each volume of the Code is revised at least once each calendar year 
and issued on a quarterly basis approximately as follows:

Title 1 through Title 16.................................as of January 1
Title 17 through Title 27..................................as of April 1
Title 28 through Title 41...................................as of July 1
Title 42 through Title 50................................as of October 1

    The appropriate revision date is printed on the cover of each 
volume.

LEGAL STATUS

    The contents of the Federal Register are required to be judicially 
noticed (44 U.S.C. 1507). The Code of Federal Regulations is prima facie 
evidence of the text of the original documents (44 U.S.C. 1510).

HOW TO USE THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS

    The Code of Federal Regulations is kept up to date by the individual 
issues of the Federal Register. These two publications must be used 
together to determine the latest version of any given rule.
    To determine whether a Code volume has been amended since its 
revision date (in this case, July 1, 2021), consult the ``List of CFR 
Sections Affected (LSA),'' which is issued monthly, and the ``Cumulative 
List of Parts Affected,'' which appears in the Reader Aids section of 
the daily Federal Register. These two lists will identify the Federal 
Register page number of the latest amendment of any given rule.

EFFECTIVE AND EXPIRATION DATES

    Each volume of the Code contains amendments published in the Federal 
Register since the last revision of that volume of the Code. Source 
citations for the regulations are referred to by volume number and page 
number of the Federal Register and date of publication. Publication 
dates and effective dates are usually not the same and care must be 
exercised by the user in determining the actual effective date. In 
instances where the effective date is beyond the cut-off date for the 
Code a note has been inserted to reflect the future effective date. In 
those instances where a regulation published in the Federal Register 
states a date certain for expiration, an appropriate note will be 
inserted following the text.

OMB CONTROL NUMBERS

    The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-511) requires 
Federal agencies to display an OMB control number with their information 
collection request.

[[Page vi]]

Many agencies have begun publishing numerous OMB control numbers as 
amendments to existing regulations in the CFR. These OMB numbers are 
placed as close as possible to the applicable recordkeeping or reporting 
requirements.

PAST PROVISIONS OF THE CODE

    Provisions of the Code that are no longer in force and effect as of 
the revision date stated on the cover of each volume are not carried. 
Code users may find the text of provisions in effect on any given date 
in the past by using the appropriate List of CFR Sections Affected 
(LSA). For the convenience of the reader, a ``List of CFR Sections 
Affected'' is published at the end of each CFR volume. For changes to 
the Code prior to the LSA listings at the end of the volume, consult 
previous annual editions of the LSA. For changes to the Code prior to 
2001, consult the List of CFR Sections Affected compilations, published 
for 1949-1963, 1964-1972, 1973-1985, and 1986-2000.

``[RESERVED]'' TERMINOLOGY

    The term ``[Reserved]'' is used as a place holder within the Code of 
Federal Regulations. An agency may add regulatory information at a 
``[Reserved]'' location at any time. Occasionally ``[Reserved]'' is used 
editorially to indicate that a portion of the CFR was left vacant and 
not dropped in error.

INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

    What is incorporation by reference? Incorporation by reference was 
established by statute and allows Federal agencies to meet the 
requirement to publish regulations in the Federal Register by referring 
to materials already published elsewhere. For an incorporation to be 
valid, the Director of the Federal Register must approve it. The legal 
effect of incorporation by reference is that the material is treated as 
if it were published in full in the Federal Register (5 U.S.C. 552(a)). 
This material, like any other properly issued regulation, has the force 
of law.
    What is a proper incorporation by reference? The Director of the 
Federal Register will approve an incorporation by reference only when 
the requirements of 1 CFR part 51 are met. Some of the elements on which 
approval is based are:
    (a) The incorporation will substantially reduce the volume of 
material published in the Federal Register.
    (b) The matter incorporated is in fact available to the extent 
necessary to afford fairness and uniformity in the administrative 
process.
    (c) The incorporating document is drafted and submitted for 
publication in accordance with 1 CFR part 51.
    What if the material incorporated by reference cannot be found? If 
you have any problem locating or obtaining a copy of material listed as 
an approved incorporation by reference, please contact the agency that 
issued the regulation containing that incorporation. If, after 
contacting the agency, you find the material is not available, please 
notify the Director of the Federal Register, National Archives and 
Records Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001, 
or call 202-741-6010.

CFR INDEXES AND TABULAR GUIDES

    A subject index to the Code of Federal Regulations is contained in a 
separate volume, revised annually as of January 1, entitled CFR Index 
and Finding Aids. This volume contains the Parallel Table of Authorities 
and Rules. A list of CFR titles, chapters, subchapters, and parts and an 
alphabetical list of agencies publishing in the CFR are also included in 
this volume.
    An index to the text of ``Title 3--The President'' is carried within 
that volume.

[[Page vii]]

    The Federal Register Index is issued monthly in cumulative form. 
This index is based on a consolidation of the ``Contents'' entries in 
the daily Federal Register.
    A List of CFR Sections Affected (LSA) is published monthly, keyed to 
the revision dates of the 50 CFR titles.

REPUBLICATION OF MATERIAL

    There are no restrictions on the republication of material appearing 
in the Code of Federal Regulations.

[50 FR 46290, Nov. 7, 1985, as amended at 51 FR 7715, 7719, Mar. 5, 
1986; 51 FR 11022, Apr. 1, 1986; 52 FR 37617, Oct. 8, 1987; 59 FR 12429, 
Mar. 16, 1994]



Sec.61.02  Definitions.

    The terms used in this part are defined in the Act or in this 
section as follows:
    Act means the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.).
    Administrator means the Administrator of the Environmental 
Protection Agency or his authorized representative.
    Alternative method means any method of sampling and analyzing for an 
air pollutant which is not a reference method but which has been 
demonstrated to the Administrator's satisfaction to produce results 
adequate for the Administrator's determination of compliance.
    Approved permit program means a State permit program approved by the 
Administrator as meeting the requirements of part 70 of this chapter or 
a Federal permit program established in this chapter pursuant to title V 
of the Act (42 U.S.C. 7661).
    Capital expenditure means an expenditure for a physical or 
operational change to a stationary source which exceeds the product of 
the applicable ``annual asset guideline repair allowance percentage'' 
specified in the latest edition of Internal Revenue Service (IRS) 
Publication 534 and the stationary source's basis, as defined by section 
1012 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, the total expenditure for a 
physical or operational change to a stationary source must not be 
reduced by any ``excluded additions'' as defined for stationary sources 
constructed after December 31, 1981, in IRS Publication 534, as would be 
done for tax purposes. In addition, ``annual asset guideline repair 
allowance'' may be used even though it is excluded for tax purposes in 
IRS Publication 534.
    Commenced means, with respect to the definition of ``new source'' in 
section 111(a)(2) of the Act, that an owner or operator has undertaken a 
continuous program of construction or modification or that an owner or 
operator has entered into a contractual obligation to undertake and 
complete, within a reasonable time, a continuous program of construction 
or modification.
    Compliance schedule means the date or dates by which a source or 
category of sources is required to comply with the standards of this 
part and with any steps toward such compliance which are set forth in a 
waiver of compliance under Sec.61.11.
    Construction means fabrication, erection, or installation of an 
affected facility.
    Effective date is the date of promulgation in the Federal Register 
of an applicable standard or other regulation under this part.
    Existing source means any stationary source which is not a new 
source.
    Force majeure means, for purposes of Sec.61.13, an event that will 
be or has been caused by circumstances beyond the control of the 
affected facility, its contractors, or any entity controlled by the 
affected facility that prevents the owner or operator from complying 
with the regulatory requirement to conduct performance tests within the 
specified timeframe despite the affected facility's best efforts to 
fulfill the obligation. Examples of such events are acts of nature, acts 
of war or terrorism, or equipment failure or safety hazard beyond the 
control of the affected facility.
    Issuance of a part 70 permit will occur, if the State is the 
permitting authority, in accordance with the requirements of part 70 of 
this chapter and the applicable, approved State permit program. When the 
EPA is the permitting authority, issuance of a title V permit occurs 
immediately after the EPA takes final action on the final permit.
    Monitoring system means any system, required under the monitoring 
sections in applicable subparts, used to sample and condition (if 
applicable), to analyze, and to provide a record of emissions or process 
parameters.
    New source means any stationary source, the construction or 
modification of which is commenced after the publication in the Federal 
Register

[[Page 10]]

of proposed national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants 
which will be applicable to such source.
    Owner or operator means any person who owns, leases, operates, 
controls, or supervises a stationary source.
    Part 70 permit means any permit issued, renewed, or revised pursuant 
to part 70 of this chapter.
    Permit program means a comprehensive State operating permit system 
established pursuant to title V of the Act (42 U.S.C. 7661) and 
regulations codified in part 70 of this chapter and applicable State 
regulations, or a comprehensive Federal operating permit system 
established pursuant to title V of the Act and regulations codified in 
this chapter.
    Permitting authority means:
    (1) The State air pollution control agency, local agency, other 
State agency, or other agency authorized by the Administrator to carry 
out a permit program under part 70 of this chapter; or
    (2) The Administrator, in the case of EPA-implemented permit 
programs under title V of the Act (42 U.S.C. 7661).
    Reference method means any method of sampling and analyzing for an 
air pollutant, as described in appendix B to this part.
    Run means the net period of time during which an emission sample is 
collected. Unless otherwise specified, a run may be either intermittent 
or continuous within the limits of good engineering practice.
    Standard means a national emission standard including a design, 
equipment, work practice or operational standard for a hazardous air 
pollutant proposed or promulgated under this part.
    Startup means the setting in operation of a stationary source for 
any purpose.
    State means all non-Federal authorities, including local agencies, 
interstate associations, and State-wide programs, that have delegated 
authority to implement:
    (1) The provisions of this part; and/or
    (2) The permit program established under part 70 of this chapter. 
The term State shall have its conventional meaning where clear from the 
context.
    Stationary source means any building, structure, facility, or 
installation which emits or may emit any air pollutant which has been 
designated as hazardous by the Administrator.
    Title V permit means any permit issued, renewed, or revised pursuant 
to Federal or State regulations established to implement title V of the 
Act (42 U.S.C. 7661). A title V permit issued by a State permitting 
authority is called a part 70 permit in this part.

taken during the waiver period.
    (c) Any change in the information provided under paragraph (a) of 
this section or Sec.61.07(b) shall be provided to the Administrator 
within 30 days after the change. However, if any change will result from 
modification of the source, Sec. Sec.61.07(c) and 61.08 apply.
    (d) A possible format for reporting under this section is included 
as appendix A of this part. Advice on reporting the status of compliance 
may be obtained from the Administrator.
    (e) For the purposes of this part, time periods specified in days 
shall be measured in calendar days, even if the word ``calendar'' is 
absent, unless otherwise specified in an applicable requirement.
    (f) For the purposes of this part, if an explicit postmark deadline 
is not specified in an applicable requirement for the submittal of a 
notification, application, report, or other written communication to the 
Administrator, the owner or operator shall postmark the submittal on or 
before the number of days specified in the applicable requirement. For 
example, if a notification must be submitted 15 days before a particular 
event is scheduled to take place, the notification shall be postmarked 
on or before 15 days preceding the event; likewise, if a notification 
must be submitted 15 days after a particular event takes place, the 
notification shall be postmarked on or before 15 days following the end 
of the event. The use of reliable non-Government mail carriers that 
provide indications of verifiable delivery of information required to be 
submitted to the Administrator, similar to the postmark provided by the 
U.S. Postal Service, or alternative means of delivery agreed to by the 
permitting authority, is acceptable.
    (g) Notwithstanding time periods or postmark deadlines specified in 
this part for the submittal of information to the Administrator by an 
owner or operator, or the review of such information by the 
Administrator, such time periods or deadlines may be changed by mutual 
agreement between the owner or operator and the Administrator. 
Procedures governing the implementation of this provision are specified 
in paragraph (j) of this section.
    (h) If an owner or operator of a stationary source in a State with 
delegated authority is required to submit reports under this part to the 
State, and if the State has an established timeline for the submission 
of reports that is consistent with the reporting frequency(ies) 
specified for such source under this part, the owner or operator may 
change the dates by which reports under this part shall be submitted 
(without changing the frequency of reporting) to be consistent with the 
State's schedule by mutual agreement between the owner or operator and 
the State. The allowance in the previous sentence applies in each State 
beginning 1 year after the source is required to be in compliance with 
the applicable subpart in this part. Procedures governing the 
implementation of this provision are specified in paragraph (j) of this 
section.
    (i) If an owner or operator supervises one or more stationary 
sources affected by standards set under this part and standards set 
under part 60, part 63, or both such parts of this chapter, he/she may 
arrange by mutual agreement between the owner or operator and the 
Administrator (or the State with an approved permit program) a common 
schedule on which reports required by each applicable standard shall be 
submitted throughout the year. The allowance in the previous sentence 
applies in each State beginning 1 year after the source is required to 
be in compliance with the applicable subpart in this part, or 1 year 
after the source is required to be in compliance with the applicable 
part 60 or part 63 standard,

[[Page 34]]

whichever is latest. Procedures governing the implementation of this 
provision are specified in paragraph (j) of this section.
    (j)(1)(i) Until an adjustment of a time period or postmark deadline 
has been approved by the Administrator under paragraphs (j)(2) and 
(j)(3) of this section, the owner or operator of an affected source 
remains strictly subject to the requirements of this part.
    (ii) An owner or operator shall request the adjustment provided for 
in paragraphs (j)(2) and (j)(3) of this section each time he or she 
wishes to change an applicable time period or postmark deadline 
specified in this part.
    (2) Notwithstanding time periods or postmark deadlines specified in 
this part for the submittal of information to the Administrator by an 
owner or operator, or the review of such information by the 
Administrator, such time periods or deadlines may be changed by mutual 
agreement between the owner or operator and the Administrator. An owner 
or operator who wishes to request a change in a time period or postmark 
deadline for a particular requirement shall request the adjustment in 
writing as soon as practicable before the subject activity is required 
to take place. The owner or operator shall include in the request 
whatever information he or she considers useful to convince the 
Administrator that an adjustment is warranted.
    (3) If, in the Administrator's judgment, an owner or operator's 
request for an adjustment to a particular time period or postmark 
deadline is warranted, the Administrator will approve the adjustment. 
The Administrator will notify the owner or operator in writing of 
approval or disapproval of the request for an adjustment within 15 
calendar days of receiving sufficient information to evaluate the 
request.
    (4) If the Administrator is unable to meet a specified deadline, he 
or she will notify the owner or operator of any significant delay and 
inform the owner or operator of the amended schedule.

Sec.61.11  Waiver of compliance.

    (a) Based on the information provided in any request under Sec.
61.10, or other information, the Administrator may grant a waiver of 
compliance with a standard for a period not exceeding 2 years after the 
effective date of the standard.
    (b) The waiver will be in writing and will--
    (1) Identify the stationary source covered;
    (2) Specify the termination date of the waiver;
    (3) Specify dates by which steps toward compliance are to be taken; 
and
    (4) Specify any additional conditions which the Administrator 
determines necessary to assure installation of the necessary controls 
within the waiver period and to assure protection of the health of 
persons during the waiver period.
    (c) The Administrator may terminate the waiver at an earlier date 
than specified if any specification under paragraphs (b)(3) and (b)(4) 
of this section are not met.
    (d) Before denying any request for a waiver, the Administrator will 
notify the owner or operator making the request of the Administrator's 
intention to issue the denial, together with--
    (1) Notice of the information and findings on which the intended 
denial is based; and
    (2) Notice of opportunity for the owner or operator to present, 
within the time limit the Administrator specifies, additional 
information or arguments to the Administrator before final action on the 
request.
    (e) A final determination to deny any request for a waiver will be 
in writing and will set forth the specific grounds on which the denial 
is based. The final determination will be made within 60 days after 
presentation of additional information or argument; or within 60 days 
after the final date specified for the presentation if no presentation 
is made.
    (f) The granting of a waiver under this section shall not abrogate 
the Administrator's authority under section 114 of the Act.

Sec.61.12  Compliance with standards and maintenance requirements.

    (a) Compliance with numerical emission limits shall be determined in 
accordance with emission tests established in Sec.61.13 or as 
otherwise specified in an individual subpart.
    (b) Compliance with design, equipment, work practice or operational 
standards shall be determined as specified in an individual subpart.
    (c) The owner or operator of each stationary source shall maintain 
and operate the source, including associated equipment for air pollution 
control, in a manner consistent with good air pollution control practice 
for minimizing emissions. Determination of whether acceptable operating 
and maintenance procedures are being used will be based on information 
available to the Administrator which may include, but is not limited to, 
monitoring results, review of operating and maintenance procedures, and 
inspection of the source.
    (d)(1) If, in the Administrator's judgment, an alternative means of 
emission limitation will achieve a reduction in emissions of a pollutant 
from a source at least equivalent to the reduction in emissions of that 
pollutant from that source achieved under any design, equipment, work 
practice or operational standard, the Administrator will publish in the 
Federal Register a notice permitting the use of the alternative means 
for purposes of compliance with the standard. The notice will restrict 
the permission to the source(s) or category(ies) of sources on which the 
alternative means will achieve equivalent emission reductions. The 
notice may condition permission on requirements related to the operation 
and maintenance of the alternative means.
    (2) Any notice under paragraph (d)(1) shall be published only after 
notice and an opportunity for a hearing.
    (3) Any person seeking permission under this subsection shall, 
unless otherwise specified in the applicable subpart, submit a proposed 
test plan or the results of testing and monitoring, a description of the 
procedures followed in testing or monitoring, and a description of 
pertinent conditions during testing or monitoring.
    (e) For the purpose of submitting compliance certifications or 
establishing whether or not a person has violated or is in violation of 
any standard in this part, nothing in this part shall preclude the use, 
including the exclusive use, of any credible evidence or information, 
relevant to whether a source would have been in compliance with 
applicable requirements if the appropriate performance or compliance 
test had been performed.

Sec.61.13  Emission tests and waiver of emission tests.

    (a) Except as provided in paragraphs (a)(3), (a)(4), (a)(5), and 
(a)(6) of this section, if required to do emission testing by an 
applicable subpart and unless a waiver of emission testing is obtained 
under this section, the owner or operator shall test emissions from the 
source:
    (1) Within 90 days after the effective date, for an existing source 
or a new source which has an initial startup date before the effective 
date.
    (2) Within 90 days after initial startup, for a new source which has 
an initial startup date after the effective date.
    (3) If a force majeure is about to occur, occurs, or has occurred 
for which the affected owner or operator intends to assert a claim of 
force majeure, the owner or operator shall notify the Administrator, in 
writing as soon as practicable following the date the owner or operator 
first knew, or through due diligence should have known that the event 
may cause or caused a delay in testing beyond the regulatory deadline 
specified in paragraphs (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this section or beyond a 
deadline established pursuant to the requirements under paragraph (b) of 
this section, but the notification must occur before the performance 
test deadline unless the initial force majeure or a subsequent force 
majeure event delays the notice, and in such cases, the notification 
shall occur as soon as practicable.
    (4) The owner or operator shall provide to the Administrator a 
written description of the force majeure event and a rationale for 
attributing the

[[Page 36]]

delay in testing beyond the regulatory deadline to the force majeure; 
describe the measures taken or to be taken to minimize the delay; and 
identify a date by which the owner or operator proposes to conduct the 
performance test. The performance test shall be conducted as soon as 
practicable after the force majeure occurs.
    (5) The decision as to whether or not to grant an extension to the 
performance test deadline is solely within the discretion of the 
Administrator. The Administrator will notify the owner or operator in 
writing of approval or disapproval of the request for an extension as 
soon as practicable.
    (6) Until an extension of the performance test deadline has been 
approved by the Administrator under paragraphs (a)(3), (a)(4), and 
(a)(5) of this section, the owner or operator of the affected facility 
remains strictly subject to the requirements of this part.
    (b) The Administrator may require an owner or operator to test 
emissions from the source at any other time when the action is 
authorized by section 114 of the Act.
    (c) The owner or operator shall notify the Administrator of the 
emission test at least 30 days before the emission test to allow the 
Administrator the opportunity to have an observer present during the 
test.
    (d) If required to do emission testing, the owner or operator of 
each new source and, at the request of the Administrator, the owner or 
operator of each existing source shall provide emission testing 
facilities as follows:
    (1) Sampling ports adequate for test methods applicable to each 
source.
    (2) Safe sampling platform(s).
    (3) Safe access to sampling platform(s).
    (4) Utilities for sampling and testing equipment.
    (5) Any other facilities that the Administrator needs to safely and 
properly test a source.
    (e) Each emission test shall be conducted under such conditions as 
the Administrator shall specify based on design and operational 
characteristics of the source.
    (1) The performance testing shall include a test method performance 
audit (PA) during the performance test. The PAs consist of blind audit 
samples supplied by an accredited audit sample provider and analyzed 
during the performance test in order to provide a measure of test data 
bias. Gaseous audit samples are designed to audit the performance of the 
sampling system as well as the analytical system and must be collected 
by the sampling system during the compliance test just as the compliance 
samples are collected. If a liquid or solid audit sample is designed to 
audit the sampling system, it must also be collected by the sampling 
system during the compliance test. If multiple sampling systems or 
sampling trains are used during the compliance test for any of the test 
methods, the tester is only required to use one of the sampling systems 
per method to collect the audit sample. The audit sample must be 
analyzed by the same analyst using the same analytical reagents and 
analytical system and at the same time as the compliance samples. 
Retests are required when there is a failure to produce acceptable 
results for an audit sample. However, if the audit results do not affect 
the compliance or noncompliance status of the affected facility, the 
compliance authority may waive the reanalysis requirement, further 
audits, or retests and accept the results of the compliance test. 
Acceptance of the test results shall constitute a waiver of the 
reanalysis requirement, further audits, or retests. The compliance 
authority may also use the audit sample failure and the compliance test 
results as evidence to determine the compliance or noncompliance status 
of the affected facility. A blind audit sample is a sample whose value 
is known only to the sample provider and is not revealed to the tested 
facility until after they report the measured value of the audit sample. 
For pollutants that exist in the gas phase at ambient temperature, the 
audit sample shall consist of an appropriate concentration of the 
pollutant in air or nitrogen that can be introduced into the sampling 
system of the test method at or near the same entry point as a sample 
from the emission source. If no gas phase audit samples are available, 
an acceptable alternative is a sample of the pollutant in the same 
matrix that would be produced

[[Page 37]]

when the sample is recovered from the sampling system as required by the 
test method. For samples that exist only in a liquid or solid form at 
ambient temperature, the audit sample shall consist of an appropriate 
concentration of the pollutant in the same matrix that would be produced 
when the sample is recovered from the sampling system as required by the 
test method. An accredited audit sample provider (AASP) is an 
organization that has been accredited to prepare audit samples by an 
independent, third party accrediting body.
    (i) The source owner, operator, or representative of the tested 
facility shall obtain an audit sample, if commercially available, from 
an AASP for each test method used for regulatory compliance purposes. No 
audit samples are required for the following test methods: Methods 3A 
and 3C of appendix A-3 of part 60 of this chapter; Methods 6C, 7E, 9, 
and 10 of appendix A-4 of part 60; Method 18 and 19 of appendix A-6 of 
part 60; Methods 20, 22, and 25A of appendix A-7 of part 60; Methods 30A 
and 30B of appendix A-8 of part 60; and Methods 303, 318, 320, and 321 
of appendix A of part 63 of this chapter. If multiple sources at a 
single facility are tested during a compliance test event, only one 
audit sample is required for each method used during a compliance test. 
The compliance authority responsible for the compliance test may waive 
the requirement to include an audit sample if they believe that an audit 
sample is not necessary. ``Commercially available'' means that two or 
more independent AASPs have blind audit samples available for purchase. 
If the source owner, operator, or representative cannot find an audit 
sample for a specific method, the owner, operator, or representative 
shall consult the EPA Web site at the following URL, www.epa.gov/ttn/
emc, to confirm whether there is a source that can supply an audit 
sample for that method. If the EPA Web site does not list an available 
audit sample at least 60 days prior to the beginning of the compliance 
test, the source owner, operator, or representative shall not be 
required to include an audit sample as part of the quality assurance 
program for the compliance test. When ordering an audit sample, the 
source owner, operator, or representative shall give the sample provider 
an estimate for the concentration of each pollutant that is emitted by 
the source or the estimated concentration of each pollutant based on the 
permitted level and the name, address, and phone number of the 
compliance authority. The source owner, operator, or representative 
shall report the results for the audit sample along with a summary of 
the emission test results for the audited pollutant to the compliance 
authority and shall report the results of the audit sample to the AASP. 
The source owner, operator, or representative shall make both reports at 
the same time and in the same manner or shall report to the compliance 
authority first and then report to the AASP. If the method being audited 
is a method that allows the samples to be analyzed in the field and the 
tester plans to analyze the samples in the field, the tester may analyze 
the audit samples prior to collecting the emission samples provided a 
representative of the compliance authority is present at the testing 
site. The tester may request, and the compliance authority may grant, a 
waiver to the requirement that a representative of the compliance 
authority must be present at the testing site during the field analysis 
of an audit sample. The source owner, operator, or representative may 
report the results of the audit sample to the compliance authority and 
then report the results of the audit sample to the AASP prior to 
collecting any emission samples. The test protocol and final test report 
shall document whether an audit sample was ordered and utilized and the 
pass/fail results as applicable.
    (ii) An AASP shall have and shall prepare, analyze, and report the 
true value of audit samples in accordance with a written technical 
criteria document that describes how audit samples will be prepared and 
distributed in a manner that will ensure the integrity of the audit 
sample program. An acceptable technical criteria document shall contain 
standard operating procedures for all of the following operations:
    (A) Preparing the sample;

[[Page 38]]

    (B) Confirming the true concentration of the sample;
    (C) Defining the acceptance limits for the results from a well 
qualified tester. This procedure must use well established statistical 
methods to analyze historical results from well qualified testers. The 
acceptance limits shall be set so that there is 95 percent confidence 
that 90 percent of well qualified labs will produce future results that 
are within the acceptance limit range;
    (D) Providing the opportunity for the compliance authority to 
comment on the selected concentration level for an audit sample;
    (E) Distributing the sample to the user in a manner that guarantees 
that the true value of the sample is unknown to the user;
    (F) Recording the measured concentration reported by the user and 
determining if the measured value is within acceptable limits;
    (G) Reporting the results from each audit sample in a timely manner 
to the compliance authority and to the source owner, operator, or 
representative by the AASP. The AASP shall make both reports at the same 
time and in the same manner or shall report to the compliance authority 
first and then report to the source owner, operator, or representative. 
The results shall include the name of the facility tested, the date on 
which the compliance test was conducted, the name of the company 
performing the sample collection, the name of the company that analyzed 
the compliance samples including the audit sample, the measured result 
for the audit sample, and whether the testing company passed or failed 
the audit. The AASP shall report the true value of the audit sample to 
the compliance authority. The AASP may report the true value to the 
source owner, operator, or representative if the AASP's operating plan 
ensures that no laboratory will receive the same audit sample twice.
    (H) Evaluating the acceptance limits of samples at least once every 
two years to determine in consultation with the voluntary consensus 
standard body if they should be changed;
    (I) Maintaining a database, accessible to the compliance 
authorities, of results from the audit that shall include the name of 
the facility tested, the date on which the compliance test was 
conducted, the name of the company performing the sample collection, the 
name of the company that analyzed the compliance samples including the 
audit sample, the measured result for the audit sample, the true value 
of the audit sample, the acceptance range for the measured value, and 
whether the testing company passed or failed the audit.
    (iii) The accrediting body shall have a written technical criteria 
document that describes how it will ensure that the AASP is operating in 
accordance with the AASP technical criteria document that describes how 
audit or samples are to be prepared and distributed. This document shall 
contain standard operating procedures for all of the following 
operations:
    (A) Checking audit samples to confirm their true value as reported 
by the AASP.
    (B) Performing technical systems audits of the AASP's facilities and 
operating procedures at least once every two years.
    (C) Providing standards for use by the voluntary consensus standard 
body to approve the accrediting body that will accredit the audit sample 
providers.
    (iv) The technical criteria documents for the accredited sample 
providers and the accrediting body shall be developed through a public 
process guided by a voluntary consensus standards body (VCSB). The VCSB 
shall operate in accordance with the procedures and requirements in the 
Office of Management and Budget Circular A-119. A copy of Circular A-119 
is available upon request by writing the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street, 
NW., Washington, DC 20503, by calling (202) 395-6880 or downloading 
online at http://standards.gov/standards_gov/a119.cfm. The VCSB shall 
approve all accrediting bodies. The Administrator will review all 
technical criteria documents. If the technical criteria documents do not 
meet the minimum technical requirements in paragraphs (e)(1)(ii) through 
(iv) of this

[[Page 39]]

section, the technical criteria documents are not acceptable and the 
proposed audit sample program is not capable of producing audit samples 
of sufficient quality to be used in a compliance test. All acceptable 
technical criteria documents shall be posted on the EPA Web site at the 
following URL, http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc.
    (2) [Reserved]
    (f) Unless otherwise specified in an applicable subpart, samples 
shall be analyzed and emissions determined within 30 days after each 
emission test has been completed. The owner or operator shall report the 
determinations of the emission test to the Administrator by a registered 
letter sent before the close of business on the 31st day following the 
completion of the emission test.
    (g) The owner or operator shall retain at the source and make 
available, upon request, for inspection by the Administrator, for a 
minimum of 2 years, records of emission test results and other data 
needed to determine emissions.
    (h)(1) Emission tests shall be conducted as set forth in this 
section, the applicable subpart and appendix B unless the 
Administrator--
    (i) Specifies or approves the use of a reference method with minor 
changes in methodology; or
    (ii) Approves the use of an alternative method; or
    (iii) Waives the requirement for emission testing because the owner 
or operator of a source has demonstrated by other means to the 
Administrator's satisfaction that the source is in compliance with the 
standard.
    (2) If the Administrator finds reasonable grounds to dispute the 
results obtained by an alternative method, he may require the use of a 
reference method. If the results of the reference and alternative 
methods do not agree, the results obtained by the reference method 
prevail.
    (3) The owner or operator may request approval for the use of an 
alternative method at any time, except--
    (i) For an existing source or a new source that had an initial 
startup before the effective date, any request for use of an alternative 
method during the initial emission test shall be submitted to the 
Administrator within 30 days after the effective date, or with the 
request for a waiver of compliance if one is submitted under Sec.
60.10(b); or
    (ii) For a new source that has an initial startup after the 
effective date, any request for use of an alternative method during the 
initial emission test shall be submitted to the Administrator no later 
than with the notification of anticipated startup required under Sec.
60.09.
    (i)(1) Emission tests may be waived upon written application to the 
Administrator if, in the Administrator's judgment, the source is meeting 
the standard, or the source is being operated under a waiver or 
compliance, or the owner or operator has requested a waiver of 
compliance and the Administrator is still considering that request.
    (2) If application for waiver of the emission test is made, the 
application shall accompany the information required by Sec.61.10 or 
the notification of startup required by Sec.61.09, whichever is 
applicable. A possible format is contained in appendix A to this part.
    (3) Approval of any waiver granted under this section shall not 
abrogate the Administrator's authority under the Act or in any way 
prohibit the Administrator from later cancelling the waiver. The 
cancellation will be made only after notice is given to the owner or 
operator of the source.

Sec.61.14  Monitoring requirements.

    (a) Unless otherwise specified, this section applies to each 
monitoring system required under each subpart which requires monitoring.
    (b) Each owner or operator shall maintain and operate each 
monitoring system as specified in the applicable subpart and in a manner 
consistent with good air pollution control practice for minimizing 
emissions. Any unavoidable breakdown or malfunction of the monitoring 
system should be repaired or adjusted as soon as practicable after its 
occurrence. The Administrator's determination of whether acceptable 
operating and maintenance procedures are being used will be based

[[Page 40]]

on information which may include, but not be limited to, review of 
operating and maintenance procedures, manufacturer recommendations and 
specifications, and inspection of the monitoring system.
    (c) When required by the applicable subpart, and at any other time 
the Administrator may require, the owner or operator of a source being 
monitored shall conduct a performance evaluation of the monitoring 
system and furnish the Administrator with a copy of a written report of 
the results within 60 days of the evaluation. Such a performance 
evaluation shall be conducted according to the applicable specifications 
and procedures described in the applicable subpart. The owner or 
operator of the source shall furnish the Administrator with written 
notification of the date of the performance evaluation at least 30 days 
before the evaluation is to begin.
    (d) When the effluents from a single source, or from two or more 
sources subject to the same emission standards, are combined before 
being released to the atmosphere, the owner or operator shall install a 
monitoring system on each effluent or on the combined effluent. If two 
or more sources are not subject to the same emission standards, the 
owner or operator shall install a separate monitoring system on each 
effluent, unless otherwise specified. If the applicable standard is a 
mass emission standard and the effluent from one source is released to 
the atmosphere through more than one point, the owner or operator shall 
install a monitoring system at each emission point unless the 
installation of fewer systems is approved by the Administrator.
    (e) The owner or operator of each monitoring system shall reduce the 
monitoring data as specified in each applicable subpart. Monitoring data 
recorded during periods of unavoidable monitoring system breakdowns, 
repairs, calibration checks, and zero and span adjustments shall not be 
included in any data average.
    (f) The owner or operator shall maintain records of monitoring data, 
monitoring system calibration checks, and the occurrence and duration of 
any period during which the monitoring system is malfunctioning or 
inoperative. These records shall be maintained at the source for a 
minimum of 2 years and made available, upon request, for inspection by 
the Administrator.
    (g)(1) Monitoring shall be conducted as set forth in this section 
and the applicable subpart unless the Administrator--
    (i) Specifies or approves the use of the specified monitoring 
requirements and procedures with minor changes in methodology; or
    (ii) Approves the use of alternatives to any monitoring requirements 
or procedures.
    (2) If the Administrator finds reasonable grounds to dispute the 
results obtained by an alternative monitoring method, the Administrator 
may require the monitoring requirements and procedures specified in this 
part.

[50 FR 46293, Nov. 7, 1985]



Sec.61.15  Modification.

    (a) Except as provided under paragraph (d) of this section, any 
physical or operational change to a stationary source which results in 
an increase in the rate of emission to the atmosphere of a hazardous 
pollutant to which a standard applies shall be considered a 
modification.
    (b) Upon modification, an existing source shall become a new source 
for each hazardous pollutant for which the rate of emission to the 
atmosphere increases and to which a standard applies.
    (c) Emission rate shall be expressed as kg/hr of any hazardous 
pollutant discharged into the atmosphere for which a standard is 
applicable. The Administrator shall use the following to determine the 
emission rate:
    (1) Emission factors as specified in the background information 
document (BID) for the applicable standard, or in the latest issue of 
``Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors,'' EPA Publication No. 
AP-42, or other emission factors determined by the Administrator to be 
superior to AP-42 emission factors, in cases where use of emission 
factors demonstrates that the emission rate will clearly increase or 
clearly not increase as a result of the physical or operational change.

[[Page 41]]

    (2) Material balances, monitoring data, or manual emission tests in 
cases where use of emission factors, as referenced in paragraph (c)(1) 
of this section, does not demonstrate to the Administrator's 
satisfaction that the emission rate will clearly increase or clearly not 
increase as a result of the physical or operational change, or where an 
interested person demonstrates to the Administrator's satisfaction that 
there are reasonable grounds to dispute the result obtained by the 
Administrator using emission factors. When the emission rate is based on 
results from manual emission tests or monitoring data, the procedures 
specified in appendix C of 40 CFR part 60 shall be used to determine 
whether an increase in emission rate has occurred. Tests shall be 
conducted under such conditions as the Administrator shall specify to 
the owner or operator. At least three test runs must be conducted before 
and at least three after the physical or operational change. If the 
Administrator approves, the results of the emission tests required in 
Sec.61.13(a) may be used for the test runs to be conducted before the 
physical or operational change. All operating parameters which may 
affect emissions must be held constant to the maximum degree feasible 
for all test runs.
    (d) The following shall not, by themselves, be considered 
modifications under this part:
    (1) Maintenance, repair, and replacement which the Administrator 
determines to be routine for a source category.
    (2) An increase in production rate of a stationary source, if that 
increase can be accomplished without a capital expenditure on the 
stationary source.
    (3) An increase in the hours of operation.
    (4) Any conversion to coal that meets the requirements specified in 
section 111(a)(8) of the Act.
    (5) The relocation or change in ownership of a stationary source. 
However, such activities must be reported in accordance with Sec.
61.10(c).

Sec.61.16  Availability of information.

    The availability to the public of information provided to, or 
otherwise obtained by, the Administrator under this part shall be

Sec.61.17  State authority.

    (a) This part shall not be construed to preclude any State or 
political subdivision thereof from--
    (1) Adopting and enforcing any emission limiting regulation 
applicable to a stationary source, provided that such emission limiting 
regulation is not less stringent than the standards prescribed under 
this part; or
    (2) Requiring the owner or operator of a stationary source to obtain 
permits, licenses, or approvals prior to initiating construction, 
modification, or operation of the source.

Sec.61.19  Circumvention.

    No owner or operator shall build, erect, install, or use any article 
machine, equipment, process, or method, the use of which conceals an 
emission which would otherwise constitute a violation of an applicable 
standard. Such concealment includes, but is not limited to, the use of 
gaseous dilutants to achieve compliance with a visible emissions 
standard, and the piecemeal carrying out of an operation to avoid 
coverage by a standard that applies only to operations larger than a 
specified size.

    Emissions of radon-222 to the ambient air from an underground 
uranium mine shall not exceed those amounts that would cause any member 
of the public to receive in any year an effective dose equivalent of 10 
mrem/y.



Sec.61.23  Determining compliance.

    (a) Compliance with the emission standard in this subpart shall be 
determined and the effective dose equivalent calculated by the U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) computer code COMPLY-R. An 
underground uranium mine owner or operator shall calculate the source 
terms to be used for input into COMPLY-R by conducting testing in 
accordance with the procedures described in appendix B, Method 115, or
    (b) Owners or operators may demonstrate compliance with the emission 
standard in this subpart through the use of computer models that are 
equivalent to COMPLY-R provided that the model has received prior 
approval from EPA headquarters. EPA may approve a model in whole or in 
part and may limit its use to specific circumstances.

    (c) Samples shall be taken over such a period or periods as are 
necessary to accurately determine the maximum emissions which will occur 
in any 24-hour period. Where emissions depend upon the relative 
frequency of operation of different types of processes, operating hours, 
operating capacities, or other factors, the calculation of maximum 24-
hour-period emissions will be based on that combination of factors which 
is likely to occur during the subject period and which result in the 
maximum emissions. No changes in the operation shall be made, which

Sec.61.54  Sludge sampling.

    (a) As an alternative means for demonstrating compliance with Sec.
61.52(b), an owner or operator may use Method 105 of appendix B and the 
procedures specified in this section.
    (1) A sludge test shall be conducted within 90 days of the effective 
date of these regulations in the case of an existing source or a new 
source which has an initial startup date preceding the effective date; 
or
    (2) A sludge test shall be conducted within 90 days of startup in 
the case of a new source which did not have an initial startup date 
preceding the effective date.
    (b) The Administrator shall be notified at least 30 days prior to a 
sludge sampling test, so that he may at his option observe the test.
    (c) Sludge shall be sampled according to paragraph (c)(1) of this 
section, sludge charging rate for the plant shall be determined 
according to paragraph (c)(2) of this section, and the sludge analysis 
shall be performed according to paragraph (c)(3) of this section.
    (1) The sludge shall be sampled according to Method 105--
Determination of Mercury in Wastewater Treatment Plant Sewage Sludges. A 
total of three composite samples shall be obtained within an operating 
period of 24 hours. When the 24-hour operating period is not continuous, 
the total sampling period shall not exceed 72 hours after the first grab 
sample is obtained. Samples shall not be exposed to any condition that 
may result in mercury contamination or loss.
    (2) The maximum 24-hour period sludge incineration or drying rate 
shall be determined by use of a flow rate measurement device that can 
measure the mass rate of sludge charged to the incinerator or dryer with 
an accuracy of 5 percent over its operating range. 
Other methods of measuring sludge mass charging rates may be used if 
they have received prior approval by the Administrator.
    (3) The sampling, handling, preparation, and analysis of sludge 
samples shall be accomplished according to Method 105 in appendix B of 
this part.
    (d) The mercury emissions shall be determined by use of the 
following equation.
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC15NO91.047

where:

EHg = Mercury emissions, g/day.
M = Mercury concentration of sludge on a dry solids basis, [micro]g/g.
Q = Sludge changing rate, kg/day.
Fsm = Weight fraction of solids in the collected sludge after 
          mixing.
1000 = Conversion factor, kg [micro]g/g. \2\

    (e) No changes in the operation of a plant shall be made after a 
sludge test has been conducted which would potentially increase 
emissions above the level determined by the most recent sludge test, 
until the new emission level has been estimated by calculation and the 
results reported to the Administrator.
    (f) All sludge samples shall be analyzed for mercury content within 
30 days after the sludge sample is collected. Each determination shall 
be reported to the Administrator by a registered letter dispatched 
within 15 calendar days following the date such determination is 
completed.
    (g) Records of sludge sampling, charging rate determination and 
other data needed to determine mercury content of wastewater treatment 
plant sludges shall be retained at the source and made available, for 
inspection by

[[Page 52]]

the Administrator, for a minimum of 2 years.

Sec.61.55  Monitoring of emissions and operations.

    (a) Wastewater treatment plant sludge incineration and drying 
plants. All the sources for which mercury emissions exceed 1.6 kg (3.5 
lb) per 24-hour period, demonstrated either by stack sampling according 
to Sec.61.53 or sludge sampling according to Sec.61.54, shall 
monitor mercury emissions at intervals of at least once per year by use 
of Method 105 of appendix B or the procedures specified in Sec.61.53 
(d) (2) and (4). The results of monitoring shall be reported and 
retained according to Sec.61.53(d) (5) and (6) or Sec.61.54 (f) and 
(g).
    (b) Mercury cell chlor-alkali plants--hydrogen and end-box 
ventilation gas streams. (1) The owner or operator of each mercury cell 
chlor-alkali plant shall, within 1 year of the date of publication of 
these amendments or within 1 year of startup for a plant with initial 
startup after the date of publication, perform a mercury emission test 
that demonstrates compliance with the emission limits in Sec.61.52, on 
the hydrogen stream by Method 102 and on the end-box stream by Method 
101 for the purpose of establishing limits for parameters to be 
monitored.
    (2) During tests specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, the 
following control device parameters shall be monitored, except as 
provided in paragraph (c) of this section, and recorded manually or 
automatically at least once every 15 minutes:
    (i) The exit gas temperature from uncontrolled streams;
    (ii) The outlet temperature of the gas stream for the final (i.e., 
the farthest downstream) cooling system when no control devices other 
than coolers and demisters are used;
    (iii) The outlet temperature of the gas stream from the final 
cooling system when the cooling system is followed by a molecular sieve 
or carbon adsorber;
    (iv) Outlet concentration of available chlorine, pH, liquid flow 
rate, and inlet gas temperature of chlorinated brine scrubbers and 
hypochlorite scrubbers;
    (v) The liquid flow rate and exit gas temperature for water 
scrubbers;
    (vi) The inlet gas temperature of carbon adsorption systems; and
    (vii) The temperature during the heating phase of the regeneration 
cycle for carbon adsorbers or molecular sieves.
    (3) The recorded parameters in paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through 
(b)(2)(vi) of this section shall be averaged over the test period (a 
minimum of 6 hours) to provide an average number. The highest 
temperature reading that is measured in paragraph (b)(2)(vii) of this 
section is to be identified as the reference temperature for use in 
paragraph (b)(6)(ii) of this section.
    (4)(i) Immediately following completion of the emission tests 
specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, the owner or operator of 
a mercury cell chlor-alkali plant shall monitor and record manually or 
automatically at least once per hour the same parameters specified in 
paragraphs (b)(2)(i) through (b)(2)(vi) of this section.
    (ii) Immediately following completion of the emission tests 
specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, the owner or operator 
shall monitor and record manually or automatically, during each heating 
phase of the regeneration cycle, the temperature specified in paragraph 
(b)(2)(vii) of this section.
    (5) Monitoring devices used in accordance with paragraphs (b)(2) and 
(b)(4) of this section shall be certified by their manufacturer to be 
accurate to within 10 percent, and shall be operated, maintained, and 
calibrated according to the manufacturer's instructions. Records of the 
certifications and calibrations shall be retained at the chlor-alkali 
plant and made available for inspection by the Administrator as follows: 
Certification, for as long as the device is used for this purpose; 
calibration for a minimum of 2 years.
    (6)(i) When the hourly value of a parameter monitored in accordance 
with paragraph (b)(4)(i) of this section exceeds, or in the case of 
liquid flow rate and available chlorine falls below the

[[Page 53]]

value of that same parameter determined in paragraph (b)(2) of this 
section for 24 consecutive hours, the Administrator is to be notified 
within the next 10 days.
    (ii) When the maximum hourly value of the temperature measured in 
accordance with paragraph (b)(4)(ii) of this section is below the 
reference temperature recorded according to paragraph (b)(3) of this 
section for three consecutive regeneration cycles, the Administrator is 
to be notified within the next 10 days.
    (7) Semiannual reports shall be submitted to the Administrator 
indicating the time and date on which the hourly value of each parameter 
monitored according to paragraphs (b)(4)(i) and (b)(4)(ii) of this 
section fell outside the value of that same parameter determined under 
paragraph (b)(3) of this section; and corrective action taken, and the 
time and date of the corrective action. Parameter excursions will be 
considered unacceptable operation and maintenance of the emission 
control system. In addition, while compliance with the emission limits 
is determined primarily by conducting a performance test according to 
the procedures in Sec.61.53(b), reports of parameter excursions may be 
used as evidence in judging the duration of a violation that is 
determined by a performance test.
    (8) Semiannual reports required in paragraph (b)(7) of this section 
shall be submitted to the Administrator on September 15 and March 15 of 
each year. The first semiannual report is to be submitted following the 
first full 6 month reporting period. The semiannual report due on 
September 15 (March 15) shall include all excursions monitored through 
August 31 (February 28) of the same calendar year.
    (c) As an alternative to the monitoring, recordkeeping, and 
reporting requirements in paragraphs (b)(2) through (8) of this section, 
an owner or operator may develop and submit for the Administrator's 
review and approval a plant-specific monitoring plan. To be approved, 
such a plan must ensure not only compliance with the emission limits of 
Sec.61.52(a) but also proper operation and maintenance of emissions 
control systems. Any site-specific monitoring plan submitted must, at a 
minimum, include the following:
    (1) Identification of the critical parameter or parameters for the 
hydrogen stream and for the end-box ventilation stream that are to be 
monitored and an explanation of why the critical parameter(s) selected 
is the best indicator of proper control system performance and of 
mercury emission rates.
    (2) Identification of the maximum or minimum value of each parameter 
(e.g., degrees temperature, concentration of mercury) that is not to be 
exceeded. The level(s) is to be directly correlated to the results of a 
performance test, conducted no more than 180 days prior to submittal of 
the plan, when the facility was in compliance with the emission limits 
of Sec.61.52(a).
    (3) Designation of the frequency for recording the parameter 
measurements, with justification if the frequency is less than hourly. A 
longer recording frequency must be justified on the basis of the amount 
of time that could elapse during periods of process or control system 
upsets before the emission limits would be exceeded, and consideration 
is to be given to the time that would be necessary to repair the 
failure.
    (4) Designation of the immediate actions to be taken in the event of 
an excursion beyond the value of the parameter established in paragraph 
(c)(2) of this section.
    (5) Provisions for reporting, semiannually, parameter excursions and 
the corrective actions taken, and provisions for reporting within 10 
days any significant excursion.
    (6) Identification of the accuracy of the monitoring device(s) or of 
the readings obtained.
    (7) Recordkeeping requirements for certifications and calibrations.
    (d) Mercury cell chlor-alkali plants--cell room ventilation system. 
(1) Stationary sources determining cell room emissions in accordance 
with Sec.61.53(c)(4) shall maintain daily records of all leaks or 
spills of mercury. The records shall indicate the amount, location, 
time, and date the leaks or spills occurred, identify the cause of the 
leak or spill, state the immediate

[[Page 54]]

steps taken to minimize mercury emissions and steps taken to prevent 
future occurrences, and provide the time and date on which corrective 
steps were taken.
    (2) The results of monitoring shall be recorded, retained at the 
source, and made available for inspection by the Administrator for a 
minimum of 2 years.

Sec.61.65  Emission standard for ethylene dichloride, vinyl chloride
and polyvinyl chloride plants.

    An owner or operator of an ethylene dichloride, vinyl chloride, and/
or polyvinyl chloride plant shall comply with the requirements of this 
section.
    (a) Relief valve discharge (RVD). Except for an emergency relief 
discharge, and except as provided in Sec.61.65(d), there is to be no 
discharge to the atmosphere from any relief valve on any equipment in 
vinyl chloride service. An emergency relief discharge means a discharge 
which could not have been avoided by taking measures to prevent the 
discharge. Within 10 days of any relief valve discharge, except for 
those subject to Sec.61.65(d), the owner or operator of the source 
from which the relief valve discharge occurs shall submit to the 
Administrator a report in writing containing information on the source, 
nature and cause of the discharge, the date and time of the discharge, 
the approximate total vinyl chloride loss during the discharge, the 
method used for determining the vinyl chloride loss (the calculation of 
the vinyl chloride loss), the action that was taken to prevent the 
discharge, and measures adopted to prevent future discharges.
    (b) Fugitive emission sources--(1) Loading and unloading lines. 
Vinyl chloride emissions from loading and unloading lines in vinyl 
chloride service which are opened to the atmosphere after each loading 
or unloading operation are to be minimized as follows:
    (i) After each loading or unloading operation and before opening a 
loading or unloading line to the atmosphere, the quantity of vinyl 
chloride in all parts of each loading or unloading line that are to be 
opened to the atmosphere is to be reduced so that the parts combined 
contain no greater than 0.0038 m \3\ (0.13 ft \3\) of vinyl chloride, at 
standard temperature and pressure; and
    (ii) Any vinyl chloride removed from a loading or unloading line in 
accordance with paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section is to be ducted 
through a control system from which the concentration of vinyl chloride 
in the exhaust gases does not exceed 10 ppm (average for 3-hour period), 
or equivalent as provided in Sec.61.66.
    (2) Slip gauges. During loading or unloading operations, the vinyl 
chloride emissions from each slip gauge in vinyl chloride service are to 
be minimized by ducting any vinyl chloride discharged from the slip 
gauge through a control system from which the concentration of vinyl 
chloride in the exhaust gases does not exceed 10 ppm (average for 3-hour 
period), or equivalent as provided in Sec.61.66.
    (3) Leakage from pump, compressor, and agitator seals:
    (i) Rotating pumps. Vinyl chloride emissions from seals on all 
rotating pumps in vinyl chloride service are to be minimized by 
installing sealless pumps, pumps with double mechanical seals or 
equivalent as provided in Sec.61.66. If double mechanical seals are 
used, vinyl chloride emissions from the seals are to be minimized by 
maintaining the pressure between the two seals so that any leak that 
occurs is into the pump; by ducting any vinyl chloride between the two 
seals through a control system from which the concentration of vinyl 
chloride in the exhaust gases does not exceed 10 ppm; or equivalent as 
provided in Sec.61.66. Compliance with the provisions of 40 CFR part 
61 subpart V demonstrates compliance with the provisions of this 
paragraph.
    (ii) Reciprocating pumps. Vinyl chloride emissions from seals on all 
reciprocating pumps in vinyl chloride service are to be minimized by 
installing

[[Page 59]]

double outboard seals, or equivalent as provided in Sec.61.66. If 
double outboard seals are used, vinyl chloride emissions from the seals 
are to be minimized by maintaining the pressure between the two seals so 
that any leak that occurs is into the pump; by ducting any vinyl 
chloride between the two seals through a control system from which the 
concentration of vinyl chloride in the exhaust gases does not exceed 10 
ppm; or equivalent as provided in Sec.61.66. Compliance with the 
provisions of 40 CFR part 61 subpart V demonstrates compliance with the 
provisions of this paragraph.
    (iii) Rotating compressor. Vinyl chloride emissions from seals on 
all rotating compressors in vinyl chloride service are to be minimized 
by installing compressors with double mechanical seals, or equivalent as 
provided in Sec.61.66. If double mechanical seals are used, vinyl 
chloride emissions from the seals are to be minimized by maintaining the 
pressure between the two seals so that any leak that occurs is into the 
compressor; by ducting any vinyl chloride between the two seals through 
a control system from which the concentration of vinyl chloride in the 
exhaust gases does not exceed 10 ppm; or equivalent as provided in Sec.
61.66. Compliance with the provisions of 40 CFR part 61 subpart V 
demonstrates compliance with the provisions of this paragraph.
    (iv) Reciprocating compressors. Vinyl chloride emissions from seals 
on all reciprocating compressors in vinyl chloride service are to be 
minimized by installing double outboard seals, or equivalent as provided 
in Sec.61.66. If double outboard seals are used, vinyl chloride 
emissions from the seals are to be minimized by maintaining the pressure 
between the two seals so that any leak that occurs is into the 
compressor; by ducting any vinyl chloride between the two seals through 
a control system from which concentration of vinyl chloride in the 
exhaust gases does not exceed 10 ppm; or equivalent as provided in Sec.
61.66. Compliance with the provisions of 40 CFR part 61 subpart V 
demonstrates compliance with the provisions of this paragraph.
    (v) Agitator. Vinyl chloride emissions from seals on all agitators 
in vinyl chloride service are to be minimized by installing agitators 
with double mechanical seals, or equivalent as provided in Sec.61.66. 
If double mechanical seals are used, vinyl chloride emissions from the 
seals are to be minimized by maintaining the pressure between the two 
seals so that any leak that occurs is into the agitated vessel; by 
ducting any vinyl chloride between the two seals through a control 
system from which the concentration of vinyl chloride in the exhaust 
gases does not exceed 10 ppm; or equivalent as provided in Sec.61.66.
    (4) Leaks from relief valves. Vinyl chloride emissions due to leaks 
from each relief valve on equipment in vinyl chloride service shall 
comply with Sec.61.242-4 of subpart V of this part.
    (5) Manual venting of gases. Except as provided in Sec.
61.64(a)(3), all gases which are manually vented from equipment in vinly 
chloride service are to be ducted through a control system from which 
the concentration of vinyl chloride in the exhaust gases does not exceed 
10 ppm (average for 3-hour period); or equivalent as provided in Sec.
61.66.
    (6) Opening of equipment. Vinyl chloride emissions from opening of 
equipment (excluding crude, intermediate, and final EDC storage tanks, 
but including prepolymerization reactors used in the manufacture of bulk 
resins and loading or unloading lines that are not opened to the 
atmosphere after each loading or unloading operation) are to be 
minimized follows:
    (i) Before opening any equipment for any reason, the quantity of 
vinyl chloride which is contained therein is to be reduced to an amount 
which occupies a volume of no more than 2.0 percent of the equipment's 
containment volume or 0.0950 cubic meters (25 gallons), whichever is 
larger, at standard temperature and pressure.
    (ii) Any vinyl chloride removed from the equipment in accordance 
with paragraph (b)(6)(i) of this section is to be ducted through a 
control system from which the concentration of vinyl chloride in the 
exhaust gases does not exceed 10 ppm (average for 3-hour period); or 
equivalent as provided in Sec.61.66.
    (7) Samples. Unused portions of samples containing at least 10 
percent by

[[Page 60]]

weight vinyl chloride are to be returned to the process or destroyed in 
a control device from which concentration of vinyl chloride in the 
exhaust gas does not exceed 10 ppm (average for 3-hour period) or 
equivalent as provided in Sec.61.66. Sampling techniques are to be 
such that sample containers in vinyl chloride service are purged into a 
closed process system. Compliance with the provisions of 40 CFR part 61 
subpart V demonstrates compliance with the provisions of this paragraph.
    (8) Leak detection and elimination. Vinyl chloride emissions due to 
leaks from equipment in vinyl chloride service are to be minimized as 
follows:
    (i) A reliable and accurate vinyl chloride monitoring system shall 
be operated for detection of major leaks and identification of the 
general area of the plant where a leak is located. A vinyl chloride 
monitoring system means a device which obtains air samples from one or 
more points on a continuous sequential basis and analyzes the samples 
with gas chromatography or, if the owner or operator assumes that all 
hydrocarbons measured are vinyl chloride, with infrared 
spectrophotometry, flame ion detection, or an equivalent or alternative 
method. The vinyl chloride monitoring system shall be operated according 
to a program developed by the plant owner or operator. The owner or 
operator shall submit a description of the program to the Administrator 
within 45 days of the effective date of these regulations, unless a 
waiver of compliance is granted under Sec.61.11, or the program has 
been approved and the Administrator does not request a review of the 
program. Approval of a program will be granted by the Administrator 
provided he finds:
    (A) The location and number of points to be monitored and the 
frequency of monitoring provided for in the program are acceptable when 
they are compared with the number of pieces of equipment in vinyl 
chloride service and size and physical layout of the plant.
    (B) It contains a definition of leak which is acceptable when 
compared with the background concentrations of vinyl chloride in the 
areas of the plant to be monitored by the vinyl chloride monitoring 
system. Measurements of background concentrations of vinyl chloride in 
the areas of the plant to be monitored by the vinyl chloride monitoring 
system are to be included with the description of the program. The 
definition of leak for a given plant may vary among the different areas 
within the plant and is also to change over time as background 
concentrations in the plant are reduced.
    (C) It contains an acceptable plan of action to be taken when a leak 
is detected.
    (D) It provides for an acceptable calibration and maintenance 
schedule for the vinyl chloride monitoring system and portable 
hydrocarbon detector. For the vinyl chloride monitoring system, a daily 
span check is to be conducted with a concentration of vinyl chloride 
equal to the concentration defined as a leak according to paragraph 
(b)(8)(i)(B) of this section. The calibration is to be done with either:
    (1) A calibration gas mixture prepared from the gases specified in 
sections 7.2.1 and 7.2.2 of Method 106 and in accordance with section 
10.1 of Method 106, or
    (2) A calibration gas cylinder standard containing the appropriate 
concentration of vinyl chloride. The gas composition of the calibration 
gas cylinder standard is to have been certified by the manufacturer. The 
manufacturer must have recommended a maximum shelf life for each 
cylinder so that the concentration does not change greater than 5 percent from the certified value. The date of gas 
cylinder preparation, certified vinyl chloride concentration, and 
recommended maximum shelf life must have been affixed to the cylinder 
before shipment from the manufacturer to the buyer. If a gas 
chromatograph is used as the vinyl chloride monitoring system, these gas 
mixtures may be directly used to prepare a chromatograph calibration 
curve as described in Sections 8.1 and 9.2 of Method 106. The 
requirements in Sections 7.2.3.1 and 7.2.3.2 of Method 106 for 
certification of cylinder standards and for establishment and 
verification of calibration standards are to be followed.
    (ii) For each process unit subject to this subpart, a formal leak 
detection

[[Page 61]]

and repair program shall be implemented consistent with subpart V of 
this part, except as provided in paragraph (b)(8)(iii) of this section. 
This program is to be implemented within 90 days of the effective date 
of these regulations, unless a waiver of compliance is granted under 
Sec.61.11. Except as provided in paragraph (b)(8)(ii)(E) of this 
section, an owner or operator shall be exempt from Sec.61.242-1(d), 
Sec.61.242-7 (a), (b), and (c), Sec.61.246, and Sec.61.247 of 
subpart V of this part for any process unit in which the percentage of 
leaking valves is demonstrated to be less than 2.0 percent, as 
determined in accordance with the following:
    (A) A performance test as specified in paragraph (b)(8)(ii)(B) of 
this section shall be conducted initially within 90 days of the 
effective date of these regulations, annually, and at times requested by 
the Administrator.
    (B) For each performance test, a minimum of 200 or 90 percent, 
whichever is less, of the total valves in VOC service (as defined in 
Sec.60.481 of subpart VV of part 60) within the process unit shall be 
randomly selected and monitored within 1 week by the methods specified 
in Sec.61.245(b) of this part. If an instrument reading of 10,000 ppm 
or greater is measured, a leak is detected. The leak percentage shall be 
determined by dividing the number of valves in VOC service for which 
leaks are detected by the number of tested valves in VOC service.
    (C) If a leak is detected, it shall be repaired in accordance with 
Sec.61.242-7 (d) and (e) of subpart V of this part.
    (D) The results of the performance test shall be submitted in 
writing to the Administrator in the first quarterly report following the 
performance test as part of the reporting requirements of Sec.61.70.
    (E) Any process unit in which the percentage of leaking valves is 
found to be greater than 2.0 percent according to the performance test 
prescribed in paragraph (b)(8)(ii)(B) of this section must comply with 
all provisions of subpart V of this part within 90 days.
    (iii) Open-ended valves or lines located on multiple service process 
lines which operate in vinyl chloride service less than 10 percent of 
the time are exempt from the requirements of Sec.61.242-6 of subpart 
V, provided the open-ended valves or lines are addressed in the 
monitoring system required by paragraph (b)(8)(i) of this section. The 
Administrator may apply this exemption to other existing open-ended 
valves or lines that are demonstrated to require significant retrofit 
cost to comply with the requirements of Sec.61.242-6 of subpart V.
    (9) Inprocess wastewater. Vinyl chloride emissions to the atmosphere 
from inprocess wastewater are to be reduced as follows:
    (i) The concentration of vinyl chloride in each inprocess wastewater 
stream containing greater than 10 ppm vinyl chloride measured 
immediately as it leaves a piece of equipment and before being mixed 
with any other inprocess wastewater stream is to be reduced to no more 
than 10 ppm by weight before being mixed with any other inprocess 
wastewater stream which contains less than 10 ppm vinyl chloride; before 
being exposed to the atmosphere; before being discharged to a wastewater 
treatment process; or before being discharged untreated as a wastewater. 
This paragraph does apply to water which is used to displace vinyl 
chloride from equipment before it is opened to the atmosphere in 
accordance with Sec.61.64(a)(2) or paragraph (b)(6) of this section, 
but does not apply to water which is used to wash out equipment after 
the equipment has already been opened to the atmosphere in accordance 
with Sec.61.64(a)(2) or paragraph (b)(6) of this section.
    (ii) Any vinyl chloride removed from the inprocess wastewater in 
accordance with paragraph (b)(9)(i) of this section is to be ducted 
through a control system from which the concentration of vinyl chloride 
in the exhaust gases does not exceed 10 ppm (average for 3-hour period); 
or equivalent as provided in Sec.61.66.
    (c) The requirements in paragraphs (b)(1), (b)(2), (b)(5), (b)(6), 
(b)(7) and (b)(8) of this section are to be incorporated into a standard 
operating procedure, and made available upon request for inspection by 
the Administrator. The standard operating procedure is to include 
provisions for measuring the vinyl chloride in equipment 4.75 m\3\ (1255 
gal) in volume for which

[[Page 62]]

an emission limit is prescribed in Sec.61.65(b)(6)(i) after opening 
the equipment and using Method 106, a portable hydrocarbon detector, or 
an alternative method. The method of measurement is to meet the 
requirements in Sec.61.67(g)(5)(i)(A) or (g)(5)(i)(B).
    (d) A RVD that is ducted to a control device that is continually 
operating while emissions from the release are present at the device is 
subject to the following requirements:
    (1) A discharge from a control device other than a flare shall not 
exceed 10 ppm (average over a 3-hour period) as determined by the 
continuous emission monitor system required under Sec.61.68. Such a 
discharge is subject to the requirements of Sec.61.70.
    (2) For a discharge routed to a flare, the flare shall comply with 
the requirements of Sec.60.18.
    (i) Flare operations shall be monitored in accordance with the 
requirements of Sec. Sec.60.18(d) and 60.18(f)(2). For the purposes of 
Sec.60.18(d), the volume and component concentration of each relief 
valve discharge shall be estimated and calculation shall be made to 
verify ongoing compliance with the design and operating requirements of 
Sec. Sec.60.18 (c)(3) through (c)(6). If more than one relief valve is 
discharged simultaneously to a single flare, these calculations shall 
account for the cumulative effect of all such relief valve discharges. 
These calculations shall be made and reported quarterly for all 
discharges within the quarter. Failure to comply with any of the 
requirements of this paragraph will be a violation of Sec.61.65(d)(2). 
Monitoring for the presence of a flare pilot flame shall be conducted in 
accordance with Sec.60.18(f)(2). If the results of this monitoring or 
any other information shows that the pilot flame is not present 100 
percent of the time during which a relief valve discharge is routed to 
the flare, the relief valve discharge is subject to the provisions of 
Sec.61.65(a).
    (ii) A report describing the flare design shall be provided to the 
Administrator not later than 90 days after the adoption of this 
provision or within 30 days of the installation of a flare system for 
control of relief valve discharge whichever is later. The flare design 
report shall include calculations based upon expected relief valve 
discharge component concentrations and net heating values (for PVC this 
calculation shall be based on values expected if a release occurred at 
the instant the polymerization starts); and estimated maximum exit 
velocities based upon the design throat capacity of the gas in the 
relief valve.

Administrator by a registered letter dispatched before the close of the 
next business day following the determination.
    (f) The owner or operator shall retain at the plant and make 
available, upon request, for inspection by the Administrator, for a 
minimum of 3 years, records of emission test results and other data 
needed to determine emissions.
    (g) Unless otherwise specified, the owner or operator shall use the 
test methods in appendix B to this part for each test as required by 
paragraphs (g)(1), (g)(2), (g)(3), (g)(4), and (g)(5) of this section, 
unless an alternative method has been approved by the Administrator. If 
the Administrator finds reasonable grounds to dispute the results 
obtained by an alternative method, he may require the use of a reference 
method. If the results of the reference and alternative methods do not 
agree, the results obtained by the reference method prevail, and the 
Administrator may notify the owner or operator that approval of the 
method previously considered to be alternative is withdrawn. Whenever 
Method 107 is specified, and the conditions in Section 1.2, 
``Applicability'' of Method 107A are met, Method 107A may be used.
    (1) Method 106 is to be used to determine the vinyl chloride 
emissions from any source for which an emission limit is prescribed in 
Sec.61.62(a) or (b), Sec.61.63(a), or Sec.61.64(a)(1), (b), (c), 
or (d), or from any control system to which reactor emissions are 
required to be ducted in Sec.61.64(a)(2) or to which fugitive 
emissions are required to be ducted in Sec.61.65(b)(1)(ii), (b)(2), 
(b)(5), (b)(6)(ii), or (b)(9)(ii).
    (i) For each run, one sample is to be collected. The sampling site 
is to be at least two stack or duct diameters downstream and one half 
diameter upstream from any flow disturbance such as a bend, expansion, 
contraction, or visible flame. For a rectangular cross section, an 
equivalent diameter is to be determined from the following equation:

Equivalent diameter = 2(length)(width)/(length + width)


The sampling point in the duct is to be at the centroid of the cross 
section. The sample is to be extracted at a rate proportional to the gas 
velocity at the sampling point. The sample is to contain a minimum 
volume of 50 liters (1.8 ft\3\) corrected to standard conditions and is 
to be taken over a period as close to 1 hour as practicable.
    (ii) Each emission test is to consist of three runs. For the purpose 
of determining emissions, the average of results of all runs is to 
apply. The average is to be computed on a time weighted basis.
    (iii) For gas streams containing more that 10 percent oxygen, the 
concentration of vinyl chloride as determined by Method 106 is to be 
corrected to 10 percent oxygen (dry basis) for determination of 
emissions by using the following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR17OC00.474

Where:

Cb(corrected) = The concentration of vinyl chloride in the 
          exhaust gases, corrected to 10 percent oxygen.
Cb = The concentration of vinyl chloride as measured by 
          Method 106.
20.9 = Percent oxygen in the ambient air at standard conditions.
10.9 = Percent oxygen in the ambient air at standard conditions, minus 
          the 10.0 percent oxygen to which the correction is being made.
Percent O2 = Percent oxygen in the exhaust gas as measured by 
          Method 3 of appendix A of part 60 of this chapter.

    (iv) For those emission sources where the emission limit is 
prescribed in terms of mass rather than concentration, mass emissions 
are to be determined using the following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR17OC00.475

Where:

CBX = Vinyl chloride emissions, g/kg (lb/lb) product.
Cb = Concentration of vinyl chloride as measured by Test 
          Method 106, ppmv.
DVC = Density of vinyl chloride at standard conditions, 2.60 
          kg/m\3\ (0.162 lb/ft\3\).
Q = Volumetric flow rate as determined by Method 2 of appendix A to part 
          60 of this chapter, m\3\/hr (ft\3\/hr).

[[Page 64]]

K = Unit conversion factor, 1,000 g/kg (1 lb/lb).
10-6 = Conversion factor for ppm.
Z = Production rate, kg/hr (lb/hr).

    (2) Method 107 or Method 601 (incorporated by reference as specified 
in Sec.61.18) is to be used to determine the concentration of vinyl 
chloride in each inprocess wastewater stream for which an emission limit 
is prescribed in Sec.61.65(b)(9)(i).
    (3) When a stripping operation is used to attain the emission limits 
in Sec.61.64(e) and (f), emissions are to be determined using Method 
107 as follows:
    (i) The number of strippers (or reactors used as strippers) and 
samples and the types and grades of resin to be sampled are to be 
determined by the Administrator for each individual plant at the time of 
the test based on the plant's operation.
    (ii) Each sample is to be taken immediately following the stripping 
operation.
    (iii) The corresponding quantity of material processed by each 
stripper (or reactor used as a stripper) is to be determined on a dry 
solids basis and by a method submitted to and approved by the 
Administrator.
    (iv) At the prior request of the Administrator, the owner or 
operator shall provide duplicates of the samples required in paragraph 
(g)(3)(i) of this section.
    (4) Where control technology other than or in addition to a 
stripping operation is used to attain the emission limit in Sec.
61.64(e), emissions are to be determined as follows:
    (i) Method 106 is to be used to determine atmospheric emissions from 
all of the process equipment simultaneously. The requirements of 
paragraph (g)(1) of this section are to be met.
    (ii) Method 107 is to be used to determine the concentration of 
vinyl chloride in each inprocess wastewater stream subject to the 
emission limit prescribed in Sec.61.64(e). Vinyl chloride mass 
emissions are to be determined using the following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR17OC00.476

Where:

CBX = Vinyl chloride emissions, g/kg (lb/lb) product in each 
          inprocess wastewater stream.
Crvc = Concentration of vinyl chloride in wastewater, as 
          measured by Method 107, ppmw.
Dwater = Density of wastewater, 1.0 kg/m\3\ (0.0624 lb/
          ft\3\).
Qwater = Wastewater flow rate, determined in accordance with 
          a method which has been submitted to and approved by the 
          Administrator, m\3\/hr (ft\3\/hr).
K = Unit conversion factor, 1,000 g/kg (1 lb/lb).
10-6 = Conversion factor for ppm.
Z = Production rate, kg/hr (lb/hr), determined in accordance with a 
          method which has been submitted to and approved by the 
          Administrator.

    (5) The reactor opening loss for which an emission limit is 
prescribed in Sec.61.64(a)(2) is to be determined. The number of 
reactors for which the determination is to be made is to be specified by 
the Administrator for each individual plant at the time of the 
determination based on the plant's operation.
    (i) Except as provided in paragraph (g)(5)(ii) of this section, the 
reactor opening loss is to be determined using the following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR17OC00.477

Where:

CBX = Vinyl chloride emissions, g/kg (lb/lb) product.
Cb = Concentration of vinyl chloride, in ppmv, as determined 
          by Method 106 or a portable hydrocarbon detector which 
          measures hydrocarbons with a sensitivity of at least 10 ppmv.
VR = Capacity of the reactor, m\3\ (ft\3\).
DVC = Density of vinyl chloride at standard conditions, 2.60 
          kg/m\3\ (0.162 lb/ft\3\).
K = Unit conversion factor, 1,000 g/kg (1 lb/lb).
10-6 = Conversion factor for ppm.
Z = Production rate, kg/hr (lb/hr).

    (A) If Method 106 is used to determine the concentration of vinyl 
chloride (Cb), the sample is to be withdrawn at a constant 
rate with a probe of sufficient length to reach the vessel bottom from 
the manhole. Samples are to be taken for 5 minutes within 6 inches of 
the vessel bottom, 5 minutes near the vessel center, and 5 minutes near 
the vessel top.

[[Page 65]]

    (B) If a portable hydrocarbon detector is used to determine the 
concentration of vinyl chloride (Cb), a probe of sufficient 
length to reach the vessel bottom from the manhole is to be used to make 
the measurements. One measurement will be made within 6 inches of the 
vessel bottom, one near the vessel center and one near the vessel top. 
Measurements are to be made at each location until the reading is 
stabilized. All hydrocarbons measured are to be assumed to be vinyl 
chloride.
    (C) The production rate of polyvinyl chloride (Z), which is the 
product of the average batch weight and the number of batches produced 
since the reactor was last opened to the atmosphere, is to be determined 
by a method submitted to and approved by the Administrator.
    (ii) A calculation based on the number of evacuations, the vacuum 
involved, and the volume of gas in the reactor is hereby approved by the 
Administrator as an alternative method for determining reactor opening 
loss for postpolymerization reactors in the manufacture of bulk resins. 
Calculation methods based on techniques other than repeated evacuation 
of the reactor may be approved by the Administrator for determining 
reactor opening loss for postpolymerization reactors in the manufacture 
of bulk resins.
    (6) For a reactor that is used as a stripper, the emissions of vinyl 
chloride from reactor opening loss and all sources following the reactor 
used as a stripper for which an emission limit is prescribed in Sec.
61.64(f) are to be determined. The number of reactors for which the 
determination is to be made is to be specified by the Administrator for 
each individual plant at the time of the determination based on the 
plant's operation.
    (i) For each batch stripped in the reactor, the following 
measurements are to be made:
    (A) The concentration of vinyl chloride in resin after stripping, 
measured according to paragraph (g)(3) of this section;
    (B) The reactor vacuum at end of strip from plant instrument; and
    (C) The reactor temperature at the end of strip from plant 
instrument.
    (ii) For each batch stripped in the reactor, the following 
information is to be determined:
    (A) The vapor pressure of water in the reactor at the end of strip 
from the following table:

PATM = Atmospheric pressure at 0 [deg]C (32 [deg]F), 760 mm 
          Hg (14.7 psia)
PRV = Absolute pressure of reactor vacuum, mm Hg (psia)
PW = Vapor pressure of water, mm Hg (psia)

    (C) The reactor vapor space volume at the end of the strip from the 
following equation:

Where:

VRVS = Reactor vapor space volume, m\3\ (ft\3\)
VR = Reactor capacity, m\3\ (ft\3\)

    (h)(1) Each piece of equipment within a process unit that can 
reasonably contain equipment in vinyl chloride service is presumed to be 
in vinyl chloride service unless an owner or operator demonstrates that 
the piece of equipment is not in vinyl chloride service. For a piece of 
equipment to be considered not in vinyl chloride service, it must be 
determined that the percent vinyl chloride content can be reasonably 
expected not to exceed 10 percent by weight for liquid streams or 
contained liquid volumes and 10 percent by volume for gas streams or 
contained gas volumes, which also includes gas volumes above liquid 
streams or contained liquid volumes. For purposes of determining the 
percent vinyl chloride content of the process fluid that is contained in 
or contacts equipment, procedures that conform to the methods described 
in ASTM D2267-68, 78, or 88 or D4420-94 (incorporated by reference as 
specified in Sec.61.18) shall be used.
    (2)(i) An owner or operator may use engineering judgment rather than 
the procedures in paragraph (h)(1) of this section to demonstrate that 
the percent vinyl chloride content does not exceed 10 percent by weight 
for liquid streams and 10 percent by volume for gas streams, provided 
that the engineering judgment demonstrates that the vinyl chloride 
content clearly does not exceed 10 percent. When an owner or operator 
and the Administrator do not agree on whether a piece of equipment is 
not in vinyl chloride service, however, the procedures in paragraph 
(h)(1) of this section shall be used to resolve the disagreement.
    (ii) If an owner or operator determines that a piece of equipment is 
in vinyl chloride service, the determination can be revised only after 
following the procedures in paragraph (h)(1) of this section.
    (3) Samples used in determining the percent vinyl chloride content 
shall be representative of the process fluid that is contained in or 
contacts the equipment.

Sec.61.68  Emission monitoring.

    (a) A vinyl chloride monitoring system is to be used to monitor on a 
continuous basis the emissions from the sources for which emission 
limits are prescribed in Sec. Sec.61.62 (a) and (b), 61.63(a), and 
61.64 (a)(1), (b), (c), and (d), and for any control system to which 
reactor emissions are required to be ducted in Sec.61.64(a)(2) or to 
which fugitive emissions are required to be ducted in Sec.61.65 
(b)(1)(ii), and (b)(2), (b)(5), (b)(6) (ii), and (b)(9)(ii).
    (b) The vinyl chloride monitoring system(s) used to meet the 
requirement in paragraph (a) of this section is to be a device which 
obtains representative samples from one or more applicable emission 
points on a continuous sequential basis and analyzes the samples with 
gas chromatography or, if the owner or operator assumes that all 
hydrocarbons measured are vinyl chloride, with infrared 
spectrophotometry, flame ion detection, or an alternative method. The 
vinyl chloride monitoring system used to meet the requirements in Sec.
61.65(b)(8)(i) may be used to meet the requirements of this section.
    (c) A daily span check is to be conducted for each vinyl chloride 
monitoring system used. For all of the emission sources listed in 
paragraph (a) of this section, except the one for which an emission 
limit is prescribed in Sec.61.62(b), the daily span check is to be 
conducted with a concentration of vinyl chloride equal to 10 ppm. For 
the emission source for which an emission limit is prescribed in Sec.
61.62(b), the daily span check is to be conducted with a concentration 
of vinyl chloride which is determined to be equivalent to the emission 
limit for that source based on the emission test required by Sec.
61.67. The calibration is to be done with either:
    (1) A calibration gas mixture prepared from the gases specified in 
Sections 7.2.1 and 7.2.2 of Method 106 and in accordance with Section 
10.1 of Method 106, or

[[Page 68]]

    (2) A calibration gas cylinder standard containing the appropriate 
concentration of vinyl chloride. The gas composition of the calibration 
gas cylinder standard is to have been certified by the manufacturer. The 
manufacturer must have recommended a maximum shelf life for each 
cylinder so that the concentration does not change greater than 5 percent from the certified value. The date of gas 
cylinder preparation, certified vinyl chloride concentration and 
recommended maximum shelf life must have been affixed to the cylinder 
before shipment from the manufacturer to the buyer. If a gas 
chromatograph is used as the vinyl chloride monitoring system, these gas 
mixtures may be directly used to prepare a chromatograph calibration 
curve as described in Sections 8.1 and 9.2 of Method 106. The 
requirements in Sections 7.2.3.1 and 7.2.3.2 of Method 106 for 
certification of cylinder standards and for establishment and 
verification of calibration standards are to be followed.
    (d) When exhaust gas(es), having emission limits that are subject to 
the requirement of paragraph (a) of this section, are emitted to the 
atmosphere without passing through the control system and required vinyl 
chloride monitoring system, the vinyl chloride content of the emission 
shall be calculated (in units of each applicable emission limit) by best 
practical engineering judgment based on the discharge duration and known 
VC concentrations in the affected equipment as determined in accordance 
with Sec.61.67(h) or other acceptable method.
    (e) For each 3-hour period, the vinyl chloride content of emissions 
subject to the requirements of paragraphs (a) and (d) of this section 
shall be averaged (weighted according to the proportion of time that 
emissions were continuously monitored and that emissions bypassed the 
continuous monitor) for purposes of reporting excess emissions under 
Sec.61.70(c)(1).
    (f) For each vinyl chloride emission to the atmosphere determined in 
accordance with paragraph (e) of this section to be in excess of the 
applicable emission limits, the owner or operator shall record the 
identity of the source(s), the date, time, and duration of the excess 
emission, the cause of the excess emission, and the approximate total 
vinyl chloride loss during the excess emission, and the method used for 
determining the vinyl chloride loss. This information shall be retained 
and made available for inspection by the Administrator as required by 
Sec.61.71(a).

the initial report is submitted.
    (2) In the case of an existing source, the approved reporting 
schedule shall be used. In addition, quarterly reports shall be 
submitted exactly 3 months following the current reporting dates.
    (b)(1) In the case of an existing source or a new source which has 
an initial startup date preceding the effective date, the first report 
is to be submitted within 180 days of the effective date, unless a 
waiver of compliance is granted under Sec.61.11. If a waiver of 
compliance is granted, the first report is to be submitted on a date 
scheduled by the Administrator.
    (2) In the case of a new source which did not have an initial 
startup date preceding the effective date, the first report is to be 
submitted within 180 days of the initial startup date.
    (c) Unless otherwise specified, the owner or operator shall use the 
test methods in appendix B to this part to conduct emission tests as 
required by paragraphs (c)(2) and (c)(3) of this section, unless an 
alternative method has been approved by the Administrator. If the 
Administrator finds reasonable grounds to dispute the results obtained 
by an alternative method, he may require the use of a reference method. 
If the results of the reference and alternative methods do not agree, 
the results obtained by the reference method prevail, and the 
Administrator may notify the owner or operator that approval of the 
method previously considered to be alternative is withdrawn.
    (1) The owner or operator shall include in the report a record of 
the vinyl chloride content of emissions for each 3-hour period during 
which average emissions are in excess of the emission limits in Sec.
61.62(a) or (b), Sec.61.63(a), or Sec.61.64(a)(1), (b), (c), or (d), 
or during which average emissions are in excess of the emission limits 
specified for any control system to which reactor emissions are required 
to be ducted in Sec.61.64(a)(2) or to which fugitive emissions are 
required to be ducted in Sec.61.65(b)(I)(ii), (b)(2), (b)(5), 
(b)(6)(ii), or (b)(9)(ii). The number of 3-hour periods for which 
average emissions were determined during the reporting period shall be 
reported. If emissions in excess of the emission limits are not 
detected, the report shall contain a statement that no excess emissions 
have been detected. The emissions are to be determined in accordance 
with Sec.61.68(e).
    (2) In polyvinyl chloride plants for which a stripping operation is 
used to attain the emission level prescribed in Sec.61.64(e), the 
owner or operator shall include in the report a record of the vinyl 
chloride content in the polyvinyl chloride resin.
    (i) If batch stripping is used, one representative sample of 
polyvinyl chloride resin is to be taken from each batch of each grade of 
resin immediately following the completion of the stripping operation, 
and identified by resin type and grade and the date and time the batch 
is completed. The corresponding quantity of material processed in each 
stripper batch is to be recorded and identified by resin type and grade 
and the date and time the batch is completed.
    (ii) If continuous stripping is used, one representative sample of 
polyvinyl chloride resin is to be taken for each grade of resin 
processed or at intervals of 8 hours for each grade of resin which is 
being processed, whichever is more frequent. The sample is to be taken 
as the resin flows out of the stripper and identified by resin type and 
grade and the date and time the sample was taken. The corresponding 
quantity of material processed by each stripper over the time period 
represented by the sample during the 8-hour period, is to be recorded 
and identified by resin type and grade and the date and time it 
represents.
    (iii) The vinyl chloride content in each sample is to be determined 
by Method 107 as prescribed in Sec.61.67(g)(3).
    (iv) [Reserved]
    (v) The report to the Administrator by the owner or operator is to 
include a record of any 24-hour average resin vinyl chloride 
concentration, as determined in this paragraph, in excess of

[[Page 70]]

the limits prescribed in Sec.61.64(e). The vinyl chloride content 
found in each sample required by paragraphs (c)(2)(i) and (c)(2)(ii) of 
this section shall be averaged separately for each type of resin, over 
each calendar day and weighted according to the quantity of each grade 
of resin processed by the stripper(s) that calendar day, according to 
the following equation:

          G3.
n = Total number of grades of resin produced during the 24-hour period.

    The number of 24-hour average concentrations for each resin type 
determined during the reporting period shall be reported. If no 24-hour 
average resin vinyl chloride concentrations in excess of the limits 
prescribed in Sec.61.64(e) are measured, the report shall state that 
no excess resin vinyl chloride concentrations were measured.
    (vi) The owner or operator shall retain at the source and make 
available for inspection by the Administrator for a minimum of 3 years 
records of all data needed to furnish the information required by 
paragraph (c)(2)(v) of this section. The records are to contain the 
following information:
    (A) The vinyl chloride content found in all the samples required in 
paragraphs (c)(2)(i) and (c)(2)(ii) of this section, identified by the 
resin type and grade and the time and date of the sample, and
    (B) The corresponding quantity of polyvinyl chloride resin processed 
by the stripper(s), identified by the resin type and grade and the time 
and date it represents.
    (3) The owner or operator shall include in the report a record of 
any emissions from each reactor opening in excess of the emission limits 
prescribed in Sec.61.64(a)(2). Emissions are to be determined in 
accordance with Sec.61.67(g)(5), except that emissions for each 
reactor are to be determined. The number of reactor openings during the 
reporting period shall be reported. If emissions in excess of the 
emission limits are not detected, the report shall include a statement 
that excess emissions have not been detected.
    (4) In polyvinyl chloride plants for which stripping in the reactor 
is used to attain the emission level prescribed in Sec.61.64(f), the 
owner or operator shall include in the report a record of the vinyl 
chloride emissions from reactor opening loss and all sources following 
the reactor used as a stripper.
    (i) One representative sample of polyvinyl chloride resin is to be 
taken from each batch of each grade of resin immediately following the 
completion of the stripping operation, and identified by resin type and 
grade and the date and time the batch is completed. The corresponding 
quantity of material processed in each stripper batch is to be recorded 
and identified by resin type and grade and the date and time the batch 
is completed.
    (ii) The vinyl chloride content in each sample is to be determined 
by Method 107 as prescribed in Sec.61.67(g)(3).
    (iii) The combined emissions from reactor opening loss and all

          Other Than Radon From Department of Energy Facilities

    Source: 54 FR 51695, Dec. 15, 1989, unless otherwise noted.



Sec.61.90  Designation of facilities.

    The provisions of this subpart apply to operations at any facility 
owned or operated by the Department of Energy that emits any 
radionuclide other than radon-222 and radon-220 into the air, except 
that this subpart does not apply to disposal at facilities subject to 40 
CFR part 191, subpart B or 40 CFR part 192.



Sec.61.91  Definitions.

    As used in this subpart, all terms not defined here have the meaning 
given them in the Clean Air Act or 40 CFR part 61, subpart A. The 
following terms shall have the following specific meanings:
    (a) Effective dose equivalent means the sum of the products of 
absorbed dose and appropriate factors to account for differences in 
biological effectiveness due to the quality of radiation and its 
distribution in the body of reference man. The unit of the effective 
dose equivalent is the rem. For purposes of this subpart, doses caused 
by radon-222 and its respective decay products formed after the radon is 
released from the facility are not included. The method for calculating 
effective dose equivalent and the definition of reference man are 
outlined in the International Commission on Radiological Protection's 
Publication No. 26.
    (b) Facility means all buildings, structures and operations on one 
contiguous site.
    (c) Radionuclide means a type of atom which spontaneously undergoes 
radioactive decay.
    (d) Residence means any home, house, apartment building, or other 
place of dwelling which is occupied during any portion of the relevant 
year.



Sec.61.92  Standard.

    Emissions of radionuclides to the ambient air from Department of 
Energy facilities shall not exceed those amounts that would cause any 
member of the public to receive in any year an effective dose equivalent 
of 10 mrem/yr.



Sec.61.93  Emission monitoring and test procedures.

    (a) To determine compliance with the standard, radionuclide 
emissions shall be determined and effective dose equivalent values to 
members of the public calculated using EPA approved sampling procedures, 
computer models CAP-88 or AIRDOS-PC, or other procedures for which EPA 
has granted prior approval. DOE facilities for which the maximally 
exposed individual lives within 3 kilometers of all sources of emissions 
in the facility, may use EPA's COMPLY model and associated procedures 
for determining dose for purposes of compliance.
    (b) Radionuclides emission rates from existing point sources (stacks 
or vents) shall be measured in accordance with the following 
requirements or with the requirements of paragraph (c) of this section, 
or other procedures for which EPA has granted prior approval:
    (1) Effluent flow rate measurements shall be made using the 
following methods:
    (i) Reference Method 2 of appendix A to part 60 of this chapter 
shall be used to determine velocity and volumetric flow rates for stacks 
and large vents.
    (ii) Reference Method 2A of appendix A to part 60 of this chapter 
shall be used to measure flow rates through pipes and small vents.
    (iii) The frequency of the flow rate measurements shall depend upon 
the variability of the effluent flow rate. For variable flow rates, 
continuous or frequent flow rate measurements shall be made. For 
relatively constant flow rates only periodic measurements are necessary.
    (2) Radionuclides shall be directly monitored or extracted, 
collected and measured using the following methods:
    (i) Reference Method 1 of appendix A to part 60 of this chapter 
shall be used to select monitoring or sampling sites.
    (ii) The effluent stream shall be directly monitored continuously 
with an in-line detector or representative samples of the effluent 
stream shall be

[[Page 73]]

withdrawn continuously from the sampling site following the guidance 
presented in ANSIN13.1-1969 ``Guide to Sampling Airborne Radioactive 
Materials in Nuclear Facilities'' (including the guidance presented in 
appendix A of ANSIN13.1) (incorporated by reference--see Sec.61.18). 
The requirements for continuous sampling are applicable to batch 
processes when the unit is in operation. Periodic sampling (grab 
samples) may be used only with EPA's prior approval. Such approval may 
be granted in cases where continuous sampling is not practical and 
radionuclide emission rates are relatively constant. In such cases, grab 
samples shall be collected with sufficient frequency so as to provide a 
representative sample of the emissions.
    (iii) Radionuclides shall be collected and measured using procedures 
based on the principles of measurement described in appendix B, Method 
114. Use of methods based on principles of measurement different from 
those described in appendix B, Method 114 must have prior approval from 
the Administrator. EPA reserves the right to approve measurement 
procedures.
    (iv) A quality assurance program shall be conducted that meets the 
performance requirements described in appendix B, Method 114.
    (3) When it is impractical to measure the effluent flow rate at an 
existing source in accordance with the requirements of paragraph (b)(1) 
of this section or to monitor or sample an effluent stream at an 
existing source in accordance with the site selection and sample 
extraction requirements of paragraph (b)(2) of this section, the 
facility owner or operator may use alternative effluent flow rate 
measurement procedures or site selection and sample extraction 
procedures provided that:
    (i) It can be shown that the requirements of paragraph (b) (1) or 
(2) of this section are impractical for the effluent stream.
    (ii) The alternative procedure will not significantly underestimate 
the emissions.
    (iii) The alternative procedure is fully documented.
    (iv) The owner or operator has received prior approval from EPA.
    (4)(i) Radionuclide emission measurements in conformance with the 
requirements of paragraph (b) of this section shall be made at all 
release points which have a potential to discharge radionuclides into 
the air in quantities which could cause an effective dose equivalent in 
excess of 1% of the standard. All radionuclides which could contribute 
greater than 10% of the potential effective dose equivalent for a 
release point shall be measured. With prior EPA approval, DOE may 
determine these emissions through alternative procedures. For other 
release points which have a potential to release radionuclides into the 
air, periodic confirmatory measurements shall be made to verify the low 
emissions.
    (ii) To determine whether a release point is subject to the emission 
measurement requirements of paragraph (b) of this section, it is 
necessary to evaluate the potential for radionuclide emissions for that 
release point. In evaluating the potential of a release point to 
discharge radionuclides into the air for the purposes of this section, 
the estimated radionuclide release rates shall be based on the discharge 
of the effluent stream that would result if all pollution control 
equipment did not exist, but the facilities operations were otherwise 
normal.
    (5) Environmental measurements of radionuclide air concentrations at 
critical receptor locations may be used as an alternative to air 
dispersion calculations in demonstrating compliance with the standard if 
the owner or operator meets the following criteria:
    (i) The air at the point of measurement shall be continuously 
sampled for collection of radionuclides.
    (ii) Those radionuclides released from the facility, which are the 
major contributors to the effective dose equivalent must be collected 
and measured as part of the environmental measurement program.
    (iii) Radionuclide concentrations which would cause an effective 
dose equivalent of 10% of the standard shall be readily detectable and 
distinguishable from background.
    (iv) Net measured radionuclide concentrations shall be compared to 
the concentration levels in Table 2 of appendix E to determine 
compliance with

[[Page 74]]

the standard. In the case of multiple radionuclides being released from 
a facility, compliance shall be demonstrated if the value for all 
radionuclides is less than the concentration level in Table 2, and the 
sum of the fractions that result when each measured concentration value 
is divided by the value in Table 2 for each radionuclide is less than 1.
    (v) A quality assurance program shall be conducted that meets the 
performance requirements described in appendix B, Method 114.
    (vi) Use of environmental measurements to demonstrate compliance 
with the standard is subject to prior approval of EPA. Applications for 
approval shall include a detailed description of the sampling and 
analytical methodology and show how the above criteria will be met.
    (c) Radionuclide emission rates from new point sources (stacks or 
vents) as defined in subpart A shall be measured in accordance with the 
following requirements, or other procedures for which EPA has granted 
prior approval:
    (1) Effluent flow rate measurements shall be made using the 
following methods:
    (i) ANSI/HPS N13.1-1999 ``Sampling and Monitoring Releases of 
Airborne Radioactive Substances from the Stacks and Ducts of Nuclear 
Facilities' (incorporated by reference--see Sec.61.18) shall be used 
to determine velocity and volumetric flow rates for stacks and large 
vents.
    (ii) ANSI/HPS N13.1-1999 shall be used to measure flow rates through 
pipes and small vents.
    (iii) The frequency of the flow rate measurements shall depend upon 
variability of the effluent flow rate. For variable flow rates, 
continuous or frequent flow rate measurements shall be made. For 
relatively constant flow rates only periodic measurements are necessary.
    (2) Radionuclide shall be directly monitored or extracted, collected 
and measured using the following methods:
    (i) ANSI/HPS N13.1-1999 shall be used to select monitoring or 
sampling sites.
    (ii) The effluent stream shall be directly monitored continuously 
with an in-line detector or representative samples of the effluent 
stream shall be withdrawn continuously from the sampling site following 
the guidance presented in ANSI/HPS N13.1-1999. The requirements for 
continuous sampling are applicable to batch processes when the unit is 
in operation. Periodic sampling (grab samples) may be used only with 
EPA's prior approval. Such approval may be granted in cases where 
continuous sampling is not practical and radionuclide emission rates are 
relatively constant. In such cases, grab samples shall be collected with 
sufficient frequency so as to provide a representative sample of the 
emissions.
    (iii) Radionuclides shall be collected and measured using procedures 
based on the principles of measurement described in appendix B, Method 
114 of this part. Use of methods based on principles of measurement 
different from those described in appendix B, Method 114 of this part 
must have prior approval from the Administrator. EPA reserves the right 
to approve measurement procedures.
    (iv) A quality assurance program shall be conducted that meets the 
performance requirements described in ANSI/HPS N13.1-1999.
    (d) When it is impractical to measure the effluent flow rate at a 
source in accordance with the requirements of paragraph (b)(1) or (c) of 
this section or to monitor or sample an effluent stream at a source in 
accordance with the site selection and sample extraction requirements of 
paragraph (b)(2) or (c) of this section, the facility owner or operator 
may use alternative effluent flow rate measurement procedures or site 
selection and sample extraction procedures provided that:
    (1) It can be shown that the requirements of paragraph (b)(1) or (2) 
or (c) of this section are impractical for the effluent stream.
    (2) The alternative procedure will not significantly underestimate 
the emissions.
    (3) The alternative procedure is fully documented.
    (4) The owner or operator has received prior approval from EPA.
    (e) Radionuclide emission measurements in conformance with the 
requirements of paragraph (b) or (c) of this section shall be made at 
all release

[[Page 75]]

points that have a potential to discharge radionuclides into the air in 
quantities that could cause an effective dose equivalent in excess of 1% 
of the standard. All radionuclides that could contribute greater than 
10% of the potential effective dose equivalent for a release point shall 
be measured. With prior EPA approval, DOE may determine these emissions 
through alternative procedures. For other release points that have a 
potential to release radionuclides into the air, periodic confirmatory 
measurements shall be made to verify the low emissions.
    (f) To determine whether a release point is subject to the emission 
measurement requirements of paragraph (b) or (c) of this section, it is 
necessary to evaluate the potential for radionuclide emissions for that 
release point. In evaluating the potential of a release point to 
discharge radionuclides into the air for the purposes of this section, 
the estimated radionuclide release rates shall be based on the discharge 
of the effluent stream that would result if all pollution control 
equipment did not exist, but the facilities operations were otherwise 
normal.
    (g) Environmental measurements of radionuclide air concentrations at 
critical receptor locations may be used as an alternative to air 
dispersion calculations in demonstrating compliance with the standard if 
the owner or operator meets the following criteria:
    (1) The air at the point of measurement shall be continuously 
sampled for collection of radionuclides.
    (2) Those radionuclides released from the facility that are the 
major contributors to the effective dose equivalent must be collected 
and measured as part of the environmental measurement program.
    (3) Radionuclide concentrations that would cause an effective dose 
equivalent of 10% of the standard shall be readily detectable and 
distinguishable from background.
    (4) Net measured radionuclide concentrations shall be compared to 
the concentration levels in Table 2 appendix E of this part to determine 
compliance with the standard. In the case of multiple radionuclides 
being released from a facility, compliance shall be demonstrated if the 
value for all radionuclides is less than the concentration level in 
Table 2 of appendix E of this part, and the sum of the fractions that 
result when each measured concentration value is divided by the value in 
Table 2 of appendix E of this part for each radionuclide is less than 1.
    (5) A quality assurance program shall be conducted that meets the 
performance requirements described in appendix B, Method 114 of this 
part.
    (6) Use of environmental measurements to demonstrate compliance with 
the standard is subject to prior approval of EPA. Applications for 
approval shall include a detailed description of the sampling and 
analytical methodology and show how the above criteria will be met.

business or office and the nearest farms producing vegetables, milk, and 
meat.
    (7) The values used for all other user-supplied input parameters for 
the computer models (e.g., meteorological data) and the source of these 
data.
    (8) A brief description of all construction and modifications which 
were completed in the calendar year for which the report is prepared, 
but for which the requirement to apply for approval to construct or 
modify was waived under Sec.61.96 and associated documentation 
developed by DOE to support the waiver. EPA reserves the right to 
require that DOE send to EPA all the information that normally would be 
required in an application to construct or modify, following receipt of 
the description and supporting documentation.
    (9) Each report shall be signed and dated by a corporate officer or 
public official in charge of the facility and contain the following 
declaration immediately above the signature line: ``I certify under 
penalty of law that I have personally examined and am familiar with the 
information submitted herein and based on my inquiry of those 
individuals immediately responsible for obtaining the information, I 
believe that the submitted information is true, accurate and complete. I 
am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false 
information including the possibility of fine and imprisonment. See, 18 
U.S.C. 1001.''
    (c) If the facility is not in compliance with the emission limits of 
Sec.61.92 in the calendar year covered by the report, then the 
facility must commence reporting to the Administrator on a monthly basis 
the information listed in paragraph (b) of this section, for the 
preceding month. These reports will start the month immediately 
following the submittal of the annual report for the year in 
noncompliance and will be due 30 days following the end of each month. 
This increased level of reporting will continue until the Administrator 
has determined that the monthly reports are no longer necessary. In 
addition to all the information required in paragraph (b) of this 
section, monthly reports shall also include the following information:
    (1) All controls or other changes in operation of the facility that 
will be or are being installed to bring the facility into compliance.
    (2) If the facility is under a judicial or administrative 
enforcement decree, the report will describe the facilities performance 
under the terms of the decree.
    (d) In those instances where the information requested is 
classified, such information will be made available to EPA separate from 
the report and will be handled and controlled according to applicable 
security and classification regulations and requirements.



Sec.61.95  Recordkeeping requirements.

    All facilities must maintain records documenting the source of input 
parameters including the results of all measurements upon which they are 
based, the calculations and/or analytical methods used to derive values 
for input parameters, and the procedure used to determine effective dose 
equivalent. This documentation should be sufficient to allow an 
independent auditor to verify the accuracy of the determination made 
concerning the facility's compliance with the standard. These records 
must be kept at the site of the facility for at least five years and, 
upon request, be made available for inspection by the Administrator, or 
his authorized representative.



Sec.61.96  Applications to construct or modify.

    (a) In addition to any activity that is defined as construction 
under 40 CFR part 61, subpart A, any fabrication, erection or 
installation of a new building or structure within a facility that emits 
radionuclides is also defined as new construction for purposes of 40 CFR 
part 61, subpart A.
    (b) An application for approval under Sec.61.07 or notification of 
startup under Sec.61.09 does not need to be filed for any new 
construction of or modification within an existing facility if the 
effective dose equivalent, caused by all emissions from the new 
construction or modification, is less than 1% of the standard prescribed 
in Sec.61.92. For purposes of this paragraph the effective dose 
equivalent shall be calculated

[[Page 77]]

using the source term derived using appendix D as input to the 
dispersion and other computer models described in Sec.61.93. DOE may, 
with prior approval from EPA, use another procedure for estimating the 
source term for use in this paragraph. A facility is eligible for this 
exemption only if, based on its last annual report, the facility is in 
compliance with this subpart.
    (c) Conditions to approvals granted under Sec.61.08 will not 
contain requirements for post approval reporting on operating conditions 
beyond those specified in Sec.61.94.



Sec.61.97  Exemption from the reporting and testing requirements
of 40 CFR 61.10.

    All facilities designated under this subpart are exempt from the 
reporting requirements of 40 CFR 61.10.

documenting the source of input parameters including the results of all 
measurements upon which they are based, the calculations and/or 
analytical methods used to derive values for input parameters, and the 
procedure used to determine compliance. This documentation should be 
sufficient to allow an independent auditor to verify the accuracy of the 
determination made concerning the facility's compliance with the 
standard, and, if claimed, qualification for exemption from reporting. 
These records must be kept at the site of the facility for at least five 
years and upon request be made available for inspection by the 
Administrator, or his authorized representative.



Sec.61.106  Applications to construct or modify.

    (a) In addition to any activity that is defined as construction 
under 40 CFR part 61, subpart A, any fabrication, erection or 
installation of a new building or structure within a facility is also 
defined as new construction for purposes of 40 CFR part 61, subpart A.
    (b) An application under Sec.61.07 does not need to be filed for

Sec.61.102. A facility is eligible for this exemption only if the 
facility, based on its last annual report, is in compliance with this 
subpart.



Sec.61.107  Emission determination.

    (a) Facility owners or operators may, in lieu of monitoring, 
estimate radionuclide emissions in accordance with appendix D, or other 
procedure for which EPA has granted prior approval.
    (b) Radionuclide emission rates from existing point sources (stacks 
or vents) shall be measured in accordance with the following 
requirements or within the requirements of paragraph (d) of this 
section, or other procedures for which EPA has granted prior approval:
    (1) Effluent flow rate measurements shall be made using the 
following methods:
    (i) Reference Method 2 of appendix A to part 60 of this chapter 
shall be used to determine velocity and volumetric flow rates for stacks 
and large vents.
    (ii) Reference Method 2A of appendix A to part 60 of this chapter 
shall be used to measure flow rates through pipes and small vents.
    (iii) The frequency of the flow rate measurements shall depend upon 
the variability of the effluent flow rate. For variable flow rates, 
continuous or frequent flow rate measurements shall be made. For 
relatively constant flow rates only periodic measurements are necessary.

[[Page 80]]

    (2) Radionuclides shall be directly monitored or extracted, 
collected, and measured using the following methods:
    (i) Reference Method 1 of appendix A part 60 of this chapter shall 
be used to select monitoring or sampling sites.
    (ii) The effluent stream shall be directly monitored continuously 
using an in-line detector or representative samples of the effluent 
stream shall be withdrawn continuously from the sampling site following 
the guidance presented in ANSIN13.1-1969 ``Guide to Sampling Airborne 
Radioactive Materials in Nuclear Facilities'' (including the guidance 
presented in appendix A of ANSIN13.1) (incorporated by reference--see 
Sec.61.18). The requirements for continuous sampling are applicable to 
batch processes when the unit is in operation. Periodic sampling (grab 
samples) may be used only with EPA's prior approval. Such approval may 
be granted in cases where continuous sampling is not practical and 
radionuclide emission rates are relatively constant. In such cases, grab 
samples shall be collected with sufficient frequency so as to provide a 
representative sample of the emissions.
    (iii) Radionuclides shall be collected and measured using procedures 
based on the principles of measurement described in appendix B, Method 
114. Use of methods based on principles of measurement different from 
those described in appendix B, Method 114 must have prior approval from 
the Administrator. EPA reserves the right to approve alternative 
measurement procedures in whole or in part.
    (iv) A quality assurance program shall be conducted that meets the 
performance requirements described in appendix B, Method 114.
    (3) When it is impractical to measure the effluent flow rate at an 
existing source in accordance with the requirements of paragraph (b)(1) 
of this section or to monitor or sample an effluent stream at an 
existing source in accordance with the site selection and sample 
extraction requirements of paragraph (b)(2) of this section, the 
facility owner or operator may use alternative effluent flow rate 
measurement procedures or site selection and sample extraction 
procedures provided that:
    (i) It can be shown that the requirements of paragraphs (b) (1) and 
(2) of this section are impractical for the effluent stream.
    (ii) The alternative procedure will not significantly underestimate 
the emissions.
    (iii) The alternative procedure is fully documented.
    (iv) The owner or operator has received prior approval from EPA.
    (4)(i) Radionuclide emission measurements in conformance with the 
requirements of paragraph (b) of this section shall be made at all 
release points which have a potential to discharge radionuclides into 
the air in quantities which could cause an effective dose equivalent in 
excess of 1% of the standard. All radionuclides which could contribute 
greater than 10% of the potential effective dose equivalent for a 
release point shall be measured. For other release points which have a 
potential to release radionuclides into the air, periodic confirmatory 
measurements should be made to verify the low emissions.
    (ii) To determine whether a release point is subject to the emission 
measurement requirements of paragraph (b) of this section, it is 
necessary to evaluate the potential for radionuclide emissions for that 
release point. In evaluating the potential of a release point to 
discharge radionuclides into the air, the estimated radionuclide release 
rates shall be based on the discharge of the uncontrolled effluent 
stream into the air.
    (5) Environmental measurements of radionuclide air concentrations at 
critical receptor locations may be used as an alternative to air 
dispersion calculations in demonstrating compliance with the standards 
if the owner or operator meets the following criteria:
    (i) The air at the point of measurement shall be continuously 
sampled for collection of radionuclides.
    (ii) Those radionuclides released from the facility, which are the 
major contributors to the effective dose equivalent must be collected 
and measured as part of the environmental measurements program.
    (iii) Radionuclide concentrations which would cause an effective 
dose equivalent greater than or equal to 10%

[[Page 81]]

of the standard shall be readily detectable and distinguishable from 
background.
    (iv) Net measured radionuclide concentrations shall be compared to 
the concentration levels in Table 2 of appendix E to determine 
compliance with the standard. In the case of multiple radionuclides 
being released from a facility, compliance shall be demonstrated if the 
value for all radionuclides is less than the concentration level in 
Table 2 and the sum of the fractions that result when each measured 
concentration value is divided by the value in Table 2 for each 
radionuclide is less than 1.
    (v) A quality assurance program shall be conducted that meets the 
performance requirements described in appendix B, Method 114.
    (vi) Use of environmental measurements to demonstrate compliance 
with the standard is subject to prior approval of EPA. Applications for 
approval shall include a detailed description of the sampling and 
analytical methodology and show how the above criteria will be met.
    (c) The following facilities may use either the methodologies and 
quality assurance programs described in paragraph (b) of this section or 
may use the following:
    (1) [Reserved]
    (2) Uranium mills may determine their emissions in conformance with 
the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Regulatory Guide 4.14 dated April 
1980. In addition, they may conduct a quality assurance program as 
described in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Regulatory Guide 4.15 
dated February 1979.
    (d) Radionuclide emission rates from new point sources (stacks or 
vents) as defined in subpart A shall be measured in accordance with the 
following requirements, or other procedures for which EPA has granted 
prior approval:
    (1) Effluent flow rate measurements shall be made using the 
following methods:
    (i) ANSI/HPS N13.1-1999 ``Sampling and Monitoring Releases of 
Airborne Radioactive Substances from the Stacks and Ducts of Nuclear 
Facilities'' (incorporated by reference--see Sec.61.18) shall be used 
to determine velocity and volumetric flow rates for stacks and large 
vents.
    (ii) ANSI/HPS N13.1-1999 shall be used to measure flow rates through 
pipes and small vents.
    (iii) The frequency of the flow rate measurements shall depend upon 
variability of the effluent flow rate. For variable flow rates, 
continuous or frequent flow rate measurements shall be made. For 
relatively constant flow rates only periodic measurements are necessary.
    (2) Radionuclide shall be directly monitored or extracted, collected 
and measured using the following methods:
    (i) ANSI/HPS N13.1-1999 shall be used to select monitoring or 
sampling sites.
    (ii) The effluent stream shall be directly monitored continuously 
with an in-line detector or representative samples of the effluent 
stream shall be withdrawn continuously from the sampling site following 
the guidance presented in ANSI/HPS N13.1-1999. The requirements for 
continuous sampling are applicable to batch processes when the unit is 
in operation. Periodic sampling (grab samples) may be used only with 
EPA's prior approval. Such approval may be granted in cases where 
continuous sampling is not practical and radionuclide emission rates are 
relatively constant. In such cases, grab samples shall be collected with 
sufficient frequency so as to provide a representative sample of the 
emissions.
    (iii) Radionuclides shall be collected and measured using procedures 
based on the principles of measurement described in appendix B, Method 
114 of this part. Use of methods based on principles of measurement 
different from those described in appendix B, Method 114 of this part 
must have prior approval from the Administrator. EPA reserves the right 
to approve measurement procedures.
    (iv) A quality assurance program shall be conducted that meets the 
performance requirements described in ANSI/HPS N13.1-1999.
    (e) When it is impractical to measure the effluent flow rate at a 
source in accordance with the requirements of paragraph (b)(1) or (d) of 
this section or to monitor or sample an effluent stream at a source in 
accordance with

[[Page 82]]

the site selection and sample extraction requirements of paragraph 
(b)(2) or (d) of this section, the facility owner or operator may use 
alternative effluent flow rate measurement procedures or site selection 
and sample extraction procedures provided that:
    (1) It can be shown that the requirements of paragraph (b)(1) or (2) 
or (d) of this section are impractical for the effluent stream.
    (2) The alternative procedure will not significantly underestimate 
the emissions.
    (3) The alternative procedure is fully documented.
    (4) The owner or operator has received prior approval from EPA.
    (f) Radionuclide emission measurements in conformance with the 
requirements of paragraph (b) or (d) of this section shall be made at 
all release points that have a potential to discharge radionuclides into 
the air in quantities that could cause an effective dose equivalent in 
excess of 1% of the standard. All radionuclides that could contribute 
greater than 10% of the potential effective dose equivalent for a 
release point shall be measured. With prior EPA approval, DOE may 
determine these emissions through alternative procedures. For other 
release points that have a potential to release radionuclides into the 
air, periodic confirmatory measurements shall be made to verify the low 
emissions.
    (g) To determine whether a release point is subject to the emission 
measurement requirements of paragraph (b) or (d) of this section, it is 
necessary to evaluate the potential for radionuclide emissions for that 
release point. In evaluating the potential of a release point to 
discharge radionuclides into the air for the purposes of this section, 
the estimated radionuclide release rates shall be based on the discharge 
of the effluent stream that would result if all pollution control 
equipment did not exist, but the facilities operations were otherwise 
normal.
    (h) Environmental measurements of radionuclide air concentrations at 
critical receptor locations may be used as an alternative to air 
dispersion calculations in demonstrating compliance with the standard if 
the owner or operator meets the following criteria:
    (1) The air at the point of measurement shall be continuously 
sampled for collection of radionuclides.
    (2) Those radionuclides released from the facility that are the 
major contributors to the effective dose equivalent must be collected 
and measured as part of the environmental measurement program.
    (3) Radionuclide concentrations that would cause an effective dose 
equivalent of 10% of the standard shall be readily detectable and 
distinguishable from background.
    (4) Net measured radionuclide concentrations shall be compared to 
the concentration levels in Table 2 of appendix E of this part to 
determine compliance with the standard. In the case of multiple 
radionuclides being released from a facility, compliance shall be 
demonstrated if the value for all radionuclides is less than the 
concentration level in Table 2 of appendix E of this part, and the sum 
of the fractions that result when each measured concentration value is 
divided by the value in Table 2 of appendix E of this part for each 
radionuclide is less than 1.
    (5) A quality assurance program shall be conducted that meets the 
performance requirements described in appendix B, Method 114 of this 
part.
    (6) Use of environmental measurements to demonstrate compliance with 
the standard is subject to prior approval of EPA. Applications for 
approval shall include a detailed description of the sampling and 
analytical methodology and show how the above criteria will be met.

 Subpart K_National Emission Standards for Radionuclide Emissions From 
                       Elemental Phosphorus Plants

    Source: 54 FR 51699, Dec. 15, 1989, unless otherwise noted.



Sec.61.120  Applicability.

    The provisions of this subpart are applicable to owners or operators 
of calciners and nodulizing kilns at elemental phosphorus plants.



Sec.61.121  Definitions.

    (a) Elemental phosphorus plant or plant means any facility that 
processes phosphate rock to produce elemental phosphorus. A plant 
includes all buildings, structures, operations, calciners and nodulizing 
kilns on one contiguous site.

[[Page 84]]

    (b) Calciner or Nodulizing kiln means a unit in which phosphate rock 
is heated to high temperatures to remove organic material and/or to 
convert it to a nodular form. For the purpose of this subpart, calciners 
and nodulizing kilns are considered to be similar units.



Sec.61.122  Emission standard.

    Emissions of polonium-210 to the ambient air from all calciners and 
nodulizing kilns at an elemental phosphorus plant shall not exceed a 
total of 2 curies a year; except that compliance with this standard may 
be conclusively shown if the elemental phosphorus plant:
    (a) Installs a Hydro-Sonic [supreg] Tandem Nozzle Fixed Throat Free-
Jet Scrubber System including four scrubber units,
    (b) All four scrubber units are operated continuously with a minimum 
average over any 6-hour period of 40 inches (water column) of pressure 
drop across each scrubber during calcining of phosphate shale,
    (c) The system is used to scrub emissions from all calciners and/or 
nodulizing kilns at the plant, and
    (d) Total emissions of polonium-210 from the plant do not exceed 4.5 
curies per year.

Alternative operating conditions, which can be shown to achieve an 
overall removal efficiency for emissions of polonium-210 which is equal 
to or greater than the efficiency which would be achieved under the 
operating conditions described in paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this 
section, may be used with prior approval of the Administrator. A 
facility shall apply for such approval in writing, and the Administrator 
shall act upon the request within 30 days after receipt of a complete 
and technically sufficient application.

[56 FR 65943, Dec. 19, 1991]



Sec.61.123  Emission testing.

    (a) Each owner or operator of an elemental phosphorus plant shall 
test emissions from the plant within 90 days of the effective date of 
this standard and annually thereafter. The Administrator may temporarily 
or permanently waive the annual testing requirement or increase the 
frequency of testing, if the Administrator determines that more testing 
is required.
    (b) The Administrator shall be notified at least 30 days prior to an 
emission test so that EPA may, at its option, observe the test.
    (c) An emission test shall be conducted at each operational calciner 
or nodulizing kiln. If emissions from a calciner or nodulizing kiln are 
discharged through more than one stack, then an emission test shall be 
conducted at each stack and the total emission rate from the calciner or 
kiln shall be the sum of the emission rates from each of the stacks.
    (d) Each emission test shall consist of three sampling runs that 
meet the requirements of Sec.61.125. The phosphate rock processing 
rate during each run shall be recorded. An emission rate in curies per 
Mg or curies per ton of phosphate rock processed shall be calculated for 
each run. The average of all three runs shall apply in computing the 
emission rate for the test. The annual polonium-210 emission rate from a 
calciner or nodulizing kiln shall be determined by multiplying the 
measured polonium-210 emission rate in curies per Mg or curies per ton 
of phosphate rock processed by the annual phosphate rock processing rate 
in Mg (tons). In determining the annual phosphate rock processing rate, 
the values used for operating hours and operating capacity shall be 
values that will maximize the expected processing rate. For determining 
compliance with the emission standard of Sec.61.122, the total annual 
emission rate is the sum of the annual emission rates for all operating 
calciners and nodulizing kilns.
    (e) If the owner or operator changes his operation in such a way as 
to increase his emissions of polonium-210, such as changing the type of 
rock processed, the temperature of the calciners or kilns, or increasing 
the annual phosphate rock processing rate, then a new emission test, 
meeting the requirements of this section, shall be conducted within 45 
days under these conditions.
    (f) Each owner or operator of an elemental phosphorus plant shall 
furnish the Administrator with a written report of the results of the 
emission test within 60 days of conducting the test.

[[Page 85]]

The report must provide the following information:
    (1) The name and location of the facility.
    (2) The name of the person responsible for the operation of the 
facility and the name of the person preparing the report (if different).
    (3) A description of the effluent controls that are used on each 
stack, vent, or other release point and an estimate of the efficiency of 
each device.
    (4) The results of the testing, including the results of each 
sampling run completed.
    (5) The values used in calculating the emissions and the source of 
these data.
    (6) Each report shall be signed and dated by a corporate officer in 
charge of the facility and contain the following declaration immediately 
above the signature line: ``I certify under penalty of law that I have 
personally examined and am familiar with the information submitted 
herein and based on my inquiry of those individuals immediately 
responsible for obtaining the information, I believe that the submitted 
information is true, accurate and complete. I am aware that there are 
significant penalties for submitting false information including the 
possibility of fine and imprisonment. See, 18 U.S.C. 1001.''

independent auditor to verify the accuracy of the results of the 
emission testing. These records must be kept at the site of the plant 
for at least five years and, upon request, be made available for 
inspection by the Administrator, or his authorized representative.



Sec.61.125  Test methods and procedures.

    (a) Each owner or operator of a source required to test emissions 
under Sec.61.123, unless an equivalent or alternate method has been 
approved by the Administrator, shall use the following test methods:
    (1) Method 1 of appendix A to 40 CFR part 60 shall be used to 
determine sample and velocity traverses;

detectable emissions, as indicated by an instrument reading of less than 
500 ppm above background and visual inspections, as determined by the 
methods specified in Sec.61.245(c). This system can be designed as a 
closed, positive pressure, gas blanketing system.
    (i) Except, the owner or operator may elect to install, operate, and 
maintain a pressure relief device, vacuum relief device, an access 
hatch, and a sampling port on each process vessel, tar storage tank, and

equipped with a gasket and a cover, seal, or lid that must be kept in a 
closed position at all times, unless in actual use.
    (ii) The owner or operator may elect to leave open to the atmosphere 
the portion of the liquid surface in each tar decanter necessary to 
permit operation of a sludge conveyor. If the owner or operator elects 
to maintain an opening on part of the liquid surface of the tar 
decanter, the owner or operator shall install, operate, and maintain a 
water leg seal on the tar decanter roof near the sludge discharge chute 
to ensure enclosure of the major portion of liquid surface not necessary 
for the operation of the sludge conveyor.

the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section, the owner or operator 
shall monitor the connections and seals on each control system to 
determine if it is operating with no detectable emissions, using Method 
21 (40 CFR part 60, appendix A) and procedures specified in Sec.
61.245(c), and shall visually inspect each source (including sealing 
materials) and the ductwork of the control system for evidence of 
visible defects such as gaps or tears. This monitoring and inspection 
shall be conducted on a semiannual basis and at any other time after the 
control system is repressurized with blanketing gas following removal of 
the cover or opening of the access hatch.
    (1) If an instrument reading indicates an organic chemical 
concentration more than 500 ppm above a background concentration, as 
measured by Method 21, a leak is detected.
    (2) If visible defects such as gaps in sealing materials are 
observed during a visual inspection, a leak is detected.
    (3) When a leak is detected, it shall be repaired as soon as 
practicable, but not later than 15 calendar days after it is detected.
    (4) A first attempt at repair of any leak or visible defect shall be 
made no later than 5 calendar days after each leak is detected.
    (c) Following the installation of any control system used to meet 
the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section, the owner or operator 
shall conduct a maintenance inspection of the control system on an 
annual basis for evidence of system abnormalities, such as blocked or 
plugged lines, sticking valves, plugged condensate traps, and other 
maintenance defects that could result in abnormal system operation. The 
owner or operator shall make a first attempt at repair within 5 days, 
with repair within 15 days of detection.
    (d) Each owner or operator of a furnace coke by-product recovery 
plant

Sec.61.139  Provisions for alternative means for process vessels,
storage tanks, and tar-intercepting sumps.

    (a) As an alternative means of emission limitation for a source 
subject to Sec.61.132(a)(2) or Sec.61.132(d), the owner or operator 
may route gases from the source through a closed vent system to a carbon 
adsorber or vapor incinerator that is at least 98 percent efficient at 
removing benzene from the gas stream.
    (1) The provisions of Sec.61.132(a)(1) and Sec.61.132(a) (2)(i) 
and (ii) shall apply to the source.
    (2) The seals on the source and closed vent system shall be designed 
and operated for no detectable emissions, as indicated by an instrument 
reading of less than 500 ppm above background and visual inspections, as 
determined by the methods specified in Sec.61.245(c).
    (3) The provisions of Sec.61.132(b) shall apply to the seals and 
closed vent system.
    (b) For each carbon adsorber, the owner or operator shall adhere to 
the following practices:
    (1) Benzene captured by each carbon adsorber shall be recycled or 
destroyed in a manner that prevents benzene from being emitted to the 
atmosphere.
    (2) Carbon removed from each carbon adsorber shall be regenerated or 
destroyed in a manner that prevents benzene from being emitted to the 
atmosphere.
    (3) For each regenerative carbon adsorber, the owner or operator 
shall initiate regeneration of the spent carbon bed and vent the 
emissions from the source to a regenerated carbon bed no later than when 
the benzene concentration or organic vapor concentration level in the 
adsorber outlet vent reaches the maximum concentration point, as 
determined in Sec.61.139(h).
    (4) For each non-regenerative carbon adsorber, the owner or operator 
shall

[[Page 93]]

replace the carbon at the scheduled replacement time, or as soon as 
practicable (but not later than 16 hours) after an exceedance of the 
maximum concentration point is detected, whichever is sooner.
    (i) For each non-regenerative carbon adsorber, the scheduled 
replacement time means the day that is estimated to be 90 percent of the 
demonstrated bed life, as defined in Sec.61.139(h)(5).
    (ii) For each non-regenerative carbon adsorber, an exceedance of the 
maximum concentration point shall mean any concentration greater than or 
equal to the maximum concentration point as determined in Sec.
61.139(h).
    (c) Compliance with the provisions of this section shall be 
determined as follows:
    (1) For each carbon adsorber and vapor incinerator, the owner or 
operator shall demonstrate compliance with the efficiency limit by a 
compliance test as specified in Sec.61.13 and Sec.61.139(g). If a 
waiver of compliance has been granted under Sec.61.11, the deadline 
for conducting the initial compliance test shall be incorporated into 
the terms of the waiver. The benzene removal efficiency rate for each 
carbon adsorber and vapor incinerator shall be calculated as in the 
following equation:


Where:

E = percent removal of benzene.
Caj = concentration of benzene in vents after the control 
          device, parts per million (ppm).
Cbi = concentration of benzene in vents before the control 
          device, ppm.
Qaj = volumetric flow rate in vents after the control device, 
          standard cubic meters/minute (scm/min) [standard cubic feet/
          minute (scf/min)].
Qbi = volumetric flow rate in vents before the control 
          device, scm/min (scf/min).
m = number of vents after the control device.
n = number of vents after the control device.

    (2) Compliance with all other provisions in this section shall be 
determined by inspections or the review of records and reports.
    (d) For each regenerative carbon adsorber, the owner or operator 
shall install and operate a monitoring device that continuously 
indicates and records either the concentration of benzene or the 
concentration level of organic compounds in the outlet vent of the 
carbon adsorber. The monitoring device shall be installed, calibrated, 
maintained and operated in accordance with the manufacturer's 
specifications.
    (1) Measurement of benzene concentration shall be made according to 
Sec.61.139(g)(2).
    (2) All measurements of organic compound concentration levels shall 
be reasonable indicators of benzene concentration.
    (i) The monitoring device for measuring organic compound 
concentration levels shall be based on one of the following detection 
principles: Infrared absorption, flame ionization, catalytic oxidation, 
photoionization, or thermal conductivity.
    (ii) The monitoring device shall meet the requirements of part 60, 
appendix A, Method 21, sections 2, 3, 4.1, 4.2, and 4.4. For the purpose 
of the application of Method 21 to this section, the words ``leak 
definition'' shall be the maximum concentration point, which would be 
estimated until it is established under Sec.61.139(h). The calibration 
gas shall either be benzene or methane and shall be at a concentration 
associated with 125 percent of the expected organic compound 
concentration level for the carbon adsorber outlet vent.
    (e) For each non-regenerative carbon adsorber, the owner or operator 
shall monitor either the concentration of benzene or the concentration 
level of organic compounds at the outlet vent of the adsorber. The 
monitoring device shall be calibrated, operated and maintained in 
accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
    (1) Measurements of benzene concentration shall be made according to 
Sec.61.139(g)(2). The measurement shall be conducted over at least one 
5-minute interval during which flow into the carbon adsorber is expected 
to occur.
    (2) All measurements of organic compound concentration levels shall 
be reasonable indicators of benzene concentration.

[[Page 94]]

    (i) The monitoring device for measuring organic compound 
concentration levels shall meet the requirements of paragraphs Sec.
61.139(d)(2) (i) and (ii).
    (ii) The probe inlet of the monitoring device shall be placed at 
approximately the center of the carbon adsorber outlet vent. The probe 
shall be held there for at least 5 minutes during which flow into the 
carbon adsorber is expected to occur. The maximum reading during that 
period shall be used as the measurement.
    (3) Monitoring shall be performed at least once within the first 7 
days after replacement of the carbon bed occurs, and monthly thereafter 
until 10 days before the scheduled replacement time, at which point 
monitoring shall be done daily, except as specified in paragraphs (e)(4) 
and (e)(5) of this section.
    (4) If an owner or operator detects an exceedance of the maximum 
concentration point during the monthly monitoring or on the first day of 
daily monitoring as prescribed in paragraph (e)(3) of this section, 
then, after replacing the bed, the owner or operator shall begin the 
daily monitoring of the replacement carbon bed on the day after the last 
scheduled monthly monitoring before the exceedance was detected, or 10 
days before the exceedance was detected, whichever is longer.
    (5) If an owner or operator detects an exceedance of the maximum 
concentration point during the daily monitoring as prescribed in 
paragraph (e)(3) of this section, except on the first day, then, after 
replacing the bed, the owner or operator shall begin the daily 
monitoring of the replacement carbon bed 10 days before the exceedance 
was detected.
    (6) If the owner or operator is monitoring on the schedule required 
in paragraph (e)(4) or paragraph (e)(5) of this section, and the 
scheduled replacement time is reached without exceeding the maximum 
concentration point, the owner or operator may return to the monitoring 
schedule in paragraph (e)(3) of this section for subsequent carbon beds.
    Note: This note provides an example of the monitoring schedules in 
paragraphs (e)(3), (e)(4) and (e)(5) of this section. Assume that the 
scheduled replacement time for a non-regenerative carbon adsorber is the 
105th day after installation. According to the monitoring schedule in 
paragraph (e)(3) of this section, initial monitoring would be done 
within 7 days after installation, monthly monitoring would be done on 
the 30th, 60th and 90th days, and daily monitoring would begin on the 
95th day after installation. Now assume that an exceedance of the 
maximum concentration point is detected on the 90th day after 
installation. On the replacement carbon bed, the owner or operator would 
begin daily monitoring on the 61st day after installation (i.e., the day 
after the last scheduled monthly monitoring before the exceedance was 
detected), according to the requirements in paragraph (e)(4) of this 
section. If, instead, the exceedance were detected on the first bed on 
the 95th day, the daily monitoring of the replacement bed would begin on 
the 85th day after installation (i.e., 10 days before the point in the 
cycle where the exceedance was detected); this is a second example of 
the requirements in paragraph (e)(4) of this section. Finally, assume 
that an exceedance of the maximum concentration point is detected on the 
100th day after the first carbon adsorber was installed. According to 
paragraph (e)(5) of this section, daily monitoring of the replacement 
bed would begin on the 90th day after installation (i.e., 10 days 
earlier than when the exceedance was detected on the previous bed). In 
all of these examples, the initial monitoring of the replacement bed 
within 7 days of installation and the monthly monitoring would proceed 
as set out in paragraph (e)(3) of this section until daily monitoring 
was required.
    (f) For each vapor incinerator, the owner or operator shall comply 
with the monitoring requirements specified below:
    (1) Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate according to the 
manufacturer's specifications a temperature monitoring device equipped 
with a continuous recorder and having an accuracy of 1 percent of the temperature being monitored expressed 
in degrees Celsius or 0.5 [deg]C, whichever is 
greater.
    (i) Where a vapor incinerator other than a catalytic incinerator is 
used, the temperature monitoring device shall be installed in the 
firebox.
    (ii) Where a catalytic incinerator is used, temperature monitoring 
devices shall be installed in the gas stream immediately before and 
after the catalyst bed.

paragraph (f)(3)(iii) of this section.

[[Page 95]]

    (i) Install, calibrate, maintain and operate according to the 
manufacturer's specifications a flow indicator that provides a record of 
vent stream flow to the incinerator at least once every hour for each 
source. The flow indicator shall be installed in the vent stream from 
each source at a point closest to the inlet of each vapor incinerator 
and before being joined with any other vent stream.
    (ii) Install, calibrate, maintain and operate according to the 
manufacturer's specifications a flow indicator that provides a record of 
vent stream flow away from the vapor incinerator at least once every 15 
minutes. The flow indicator shall be installed in each bypass line, 
immediately downstream of the valve that, if opened, would divert the 
vent stream away from the vapor incinerator.
    (iii) Where a valve that opens a bypass line is secured in the 
closed position with a car seal or a lock-and-key configuration, a flow 
indicator is not required. The owner or operator shall perform a visual 
inspection at least once every month to check the position of the valve 
and the condition of the car seal or lock-and-key configuration. The 
owner or operator shall also record the date and duration of each time 
that the valve was opened and the vent stream diverted away from the 
vapor incinerator.
    (g) In conducting the compliance tests required in Sec.61.139(c), 
and measurements specified in Sec.61.139(d)(1), (e)(1) and (h)(3)(ii), 
the owner or operator shall use as reference methods the test methods 
and procedures in appendix A to 40 CFR part 60, or other methods as 
specified in this paragraph, except as specified in Sec.61.13.
    (1) For compliance tests, as described in Sec.61.139(c)(1), the 
following provisions apply.
    (i) All tests shall be run under representative emission 
concentration and vent flow rate conditions. For sources with 
intermittent flow rates, representative conditions shall include typical 
emission surges (for example, during the loading of a storage tank).
    (ii) Each test shall consist of three separate runs. These runs will 
be averaged to yield the volumetric flow rates and benzene 
concentrations in the equation in Sec.61.139(c)(1). Each run shall be 
a minimum of 1 hour.
    (A) For each regenerative carbon adsorber, each run shall take place 
in one adsorption cycle, to include a minimum of 1 hour of sampling 
immediately preceding the initiation of carbon bed regeneration.
    (B) For each non-regenerative carbon adsorber, all runs can occur 
during one adsorption cycle.
    (iii) The measurements during the runs shall be paired so that the 
inlet and outlet to the control device are measured simultaneously.
    (iv) Method 1 or 1A shall be used as applicable for locating 
measurement sites.
    (v) Method 2, 2A, or 2D shall be used as applicable for measuring 
vent flow rates.
    (vi) Method 18 shall be used for determining the benzene 
concentrations (Caj and Cbi). Either the 
integrated bag sampling and analysis procedure or the direct interface 
procedure may be used. A separation column constructed of stainless 
steel, 1.83 m by 3.2 mm, containing 10 percent 1,2,3-tris (2-
cyanoethoxy) propane (TECP) on 80/100 mesh Chromosorb P AW, with a 
column temperature of 80 [deg]C, a detector temperature of 225 [deg]C, 
and a flow rate of approximately 20 ml/min, may produce adequate 
separations. The analyst can use other columns, provided that the 
precision and accuracy of the analysis of benzene standards is not 
impaired. The analyst shall have available for review information 
confirming that there is adequate resolution of the benzene peak.
    (A) If the integrated bag sampling and analysis procedure is used, 
the sample rate shall be adjusted to maintain a constant proportion to 
vent flow rate.
    (B) If the direct interface sampling and analysis procedure is used, 
then each performance test run shall be conducted in intervals of 5 
minutes. For each interval ``t,'' readings from each measurement shall 
be recorded, and the flow rate (Qaj or Qbi) and 
the corresponding benzene concentration (Caj or 
Cbi) shall be determined. The sampling system shall be 
constructed to include a mixing chamber of a volume equal to 5 times the 
sampling flow rate

[[Page 96]]

per minute. Each analysis performed by the chromatograph will then 
represent an averaged emission value for a 5-minute time period. The 
vent flow rate readings shall be timed to account for the total sample 
system residence time. A dual column, dual detector chromatograph can be 
used to achieve an analysis interval of 5 minutes. The individual 
benzene concentrations shall be vent flow rate weighted to determine 
sample run average concentrations. The individual vent flow rates shall 
be time averaged to determine sample run average flow rates.
    (2) For testing the benzene concentration at the outlet vent of the 
carbon adsorber as specified under Sec. Sec.61.139(d)(1), (e)(1) and 
(h)(3)(ii), the following provisions apply.
    (i) The measurement shall be conducted over one 5-minute period.
    (ii) The requirements in Sec.61.139(g)(1)(i) shall apply to the 
extent practicable.
    (iii) The requirements in Sec.61.139(g)(1)(vi) shall apply. 
Section 7.2 of method 18 shall be used as described in Sec.
61.139(g)(1)(vi)(B) for benzene concentration measurements.
    (h) For each carbon adsorber, the maximum concentration point shall 
be expressed either as a benzene concentration or organic compound 
concentration level, whichever is to be indicated by the monitoring 
device chosen under Sec.61.139 (d) or (e).
    (1) For each regenerative carbon adsorber, the owner or operator 
shall determine the maximum concentration point at the following times:
    (i) No later than the deadline for the initial compliance test as 
specified in Sec.61.139(c)(1);
    (ii) At the request of the Administrator; and
    (iii) At any time chosen by the owner or operator.
    (2) For each non-regenerative carbon adsorber, the owner or operator 
shall determine the maximum concentration point at the following times:
    (i) On the first carbon bed to be installed in the adsorber;
    (ii) At the request of the Administrator;
    (iii) On the next carbon bed after the maximum concentration point 
has been exceeded (before the scheduled replacement time) for each of 
three previous carbon beds in the adsorber since the most recent 
determination; and
    (iv) At any other time chosen by the owner or operator.
    (3) The maximum concentration point for each carbon adsorber shall 
be determined through the simultaneous measurement of the outlet of the 
carbon adsorber with the monitoring device and Method 18, except as 
allowed in paragraph (h)(4) of this section.
    (i) Several data points shall be collected according to a schedule 
determined by the owner or operator. The schedule shall be designed to 
take frequent samples near the expected maximum concentration point.
    (ii) Each data point shall consist of one 5-minute benzene 
concentration measurement using Method 18 as specified in Sec.
61.139(g)(2), and of a simultaneous measurement by the monitoring 
device. The monitoring device measurement shall be conducted according 
to Sec.61.139 (d) or (e), whichever is applicable.
    (iii) The maximum concentration point shall be the concentration 
level, as indicated by the monitoring device, for the last data point at 
which the benzene concentration is less than 2 percent of the average 
value of the benzene concentration at the inlet to the carbon adsorber 
during the most recent compliance test.
    (4) If the maximum concentration point is expressed as a benzene 
concentration, the owner or operator may determine it by calibrating the 
monitoring device with benzene at a concentration that is 2 percent of 
the average benzene concentration measured at the inlet to the carbon 
adsorber during the most recent compliance test. The reading on the 
monitoring device corresponding to the calibration concentration shall 
be the maximum concentration point. This method of determination would 
affect the owner or operator as follows:
    (i) For a regenerative carbon adsorber, the owner or operator is 
exempt from the provisions in paragraph (h)(3) of this section.
    (ii) For a non-regenerative carbon adsorber, the owner or operator 
is required to collect the data points in paragraph (h)(3) of this 
section with

[[Page 97]]

only the monitoring device, and is exempt from the simultaneous Method 
18 measurement.
    (5) For each non-regenerative carbon adsorber, the demonstrated bed 
life shall be the carbon bed life, measured in days from the time the 
bed is installed until the maximum concentration point is reached, for 
the carbon bed that is used to determine the maximum concentration 
point.
    (i) The following recordkeeping requirements are applicable to 
owners and operators of control devices subject to Sec.61.139. All 
records shall be kept updated and in a readily accessible location.
    (1) The following information shall be recorded for each control 
device for the life of the control device:
    (i) The design characteristics of the control device and a list of 
the source or sources vented to it.
    (ii) For each carbon absorber, a plan for the method for handling 
captured benzene and removed carbon to comply with paragraphs (b)(1) and 
(2) of this section.

determine emissions shall be recorded as specified in Sec.61.13(g) for 
at least 2 years or until the next compliance test on the control 
device, whichever is longer.
    (3) For each vapor incinerator, the average firebox temperature of 
the incinerator (or the average temperature upstream and downstream of 
the catalyst bed for a catalytic incinerator), measured and averaged 
over the most recent compliance test shall be recorded for at least 2 
years or until the next compliance test on the incinerator, whichever is 
longer.
    (4) For each carbon adsorber, for each determination of a maximum 
concentration point as specified in Sec.61.139(h), the date of the 
determination, the maximum concentration point, and data needed to make

crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure.
    Commercial asbestos means any material containing asbestos that is 
extracted from ore and has value because of its asbestos content.
    Cutting means to penetrate with a sharp-edged instrument and 
includes sawing, but does not include shearing, slicing, or punching.

not planned but results from a sudden, unexpected event that, if not 
immediately attended to, presents a safety or public health hazard, is 
necessary to protect equipment from damage, or is necessary to avoid 
imposing an unreasonable financial burden. This term includes operations 
necessitated by nonroutine failures of equipment.
    Fabricating means any processing (e.g., cutting, sawing, drilling) 
of a manufactured product that contains commercial asbestos, with the 
exception of processing at temporary sites (field fabricating) for the

products, fabricating includes bonding, debonding, grinding, sawing, 
drilling, or other similar operations performed as part of fabricating.
    Facility means any institutional, commercial, public, industrial, or 
residential structure, installation, or building (including any 
structure, installation, or building containing condominiums or 
individual dwelling units operated as a residential cooperative, but 
excluding residential buildings having four or fewer dwelling units); 
any ship; and any active or inactive waste disposal site. For purposes 
of this definition, any building, structure, or installation that 
contains a loft used as a dwelling is not considered a residential 
structure, installation, or building. Any structure, installation or 
building that was previously subject to this subpart is not excluded, 
regardless of its current use or function.
    Facility component means any part of a facility including equipment.
    Friable asbestos material means any material containing more than 1 
percent asbestos as determined using the method specified in appendix E, 
subpart E, 40 CFR part 763, section 1, Polarized Light Microscopy, that,

increased. Failures of equipment shall not be considered malfunctions if 
they are caused in any way by poor maintenance, careless operation, or 
any other preventable upset conditions, equipment breakdown, or process 
failure.
    Manufacturing means the combining of commercial asbestos--or, in the 
case of woven friction products, the combining of textiles containing 
commercial asbestos--with any other material(s), including commercial 
asbestos, and the processing of this combination into a product. 
Chlorine production is considered a part of manufacturing.
    Natural barrier means a natural object that effectively precludes or 
deters access. Natural barriers include physical obstacles such as 
cliffs, lakes or other large bodies of water, deep and wide ravines, and 
mountains. Remoteness by itself is not a natural barrier.
    Nonfriable asbestos-containing material means any material 
containing more than 1 percent asbestos as determined using the method

operations can be predicted to occur during a given period of time based 
on operating experience.
    Regulated asbestos-containing material (RACM) means (a) Friable 
asbestos material, (b) Category I nonfriable ACM that has become

according to paragraph (a) of this section, shall comply with the 
following procedures:
    (1) Remove all RACM from a facility being demolished or renovated 
before any activity begins that would break up, dislodge, or similarly 
disturb the material or preclude access to the material for subsequent 
removal. RACM need not be removed before demolition if:
    (i) It is Category I nonfriable ACM that is not in poor condition 
and is not friable.
    (ii) It is on a facility component that is encased in concrete or 
other similarly hard material and is adequately wet whenever exposed 
during demolition; or
    (iii) It was not accessible for testing and was, therefore, not 
discovered until after demolition began and, as a result of the 
demolition, the material cannot be safely removed. If not removed for 
safety reasons, the exposed RACM and any asbestos-contaminated debris 
must be treated as asbestos-containing waste material and adequately wet 
at all times until disposed of.
    (iv) They are Category II nonfriable ACM and the probability is low 
that the materials will become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to 
powder during demolition.
    (2) When a facility component that contains, is covered with, or is 
coated with RACM is being taken out of the facility as a unit or in 
sections:
    (i) Adequately wet all RACM exposed during cutting or disjoining 
operations; and
    (ii) Carefully lower each unit or section to the floor and to ground 
level, not dropping, throwing, sliding, or otherwise damaging or 
disturbing the RACM.
    (3) When RACM is stripped from a facility component while it remains 
in place in the facility, adequately wet the RACM during the stripping 
operation.
    (i) In renovation operations, wetting is not required if:
    (A) The owner or operator has obtained prior written approval from 
the Administrator based on a written application that wetting to comply 
with this paragraph would unavoidably damage equipment or present a 
safety hazard; and
    (B) The owner or operator uses of the following emission control 
methods:

[[Page 108]]

    (1) A local exhaust ventilation and collection system designed and 
operated to capture the particulate asbestos material produced by the 
stripping and removal of the asbestos materials. The system must exhibit 
no visible emissions to the outside air or be designed and operated in 
accordance with the requirements in Sec.61.152.
    (2) A glove-bag system designed and operated to contain the 
particulate asbestos material produced by the stripping of the asbestos 
materials.
    (3) Leak-tight wrapping to contain all RACM prior to dismantlement.
    (ii) In renovation operations where wetting would result in 
equipment damage or a safety hazard, and the methods allowed in 
paragraph (c)(3)(i) of this section cannot be used, another method may 
be used after obtaining written approval from the Administrator based 
upon a determination that it is equivalent to wetting in controlling 
emissions or to the methods allowed in paragraph (c)(3)(i) of this 
section.
    (iii) A copy of the Administrator's written approval shall be kept 
at the worksite and made available for inspection.
    (4) After a facility component covered with, coated with, or 
containing RACM has been taken out of the facility as a unit or in 
sections pursuant to paragraph (c)(2) of this section, it shall be 
stripped or contained in leak-tight wrapping, except as described in 
paragraph (c)(5) of this section. If stripped, either:
    (i) Adequately wet the RACM during stripping; or
    (ii) Use a local exhaust ventilation and collection system designed 
and operated to capture the particulate asbestos material produced by 
the stripping. The system must exhibit no visible emissions to the 
outside air or be designed and operated in accordance with the 
requirements in Sec.61.152.
    (5) For large facility components such as reactor vessels, large 
tanks, and steam generators, but not beams (which must be handled in 
accordance with paragraphs (c)(2), (3), and (4) of this section), the 
RACM is not required to be stripped if the following requirements are 
met:
    (i) The component is removed, transported, stored, disposed of, or 
reused without disturbing or damaging the RACM.
    (ii) The component is encased in a leak-tight wrapping.
    (iii) The leak-tight wrapping is labeled according to Sec.
61.149(d)(1)(i), (ii), and (iii) during all loading and unloading 
operations and during storage.
    (6) For all RACM, including material that has been removed or 
stripped:
    (i) Adequately wet the material and ensure that it remains wet until 
collected and contained or treated in preparation for disposal in 
accordance with Sec.61.150; and
    (ii) Carefully lower the material to the ground and floor, not 
dropping, throwing, sliding, or otherwise damaging or disturbing the 
material.
    (iii) Transport the material to the ground via leak-tight chutes or 
containers if it has been removed or stripped more than 50 feet above 
ground level and was not removed as units or in sections.
    (iv) RACM contained in leak-tight wrapping that has been removed in 
accordance with paragraphs (c)(4) and (c)(3)(i)(B)(3) of this section 
need not be wetted.
    (7) When the temperature at the point of wetting is below 0 [deg]C 
(32 [deg]F):
    (i) The owner or operator need not comply with paragraph (c)(2)(i) 
and the wetting provisions of paragraph (c)(3) of this section.
    (ii) The owner or operator shall remove facility components 
containing, coated with, or covered with RACM as units or in sections to 
the maximum extent possible.
    (iii) During periods when wetting operations are suspended due to 
freezing temperatures, the owner or operator must record the temperature 
in the area containing the facility components at the beginning, middle, 
and end of each workday and keep daily temperature records available for 
inspection by the Administrator during normal business hours at the 
demolition or renovation site. The owner or operator shall retain the 
temperature records for at least 2 years.
    (8) Effective 1 year after promulgation of this regulation, no RACM 
shall

[[Page 109]]

be stripped, removed, or otherwise handled or disturbed at a facility 
regulated by this section unless at least one on-site representative, 
such as a foreman or management-level person or other authorized 
representative, trained in the provisions of this regulation and the 
means of complying with them, is present. Every 2 years, the trained on-
site individual shall receive refresher training in the provisions of 
this regulation. The required training shall include as a minimum: 
applicability; notifications; material identification; control 
procedures for removals including, at least, wetting, local exhaust 
ventilation, negative pressure enclosures, glove-bag procedures, and 
High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters; waste disposal work 
practices; reporting and recordkeeping; and asbestos hazards and worker 
protection. Evidence that the required training has been completed shall 
be posted and made available for inspection by the Administrator at the 
demolition or renovation site.
    (9) For facilities described in paragraph (a)(3) of this section, 
adequately wet the portion of the facility that contains RACM during the 
wrecking operation.
    (10) If a facility is demolished by intentional burning, all RACM 
including Category I and Category II nonfriable ACM must be removed in 
accordance with the NESHAP before burning.

Sec.61.151  Standard for inactive waste disposal sites for asbestos 
mills and manufacturing and fabricating operations.

    Each owner or operator of any inactive waste disposal site that was 
operated by sources covered under Sec.61.142, 61.144, or 61.147 and 
received deposits of asbestos-containing waste material generated by the 
sources, shall:
    (a) Comply with one of the following:
    (1) Either discharge no visible emissions to the outside air from an 
inactive waste disposal site subject to this paragraph; or
    (2) Cover the asbestos-containing waste material with at least 15 
centimeters (6 inches) of compacted nonasbestos-containing material, and 
grow and maintain a cover of vegetation on the area adequate to prevent 
exposure of the asbestos-containing waste material. In desert areas 
where vegetation would be difficult to maintain, at least 8 additional 
centimeters (3 inches) of well-graded, nonasbestos crushed rock may be 
placed on top of the final cover instead of vegetation and maintained to 
prevent emissions; or
    (3) Cover the asbestos-containing waste material with at least 60 
centimeters (2 feet) of compacted nonasbestos-containing material, and 
maintain it to prevent exposure of the asbestos-containing waste; or
    (4) For inactive waste disposal sites for asbestos tailings, a 
resinous or petroleum-based dust suppression agent that effectively 
binds dust to control surface air emissions may be used instead of the 
methods in paragraphs (a) (1), (2), and (3) of this section. Use the 
agent in the manner and frequency recommended for the particular 
asbestos tailings by the manufacturer of the dust suppression agent to 
achieve and maintain dust control. Obtain prior written approval of the 
Administrator to use other equally effective dust suppression agents. 
For purposes of this paragraph, any used, spent, or other waste oil is 
not considered a dust suppression agent.
    (b) Unless a natural barrier adequately deters access by the general 
public, install and maintain warning signs and fencing as follows, or 
comply with paragraph (a)(2) or (a)(3) of this section.
    (1) Display warning signs at all entrances and at intervals of 100 m 
(328 ft) or less along the property line of the site or along the

agent that effectively binds dust and controls wind erosion. Such an 
agent shall be used in the manner and frequency recommended for the 
particular dust by the dust suppression agent manufacturer to achieve 
and maintain dust control. Other equally effective dust suppression 
agents may be used upon prior approval by the Administrator. For 
purposes of this paragraph, any used, spent, or other waste oil is not 
considered a dust suppression agent.
    (d) Rather than meet the no visible emission requirement of 
paragraph (a) of this section, use an alternative emissions control 
method that has received prior written approval by the Administrator 
according to the procedures described in Sec.61.149(c)(2).
    (e) For all asbestos-containing waste material received, the owner 
or operator of the active waste disposal site shall:
    (1) Maintain waste shipment records, using a form similar to that 
shown in Figure 4, and include the following information:
    (i) The name, address, and telephone number of the waste generator.
    (ii) The name, address, and telephone number of the transporter(s).
    (iii) The quantity of the asbestos-containing waste material in 
cubic meters (cubic yards).
    (iv) The presence of improperly enclosed or uncovered waste, or any 
asbestos-containing waste material not sealed in leak-tight containers. 
Report in writing to the local, State, or EPA Regional office 
responsible for administering the asbestos NESHAP program for the waste 
generator (identified in the waste shipment record), and, if different, 
the local, State, or EPA Regional office responsible for administering 
the asbestos NESHAP program for the disposal site, by the following 
working day, the presence of a significant amount of improperly enclosed 
or uncovered waste. Submit a copy of the

[[Page 123]]

waste shipment record along with the report.
    (v) The date of the receipt.
    (2) As soon as possible and no longer than 30 days after receipt of 
the waste, send a copy of the signed waste shipment record to the waste 
generator.
    (3) Upon discovering a discrepancy between the quantity of waste 
designated on the waste shipment records and the quantity actually 
received, attempt to reconcile the discrepancy with the waste generator. 
If the discrepancy is not resolved within 15 days after receiving the 
waste, immediately report in writing to the local, State, or EPA 
Regional office responsible for administering the asbestos NESHAP 
program for the waste generator (identified in the waste shipment 
record), and, if different, the local, State, or EPA Regional office 
responsible for administering the asbestos NESHAP program for the 
disposal site. Describe the discrepancy and attempts to reconcile it, 
and submit a copy of the waste shipment record along with the report.
    (4) Retain a copy of all records and reports required by this 
paragraph for at least 2 years.
    (f) Maintain, until closure, records of the location, depth and 
area, and quantity in cubic meters (cubic yards) of asbestos-containing 
waste material within the disposal site on a map or diagram of the 
disposal area.
    (g) Upon closure, comply with all the provisions of Sec.61.151.
    (h) Submit to the Administrator, upon closure of the facility, a 
copy of records of asbestos waste disposal locations and quantities.
    (i) Furnish upon request, and make available during normal business 
hours for inspection by the Administrator, all records required under 
this section.
    (j) Notify the Administrator in writing at least 45 days prior to 
excavating or otherwise disturbing any asbestos-containing waste 
material that has been deposited at a waste disposal site and is 
covered. If the excavation will begin on a date other than the one 
contained in the original notice, notice of the new start date must be 
provided to the Administrator at least 10 working days before excavation 
begins and in no event shall excavation begin earlier than the date 
specified in the original notification. Include the following 
information in the notice:
    (1) Scheduled starting and completion dates.
    (2) Reason for disturbing the waste.
    (3) Procedures to be used to control emissions during the 
excavation, storage, transport, and ultimate disposal of the excavated 
asbestos-containing waste material. If deemed necessary, the 
Administrator may require changes in the emission control procedures to 
be used.
    (4) Location of any temporary storage site and the final disposal 
site.

Sec.61.155  Standard for operations that convert asbestos-containing
waste material into nonasbestos (asbestos-free) material.

    Each owner or operator of an operation that converts RACM and 
asbestos-containing waste material into nonasbestos (asbestos-free) 
material shall:
    (a) Obtain the prior written approval of the Administrator to 
construct the facility. To obtain approval, the owner or operator shall 
provide the Administrator with the following information:
    (1) Application to construct pursuant to Sec.61.07.
    (2) In addition to the information requirements of Sec.
61.07(b)(3), a
    (i) Description of waste feed handling and temporary storage.
    (ii) Description of process operating conditions.
    (iii) Description of the handling and temporary storage of the end 
product.
    (iv) Description of the protocol to be followed when analyzing 
output materials by transmission electron microscopy.
    (3) Performance test protocol, including provisions for obtaining 
information required under paragraph (b) of this section.
    (4) The Administrator may require that a demonstration of the 
process be performed prior to approval of the application to construct.
    (b) Conduct a start-up performance test. Test results shall include:

[[Page 124]]

    (1) A detailed description of the types and quantities of 
nonasbestos material, RACM, and asbestos-containing waste material 
processed, e.g., asbestos cement products, friable asbestos insulation, 
plaster, wood, plastic, wire, etc. Test feed is to include the full 
range of materials that will be encountered in actual operation of the 
process.
    (2) Results of analyses, using polarized light microscopy, that 
document the asbestos content of the wastes processed.
    (3) Results of analyses, using transmission electron microscopy, 
that document that the output materials are free of asbestos. Samples 
for analysis are to be collected as 8-hour composite samples (one 200-
gram (7-ounce) sample per hour), beginning with the initial introduction 
of RACM or asbestos-containing waste material and continuing until the 
end of the performance test.
    (4) A description of operating parameters, such as temperature and 
residence time, defining the full range over which the process is 
expected to operate to produce nonasbestos (asbestos-free) materials. 
Specify the limits for each operating parameter within which the process 
will produce nonasbestos (asbestos-free) materials.
    (5) The length of the test.
    (c) During the initial 90 days of operation,
    (1) Continuously monitor and log the operating parameters identified 
during start-up performance tests that are intended to ensure the 
production of nonasbestos (asbestos-free) output material.
    (2) Monitor input materials to ensure that they are consistent with 
the test feed materials described during start-up performance tests in 
paragraph (b)(1) of this section.
    (3) Collect and analyze samples, taken as 10-day composite samples 
(one 200-gram (7-ounce) sample collected every 8 hours of operation) of 
all output material for the presence of asbestos. Composite samples may 
be for fewer than 10 days. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) shall 
be used to analyze the output material for the presence of asbestos. 
During the initial 90-day period, all output materials must be stored 
on-site until analysis shows the material to be asbestos-free or 
disposed of as asbestos-containing waste material according to Sec.
61.150.
    (d) After the initial 90 days of operation,
    (1) Continuously monitor and record the operating parameters 
identified during start-up performance testing and any subsequent 
performance testing. Any output produced during a period of deviation 
from the range of operating conditions established to ensure the 
production of nonasbestos (asbestos-free) output materials shall be:
    (i) Disposed of as asbestos-containing waste material according to 
Sec.61.150, or
    (ii) Recycled as waste feed during process operation within the 
established range of operating conditions, or
    (iii) Stored temporarily on-site in a leak-tight container until 
analyzed for asbestos content. Any product material that is not 
asbestos-free shall be either disposed of as asbestos-containing waste 
material or recycled as waste feed to the process.
    (2) Collect and analyze monthly composite samples (one 200-gram (7-
ounce) sample collected every 8 hours of operation) of the output 
material. Transmission electron microscopy shall be used to analyze the 
output material for the presence of asbestos.
    (e) Discharge no visible emissions to the outside air from any part 
of the operation, or use the methods specified by Sec.61.152 to clean 
emissions containing particulate asbestos material before they escape 
to, or are vented to, the outside air.
    (f) Maintain records on-site and include the following information:
    (1) Results of start-up performance testing and all subsequent 
performance testing, including operating parameters, feed 
characteristic, and analyses of output materials.
    (2) Results of the composite analyses required during the initial 90 
days of operation under Sec.61.155(c).
    (3) Results of the monthly composite analyses required under Sec.
61.155(d).
    (4) Results of continuous monitoring and logs of process operating 
parameters required under Sec.61.155 (c) and (d).
    (5) The information on waste shipments received as required in Sec.
61.154(e).
    (6) For output materials where no analyses were performed to 
determine the presence of asbestos, record the

[[Page 125]]

name and location of the purchaser or disposal site to which the output 
materials were sold or deposited, and the date of sale or disposal.
    (7) Retain records required by paragraph (f) of this section for at 
least 2 years.
    (g) Submit the following reports to the Administrator:
    (1) A report for each analysis of product composite samples 
performed during the initial 90 days of operation.
    (2) A quarterly report, including the following information 
concerning activities during each consecutive 3-month period:
    (i) Results of analyses of monthly product composite samples.
    (ii) A description of any deviation from the operating parameters 
established during performance testing, the duration of the deviation, 
and steps taken to correct the deviation.
    (iii) Disposition of any product produced during a period of 
deviation, including whether it was recycled, disposed of as asbestos-
containing waste material, or stored temporarily on-site until analyzed 
for asbestos content.
    (iv) The information on waste disposal activities as required in 
Sec.61.154(f).
    (h) Nonasbestos (asbestos-free) output material is not subject to 
any of the provisions of this subpart. Output materials in which 
asbestos is detected, or output materials produced when the operating 
parameters deviated from those established during the start-up 
performance testing, unless shown by TEM analysis to be asbestos-free, 
shall be considered to be asbestos-containing waste and shall be handled 
and disposed of according to Sec. Sec.61.150 and 61.154 or reprocessed 
while all of the established operating parameters are being met.

  Sec. Appendix A to Subpart M of Part 61--Interpretive Rule Governing 
                         Roof Removal Operations

                 I. Applicability of the Asbestos NESHAP

    1.1. Asbestos-containing material (ACM) is material containing more 
than one percent asbestos as determined using the methods specified in 
appendix E, subpart E, 40 CFR part 763, section 1, Polarized Light 
Microscopy. The NESHAP classifies ACM as either ``friable'' or 
``nonfriable''. Friable ACM is ACM that, when dry, can be crumbled, 
pulverized or reduced to powder by hand pressure. Nonfriable ACM is ACM 
that, when dry, cannot be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by 
hand pressure.
    1.2. Nonfriable ACM is further classified as either Category I ACM 
or Category II ACM. Category I ACM and Category II ACM are distinguished 
from each other by their potential to release fibers when damaged. 
Category I ACM includes asbestos-containing gaskets, packings, resilient 
floor coverings, resilient floor covering mastic, and asphalt roofing 
products containing more than one percent asbestos. Asphalt roofing 
products which may contain asbestos include built-up roofing; asphalt-
containing single ply membrane systems; asphalt shingles; asphalt-
containing underlayment felts; asphalt-containing roof coatings and 
mastics; and asphalt-containing base flashings. ACM roofing products 
that use other bituminous or resinous binders (such as coal tars or 
pitches) are also considered to be Category I ACM. Category II ACM 
includes all other nonfriable ACM, for example, asbestos-cement (A/C) 
shingles, A/C tiles, and transite boards or panels containing more than 
one percent asbestos. Generally speaking, Category II ACM is more likely 
to become friable when damaged than is Category I ACM. The applicability 
of the NESHAP to Category I and II ACM depends on: (1) the condition of 
the material at the time of demolition or renovation, (2) the nature of 
the operation to which the material will be subjected, (3) the amount of 
ACM involved.
    1.3. Asbestos-containing material regulated under the NESHAP is 
referred to as ``regulated asbestos-containing material'' (RACM). RACM 
is defined in Sec.61.141 of the NESHAP and includes: (1) friable 
asbestos-containing material; (2) Category I nonfriable ACM that has 
become friable; (3) Category I nonfriable ACM that has been or will be 
sanded, ground, cut, or abraded; or (4) Category II nonfriable ACM that 
has already been or is likely to become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced 
to powder. If the coverage threshold for RACM is met or exceeded in a 
renovation or demolition operation, then all friable ACM in the 
operation, and in certain situations, nonfriable ACM in the operation, 
are subject to the NESHAP.

      A. Threshold Amounts of Asbestos-Containing Roofing Material

    1.A.1. The NESHAP does not cover roofing projects on single family 
homes or on residential buildings containing four or fewer dwelling 
units. 40 CFR 61.141. For other roofing renovation projects, if the 
total asbestos-containing roof area undergoing renovation is less than 
160 ft\2\, the NESHAP does not apply, regardless of the removal method 
to be used, the type of material (Category I or II), or its condition 
(friable versus nonfriable). 40 CFR 61.145(a)(4). However, EPA would 
recommend the use of methods that damage asbestos-containing roofing 
material as little as possible. EPA has determined that where a rotating 
blade (RB) roof cutter or equipment that similarly damages the roofing 
material is used to remove Category I nonfriable asbestos-containing 
roofing material, the removal of 5580 ft\2\ of that material will create 
160 ft\2\ of RACM. For the purposes of this interpretive rule, ``RB roof 
cutter'' means an engine-powered roof cutting machine with one or more 
rotating cutting blades the edges of which are blunt. (Equipment with 
blades having sharp or tapered edges, and/or which does not use a 
rotating blade, is used for ``slicing'' rather than ``cutting'' the 
roofing material; such equipment is not included in the term ``RB roof 
cutter''.) Therefore, it is EPA's interpretation that when an RB roof 
cutter or equipment that similarly damages the roofing material is used 
to remove Category I nonfriable asbestos-containing roofing material, 
any project that is 5580 ft\2\ or greater is subject to the NESHAP; 
conversely, it is EPA's interpretation that when an RB roof cutter or 
equipment that similarly damages the roofing material is used to remove 
Category I nonfriable asbestos-containing roofing material in a roof 
removal project that is less than 5580 ft\2\, the project is not subject 
to the NESHAP, except that notification is always required for 
demolitions. EPA further construes the NESHAP to mean that if slicing or 
other methods that do not sand, grind, cut or abrade will be used on 
Category I nonfriable ACM, the NESHAP does not apply, regardless of the 
area of roof to be removed.
    1.A.2. For asbestos cement (A/C) shingles (or other Category II 
roofing material), if the area of the roofing material to be removed is 
at least 160 ft\2\ and the removal methods will

[[Page 127]]

crumble, pulverize, reduce to powder, or contaminate with RACM (from 
other ACM that has been crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder) 160 
ft\2\ or more of such roofing material, the removal is subject to the 
NESHAP. Conversely, if the area of the A/C shingles (or other Category 
II roofing materials) to be removed is less than 160 ft\2\, the removal 
is not subject to the NESHAP regardless of the removal method used, 
except that notification is always required for demolitions. 40 CFR 
61.145(a). However, EPA would recommend the use of methods that damage 
asbestos-containing roofing material as little as possible. If A/C 
shingles (or other Category II roofing materials) are removed without 
160 ft\2\ or more of such roofing material being crumbled, pulverized, 
reduced to powder, or contaminated with RACM (from other ACM that has 
been crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder), the operation is not 
subject to the NESHAP, even where the total area of the roofing material 
to be removed exceeds 160 ft\2\; provided, however, that if the 
renovation includes other operations involving RACM, the roof removal 
operation is covered if the total area of RACM from all renovation 
activities exceeds 160 ft\2\. See the definition of regulated asbestos-
containing material (RACM), 40 CFR 61.141.
    1.A.3. Only roofing material that meets the definition of ACM can 
qualify as RACM subject to the NESHAP. Therefore, to determine if a 
removal operation that meets or exceeds the coverage threshold is 
subject to the NESHAP, any suspect roofing material (i.e. roofing 
material that may be ACM) should be tested for asbestos. If any such 
roofing material contains more than one percent asbestos and if the 
removal operation is covered by the NESHAP, then EPA must be notified 
and the work practices in Sec.61.145(c) must be followed. In EPA's 
view, if a removal operation involves at least the threshold level of 
suspect material, a roofing contractor may choose not to test for 
asbestos if the contractor follows the notification and work practice 
requirements of the NESHAP.

            B. A/C Shingle Removal (Category II ACM Removal)

    1.B.1. A/C shingles, which are Category II nonfriable ACM, become 
regulated ACM if the material has a high probability of becoming or has 
become crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by the forces expected 
to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation 
operations. 40 CFR 61.141. However, merely breaking an A/C shingle (or 
any other category II ACM) that is not friable may not necessarily cause 
the material to become RACM. A/C shingles are typically nailed to 
buildings on which they are attached. EPA believes that the extent of 
breakage that will normally result from carefully removing A/C shingles 
and lowering the shingles to the ground will not result in crumbling, 
pulverizing or reducing the shingles to powder. Conversely, the extent 
of breakage that will normally occur if the A/C shingles are dropped 
from a building or scraped off of a building with heavy machinery would 
cause the shingles to become RACM. EPA therefore construes the NESHAP to 
mean that the removal of A/C shingles that are not friable, using 
methods that do not crumble, pulverize, or reduce the A/C shingles to 
powder (such as pry bars, spud bars and shovels to carefully pry the 
material), is not subject to the NESHAP provided that the A/C shingles 
are properly handled during and after removal, as discussed in this 
paragraph and the asbestos NESHAP. This interpretation also applies to 
other Category II nonfriable asbestos-containing roofing materials.

 C. Cutting vs. Slicing and Manual Methods for Removal of Category I ACM

    1.C.1. Because of damage to the roofing material, and the potential 
for fiber release, roof removal operations using rotating blade (RB) 
roof cutters or other equipment that sand, grind, cut or abrade the roof 
material are subject to the NESHAP. As EPA interprets the NESHAP, the 
use of certain manual methods (using equipment such as axes, hatchets, 
or knives, spud bars, pry bars, and shovels, but not saws) or methods 
that slice, shear, or punch (using equipment such as a power slicer or 
power plow) does not constitute ``cutting, sanding, grinding or 
abrading.'' This is because these methods do not destroy the structural 
matrix or integrity of the material such that the material is crumbled, 
pulverized or reduced to powder. Hence, it is EPA's interpretation that 
when such methods are used, assuming the roof material is not friable, 
the removal operation is not subject to the regulation.
    1.C.2. Power removers or power tear-off machines are typically used 
to pry the roofing material up from the deck after the roof membrane has 
been cut. It is EPA's interpretation that when these machines are used 
to pry roofing material up, their use is not regulated by the NESHAP.
    1.C.3. As noted previously, the NESHAP only applies to the removal 
of asbestos-containing roofing materials. Thus, the NESHAP does not 
apply to the use of RB cutters to remove non-asbestos built up roofing 
(BUR). On roofs containing some asbestos-containing and some non-
asbestos-containing materials, coverage under the NESHAP depends on the 
methods used to remove each type of material in addition to other 
coverage thresholds specified above. For example, it is not uncommon for 
existing roofs to be made of non-asbestos BUR and base flashings that do 
contain asbestos. In that situation, EPA construes the

[[Page 128]]

NESHAP to be inapplicable to the removal of the non-asbestos BUR using 
an RB cutter so long as the RB cutter is not used to cut 5580 ft\2\ or 
more of the asbestos-containing base flashing or other asbestos-
containing material into sections. In addition, the use of methods that 
slice, shear, punch or pry could then be used to remove the asbestos 
flashings and not trigger coverage under the NESHAP.

                            II. Notification

    2.1. Notification for a demolition is always required under the 
NESHAP. However, EPA believes that few roof removal jobs constitute 
``demolitions'' as defined in the NESHAP (Sec.61.141). In particular, 
it is EPA's view that the removal of roofing systems (i.e., the roof 
membrane, insulation, surfacing, coatings, flashings, mastic, shingles, 
and felt underlayment), when such removal is not a part of a demolition 
project, constitutes a ``renovation'' under the NESHAP. If the operation 
is a renovation, and Category I roofing material is being removed using 
either manual methods or slicing, notification is not required by the 
NESHAP. If Category II material is not friable and will be removed 
without crumbling, pulverizing, or reducing it to powder, no 
notification is required. Also, if the renovation involves less than the 
threshold area for applicability as discussed above, then no 
notification is required. However, if a roof removal meets the 
applicability and threshold requirements under the NESHAP, then EPA (or 
the delegated agency) must be notified in advance of the removal in 
accordance with the requirements of Sec.61.145(b), as follows:
     Notification must be given in writing at least 10 
working days in advance and must include the information in Sec.
61.145(b)(4), except for emergency renovations as discussed below.
     The notice must be updated as necessary, 
including, for example, when the amount of asbestos-containing roofing 
material reported changes by 20 percent or more.
     EPA must be notified if the start date of the 
roof removal changes. If the start date of a roof removal project is 
changed to an earlier date, EPA must be provided with a written notice 
of the new start date at least 10 working days in advance. If the start 
date changes to a later date, EPA must be notified by telephone as soon 
as possible before the original start date and a written notice must be 
sent as soon as possible.
     For emergency renovations (as defined in Sec.
61.141), where work must begin immediately to avoid safety or public 
health hazards, equipment damage, or unreasonable financial burden, the 
notification must be postmarked or delivered to EPA as soon as possible, 
but no later than the following work day.

                     III. Emission Control Practices

   A. Requirements To Adequately Wet and Discharge No Visible Emission

    3.A.1. The principal controls contained in the NESHAP for removal 
operations include requirements that the affected material be adequately 
wetted, and that asbestos waste be handled, collected, and disposed of 
properly. The requirements for disposal of waste materials are discussed 
separately in section IV below. The emission control requirements 
discussed in this section III apply only to roof removal operations that 
are covered by the NESHAP as set forth in Section I above.
    3.A.2. For any operation subject to the NESHAP, the regulation 
(Sec. Sec.61.145(c)(2)(i), (3), (6)(i)) requires that RACM be 
adequately wet (as defined in Sec.61.141) during the operation that 
damages or disturbs the asbestos material until collected for disposal.
    3.A.3. When using an RB roof cutter (or any other method that sands, 
grinds, cuts or abrades the roofing material) to remove Category I 
asbestos-containing roofing material, the emission control requirements 
of Sec.61.145(c) apply as discussed in Section I above. EPA will 
consider a roof removal project to be in compliance with the 
``adequately wet'' and ``discharge no visible emission'' requirements of 
the NESHAP if the RB roof cutter is equipped and operated with the 
following: (1) a blade guard that completely encloses the blade and 
extends down close to the roof surface; and (2) a device for spraying a 
fine mist of water inside the blade guard, and which device is in 
operation during the cutting of the roof.

                 B. Exemptions From Wetting Requirements

    3.B.1. The NESHAP provides that, in certain instances, wetting may 
not be required during the cutting of Category I asbestos roofing 
material with an RB roof cutter. If EPA determines in accordance with 
Sec.61.145(c)(3)(i), that wetting will unavoidably damage the 
building, equipment inside the building, or will present a safety hazard 
while stripping the ACM from a facility component that remains in place, 
the roof removal operation will be exempted from the requirement to wet 
during cutting. EPA must have sufficient written information on which to 
base such a decision. Before proceeding with a dry removal, the 
contractor must have received EPA's written approval. Such exemptions 
will be made on a case-by-case basis.
    3.B.2. It is EPA's view that, in most instances, exemptions from the 
wetting requirements are not necessary. Where EPA grants an exemption 
from wetting because of the potential for damage to the building, damage 
to equipment within the building or a safety hazard, the NESHAP 
specifies alternative control methods (Sec.61.145(c)(3)(i)(B)).

[[Page 129]]

Alternative control methods include (a) the use of local exhaust 
ventilation systems that capture the dust, and do not produce visible 
emissions, or (b) methods that are designed and operated in accordance 
with the requirements of Sec.61.152, or (c) other methods that have 
received the written approval of EPA. EPA will consider an alternative 
emission control method in compliance with the NESHAP if the method has 
received written approval from EPA and the method is being implemented 
consistent with the approved procedures (Sec.61.145(c)(3)(ii) or Sec.
61.152(b)(3)).
    3.B.3. An exemption from wetting is also allowed when the air or 
roof surface temperature at the point of wetting is below freezing, as 
specified in Sec.61.145(c)(7). If freezing temperatures are indicated 
as the reason for not wetting, records must be kept of the temperature 
at the beginning, middle and end of the day on which wetting is not 
performed and the records of temperature must be retained for at least 2 
years. 42 CFR Sec.61.145(c)(7)(iii). It is EPA's interpretation that 
in such cases, no written application to, or written approval by the 
Administrator is needed for using emission control methods listed in 
Sec.61.145(c)(3)(i)(B), or alternative emission control methods that 
have been previously approved by the Administrator. However, such 
written application or approval is required for alternative emission 
control methods that have not been previously approved. Any dust and 
debris collected from cutting must still be kept wet and placed in 
containers. All of the other requirements for notification and waste 
disposal would continue to apply as described elsewhere in this notice 
and the Asbestos NESHAP.

                    C. Waste Collection and Handling

    3.C.1. It is EPA's interpretation that waste resulting from slicing 
and other methods that do not cut, grind, sand or abrade Category I 
nonfriable asbestos-containing roofing material is not subject to the 
NESHAP and can be disposed of as nonasbestos waste. EPA further 
construes the NESHAP to provide that if Category II roofing material 
(such as A/C shingles) is removed and disposed of without crumbling, 
pulverizing, or reducing it to powder, the waste from the removal is not 
subject to the NESHAP waste disposal requirements. EPA also interprets 
the NESHAP to be inapplicable to waste resulting from roof removal 
operations that do not meet or exceed the coverage thresholds described 
in section I above. Of course, other State, local, or Federal 
regulations may apply.
    3.C.2. It is EPA's interpretation that when an RB roof cutter, or 
other method that similarly damages the roofing material, is used to cut 
Category I asbestos containing roofing material, the damaged material 
from the cut (the sawdust or debris) is considered asbestos containing 
waste subject to Sec.61.150 of the NESHAP, provided the coverage 
thresholds discussed above in section 1 are met or exceeded. This 
sawdust or debris must be disposed of at a disposal site operated in 
accordance with the NESHAP. It is also EPA's interpretation of the 
NESHAP that if the remainder of the roof is free of the sawdust and 
debris generated by the cutting, or if such sawdust or debris is 
collected as discussed below in paragraphs 3.C.3, 3.C.4, 3.C.5 and 
3.C.6, the remainder of the roof can be disposed of as nonasbestos waste 
because it is considered to be Category I nonfriable material (as long 
as the remainder of the roof is in fact nonasbestos material or if it is 
Category I asbestos material and the removal methods do not further 
sand, grind, cut or abrade the roof material). EPA further believes that 
if the roof is not cleaned of such sawdust or debris, i.e., it is 
contaminated, then it must be treated as asbestos-containing waste 
material and be handled in accordance with Sec.61.150.
    3.C.3. In order to be in compliance with the NESHAP while using an 
RB roof cutter (or device that similarly damages the roofing material) 
to cut Category I asbestos containing roofing material, the dust and 
debris resulting from the cutting of the roof should be collected as 
soon as possible after the cutting operation, and kept wet until 
collected and placed in leak-tight containers. EPA believes that where 
the blade guard completely encloses the blade and extends down close to 
the roof surface and is equipped with a device for spraying a fine mist 
of water inside the blade guard, and the spraying device is in operation 
during the cutting, most of the dust and debris from cutting will be 
confined along the cut. The most efficient methods to collect the dust 
and debris from cutting are to immediately collect or vacuum up the 
damaged material where it lies along the cut using a filtered vacuum 
cleaner or debris collector that meets the requirements of 40 CFR 61.152 
to clean up as much of the debris as possible, or to gently sweep up the 
bulk of the debris, and then use a filtered vacuum cleaner that meets 
the requirements of 40 CFR 61.152 to clean up as much of the remainder 
of the debris as possible. On smooth surfaced roofs (nonaggregate 
roofs), sweeping up the debris and then wet wiping the surface may be 
done in place of using a filtered vacuum cleaner. It is EPA's view that 
if these decontamination procedures are followed, the remaining roofing 
material does not have to be collected and disposed of as asbestos 
waste. Additionally, it is EPA's view that where such decontamination 
procedures are followed, if the remaining portions of the roof are non-
asbestos or Category I nonfriable asbestos material, and if the 
remaining portions are removed using removal methods that slice, shear, 
punch or

[[Page 130]]

pry, as discussed in section 1.C above, then the remaining portions do 
not have to be collected and disposed of as asbestos waste and the 
NESHAP's no visible emissions and adequately wet requirements are not 
applicable to the removal of the remaining portions. In EPA's 
interpretation, the failure of a filtered vacuum cleaner or debris 
collector to collect larger chunks or pieces of damaged roofing material 
created by the RB roof cutter does not require the remaining roofing 
material to be handled and disposed of as asbestos waste, provided that 
such visible chunks or pieces of roofing material are collected (e.g. by 
gentle sweeping) and disposed of as asbestos waste. Other methods of 
decontamination may not be adequate, and should be approved by the local 
delegated agency.
    3.C.4. In EPA's interpretation, if the debris from the cutting is 
not collected immediately, it will be necessary to lightly mist the dust 
or debris, until it is collected, as discussed above, and placed in 
containers. The dust or debris should be lightly misted frequently 
enough to prevent the material from drying, and to prevent airborne 
emissions, prior to collection as described above. It is EPA's 
interpretation of the NESHAP that if these procedures are followed, the 
remaining roofing material does not have to be collected and disposed of 
as asbestos waste, as long as the remaining roof material is in fact 
nonasbestos material or if it is Category I asbestos material and the 
removal methods do not further sand, grind, cut or abrade the roof 
material.
    3.C.5. It is EPA's interpretation that, provided the roofing 
material is not friable prior to the cutting operation, and provided the 
roofing material has not been made friable by the cutting operation, the 
appearance of rough, jagged or damaged edges on the remaining roofing 
material, due to the use of an RB roof cutter, does not require that 
such remaining roofing material be handled and disposed of as asbestos 
waste. In addition, it is also EPA's interpretation that if the sawdust 
or debris generated by the use of an RB roof cutter has been collected 
as discussed in paragraphs 3.C.3, 3.C.4 and 3.C.6, the presence of dust 
along the edge of the remaining roof material does not render such 
material ``friable'' for purposes of this interpretive rule or the 
NESHAP, provided the roofing material is not friable prior to the 
cutting operation, and provided that the remaining roofing material near 
the cutline has not been made friable by the cutting operation. Where 
roofing material near the cutline has been made friable by the use of 
the RB cutter (i.e. where such remaining roofing material near the 
cutline can be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder using hand 
pressure), it is EPA's interpretation that the use of an encapsulant 
will ensure that such friable material need not be treated or disposed 
of as asbestos containing waste material. The encapsulant may be applied 
to the friable material after the roofing material has been collected 
into stacks for subsequent disposal as nonasbestos waste. It is EPA's 
view that if the encapsulation procedure set forth in this paragraph is 
followed in operations where roofing material near the cutline has been 
rendered friable by the use of an RB roof cutter, and if the 
decontamination procedures set forth in paragraph 3.C.3 have been 
followed, the NESHAP's no visible emissions and adequately wet 
requirements would be met for the removal, handling and disposal of the 
remaining roofing material.
    3.C.6. As one way to comply with the NESHAP, the dust and debris 
from cutting can be placed in leak-tight containers, such as plastic 
bags, and the containers labeled using warning labels required by OSHA 
(29 CFR 1926.58). In addition, the containers must have labels that 
identify the waste generator (such as the name of the roofing 
contractor, abatement contractor, and/or building owner or operator) and 
the location of the site at which the waste was generated.

                           IV. Waste Disposal

                        A. Disposal Requirements

    4.A.1. Section 61.150(b) requires that, as soon as is practical, all 
collected dust and debris from cutting as well as any contaminated 
roofing squares, must be taken to a landfill that is operated in 
accordance with Sec.61.154 or to an EPA-approved site that converts 
asbestos waste to nonasbestos material in accordance with Sec.61.155. 
During the loading and unloading of affected waste, asbestos warning 
signs must be affixed to the vehicles.

                        B. Waste Shipment Record

    4.B.1. For each load of asbestos waste that is regulated under the 
NESHAP, a waste shipment record (WSR) must be maintained in accordance 
with Sec.61.150(d). Information that must be maintained for each waste 
load includes the following:
     Name, address, and telephone number of the waste 
generator
     Name and address of the local, State, or EPA 
regional office responsible for administering the asbestos NESHAP 
program
     Quantity of waste in cubic meters (or cubic 
yards)
     Name and telephone number of the disposal site 
operator
     Name and physical site location of the disposal 
site
     Date transported
     Name, address, and telephone number of the 
transporter(s)
     Certification that the contents meet all 
government regulations for transport by highways.

[[Page 131]]

    4.B.2. The waste generator is responsible for ensuring that a copy 
of the WSR is delivered to the disposal site along with the waste 
shipment. If a copy of the WSR signed by the disposal site operator is 
not returned to the waste generator within 35 days, the waste generator 
must contact the transporter and/or the disposal site to determine the 
status of the waste shipment. 40 CFR 61.150(d)(3). If the signed WSR is 
not received within 45 days, the waste generator must report, in 
writing, to the responsible NESHAP program agency and send along a copy 
of the WSR. 40 CFR 61.150(d)(4). Copies of WSRs, including those signed 
by the disposal site operator, must be retained for at least 2 years. 40 
CFR 61.150(d)(5).

                               V. Training

    5.1. For those roof removals that are subject to the NESHAP, at 
least one on-site supervisor trained in the provisions of the NESHAP 
must be present during the removal of the asbestos roofing material. 40 
CFR 61.145(c)(8). In EPA's view, this person can be a job foreman, a 
hired consultant, or someone who can represent the building owner or 
contractor responsible for the removal. In addition to the initial 
training requirement, a refresher training course is required every 2 
years. The NESHAP training requirements became effective on November 20, 
1991.
    5.2. Asbestos training courses developed specifically to address 
compliance with the NESHAP in roofing work, as well as courses developed 
for other purposes can satisfy this requirement of the NESHAP, as long 
as the course covers the areas specified in the regulation. EPA believes 
that Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) training courses 
will, for example, satisfy the NESHAP training requirements. However, 
nothing in this interpretive rule or in the NESHAP shall be deemed to 
require that roofing contractors or roofing workers performing 
operations covered by the NESHAP must be trained or accredited under 
AHERA, as amended by the Asbestos School Hazard Abatement 
Reauthorization Act (ASHARA). Likewise, state or local authorities may 
independently impose additional training, licensing, or accreditation 
requirements on roofing contractors performing operations covered by the 
NESHAP, but such additional training, licensing or accreditation is not 
called for by this interpretive rule or the federal NESHAP.
    5.3. For removal of Category I asbestos containing roofing material 
where RB roof cutters or equipment that similarly damages the asbestos-
containing roofing material are used, the NESHAP training requirements 
(Sec.61.145(c)(8)) apply as discussed in Section I above. It is EPA's 
intention that removal of Category I asbestos-containing roofing 
material using hatchets, axes, knives, and/or the use of spud bars, pry 
bars and shovels to lift the roofing material, or similar removal 
methods that slice, punch, or shear the roof membrane are not subject to 
the training requirements, since these methods do not cause the roof 
removal to be subject to the NESHAP. Likewise, it is EPA's intention 
that roof removal operations involving Category II nonfriable ACM are 
not subject to the training requirements where such operations are not 
subject to the NESHAP as discussed in section I above.

  Subpart N_National Emission Standard for Inorganic Arsenic Emissions 
                     From Glass Manufacturing Plants

    Source: 51 FR 28025, Aug. 4, 1986, unless otherwise noted.



Sec.61.160  Applicability and designation of source.

    (a) The source to which this subpart applies is each glass melting 
furnace that uses commercial arsenic as a raw material. This subpart 
does not apply to pot furnaces.
    (b) Rebricking is not considered construction or modification for 
the purposes of Sec.61.05(a).



Sec.61.161  Definitions.

    The terms used in this subpart are defined in the Clean Air Act, in 
Sec.61.02, or in this section as follows:
    Arsenic-containing glass type means any glass that is distinguished 
from other glass solely by the weight percent of arsenic added as a raw 
material and by the weight percent of arsenic in the glass produced. Any 
two or more glasses that have the same weight percent of arsenic in the 
raw materials as well as in the glass produced shall be considered to 
belong to one arsenic-containing glass type, without regard to the 
recipe used or any other characteristics of the glass or the method of 
production.
    By-pass the control device means to operate the glass melting 
furnace without operating the control device to which that furnace's 
emissions are directed routinely.
    Commercial arsenic means any form of arsenic that is produced by 
extraction

[[Page 132]]

from any arsenic-containing substance and is intended for sale or for 
intentional use in a manufacturing process. Arsenic that is a naturally 
occurring trace constituent of another substance is not considered 
``commercial arsenic.''
    Cullet means waste glass recycled to a glass melting furnace.
    Glass melting furnace means a unit comprising a refractory vessel in 
which raw materials are charged, melted at high temperature, refined, 
and conditioned to produce molten glass. The unit includes foundations, 
superstructure and retaining walls, raw material charger systems, heat 
exchangers, melter cooling system, exhaust system, refractory brick 
work, fuel supply and electrical boosting equipment, integral control 
systems and instrumentation, and appendages for conditioning and 
distributing molten glass to forming apparatuses. The forming 
apparatuses, including the float bath used in flat glass manufacturing, 
are not considered part of the glass melting furnace.
    Glass produced means the glass pulled from the glass melting 
furnace.
    Inorganic arsenic means the oxides and other noncarbon compounds of 
the element arsenic included in particulate matter, vapors, and 
aerosols.
    Malfunction means any sudden failure of air pollution control 
equipment or process equipment or of a process to operate in a normal or 
usual manner so that emissions of arsenic are increased.
    Pot furnace means a glass melting furnace that contains one or more 
refractory vessels in which glass is melted by indirect heating. The 
openings of the vessels are in the outside wall of the furnace and are 
covered with refractory stoppers during melting.
    Rebricking means cold replacement of damaged or worn refractory 
parts of the glass melting furnace. Rebricking includes replacement of 
the refractories comprising the bottom, sidewalls, or roof of the 
melting vessel; replacement of refractory work in the heat exchanger; 
and replacement of refractory portions of the glass conditioning and 
distribution system.
    Shutdown means the cessation of operation of an affected source for 
any purpose.
    Theoretical arsenic emissions factor means the amount of inorganic 
arsenic, expressed in grams per kilogram of glass produced, as 
determined based on a material balance.
    Uncontrolled total arsenic emissions means the total inorganic 
arsenic in the glass melting furnace exhaust gas preceding any add-on 
emission control device.

[51 FR 28025, Aug. 4, 1986; 51 FR 35355, Oct. 3, 1986]



Sec.61.162  Emission limits.

    (a) The owner or operator of an existing glass melting furnace 
subject to the provisions of this subpart shall comply with either 
paragraph (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this section; except as provided in 
paragraph (c) of this section.
    (1) Uncontrolled total arsenic emissions from the glass melting 
furnace shall be less than 2.5 Mg (2.7 ton) per year, or
    (2) Total arsenic emissions from the glass melting furnace shall be 
conveyed to a control device and reduced by at least 85 percent.
    (b) The owner or operator of a new or modified glass melting furnace 
subject to the provisions of this subpart shall comply with either 
paragraph (b)(1) or (b)(2) of this section, except as provided in 
paragraph (c) of this section.
    (1) Uncontrolled total arsenic emissions from the glass melting 
furnace shall be less than 0.4 Mg (0.44 ton) per year, or
    (2) Total arsenic emissions from the glass melting furnace shall be 
conveyed to a control device and reduced by at least 85 percent.
    (c) An owner or operator of a source subject to the requirements of 
this section may, after approval by the Administrator, bypass the 
control device to which arsenic emissions from the furnace are directed 
for a limited period of time for designated purposes such as maintenance 
of the control device, as specified in Sec.61.165(e).
    (d) At all times, including periods of startup, shutdown, and 
malfunction, the owner or operator of a glass melting furnace subject to 
the provisions of this subpart shall operate and maintain the furnace 
and associated air pollution control equipment in a manner

[[Page 133]]

consistent with good air pollution control practice for minimizing 
emissions of inorganic arsenic to the atmosphere to the maximum extent 
practicable. Determination of whether acceptable operating and 
maintenance procedures are being used will be based on information 
available to the Administrator, which may include, but is not limited 
to, monitoring results, review of operating and maintenance procedures, 
inspection of the source, and review of other records.

[51 FR 28025, Aug. 4, 1986, as amended at 65 FR 62157, Oct. 17, 2000]



Sec.61.163  Emission monitoring.

    (a) An owner or operator of a glass melting furnace subject to the 
emission limit in Sec.61.162(a)(2) or Sec.61.162(b)(2) shall:
    (1) Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a continuous 
monitoring system for the measurement of the opacity of emissions 
discharged into the atmosphere from the control device; and
    (2) Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a monitoring device 
for the continuous measurement of the temperature of the gas entering 
the control device.
    (b) All continuous monitoring systems and monitoring devices shall 
be installed and operational prior to performance of an emission test 
required by Sec.61.164(a). Verification of operational status shall, 
at a minimum, consist of an evaluation of the monitoring system in 
accordance with the requirements and procedures contained in Performance 
Specification 1 of appendix B of 40 CFR part 60.
    (c) During the emission test required in Sec.61.164(a) each owner 
or operator subject to paragraph (a) of this section shall:
    (1) Conduct continuous opacity monitoring from the beginning of the 
first test run until the completion of the third test run. Process and 
control equipment shall be operated in a manner that will minimize

charging rate for the copper converter department averaged over a 1-year 
period is less than 75 kg/hr (165 lb/hr), as determined under Sec.
61.174(f).
    (b) The owner or operator of each copper converter subject to the 
provisions of this subpart shall reduce inorganic arsenic emissions to 
the atmosphere by meeting the following design, equipment, work 
practice, and operational requirements:
    (1) Install, operate, and maintain a secondary hood system on each 
copper converter. Each secondary hood system shall consist of a hood 
enclosure, air curtain fan(s), exhaust system fan(s), and ductwork that 
conveys the captured emissions to a control device, and shall meet the 
following specifications:
    (i) The configuration and dimensions of the hood enclosure shall be 
such that the copper converter mouth, charging ladles, skimming ladles, 
and any other material transfer vessels used will be housed within the 
confines or influence of the hood enclosure during each mode of copper 
converter operation.
    (ii) The back of the hood enclosure shall be fully enclosed and 
sealed against the primary hood. Portions of the side-walls in contact 
with the copper converter shall be sealed against the converter.
    (iii) Openings in the top and front of the hood enclosure to allow

horizontal-slotted plenum along the top, and the opposite side-wall 
shall be equipped with an exhaust hood. The horizontal-slotted plenum 
shall be designed to allow the distance from the base to the top of the 
horizontal slot to be adjustable up to a dimension of 76 mm.
    (vi) The horizontal-slotted plenum shall be connected to a fan. When 
activated, the fan shall push air through the horizontal slot, producing 
a horizontal air curtain above the copper converter that is directed to 
the exhaust hood. The fan power output installed shall be sufficient to 
overcome static pressure losses through the ductwork upstream of the 
horizontal-slotted plenum and across the plenum, and to deliver at least 
22,370 watts (30 air horsepower) at the horizontal-slotted plenum 
discharge.
    (vii) The exhaust hood shall be sized to completely intercept the 
airstream from the horizontal-slotted plenum combined with the 
additional airflow resulting from entrainment of the surrounding air. 
The exhaust hood shall be connected to a fan. When activated, the fan 
shall pull the combined airstream into the exhaust hood.
    (viii) The entire secondary hood system shall be equipped with 
dampers and instrumentation, as appropriate, so that the desired air 
curtain and exhaust flow are maintained during each mode of copper 
converter operation.
    (2) Optimize the capture of secondary inorganic arsenic emissions by 
operating the copper converter and secondary hood system at all times as 
follows:
    (i) Copper converter. (A) Increase the air curtain and exhaust flow 
rates to their optimum conditions prior to raising the primary hood and 
rolling the copper converter out for charging, skimming, or pouring.

[[Page 140]]

    (B) Once rolled out, prior to the commencement of skimming or 
pouring, hold the copper converter in an idle position until fuming from 
the molten bath has been minimized.
    (C) During skimming, raise the receiving ladle off the ground and 
position the ladle as close to the copper converter mouth as possible to 
minimize the drop distance between the converter mouth and the receiving 
ladle.
    (D) Control the rate of flow into the receiving ladle to the extent 
practicable to minimize fuming.
    (E) Upon the completion of each charge, withdraw the charging ladle 
or vessel used from the confines of the secondary hood in a slow, 
deliberate manner.
    (F) During charging, skimming, or pouring, ensure that the crane 
block does not disturb the air flow between the horizontal-slotted 
plenum and the exhaust hood.
    (ii) Secondary hood system. (A) Operate the secondary hood system 
under conditions that will result in the maximum capture of inorganic 
arsenic emissions.
    (B) Within 30 days after the effective date of this subpart, or 
within 30 days after the initial operation of each secondary hood 
system, whichever comes later, provide to the Administrator a list of 
operating conditions for the secondary hood system that will result in 
the maximum capture of inorganic arsenic emissions. This list shall 
specify the operating parameters for the following:
    (1) The dimensions of the horizontal slot.
    (2) The velocity of air through the horizontal slot during each mode 
of converter operation.
    (3) The distance from the horizontal slot to the exhaust hood.
    (4) The face velocity at the opening of the exhaust hood during each 
mode of converter operation.
    (C) Operate the secondary hood system under the conditions listed in 
paragraph (b)(2)(ii)(B) of this section, unless otherwise specified by 
the Administrator.
    (D) Notify the Administrator in writing within 30 days if there is 
any change in the operating conditions submitted pursuant to the 
requirements of paragraph (b)(2)(ii)(B) that will result in any 
reduction in the maximum capture of inorganic arsenic emissions.
    (3) Comply with the following inspection and maintenance 
requirements after installing the secondary hood system required in 
paragraph (b)(1) of this section:
    (i) At least once every month, visually inspect the components of 
the secondary hood system that are exposed to potential damage from 
crane and ladle operation, including the hood enclosure, side- and back-
wall hood seals, and the horizontal slot.
    (ii) Replace or repair any defective or damaged components of the 
secondary hood system within 30 days after discovering the defective or 
damaged components.
    (c) No owner or operator of a copper converter subject to the

Sec.61.203  Radon monitoring and compliance procedures.

    (a) Within sixty days following the date on which a stack becomes an 
inactive stack, or within ninety days after the date on which this 
subpart first took effect if a stack was already inactive on that date, 
each owner or operator of an inactive phosphogypsum stack shall test the 
stack for radon-222 flux in accordance with the procedures described in 
40 CFR part 61, appendix B, Method 115. EPA shall be notified at least 
30 days prior to each such emissions test so that EPA may, at its 
option, observe the test. If meteorological conditions are such that a 
test cannot be properly conducted, then the owner or operator shall 
notify EPA and test as soon as conditions permit.
    (b)(1) Within ninety days after the testing is required, the owner 
or operator shall provide EPA with a report detailing the actions taken 
and the results of the radon-222 flux testing. Each report shall also 
include the following information:
    (i) The name and location of the facility;
    (ii) A list of the stacks at the facility including the size and 
dimensions of each stack;
    (iii) The name of the person responsible for the operation of the

appendix B to part 61, within ninety days after the testing commences 
the owner or operator shall provide EPA with an initial report, 
including the results of the first measurement period and a schedule for 
all subsequent measurements. An additional report containing all the 
information in Sec.61.203(b) shall be submitted within ninety days 
after completion of the final measurements.
    (d) If at any point an owner or operator of a stack once again uses 
an inactive stack for the disposal of phosphogypsum or for water 
management, the stack ceases to be in inactive status and the owner or 
operator must notify EPA in writing within 45 days. When the owner or 
operator ceases to use the stack for disposal of phosphogypsum or water 
management, the stack will once again become inactive and the owner or 
operator must satisfy again all testing and reporting requirements for 
inactive stacks.
    (e) If an owner or operator removes phosphogypsum from an inactive 
stack, the owner shall test the stack in accordance with the procedures 
described in 40 CFR part 61, appendix B, Method 115. The stack shall be 
tested within ninety days of the date that the owner or operator first 
removes phosphogypsum from the stack, and the test shall be repeated at 
least once during each calendar year that the owner or operator removes 
additional phosphogypsum from the stack. EPA shall be notified at least 
30 days prior to an emissions test so that EPA may, at its option, 
observe the test. If meteorological conditions are such that a test 
cannot be properly conducted, then the owner shall notify EPA and test 
as soon as conditions permit. Within ninety days after completion of a 
test, the owner or operator shall provide EPA with a report detailing 
the actions taken and the results of the radon-222 flux testing. Each 
such report shall include all of the information specified by Sec.

operator of a phosphogypsum stack shall measure the average radium-226 
concentration at the location in the stack from which phosphogypsum will 
be removed. Measurements shall be performed for each such location prior 
to the initial distribution in commerce of phosphogypsum removed from 
that location and at least once during each calendar year while 
distribution of phosphogypsum removed from the location continues.
    (1) A minimum of 30 phosphogypsum samples shall be taken at 
regularly spaced intervals across the surface of the location on the 
stack from which the phosphogypsum will be removed. Let n1 
represent the number of samples taken.
    (2) Measure the radium-226 concentration of each of the 
n1 samples in accordance with the analytical procedures 
described in 40 CFR part 61, appendix B, Method 114.
    (3) Calculate the mean, x1, and the standard deviation, 
s1, of the n1 radium-226 concentrations:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR03FE99.054

Where x1 and s1 are expressed in pCi/g.

    (4) Calculate the 95th percentile for the distribution, x*, using 
the following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR03FE99.055

Where x* is expressed in pCi/g.

    (5) If the purpose for removing phosphogypsum from a stack is for 
distribution to commerce pursuant to Sec.61.206, the owner or operator 
of a phosphogypsum stack shall report the mean, standard deviation, 95th 
percentile and sample size. If the purpose for removing phosphogypsum 
from a stack is for distribution to commerce pursuant to Sec.61.204, 
the additional sampling procedures set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) 
of this section shall apply.
    (b) Based on the values for x1 and x* calculated in 
paragraphs paragraphs (a)(3) and (4) of this section, determine which of 
the following conditions will be met:

[[Page 154]]

    (1) If x1 <10 pCi/g and x* <=10 pCi/g; phosphogypsum may 
be removed from this area of the stack for distribution in commerce 
pursuant to Sec.61.204.
    (2) If x1, <10 pCi/g and x* 10 pCi/g, the 
owner or operator may elect to follow the procedures for further 
sampling set forth in paragraph (c) of this section:
    (3) If x1 =10 pCi/g; phosphogypsum shall not 
be removed from this area of the stack for distribution in commerce 
pursuant to Sec.61.204.
    (c) If the owner or operator elects to conduct further sampling to 
determine if phosphogypsum can be removed from this area of the stack, 
the following procedure shall apply. The objective of the following 
procedure is to demonstrate, with a 95% probability, that the 
phosphogypsum from this area of the stack has a radium-226 concentration 
no greater than 10 pCi/g. The procedure is iterative, the sample size 
may have to be increased more than one time; otherwise the phosphogypsum 
cannot be removed from this area of the stack for distribution to 
commerce pursuant to Sec.61.204.
    (1)(i) Solve the following equation for the total number of samples 
required:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR03FE99.056

    (ii) The sample size n2 shall be rounded upwards to the 
next whole number. The number of additional samples needed is 
nA = n2-n1.
    (2) Obtain the necessary number of additional samples, 
nA, which shall also be taken at regularly spaced intervals 
across the surface of the location on the stack from which phosphogypsum 
will be removed.
    (3) Measure the radium-226 concentration of each of the 
nA additional samples in accordance with the analytical 
procedures described in 40 CFR part 61, appendix B, Method 114.
    (4) Recalculate the mean and standard deviation of the entire set of 
n2 radium-226 concentrations by joining this set of 
nA concentrations with the n1 concentrations 
previously measured. Use the formulas in paragraph (a)(3) of this 
section, substituting the entire set of n2 samples in place 
of the n1 samples called for in paragraph (a)(3) of this section, 
thereby determining the mean, x2, and standard deviation, 
s2, for the entire set of n2 concentrations.
    (5) Repeat the procedure described in paragraph (a)(4) of this 
section, substituting the recalculated mean, x2, for 
x1, the recalculated standard deviation, s2, for 
s1, and total sample size, n2, for n1.
    (6) Repeat the procedure described in paragraph (b) of this section, 
substituting the recalculated mean, x2 for x1.

Sec.61.221  Definitions.

    As used in this subpart, all terms not defined here have the 
meanings given them in the Clean Air Act or subpart A of part 61. The 
following terms shall have the following specific meanings:
    (a) Long term stabilization means the addition of material on a 
uranium mill tailings pile for the purpose of ensuring compliance with 
the requirements of 40 CFR 192.02(a). These actions shall be considered 
complete when the Nuclear Regulatory Commission determines that the 
requirements of 40 CFR 192.02(a) have been met.
    (b) Operational means a uranium mill tailings pile that is licensed 
to accept additional tailings, and those tailings can be added without 
violating subpart W or any other Federal, state or local rule or law. A 
pile cannot be considered operational if it is filled to capacity or the 
mill it accepts tailings from has been dismantled or otherwise 
decommissioned.
    (c) Residual radioactive materials shall have the same meaning as in 
section 101(7) of the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 
1978, 42 U.S.C. 7911(7).
    (d) Tailings shall have the same meaning as in section 101(8) of the 
Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act of 1978, 42 U.S.C. 7911(8).
    (e) In significant part means in a manner that is not reasonably 
expected to materially (i.e., more than de minimis) interfere with 
compliance with the 20 pCi/m\2\-s flux standard as expeditiously as 
practicable considering technological feasibility (including factors 
beyond the control of the licensee).

Sec.61.222  Standard.

    (a) Radon-222 emissions to the ambient air from uranium mill 
tailings pile that are no longer operational shall not exceed 20 pCi/
(m\2\-sec) (1.9 pCi/(ft\2\-sec)) of radon-222.
    (b) Once a uranium mill tailings pile or impoundment ceases to be 
operational it must be disposed of and brought into compliance with this 
standard within two years of the effective date of the standard. If it 
is not physically possible for an owner or operator to complete disposal 
within that time, EPA shall, after consultation with the owner or 
operator, establish a compliance agreement which will assure that 
disposal will be completed as quickly as possible.

[54 FR 51702, Dec. 15, 1989, as amended at 59 FR 36301, July 15, 1994; 
65 FR 62158, Oct. 17, 2000]



Sec.61.223  Compliance procedures.

    (a) Sixty days following the completion of covering the pile to 
limit radon emissions but prior to the long term stabilization of the 
pile, the owners or operators of uranium mill tailings shall conduct 
testing for all piles within the facility in accordance with the 
procedures described in 40 CFR part 61, appendix B, Method 115, or other 
procedures for which EPA has granted prior approval.
    (b) Ninety days after the testing is required, each facility shall 
provide EPA with a report detailing the actions taken and the results of 
the radon-222 flux testing. EPA shall be notified at least 30 days prior 
to an emission test so that EPA may, at its option, observe the test. If 
meteorological conditions are such that a test cannot be properly 
conducted, then the owner or operator shall notify EPA and test as soon 
as conditions permit. Each report shall also include the following 
information:
    (1) The name and location of the facility.

[[Page 157]]

    (2) A list of the piles at the facility.
    (3) A description of the control measures taken to decrease the 
radon flux from the source and any actions taken to insure the long term 
effectiveness of the control measures.
    (4) The results of the testing conducted, including the results of 
each measurement.
    (5) Each report shall be signed and dated by a public official in 
charge of the facility and contain the following declaration immediately 
above the signature line:

    I certify under penalty of law that I have personally examined and 
am familiar with the information submitted herein and based on my 
inquiry of those individuals immediately responsible for obtaining the 
information. I believe that the submitted information is true, accurate 
and complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties for 
submitting false information including the possibility of fine and 
imprisonment. See 18 U.S.C. 1001.

    (c) If year long measurements are made in accordance with Method 115 
of appendix B of part 61, this report shall include the results of the 
first measurement period and provide a schedule for the measurement 
frequency to be used. An additional report shall be submitted ninety 
days after completion of the final measurements.
    (d) If long term stabilization has begun before the effective date 
of the rule then testing may be conducted at any time, up to 60 days 
after the long term stabilization is completed.
    (e) If the testing demonstrates that the pile meets the requirement 
of Sec.61.222(a) and long term stabilization has been completed then 
the pile is considered disposed for purposes of this rule.

Sec.61.224  Recordkeeping requirements.

    The owner or operator must maintain records documenting the source 
of input parameters including the results of all measurements upon which 
they are based, the calculations and/or analytical methods used to 
derive values for input parameters, and the procedure used to determine 
compliance. This documentation should be sufficient to allow an 
independent auditor to verify the accuracy of the determination made 
concerning the facility's compliance with the standard. The 
Administrator shall be kept apprised of the location of these records 
and the records must be kept for at least five years and upon request be 
made available for inspection by the Administrator, or his authorized 
representative.



Sec.61.225  Exemption from the reporting and testing requirements
of 40 CFR 61.10.

Sec.61.226  Reconsideration of rescission and reinstatement of this
subpart.

    (a) Reinstatement of this subpart upon completion of reconsideration 
of rescission. (1) The Administrator shall reinstate 40 CFR part 61, 
subpart T as applied to owners and operators of non-operational uranium 
mill tailings disposal sites that are licensed by the NRC or an affected 
Agreement State if the Administrator determines by rulemaking, based on 
the record, that NRC or an affected Agreement State has:
    (i) Failed on a programmatic basis to implement and enforce, in 
significant part, the regulations governing the disposal of uranium mill 
tailings promulgated by EPA and NRC or the tailings closure plan (radon) 
(i.e., contained in the license) requirements establishing milestones 
for the purpose of emplacing a permanent radon barrier that will achieve 
compliance with the 20 pCi/m \2\-s flux standard; and
    (ii) Those failures may reasonably be anticipated to significantly 
interfere (i.e., more than de minimis) with the timely emplacement of a 
permanent radon barrier constructed to achieve compliance with the 20 
pCi/m \2\-s flux standard at the uranium mill tailings disposal site.
    (2) The Administrator shall reinstate 40 CFR part 61, subpart T on a 
site-specific basis as applied to owners and operators of non-
operational uranium mill tailings disposal sites that are licensed by 
the NRC or an affected Agreement State if the Administrator determines 
by rulemaking, based on the record:

[[Page 158]]

    (i) That NRC or an affected Agreement State has failed in 
significant part on a site-specific basis to achieve compliance by the 
operator of the site or sites with applicable license requirements, 
regulations, or standards implemented by NRC and the affected Agreement 
States; and
    (ii) Those failures may reasonably be anticipated to significantly 
interfere (i.e., more than de minimis) with the timely emplacement of a 
permanent radon barrier constructed to achieve compliance with the 20 
pCi/m \2\-s flux standard at the uranium mill tailings disposal site.
    (3) Upon completion of the reconsideration of rescission pursuant to 
Sec.61.226(c) the Administrator may issue a finding that reinstatement 
of this subpart is not appropriate if the Administrator finds:
    (i) NRC and the affected Agreement States are on a programmatic 
basis implementing and enforcing, in significant part, the regulations 
governing the disposal of uranium mill tailings promulgated by EPA and 
NRC or the tailings closure plan (radon) (i.e., contained in the 
license) requirements establishing milestones for the purpose of 
emplacing a permanent radon barrier that will achieve compliance with 
the 20 pCi/m \2\-s flux standard; or
    (ii) NRC or an affected Agreement State are on a site-specific 
basis, in significant part, achieving compliance by the operator of the 
site or sites with applicable license requirements, regulations, or 
standards implemented by NRC and the affected Agreement States.
    (b) Procedures to petition for reconsideration of rescission of this 
subpart. (1) A person may petition the Administrator to reconsider the 
rescission and seek reinstatement of this subpart under Sec.61.226(a).
    (2) EPA shall summarily dismiss a petition to reconsider rescission 
and seek reinstatement of this subpart under Sec.61.226(a)(1) 
(programmatic basis), without prejudice, unless the petitioner 
demonstrates that written notice of the alleged failure(s) was provided 
to NRC at least 60 days before filing the petition with EPA. This 
notification shall include a statement of the grounds for such a 
petition and this notice requirement may be satisfied by, but is not 
limited to, submissions or pleadings submitted to NRC during a 
proceeding conducted by NRC.
    (3) EPA shall summarily dismiss a petition to reconsider rescission 
and seek reinstatement of this subpart under Sec.61.226(a)(2) (site-
specific basis), without prejudice, unless the petitioner demonstrates 
that a written request was made to NRC or an affected Agreement State 
for enforcement or other relief at least 60 days before filing its 
petition with EPA, and unless the petitioner alleges that NRC or the 
affected Agreement State failed to respond to such request by taking 
action, as necessary, to assure timely implementation and enforcement of 
the 20 pCi/m \2\-s flux standard.
    (4) Upon receipt of a petition under Sec.61.226(b)(1) that is not 
dismissed under Sec.61.226(b)(2) or (b)(3), EPA will propose to grant 
or deny an authorized petition to reconsider, take comments on the 
Agency's proposed action, and take final action granting or denying such 
petition to reconsider within 300 days of receipt.
    (c) Reconsideration of rescission of this subpart initiated by the 
Administrator. (1) The Administrator may initiate reconsideration of the 
rescission and reinstatement of this subpart as applied to owners and 
operators of non-operational uranium mill tailings disposal sites if EPA 
has reason to believe that NRC or an affected Agreement State has failed 
to implement and enforce, in significant part, the regulations governing 
the disposal of uranium mill tailings promulgated by EPA and NRC or the 
tailings closure plan (radon) requirements establishing milestones for 
the purpose of emplacing a permanent radon barrier that will achieve 
compliance with the 20 pCi/m \2\-s flux standard.
    (2) Before the Administrator initiates reconsideration of the 
rescission and reinstatement of this subpart under Sec.61.226(c)(1), 
EPA shall consult with NRC to address EPA's concerns and if the 
consultation does not resolve the concerns, EPA shall provide NRC with 
60 days notice of the Agency's intent to initiate rulemaking to 
reinstate this subpart.

Sec.61.244  Alternative means of emission limitation.

    (a) Permission to use an alternative means of emission limitation 
under section 112(e)(3) of the Clean Air Act shall be governed by the 
following procedures:
    (b) Where the standard is an equipment, design, or operational 
requirement:
    (1) Each owner or operator applying for permission shall be 
responsible for collecting and verifying test data for an alternative 
means of emission limitation to test data for the equipment, design, and 
operational requirements.
    (2) The Administrator may condition the permission on requirements 
that may be necessary to assure operation and maintenance to achieve the 
same emission reduction as the equipment, design, and operational 
requirements.
    (c) Where the standard is a work practice:
    (1) Each owner or operator applying for permission shall be 
responsible for collecting and verifying test data for an alternative 
means of emission limitation.
    (2) For each source for which permission is requested, the emission 
reduction achieved by the required work practices shall be demonstrated 
for a minimum period of 12 months.
    (3) For each source for which permission is requested, the emission 
reduction achieved by the alternative means of emission limitation shall 
be demonstrated.
    (4) Each owner or operator applying for permission shall commit in 
writing each source to work practices that provide for emission 
reductions equal to or greater than the emission reductions achieved by 
the required work practices.
    (5) The Administrator will compare the demonstrated emission 
reduction for the alternative means of emission limitation to the 
demonstrated emission reduction for the required work practices and will 
consider the commitment in paragraph (c)(4).
    (6) The Administrator may condition the permission on requirements 
that may be necessary to assure operation and maintenance to achieve the 
same emission reduction as the required work practices of this subpart.
    (d) An owner or operator may offer a unique approach to demonstrate 
the alternative means of emission limitation.
    (e)(1) Manufacturers of equipment used to control equipment leaks of 
a VHAP may apply to the Administrator for permission for an alternative 
means of emission limitation that achieves a reduction in emissions of 
the VHAP achieved by the equipment, design, and operational requirements 
of this subpart.
    (2) The Administrator will grant permission according to the 
provisions of paragraphs (b), (c), and (d).

Sec.61.245  Test methods and procedures.

    (a) Each owner or operator subject to the provisions of this subpart 
shall comply with the test methods and procedures requirements provided 
in this section.
    (b) Monitoring, as required in Sec. Sec.61.242, 61.243, 61.244, 
and 61.135, shall comply with the following requirements:
    (1) Monitoring shall comply with Method 21 of appendix A of 40 CFR 
part 60.
    (2) The detection instrument shall meet the performance criteria of 
Method 21.
    (3) The instrument shall be calibrated before use on each day of its 
use by the procedures specified in Method 21.
    (4) Calibration gases shall be:
    (i) Zero air (less than 10 ppm of hydrocarbon in air); and
    (ii) A mixture of methane or n-hexane and air at a concentration of

[[Page 170]]

approximately, but less than, 10,000 ppm methane or n-hexane.
    (5) The instrument probe shall be traversed around all potential 
leak interfaces as close to the interface as possible as described in 
Method 21.
    (c) When equipment is tested for compliance with or monitored for no 
detectable emissions, the owner or operator shall comply with the 
following requirements:
    (1) The requirements of paragraphs (b) (1) through (4) shall apply.
    (2) The background level shall be determined, as set forth in Method 
21.
    (3) The instrument probe shall be traversed around all potential 
leak interfaces as close to the interface as possible as described in 
Method 21.
    (4) The arithmetic difference between the maximum concentration 
indicated by the instrument and the background level is compared with 
500 ppm for determining compliance.
    (d)(1) Each piece of equipment within a process unit that can 
conceivably contain equipment in VHAP service is presumed to be in VHAP 
service unless an owner or operator demonstrates that the piece of 
equipment is not in VHAP service. For a piece of equipment to be 
considered not in VHAP service, it must be determined that the percent 
VHAP content can be reasonably expected never to exceed 10 percent by 
weight. For purposes of determining the percent VHAP content of the 
process fluid that is contained in or contacts equipment, procedures 
that conform to the methods described in ASTM Method D-2267 
(incorporated by the reference as specified in Sec.61.18) shall be 
used.
    (2)(i) An owner or operator may use engineering judgment rather than 
the procedures in paragraph (d)(1) of this section to demonstrate that 
the percent VHAP content does not exceed 10 percent by weight, provided 
that the engineering judgment demonstrates that the VHAP content clearly 
does not exceed 10 percent by weight. When an owner or operator and the 
Administrator do not agree on whether a piece of equipment is not in 
VHAP service, however, the procedures in paragraph (d)(1) of this 
section shall be used to resolve the disagreement.
    (ii) If an owner or operator determines that a piece of equipment is 
in VHAP service, the determination can be revised only after following 
the procedures in paragraph (d)(1) of this section.
    (3) Samples used in determining the percent VHAP content shall be 
representative of the process fluid that is contained in or contacts the 
equipment or the gas being combusted in the flare.
    (e)(1) Method 22 of appendix A of 40 CFR part 60 shall be used to 
determine compliance of flares with the visible emission provisions of 
this subpart.
    (2) The presence of a flare pilot flame shall be monitored using a 
thermocouple or any other equivalent device to detect the presence of a 
flame.
    (3) The net heating value of the gas being combusted in a flare 
shall be calculated using the following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC15NO91.055

Where:

HT = Net heating value of the sample, MJ/scm (BTU/scf); where 
          the net enthalpy per mole of offgas is based on combustion at 
          25 [deg]C and 760 mm Hg (77 [deg]F and 14.7 psi), but the 
          standard temperature for determining the volume corresponding 
          to one mole is 20 [deg]C (68 [deg]F).
K = conversion constant, 1.740 x 10 \7\ (g-mole) (MJ)/(ppm-scm-kcal) 
          (metric units); or 4.674 x 10\8\ ((g-mole) (Btu)/(ppm-scf-
          kcal)) (English units)
Ci = Concentration of sample component ``i'' in ppm, as measured by 
          Method 18 of appendix A to 40 CFR part 60 and ASTM D2504-67, 
          77, or 88 (Reapproved 1993) (incorporated by reference as 
          specified in Sec.61.18).
Hi = net heat of combustion of sample component ``i'' at 25 
          [deg]C and 760 mm Hg (77 [deg]F and 14.7 psi), kcal/g-mole. 
          The heats of combustion may be determined using ASTM D2382-76 
          or 88 or D4809-95 (incorporated by reference as specified in 
          Sec.61.18) if published values are not available or cannot 
          be calculated.

    (4) The actual exit velocity of a flare shall be determined by 
dividing the volumetric flowrate (in units of standard temperature and 
pressure), as determined by Method 2, 2A, 2C, or 2D, as appropriate, by 
the unobstructed (free) cross section area of the flare tip.

[[Page 171]]

    (5) The maximum permitted velocity, Vmax, for air-
assisted flares shall be determined by the following equation:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR17OC00.487

Where:

Vmax = Maximum permitted velocity, m/sec (ft/sec).
HT = Net heating value of the gas being combusted, as 
          determined in paragraph (e)(3) of this section, MJ/scm (Btu/
          scf).
K1 = 8.706 m/sec (metric units)
    = 28.56 ft/sec (English units)
K2 = 0.7084 m\4\/(MJ-sec) (metric units)
    = 0.087 ft\4\/(Btu-sec) (English units)

Subpart W_National Emission Standards for Radon Emissions From Operating 
                              Mill Tailings

    Source: 54 FR 51703, Dec. 15, 1989, unless otherwise noted.



Sec.61.250  Designation of facilities.

    The provisions of this subpart apply to owners or operators of 
facilities licensed to manage uranium byproduct materials during and 
following the processing of uranium ores, commonly referred to as 
uranium mills and their associated tailings. This subpart does not apply 
to the disposal of tailings.



Sec.61.251  Definitions.

    As used in this subpart, all terms not defined here have the meaning 
given them in the Clean Air Act or 40 CFR part 61, subpart A. The 
following terms shall have the following specific meanings:
    (a) Area means the vertical projection of the pile upon the earth's 
surface.
    (b) Continuous disposal means a method of uranium byproduct material 
or tailings management and disposal in which uranium byproduct material 
or tailings are dewatered by mechanical methods immediately after 
generation. The dried uranium byproduct material or tailings are then 
placed in trenches or other disposal areas and immediately covered to 
limit emissions consistent with applicable Federal standards.
    (c) Dewatered means to remove the water from recently produced 
uranium byproduct material or tailings by mechanical or evaporative 
methods such that the water content of the uranium byproduct material or 
tailings does not exceed 30 percent by weight.
    (d) Existing conventional impoundment means any conventional uranium 
byproduct material or tailings impoundment which is licensed to accept 
additional uranium byproduct material or tailings and is in existence on 
December 15, 1989.
    (e) Operation. Operation means that an impoundment is being used for 
the continued placement of uranium byproduct material or tailings or is 
in standby status for such placement. An impoundment is in operation 
from the day that uranium byproduct material or tailings are first 
placed in the impoundment until the day that final closure begins.
    (f) Phased disposal means a method of uranium byproduct material or 
tailings management and disposal which uses lined impoundments which are 
filled and then immediately dried and covered to meet all applicable 
Federal standards.
    (g) Uranium byproduct material or tailings means the waste produced 
by the extraction or concentration of uranium from any ore processed 
primarily for its source material content. Ore bodies depleted by 
uranium solution extraction and which remain underground do not 
constitute byproduct material for the purposes of this subpart.
    (h) Conventional impoundment. A conventional impoundment is a 
permanent structure located at any uranium recovery facility which 
contains mostly solid uranium byproduct material or tailings from the 
extraction of uranium from uranium ore. These impoundments are left in 
place at facility closure.
    (i) Non-conventional impoundment. A non-conventional impoundment is 
used for managing liquids from uranium recovery operations and contains 
uranium byproduct material or tailings suspended in and/or covered by 
liquids. These structures are commonly known as holding ponds or 
evaporation ponds and can be located at any uranium recovery facility. 
They are typically not permanent structures unless they transition to 
become used as conventional impoundments. Impoundments constructed for 
the purpose of managing

[[Page 175]]

liquids from closure or remediation activities (e.g., contaminated 
groundwater), and which are used solely for that purpose, are not 
subject to the requirements of this subpart.
    (j) Heap leach pile. A heap leach pile is a pile of uranium ore 
placed on an engineered structure and stacked so as to allow uranium to 
be dissolved and removed by leaching liquids.
    (k) Standby. Standby means the period of time that an impoundment is 
not accepting uranium byproduct material or tailings but has not yet 
entered final closure.
    (l) Uranium recovery facility. A uranium recovery facility means a 
facility licensed by the NRC or an NRC Agreement State to manage uranium 
byproduct material or tailings during and following the processing of 
uranium ores. Common names for these facilities are a conventional 
uranium mill, an in-situ leach (or recovery) facility and a heap leach 
facility or pile.
    (m) Heap leach pile operational life. The operational life of a heap 
leach pile means the time period from the first time that lixiviant is 
placed on the heap leach pile until the time the final rinse is 
completed.
    (n) Final closure means the period during which an impoundment or 
heap leach pile is being managed in accordance with the milestones and 
requirements in an approved reclamation plan. Final closure for the 
impoundment or heap leach pile begins when the owner or operator 
provides written notice to the Administrator and to the Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission or applicable NRC Agreement State that:
    (1) A conventional impoundment is no longer receiving uranium 
byproduct material or tailings, is no longer on standby for such receipt 
and is being managed under an approved reclamation plan for that 
impoundment or facility closure plan; or
    (2) A non-conventional impoundment is no longer required for 
evaporation or holding purposes, is no longer on standby for such 
purposes and is being managed under an approved reclamation plan for 
that impoundment or facility closure plan; or
    (3) A heap leach pile has concluded its operational life and is 
being managed under an approved reclamation plan for that pile or 
facility closure plan.
    (o) Reclamation plan means the plan detailing activities and 
milestones to accomplish reclamation of impoundments or piles containing 
uranium byproduct material or tailings. Activities and milestones to be 
addressed include, but are not limited to, dewatering and contouring of 
conventional impoundments and heap leach piles, and removal and disposal 
of non-conventional impoundments. A reclamation plan prepared and 
approved in accordance with 10 CFR part 40, Appendix A is considered a 
reclamation plan in this subpart.

Sec.61.271  Emission standard.

    The owner or operator of each storage vessel with a design storage 
capacity greater than or equal to 38 cubic meters (10,000 gallons) to 
which this subpart applies shall comply with the requirements in 
paragraph (d) of this section and with the requirements either in 
paragraph (a), (b), or (c) of this section, or equivalent as provided in 
Sec.61.273.
    (a) The storage vessel shall be equipped with a fixed roof and an 
internal floating roof.
    (1) An internal floating roof means a cover that rests on the liquid 
surface (but not necessarily in complete contact with it) inside a 
storage vessel that has a permanently affixed roof. The internal 
floating roof shall be floating on the liquid surface at all times, 
except during initial fill and during those intervals when the storage 
vessel is completely emptied or subsequently emptied and refilled. When 
the roof is resting on the leg supports, the process of filling, 
emptying, or refilling shall be continuous and shall be accomplished as 
rapidly as possible.
    (2) Each internal floating roof shall be equipped with one of the 
closure devices listed in paragraphs (a)(2) (i), (ii), or (iii) of this 
section between the wall of the storage vessel and the edge of the 
internal floating roof. This requirement does not apply to each existing 
storage vessel for which construction of an internal floating roof 
equipped with a continuous seal commenced on or before July 28, 1988. A 
continuous seal means a seal that forms a continuous closure that 
completely covers the space between the wall of the storage vessel and 
the edge of the internal floating roof.
    (i) A foam- or liquid-filled seal mounted in contact with the liquid 
(liquid-mounted seal). A liquid-mounted seal means a foam- or liquid-
filled seal mounted in contact with the liquid between the wall of the 
storage vessel and the floating roof continuously around the 
circumference of the vessel.
    (ii) Two seals mounted one above the other so that each forms a 
continuous closure that completely covers the space between the wall of 
the storage vessel and the edge of the internal floating roof. The lower 
seal may be vapor-mounted, but both must be continuous.
    (iii) A metallic shoe seal. A metallic shoe seal (also referred to 
as a mechanical shoe seal) is, but is not limited to, a metal sheet held 
vertically against the wall of the storage vessel by springs or weighted 
levers and is connected by braces to the floating roof. A flexible 
coated fabric (envelope) spans the annular space between the metal sheet 
and the floating roof.
    (3) Automatic bleeder vents are to be closed at all times when the 
roof is floating, except when the roof is being floated off or is being 
landed on the roof leg supports.
    (4) Each opening in a noncontact internal floating roof except for 
automatic bleeder vents (vacuum breaker vents) and the rim space vents 
is to provide a projection below the liquid surface.

[[Page 179]]

    (5) Each internal floating roof shall meet the specifications listed 
below. If an existing storage vessel had an internal floating roof with 
a continuous seal as of July 28, 1988, the requirements listed below do 
not have to be met until the first time after September 14, 1989, the 
vessel is emptied and degassed or September 14, 1999, whichever occurs 
first,
    (i) Each opening in the internal floating roof except for leg 
sleeves, automatic bleeder vents, rim space vents, column wells, ladder 
wells, sample wells, and stub drains is to be equipped with a cover or 
lid. The cover or lid shall be equipped with a gasket. Covers on each 
access hatch and automatic gauge float well shall be bolted.
    (ii) Each penetration of the internal floating roof for the purposes 
of sampling shall be a sample well. Each sample well shall have a slit 
fabric cover that covers at least 90 percent of the opening.
    (iii) Each automatic bleeder vent shall be gasketed.
    (iv) Rim space vents shall be equipped with a gasket.
    (v) Each penetration of the internal floating roof that allows for 
passage of a ladder shall have a gasketed sliding cover.
    (vi) Each penetration of the internal floating roof that allows for 
passage of a column supporting the fixed roof shall have a flexible 
fabric sleeve seal or a gasketed sliding cover.
    (6) Each cover or lid on any opening in the internal floating roof 
shall be closed (i.e., no visible gaps), except when a device is in 
actual use Covers on each access hatch and each automatic gauge float 
well which are equipped with bolts shall be bolted when they are not in 
use. Rim space vents are to be set to open only when the internal 
floating roof is not floating or at the manufacturer's recommended 
setting.
    (b) The storage vessel shall have an external floating roof.
    (1) An external floating roof means a pontoon-type or double-deck-
type cover that rests on the liquid surface in a vessel with no fixed 
roof.
    (2) Each external floating roof shall be equipped with a closure 
device between the wall of the storage vessel and the roof edge. Except 
as provided in paragraph (b)(5) of this section, the closure device is 
to consist of two seals, one above the other. The lower seal is referred 
to as the primary seal and the upper seal is referred to as the 
secondary seal.
    (i) The primary seal shall be either a metallic shoe seal or a 
liquid-mounted seal. A liquid-mounted seal means a foam- or liquid-
filled seal mounted in contact with the liquid between the wall of the 
storage vessel and the floating roof continuously around the 
circumference of the vessel. A metallic shoe seal (which can also be 
referred to as a mechanical shoe seal) is, but is not limited to, a 
metal sheet held vertically against the wall of the storage vessel by 
springs or weighted levers and is connected by braces to the floating 
roof. A flexible coated fabric (envelope) spans the annular space 
between the metal sheet and the floating roof. Except as provided in 
Sec.61.272(b)(4), the primary seal shall completely cover the annular 
space between the edge of the floating roof and the vessel wall.
    (ii) The secondary seal shall completely cover the annular space 
between the external floating roof and the wall of the storage vessel in 
a continuous fashion except as allowed in Sec.61.272(b)(4).
    (3) Except for automatic bleeder vents and rim space vents, each 
opening in the noncontact external floating roof shall provide a 
projection below the liquid surface. Except for automatic bleeder vents, 
rim space vents, roof drains, and leg sleeves, each opening in the roof 
is to be equipped with a gasketed cover, seal or lid which is to be 
maintained in a closed position at all times (i.e., no visible gap) 
except when the device is in actual use. Automatic bleeder vents are to 
be closed at all times when the roof is floating, except when the roof 
is being floated off or is being landed on the roof leg supports. Rim 
vents are to be set to open when the roof is being floated off the roof 
leg supports or at the manufacturer's recommended setting. Automatic 
bleeder vents and rim space vents are to be gasketed. Each emergency 
roof drain is to be provided with a slotted membrane fabric cover that 
covers at

[[Page 180]]

least 90 percent of the area of the opening.
    (4) The roof shall be floating on the liquid at all times (i.e., off 
the roof leg supports) except during initial fill until the roof is 
lifted off leg supports and when the vessel is completely emptied and 
subsequently refilled. The process of emptying and refilling when the 
roof is resting on the leg supports shall be continuous and shall be 
accomplished as rapidly as possible.
    (5) The requirement for a secondary seal does not apply to each 
existing storage vessel that was equipped with a liquid-mounted primary 
seal as of July 28, 1988, until after the first time after September 14, 
1989, when the vessel is emptied and degassed or 10 years from September 
14, 1989, whichever occurs first.
    (c) The storage vessel shall be equipped with a closed vent system 
and a control device.
    (1) The closed vent system shall be designed to collect all benzene 
vapors and gases discharged from the storage vessel and operated with no 
detectable emissions, as indicated by an instrument reading of less than 
500 ppm above background and visual inspections, as determined in Sec.
61.242-11 (subpart V).
    (2) The control device shall be designed and operated to reduce 
inlet benzene emissions by 95 percent or greater. If a flare is used as 
the control device, it shall meet the specifications described in the 
general control device requirements of 40 CFR 60.18.
    (3) The specifications and requirements listed in paragraphs (c)(1) 
and (c)(2) of this section for closed vent systems and control devices 
do not apply during periods of routine maintenance. During periods of 
routine maintenance, the benzene level in the storage vessel(s) serviced 
by the control device subject to the provisions of Sec.61.271(c) may 
be lowered but not raised. Periods of routine maintenance shall not 
exceed 72 hours as outlined in the maintenance plan required by Sec.
61.272(c)(1)(iii).
    (4) The specifications and requirements listed in paragraphs (c)(1) 
and (c)(2) of this section for closed vents and control devices do not 
apply during a control system malfunction. A control system malfunction 
means any sudden and unavoidable failure of air pollution control 
equipment. A failure caused entirely or in part by design deficiencies, 
poor maintenance, careless operation, or other preventable upset 
condition or equipment breakdown is not considered a malfunction.
    (d) The owner or operator of each affected storage vessel shall meet 
the requirements of paragraph (a), (b), or (c) of this section or Sec.
61.270(g) as follows:
    (1) The owner or operator of each existing benzene storage vessel 
shall meet the requirements of paragraph (a), (b), or (c) of this 
section no later than 90 days after September 14, 1989, with the 
exceptions noted in paragraphs (a)(5) and (b)(5), unless a waiver of 
compliance has been approved by the Administrator in accordance with 
Sec.61.11.
    (2) The owner or operator of each benzene storage vessel upon which 
construction commenced after September 14, 1989 shall meet the 
requirements of paragraph (a), (b), or (c) of this section or Sec.
61.270(g) prior to filling (i.e., roof is lifted off leg supports) the 
storage vessel with benzene.
    (3) The owner or operator of each benzene storage vessel upon which 
construction commenced on or after July 28, 1988, and before September 
14, 1989, shall meet the requirements of paragraph (a), (b), or (c) of 
this section on September 14, 1989.

Sec.61.272  Compliance provisions.

    (a) For each vessel complying with Sec.61.271(a) (fixed roof and 
internal floating roof) each owner or operator shall:
    (1) After installing the control equipment required to comply with 
Sec.61.271(a), visually inspect the internal floating roof, the 
primary seal, and the secondary seal (if one is in service), prior to 
filling the storage vessel with benzene. If there are holes, tears or 
other openings in the primary seal, the secondary seal, or the seal 
fabric, or defects in the internal floating roof, the owner or operator 
shall repair the items before filling the storage vessel.
    (2) Visually inspect the internal floating roof and the primary seal 
or

[[Page 181]]

the secondary seal (if one is in service) through manholes and roof 
hatches on the fixed roof at least once every 12 months after initial 
fill, or at least once every 12 months after September 14, 1989, except 
as provided in paragraph (a)(4)(i) of this section. If the internal 
floating roof is not resting on the surface of the benzene liquid inside 
the storage vessel, or there is liquid on the roof, or the seal is 
detached, or there are holes or tears in the seal fabric, the owner or 
operator shall repair the items or empty and remove the storage vessel 
from service within 45 days. If a failure that is detected during 
inspections required in this paragraph cannot be repaired within 45 days 
and if the vessel cannot be emptied within 45 days, an extension of up 
to 30 additional days may be requested from the Administrator in the 
inspection report required in Sec.61.275(a). Such a request for an 
extension must document that alternate storage capacity is unavailable 
and specify a schedule of actions the company will take that will ensure 
that the control equipment will be repaired or the vessel will be 
emptied as soon as possible.
    (3) Visually inspect the internal floating roof, the primary seal, 
the secondary seal (if one is in service), gaskets, slotted membranes 
and sleeve seals (if any) each time the storage vessel is emptied and 
degassed. In no event shall inspections conducted in accordance with 
this provision occur at intervals greater than 10 years in the case of 
vessels conducting the annual visual inspections as specified in 
paragraph (a)(2) of this section and at intervals greater than 5 years 
in the case of vessels specified in paragraph (a)(4)(i) of this section.
    (i) For all the inspections required by paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(3) 
of this section, the owner or operator shall notify the Administrator in 
writing at least 30 days prior to the refilling of each storage vessel 
to afford the Administrator the opportunity to have an observer present. 
If the inspection required by paragraph (a)(3) of this section is not 
planned and the owner or operator could not have known about the 
inspection 30 days in advance of refilling the vessel, the owner or 
operator shall notify the Administrator at least 7 days prior to the 
refilling of the storage vessel. Notification shall be made by telephone 
immediately followed by written documentation demonstrating why the 
inspection was unplanned. Alternatively, the notification including the 
written documentation may be made in writing and sent by express mail so 
that it is received by the Administrator at least 7 days prior to 
refilling.
    (ii) If the internal floating roof has defects, the primary seal has 
holes, tears, or other openings in the seal or the seal fabric, or the 
secondary seal has holes, tears, or other openings in the seal or the 
seal fabric, or the gaskets no longer close off the liquid surfaces from 
the atmosphere, or the slotted membrane has more than 10 percent open 
area, the owner or operator shall repair the items as necessary so that 
none of the conditions specified in this paragraph exist before 
refilling the storage vessel with benzene.
    (4) For vessels equipped with a double-seal system as specified in 
Sec.61.271(a)(2)(ii):
    (i) Visually inspect the vessel as specified in paragraph (a)(3) of 
this section at least every 5 years; or
    (ii) Visually inspect the vessel annually as specified in paragraph 
(a)(2) of this section, and at least every 10 years as specified in 
paragraph (a)(3) of this section.
    (b) For each vessel complying with Sec.61.271(b) (external 
floating roof) the owner or operator shall:
    (1) Determine the gap areas and maximum gap widths between the 
primary seal and the wall of the storage vessel, and the secondary seal 
and the wall of the storage vessel according to the following frequency.
    (i) For an external floating roof vessel equipped with primary and 
secondary seals, measurements of gaps between the vessel wall and the 
primary seal (seal gaps) shall be performed during the hydrostatic 
testing of the vessel or within 90 days of the initial fill with benzene 
or within 90 days of September 14, 1989, whichever occurs last, and at 
least once every 5 years thereafter, except as provided in paragraph 
(b)(1)(ii) of this section.

[[Page 182]]

    (ii) For an external floating roof vessel equipped with a liquid-
mounted primary seal and without a secondary seal as provided for in 
Sec.61.271(b)(5), measurement of gaps between the vessel wall and the 
primary seal (seal gaps) shall be performed within 90 days of September 
14, 1989, and at least once per year thereafter. When a secondary seal 
is installed over the primary seal, measurement of primary seal gaps 
shall be performed within 90 days of installation and at least once 
every 5 years thereafter.
    (iii) For an external floating roof vessel equipped with primary and 
secondary seals, measurements of gaps between the vessel wall and the 
secondary seal shall be performed within 90 days of the initial fill 
with benzene, within 90 days of installation of the secondary seal, or 
within 90 days after September 14, 1989, whichever occurs last, and at 
least once per year thereafter.
    (iv) If any source ceases to store benzene for a period of 1 year or 
more, subsequent introduction of benzene into the vessel shall be 
considered an initial fill for the purposes of paragraphs (b)(1)(i), 
(b)(1)(ii), and (b)(1)(iii) of this section.
    (2) Determine gap widths and areas in the primary and secondary 
seals individually by the following procedures:
    (i) Measure seal gaps, if any, at one or more floating roof levels 
when the roof is floating off the roof leg supports.
    (ii) Measure seal gaps around the entire circumference of the vessel 
in each place where a 0.32 centimeter (cm) (1/8 in) diameter uniform 
probe passes freely (without forcing or binding against the seal) 
between the seal and the wall of the storage vessel and measure the 
circumferential distance of each such location.
    (iii) The total surface area of each gap described in paragraph 
(b)(2)(ii) of this section shall be determined by using probes of 
various widths to measure accurately the actual distance from the vessel 
wall to the seal and multiplying each such width by its respective 
circumferential distance.
    (3) Add the gap surface area of each gap location for the primary 
seal and the secondary seal individually. Divide the sum for each seal 
by the nominal diameter of the vessel and compare each ratio to the 
respective standards in Sec.61.272(b)(4) and Sec.61.272(b)(5).
    (4) Repair conditions that do not meet requirements listed in 
paragraph (b)(4) (i) and (ii) within 45 days of identification in any 
inspection or empty and remove the storage vessel from service within 45 
days.
    (i) The accumulated area of gaps between the vessel wall and the 
metallic shoe seal or the liquid-mounted primary seal shall not exceed 
212 cm\2\ per meter of vessel diameter (10.0 in\2\ per foot of vessel 
diameter) and the width of any portion of any gap shall not exceed 3.81 
cm (1\1/2\ in).
    (A) One end of the metallic shoe is to extend into the stored liquid 
and the other end is to extend a minimum vertical distance of 61 cm (24 
in) above the stored liquid surface.
    (B) There are to be no holes, tears, or other openings in the shoe, 
seal fabric, or seal envelope.
    (ii) The secondary seal is to meet the following requirements:
    (A) The secondary seal is to be installed above the primary seal so 
that it completely covers the space between the roof edge and the vessel 
wall except as provided in paragraph (b)(4)(ii)(B) of this section.
    (B) The accumulated area of gaps between the vessel wall and the 
secondary seal shall not exceed 21.2 cm\2\ per meter of vessel diameter 
(1.0 in\2\ per foot of vessel diameter) or the width of any portion of 
any gap shall not exceed 1.27 cm (\1/2\ in). These seal gap requirements 
may be exceeded during the measurement of primary seal gaps as required 
by paragraph (b)(1)(i) or (b)(1)(ii) of this section.
    (C) There are to be no holes, tears, or other openings in the seal 
or seal fabric.
    (iii) If a failure that is detected during inspections required in 
this paragraph cannot be repaired within 45 days and if the vessel 
cannot be emptied within 45 days, an extension of up to 30 additional 
days may be requested from the Administrator in the inspection report 
required in Sec.61.275(d). Such extension request must include a

[[Page 183]]

demonstration of unavailability of alternate storage capacity and a 
specification of a schedule that will assure that the control equipment 
will be repaired or the vessel will be emptied as soon as possible.
    (5) The owner or operator shall notify the Administrator 30 days in 
advance of any gap measurements required by paragraph (b)(1) of this 
section to afford the Administrator the opportunity to have an observer 
present.
    (6) Visually inspect the external floating roof, the primary seal, 
secondary seal, and fittings each time the vessel is emptied and 
degassed.
    (i) If the external floating roof has defects, the primary seal has 
holes, tears, or other openings in the seal or the seal fabric, or the 
secondary seal has holes, tears, or other openings in the seal or the 
seal fabric, the owner or operator shall repair the items as necessary 
so that none of the conditions specified in this paragraph exist before 
filling or refilling the storage vessel with benzene.
    (ii) For all the inspections required by paragraph (b)(6) of this 
section, the owner or operator shall notify the Administrator in writing 
at least 30 days prior to filling or refilling of each storage vessel to 
afford the Administrator the opportunity to inspect the storage vessel 
prior to refilling. If the inspection required by paragraph (b)(6) of 
this section is not planned and the owner or operator could not have 
known about the inspection 30 days in advance of refilling the vessel, 
the owner or operator shall notify the Administrator at least 7 days 
prior to refilling of the storage vessel. Notification shall be made by 
telephone immediately followed by written documentation demonstrating 
why the inspection was unplanned. Alternatively, this notification 
including the written documentation may be made in writing and sent by 
express mail so that it is received by the Administrator at least 7 days 
prior to the refilling.
    (c) The owner or operator of each source that is equipped with a 
closed vent system and control device as required in Sec.60.271(c), 
other than a flare, shall meet the following requirements.
    (1) Within 90 days after initial fill or after September 14, 1989, 
whichever comes last, submit for approval by the Administrator, an 
operating plan containing the information listed below.
    (i) Documentation demonstrating that the control device being used 
achieves the required control efficiency during reasonably expected 
maximum loading conditions. This documentation is to include a 
description of the gas stream which enters the control device, including 
flow and benzene content under varying liquid level conditions (dynamic 
and static) and manufacturer's design specifications for the control 
device. If the control device or the closed vent capture system receives 
vapors, gases or liquids, other than fuels, from sources that are not 
designated sources under this subpart, the efficiency demonstration is 
to include consideration of all vapors, gases and liquids received by 
the closed vent capture system and control device. If an enclosed 
combustion device with a minimum residence time of 0.75 seconds and a 
minimum temperature of 816 [deg]C (1,500 [deg]F) is used to meet the 95 
percent requirement, documentation that those conditions exist is 
sufficient to meet the requirements of this paragraph.
    (ii) A description of the parameter or parameters to be monitored to 
ensure that the control device is operated and maintained in conformance 
with its design and an explanation of the criteria used for selection of 
that parameter (or parameters).
    (iii) A maintenance plan for the system including the type of 
maintenance necessary, planned frequency of maintenance, and lengths of 
maintenance periods for those operations that would require the closed 
vent system or the control device to be out of compliance with Sec.
61.271(c). The maintenance plan shall require that the system be out of 
compliance with Sec.61.271(c) for no more than 72 hours per year.
    (2) Operate, monitor the parameters, and maintain the closed vent 
system and control device in accordance with the operating plan 
submitted to the Administrator in accordance with paragraph (c)(1) of 
this section, unless the plan was modified by the Administrator during 
the approval process. In this case, the modified plan applies.

[[Page 184]]

    (d) The owner or operator of each source that is equipped with a 
closed vent system and a flare to meet the requirements in Sec.
61.271(c) shall meet the requirements as specified in the general 
control device requirements in 40 CFR 60.18 (e) and (f).

Sec.61.273  Alternative means of emission limitation.

    (a) Upon written application from any person, the Administrator may 
approve the use of alternative means of emission limitation which have 
been demonstrated to his satisfaction to achieve a reduction in benzene 
emissions at least equivalent to the reduction in emissions achieved by 
any requirement in Sec.61.271 (a), (b), or (c) of this subpart.
    (b) Determination of equivalence to the reduction in emissions 
achieved by the requirements of Sec.61.271 (a), (b), or (c) will be 
evaluated using the following information to be included in the written 
application to the Administrator:
    (1) Actual emissions tests that use full-size or scale-model storage 
vessels that accurately collect and measure all benzene emissions from a 
given control device, and that accurately simulate wind and account for 
other emission variables such as temperature and barometric pressure.
    (2) An engineering evaluation that the Administrator determines is 
an accurate method of determining equivalence.
    (c) The Administrator may condition approval of equivalency on 
requirements that may be necessary to ensure operation and maintenance 
to achieve the same emission reduction as the requirements of Sec.
61.271 (a), (b), or (c).
    (d) If, in the Administrator's judgment, an application for 
equivalence may be approvable, the Administrator will publish a notice 
of preliminary determination in the Federal Register and provide the 
opportunity for public hearing. After notice and opportunity for public 
hearing, the Administrator will determine the equivalence of the 
alternative means of emission limitation and will publish the final 
determination in the Federal Register.

61.271(c), with a control device other than a flare, this information 
may consist of the information required by Sec.61.272(c)(1).
    (b) The owner or operator of each storage vessel seeking to comply 
with Sec.61.271(c) with a flare, shall submit a report containing the 
measurements required by 40 CFR 60.18(f) (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), and 
(6). For the owner or operator of an existing storage vessel not seeking 
to obtain a waiver or a new storage vessel for which construction and 
operation commenced prior to September 14, 1989, this report shall be 
combined with the report required by paragraph (a) of this section. For 
the owner or operator of an existing storage vessel seeking to obtain a 
waiver, the reporting date will be established in the response to the 
waiver request. For the owner or operator of a new storage vessel for 
which construction or operation commenced after September 14, 1989, the 
report shall be submitted within 9O days of the date the vessel is 
initially filled (or partially filled) with benzene.

Sec.61.301  Definitions.

    As used in this subpart, all terms not defined herein shall have the 
meaning given them in the Act, or in subpart A or subpart V of part 61.
    Bulk terminal means any facility which receives liquid product 
containing benzene by pipelines, marine vessels, tank trucks, or 
railcars, and loads the product for further distribution into tank 
trucks, railcars, or marine vessels.
    Car-sealed means having a seal that is placed on the device used to 
change the position of a valve (e.g., from open to closed) such that the 
position of the

[[Page 188]]

valve cannot be changed without breaking the seal and requiring the 
replacement of the old seal, once broken, with a new seal.
    Control device means all equipment used for recovering or oxidizing 
benzene vapors displaced from the affected facility.
    Incinerator means any enclosed combustion device that is used for 
destroying organic compounds and that does not extract energy in the 
form of steam or process heat. These devices do not rely on the heating 
value of the waste gas to sustain efficient combustion. Auxiliary fuel 
is burned in the device and the heat from the fuel flame heats the waste 
gas to combustion temperature. Temperature is controlled by controlling 
combustion air or fuel.
    Leak means any instrument reading of 10,000 ppmv or greater using 
Method 21 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A.
    Loading cycle means the time period from the beginning of filling a 
tank truck, railcar, or marine vessel until flow to the control device 
ceases, as measured by the flow indicator.
    Loading rack means the loading arms, pumps, meters, shutoff valves, 
relief valves, and other piping and valves necessary to fill tank 
trucks, railcars, or marine vessels.
    Marine vessel means any tank ship or tank barge which transports 
liquid product such as benzene.
    Nonvapor tight means any tank truck, railcar, or marine vessel that 
does not pass the required vapor-tightness test.
    Process heater means a device that transfers heat liberated by 
burning fuel to fluids contained in tubes, except water that is heated 
to produce steam.
    Steam generating unit means any enclosed combustion device that uses 
fuel energy in the form of steam.
    Vapor collection system means any equipment located at the affected 
facility used for containing benzene vapors displaced during the loading 
of tank trucks, railcars, or marine vessels. This does not include the 
vapor collection system that is part of any tank truck, railcar, or 
marine vessel vapor collection manifold system.
    Vapor-tight marine vessel means a marine vessel with a benzene 
product tank that has been demonstrated within the preceding 12 months 
to have no leaks. This demonstration shall be made using Method 21 of 
part 60, appendix A, during the last 20 percent of loading and during a 
period when the vessel is being loaded at its maximum loading rate. A 
reading of greater than 10,000 ppm as methane shall constitute a leak. 
As an alternative, a marine vessel owner or operator may use the vapor-
tightness test described in Sec.61.304(f) to demonstrate vapor 
tightness. A marine vessel operated at negative pressure is assumed to 
be vapor-tight for the purpose of this standard.
    Vapor-tight tank truck or vapor-tight railcar means a tank truck or 
railcar for which it has been demonstrated within the preceding 12 
months that its product tank will sustain a pressure change of not more 
than 750 pascals within 5 minutes after it is pressurized to a minimum 
of 4,500 pascals. This capability is to be demonstrated using the 
pressure test procedure specified in Method 27 of appendix A to 40 CFR 
part 60, and a pressure measurement device which has a precision of 
2.5 mm water and which is capable of measuring 
above the pressure at which the tank truck or railcar is to be tested 
for vapor tightness.

using the following procedures:
    (1) The owner or operator shall obtain the vapor-tightness 
documentation described in Sec.61.305(h) for each tank truck or 
railcar loaded at the affected facility. The test date in the 
documentation must be within the preceding 12 months. The vapor-
tightness test to be used for tank trucks and railcars is Method 27 of 
appendix A to 40 CFR part 60.
    (2) The owner or operator shall cross-check the identification 
number for each tank truck or railcar to be loaded with the file of 
vapor-tightness documentation before the corresponding tank truck or 
railcar is loaded. If no documentation is on file, the owner or operator 
shall obtain a copy of the information from the tank truck or railcar 
operator before the tank truck or railcar is loaded.
    (3) Alternate procedures to those described in paragraphs (d)(1) and 
(d)(2) of this section may be used upon application to, and approval by, 
the Administrator.

applied to any potential sources of vapor leaks. A reading of 10,000 
ppmv or greater as methane shall constitute a leak.
    (i) The owner or operator of an affected facility shall obtain the 
leak test documentation described in Sec.61.305(h) for each marine 
vessel prior to loading, if available. The date of the test listed in 
the documentation must be within the 12 preceding months.
    (ii) If there is no documentation of a successful leak test 
conducted on the marine vessel in the preceding 12 months, the owner or 
operator of an affected facility shall require that a leak test of the 
marine vessel be conducted during the final 20 percent of loading of the 
marine vessel or shall not load the vessel. The test shall be conducted 
when the marine vessel is being loaded at the maximum allowable loading 
rate.
    (A) If no leak is detected, the owner or operator of an affected 
facility shall require that the documentation described in Sec.
61.305(h) is completed prior to departure of the vessel. The owner or 
operator of the affected facility shall retain a copy of the vapor-
tightness documentation on file.
    (B) If any leak is detected, the owner or operator of an affected 
facility shall require that the vapor-tightness failure be documented 
for the marine vessel owner or operator prior to departure of the 
vessel. The owner or operator of the affected facility shall retain a 
copy of the vapor-tightness documentation on file. Delay of repair of 
equipment for which leaks have been detected will be allowed if the 
repair is technically infeasible without dry-docking the vessel. This 
equipment will be excluded from future Method 21 of appendix A to 40 CFR 
part 60 tests until repairs are effected. Repair of this equipment shall 
occur the next time the vessel is dry-docked.
    (iii) If the marine vessel has failed its most recent vapor-
tightness test as described in Sec.61.302(e)(2)(ii), the owner or 
operator of the affected facility shall require that the owner or 
operator of the nonvapor-tight marine vessel provide documentation that 
the leaks detected during the previous vapor-tightness test have been 
repaired, or proof

[[Page 190]]

that repair is technically infeasible without dry-docking the vessel. 
Once the repair documentation has been provided, the owner or operator 
may load the marine vessel. The owner or operator shall require that the 
vapor-tightness test described in Sec.61.302(e)(2)(ii) be conducted 
during loading, and shall retain a copy of the vapor-tightness 
documentation on file.
    (3) The owner or operator of an affected facility shall obtain a 
copy of the marine vessel's vapor-tightness documentation described in 
Sec.61.305(h) for a test conducted within the preceding 12 months in 
accordance with Sec.61.304(f).
    (4) Alternate procedures to those described in paragraphs (e)(1), 
(e)(2) and (e)(3) of this section may be used upon application to, and 
approval by, the Administrator.

loading of benzene to tank trucks, railcars, and marine vessels equipped 
with vapor collection equipment that is compatible with the affected 
facility's vapor collection system.
    (g) The owner or operator of an affected facility shall limit 
loading of tank trucks, railcars, and marine vessels to tank trucks, 
railcars, and marine vessels whose collection systems are connected to 
the affected facility's vapor collection systems.
    (h) The owner or operator of an affected facility shall ensure that 
the vapor collection and benzene loading equipment of tank trucks and 
railcars shall be designed and operated to prevent gauge pressure in the 
tank truck or railcar tank from exceeding, during loading, the initial 
pressure the tank was pressured up to and shown to be vapor tight at 
during the most recent vapor-tightness test using Method 27 of appendix 
A to 40 CFR part 60. This vapor-tightness test pressure is not to be 
exceeded when measured by the procedures specified in Sec.61.304(c).
    (i) The owner or operator of an affected facility shall ensure that 
no pressure-vacuum vent in the affected facility's vapor collection 
system for tank trucks and railcars shall begin to open at a system 
pressure less than the maximum pressure at which the tank truck or 
railcar is operated.
    (j) The owner or operator of an affected facility shall ensure that 
the maximum normal operating pressure of the marine vessel's vapor 
collection equipment shall not exceed 0.8 times the relief set pressure 
of the pressure-vacuum vents. This level is not to be exceeded when 
measured by the procedures specified in Sec.61.304(d).
    (k) The owner or operator of an affected facility shall inspect the 
vapor collection system and the control device for detectable emissions, 
and shall repair any leaks detected, in accordance with Sec.61.242-11 
(e) and (f). This inspection of the vapor collection system and control 
device shall be done during the loading of tank trucks, railcars, or 
marine vessels.
    (l) Vent systems that contain valves that could divert a vent stream 
from a control device shall have car-sealed opened all valves in the 
vent system from the emission source to the control device, and car-
sealed closed all valves in the vent system that would lead the vent 
stream to the atmosphere, either directly or indirectly, bypassing the 
control device.

for all control devices other than flares is as follows:
    (1) All testing equipment shall be prepared and installed as 
specified in the appropriate test methods.
    (2) The time period for a performance test shall be not less than 6 
hours, during which at least 300,000 liters of benzene are loaded. If

shall be performed to determine visible emissions. The observation 
period shall be at least 2 hours. Performance testing shall be conducted 
during at least three complete loading cycles with a separate test run 
for each loading cycle. The observation period for detecting visible 
emissions shall encompass each loading cycle. Integrated sampling to 
measure process vent stream flow rate shall be performed continuously 
during each loading cycle.
    (c) For the purpose of determining compliance with Sec.61.302(h),

manometer, magnehelic gauge, or equivalent instrument), which has a 
precision of 2.5 mm H20 in the range 
that the tank truck or railcar was initially pressured to during the 
most recent vapor-tightness test.
    (2) Connect the pressure measurement device to a pressure tap in the 
affected facility's vapor collection system, located as close as 
possible to the connection with the tank truck or railcar.
    (3) During the performance test, record the pressure every 5 minutes 
while a tank truck or railcar is being loaded, and record the highest

maximum capacity.
    (d) For the purpose of determining compliance with Sec.61.302(j), 
the following procedures shall be used:
    (1) Calibrate and install a pressure measurement device (liquid 
manometer, magnehelic gauge, or equivalent instrument), capable of 
measuring up to the relief set pressure of the pressure-vacuum vents.
    (2) Connect the pressure measurement device to a pressure tap in the 
affected facility's vapor collection system, located as close as 
possible to the connection with the marine vessel.
    (3) During the performance test, record the pressure every 5 minutes 
while a marine vessel is being loaded, and record the highest

    (e) Immediately prior to a performance test required for 
determination of compliance with Sec.61.302(b), all potential sources 
of vapor leakage in the affected facility's vapor collection system 
equipment shall be inspected for detectable emissions as required in 
Sec.61.302(k). The monitoring shall be conducted only while a vapor-
tight tank truck, railcar, or marine vessel is being loaded. All 
identified leaks in the terminal's vapor collection system shall be 
repaired prior to conducting the performance test.

inert gas to not less than 1.0 psig and not more than the pressure of 
the lowest relief valve setting.
    (2) Once the pressure is obtained, the dry air or inert gas source 
shall be shut off.
    (3) At the end of one-half hour, the pressure in the benzene product 
tank and piping shall be measured. The change in pressure shall be 
calculated using the following formula:

[Delta] P = Pi--Pf

where:

[Delta] P = Change in pressure, inches of water.
Pi = Pressure in tank when air/gas source is shut off, inches 
          of water.
Pf = Pressure in tank at the end of one-half hour after air/
          gas source is shut off, inches of water.

    (4) The change in pressure, [Delta] P, shall be compared to the 
pressure drop calculated using the following formula:

[Delta] PM = 0.861 Pia L/V

where:

[Delta] PM = Maximum allowable pressure change, inches of water.
Pia = Pressure in tank when air/gas source is shut off, 
          pounds per square inch, absolute (psia).
L = Maximum permitted loading rate of vessel, barrels per hour.
V = Total volume of product tank, barrels.

    (5) If [Delta]P<=[Delta]PM, the vessel is vapor tight.
    (6) If [Delta]P[Delta]PM, the vessel is not vapor tight 
and the source of the leak must be identified and repaired prior to 
retesting.

Sec.61.342  Standards: General.

    (a) An owner or operator of a facility at which the total annual 
benzene quantity from facility waste is less than 10 megagrams per year 
(Mg/yr) (11 ton/yr) shall be exempt from the requirements of paragraphs 
(b) and (c) of this section. The total annual benzene quantity from 
facility waste is the sum of the annual benzene quantity for each waste 
stream at the facility that has a flow-weighted annual average water 
content greater than 10 percent or that is mixed with water, or other 
wastes, at any time and the mixture has an annual average water content 
greater than 10 percent. The benzene quantity in a waste stream is to be 
counted only once without multiple counting if other waste streams are 
mixed with or generated from the original waste stream. Other specific 
requirements for calculating the total annual benzene waste quantity are 
as follows:
    (1) Wastes that are exempted from control under Sec. Sec.
61.342(c)(2) and 61.342(c)(3) are included in the calculation of the 
total annual benzene quantity if they have an annual average water 
content greater than 10 percent, or if they are mixed with water or 
other wastes at any time and the mixture has an annual average water 
content greater than 10 percent.
    (2) The benzene in a material subject to this subpart that is sold 
is included in the calculation of the total annual benzene quantity if 
the material has an annual average water content greater than 10 
percent.
    (3) Benzene in wastes generated by remediation activities conducted 
at the facility, such as the excavation of contaminated soil, pumping 
and treatment of groundwater, and the recovery of product from soil or 
groundwater, are not included in the calculation of total annual benzene 
quantity for that facility. If the facility's total annual benzene 
quantity is 10 Mg/yr (11 ton/yr) or more, wastes generated by 
remediation activities are subject to the requirements of paragraphs (c) 
through (h) of this section. If the facility is managing remediation 
waste generated offsite, the benzene in this waste shall be included in 
the calculation of total annual benzene quantity in facility waste, if 
the waste streams have an annual average water content greater than 10 
percent, or if they are mixed with water or other wastes at any time and 
the mixture has an annual average water content greater than 10 percent.

[[Page 201]]

    (4) The total annual benzene quantity is determined based upon the 
quantity of benzene in the waste before any waste treatment occurs to 
remove the benzene except as specified in Sec.61.355(c)(1)(i) (A) 
through (C).
    (b) Each owner or operator of a facility at which the total annual 
benzene quantity from facility waste is equal to or greater than 10 Mg/
yr (11 ton/yr) as determined in paragraph (a) of this section shall be 
in compliance with the requirements of paragraphs (c) through (h) of 
this section no later than 90 days following the effective date, unless 
a waiver of compliance has been obtained under Sec.61.11, or by the 
initial startup for a new source with an initial startup after the 
effective date.
    (1) The owner or operator of an existing source unable to comply 
with the rule within the required time may request a waiver of 
compliance under Sec.61.10.
    (2) As part of the waiver application, the owner or operator shall 
submit to the Administrator a plan under Sec.61.10(b)(3) that is an 
enforceable commitment to obtain environmental benefits to mitigate the 
benzene emissions that result from extending the compliance date. The 
plan shall include the following information:
    (i) A description of the method of compliance, including the control 
approach, schedule for installing controls, and quantity of the benzene 
emissions that result from extending the compliance date;
    (ii) If the control approach involves a compliance strategy designed 
to obtain integrated compliance with multiple regulatory requirements, a 
description of the other regulations involved and their effective dates; 
and
    (iii) A description of the actions to be taken at the facility to 
obtain mitigating environmental benefits, including how the benefits 
will be obtained, the schedule for these actions, and an estimate of the 
quantifiable benefits that directly result from these actions.
    (c) Each owner or operator of a facility at which the total annual 
benzene quantity from facility waste is equal to or greater than 10 Mg/
yr (11 ton/yr) as determined in paragraph (a) of this section shall 
manage and treat the facility waste as follows:
    (1) For each waste stream that contains benzene, including (but not 
limited to) organic waste streams that contain less than 10 percent 
water and aqueous waste streams, even if the wastes are not discharged 
to an individual drain system, the owner or operator shall:
    (i) Remove or destroy the benzene contained in the waste using a 
treatment process or wastewater treatment system that complies with the 
standards specified in Sec.61.348 of this subpart.
    (ii) Comply with the standards specified in Sec. Sec.61.343 
through 61.347 of this subpart for each waste management unit that 
receives or manages the waste stream prior to and during treatment of 
the waste stream in accordance with paragraph (c)(1)(i) of this section.
    (iii) Each waste management unit used to manage or treat waste 
streams that will be recycled to a process shall comply with the 
standards specified in Sec. Sec.61.343 through 61.347. Once the waste 
stream is recycled to a process, including to a tank used for the 
storage of production process feed, product, or product intermediates, 
unless this tank is used primarily for the storage of wastes, the 
material is no longer subject to paragraph (c) of this section.
    (2) A waste stream is exempt from paragraph (c)(1) of this section 
provided that the owner or operator demonstrates initially and, 
thereafter, at least once per year that the flow-weighted annual average 
benzene concentration for the waste stream is less than 10 ppmw as 
determined by the procedures specified in Sec.61.355(c)(2) or Sec.
61.355(c)(3).
    (3) A waste stream is exempt from paragraph (c)(1) of this section 
provided that the owner or operator demonstrates initially and, 
thereafter, at least once per year that the conditions specified in 
either paragraph (c)(3)(i) or (c)(3)(ii) of this section are met.
    (i) The waste stream is process wastewater that has a flow rate less 
than 0.02 liters per minute (0.005 gallons per minute) or an annual 
wastewater quantity of less than 10 Mg/yr (11 ton/yr); or
    (ii) All of the following conditions are met:

for exemption in paragraph (c)(3)(ii) of this section does not exceed 
2.0 Mg/yr (2.2 ton/yr) as determined in the procedures in Sec.
61.355(j), and
    (C) The total annual benzene quantity in a waste stream chosen for 
exemption, including process unit turnaround waste, is determined for 
the year in which the waste is generated.
    (d) As an alternative to the requirements specified in paragraphs 
(c) and (e) of this section, an owner or operator of a facility at which 
the total annual benzene quantity from facility waste is equal to or 
greater than 10 Mg/yr (11 ton/yr) as determined in paragraph (a) of this 
section may elect to manage and treat the facility waste as follows:
    (1) The owner or operator shall manage and treat facility waste 
other than process wastewater in accordance with the requirements of

the process generating the waste that could cause the total annual 
benzene quantity from facility waste to increase to 10 Mg/yr (11 ton/yr) 
or more.
    (5) If the total annual benzene quantity from facility waste is less 
than 1 Mg/yr (1.1 ton/yr), then the owner or operator shall:
    (i) Comply with the recordkeeping requirements of Sec.61.356 and

otherwise excluded from the determination of total annual benzene 
quantity from facility waste in accordance with paragraphs (a) through 
(c) of this section. The benzene quantity in this waste stream shall not 
be annualized or averaged over the time interval between the activities 
that resulted in generation of the waste, for purposes of determining 
the total annual benzene quantity from facility waste.
    (b) For purposes of the calculation required by paragraph (a) of 
this section, an owner or operator shall determine the annual waste 
quantity at the point of waste generation, unless otherwise provided in

from offsite shall be made at the point where the waste enters the 
hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facility.
    (4) The determination of annual waste quantity for each process unit 
turnaround waste generated only at 2 year or greater intervals, may be 
made by dividing the total quantity of waste generated during the most 
recent process unit turnaround by the time period (in the nearest tenth 
of a year) between the turnaround resulting in generation of the waste 
and the most recent preceding process turnaround for the unit. The 
resulting annual waste quantity shall be included in the calculation of 
the annual benzene quantity as provided in paragraph (a)(1)(iii) of this 
section for the year in which the turnaround occurs and for each 
subsequent year until the unit undergoes the next process turnaround. 
For estimates of total annual benzene quantity as specified in the 90-
day report, required under Sec.61.357(a)(1), the owner or operator 
shall estimate the waste quantity generated during the most recent 
turnaround, and the time period between turnarounds in accordance with

    1.2 Applicability. This method is applicable for the determination 
of Hg emissions, including both particulate and gaseous Hg, from chlor-
alkali plants and other sources (as specified in the regulations) where 
the carrier-gas stream in the duct or stack is principally air.
    1.3 Data Quality Objectives. Adherence to the requirements of this 
method will enhance the quality of the data obtained from air pollutant 
sampling methods.

                          2.0 Summary of Method

    Particulate and gaseous Hg emissions are withdrawn isokinetically 
from the source and collected in acidic iodine monochloride (ICl) 
solution. The Hg collected (in the mercuric form) is reduced to 
elemental Hg, which is then aerated from the solution into an optical 
cell and measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry.

                       3.0 Definitions [Reserved]

                            4.0 Interferences

    4.1 Sample Collection. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) reduces ICl 
and causes premature depletion of the ICl solution.
    4.2 Sample Analysis.
    4.2.1 ICl concentrations greater than 10-4 molar inhibit 
the reduction of the Hg (II) ion in the aeration cell.
    4.2.2 Condensation of water vapor on the optical cell windows causes 
a positive interference.

severe damage to tissues. Vapors are highly irritating to eyes, skin, 
nose, and lungs, causing severe damage. May cause bronchitis, pneumonia, 
or edema of lungs. Exposure to concentrations of 0.13 to 0.2 percent can 
be lethal to humans in a few minutes. Provide ventilation to limit 
exposure. Reacts with metals, producing hydrogen gas.
    5.2.2 Nitric Acid (HNO3). Highly corrosive to eyes, skin, 
nose, and lungs. Vapors cause bronchitis, pneumonia, or edema of lungs. 
Reaction to inhalation may be delayed as long as 30 hours and still be 
fatal. Provide ventilation to limit exposure. Strong oxidizer. Hazardous 
reaction may occur with organic materials such as solvents.
    5.2.3 Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4). Rapidly 
destructive to body tissue. Will cause third degree burns. Eye damage 
may result in blindness. Inhalation may be fatal from spasm of the 
larynx, usually within 30 minutes. 3 mg/m\3\ will cause lung damage. 1 
mg/m\3\ for 8 hours will cause lung damage or, in higher concentrations, 
death. Provide ventilation to limit inhalation. Reacts violently with 
metals and organics.

    Because of the complexity of this method, testers should be trained 
and experienced with the test procedures to ensure reliable results. 
Since the amount of Hg that is collected generally is small, the method 
must be carefully applied to prevent contamination or loss of sample.
    8.1 Pretest Preparation. Follow the general procedure outlined in 
Method 5, Section 8.1, except omit Sections 8.1.2 and 8.1.3.
    8.2 Preliminary Determinations. Follow the general procedure 
outlined in Method 5, Section 8.2, with the exception of the following:
    8.2.1 Select a nozzle size based on the range of velocity heads to 
assure that it is not necessary to change the nozzle size in order to 
maintain isokinetic sampling rates below 28 liters/min (1.0 cfm).

[[Page 244]]

    8.2.2 Perform test runs such that samples are obtained over a period 
or periods that accurately determine the maximum emissions that occur in 
a 24-hour period. In the case of cyclic operations, run sufficient tests 
for the accurate determination of the emissions that occur over the 
duration of the cycle. A minimum sample time of 2 hours is recommended. 
In some instances, high Hg or high SO2 concentrations make it 
impossible to sample for the desired minimum time. This is indicated by 
reddening (liberation of free iodine) in the first impinger. In these 
cases, the sample run may be divided into two or more subruns to ensure 
that the absorbing solution is not depleted.
    8.3 Preparation of Sampling Train.
    8.3.1 Clean all glassware (probe, impingers, and connectors) by 
rinsing with 50 percent HNO3, tap water, 0.1 M ICl, tap 
water, and finally deionized distilled water. Place 100 ml of 0.1 M ICl 
in each of the first three impingers. Take care to prevent the absorbing 
solution from contacting any greased surfaces. Place approximately 200 g 
of preweighed silica gel in the fourth impinger. More silica gel may be 
used, but care should be taken to ensure that it is not entrained and 
carried out from the impinger during sampling. Place the silica gel 
container in a clean place for later use in the sample recovery. 
Alternatively, determine and record the weight of the silica gel plus 
impinger to the nearest 0.5 g.
    8.3.2 Install the selected nozzle using a Viton A O-ring when stack 
temperatures are less than 260 [deg]C (500 [deg]F). Use a fiberglass 
string gasket if temperatures are higher. See APTD-0576 (Reference 3 in 
Method 5) for details. Other connecting systems using either 316 
stainless steel or Teflon ferrules may be used. Mark the probe with 
heat-resistant tape or by some other method to denote the proper 
distance into the stack or duct for each sampling point.
    8.3.3 Assemble the train as shown in Figure 101-1, using (if 
necessary) a very light coat of silicone grease on all ground glass 
joints. Grease only the outer portion (see APTD-0576) to avoid the 
possibility of contamination by the silicone grease.

    Note: An empty impinger may be inserted between the third impinger 
and the silica gel to remove excess moisture from the sample stream.

    8.3.4 After the sampling train has been assembled, turn on and set 
the probe heating system, if applicable, at the desired operating 
temperature. Allow time for the temperatures to stabilize. Place crushed 
ice around the impingers.
    8.4 Leak-Check Procedures. Follow the leak-check procedures outlined 
in Method 5, Section 8.4.
    8.5 Sampling Train Operation. Follow the general procedure outlined 
in Method 5, Section 8.5. For each run, record the data required on a 
data sheet such as the one shown in Figure 101-4.
    8.6 Calculation of Percent Isokinetic. Same as Method 5, Section 
8.6.
    8.7 Sample Recovery. Begin proper cleanup procedure as soon as the 
probe is removed from the stack at the end of the sampling period.
    8.7.1 Allow the probe to cool. When it can be safely handled, wipe 
off any external particulate matter near the tip of the probe nozzle, 
and place a cap over it. Do not cap off the probe tip tightly while the 
sampling train is cooling. Capping would create a vacuum and draw liquid 
out from the impingers.
    8.7.2 Before moving the sampling train to the cleanup site, remove 
the probe from the train, wipe off the silicone grease, and cap the open 
outlet of the probe. Be careful not to lose any condensate that might be 
present. Wipe off the silicone grease from the impinger. Use either 
ground-glass stoppers, plastic caps, or serum caps to close these 
openings.
    8.7.3 Transfer the probe and impinger assembly to a cleanup area 
that is clean, protected from the wind, and free of Hg contamination. 
The ambient air in laboratories located in the immediate vicinity of Hg-
using facilities is not normally free of Hg contamination.
    8.7.4 Inspect the train before and during disassembly, and note any 
abnormal conditions. Treat the samples as follows.
    8.7.4.1 Container No. 1 (Impingers and Probe).
    8.7.4.1.1 Using a graduated cylinder, measure the liquid in the 
first three impingers to within 1 ml. Record the volume of liquid 
present (e.g., see Figure 5-6 of Method 5). This information is needed 
to calculate the moisture content of the effluent gas. (Use only glass 
storage bottles and graduated cylinders that have been precleaned as in 
Section 8.3.1) Place the contents of the first three impingers into a 
1000-ml glass sample bottle.
    8.7.4.1.2 Taking care that dust on the outside of the probe or other 
exterior surfaces does not get into the sample, quantitatively recover 
the Hg (and any condensate) from the probe nozzle, probe fitting, and 
probe liner as follows: Rinse these components with two 50-ml portions 
of 0.1 M ICl. Next, rinse the probe nozzle, fitting and liner, and each 
piece of connecting glassware between the probe liner and the back half 
of the third impinger with a maximum of 400 ml of water. Add all 
washings to the 1000-ml glass sample bottle containing the liquid from 
the first three impingers.
    8.7.4.1.3 After all washings have been collected in the sample 
container, tighten the lid on the container to prevent leakage during 
shipment to the laboratory. Mark the height of the liquid to determine 
later

[[Page 245]]

whether leakage occurred during transport. Label the container to 
identify clearly its contents.
    8.7.4.2 Container No. 2 (Silica Gel). Same as Method 5, Section 
8.7.6.3.
    8.7.4.3 Container No. 3 (Absorbing Solution Blank). Place 50 ml of 
the 0.1 M ICl absorbing solution in a 100-ml sample bottle. Seal the 
container. Use this blank to prepare the working Hg standard solution 
(Section 7.2.2.3).

    9.2 Volume Metering System Checks. Same as Method 5, Section 9.2.

                  10.0 Calibration and Standardizations

    Note: Maintain a laboratory log of all calibrations.
    10.1 Before use, clean all glassware, both new and used, as follows: 
brush with soap and tap water, liberally rinse with tap water, soak for 
1 hour in 50 percent HNO3, and then rinse with deionized 
distilled water.
    10.2 Sampling Equipment. Calibrate the sampling equipment according 
to the procedures outlined in the following sections of Method 5: 
Section 10.1 (Probe Nozzle), Section 10.2 (Pitot Tube Assembly), Section 
10.3 (Metering System), Section 10.5 (Temperature Sensors), Section 10.6 
(Barometer).
    10.3 Aeration System Flow Rate Meter. Assemble the aeration system 
as shown in Figure 101-5. Set the outlet pressure on the aeration gas 
cylinder regulator to a minimum pressure of 500 mm Hg (10 psi), and use 
the flow metering valve and a bubble flowmeter or wet-test meter to 
obtain a flow rate of 1.5 0.1 liters/min (0.053 
0.0035 cfm) through the aeration cell. After the 
calibration of the aeration system flow rate meter is complete, remove 
the bubble flowmeter from the system.
    10.4 Optical Cell Heating System. Using a 50-ml graduated cylinder, 
add 50 ml of water to the bottle section of the aeration cell, and 
attach the bottle section to the bubbler section of the cell. Attach the 
aeration cell to the optical cell and while aerating at 1.5 0.1 liters/min (0.053 0.0035 cfm), 
determine the minimum variable transformer setting necessary to prevent 
condensation of moisture in the optical cell and in the connecting 
tubing. (This setting should not exceed 20 volts.)
    10.5 Spectrophotometer and Recorder.
    10.5.1 The Hg response may be measured by either peak height or peak 
area.

    Note: The temperature of the solution affects the rate at which 
elemental Hg is released from a solution and, consequently, it affects 
the shape of the absorption curve (area) and the point of maximum 
absorbance (peak height). Therefore, to obtain reproducible results, 
bring all solutions to room temperature before use.

    10.5.2 Set the spectrophotometer wavelength at 253.7 nm, and make 
certain the optical cell is at the minimum temperature that will prevent 
water condensation. Then set the recorder scale as follows: Using a 50-
ml graduated cylinder, add 50 ml of water to the aeration cell bottle. 
Add three drops of Antifoam B to the bottle, and then pipet 5.0 ml of 
the working Hg standard solution into the aeration cell.

    Note: Always add the Hg-containing solution to the aeration cell 
after the 50 ml of water.

    10.5.3 Place a Teflon-coated stirring bar in the bottle. Before 
attaching the bottle section to the bubbler section of the aeration 
cell, make certain that (1) the aeration cell exit arm stopcock (Figure 
101-3) is closed (so that Hg will not prematurely enter the optical cell 
when the reducing agent is being added) and (2) there is no flow through 
the bubbler. If conditions (1) and (2) are met, attach the bottle 
section to the bubbler section of the aeration cell. Pipet 5 ml of tin 
(II) reducing solution into the aeration cell through the side arm, and 
immediately stopper the side arm. Stir the solution for 15 seconds, turn 
on the recorder, open the aeration cell exit arm stopcock, and 
immediately initiate aeration with continued stirring. Determine the 
maximum absorbance of the standard, and set this value to read 90 
percent of the recorder full scale.
    10.6 Calibration Curve.
    10.6.1 After setting the recorder scale, repeat the procedure in 
Section 10.5 using 0.0-, 1.0-, 2.0-, 3.0-, 4.0-, and 5.0-ml aliquots of 
the working standard solution (final amount of Hg in the aeration cell 
is 0, 200, 400, 600, 800, and 1000 ng, respectively). Repeat this 
procedure on each aliquot size until two consecutive peaks agree within 
3 percent of their average value.

    Note: To prevent Hg carryover from one sample to another, do not 
close the aeration

[[Page 246]]

cell from the optical cell until the recorder pen has returned to the 
baseline.)

    10.6.2 It should not be necessary to disconnect the aeration gas 
inlet line from the aeration cell when changing samples. After 
separating the bottle and bubbler sections of the aeration cell, place 
the bubbler section into a 600-ml beaker containing approximately 400 ml 
of water. Rinse the bottle section of the aeration cell with a stream of 
water to remove all traces of the tin (II) reducing agent. Also, to 
prevent the loss of Hg before aeration, remove all traces of the 
reducing agent between samples by washing with water. It will be 
necessary, however, to wash the aeration cell parts with concentrated 
HCl if any of the following conditions occur: (1) A white film appears 
on any inside surface of the aeration cell, (2) the calibration curve 
changes suddenly, or (3) the replicate samples do not yield reproducible 
results.
    10.6.3 Subtract the average peak height (or peak area) of the blank 
(0.0-ml aliquot)--which must be less than 2 percent of recorder full 
scale--from the averaged peak heights of the 1.0-, 2.0-, 3.0-, 4.0-, and 
5.0-ml aliquot standards. If the blank absorbance is greater than 2 
percent of full-scale, the probable cause is Hg contamination of a 
reagent or carry-over of Hg from a previous sample. Prepare the 
calibration curve by plotting the corrected peak height of each standard 
solution versus the corresponding final total Hg weight in the aeration 
cell (in ng), and draw the best fit straight line. This line should 
either pass through the origin or pass through a point no further from 
the origin than 2 percent of the recorder full 
scale. If the line does not pass through or very near to the origin, 
check for nonlinearity of the curve and for incorrectly prepared 
standards.

                        11.0 Analytical Procedure

    11.1 Sample Loss Check. Check the liquid level in each container to 
see whether liquid was lost during transport. If a noticeable amount of 
leakage occurred, either void the sample or use methods subject to the 
approval of the Administrator to account for the losses.
    11.2 Sample Preparation. Treat each sample as follows:
    11.2.1 Container No. 1 (Impingers and Probe). Carefully transfer the 
contents of Container No. 1 into a 1000-ml volumetric flask, and adjust 
the volume to exactly 1000 ml with water.
    11.2.2 Dilutions. Pipet a 2-ml aliquot from the diluted sample from 
Section 11.2.1 into a 250-ml volumetric flask. Add 10 ml of 5 percent 
H2SO4, and adjust the volume to exactly 250 ml 
with water. This solution is stable for at least 72 hours.

    Note: The dilution factor will be 250/2 for this solution.

    11.3 Analysis. Calibrate the analytical equipment and develop a 
calibration curve as outlined in Sections 10.3 through 10.6.
    11.3.1 Mercury Samples. Repeat the procedure used to establish the 
calibration curve with an appropriately sized aliquot (1 to 5 ml) of the 
diluted sample (from Section 11.2.2) until two consecutive peak heights 
agree within 3 percent of their average value. The peak maximum of an 
aliquot (except the 5-ml aliquot) must be greater than 10 percent of the 
recorder full scale. If the peak maximum of a 1.0-ml aliquot is off 
scale on the recorder, further dilute the original source sample to 
bring the Hg concentration into the calibration range of the 
spectrophotometer.
    11.3.2 Run a blank and standard at least after every five samples to 
check the spectrophotometer calibration. The peak height of the blank 
must pass through a point no further from the origin than 2 percent of the recorder full scale. The difference 
between the measured concentration of the standard (the product of the 
corrected peak height and the reciprocal of the least squares slope) and 
the actual concentration of the standard must be less than 7 percent, or 
recalibration of the analyzer is required.
    11.3.3 Check for Matrix Effects (optional). Use the Method of 
Standard Additions as follows to check at least one sample from each 
source for matrix effects on the Hg results. The Method of Standard 
Additions procedures described on pages 9-4 and 9-5 of the section 
entitled ``General Information'' of the Perkin Elmer Corporation Atomic 
Absorption Spectrophotometry Manual, Number 303-0152 (Reference 16 in 
Section 16.0) are recommended. If the results of the Method of Standard 
Additions procedure used on the single source sample do not agree to 
within 5 percent of the value obtained by the 
routine atomic absorption analysis, then reanalyze all samples from the 
source using the Method of Standard Additions procedure.
    11.4 Container No. 2 (Silica Gel). Weigh the spent silica gel (or 
silica gel plus impinger) to the nearest 0.5 g using a balance. (This 
step may be conducted in the field.)

                   12.0 Data Analysis and Calculations

    Carry out calculations, retaining at least one extra decimal 
significant figure beyond that of the acquired data. Round off figures 
only after the final calculation. Other forms of the equations may be 
used as long as they give equivalent results.
    12.1 Average Dry Gas Meter Temperature and Average Orifice Pressure 
Drop, Dry Gas Volume, Volume of Water Vapor Condensed, Moisture Content, 
and Isokinetic Variation. Same as Method 5, Sections 12.2 through 12.5 
and 12.11, respectively.
    12.2 Stack Gas Velocity. Using the data from this test and Equation 
2-9 of Method 2, calculate the average stack gas velocity vs.

[[Page 247]]

    12.3 Total Mercury.
    12.3.1 For each source sample, correct the average maximum 
absorbance of the two consecutive samples whose peak heights agree 
within 3 percent of their average for the contribution of the solution 
blank (see Section 10.6.3). Use the calibration curve and these 
corrected averages to determine the final total weight of Hg in ng in 
the aeration cell for each source sample.
    12.3.2 Correct for any dilutions made to bring the sample into the 
working range of the spectrophotometer. Then calculate the Hg in the 
original solution, mHg, as follows:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR17OC00.491

Where:

CHg(AC) = Total ng of Hg in aliquot analyzed (reagent blank 
          subtracted).
DF = Dilution factor for the Hg-containing solution (before adding to 
          the aeration cell; e.g., DF = 250/2 if the source samples were 
          diluted as described in Section 11.2.2).
Vf = Solution volume of original sample, 1000 ml for samples 
          diluted as described in Section 11.2.1.
10-3 = Conversion factor, [micro]g/ng.
S = Aliquot volume added to aeration cell, ml.

    12.4 Mercury Emission Rate. Calculate the daily Hg emission rate, R, 
using Equation 101-2. For continuous operations, the operating time is 
equal to 86,400 seconds per day. For cyclic operations, use only the 
time per day each stack is in operation. The total Hg emission rate from 
a source will be the summation of results from all stacks.
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR17OC00.492

Where:

K1 = 0.3858 [deg]K/mm Hg for metric units.
K1 = 17.64 [deg]R/in. Hg for English units.
K3 = 10-6 g/[micro]g for metric units.
     = 2.2046 `` x 10-9 lb/[micro]g for English units.
Ps = Absolute stack gas pressure, mm Hg (in. Hg).
t = Daily operating time, sec/day.
Ts = Absolute average stack gas temperature, [deg]K ([deg]R).
Vm(std) = Dry gas sample volume at standard conditions, scm 
          (scf).
Vw(std) = Volume of water vapor at standard conditions, scm 
          (scf).

    12.5 Determination of Compliance. Each performance test consists of 
three repetitions of the applicable test method. For the purpose of 
determining compliance with an applicable national emission standard, 
use the average of the results of all repetitions.

                         13.0 Method Performance

    The following estimates are based on collaborative tests, wherein 13 
laboratories performed duplicate analyses on two Hg-containing samples 
from a chlor-alkali plant and on one laboratory-prepared sample of known 
Hg concentration. The sample concentrations ranged from 2 to 65 [micro]g 
Hg/ml.
    13.1 Precision. The estimated intra-laboratory and inter-laboratory 
standard deviations are 1.6 and 1.8 [micro]g Hg/ml, respectively.
    13.2 Accuracy. The participating laboratories that analyzed a 64.3 
[micro]g Hg/ml (in 0.1 M ICl) standard obtained a mean of 63.7 [micro]g 
Hg/ml.
    13.3 Analytical Range. After initial dilution, the range of this 
method is 0.5 to 120 [micro]g Hg/ml. The upper limit can be extended by 
further dilution of the sample.

    1.2 Applicability. This method is applicable for the determination 
of Hg emissions from sewage sludge incinerators and other sources as 
specified in an applicable subpart of the regulations.
    1.3 Data Quality Objectives. Adherence to the requirements of this 
method will enhance the quality of the data obtained from air pollutant 
sampling methods.

                          2.0 Summary of Method

    2.1 Particulate and gaseous Hg emissions are withdrawn 
isokinetically from the source and are collected in acidic potassium 
permanganate (KMnO4) solution. The Hg collected (in the 
mercuric form) is reduced to elemental Hg, which is then aerated from 
the solution into an optical cell and measured by atomic absorption 
spectrophotometry.

                            4.0 Interferences

    4.1 Sample Collection. Excessive oxidizable organic matter in the 
stack gas prematurely depletes the KMnO4 solution and thereby 
prevents further collection of Hg.
    4.2 Analysis. Condensation of water vapor on the optical cell 
windows causes a positive interference.

                               5.0 Safety

    5.1 Disclaimer. This method may involve hazardous materials, 
operations, and equipment. This test method may not address all of the 
safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the 
user of this test method to establish appropriate safety and health 
practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations 
prior to performing this test method.
    5.2 Corrosive Reagents. The following reagents are hazardous. 
Personal protective equipment and safe procedures are useful in 
preventing chemical splashes. If contact occurs, immediately flush with 
copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove clothing under 
shower and decontaminate. Treat residual chemical burns as thermal 
burns.
    5.2.1 Hydrochloric Acid (HCl). Highly toxic. Vapors are highly 
irritating to eyes, skin, nose, and lungs, causing severe damage. May 
cause bronchitis, pneumonia, or edema of lungs. Exposure to 
concentrations of 0.13 to 0.2 percent can be lethal to humans in a few 
minutes. Provide ventilation to limit exposure. Reacts with metals, 
producing hydrogen gas.
    5.2.2 Nitric Acid (HNO3). Highly corrosive to eyes, skin, 
nose, and lungs. Vapors cause bronchitis, pneumonia, or edema of lungs. 
Reaction to inhalation may be delayed as long as 30 hours and still be 
fatal. Provide ventilation to limit exposure. Strong oxidizer. Hazardous 
reaction may occur with organic materials such as solvents.
    5.2.3 Sulfuric acid (H2SO4). Rapidly 
destructive to body tissue. Will cause third degree burns. Eye damage 
may result in blindness. Inhalation may be fatal from spasm of the 
larynx, usually within 30 minutes. May cause lung tissue damage with 
edema. 3 mg/m\3\ will cause lung damage in uninitiated. 1 mg/m\3\ for 8 
hours will cause lung damage or, in higher concentrations, death. 
Provide ventilation to limit inhalation. Reacts violently with metals 
and organics.
    5.3 Chlorine Evolution. Hydrochloric acid reacts with 
KMnO4 to liberate chlorine gas. Although this is a minimal 
concern when small quantities of HCl (5-10 ml) are used in the impinger 
rinse, a potential safety hazard may still exist. At sources that emit 
higher concentrations of oxidizable materials (e.g., power plants), more 
HCl may be required to remove the larger amounts of brown deposit formed 
in the impingers. In such cases, the potential safety hazards due to 
sample container pressurization are greater, because of the larger 
volume of HCl rinse added to the recovered sample. These hazards are 
eliminated by storing and analyzing the HCl impinger wash separately 
from the permanganate impinger sample.

                       6.0 Equipment and Supplies

    6.1 Sample Collection and Sample Recovery. Same as Method 101, 
Sections 6.1 and 6.2, respectively, with the following exceptions:
    6.1.1 Probe Liner. Same as in Method 101, Section 6.1.2, except that 
if a filter is used ahead of the impingers, the probe heating system 
must be used to minimize the condensation of gaseous Hg.
    6.1.2 Filter Holder (Optional). Borosilicate glass with a rigid 
stainless-steel wire-screen filter support (do not use glass frit 
supports) and a silicone rubber or Teflon gasket, designed to provide a 
positive seal against leakage from outside or around the filter. The 
filter holder must be equipped with a filter heating system capable of 
maintaining a temperature around the filter holder of 120 14 [deg]C (248 25 [deg]F) during 
sampling to minimize both water and gaseous Hg condensation. A filter 
may also be used in cases where the stream contains large quantities of 
particulate matter.

    6.2.4 Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer or Equivalent. Any atomic 
absorption unit with an open sample presentation area in which to mount 
the optical cell is suitable. Instrument settings recommended by the 
particular manufacturer should be followed. Instruments designed 
specifically for the measurement of mercury using the cold-vapor 
technique are commercially available and may be substituted for the 
atomic absorption spectrophotometer.
    6.2.5 Optical Cell. Alternatively, a heat lamp mounted above the 
cell or a moisture trap installed upstream of the cell may be used.

bottles to prevent degradation.
    7.1.7 Hydrochloric Acid, 8 N. Carefully add and mix 67 ml of 
concentrated HCl to 33 ml of water.
    7.2 Sample Analysis. The following reagents and standards are 
required for sample analysis:
    7.2.1 Water. Same as in Section 7.1.1.
    7.2.2 Tin (II) Solution. Prepare fresh daily, and keep sealed when 
not being used. Completely dissolve 20 g of tin (II) chloride (or 25 g 
of tin (II) sulfate) crystals (Baker Analyzed reagent grade or any other 
brand that will give a clear solution) in 25 ml of concentrated HCl. 
Dilute to 250 ml with water. Do not substitute HNO3 
H2SO4, or other strong acids for the HCl.

concentrated HNO3, and adjust the volume to exactly 100 ml 
with water. Mix thoroughly. This solution is stable for at least one 
month.
    7.2.8 Intermediate Hg Standard Solution, 10 [micro]g/ml. Prepare 
fresh weekly. Pipet 5.0 ml of the Hg stock solution (Section 7.2.7) into 
a 500 ml volumetric flask, and add 20 ml of 15 percent HNO3 
solution. Adjust the volume to exactly 500 ml with water. Thoroughly mix 
the solution.
    7.2.9 Working Hg Standard Solution, 200 ng Hg/ml. Prepare fresh 
daily. Pipet 5.0 ml from the ``Intermediate Hg Standard Solution'' 
(Section 7.2.8) into a 250-ml volumetric flask. Add 5 ml of 4 percent 
KMnO4 absorbing solution and 5 ml of 15 percent 
HNO3. Adjust the volume to exactly 250 ml with water. Mix 
thoroughly.

KMnO4 in water and dilute to 100 ml.
    7.2.11 Filter. Whatman No. 40, or equivalent.

       8.0 Sample Collection, Preservation, Transport, and Storage

    Same as Method 101, Section 8.0, with the exception of the 
following:
    8.1 Preliminary Determinations. Same as Method 101, Section 8.2, 
except that the liberation of free iodine in the first impinger

[[Page 256]]

due to high Hg or sulfur dioxide concentrations is not applicable. In 
this method, high oxidizable organic content may make it impossible to 
sample for the desired minimum time. This problem is indicated by the 
complete bleaching of the purple color of the KMnO4 solution. 
In cases where an excess of water condensation is encountered, collect 
two runs to make one sample, or add an extra impinger in front of the 
first impinger (also containing acidified KMnO4 solution).
    8.2 Preparation of Sampling Train. Same as Method 101, Section 8.3, 
with the exception of the following:
    8.2.1 In this method, clean all the glass components by rinsing with 
50 percent HNO3, tap water, 8 N HCl, tap water, and finally 
with deionized distilled water. Then place 50 ml of absorbing solution 
in the first impinger and 100 ml in each of the second and third 
impingers.
    8.2.2 If a filter is used, use a pair of tweezers to place the 
filter in the filter holder. Be sure to center the filter, and place the 
gasket in the proper position to prevent the sample gas stream from 
bypassing the filter. Check the filter for tears after assembly is 
completed. Be sure also to set the filter heating system at the desired 
operating temperature after the sampling train has been assembled.
    8.3 Sampling Train Operation. In addition to the procedure outlined 
in Method 101, Section 8.5, maintain a temperature around the filter (if 
applicable) of 120 14 [deg]C (248 25 [deg]F).
    8.4 Sample Recovery. Same as Method 101, Section 8.7, with the 
exception of the following:
    8.4.1 Transfer the probe, impinger assembly, and (if applicable) 
filter assembly to the cleanup area.
    8.4.2 Treat the sample as follows:
    8.4.2.1 Container No. 1 (Impinger, Probe, and Filter Holder) and, if 
applicable, Container No. 1A (HCl rinse).
    8.4.2.1.1 Using a graduated cylinder, measure the liquid in the 
first three impingers to within 1 ml. Record the volume of liquid 
present (e.g., see Figure 5-6 of Method 5). This information is needed 
to calculate the moisture content of the effluent gas. (Use only 
graduated cylinder and glass storage bottles that have been precleaned 
as in Section 8.2.1.) Place the contents of the first three impingers 
(four if an extra impinger was added as described in Section 8.1) into a 
1000-ml glass sample bottle labeled Container No. 1.

    Note: If a filter is used, remove the filter from its holder as 
outlined under Section 8.4.3.

    8.4.2.1.2 Taking care that dust on the outside of the probe or other 
exterior surfaces does not get into the sample, quantitatively recover 
the Hg (and any condensate) from the probe nozzle, probe fitting, probe 
liner, front half of the filter holder (if applicable), and impingers as 
follows: Rinse these components with a total of 400 ml (350 ml if an 
extra impinger was added as described in Section 8.1) of fresh absorbing 
solution, carefully assuring removal of all loose particulate matter 
from the impingers; add all washings to the 1000 ml glass sample bottle. 
To remove any residual brown deposits on the glassware following the 
permanganate rinse, rinse with approximately 100 ml of water, carefully 
assuring removal of all loose particulate matter from the impingers. Add 
this rinse to Container No. 1.
    8.4.2.1.3 If no visible deposits remain after this water rinse, do 
not rinse with 8 N HCl. If deposits do remain on the glassware after the 
water rinse, wash impinger walls and stems with 25 ml of 8 N HCl, and 
place the wash in a separate container labeled Container No. 1A as 
follows: Place 200 ml of water in a sample container labeled Container 
No. 1A. Wash the impinger walls and stem with the HCl by turning the 
impinger on its side and rotating it so that the HCl contacts all inside 
surfaces. Pour the HCl wash carefully with stirring into Container No. 
1A.
    8.4.2.1.4 After all washings have been collected in the appropriate 
sample container(s), tighten the lid(s) on the container(s) to prevent 
leakage during shipment to the laboratory. Mark the height of the fluid 
level to allow subsequent determination of whether leakage has occurred 
during transport. Label each container to identify its contents clearly.
    8.4.3 Container No. 2 (Silica Gel). Same as Method 5, Section 
8.7.6.3.
    8.4.4 Container No. 3 (Filter). If a filter was used, carefully 
remove it from the filter holder, place it in a 100-ml glass sample 
bottle, and add 20 to 40 ml of absorbing solution. If it is necessary to 
fold the filter, be sure that the particulate cake is inside the fold. 
Carefully transfer to the 100-ml sample bottle any particulate matter 
and filter fibers that adhere to the filter holder gasket by using a dry 
Nylon bristle brush and a sharp-edged blade. Seal the container. Label 
the container to identify its contents clearly. Mark the height of the 
fluid level to allow subsequent determination of whether leakage has 
occurred during transport.
    8.4.5 Container No. 4 (Filter Blank). If a filter was used, treat an 
unused filter from the same filter lot as that used for sampling 
according to the procedures outlined in Section 8.4.4.
    8.4.6 Container No. 5 (Absorbing Solution Blank). Place 650 ml of 4 
percent KMnO4 absorbing solution in a 1000-ml sample bottle. 
Seal the container.
    8.4.7 Container No. 6 (HCl Rinse Blank). Place 200 ml of water in a 
1000-ml sample bottle, and add 25 ml of 8 N HCl carefully

[[Page 257]]

with stirring. Seal the container. Only one blank sample per 3 runs is 
required.

    9.2 Volume Metering System Checks. Same as Method 5, Section 9.2.

                  10.0 Calibration and Standardization

    Same as Method 101, Section 10.0, with the following exceptions:
    10.1 Optical Cell Heating System Calibration. Same as in Method 101, 
Section 10.4, except use a-25 ml graduated cylinder to add 25 ml of 
water to the bottle section of the aeration cell.
    10.2 Spectrophotometer and Recorder Calibration.
    10.2.1 The Hg response may be measured by either peak height or peak 
area.

    Note: The temperature of the solution affects the rate at which 
elemental Hg is released from a solution and, consequently, it affects 
the shape of the absorption curve (area) and the point of maximum 
absorbance (peak height). To obtain reproducible results, all solutions 
must be brought to room temperature before use.

    10.2.2 Set the spectrophotometer wave length at 253.7 nm, and make 
certain the optical cell is at the minimum temperature that will prevent 
water condensation. Then set the recorder scale as follows: Using a 25-
ml graduated cylinder, add 25 ml of water to the aeration cell bottle. 
Add three drops of Antifoam B to the bottle, and then pipet 5.0 ml of 
the working Hg standard solution into the aeration cell.

    Note: Always add the Hg-containing solution to the aeration cell 
after the 25 ml of water.

    10.2.3 Place a Teflon-coated stirring bar in the bottle. Add 5 ml of 
absorbing solution to the aeration bottle, and mix well. Before 
attaching the bottle section to the bubbler section of the aeration 
cell, make certain that (1) the aeration cell exit arm stopcock (Figure 
101-3 of Method 101) is closed (so that Hg will not prematurely enter 
the optical cell when the reducing agent is being added) and (2) there 
is no flow through the bubbler. If conditions (1) and (2) are met, 
attach the bottle section to the bubbler section of the aeration cell. 
Add sodium chloride-hydroxylamine in 1 ml increments until the solution 
is colorless. Now add 5 ml of tin (II) solution to the aeration bottle 
through the side arm, and immediately stopper the side arm. Stir the 
solution for 15 seconds, turn on the recorder, open the aeration cell 
exit arm stopcock, and immediately initiate aeration with continued 
stirring. Determine the maximum absorbance of the standard, and set this 
value to read 90 percent of the recorder full scale.

                        11.0 Analytical Procedure

    11.1 Sample Loss Check. Check the liquid level in each container to 
see if liquid was lost during transport. If a noticeable amount of 
leakage occurred, either void the sample or use methods subject to the 
approval of the Administrator to account for the losses.
    11.2 Sample Preparation. Treat sample containers as follows:
    11.2.1 Containers No. 3 and No. 4 (Filter and Filter Blank).
    11.2.1.1 If a filter is used, place the contents, including the 
filter, of Containers No. 3 and No. 4 in separate 250-ml beakers, and 
heat the beakers on a steam bath until most of the liquid has 
evaporated. Do not heat to dryness. Add 20 ml of concentrated 
HNO3 to the beakers, cover them with a watch glass, and heat 
on a hot plate at 70 [deg]C (160 [deg]F) for 2 hours. Remove from the 
hot plate.
    11.2.1.2 Filter the solution from digestion of the Container No. 3 
contents through Whatman No. 40 filter paper, and save the filtrate for 
addition to the Container No. 1 filtrate as described in Section 11.2.2. 
Discard the filter paper.
    11.2.1.3 Filter the solution from digestion of the Container No. 4 
contents through Whatman No. 40 filter paper, and save the filtrate for 
addition to Container No. 5 filtrate as described in Section 11.2.3 
below. Discard the filter paper.
    11.2.2 Container No. 1 (Impingers, Probe, and Filter Holder) and, if 
applicable, No. 1A (HCl rinse).
    11.2.2.1 Filter the contents of Container No. 1 through Whatman No. 
40 filter paper into a 1 liter volumetric flask to remove the brown 
manganese dioxide (MnO2) precipitate. Save the filter for 
digestion of the brown MnO2 precipitate. Add the sample 
filtrate from Container No. 3 to the 1-liter volumetric flask, and 
dilute to volume with water. If the combined filtrates are greater than 
1000 ml, determine the volume to the

[[Page 258]]

nearest ml and make the appropriate corrections for blank subtractions. 
Mix thoroughly. Mark the filtrate as analysis Sample No. A.1 and analyze 
for Hg within 48 hr of the filtration step. Place the saved filter, 
which was used to remove the brown MnO2 precipitate, into an 
appropriate sized container. In a laboratory hood, add 25 ml of 8 N HCl 
to the filter and allow to digest for a minimum of 24 hours at room 
temperature.
    11.2.2.2 Filter the contents of Container 1A through Whatman No. 40 
filter paper into a 500-ml volumetric flask. Then filter the digestate 
of the brown MnO2 precipitate from Container No. 1 through 
Whatman No. 40 filter paper into the same 500-ml volumetric flask, and 
dilute to volume with water. Mark this combined 500 ml dilute solution 
as analysis Sample No. A.2. Discard the filters.
    11.2.3 Container No. 5 (Absorbing Solution Blank) and No. 6 (HCl 
Rinse Blank).
    11.2.3.1 Treat Container No. 5 as Container No. 1 (as described in 
Section 11.2.2), except substitute the filter blank filtrate from 
Container No. 4 for the sample filtrate from Container No. 3, and mark 
as Sample A.1 Blank.
    11.2.3.2 Treat Container No. 6 as Container No. 1A, (as described in 
Section 11.2.2, except substitute the filtrate from the digested blank 
MnO2 precipitate for the filtrate from the digested sample 
MnO2 precipitate, and mark as Sample No. A.2 Blank.

    Note: When analyzing samples A.1 Blank and HCl A.2 Blank, always 
begin with 10 ml aliquots. This applies specifically to blank samples.

    11.3 Analysis. Calibrate the analytical equipment and develop a 
calibration curve as outlined in Section 10.0.
    11.3.1 Mercury Samples. Then repeat the procedure used to establish 
the calibration curve with appropriately sized aliquots (1 to 10 ml) of 
the samples (from Sections 11.2.2 and 11.2.3) until two consecutive peak 
heights agree within 3 percent of their average value. If the 10 ml 
sample is below the detectable limit, use a larger aliquot (up to 20 
ml), but decrease the volume of water added to the aeration cell 
accordingly to prevent the solution volume from exceeding the capacity 
of the aeration bottle. If the peak maximum of a 1.0 ml aliquot is off 
scale, further dilute the original sample to bring the Hg concentration 
into the calibration range of the spectrophotometer. If the Hg content 
of the absorbing solution and filter blank is below the working range of 
the analytical method, use zero for the blank.
    11.3.2 Run a blank and standard at least after every five samples to 
check the spectrophotometer calibration; recalibrate as necessary.
    11.3.3 Check for Matrix Effects (optional). Same as Method 101, 
Section 11.3.3.

                   12.0 Data Analysis and Calculations

    Note: This dilution factor applies only to the intermediate dilution 
steps, since the original sample volume [(Vf)HCL] 
of ``HCl A.2'' has been factored out in the equation along with the 
sample aliquot (S). In Eq. 101A-1, the sample aliquot, S, is introduced 
directly into the aeration cell for analysis according to the procedure 
outlined in Section 11.3.1. A dilution factor is required only if it is 
necessary to bring the sample into the analytical instrument's 
calibration range.
    Note: The maximum allowable blank subtraction for the HCl is the 
lesser of the two following values: (1) the actual blank measured value 
(analysis Sample No. HCl A.2 blank), or (2) 5% of the Hg content in the 
combined HCl rinse and digested sample (analysis Sample No. HCl A.2).

(analysis Sample No. ``A.1 blank''), or (2) 5% of the Hg content in the 
filtrate (analysis Sample No. ``A.1'').

    16.1.1 Inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-
AES) may be used as an alternative to atomic absorption analysis 
provided the following conditions are met:
    16.1.1.1 Sample collection, sample preparation, and analytical 
preparation procedures are as defined in the method except as necessary 
for the ICP-AES application.
    16.1.1.2 The quality control procedures are conducted as prescribed.
    16.1.1.3 The limit of quantitation for the ICP-AES must be 
demonstrated and the sample concentrations reported should be no less 
than two times the limit of quantitation. The limit of quantitation is 
defined as ten times the standard deviation of the blank value. The 
standard deviation of the blank value is determined from the analysis of 
seven blanks. It has been reported that for mercury and those elements 
that form hydrides, a continuous-flow generator coupled to an ICP-AES 
offers detection limits comparable to cold vapor atomic absorption.
    16.1.2 Samples may also be analyzed by cold vapor atomic 
fluorescence spectrometry.

equipment and supplies) and procedures (e.g., sampling and analytical) 
essential to its performance. Some material is incorporated by reference 
from other methods in this part and in appendix A to 40 CFR part 60.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    1.2 Applicability. This method is applicable for the determination 
of Hg emissions, including both particulate and gaseous Hg, from chlor-
alkali plants and other sources (as specified in the regulations) where 
the carrier-gas stream in the duct or stack is principally hydrogen.
    1.3 Data Quality Objectives. Adherence to the requirements of this 
method will enhance the quality of the data obtained from air pollutant 
sampling methods.

                          2.0 Summary of Method

    2.1 Particulate and gaseous Hg emissions are withdrawn 
isokinetically from the source and collected in acidic iodine 
monochloride (ICl) solution. The Hg collected (in the mercuric form) is 
reduced to elemental Hg, which is then aerated from the solution into an 
optical cell and measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry.

                               5.0 Safety

    5.1 Disclaimer. This method may involve hazardous materials, 
operations, and equipment. This test method may not address all of the 
safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the 
user of this test method to establish appropriate safety and health 
practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations 
prior to performing this test method.
    5.2 Corrosive Reagents. Same as Method 101, Section 5.2.
    5.3 Explosive Mixtures. The sampler must conduct the source test 
under conditions of utmost safety because hydrogen and air mixtures are 
explosive. Since the sampling train essentially is leakless, attention 
to safe operation can be concentrated at the inlet and outlet. If a leak 
does occur, however, remove the meter box cover to avoid a possible 
explosive mixture. The following specific precautions are recommended:
    5.3.1 Operate only the vacuum pump during the test. The other 
electrical equipment, e.g., heaters, fans, and timers, normally are not 
essential to the success of a hydrogen stream test.
    5.3.2 Seal the sample port to minimize leakage of hydrogen from the 
stack.
    5.3.3 Vent sampled hydrogen at least 3 m (10 ft) away from the 
train. This can be accomplished by attaching a 13-mm (0.50-in.) ID Tygon 
tube to the exhaust from the orifice meter.

    Note: A smaller ID tubing may cause the orifice meter calibration to 
be erroneous. Take care to ensure that the exhaust line is not bent or 
pinched.

       8.0 Sample Collection, Preservation, Transport, and Storage

    Same as Method 101, Section 8.0, with the exception of the 
following:
    8.1 Setting of Isokinetic Rates.
    8.1.1 If a nomograph is used, take special care in the calculation 
of the molecular weight of the stack gas and in the setting of the 
nomograph to maintain isokinetic conditions during sampling (Sections 
8.1.1.1 through 8.1.1.3 below).
    8.1.1.1 Calibrate the meter box orifice. Use the techniques 
described in APTD-0576 (see Reference 9 in Section 17.0 of Method 5 of 
appendix A to part 60). Calibration of the orifice meter at flow 
conditions that simulate the conditions at the source is suggested. 
Calibration should either be done with hydrogen or with some other gas 
having a similar Reynolds Number so that there is similarity between the 
Reynolds Numbers during calibration and during sampling. Alternative 
mercury-free thermometers may be used if the thermometers are, at a 
minimum, equivalent in terms of performance or suitably effective for 
the specific temperature measurement application.
    8.1.1.2 The nomograph described in APTD-0576 cannot be used to 
calculate the C factor because the nomograph is designed for use when 
the stack gas dry molecular weight is 29 4. 
Instead, the following calculation should be made to determine the 
proper C factor:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR17OC00.501

Where:

Bws = Fraction by volume of water vapor in the stack gas.
Cp = Pitot tube calibration coefficient, dimensionless.
Md = Dry molecular weight of stack gas, lb/lb-mole.
Ps = Absolute pressure of stack gas, in. Hg.
Pm = Absolute pressure of gas at the meter, in. Hg.
Tm = Absolute temperature of gas at the orifice, [deg]R.
[Delta]H@ = Meter box calibration factor obtained in Section 
          8.1.1.1, in. H2O.
0.00154 = (in. H2O/[deg]R).

    Note: This calculation is left in English units, and is not 
converted to metric units because nomographs are based on English units.

    8.1.1.3 Set the calculated C factor on the operating nomograph, and 
select the proper nozzle diameter and K factor as specified in APTD-
0576. If the C factor obtained in Section 8.1.1.2 exceeds the values 
specified on the existing operating nomograph, expand the C scale 
logarithmically so that the values can be properly located.
    8.1.2 If a calculator is used to set isokinetic rates, it is 
suggested that the isokinetic equation presented in Reference 13 in 
Section 17.0 of Method 101 be consulted.
    8.2 Sampling in Small (<12-in. Diameter) Stacks. When the stack 
diameter (or equivalent diameter) is less than 12 inches, conventional 
pitot tube-probe assemblies should not be used. For sampling guidelines, 
see Reference 14 in Section 17.0 of Method 101.

    5.1 Disclaimer. This method may involve hazardous materials, 
operations, and equipment. This test method may not address all of the 
safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the 
user of this test method to establish appropriate safety and health 
practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations 
prior to performing this test method.
    5.2 Hydrochloric Acid (HCl). Highly corrosive and toxic. Vapors are 
highly irritating to eyes, skin, nose, and lungs, causing severe damage. 
May cause bronchitis, pneumonia, or edema of lungs. Exposure to 
concentrations of 0.13 to 0.2 percent can be lethal to humans in a few 
minutes. Provide ventilation to limit exposure. Reacts with metals, 
producing hydrogen gas. Personal protective equipment and safe 
procedures are useful in preventing chemical splashes. If contact 
occurs, immediately flush with copious amounts of water at least 15 
minutes. Remove clothing under shower and decontaminate. Treat residual 
chemical burn as thermal burn.

                       6.0 Equipment and Supplies

    6.1 Sample Collection. A schematic of the required sampling train 
configuration is shown in Figure 103-1 in Section 17.0. The essential 
components of the train are as follows:
    6.1.1 Nozzle. Stainless steel, or equivalent, with sharp, tapered 
leading edge.
    6.1.2 Probe. Sheathed borosilicate or quartz glass tubing.
    6.1.3 Filter. Millipore AA, or equivalent, with appropriate filter 
holder that provides a positive seal against leakage from outside or 
around the filter. It is suggested that a Whatman 41, or equivalent, be 
placed immediately against the back side of the Millipore filter as a 
guard against breakage of the Millipore. Include the backup filter in 
the analysis. To be equivalent, other filters shall exhibit at least 
99.95 percent efficiency (0.05 percent penetration) on 0.3 micron 
dioctyl phthalate smoke particles, and be amenable to the Be analysis 
procedure. The filter efficiency tests shall be conducted in accordance 
with ASTM D 2986-71, 78, 95a (incorporated by reference--see Sec.
61.18). Test data from the supplier's quality control program are 
sufficient for this purpose.
    6.1.4 Meter-Pump System. Any system that will maintain isokinetic 
sampling rate, determine sample volume, and is capable of a sampling 
rate of greater than 14 lpm (0.5 cfm).
    6.2 Measurement of Stack Conditions. The following equipment is used 
to measure stack conditions:
    6.2.1 Pitot Tube. Type S, or equivalent, with a constant coefficient 
(5 percent) over the working range.
    6.2.2 Inclined Manometer, or Equivalent. To measure velocity head to 
10 percent of the minimum value.
    6.2.3 Temperature Measuring Device. To measure stack temperature to 
1.5 percent of the minimum absolute stack 
temperature.
    6.2.4 Pressure Measuring Device. To measure stack pressure to 2.5 mm Hg (0.1 in. Hg).
    6.2.5 Barometer. To measure atmospheric pressure to 2.5 mm Hg (0.1 in. Hg).
    6.2.6 Wet and Dry Bulb Thermometers, Drying Tubes, Condensers, or 
Equivalent. To determine stack gas moisture content to 1 percent.
    6.3 Sample Recovery.
    6.3.1 Probe Cleaning Equipment. Probe brush or cleaning rod at least 
as long as probe, or equivalent. Clean cotton balls, or equivalent, 
should be used with the rod.
    6.3.2 Leakless Glass Sample Bottles. To contain sample.
    6.4 Analysis. All equipment necessary to perform an atomic 
absorption, spectrographic, fluorometric, chromatographic, or equivalent 
analysis.

                       7.0 Reagents and Standards

    7.1 Sample Recovery.
    7.1.1 Water. Deionized distilled, to conform to ASTM D 1193-77, 91 
(incorporated by reference--see Sec.61.18), Type 3.
    7.1.2 Acetone. Reagent grade.
    7.1.3 Wash Acid, 50 Percent (V/V) Hydrochloric Acid (HCl). Mix equal 
volumes of concentrated HCl and water, being careful to add the acid 
slowly to the water.

    7.2 Analysis. Reagents and standards as necessary for the selected 
analytical procedure.

       8.0 Sample Collection, Preservation, Transport, and Storage

    Guidelines for source testing are detailed in the following 
sections. These guidelines are generally applicable; however, most 
sample sites differ to some degree and temporary alterations such as 
stack extensions or expansions often are required to insure the best 
possible sample site. Further, since Be is hazardous, care should be 
taken to minimize exposure. Finally, since the total quantity of Be to 
be collected is quite small, the test must be carefully conducted to 
prevent contamination or loss of sample.
    8.1 Selection of a Sampling Site and Number of Sample Runs. Select a 
suitable sample site that is as close as practicable to the point of 
atmospheric emission. If possible, stacks smaller than one foot in 
diameter should not be sampled.
    8.1.1 Ideal Sampling Site. The ideal sampling site is at least eight 
stack or duct diameters downstream and two diameters upstream from any 
flow disturbance such as a bend, expansion or contraction. For 
rectangular cross sections, use Equation 103-1 in Section 12.2 to 
determine an equivalent diameter, De.
    8.1.2 Alternate Sampling Site. Some sampling situations may render 
the above sampling site criteria impractical. In such cases, select an 
alternate site no less than two diameters downstream and one-half 
diameter upstream from any point of flow disturbance. Additional sample 
runs are recommended at any sample site not meeting the criteria of 
Section 8.1.1.
    8.1.3 Number of Sample Runs Per Test. Three sample runs constitute a 
test. Conduct each run at one of three different points. Select three 
points that proportionately divide the diameter, or are located at 25, 
50, and 75 percent of the diameter from the inside wall. For horizontal 
ducts, sample on a vertical line through the centroid. For rectangular 
ducts, sample on a line through the centroid and parallel to a side. If 
additional sample runs are performed per Section 8.1.2, proportionately 
divide the duct to accommodate the total number of runs.
    8.2 Measurement of Stack Conditions. Using the equipment described 
in Section 6.2, measure the stack gas pressure, moisture, and 
temperature to determine the molecular weight of the stack gas. Sound 
engineering estimates may be made in lieu of direct measurements. 
Describe the basis for such estimates in the test report.
    8.3 Preparation of Sampling Train.
    8.3.1 Assemble the sampling train as shown in Figure 103-1. It is 
recommended that all glassware be precleaned by soaking in wash acid for 
two hours.
    8.3.2 Leak check the sampling train at the sampling site. The 
leakage rate should not be in excess of 1 percent of the desired sample 
rate.
    8.4 Sampling Train Operation.
    8.4.1 For each run, measure the velocity at the selected sampling 
point. Determine the isokinetic sampling rate. Record the velocity head 
and the required sampling rate. Place the nozzle at the sampling point 
with the tip pointing directly into the gas stream. Immediately start 
the pump and adjust the flow to isokinetic conditions. At the conclusion 
of the test, record the sampling rate. Again measure the velocity head 
at the sampling point. The required isokinetic rate at the end of the 
period should not have deviated more than 20 percent from that 
originally calculated. Describe the reason for any deviation beyond 20 
percent in the test report.
    8.4.2 Sample at a minimum rate of 14 liters/min (0.5 cfm). Obtain 
samples over such a period or periods of time as are necessary to 
determine the maximum emissions which would occur in a 24-hour period. 
In the case of cyclic operations, perform sufficient sample runs so as 
to allow determination or calculation of the emissions that occur over 
the duration of the cycle. A minimum sampling time of two hours per run 
is recommended.
    8.5 Sample Recovery.
    8.5.1 It is recommended that all glassware be precleaned as in 
Section 8.3. Sample recovery should also be performed in an area free of 
possible Be contamination. When the sampling train is moved, exercise 
care to prevent breakage and contamination. Set aside a portion of the 
acetone used in the sample recovery as a blank for analysis. The total 
amount of acetone used should be measured for accurate blank correction. 
Blanks can be eliminated if prior analysis shows negligible amounts.
    8.5.2 Remove the filter (and backup filter, if used) and any loose 
particulate matter from filter holder, and place in a container.
    8.5.3 Clean the probe with acetone and a brush or long rod and 
cotton balls. Wash into the container with the filter. Wash out the 
filter holder with acetone, and add to the same container.

    10.1 Sampling Train. As a procedural check, compare the sampling 
rate regulation with a dry gas meter, spirometer, rotameter (calibrated 
for prevailing atmospheric conditions), or equivalent, attached to the 
nozzle inlet of the complete sampling train.
    10.2 Analysis. Perform the analysis standardization as suggested by 
the manufacturer of the instrument, or the procedures for the analytical 
method in use.

the stack cross section, and stack dimensions and distances from any 
point of disturbance.

    1.2 Applicability. This method is applicable for the determination 
of Be emissions in ducts or stacks at stationary sources. Unless 
otherwise specified, this method is not intended to apply to gas streams 
other than those emitted directly to the atmosphere without further 
processing.
    1.3 Data Quality Objectives. Adherences to the requirements of this 
method will enhance the quality of the data obtained from air pollutant 
sampling methods.

                          2.0 Summary of Method

    2.1 Particulate and gaseous Be emissions are withdrawn 
isokinetically from the source and are collected on a glass fiber filter 
and in water. The collected sample is digested in an acid solution and 
is analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry.

                       3.0 Definitions [Reserved]

                            4.0 Interferences

    4.1 Matrix Effects. Analysis for Be by flame atomic absorption 
spectrophotometry is sensitive to the chemical composition and to the 
physical properties (e.g., viscosity, pH) of the sample. Aluminum and 
silicon, in particular, are known to interfere when present in 
appreciable quantities. The analytical procedure includes (optionally) 
the use of the Method of Standard Additions to check for these matrix 
effects, and sample analysis using the Method of Standard Additions if 
significant matrix effects are found to be present (see Reference 2 in 
Section 17.0).

                               5.0 Safety

    5.1 Disclaimer. This method may involve hazardous materials, 
operations, and equipment. This test method may not address all of the 
safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the 
user of this test method to establish appropriate safety and health 
practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations 
prior to performing this test method.
    5.2 Corrosive reagents. The following reagents are hazardous. 
Personal protective equipment and safe procedures are useful in 
preventing chemical splashes. If contact occurs, immediately flush with 
copious amounts of water at least 15 minutes. Remove clothing under 
shower and decontaminate. Treat residual chemical burn as thermal burn.
    5.2.1 Hydrochloric Acid (HCl). Highly toxic. Vapors are 
highly irritating to eyes, skin, nose, and lungs, causing severe damage. 
May cause bronchitis, pneumonia, or edema of lungs. Exposure to 
concentrations of 0.13 to 0.2 percent can be lethal to humans in a few 
minutes. Provide ventilation to limit exposure. Reacts with metals, 
producing hydrogen gas.
    5.2.2 Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2). Irritating to 
eyes, skin, nose, and lungs.
    5.2.3 Nitric Acid (HNO3). Highly corrosive to eyes, skin, 
nose, and lungs. Vapors cause bronchitis, pneumonia, or edema of lungs. 
Reaction to inhalation may be delayed as long as 30 hours and still be 
fatal. Provide ventilation to limit exposure. Strong oxidizer. Hazardous 
reaction may occur with organic materials such as solvents.
    5.2.4 Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH). Causes severe damage to eyes and 
skin. Inhalation causes irritation to nose, throat, and lungs. Reacts 
exothermically with limited amounts of water.
    5.3 Beryllium is hazardous, and precautions should be taken to 
minimize exposure.

                       6.0 Equipment and Supplies

    6.1 Sample Collection. Same as Method 5, Section 6.1, with the 
exception of the following:
    6.1.1 Sampling Train. Same as Method 5, Section 6.1.1, with the 
exception of the following:
    6.1.2 Probe Liner. Borosilicate or quartz glass tubing. A heating 
system capable of maintaining a gas temperature of 120 14 [deg]C (248 25 [deg]F) at the 
probe exit during sampling to prevent water condensation may be used.

    Note: Do not use metal probe liners.

    6.1.3 Filter Holder. Borosilicate glass, with a glass frit filter 
support and a silicone rubber gasket. Other materials of construction 
(e.g., stainless steel, Teflon, Viton) may be used, subject to the 
approval of the Administrator. The holder design shall provide a 
positive seal against leakage from the outside or around the filter. The 
holder shall be attached immediately at the outlet of the probe. A 
heating system capable of maintaining the filter at a minimum 
temperature in the range of the stack temperature may be used to prevent 
condensation from occurring.
    6.1.4 Impingers. Four Greenburg-Smith impingers connected in series 
with leak-free ground glass fittings or any similar leak-free 
noncontaminating fittings. For the first, third, and fourth impingers,

                       7.0 Reagents and Standards

    Note: Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended that all reagents 
conform to the specifications established by the Committee on Analytical 
Reagents of the American Chemical Society, where such specifications are 
available; otherwise, use the best available grade.
    7.1 Sample Collection. Same as Method 5, Section 7.1, including 
deionized distilled water conforming to ASTM D 1193-77 or 91 
(incorporated by reference--see Sec.61.18), Type 3. The Millipore AA 
filter is recommended.
    7.2 Sample Recovery. Same as Method 5 in appendix A, part 60, 
Section 7.2, with the addition of the following:
    7.2.1 Wash Acid, 50 Percent (V/V) Hydrochloric Acid (HCl). Mix equal 
volumes of concentrated HCl and water, being careful to add the acid 
slowly to the water.
    7.3 Sample Preparation and Analysis. The following reagents and 
standards and standards are needed for sample preparation and analysis:
    7.3.1 Water. Same as in Section 7.1.
    7.3.2. Perchloric Acid (HClO4). Concentrated (70 percent 
V/V).
    7.3.3 Nitric Acid (HNO3). Concentrated.
    7.3.4 Beryllium Powder. Minimum purity 98 percent.
    7.3.5 Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4) Solution, 12 N. 
Dilute 33 ml of concentrated H2SO4 to 1 liter with 
water.
    7.3.6 Hydrochloric Acid Solution, 25 Percent HCl (V/V).
    7.3.7 Stock Beryllium Standard Solution, 10 [micro]g Be/ml. Dissolve 
10.0 mg of Be in 80 ml of 12 N H2SO4 in a 1000-ml 
volumetric flask. Dilute to volume with water. This solution is stable 
for at least one month. Equivalent strength Be stock solutions may be 
prepared from Be salts such as BeCl2 and 
Be(NO3)2 (98 percent minimum purity).
    7.3.8 Working Beryllium Standard Solution, 1 [micro]g Be/ml. Dilute 
a 10 ml aliquot of the stock beryllium standard solution to 100 ml with 
25 percent HCl solution to give a concentration of 1 mg/ml. Prepare this 
dilute stock solution fresh daily.

       8.0 Sample Collection, Preservation, Transport, and Storage

    The amount of Be that is collected is generally small, therefore, it 
is necessary to exercise particular care to prevent contamination or 
loss of sample.
    8.1 Pretest Preparation. Same as Method 5, Section 8.1, except omit 
Section 8.1.3.
    8.2 Preliminary Determinations. Same as Method 5, Section 8.2, with 
the exception of the following:
    8.2.1 Select a nozzle size based on the range of velocity heads to 
assure that it is not necessary to change the nozzle size in order to 
maintain isokinetic sampling rates below 28 liters/min (1.0 cfm).
    8.2.2 Obtain samples over a period or periods of time that 
accurately determine the maximum emissions that occur in a 24-hour 
period. In the case of cyclic operations, perform sufficient sample runs 
for the accurate determination of the emissions that occur over the 
duration of the cycle. A minimum sample time of 2 hours per run is 
recommended.
    8.3 Preparation of Sampling Train. Same as Method 5, Section 8.3, 
with the exception of the following:
    8.3.1 Prior to assembly, clean all glassware (probe, impingers, and 
connectors) by first soaking in wash acid for 2 hours, followed by 
rinsing with water.
    8.3.2 Save a portion of the water for a blank analysis.
    8.3.3 Procedures relating to the use of metal probe liners are not 
applicable.
    8.3.4 Probe and filter heating systems are needed only if water 
condensation is a problem. If this is the case, adjust the heaters to 
provide a temperature at or above the stack temperature. However, 
membrane filters such as the Millipore AA are limited to about 107 
[deg]C (225 [deg]F). If the stack gas is in excess of about 93 [deg]C 
(200 [deg]F), consideration should be given to an alternate procedure 
such as moving the filter holder downstream of the first impinger to 
insure that the filter does not exceed its temperature limit. After the 
sampling train has been assembled, turn on and set the probe heating 
system, if applicable, at the desired operating temperature. Allow time 
for the temperatures to stabilize. Place crushed ice around the 
impingers.

    Note: An empty impinger may be inserted between the third impinger 
and the silica gel to remove excess moisture from the sample stream.

    8.4 Leak Check Procedures, Sampling Train Operation, and Calculation 
of Percent Isokinetic. Same as Method 5, Sections 8.4, 8.5, and 8.6, 
respectively.

[[Page 268]]

    8.5 Sample Recovery. Same as Method 5, Section 8.7, except treat the 
sample as follows: Transfer the probe and impinger assembly to a cleanup 
area that is clean, protected from the wind, and free of Be 
contamination. Inspect the train before and during this assembly, and 
note any abnormal conditions. Treat the sample as follows: Disconnect 
the probe from the impinger train.
    8.5.1 Container No. 1. Same as Method 5, Section 8.7.6.1.
    8.5.2 Container No. 2. Place the contents (measured to 1 ml) of the 
first three impingers into a glass sample bottle. Use the procedures 
outlined in Section 8.7.6.2 of Method 5, where applicable, to rinse the 
probe nozzle, probe fitting, probe liner, filter holder, and all 
glassware between the filter holder and the back half of the third 
impinger with water. Repeat this procedure with acetone. Place both 
water and acetone rinse solutions in the sample bottle with the contents 
of the impingers.
    8.5.3 Container No. 3. Same as Method 5, Section 8.7.6.3.
    8.6 Blanks.
    8.6.1 Water Blank. Save a portion of the water as a blank. Take 200 
ml directly from the wash bottle being used and place it in a plastic 
sample container labeled ``H2O blank.''
    8.6.2 Filter. Save two filters from each lot of filters used in 
sampling. Place these filters in a container labeled ``filter blank.''
    8.7 Post-test Glassware Rinsing. If an additional test is desired, 
the glassware can be carefully double rinsed with water and reassembled. 
However, if the glassware is out of use more than 2 days, repeat the 
initial acid wash procedure.

                  10.0 Calibration and Standardization

    Note: Maintain a laboratory log of all calibrations.
    10.1 Sampling Equipment. Same as Method 5, Section 10.0.
    10.2 Preparation of Standard Solutions. Pipet 1, 3, 5, 8, and 10 ml 
of the 1.0 [micro]g Be/ml working standard solution into separate 100 ml 
volumetric flasks, and dilute to the mark with water. The total amounts 
of Be in these standards are 1, 3, 5, 8, and 10 [micro]g, respectively.
    10.3 Spectrophotometer and Recorder. The Be response may be measured 
by either peak height or peak area. Analyze an aliquot of the 10-
[micro]g standard at 234.8 nm using a nitrous oxide/acetylene flame. 
Determine the maximum absorbance of the standard, and set this value to 
read 90 percent of the recorder full scale.
    10.4 Calibration Curve.
    10.4.1 After setting the recorder scale, analyze an appropriately 
sized aliquot of each standard and the BLANK (see Section 11) until two 
consecutive peaks agree within 3 percent of their average value.
    10.4.3 Subtract the average peak height (or peak area) of the 
blank--which must be less than 2 percent of recorder full scale--from 
the averaged peak heights of the standards. If the blank absorbance is 
greater than 2 percent of full-scale, the probable cause is Be 
contamination of a reagent or carry-over of Be from a previous sample. 
Prepare the calibration curve by plotting the corrected peak height of 
each standard solution versus the corresponding total Be weight in the 
standard (in [micro]g).
    10.5 Spectrophotometer Calibration Quality Control. Calculate the 
least squares slope of the calibration curve. The line must pass through 
the origin or through a point no further from the origin than 2 percent of the recorder full scale. Multiply the 
corrected peak height by the reciprocal of the least squares slope to 
determine the distance each calibration point lies from the theoretical 
calibration line. The difference between the calculated concentration 
values and the actual concentrations (i.e., 1, 3, 5, 8, and 10 [micro]g 
Be) must be less than 7 percent for all standards.

                        11.0 Analytical Procedure

    11.1 Sample Loss Check. Prior to analysis, check the liquid level in 
Container No. 2. Note on the analytical data sheet whether leakage 
occurred during transport. If a noticeable amount of leakage occurred, 
either void the sample or take steps, subject to the approval of the 
Administrator, to adjust the final results.
    11.2 Glassware Cleaning. Before use, clean all glassware according 
to the procedure of Section 8.3.1.
    11.3 Sample Preparation. The digestion of Be samples is accomplished 
in part in concentrated HClO4.

    Note: The sample must be heated to light brown fumes after the 
initial HNO3 addition;

[[Page 269]]

otherwise, dangerous perchlorates may result from the subsequent 
HClO4 digestion. HClO4 should be used only under a 
hood.

    11.3.1 Container No. 1. Transfer the filter and any loose 
particulate matter from Container No. 1 to a 150-ml beaker. Add 35 ml 
concentrated HNO3. To oxidize all organic matter, heat on a 
hotplate until light brown fumes are evident. Cool to room temperature, 
and add 5 ml 12 N H2SO4 and 5 ml concentrated 
HClO4.
    11.3.2 Container No. 2. Place a portion of the water and acetone 
sample into a 150 ml beaker, and put on a hotplate. Add portions of the 
remainder as evaporation proceeds and evaporate to dryness. Cool the 
residue, and add 35 ml concentrated HNO3. To oxidize all 
organic matter, heat on a hotplate until light brown fumes are evident. 
Cool to room temperature, and add 5 ml 12 N H2SO4 
and 5 ml concentrated HClO4. Then proceed with step 11.3.4.
    11.3.3 Final Sample Preparation. Add the sample from Section 11.3.2 
to the 150-ml beaker from Section 11.3.1. Replace on a hotplate, and 
evaporate to dryness in a HClO4 hood. Cool the residue to 
room temperature, add 10.0 ml of 25 percent V/V HCl, and mix to dissolve 
the residue.
    11.3.4 Filter and Water Blanks. Cut each filter into strips, and 
treat each filter individually as directed in Section 11.3.1. Treat the 
200-ml water blank as directed in Section 11.3.2. Combine and treat 
these blanks as directed in Section 11.3.3.
    11.4 Spectrophotometer Preparation. Turn on the power; set the 
wavelength, slit width, and lamp current; and adjust the background 
corrector as instructed by the manufacturer's manual for the particular 
atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Adjust the burner and flame 
characteristics as necessary.
    11.5 Analysis. Calibrate the analytical equipment and develop a 
calibration curve as outlined in Sections 10.4 and 10.5.
    11.5.1 Beryllium Samples. Repeat the procedure used to establish the 
calibration curve with an appropriately sized aliquot of each sample 
(from Section 11.3.3) until two consecutive peak heights agree within 3 
percent of their average value. The peak height of each sample must be 
greater than 10 percent of the recorder full scale. If the peak height 
of the sample is off scale on the recorder, further dilute the original 
source sample to bring the Be concentration into the calibration range 
of the spectrophotometer.
    11.5.2 Run a blank and standard at least after every five samples to 
check the spectrophotometer calibration. The peak height of the blank 
must pass through a point no further from the origin than 2 percent of the recorder full scale. The difference 
between the measured concentration of the standard (the product of the 
corrected peak height and the reciprocal of the least squares slope) and 
the actual concentration of the standard must be less than 7 percent, or 
recalibration of the analyzer is required.
    11.5.3 Check for Matrix Effects (optional). Use the Method of 
Standard Additions (see Reference 2 in Section 17.0) to check at least 
one sample from each source for matrix effects on the Be results. If the 
results of the Method of Standard Additions procedure used on the single 
source sample do not agree to within 5 percent of the value obtained by 
the routine atomic absorption analysis, then reanalyze all samples from 
the source using the Method of Standard Additions procedure.
    11.6 Container No. 2 (Silica Gel). Weigh the spent silica gel (or 
silica gel plus impinger) to the nearest 0.5 g using a balance. (This 
step may be conducted in the field.)

                   12.0 Data Analysis and Calculations

    Carry out calculations, retaining at least one extra decimal 
significant figure beyond that of the acquired data. Round off figures 
only after the final calculation. Other forms of the equations may be 
used as long as they give equivalent results.
    12.1 Nomenclature.

K1 = 0.3858 [deg]K/mm Hg for metric units.
    = 17.64 [deg]R/in. Hg for English units.
K3 = 10-6 g/[micro]g for metric units.
     = 2.2046 x 10-9 lb/[micro]g for English units.
mBe = Total weight of beryllium in the source sample.
Ps = Absolute stack gas pressure, mm Hg (in. Hg).
t = Daily operating time, sec/day.
Ts = Absolute average stack gas temperature, [deg]K ([deg]R).
Vm(std) = Dry gas sample volume at standard conditions, scm 
          (scf).
Vw(std) = Volume of water vapor at standard conditions, scm 
          (scf).

    12.2 Average Dry Gas Meter Temperature and Average Orifice Pressure 
Drop, Dry Gas Volume, Volume of Water Vapor Condensed, Moisture Content, 
Isokinetic Variation, and Stack Gas Velocity and Volumetric Flow Rate. 
Same as Method 5, Sections 12.2 through 12.5, 12.11, and 12.12, 
respectively.
    12.3 Total Beryllium. For each source sample, correct the average 
maximum absorbance of the two consecutive samples whose peak heights 
agree within 3 percent of their average for the contribution of the 
solution blank (see Sections 11.3.4 and 11.5.2). Correcting for any 
dilutions if necessary, use the calibration curve and these corrected 
averages to determine the total weight of Be in each source sample.
    12.4 Beryllium Emission Rate. Calculate the daily Hg emission rate, 
R, using Equation 104-1. For continuous operations, the operating time 
is equal to 86,400 seconds per day. For cyclic operations, use only the 
time

[[Page 270]]

per day each stack is in operation. The total Hg emission rate from a 
source will be the summation of results from all stacks.

    12.5 Determination of Compliance. Each performance test consists of 
three sample runs. For the purpose of determining compliance with an 
applicable national emission standard, use the average of the results of 
all sample runs.

                       16.0 Alternative Procedures

    16.1 Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-
AES) Analysis. ICP-AES may be used as an alternative to atomic 
absorption analysis provided the following conditions are met:
    16.1.1 Sample collection, sample preparation, and analytical 
preparation procedures are as defined in the method except as necessary 
for the ICP-AES application.
    16.1.2 Quality Assurance/Quality Control procedures, including audit 
material analysis, are conducted as prescribed in the method. The QA 
acceptance conditions must be met.
    16.1.3 The limit of quantitation for the ICP-AES must be 
demonstrated and the sample concentrations reported should be no less 
than two times the limit of quantitation. The limit of quantitation is 
defined as ten times the standard deviation of the blank value. The 
standard deviation of the blank value is determined from the analysis of 
seven blanks. It has been reported that for mercury and those elements 
that form hydrides, a continuous-flow generator coupled to an ICP-AES 
offers detection limits comparable to cold vapor atomic absorption.
    16.2 Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) Analysis. 
ICP-MS may be used as an alternative to atomic absorption analysis.
    16.3 Cold Vapor Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry (CVAFS) Analysis. 
CVAFS may be used as an alternative to atomic absorption analysis.

                          2.0 Summary of Method

    2.1 Time-composite sludge samples are withdrawn from the conveyor 
belt subsequent to dewatering and before incineration or drying. A 
weighed portion of the sludge is digested in aqua regia and is oxidized 
by potassium permanganate (KMnO4). Mercury in the digested 
sample is then measured by the conventional spectrophotometric cold-
vapor technique.

samples from Section 8.2 in an oven at 105 [deg]C (221 [deg]F) to 
constant weight. Cool in a desiccator, weigh and record the dry weight 
of the sample.
    11.2 Aqua Regia Digestion of Blended Samples.
    11.2.1 To each of the three remaining 20-ml samples from Section 8.2 
add 25 ml of aqua regia, and digest the on a hot plate at low heat (do 
not boil) for 30 min, or until samples are a pale yellow-brown color and 
are void of the dark brown color characteristic of organic matter. 
Remove from hotplate and allow to cool.
    11.2.2 Filter each digested sample separately through an S and S No. 
588 filter or equivalent, and rinse the filter contents with 50 ml of

should select the column and operating parameters best suited to the 
particular analysis requirements. The selection made is subject to 
approval of the Administrator. Approval is automatic, provided that 
confirming data are produced through an adequate supplemental analytical 
technique, and that the data are available for review by the 
Administrator. An example of this would be analysis with a different 
column or GC/mass spectroscopy.

                       7.0 Reagents and Standards

    7.1 Analysis. The following reagents are required for analysis.
    7.1.1 Helium or Nitrogen. Purity 99.9995 percent or greater, for 
chromatographic carrier gas.
    7.1.2 Hydrogen. Purity 99.9995 percent or greater.
    7.1.3 Oxygen or Air. Either oxygen (purity 99.99 percent or greater) 
or air (less than 0.1 ppmv total hydrocarbon content), as required by 
detector.
    7.2 Calibration. Use one of the following options: either Sections 
7.2.1 and 7.2.2, or Section 7.2.3.
    7.2.1 Vinyl Chloride. Pure vinyl chloride gas certified by the 
manufacturer to contain a minimum of 99.9 percent vinyl chloride. If the 
gas manufacturer maintains a bulk cylinder supply of 99.9 + percent 
vinyl chloride, the certification analysis may have been performed on 
this supply, rather than on each gas cylinder prepared from this bulk 
supply. The date of gas cylinder preparation and the certified analysis 
must have been affixed to the cylinder before shipment from the gas 
manufacturer to the buyer.
    7.2.2 Nitrogen. Same as described in Section 7.1.1.
    7.2.3 Cylinder Standards. Gas mixture standards (50-,10-, and 5 ppmv 
vinyl chloride) in nitrogen cylinders may be used to directly prepare a 
chromatograph calibration curve as described in Section 10.3 if the 
following conditions are met: (a) The manufacturer certifies the gas 
composition with an accuracy of 3 percent or 
better. (b) The manufacturer recommends a maximum shelf life over which 
the gas concentration does not change by greater than 5 percent from the certified value. (c) The manufacturer 
affixes the date of gas cylinder preparation, certified vinyl chloride 
concentration, and recommended maximum shelf to the cylinder before 
shipment to the buyer.
    7.2.3.1 Cylinder Standards Certification. The manufacturer shall 
certify the concentration of vinyl chloride in nitrogen in each cylinder 
by (a) directly analyzing each cylinder and (b) calibrating his 
analytical procedure on the day of cylinder analysis. To calibrate his 
analytical procedure, the manufacturer shall use as a minimum, a three 
point calibration curve. It is recommended that the manufacturer 
maintain (1) a high concentration calibration standard (between 50 and 
100 ppmv) to prepare his calibration curve by an appropriate dilution 
technique and (2) a low-concentration calibration standard (between 5 
and 10 ppmv) to verify the dilution technique used. If the difference 
between the apparent concentration read from the calibration curve and 
the true concentration assigned to the low-concentration calibration 
standard exceeds 5 percent of the true concentration, the manufacturer 
shall determine the source of error and correct it, then repeat the 
three-point calibration.
    7.2.3.2 Verification of Manufacturer's Calibration Standards. Before 
using a standard, the manufacturer shall verify each calibration 
standard (a) by comparing it to gas mixtures prepared (with 99 mole 
percent vinyl chloride) in accordance with the procedure described in 
Section 7.2.1 or (b) calibrating it against vinyl chloride cylinder 
Standard Reference Materials (SRM's) prepared by the National Institute 
of Standards and Technology, if such SRM's are available. The agreement 
between the initially determined concentration value and the 
verification concentration value must be 5 
percent. The manufacturer must reverify all calibration standards on a 
time interval consistent with the shelf life of the cylinder standards 
sold.

       8.0 Sample Collection, Preservation, Storage, and Transport

    Note: Performance of this method should not be attempted by persons 
unfamiliar with the operation of a gas chromatograph (GC) nor by those 
who are unfamiliar with source sampling, because knowledge beyond the 
scope of this presentation is required.

    8.1 Bag Leak-Check. The following leak-check procedure is 
recommended, but not required, prior to sample collection. The post-test 
leak-check procedure is mandatory. Connect a water manometer and 
pressurize the bag to 5 to 10 cm H2O (2 to 4 in. 
H2O). Allow to stand for 10 min. Any displacement in the 
water manometer indicates a leak. Also, check the rigid container for 
leaks in this manner.

    Note: An alternative leak-check method is to pressurize the bag to 5 
to 10 cm H2O and allow it to stand overnight. A deflated bag indicates a 
leak. For each sample bag in its rigid container, place a rotameter in 
line between the bag and the pump inlet. Evacuate the bag. Failure of 
the rotameter to register

[[Page 276]]

zero flow when the bag appears to be empty indicates a leak.

    8.2 Sample Collection. Assemble the sample train as shown in Figure 
106-1. Join the quick connects as illustrated, and determine that all 
connection between the bag and the probe are tight. Place the end of the 
probe at the centroid of the stack and start the pump with the needle 
valve adjusted to yield a flow that will fill over 50 percent of bag 
volume in the specific sample period. After allowing sufficient time to 
purge the line several times, change the vacuum line from the container 
to the bag and evacuate the bag until the rotameter indicates no flow. 
Then reposition the sample and vacuum lines and begin the actual 
sampling, keeping the rate proportional to the stack velocity. At all 
times, direct the gas exiting the rotameter away from sampling 
personnel. At the end of the sample period, shut off the pump, 
disconnect the sample line from the bag, and disconnect the vacuum line 
from the bag container. Protect the bag container from sunlight.
    8.3 Sample Storage. Keep the sample bags out of direct sunlight. 
When at all possible, analysis is to be performed within 24 hours, but 
in no case in excess of 72 hours of sample collection. Aluminized Mylar 
bag samples must be analyzed within 24 hours.
    8.4 Post-test Bag Leak-Check. Subsequent to recovery and analysis of 
the sample, leak-check the sample bag according to the procedure 
outlined in Section 8.1.

8.1) and meter in 5.0 liters of nitrogen. While the bag is filling, use 
the 0.5-ml syringe to inject 250 [micro]l of 99.9 + percent vinyl 
chloride gas through the wall of the bag. Upon withdrawing the syringe, 
immediately cover the resulting hole with a piece of adhesive tape. The 
bag now contains a vinyl chloride concentration of 50 ppmv. In a like 
manner use the 50 [micro]l syringe to prepare gas mixtures having 10-and 
5-ppmv vinyl chloride concentrations. Place each bag on a smooth surface 
and alternately depress opposite sides of the bag 50 times to further 
mix the gases. These gas mixture standards may be used for 10 days from 
the date of preparation, after which time new gas mixtures must be 
prepared. (Caution: Contamination may be a problem when a bag is reused 
if the new gas mixture standard is a lower concentration than the 
previous gas mixture standard.)
    10.2 Determination of Vinyl Chloride Retention Time. (This section 
can be performed simultaneously with Section 10.3.) Establish 
chromatograph conditions identical with those in Section 11.3. Determine 
proper attenuator position. Flush the sampling loop with helium or 
nitrogen and activate the sample valve. Record the injection time, 
sample loop temperature, column temperature, carrier gas flow rate, 
chart speed, and attenuator setting. Record peaks and detector responses 
that occur in the absence of vinyl chloride. Maintain conditions with 
the equipment plumbing arranged identically to Section 11.2, and flush 
the sample loop for 30 seconds at the rate of 100 ml/min with one of the 
vinyl chloride calibration mixtures. Then activate the sample valve. 
Record the injection time. Select the peak that corresponds to vinyl 
chloride. Measure the distance on the chart from the injection time to 
the time at which the peak maximum occurs. This quantity divided by the 
chart speed is defined as the retention time. Since other organics may 
be present in the sample, positive identification of the vinyl chloride 
peak must be made.
    10.3 Preparation of Chromatograph Calibration Curve. Make a GC 
measurement of each gas mixture standard (described in Section 7.2.3 or 
10.1) using conditions identical to those listed in Sections 11.2 and 
11.3. Flush the sampling loop for 30 seconds at the rate of 100 ml/min 
with one of the standard mixtures, and activate the sample valve. Record 
the concentration of vinyl chloride injected (Cc), attenuator 
setting, chart speed, peak area, sample loop temperature, column 
temperature, carrier gas flow rate, and retention time. Record the 
barometric pressure. Calculate Ac, the peak area multiplied 
by the attenuator setting. Repeat until two consecutive injection areas 
are within 5 percent, then plot the average of those two values versus 
Cc. When the other standard gas mixtures have been similarly 
analyzed and plotted, draw a straight line through the points derived by 
the least squares method. Perform calibration daily, or before and after 
the analysis of each emission test set of bag samples, whichever is more 
frequent. For each group of sample analyses, use the average of the two 
calibration curves which

[[Page 277]]

bracket that group to determine the respective sample concentrations. If 
the two calibration curves differ by more than 5 percent from their mean 
value, then report the final results by both calibration curves.

                        11.0 Analytical Procedure

    11.2 Sample Recovery. With a new piece of Teflon tubing identified 
for that bag, connect a bag inlet valve to the gas chromatograph sample 
valve. Switch the valve to receive gas from the bag through the sample 
loop. Arrange the equipment so the sample gas passes from the sample 
valve to 100-ml/min rotameter with flow control valve followed by a 
charcoal tube and a 1-in. H2O pressure gauge. Maintain the 
sample flow either by a vacuum pump or container pressurization if the 
collection bag remains in the rigid container. After sample loop purging 
is ceased, allow the pressure gauge to return to zero before activating 
the gas sampling valve.
    11.3 Analysis.
    11.3.1 Set the column temperature to 100 [deg]C (210 [deg]F) and the 
detector temperature to 150 [deg]C (300 [deg]F). When optimum hydrogen 
and oxygen (or air) flow rates have been determined, verify and maintain 
these flow rates during all chromatography operations. Using helium or 
nitrogen as the carrier gas, establish a flow rate in the range 
consistent with the manufacturer's requirements for satisfactory 
detector operation. A flow rate of approximately 40 ml/min should 
produce adequate separations. Observe the base line periodically and 
determine that the noise level has stabilized and that base line drift 
has ceased. Purge the sample loop for 30 seconds at the rate of 100 ml/
min, shut off flow, allow the sample loop pressure to reach atmospheric 
pressure as indicated by the H2O manometer, then activate the 
sample valve. Record the injection time (the position of the pen on the 
chart at the time of sample injection), sample number, sample loop 
temperature, column temperature, carrier gas flow rate, chart speed, and 
attenuator setting. Record the barometric pressure. From the chart, note 
the peak having the retention time corresponding to vinyl chloride as 
determined in Section 10.2. Measure the vinyl chloride peak area, 
Am, by use of a disc integrator, electronic integrator, or a 
planimeter. Measure and record the peak heights, Hm. Record 
Am and retention time. Repeat the injection at least two 
times or until two consecutive values for the total area of the vinyl 
chloride peak agree within 5 percent of their average. Use the average 
value for these two total areas to compute the bag concentration.
    11.3.2 Compare the ratio of Hm to Am for the 
vinyl chloride sample with the same ratio for the standard peak that is 
closest in height. If these ratios differ by more than 10 percent, the 
vinyl chloride peak may not be pure (possibly acetaldehyde is present) 
and the secondary column should be employed (see Section 6.3.2.2).
    11.4 Determination of Bag Water Vapor Content. Measure the ambient 
temperature and barometric pressure near the bag. From a water 
saturation vapor pressure table, determine and record the water vapor 
content of the bag, Bwb, as a decimal figure. (Assume the 
relative humidity to be 100 percent unless a lesser value is known.)

                         13.0 Method Performance

    13.1 Analytical Range. This method is designed for the 0.1 to 50 
parts per million by volume (ppmv) range. However, common gas 
chromatograph (GC) instruments are capable of detecting 0.02 ppmv vinyl 
chloride. With proper calibration, the upper limit may be extended as 
needed.

    1.2 Applicability. This method is applicable for the determination 
of the vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) content of in-process wastewater 
samples, and the residual vinyl chloride monomer (RCVM) content of 
polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resins, wet, cake, slurry, and latex samples. 
It cannot be used for polymer in fused forms, such as sheet or cubes. 
This method is not acceptable where methods from section 304(h) of the 
Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq. (the Federal Water Pollution 
Control Amendments of 1972 as amended by the Clean Water Act of 1977) 
are required.
    1.3 Data Quality Objectives. Adherence to the requirements of this 
method will enhance the quality of the data obtained from air pollutant 
sampling methods.

                          2.0 Summary of Method

    2.1 The basis for this method relates to the vapor equilibrium that 
is established at a constant known temperature in a closed system 
between RVCM, PVC resin, water, and air. The RVCM in a PVC resin will 
equilibrate rapidly in a closed vessel, provided that the temperature of 
the PVC resin is maintained above the glass transition temperature of 
that specific resin.
    2.2 A sample of PVC or in-process wastewater is collected in a vial 
or bottle and is conditioned. The headspace in the vial or bottle is 
then analyzed for vinyl chloride using gas chromatography with a flame 
ionization detector.

                       3.0 Definitions [Reserved]

                            4.0 Interferences

    4.1 The chromatograph columns and the corresponding operating 
parameters herein described normally provide an adequate resolution of 
vinyl chloride; however, resolution interferences may be encountered on 
some sources. Therefore, the chromatograph operator shall select the 
column and operating parameters best suited to his particular analysis 
requirements, subject to the approval of the Administrator. Approval is 
automatic provided that confirming data are produced through an adequate 
supplemental analytical technique, such as analysis with a different 
column or GC/mass spectroscopy, and that these data are made available 
for review by the Administrator.

                               5.0 Safety

    5.1 Disclaimer. This method may involve hazardous materials, 
operations, and equipment. This test method may not address all of the 
safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the 
user of this test method to establish appropriate safety and health 
practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations 
prior to performing this test method.
    5.2 Toxic Analyte. Care must be exercised to prevent exposure of 
sampling personnel to vinyl chloride, which is a carcinogen. Do not 
release vinyl chloride to the laboratory atmosphere during preparation 
of standards. Venting or purging with VCM/air mixtures must be held to a 
minimum. When they are required, the vapor must be routed to outside 
air. Vinyl chloride, even at low ppm levels, must never be vented inside 
the laboratory. After vials have been analyzed, the gas must be vented 
prior to removal of the vial from the instrument turntable. Vials must 
be vented through a hypodermic needle connected to an activated charcoal 
tube to prevent release of vinyl chloride into the laboratory 
atmosphere. The charcoal must be replaced prior to vinyl chloride 
breakthrough.

                       6.0 Equipment and Supplies

    6.1 Sample Collection. The following equipment is required:
    6.1.1 Glass bottles. 60-ml (2-oz) capacity, with wax-lined screw-on 
tops, for PVC samples.
    6.1.2 Glass Vials. Headspace vials, with Teflon-faced butyl rubber 
sealing discs, for water samples.
    6.1.3 Adhesive Tape. To prevent loosening of bottle tops.
    6.2 Sample Recovery. The following equipment is required:

analyzing a constant amount of headspace gas from a sealed vial, while 
maintaining that

[[Page 281]]

vial at a temperature of 90 [deg]C 0.5 [deg]C (194 
[deg]F 0.9 [deg]F). The chromatograph shall be 
equipped with a flame ionization detector (FID). Perkin-Elmer 
Corporation Models F-40, F-42, F-45, HS-6, and HS-100, and Hewlett-
Packard Corporation Model 19395A have been found satisfactory. 
Chromatograph backflush capability may be required.
    6.3.2 Chromatographic Columns. Stainless steel 1 m by 3.2 mm and 2 m 
by 3.2 mm, both containing 50/80-mesh Porapak Q. Other columns may be 
used provided that the precision and accuracy of the analysis of vinyl 
chloride standards are not impaired and information confirming that 
there is adequate resolution of the vinyl chloride peak are available 
for review. (Adequate resolution is defined as an area overlap of not 
more than 10 percent of the vinyl chloride peak by an interferant peak. 
Calculation of area overlap is explained in Procedure 1 of appendix C to 
this part: ``Determination of Adequate Chromatographic Peak 
Resolution.'') Two 1.83 m columns, each containing 1 percent Carbowax 
1500 on Carbopak B, have been found satisfactory for samples containing 
acetaldehyde.

    6.3.5 Barometer. Accurate to 1 mm Hg.
    6.3.6 Regulators. For required gas cylinders.
    6.3.7 Headspace Vial Pre-Pressurizer. Nitrogen pressurized 
hypodermic needle inside protective shield.

                       7.0 Reagents and Standards

    7.1 Analysis. Same as Method 106, Section 7.1, with the addition of 
the following:
    7.1.1 Water. Interference-free.
    7.2 Calibration. The following items are required for calibration:
    7.2.1 Cylinder Standards (4). Gas mixture standards (50-, 500-, 
2000- and 4000-ppm vinyl chloride in nitrogen cylinders). Cylinder 
standards may be used directly to prepare a chromatograph calibration 
curve as described in Section 10.3, if the following conditions are met: 
(a) The manufacturer certifies the gas composition with an accuracy of 
3 percent or better (see Section 7.2.1.1). (b) The 
manufacturer recommends a maximum shelf life over which the gas 
concentration does not change by greater than 5 
percent from the certified value. (c) The manufacturer affixes the date 
of gas cylinder preparation, certified vinyl chloride concentration, and 
recommended maximum shelf life to the cylinder before shipment to the 
buyer.
    7.2.1.1 Cylinder Standards Certification. The manufacturer shall 
certify the concentration of vinyl chloride in nitrogen in each cylinder 
by (a) directly analyzing each cylinder and (b) calibrating the 
analytical procedure on the day of cylinder analysis. To calibrate the 
analytical procedure, the manufacturer shall use, as a minimum, a 3-
point calibration curve. It is recommended that the manufacturer 
maintain (1) a high-concentration calibration standard (between 4000 and 
8000 ppm) to prepare the calibration curve by an appropriate dilution 
technique and (2) a low-concentration calibration standard (between 50 
and 500 ppm) to verify the dilution technique used. If the difference 
between the apparent concentration read from the calibration curve and 
the true concentration assigned to the low-concentration calibration 
standard exceeds 5 percent of the true concentration, the manufacturer 
shall determine the source of error and correct it, then repeat the 3-
point calibration.
    7.2.1.2 Verification of Manufacturer's Calibration Standards. Before 
using, the manufacturer shall verify each calibration standard by (a) 
comparing it to gas mixtures prepared (with 99 mole percent vinyl 
chloride) in accordance with the procedure described in Section 10.1 of 
Method 106 or by (b) calibrating it against vinyl chloride cylinder 
Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) prepared by the National Institute 
of Standards and Technology, if such SRMs are available. The agreement 
between the initially determined concentration value and the 
verification concentration value must be within 5 percent. The 
manufacturer must reverify all calibration standards on a time interval 
consistent with the shelf life of the cylinder standards sold.

       8.0 Sample Collection, Preservation, Storage, and Transport

    8.1 Sample Collection.
    8.1.1 PVC Sampling. Allow the resin or slurry to flow from a tap on 
the tank or silo until the tap line has been well purged. Extend and 
fill a 60-ml sample bottle under the tap, and immediately tighten a cap 
on the bottle. Wrap adhesive tape around the cap and bottle to prevent 
the cap from loosening. Place an identifying label on each bottle, and 
record the date, time, and sample location both on the bottles and in a 
log book.
    8.1.2 Water Sampling. At the sampling location fill the vials 
bubble-free to overflowing so that a convex meniscus forms at the top. 
The excess water is displaced as the sealing disc is carefully placed, 
with the Teflon side down, on the opening of the vial. Place the 
aluminum seal over the disc and the neck of the vial, and crimp into 
place. Affix an identifying label on the bottle, and record the date, 
time, and sample location both on the vials and in a log book.
    8.2 Sample Storage. All samples must be analyzed within 24 hours of 
collection, and must be refrigerated during this period.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

                  10.0 Calibration and Standardization

    Note: Maintain a laboratory log of all calibrations.
    10.1 Preparation of Standards. Calibration standards are prepared as 
follows: Place 100 [micro]l or about two equal drops of distilled water 
in the sample vial, then fill the vial with the VCM/nitrogen standard, 
rapidly seat the septum, and seal with the aluminum cap. Use a \1/8\-in. 
stainless steel line from the cylinder to the vial. Do not use rubber or 
Tygon tubing. The sample line from the cylinder must be purged (into a 
properly vented hood) for several minutes prior to filling the vials. 
After purging, reduce the flow rate to between 500 and 1000 cc/min. 
Place end of tubing into vial (near bottom). Position a septum on top of 
the vial, pressing it against the \1/8\-in. filling tube to minimize the 
size of the vent opening. This is necessary to minimize mixing air with 
the standard in the vial. Each vial is to be purged with standard for 90 
seconds, during which time the filling tube is gradually slid to the top 
of the vial. After the 90 seconds, the tube is removed with the septum, 
simultaneously sealing the vial. Practice will be necessary to develop 
good technique. Rubber gloves should be worn during the above 
operations. The sealed vial must then be pressurized for 60 seconds 
using the vial prepressurizer. Test the vial for leakage by placing a 
drop of water on the septum at the needle hole. Prepressurization of 
standards is not required unless samples have been prepressurized.
    10.2 Analyzer Calibration. Calibration is to be performed each 8-
hour period the chromatograph is used. Alternatively, calibration with 
duplicate 50-, 500-, 2,000-, and 4,000-ppm standards (hereafter 
described as a four-point calibration) may be performed on a monthly 
basis, provided that a calibration confirmation test consisting of 
duplicate analyses of an appropriate standard is performed once per 
plant shift, or once per chromatograph carrousel operation (if the 
chromatograph operation is less frequent than once per shift). The 
criterion for acceptance of each calibration confirmation test is that 
both analyses of 500-ppm standards [2,000-ppm standards if dispersion 
resin (excluding latex resin) samples are being analyzed] must be within 
5 percent of the most recent four-point calibration curve. If this 
criterion is not met, then a complete four-point calibration must be 
performed before sample analyses can proceed.
    10.3 Preparation of Chromatograph Calibration Curve. Prepare two 
vials each of 50-, 500-, 2,000-, and 4,000-ppm standards. Run the 
calibration samples in exactly the same manner as regular samples. Plot 
As, the integrator area counts for each standard sample, 
versus Cc, the concentration of vinyl chloride in each 
standard sample. Draw a straight line through the points derived by the 
least squares method.

                        11.0 Analytical Procedure

    11.1 Preparation of Equipment. Install the chromatographic column 
and condition overnight at 160 [deg]C (320 [deg]F). In the first 
operation, Porapak columns must be purged for 1 hour at 230 [deg]C (450 
[deg]F).
    Do not connect the exit end of the column to the detector while 
conditioning. Hydrogen and air to the detector must be turned off while 
the column is disconnected.
    11.2 Flow Rate Adjustments. Adjust flow rates as follows:
    11.2.1. Nitrogen Carrier Gas. Set regulator on cylinder to read 50 
psig. Set regulator on chromatograph to produce a flow rate of 30.0 cc/
min. Accurately measure the flow rate at the exit end of the column 
using the soap film flowmeter and a stopwatch, with the oven and column 
at the analysis temperature. After the instrument program advances to 
the ``B'' (backflush) mode, adjust the nitrogen pressure regulator to 
exactly balance the nitrogen flow rate at the detector as was obtained 
in the ``A'' mode.
    11.2.2. Vial Prepressurizer Nitrogen.
    11.2.2.1 After the nitrogen carrier is set, solve the following 
equation and adjust the pressure on the vial prepressurizer accordingly.
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR17OC00.599

Where:

T1 = Ambient temperature, [deg]K ([deg]R).
T2 = Conditioning bath temperature, [deg]K ([deg]R).
P1 = Gas chromatograph absolute dosing pressure (analysis 
          mode), k Pa.

[[Page 283]]

Pw1 = Water vapor pressure 525.8 mm Hg @ 90 [deg]C.
Pw2 = Water vapor pressure 19.8 mm Hg @ 22 [deg]C.
7.50 = mm Hg per k Pa.
10 kPa = Factor to adjust the prepressurized pressure to slightly less 
          than the dosing pressure.

    11.2.2.2 Because of gauge errors, the apparatus may over-pressurize 
the vial. If the vial pressure is at or higher than the dosing pressure, 
an audible double injection will occur. If the vial pressure is too low, 
errors will occur on resin samples because of inadequate time for head-
space gas equilibrium. This condition can be avoided by running several 
standard gas samples at various pressures around the calculated 
pressure, and then selecting the highest pressure that does not produce 
a double injection. All samples and standards must be pressurized for 60 
seconds using the vial prepressurizer. The vial is then placed into the 
90 [deg]C conditioning bath and tested for leakage by placing a drop of 
water on the septum at the needle hole. A clean, burr-free needle is 
mandatory.
    11.2.3. Burner Air Supply. Set regulator on cylinder to read 50 
psig. Set regulator on chromatograph to supply air to burner at a rate 
between 250 and 300 cc/min. Check with bubble flowmeter.
    11.2.4. Hydrogen Supply. Set regulator on cylinder to read 30 psig. 
Set regulator on chromatograph to supply approximately 35 5 cc/min. Optimize hydrogen flow to yield the most 
sensitive detector response without extinguishing the flame. Check flow 
with bubble meter and record this flow.
    11.3 Temperature Adjustments. Set temperatures as follows:
    11.3.1. Oven (chromatograph column), 140 [deg]C (280 [deg]F).
    11.3.2. Dosing Line, 150 [deg]C (300 [deg]F).
    11.3.3. Injection Block, 170 [deg]C (340 [deg]F).
    11.3.4. Sample Chamber, Water Temperature, 90 [deg]C 1.0 [deg]C (194 [deg]F 1.8 
[deg]F).
    11.4 Ignition of Flame Ionization Detector. Ignite the detector 
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
    11.5 Amplifier Balance. Balance the amplifier according to the 
manufacturer's instructions.
    11.6 Programming the Chromatograph. Program the chromatograph as 
follows:
    11.6.1. I--Dosing or Injection Time. The normal setting is 2 
seconds.
    11.6.2. A--Analysis Time. The normal setting is approximately 70 
percent of the VCM retention time. When this timer terminates, the 
programmer initiates backflushing of the first column.
    11.6.3. B--Backflushing Time. The normal setting is double the 
analysis time.
    11.6.4. W--Stabilization Time. The normal setting is 0.5 min to 1.0 
min.
    11.6.5. X--Number of Analyses Per Sample. The normal setting is one.
    11.7. Sample Treatment. All samples must be recovered and analyzed 
within 24 hours after collection.
    11.7.1 Resin Samples. The weight of the resin used must be between 
0.1 and 4.5 grams. An exact weight must be obtained (within 1 percent) for each sample. In the case of suspension 
resins, a volumetric cup can be prepared for holding the required amount 
of sample. When the cup is used, open the sample bottle, and add the cup 
volume of resin to the tared sample vial (tared, including septum and 
aluminum cap). Obtain the exact sample weight, add 100 ml or about two 
equal drops of water, and immediately seal the vial. Report this value 
on the data sheet; it is required for calculation of RVCM. In the case 
of dispersion resins, the cup cannot be used. Weigh the sample in an 
aluminum dish, transfer the sample to the tared vial, and accurately 
weigh it in the vial. After prepressurization of the samples, condition 
them for a minimum of 1 hour in the 90 [deg]C (190 [deg]F) bath. Do not 
exceed 5 hours. Prepressurization is not required if the sample weight, 
as analyzed, does not exceed 0.2 gram. It is also not required if 
solution of the prepressurization equation yields an absolute 
prepressurization value that is within 30 percent of the atmospheric 
pressure.

    Note: Some aluminum vial caps have a center section that must be 
removed prior to placing into sample tray. If the cap is not removed, 
the injection needle will be damaged.

    11.7.2 Suspension Resin Slurry and Wet Cake Samples. Decant the 
water from a wet cake sample, and turn the sample bottle upside down 
onto a paper towel. Wait for the water to drain, place approximately 0.2 
to 4.0 grams of the wet cake sample in a tared vial (tared, including 
septum and aluminum cap) and seal immediately. Then determine the sample 
weight (1 percent). All samples weighing over 0.2 gram, must be 
prepressurized prior to conditioning for 1 hour at 90 [deg]C (190 
[deg]F), except as noted in Section 11.7.1. A sample of wet cake is used 
to determine total solids (TS). This is required for calculating the 
RVCM.
    11.7.3 Dispersion Resin Slurry and Latex Samples. The materials 
should not be filtered. Sample must be thoroughly mixed. Using a tared 
vial (tared, including septum and aluminum cap) add approximately eight 
drops (0.25 to 0.35 g) of slurry or latex using a medicine dropper. This 
should be done immediately after mixing. Seal the vial as soon as 
possible. Determine sample weight (1 percent). Condition the vial for 1 
hour at 90 [deg]C (190 [deg]F) in the analyzer bath. Determine the TS on 
the slurry sample (Section 11.10).
    11.7.4 In-process Wastewater Samples. Using a tared vial (tared, 
including septum

[[Page 284]]

and aluminum cap) quickly add approximately 1 cc of water using a 
medicine dropper. Seal the vial as soon as possible. Determine sample 
weight (1 percent). Condition the vial for 1 hour at 90 [deg]C (190 
[deg]F) in the analyzer bath.
    11.8 Preparation of Sample Turntable.
    11.8.1 Before placing any sample into turntable, be certain that the 
center section of the aluminum cap has been removed. The numbered sample 
vials should be placed in the corresponding numbered positions in the 
turntable. Insert samples in the following order:
    11.8.1.1 Positions 1 and 2. Old 2000-ppm standards for conditioning. 
These are necessary only after the analyzer has not been used for 24 
hours or longer.
    11.8.1.2 Position 3. 50-ppm standard, freshly prepared.
    11.8.1.3 Position 4. 500-ppm standard, freshly prepared.
    11.8.1.4 Position 5. 2000-ppm standard, freshly prepared.
    11.8.1.5 Position 6. 4000-ppm standard, freshly prepared.
    11.8.1.6 Position 7. Sample No. 7 (This is the first sample of the 
day, but is given as 7 to be consistent with the turntable and the 
integrator printout.)
    11.8.2 After all samples have been positioned, insert the second set 
of 50-, 500-, 2000-, and 4000-ppm standards. Samples, including 
standards, must be conditioned in the bath of 90 [deg]C (190 [deg]F) for 
a minimum of one hour and a maximum of five hours.
    11.9 Start Chromatograph Program. When all samples, including 
standards, have been conditioned at 90 [deg]C (190 [deg]F) for at least 
one hour, start the analysis program according to the manufacturer's 
instructions. These instructions must be carefully followed when 
starting and stopping a program to prevent damage to the dosing 
assembly.
    11.10 Determination of Total Solids. For wet cake, slurry, resin 
solution, and PVC latex samples, determine TS for each sample by 
accurately weighing approximately 3 to 4 grams of sample in an aluminum 
pan before and after placing in a draft oven (105 to 110 [deg]C (221 to 
230 [deg]F)). Samples must be dried to constant weight. After first 
weighing, return the pan to the oven for a short period of time, and 
then reweigh to verify complete dryness. The TS are then calculated as 
the final sample weight divided by initial sample weight.

Method 107A--Determination of Vinyl Chloride Content of Solvents, Resin-
Solvent Solution, Polyvinyl Chloride Resin, Resin Slurry, Wet Resin, and 
                              Latex Samples

Introduction

    Performance of this method should not be attempted by persons 
unfamiliar with the operation of a gas chromatograph (GC) or by those 
who are unfamiliar with source sampling because knowledge beyond the 
scope of this presentation is required. Care must be exercised to 
prevent exposure of sampling personnel to vinyl chloride, a carcinogen.

1. Applicability and Principle

    1.1 Applicability. This is an alternative method and applies to the 
measurement of the vinyl chloride content of solvents, resin solvent 
solutions, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin, wet cake slurries, latex, and 
fabricated resin samples. This method is not acceptable where methods 
from Section 304(h) of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251et seq., (the 
Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 as amended by the 
Clean Water Act of 1977) are required.
    1.2 Principle. The basis for this method lies in the direct 
injection of a liquid sample into a chromatograph and the subsequent 
evaporation of all volatile material into the carrier gas stream of the 
chromatograph, thus permitting analysis of all volatile material 
including vinyl chloride.

2. Range and Sensitivity

    The lower limit of detection of vinyl chloride in dry PVC resin is 
0.2 ppm. For resin solutions, latexes, and wet resin, this limit rises 
inversely as the nonvolatile (resin) content decreases.
    With proper calibration, the upper limit may be extended as needed.

3. Interferences

    The chromatograph columns and the corresponding operating parameters 
herein described normally provide an adequate resolution of vinyl 
chloride. In cases where resolution interferences are encountered, the 
chromatograph operator shall select the column and operating parameters 
best suited to his

[[Page 286]]

particular analysis problem, subject to the approval of the 
Administrator. Approval is automatic, provided that the tester produces 
confirming data through an adequate supplemental analytical technique, 
such as analysis with a different column or GC/mass spectroscopy, and 
has the data available for review by the Administrator.

4. Precision and Reproducibility

    A standard sample of latex containing 181.8 ppm vinyl chloride 
analyzed 10 times by the alternative method showed a standard deviation 
of 7.5 percent and a mean error of 0.21 percent.
    A sample of vinyl chloride copolymer resin solution was analyzed 10 
times by the alternative method and showed a standard deviation of 6.6 
percent at a level of 35 ppm.

5. Safety

    Do not release vinyl chloride to the laboratory atmosphere during 
preparation of standards. Venting or purging with vinyl chloride monomer 
(VCM) air mixtures must be held to minimum. When purging is required, 
the vapor must be routed to outside air. Vinyl chloride, even at low-ppm 
levels, must never be vented inside the laboratory.

analysis of vinyl chloride standards are not impaired and that he has 
available for review information confirming that there is adequate 
resolution of the vinyl chloride peak. (Adequate resolution is defined 
as an area overlap of not more than 10 percent of the vinyl chloride 
peak by an interfering peak. Calculation of area overlap is explained in

107A-1. If the chromatogram is comparable to A, the THF should be 
sparged with pure nitrogen for approximately 2 hours using the fritted 
glass sparger to attempt to remove the interfering peak. Reanalyze the 
sparged THF to determine whether the THF is acceptable for use. If the 
scan is comparable to B, the THF should be acceptable for use in the 
analysis.

    7.2 Calibration. The following item is required:
    7.2.1 Vinyl Chloride 99.9 Percent. Ideal Gas Products lecture

8. Procedure

    8.1 Sampling. Allow the liquid or dried resin to flow from a tap on 
the tank, silo, or pipeline until the tap has been purged. Fill a wide-
mouth pint bottle, and immediately tightly cap the bottle. Place an 
identifying label on each bottle and record the date, time, sample 
location, and material.
    8.2 Sample Treatment. Sample must be run within 24 hours.
    8.2.1 Resin Samples. Weigh 9.00 0.01 g of THF 
or DMAC in a tared 20-ml vial. Add 1.00 0.01 g of 
resin to the tared vial containing the THF or DMAC. Close the vial 
tightly with the screw cap, and shake or otherwise agitate the vial 
until complete solution of the resin is obtained. Shaking may require 
several minutes to several hours, depending on the nature of the resin.
    8.2.2 Suspension Resin Slurry and Wet Resin Sample. Slurry must be 
filtered using a small Buchner funnel with vacuum to yield a wet resin 
sample. The filtering process must be continued only as long as a steady 
stream of water is exiting from the funnel. Excessive filtration time 
could result in some loss of VCM. The wet resin sample is weighed into a 
tared 20-ml vial with THF or DMAC as described earlier for resin samples 
(8.2.1) and treated the same as the resin sample. A sample of the wet 
resin is used to determine total solids as required for calculating the 
residual VCM (Section 8.3.4).
    8.2.3 Latex and Resin Solvent Solutions. Samples must be thoroughly 
mixed. Weigh 1.00 0.01 g of the latex or resin-
solvent solution into a 20-ml vial containing 9.00 0.01 g of THF or DMAC as for the resin samples (8.2.1). 
Cap and shake until complete solution is obtained. Determine the total 
solids of the latex or resin solution sample (Section 8.3.4).
    8.2.4 Solvents and Non-viscous Liquid Samples. No preparation of 
these samples is required. The neat samples are injected directly into 
the GC.
    8.3 Analysis.
    8.3.1 Preparation of GC. Install the chromatographic column, and 
condition overnight at 70 [deg]C. Do not connect the exit end of the 
column to the detector while conditioning.
    8.3.1.1 Flow Rate Adjustments. Adjust the flow rate as follows:
    a. Nitrogen Carrier Gas. Set regulator on cylinder to read 60 psig. 
Set column flow controller on the chromatograph using the soap film 
flowmeter to yield a flow rate of 40 cc/min.
    b. Burner Air Supply. Set regulator on the cylinder at 40 psig. Set 
regulator on the chromatograph to supply air to the burner to yield a 
flow rate of 250 to 300 cc/min using the flowmeter.
    c. Hydrogen. Set regulator on cylinder to read 60 psig. Set 
regulator on the chromatograph to supply 30 to 40 cc/min using the 
flowmeter. Optimize hydrogen flow to yield the most sensitive detector 
response without extinguishing the flame. Check flow with flowmeter and 
record this flow.

[[Page 288]]

    d. Nitrogen Back Flush Gas. Set regulator on the chromatograph using 
the soap film flowmeter to yield a flow rate of 40 cc/min.
    8.3.1.2 Temperature Adjustments. Set temperature as follows:
    a. Oven (chromatographic column) at 70 [deg]C.
    b. Injection Port at 100 [deg]C.
    c. Detector at 300 [deg]C.
    8.3.1.3 Ignition of Flame Ionization Detector. Ignite the detector 
according to the manufacturer's instructions. Allow system to stabilize 
approximately 1 hour.
    8.3.1.4 Recorder. Set pen at zero and start chart drive.
    8.3.1.5 Attenuation. Set attenuation to yield desired peak height 
depending on sample VCM content.
    8.3.2 Chromatographic Analyses.
    a. Sample Injection. Remove needle from 50-microliter syringe. Open 
sample vial and draw 50-microliters of THF or DMAC sample recovery 
solution into the syringe. Recap sample vial. Attach needle to the 
syringe and while holding the syringe vertically (needle uppermost), 
eject 40 microliters into an absorbent tissue. Wipe needle with tissue. 
Now inject 10 microliters into chromatograph system. Repeat the 
injection until two consecutive values for the height of the vinyl 
chloride peak do not vary more than 5 percent. Use the average value for 
these two peak heights to compute the sample concentration.
    b. Back Flush. After 4 minutes has elapsed after sample injection, 
actuate the back flush valve to purge the first 4 feet of the 
chromatographic column of solvent and other high boilers.
    c. Sample Data. Record on the chromatograph strip chart the data 
from the sample label.
    d. Elution Time. Vinyl chloride elutes at 2.8 minutes. Acetaldehyde 
elutes at 3.7 minutes. Analysis is considered complete when chart pen 
becomes stable. After 5 minutes, reset back flush valve and inject next 
sample.
    8.3.3 Chromatograph Servicing.
    a. Septum. Replace after five sample injections.
    b. Sample Port Liner. Replace the sample port liner with a clean 
spare after five sample injections.
    c. Chromatograph Shutdown. If the chromatograph has been shut down 
overnight, rerun one or more samples from the preceding day to test 
stability and precision prior to starting on the current day's work.
    8.3.4 Determination of Total Solids (TS). For wet resin, resin 
solution, and PVC latex samples, determine the TS for each sample by 
accurately weighing approximately 3 to 5 grams of sample into a tared 
aluminum pan. The initial procedure is as follows:
    a. Where water is the major volatile component: Tare the weighing 
dish, and add 3 to 5 grams of sample to the dish. Weigh to the nearest 
milligram.
    b. Where volatile solvent is the major volatile component: Transfer 
a portion of the sample to a 20-ml screw cap vial and cap immediately. 
Weigh the vial to the nearest milligram. Uncap the vial and transfer a 
3- to 5-gram portion of the sample to a tared aluminum weighing dish. 
Recap the vial and reweigh to the nearest milligram. The vial weight 
loss is the sample weight.
    To continue, place the weighing pan in a 130 [deg]C oven for 1 hour. 
Remove the dish and allow to cool to room temperature in a desiccator. 
Weigh the pan to the nearest 0.1 mg. Total solids is the weight of 
material in the aluminum pan after heating divided by the net weight of 
sample added to the pan originally times 100.

9. Calibration of the Chromatograph

    9.1 Preparation of Standards. Prepare a 1 percent by weight 
(approximate) solution of vinyl chloride in THF or DMAC by bubbling 
vinyl chloride gas from a cylinder into a tared 125-ml glass-stoppered 
flask containing THF or DMAC. The weight of vinyl chloride to be added 
should be calculated prior to this operation, i.e., 1 percent of the 
weight of THF or DMAC contained in the tared flask. This must be carried 
out in a laboratory hood. Adjust the vinyl chloride flow from the 
cylinder so that the vinyl chloride dissolves essentially completely in 
the THF or DMAC and is not blown to the atmosphere. Take particular care 
not to volatize any of the solution. Stopper the flask and swirl the 
solution to effect complete mixing. Weigh the stoppered flask to nearest 
0.1 mg to determine the exact amount of vinyl chloride added.
    Pipet 10 ml of the approximately 1 percent solution into a 100-ml 
glass-stoppered volumetric flask, and add THF or DMAC to fill to the 
mark. Cap the flask and invert 10 to 20 times. This solution contains 
approximately 1,000 ppm by weight of vinyl chloride (note the exact 
concentration).
    Pipet 50-, 10-, 5-, 1-, 0.5-, and 0.1-ml aliquots of the 
approximately 1,000 ppm solution into 10 ml glass stoppered volumetric 
flasks. Dilute to the mark with THF or DMAC, cap the flasks and invert 
each 10 to 20 times. These solutions contain approximately 500, 100, 50, 
10, 5, and 1 ppm vinyl chloride. Note the exact concentration of each 
one. These standards are to be kept under refrigeration in stoppered 
bottles, and must be renewed every 3 months.
    9.2 Preparation of Chromatograph Calibration Curve.
    Obtain the GC for each of the six final solutions prepared in 
Section 9.1 by using the procedure in Section 8.3.2. Prepare a chart 
plotting peak height obtained from the chromatogram of each solution 
versus the known concentration. Draw a straight line through

[[Page 289]]

the points derived by the least squares method.

10. Calculations

    10.1 Response Factor. From the calibration curve described in 
Section 9.2, select the value of Cc that corresponds to 
Hc for each sample. Compute the response factor, 
Rf, for each sample as follows:

where:

Rf = Chromatograph response factor, ppm/mm.
Cc = Concentration of vinyl chloride in the standard sample, 
          ppm.
Hc = Peak height of the standard sample, mm.

of inorganic As emissions from stationary sources as specified in an 
applicable subpart of the regulations.
    1.3 Data Quality Objectives. Adherence to the requirements of this 
method will enhance the quality of the data obtained from air pollutant 
sampling methods.

                          2.0 Summary of Method

    Particulate and gaseous As emissions are withdrawn isokinetically 
from the source and are collected on a glass mat filter and in water. 
The collected arsenic is then analyzed by means of atomic absorption 
spectrophotometry (AAS).

                       3.0 Definitions. [Reserved]

                            4.0 Interferences

    Analysis for As by flame AAS is sensitive to the chemical 
composition and to the physical properties (e.g., viscosity, pH) of the 
sample. The analytical procedure includes a check for matrix effects 
(Section 11.5).

       8.0 Sample Collection, Preservation, Transport, and Storage

    8.1 Pretest Preparation. Follow the general procedure given in 
Method 5, Section 8.1, except the filter need not be weighed, and the 
200 ml of 0.1N NaOH and Container 4 should be tared to within 0.5 g.
    8.2 Preliminary Determinations. Follow the general procedure given 
in Method 5, Section 8.2, except select the nozzle size to maintain 
isokinetic sampling rates below 28 liters/min (1.0 cfm).
    8.3 Preparation of Sampling Train. Follow the general procedure 
given in Method 5, Section 8.3.
    8.4 Leak-Check Procedures. Same as Method 5, Section 8.4.
    8.5 Sampling Train Operation. Follow the general procedure given in 
Method 5, Section 8.5, except maintain isokinetic sampling flow rates 
below 28 liters/min (1.0 cfm). For each run, record the data required on 
a data sheet similar to the one shown in Figure 108-2.
    8.6 Calculation of Percent Isokinetic. Same as Method 5, Section 
8.6.
    8.7 Sample Recovery. Same as Method 5, Section 8.7, except that 0.1 
N NaOH is used as the cleanup solvent instead of acetone and that the 
impinger water is treated as follows:
    8.7.1 Container Number 4 (Impinger Water). Clean each of the first 
three impingers and connecting glassware in the following manner:
    8.7.1.1 Wipe the impinger ball joints free of silicone grease, and 
cap the joints.
    8.7.1.2 Rotate and agitate each of the first two impingers, using 
the impinger contents as a rinse solution.
    8.7.1.3 Transfer the liquid from the first three impingers to 
Container Number 4. Remove the outlet ball-joint cap, and drain the 
contents through this opening. Do not separate the impinger parts (inner 
and outer tubes) while transferring their contents to the container.
    8.7.1.4 Weigh the contents of Container No. 4 to within 0.5 g. 
Record in the log the weight of liquid along with a notation of any 
color or film observed in the impinger catch. The weight of liquid is 
needed along with the silica gel data to calculate the stack gas 
moisture content.
    Note: Measure and record the total amount of 0.1 N NaOH used for 
rinsing under Sections 8.7.1.5 and 8.7.1.6.
    8.7.1.5 Pour approximately 30 ml of 0.1 NaOH into each of the first 
two impingers, and agitate the impingers. Drain the 0.1 N NaOH through 
the outlet arm of each impinger into Container Number 4. Repeat this 
operation a second time; inspect the impingers for any abnormal 
conditions.
    8.7.1.6 Wipe the ball joints of the glassware connecting the 
impingers and the back half of the filter holder free of silicone 
grease, and rinse each piece of glassware twice with 0.1 N NaOH; 
transfer this rinse into Container Number 4. (DO NOT RINSE or brush the 
glass-fritted filter support.) Mark the height of the fluid level to 
determine whether leakage occurs during transport. Label the container 
to identify clearly its contents.
    8.8 Blanks.
    8.8.1 Sodium Hydroxide. Save a portion of the 0.1 N NaOH used for 
cleanup as a blank. Take 200 ml of this solution directly from the wash 
bottle being used and place it in a plastic sample container labeled 
``NaOH blank.''
    8.8.2 Water. Save a sample of the water, and place it in a container 
labeled ``H2O blank.''
    8.8.3 Filter. Save two filters from each lot of filters used in 
sampling. Place these filters in a container labeled ``filter blank.''

    9.2 Volume Metering System Checks. Same as Method 5, Section 9.2.

                  10.0 Calibration and Standardization

    Note: Maintain a laboratory log of all calibrations.
    10.1 Sampling Equipment. Same as Method 5, Section 10.0.
    10.2 Preparation of Standard Solutions.
    10.2.1 For the high level procedure, pipet 1, 3, 5, 8, and 10 ml of 
the 1.0 mg As/ml stock solution into separate 100 ml volumetric flasks, 
each containing 5 ml of concentrated HNO3. Dilute to the mark 
with water.
    10.2.2 For the low level vapor generator procedure, pipet 1, 2, 3, 
and 5 ml of 1.0 [micro]g As/ml standard solution into separate reaction 
tubes. Dilute to the mark with water.
    10.2.3 For the low level graphite furnace procedure, pipet 1, 5, 10 
and 15 ml of 1.0 [micro]g As/ml standard solution into separate flasks 
along with 2 ml of the 5 percent nickel nitrate solution and 10 ml of 
the 3 percent H2O2 solution. Dilute to the mark 
with water.
    10.3 Calibration Curve. Analyze a 0.8 N HNO3 blank and 
each standard solution according to the procedures outlined in section 
11.4.1. Repeat this procedure on each standard solution until two 
consecutive peaks agree within 3 percent of their average value. 
Subtract the average peak height (or peak area) of the blank--which must 
be less than 2 percent of recorder full scale--from the averaged peak 
height of each standard solution. If the blank absorbance is greater 
than 2 percent of full-scale, the probable cause is As contamination of 
a reagent or carry-over of As from a previous sample. Prepare the 
calibration curve by plotting the corrected peak height of each standard 
solution versus the corresponding final total As weight in the solution.
    10.4 Spectrophotometer Calibration Quality Control. Calculate the 
least squares slope of the calibration curve. The line must pass through 
the origin or through a point no further from the origin than 2 percent of the recorder full scale. Multiply the 
corrected peak height by the reciprocal of the least squares slope to 
determine the distance each calibration point lies from the theoretical 
calibration line. The difference between the calculated concentration 
values and the actual concentrations (e.g., 1, 3, 5, 8, and 10 mg As for 
the high-level procedure) must be less than 7 percent for all standards.
    Note: For instruments equipped with direct concentration readout 
devices, preparation of a standard curve will not be necessary. In all 
cases, follow calibration and operational procedures in the 
manufacturers' instruction manual.

                        11.0 Analytical Procedure

    11.1 Sample Loss Check. Prior to analysis, check the liquid level in 
Containers Number 2 and Number 4. Note on the analytical data sheet 
whether leakage occurred during transport. If a noticeable amount of 
leakage occurred, either void the sample or take steps, subject to the 
approval of the Administrator, to adjust the final results.
    11.2 Sample Preparation.
    11.2.1 Container Number 1 (Filter). Place the filter and loose 
particulate matter in a 150 ml beaker. Also, add the filtered solid 
material from Container Number 2 (see Section 11.2.2). Add 50 ml of 0.1 
N NaOH. Then stir and warm on a hot plate at low heat (do not boil) for 
about 15 minutes. Add 10 ml of concentrated HNO3, bring to a 
boil, then simmer for about 15 minutes. Filter the solution through a 
glass fiber filter. Wash with hot water, and catch the filtrate in a 
clean 150 ml beaker. Boil the filtrate, and evaporate to dryness. Cool, 
add 5 ml of 50 percent HNO3, and then warm and stir. Allow to 
cool. Transfer to a 50-ml volumetric flask, dilute to volume with water, 
and mix well.
    11.2.2 Container Number 2 (Probe Wash).
    11.2.2.1 Filter (using a glass fiber filter) the contents of 
Container Number 2 into a 200 ml volumetric flask. Combine the filtered 
(solid) material with the contents of Container Number 1 (Filter).
    11.2.2.2 Dilute the filtrate to exactly 200 ml with water. Then 
pipet 50 ml into a 150 ml beaker. Add 10 ml of concentrated 
HNO3, bring to a boil, and evaporate to dryness. Allow to 
cool, add 5 ml of 50 percent HNO3, and then warm and stir. 
Allow the solution to cool, transfer to a 50-ml volumetric flask, dilute 
to volume with water, and mix well.
    11.2.3 Container Number 4 (Impinger Solution). Transfer the contents 
of Container Number 4 to a 500 ml volumetric flask, and

[[Page 293]]

dilute to exactly 500-ml with water. Pipet 50 ml of the solution into a 
150-ml beaker. Add 10 ml of concentrated HNO3, bring to a 
boil, and evaporate to dryness. Allow to cool, add 5 ml of 50 percent 
HNO3, and then warm and stir. Allow the solution to cool, 
transfer to a 50-ml volumetric flask, dilute to volume with water, and 
mix well.
    11.2.4 Filter Blank. Cut each filter into strips, and treat each 
filter individually as directed in Section 11.2.1, beginning with the 
sentence, ``Add 50 ml of 0.1 N NaOH.''
    11.2.5 Sodium Hydroxide and Water Blanks. Treat separately 50 ml of 
0.1 N NaOH and 50 ml water, as directed under Section 11.2.3, beginning 
with the sentence, ``Pipet 50 ml of the solution into a 150-ml beaker.''
    11.3 Spectrophotometer Preparation. Turn on the power; set the 
wavelength, slit width, and lamp current. Adjust the background 
corrector as instructed by the manufacturer's manual for the particular 
atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Adjust the burner and flame 
characteristics as necessary.
    11.4 Analysis. Calibrate the analytical equipment and develop a 
calibration curve as outlined in Sections 10.2 through 10.4.
    11.4.1 Arsenic Samples. Analyze an appropriately sized aliquot of 
each diluted sample (from Sections 11.2.1 through 11.2.3) until two 
consecutive peak heights agree within 3 percent of their average value. 
If applicable, follow the procedures outlined in Section 11.4.1.1. If 
the sample concentration falls outside the range of the calibration 
curve, make an appropriate dilution with 0.8 N HNO3 so that 
the final concentration falls within the range of the curve. Using the 
calibration curve, determine the arsenic concentration in each sample 
fraction.

    Note: Because instruments vary between manufacturers, no detailed 
operating instructions will be given here. Instead, the instrument 
manufacturer's detailed operating instructions should be followed.

    11.4.1.1 Arsenic Determination at Low Concentration. The lower limit 
of flame AAS is 10 [micro]g As/ml. If the arsenic concentration of any 
sample is at a lower level, use the graphite furnace or vapor generator 
which is available as an accessory component. Flame, graphite furnace, 
or vapor generators may be used for samples whose concentrations are 
between 10 and 30 [micro]g/ml. Follow the manufacturer's instructions in 
the use of such equipment.
    11.4.1.1.1 Vapor Generator Procedure. Place a sample containing 
between 0 and 5 [micro]g of arsenic in the reaction tube, and dilute to 
15 ml with water. Since there is some trial and error involved in this 
procedure, it may be necessary to screen the samples by conventional 
atomic absorption until an approximate concentration is determined. 
After determining the approximate concentration, adjust the volume of 
the sample accordingly. Pipet 15 ml of concentrated HCl into each tube. 
Add 1 ml of 30 percent KI solution. Place the reaction tube into a 50 
[deg]C (120 [deg]F) water bath for 5 minutes. Cool to room temperature. 
Connect the reaction tube to the vapor generator assembly. When the 
instrument response has returned to baseline, inject 5.0 ml of 5 percent 
NaBH4, and integrate the resulting spectrophotometer signal 
over a 30-second time period.
    11.4.1.1.2 Graphite Furnace Procedure. Dilute the digested sample so 
that a 5 ml aliquot contains less than 1.5 [micro]g of arsenic. Pipet 5 
ml of this digested solution into a 10-ml volumetric flask. Add 1 ml of 
the 1 percent nickel nitrate solution, 0.5 ml of 50 percent 
HNO3, and 1 ml of the 3 percent hydrogen peroxide and dilute 
to 10 ml with water. The sample is now ready for analysis.
    11.4.1.2 Run a blank (0.8 N HNO3) and standard at least 
after every five samples to check the spectrophotometer calibration. The 
peak height of the blank must pass through a point no further from the 
origin than 2 percent of the recorder full scale. 
The difference between the measured concentration of the standard (the 
product of the corrected average peak height and the reciprocal of the 
least squares slope) and the actual concentration of the standard must 
be less than 7 percent, or recalibration of the analyzer is required.
    11.4.1.3 Determine the arsenic concentration in the filter blank 
(i.e., the average of the two blank values from each lot).
    11.4.2 Container Number 3 (Silica Gel). This step may be conducted 
in the field. Weigh the spent silica gel (or silica gel plus impinger) 
to the nearest 0.5 g; record this weight.
    11.5 Check for matrix effects on the arsenic results. Same as Method 
12, Section 11.5.

                  10.0 Calibration and Standardizations

    Note: Maintain a laboratory log of all calibrations.
    10.1 Preparation of Standard Solutions. Pipet 1, 5, 10, and 25 ml of 
the stock As solution into separate 100-ml volumetric flasks. Add 10 ml 
KCl solution and dilute to the mark with 0.5 N HNO3. This 
will give standard concentrations of 10, 50, 100, and 250 [micro]g As/
ml. For low-level arsenic samples that require the use of a graphite 
furnace or vapor generator, follow the procedures in Section 11.3:1. 
Dilute 10 ml of KCl solution to 100 ml with 0.5 N HNO3 and 
use as a reagent blank.
    10.2 Calibration Curve. Analyze the reagent blank and each standard 
solution according to the procedures outlined in Section 11.3. Repeat 
this procedure on each standard solution until two consecutive peaks 
agree within 3 percent of their average value. Subtract the average peak 
height (or peak area) of the blank--which must be less than 2 percent of 
recorder full scale--from the averaged peak heights of each standard 
solution. If the blank absorbance is greater than 2 percent of full-
scale, the probable cause is Hg contamination of a reagent or carry-over 
of As from a previous sample. Prepare the calibration curve by plotting 
the corrected peak height of each standard solution versus the

[[Page 300]]

corresponding final total As weight in the solution.
    10.3 Spectrophotometer Calibration Quality Control. Calculate the 
least squares slope of the calibration curve. The line must pass through 
the origin or through a point no further from the origin than 2 percent of the recorder full scale. Multiply the 
corrected peak height by the reciprocal of the least squares slope to 
determine the distance each calibration point lies from the theoretical 
calibration line. The difference between the calculated concentration 
values and the actual concentrations must be less than 7 percent for all 
standards.
    Note: For instruments equipped with direct concentration readout 
devices, preparation of a standard curve will not be necessary. In all 
cases, follow calibration and operational procedures in the 
manufacturer's instruction manual.

                        11.0 Analytical Procedure

    11.1 Sample Preparation. Weigh 50 to 500 mg of finely pulverized 
sample to the nearest 0.1 mg. Transfer the sample into the Teflon cup of 
the digestion bomb, and add 2 ml each of concentrated HNO3 
and HF. Seal the bomb immediately to prevent the loss of any volatile 
arsenic compounds that may form. Heat in an oven at 105 [deg]C (221 
[deg]F) for 2 hours. Remove the bomb from the oven and allow to cool. 
Using a Teflon filter, quantitatively filter the digested sample into a 
50-ml polypropylene volumetric flask. Rinse the bomb three times with 
small portions of 0.5 N HNO3, and filter the rinses into the 
flask. Add 5 ml of KCl solution to the flask, and dilute to 50 ml with 
0.5 N HNO3.
    11.2 Spectrophotometer Preparation.
    11.2.1 Turn on the power; set the wavelength, slit width, and lamp 
current. Adjust the background corrector as instructed by the 
manufacturer's manual for the particular atomic absorption 
spectrophotometer. Adjust the burner and flame characteristics as 
necessary.
    11.2.2 Develop a spectrophotometer calibration curve as outlined in 
Sections 10.2 and 10.3.
    11.3 Arsenic Determination. Analyze an appropriately sized aliquot 
of each diluted sample (from Section 11.1) until two consecutive peak 
heights agree within 3 percent of their average value. If applicable, 
follow the procedures outlined in Section 11.3.1. If the sample 
concentration falls outside the range of the calibration curve, make an 
appropriate dilution with 0.5 N HNO3 so that the final 
concentration falls within the range of the curve. Using the calibration 
curve, determine the As concentration in each sample.
    Note: Because instruments vary between manufacturers, no detailed 
operating instructions will be given here. Instead, the instrument 
manufacturer's detailed operating instructions should be followed.
    11.3.1 Arsenic Determination at Low Concentration. The lower limit 
of flame AAS is 10 [micro]g As/ml. If the arsenic concentration of any 
sample is at a lower level, use the vapor generator or graphite furnace 
which is available as an accessory component. Flame, graphite furnace, 
or vapor generators may be used for samples whose concentrations are 
between 10 and 30 [micro]g/ml. Follow the manufacturer's instructions in 
the use of such equipment.
    11.3.1.1 Vapor Generator Procedure. Place a sample containing 
between 0 and 5 [micro]g of arsenic in the reaction tube, and dilute to 
15 ml with water. Since there is some trial and error involved in this 
procedure, it may be necessary to screen the samples by conventional AAS 
until an approximate concentration is determined. After determining the 
approximate concentration, adjust the volume of the sample accordingly. 
Pipet 15 ml of concentrated HCl into each tube. Add 1 ml of 30 percent 
KI solution. Place the reaction tube into a 50 [deg]C (120 [deg]F) water 
bath for 5 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Connect the reaction tube 
to the vapor generator assembly. When the instrument response has 
returned to baseline, inject 5.0 ml of 5 percent NaBH4 and 
integrate the resulting spectrophotometer signal over a 30-second time 
period.
    11.3.1.2 Graphite Furnace Procedure. Pipet 5 ml of the digested 
solution into a 10-ml volumetric flask. Add 1 ml of the 1 percent nickel 
nitrate solution, 0.5 ml of 50 percent HNO3, and 1 ml of the 
3 percent H2O2, and dilute to 10 ml with water. 
The sample is now ready to inject in the furnace for analysis.
    11.4 Run a blank and standard at least after every five samples to 
check the spectrophotometer calibration. The peak height of the blank 
must pass through a point no further from the origin than 2 percent of the recorder full scale. The difference 
between the measured concentration of the standard (the product of the 
corrected average peak height and the reciprocal of the least squares 
slope) and the actual concentration of the standard must be less than 7 
percent, or recalibration of the analyzer is required.
    11.5 Mandatory Check for Matrix Effects on the Arsenic Results. Same 
as Method 12, Section 11.5.

                   12.0 Data Analysis and Calculations

    12.1 Calculate the percent arsenic in the ore sample as follows:

    16.1 Alternative Analyzer. Inductively coupled plasma-atomic 
emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) may be used as an alternative to atomic 
absorption analysis provided the following conditions are met:
    16.1.1 Sample collection, sample preparation, and analytical 
preparation procedures are as defined in the method except as necessary 
for the ICP-AES application.
    16.1.2 Quality Assurance/Quality Control procedures, including audit 
material analysis, are conducted as prescribed in the method. The QA 
acceptance conditions must be met.
    16.1.3 The limit of quantitation for the ICP-AES must be 
demonstrated and the sample concentrations reported should be no less 
than two times the limit of quantitation. The limit of quantitation is 
defined as ten times the standard deviation of the blank value. The 
standard deviation of the blank value is determined from the analysis of 
seven blanks. It has been reported that for mercury and those elements 
that form hydrides, a continuous-flow generator coupled to an ICP-AES 
offers detection limits comparable to cold vapor atomic absorption.

                  10.0 Calibration and Standardization

    Note: Maintain a laboratory log of all calibrations.
    10.1 Preparation of Standard Solutions. Pipet 1, 5, 10, and 25 ml of 
the stock As solution into separate 100-ml volumetric flasks. Add 2 ml 
of HClO4, 10 ml of HCl, and dilute to the mark with water. 
This will provide standard concentrations of 10, 50, 100, and 250 
[micro]g As/ml.
    10.2 Calibration Curve and Spectrophotometer Calibration Quality 
Control. Same as Method 108A, Sections 10.2 and 10.3

                        11.0 Analytical Procedure

    11.1 Sample Preparation. Weigh 100 to 1000 mg of finely pulverized 
sample to the nearest 0.1 mg. Transfer the sample to a 150-ml Teflon 
beaker. Dissolve the sample by adding 15 ml of HNO3, 10 ml of 
HCl, 10 ml of HF, and 10 ml of HClO4 in the exact order as 
described, and let stand for 10 minutes. In a HClO4 fume 
hood, heat on a hot plate until 2-3 ml of HClO4 remain, then 
cool. Add 20 ml of water and 10 ml of HCl. Cover and warm until the 
soluble salts are in solution. Cool, and transfer quantitatively to a 
100-ml volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark with water.
    11.2 Spectrophotometer Preparation. Same as in Method 108A, Section 
11.2.
    11.3 Arsenic Determination. If the sample concentration falls 
outside the range of the calibration curve, make an appropriate dilution 
with 2 percent HClO4/10 percent HCl (prepared by diluting 2 
ml concentrated HClO4 and 10 ml concentrated HCl to 100 ml 
with water) so that the final concentration falls within the range of 
the curve. Using the calibration curve, determine the As concentration 
in each sample.
    Note: Because instruments vary between manufacturers, no detailed 
operating instructions will be given here. Instead, the instrument 
manufacturer's detailed operating instructions should be followed.
    Run a blank and standard at least after every five samples to check 
the spectrophotometer calibration. The peak height of the blank must 
pass through a point no further from the origin than 2 percent of the recorder full scale. The difference 
between the measured concentration of the standard (the product of the 
corrected average peak height and the reciprocal of the least squares 
slope) and the actual concentration of the standard must be less than 7 
percent, or recalibration of the analyzer is required.
    11.4 Mandatory Check for Matrix Effects on the Arsenic Results. Same 
as Method 12, Section 11.5.

                  10.0 Calibration and Standardizations

    Note: Maintain a laboratory log of all calibrations.
    10.1 Preparation of Standard Solutions. Transfer 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0, 
12.0, 16.0, and 20.0 ml of standard arsenic solution (10 [micro]g/ml) to 
each of seven 50-ml volumetric flasks. Dilute to 20 ml with dilute HCl. 
Add one drop of methyl orange solution and neutralize to the yellow 
color with dropwise addition of NH4OH. Just bring back to the 
red color by dropwise addition of dilute HCl, and add 10 ml in excess. 
Proceed with the color development as described in Section 11.2.
    10.2 Calibration Curve. Plot the spectrophotometric readings of the 
calibration solutions against [micro]g As per 50 ml of solution. Use 
this curve to determine the As concentration of each sample.
    10.3 Spectrophotometer Calibration Quality Control. Calculate the 
least squares slope of the calibration curve. The line must pass through 
the origin or through a point no further from the origin than 2 percent of the recorder full scale. Multiply the 
corrected peak height by the reciprocal of the least squares slope to 
determine the distance each calibration point lies from the theoretical 
calibration line. The difference between the calculated concentration 
values and the actual concentrations must be less than 7 percent for all 
standards.

                        11.0 Analytical Procedure

    11.1 Sample Preparation.
    11.1.1 Weigh 1.0 g of finely pulverized sample to the nearest 0.1 
mg. Transfer the sample to a 300 ml Erlenmeyer flask and add 15 ml of 
HNO3, 4 ml HCl, 2 ml HF, 3 ml HClO4, and 15 ml 
H2SO4, in the order listed. In a HClO4 
fume hood, heat on a hot plate to decompose the sample. Then heat while 
swirling over an open flame until dense white fumes evolve. Cool, add 15 
ml of water, swirl to hydrate the H2SO4 
completely, and add several boiling granules. Cool to room temperature.
    11.1.2 Add 1 g of KBr, 1 g hydrazine sulfate, and 50 ml HCl. 
Immediately attach the distillation head with thermometer and dip the 
side arm into a 50-ml graduated cylinder containing 25 ml of water and 2 
ml of bromine water. Keep the graduated cylinder immersed in a beaker of 
cold water during distillation. Distill until the temperature of the 
vapor in the flask reaches 107 [deg]C (225 [deg]F). When distillation is 
complete, remove the flask from the hot plate, and simultaneously wash 
down the side arm with water as it is removed from the cylinder.
    11.1.3 If the expected arsenic content is in the range of 0.0020 to 
0.10 percent, dilute the distillate to the 50-ml mark of the cylinder 
with water, stopper, and mix. Transfer a 5.0-ml aliquot to a 50-ml 
volumetric flask. Add 10 ml of water and a boiling granule. Place the 
flask on a hot plate, and heat gently until the bromine is expelled and 
the color of methyl orange indicator persists upon the addition of 1 to 
2 drops. Cool the flask to room temperature. Neutralize just to the 
yellow color of the indicator with dropwise additions of 
NH4OH. Bring back to the red color by dropwise addition of 
dilute HCl, and add 10 ml excess. Proceed with the molybdenum blue color 
development as described in Section 11.2.
    11.1.4 If the expected arsenic content is in the range of 0.0002 to 
0.0010 percent As, transfer either the entire initial distillate or the 
measured remaining distillate from Section 11.1.2 to a 250-ml beaker. 
Wash the cylinder with two successive portions of concentrated 
HNO3, adding each portion to the distillate in the beaker. 
Add 4 ml of concentrated HClO4, a boiling granule, and cover 
with a flat watch glass placed slightly to one side. Boil gently on a 
hot plate until the volume is reduced to approximately 10 ml. Add 3 ml 
of HNO3, and continue the evaporation until HClO4 
is refluxing on the beaker cover. Cool

[[Page 306]]

briefly, rinse the underside of the watch glass and the inside of the 
beaker with about 3-5 ml of water, cover, and continue the evaporation 
to expel all but 2 ml of the HClO4.

    Note: If the solution appears cloudy due to a small amount of 
antimony distilling over, add 4 ml of 50 percent HCl and 5 ml of water, 
cover, and warm gently until clear. If cloudiness persists, add 5 ml of 
HNO3 and 2 ml H2SO4. Continue the 
evaporation of volatile acids to solubilize the antimony until dense 
white fumes of H2SO4 appear. Retain at least 1 ml 
of the H2SO4.

    11.1.5 To the 2 ml of HClO4 solution or 1 ml of 
H2SO4 solution, add 15 ml of water, boil gently 
for 2 minutes, and then cool. Proceed with the molybdenum blue color 
development by neutralizing the solution directly in the beaker just to 
the yellow indicator color by dropwise addition of NH4OH. 
Obtain the red color by dropwise addition of dilute HCl. Transfer the 
solution to a 50-ml volumetric flask. Rinse the beaker successively with 
10 ml of dilute HCl, followed by several small portions of water. At 
this point the volume of solution in the flask should be no more than 40 
ml. Continue with the color development as described in Section 11.2.
    11.2 Analysis.
    11.2.1 Add 1 ml of KBrO3 solution to the flask and heat 
on a low-temperature hot plate to about 50 [deg]C (122 [deg]F) to 
oxidize the arsenic and methyl orange. Add 5.0 ml of ammonium molybdate 
solution to the warm solution and mix. Add 2.0 ml of hydrazine sulfate 
solution, dilute until the solution comes within the neck of the flask, 
and mix. Place the flask in a 400 ml beaker, 80 percent full of boiling 
water, for 10 minutes. Enough heat must be supplied to prevent the water 
bath from cooling much below the boiling point upon inserting the 
volumetric flask. Remove the flask, cool to room temperature, dilute to 
the mark, and mix.
    11.2.2 Transfer a suitable portion of the reference solution to an 
absorption cell, and adjust the spectrophotometer to the initial setting 
using a light band centered at 660 nm. While maintaining this 
spectrophotometer adjustment, take the readings of the calibration 
solutions followed by the samples.

    1.2 Applicability. This method is applicable for the determination 
of the polonium-210 content of particulate matter samples collected from 
stationary source exhaust stacks, and for the use of these data to 
calculate polonium-210 emissions from individual sources and from all 
affected sources at a facility.
    1.3 Data Quality Objectives. Adherence to the requirements of this 
method will enhance the quality of the data obtained from air pollutant 
sampling methods.

                          2.0 Summary of Method

    A particulate matter sample, collected according to Method 5, is 
analyzed for polonium-210 content: the polonium-210 in the sample is put 
in solution, deposited on a metal disc, and the radioactive 
disintegration rate measured. Polonium in acid solution spontaneously 
deposits on surfaces of metals that are more electropositive than 
polonium. This principle is routinely used in the radiochemical analysis 
of polonium-210. Data reduction procedures are provided, allowing the 
calculation of polonium-210 emissions from individual sources and from 
all

                  10.0 Calibration and Standardization

    10.1 Standardization of Alpha Spectrometry System.
    10.1.1 Add a quantity of the actinide standard solution to a 100 ml 
volumetric flask so that the final concentration when diluted to a 
volume of 100 ml will be approximately 1 pCi/ml.
    10.1.2 Add 10 ml of 16 M HNO3 and dilute to 100 ml with 
water.
    10.1.3 Add 20 ml of 1 M HCl to each of six 150 ml beakers. Add 1.0 
ml of lanthanum carrier, 0.1 mg lanthanum per ml, to the acid solution 
in each beaker.
    10.1.4 Add 1.0 ml of the 1 pCi/ml working solution (from Section 
10.1.1) to each beaker. Add 5.0 ml of 3 M HF to each beaker.
    10.1.5 Cover beakers and allow solutions to stand for a minimum of 
30 minutes. Filter the contents of each beaker through a separate filter 
membrane using the suction filter apparatus. After each filtration, wash 
the filter membrane with 10 ml of distilled water and 5 ml of ethanol, 
and allow the filter membrane to air dry on the filter apparatus.
    10.1.6 Carefully remove the filter membrane and mount it, filtration 
side up, with double-side tape on the inner surface of a planchet. Place 
planchet in an alpha spectrometry system and count each planchet for 
1000 minutes.
    10.1.7 Calculate the counting efficiency of the detector for each 
aliquot of the 1 pCi/ml actinide working solution using Eq. 111-1 in 
Section 12.2.
    10.1.8 Determine the average counting efficiency of the detector, 
Ec, by calculating the average of the six determinations.
    10.2 Preparation of Standardized Solution of Polonium-209.
    10.2.1 Add a quantity of the Po-209 solution to a 100 ml volumetric 
flask so that the final concentration when diluted to a 100 ml volume 
will be approximately 1 pCi/ml.
    10.2.2 Follow the procedures outlined in Sections 10.1.2 through 
10.1.6, except substitute 1.0 ml of polonium-209 tracer solution 
(Section 10.2.1) and 3.0 ml of 15 M ammonium hydroxide for the 1 pCi/ml 
actinide working solution and the 3 M HF, respectively.
    10.2.3 Calculate the activity of each aliquot of the polonium-209 
tracer solution using Eq. 111-2 in Section 12.3.

ml volume will be approximately 100 pCi/ml.
    10.3.2 Follow the procedures outlined in Sections 10.1.2 through 
10.1.6, except substitute the 100 pCi/ml actinide working solution for 
the 1 pCi/ml solution, place the planchet in an internal proportional 
counter (instead of an alpha spectrometry system), and count for 100 
minutes (instead of 1000 minutes).

proportional counter for each aliquot of the 100 pCi/ml actinide working 
solution using Eq. 111-3 in 12.4.

proportional counter, EI, by averaging the results of the six 
determinations.

                        11.0 Analytical Procedure

    Note: Perform duplicate analyses of all samples, including 
background counts and Method 5 samples. Duplicate measurements are 
considered acceptable when the difference between them is less than two 
standard deviations as described in EPA 600/4-77-001 or subsequent 
revisions.
    11.1 Determination of Procedure Background. Background counts used 
in all equations are determined by performing the specific analysis 
required using the analytical reagents only. All procedure background 
counts and sample counts for the internal proportional counter should 
utilize a counting time of 100 minutes; for the alpha spectrometry 
system, 1000 minutes. These background counts should be performed no 
less frequently than once per 10 sample analyses.

[[Page 310]]

    11.2 Determination of Instrument Background. Instrument backgrounds 
of the internal proportional counter and the alpha spectrometry system 
should be determined on a weekly basis. Instrument background should not 
exceed procedure background. If this occurs, it may be due to a 
malfunction or contamination, and should be corrected before use.
    11.4 Sample Preparation. Treat the Method 5 samples [i.e., the glass 
fiber filter (Container No. 1) and the acetone rinse (Container No. 2)] 
as follows:
    11.4.1 Container No. 1. Transfer the filter and any loose 
particulate matter from the sample container to a 150-ml Teflon beaker.
    11.4.2 Container No. 2. Note the level of liquid in the container, 
and confirm on the analysis sheet whether leakage occurred during 
transport. If a noticeable amount of leakage has occurred, either void 
the sample or use methods, subject to the approval of the Administrator, 
to correct the final results. Transfer the contents to a 400-ml glass 
beaker. Add polonium-209 tracer solution to the glass beaker in an 
amount approximately equal to the amount of polonium-210 expected in the 
total particulate sample. Record the activity of the tracer solution 
added. Add 16 M nitric acid to the beaker to digest and loosen the 
residue.
    11.4.3 Transfer the contents of the glass beaker to the Teflon 
beaker containing the glass fiber filter. Rinse the glass beaker with 16 
M HNO3. If necessary, reduce the volume in the beaker by 
evaporation until all of the nitric acid HNO3 from the glass 
beaker has been transferred to the Teflon beaker.
    11.4.4 Add 30 ml of 29 M HF to the Teflon beaker and evaporate to 
near dryness on a hot plate in a properly operating hood.

    Note: Do not allow the residue to go to dryness and overheat; this 
will result in loss of polonium.

    11.4.5 Repeat step 11.4.4 until the filter is dissolved.
    11.4.6 Add 100 ml of 16 M HNO3 to the residue in the 
Teflon beaker and evaporate to near dryness.

    Note: Do not allow the residue to go to dryness.

    11.4.7 Add 50 ml of 16 M HNO3 and 10 ml of 12 M 
perchloric acid to the Teflon beaker and heat until dense fumes of 
perchloric acid are evolved.
    11.4.8 Repeat steps 11.4.4 to 11.4.7 as necessary until sample is 
completely dissolved.
    11.4.9 Add 10 ml of 12 M HCl to the Teflon beaker and evaporate to 
dryness. Repeat additions and evaporations several times.
    11.4.10 Transfer the sample to a 250-ml volumetric flask and dilute 
to volume with 3 M HCl.
    11.5 Sample Screening. To avoid contamination of the alpha 
spectrometry system, check each sample as follows:
    11.5.1 Add 20 ml of 1 M HCl, 1 ml of the lanthanum carrier solution 
(0.1 mg La/ml), a 1 ml aliquot of the sample solution from Section 
11.4.10, and 3 ml of 15 M ammonium hydroxide to a 250-ml beaker in the 
order listed. Allow this solution to stand for a minimum of 30 minutes.
    11.5.2 Filter the solution through a filter membrane using the 
suction filter apparatus. Wash the filter membrane with 10 ml of water 
and 5 ml of ethanol, and allow the filter membrane to air dry on the 
filter apparatus.
    11.5.3 Carefully remove the filter membrane and mount it, filtration 
side up, with double-side tape on the inner surface of a planchet. Place 
the planchet in an internal proportional counter, and count for 100 
minutes.
    11.5.4 Calculate the activity of the sample using Eq. 111-4 in 
Section 12.5.
    11.5.5 Determine the aliquot volume of the sample solution from 
Section 11.4.10 to be analyzed for polonium-210, such that the aliquot 
contains an activity between 1 and 4 picocuries. Use Eq. 111-5 in 
Section 12.6.
    11.6 Preparation of Silver Disc for Spontaneous Electrodeposition.
    11.6.1 Clean both sides of the polished silver disc with silver 
cleaner and with degreaser.
    11.6.2 Place disc on absorbent paper and spray one side with epoxy 
spray enamel. This should be carried out in a well-ventilated area, with 
the disc lying flat to keep paint on one side only. Allow paint to dry 
for 24 hours before using disc for deposition.
    11.7 Sample Analysis.
    11.7.1 Add the aliquot of sample solution from Section 11.4.10 to be 
analyzed for polonium-210, the volume of which was determined in Section 
11.5.5, to a suitable 200-ml container to be placed in a constant 
temperature bath.

    Note: Aliquot volume may require a larger container.

    11.7.2 If necessary, bring the volume to 100 ml with 1 M HCl. If the 
aliquot volume exceeds 100 ml, use total aliquot.
    11.7.3 Add 200 mg of ascorbic acid and heat solution to 85 [deg]C 
(185 [deg]F) in a constant temperature bath.
    11.7.4 Suspend a silver disc in the heated solution using a glass or 
plastic rod with a hook inserted through the hole in the disc. The disc 
should be totally immersed in the solution, and the solution must be 
stirred constantly, at all times during the plating operation. Maintain 
the disc in solution for 3 hours.
    11.7.5 Remove the silver disc, rinse with deionized distilled water, 
and allow to air dry at room temperature.
    11.7.6 Place the disc, with deposition side (unpainted side) up, on 
a planchet and secure

[[Page 311]]

with double-side plastic tape. Place the planchet with disc in alpha 
spectrometry system and count for 1000 minutes.

sample collection methods appropriate for radionuclides; (2) 
radiochemical methods which are used in determining the amounts of 
radionuclides collected by the stack sampling and; (3) quality assurance 
methods which are conducted in conjunction with these measurements. 
These methods are appropriate for emissions for stationary sources. A 
list of references is provided.
    Many different types of facilities release radionuclides into air. 
These radionuclides differ in the chemical and physical forms, half-
lives and type of radiation emitted. The appropriate combination of 
sample extraction, collection and analysis for an individual 
radionuclide is dependent upon many interrelated factors including the 
mixture of other radionuclides present. Because of this wide range of 
conditions, no single method for monitoring or sample collection and 
analysis of a radionuclide is applicable to all types of facilities. 
Therefore, a series of methods based on ``principles of measurement'' 
are described for monitoring and sample collection and analysis which 
are applicable to the measurement of radionuclides found in effluent 
streams at stationary sources. This approach provides the user with the 
flexibility to choose the most appropriate combination of monitoring and 
sample collection and analysis methods which are applicable to the 
effluent stream to be measured.

2. Stack Monitoring and Sample Collection Methods

    Monitoring and sample collection methods are described based on 
``principles of monitoring and sample collection'' which are applicable 
to the measurement of radionuclides from effluent streams at stationary 
sources.

[[Page 314]]

Radionuclides of most elements will be in the particulate form in these 
effluent streams and can be readily collected using a suitable filter 
media. Radionuclides of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, the noble 
gases and in some circumstances iodine will be in the gaseous form. 
Radionuclides of these elements will require either the use of an in-
line or off-line monitor to directly measure the radionuclides, or 
suitable sorbers, condensers or bubblers to collect the radionuclides.
    2.1 Radionuclides as Particulates. The extracted effluent stream is 
passed through a filter media to remove the particulates. The filter 
must have a high efficiency for removal of sub-micron particles. The 
guidance in ANSI/HPS N13.1-1999 (section 6.6.2 Filter media) shall be 
followed in using filter media to collect particulates (incorporated by 
reference--see Sec.61.18 of this part).
    2.2 Radionuclides as Gases.
    2.2.1 The Radionuclide Tritium (H-3). Tritium in the form of water 
vapor is collected from the extracted effluent sample by sorption, 
condensation or dissolution techniques. Appropriate collectors may 
include silica gel, molecular sieves, and ethylene glycol or water 
bubblers.
    Tritium in the gaseous form may be measured directly in the sample 
stream using Method B-1, collected as a gas sample or may be oxidized 
using a metal catalyst to tritiated water and collected as described 
above.
    2.2.2 Radionuclides of Iodine. Iodine is collected from an extracted 
sample by sorption or dissolution techniques. Appropriate collectors may 
include charcoal, impregnated charcoal, metal zeolite and caustic 
solutions.
    2.2.3 Radionuclides of Argon, Krypton and Xenon. Radionuclides of 
these elements are either measured directly by an in-line or off-line 
monitor, or are collected from the extracted sample by low temperature 
sorption techniques, Appropriate sorbers may include charcoal or metal 
zeolite.
    2.2.4 Radionuclides of Oxygen, Carbon, Nitrogen and Radon. 
Radionuclides of these elements are measured directly using an in-line 
or off-line monitor. Radionuclides of carbon in the form of carbon 
dioxide may be collected by dissolution in caustic solutions.
    2.3 Definition of Terms
    In-line monitor means a continuous measurement system in which the 
detector is placed directly in or adjacent to the effluent stream. This 
may involve either gross radioactivity measurements or specific 
radionuclide measurements. Gross measurements shall be made in 
conformance with the conditions specified in Methods A-4, B-2 and G-4.
    Off-line monitor means a measurement system in which the detector is 
used to continuously measure an extracted sample of the effluent stream. 
This may involve either gross radioactivity measurements or specific 
radionuclide measurements. Gross measurements shall be made in 
conformance with the conditions specified in Methods A-4, B-2 and G-4.
    Sample collection means a procedure in which the radionuclides are 
removed from an extracted sample of the effluent using a collection 
media. These collection media include filters, absorbers, bubblers and 
condensers. The collected sample is analyzed using the methods described 
in Section 3.

3. Radionuclide Analysis Methods

    A series of methods based on ``principles of measurement'' are 
described which are applicable to the analysis of radionuclides 
collected from airborne effluent streams at stationary sources. These 
methods are applicable only under the conditions stated and within the 
limitations described. Some methods specify that only a single 
radionuclide be present in the sample or the chemically separated 
sample. This condition should be interpreted to mean that no other 
radionuclides are present in quantities which would interfere with the 
measurement.
    Also identified (Table 1) are methods for a selected list of 
radionuclides. The listed radionuclides are those which are most 
commonly used and which have the greatest potential for causing dose to 
members of the public. Use of methods based on principles of measurement 
other than those described in this section must be approved in advance 
of use by the Administrator. For radionuclides not listed in Table 1, 
any of the described methods may be used provided the user can 
demonstrate that the applicability conditions of the method have been 
met.
    The type of method applicable to the analysis of a radionuclide is 
dependent upon the type of radiation emitted, i.e., alpha, beta or 
gamma. Therefore, the methods described below are grouped according to 
principles of measurements for the analysis of alpha, beta and gamma 
emitting radionuclides.
    3.1 Methods for Alpha Emitting Radionuclides
    3.1.1 Method A-1, Radiochemistry-Alpha Spectrometry.
    Principle: The element of interest is separated from other elements, 
and from the sample matrix using radiochemical techniques. The procedure 
may involve precipitation, ion exchange, or solvent extraction. Carriers 
(elements chemically similar to the element of interest) may be used. 
The element is deposited on a planchet in a very thin film by 
electrodeposition or by coprecipitation on a very small amount of 
carrier, such as lanthanum fluoride. The deposited element is then 
counted with an alpha spectrometer. The activity of the nuclide of 
interest is measured by the number of alpha counts in the appropriate 
energy region. A

[[Page 315]]

correction for chemical yield and counting efficiency is made using a 
standardized radioactive nuclide (tracer) of the same element. If a 
radioactive tracer is not available for the element of interest, a 
predetermined chemical yield factor may be used.
    Applicability: This method is applicable for determining the 
activity of any alpha-emitting radionuclide, regardless of what other 
radionuclides are present in the sample provided the chemical separation 
step produces a very thin sample and removes all other radionuclides 
which could interfere in the spectral region of interest. APHA-605(2), 
ASTM-D-3972(13).
    3.1.2 Method A-2, Radiochemistry-Alpha Counting.
    Principle: The element of interest is separated from other elements, 
and from the sample matrix using radiochemistry. The procedure may 
involve precipitation, ion exchange, or solvent extraction. Carriers 
(elements chemically similar to the element of interest) may be used. 
The element is deposited on a planchet in a thin film and counted with 
an alpha counter. A correction for chemical yield (if necessary) is 
made. The alpha count rate measures the total activity of all emitting 
radionuclides of the separated element.
    Applicability: This method is applicable for the measurement of any 
alpha-emitting radionuclide, provided no other alpha emitting 
radionuclide is present in the separated sample. It may also be 
applicable for determining compliance, when other radionuclides of the 
separated element are present, provided that the calculated emission 
rate is assigned to the radionuclide which could be present in the 
sample that has the highest dose conversion factor. IDO-12096(18).
    3.1.3 Method A-3, Direct Alpha Spectrometry.
    Principle: The sample, collected on a suitable filter, is counted 
directly on an alpha spectrometer. The sample must be thin enough and 
collected on the surface of the filter so that any absorption of alpha 
particle energy in the sample or the filter, which would degrade the 
spectrum, is minimal.
    Applicability: This method is applicable to simple mixtures of alpha 
emitting radionuclides and only when the amount of particulates 
collected on the filter paper are relatively small and the alpha spectra 
is adequately resolved. Resolutions should be 50 keV (FWHM) or better, 
ASTM-D-3084(16).
    3.1.4 Method A-4, Direct Alpha Counting (Gross alpha determination).
    Principle: The sample, collected on a suitable filter, is counted 
with an alpha counter. The sample must be thin enough so that self-
absorption is not significant and the filter must be of such a nature 
that the particles are retained on the surface.
    Applicability: Gross alpha determinations may be used to measure 
emissions of specific radionuclides only (1) when it is known that the 
sample contains only a single radionuclide, or the identity and isotopic 
ratio of the radionuclides in the sample are well-known, and (2) 
measurements using either Method A-1, A-2 or A-5 have shown that this 
method provides a reasonably accurate measurement of the emission rate. 
Gross alpha measurements are applicable to unidentified mixtures of 
radionuclides only for the purposes and under the conditions described 
in section 3.7. APHA-601(3), ASTM-D-1943(10).
    3.1.5 Method A-5, Chemical Determination of Uranium.
    Principle: Uranium may be measured chemically by either colorimetry 
or fluorometry. In both procedures, the sample is dissolved, the uranium 
is oxidized to the hexavalent form and extracted into a suitable 
solvent. Impurities are removed from the solvent layer. For colorimetry, 
dibenzoylmethane is added, and the uranium is measured by the absorbance 
in a colorimeter. For fluorometry, a portion of the solution is fused 
with a sodium fluoride-lithium fluoride flux and the uranium is 
determined by the ultraviolet activated fluorescence of the fused disk 
in a fluorometer.
    Applicability: This method is applicable to the measurements of 
emission rates of uranium when the isotopic ratio of the uranium 
radionuclides is well known. ASTM-E-318(15), ASTM-D-2907(14).
    3.1.6 Method A-6, Radon-222--Continuous Gas Monitor.
    Principle: Radon-222 is measured directly in a continuously 
extracted sample stream by passing the air stream through a calibrated 
scintillation cell. Prior to the scintillation cell, the air stream is 
treated to remove particulates and excess moisture. The alpha particles 
from radon-222 and its decay products strike a zinc sulfide coating on 
the inside of the scintillation cell producing light pulses. The light 
pulses are detected by a photomultiplier tube which generates electrical 
pulses. These pulses are processed by the system electronics and the 
read out is in pCi/l of radon-222.
    Applicability: This method is applicable to the measurement of 
radon-222 in effluent streams which do not contain significant 
quantities of radon-220. Users of this method should calibrate the 
monitor in a radon calibration chamber at least twice per year. The 
background of the monitor should also be checked periodically by 
operating the instrument in a low radon environment. EPA 520/1-89-
009(24).
    3.1.7 Method A-7, Radon-222-Alpha Track Detectors
    Principle: Radon-222 is measured directly in the effluent stream 
using alpha track detectors (ATD). The alpha particles emitted by

[[Page 316]]

radon-222 and its decay products strike a small plastic strip and 
produce submicron damage tracks. The plastic strip is placed in a 
caustic solution that accentuates the damage tracks which are counted 
using a microscope or automatic counting system. The number of tracks 
per unit area is correlated to the radon concentration in air using a 
conversion factor derived from data generated in a radon calibration 
facility.
    Applicability: Prior approval from EPA is required for use of this 
method. This method is only applicable to effluent streams which do not 
contain significant quantities of radon-220, unless special detectors 
are used to discriminate against radon-220. This method may be used only 
when ATDs have been demonstrated to produce data comparable to data 
obtained with Method A-6. Such data should be submitted to EPA when 
requesting approval for the use of this method. EPA 520/1-89-009(24).
    3.2 Methods for Gaseous Beta Emitting Radionuclides.
    3.2.1 Method B-1, Direct Counting in Flow-Through Ionization 
Chambers.
    Principle: An ionization chamber containing a specific volume of gas 
which flows at a given flow rate through the chamber is used. The sample 
(effluent stream sample) acts as the counting gas for the chamber. The 
activity of the radionuclide is determined from the current measured in 
the ionization chamber.
    Applicability: This method is applicable for measuring the activity 
of a gaseous beta-emitting radionuclide in an effluent stream that is 
suitable as a counting gas, when no other beta-emitting nuclides are 
present. DOE/EP-0096(17), NCRP-58(23).
    3.2.2 Method B-2, Direct Counting With In-line or Off-line Beta 
Detectors.
    Principle: The beta detector is placed directly in the effluent 
stream (in-line) or an extracted sample of the effluent stream is passed 
through a chamber containing a beta detector (off-line). The activities 
of the radionuclides present in the effluent stream are determined from 
the beta count rate, and a knowledge of the radionuclides present and 
the relationship of the gross beta count rate and the specific 
radionuclide concentration.
    Applicability: This method is applicable only to radionuclides with 
maximum beta particle energies greater then 0.2 MeV. This method may be 
used to measure emissions of specific radionuclides only when it is 
known that the sample contains only a single radionuclide or the 
identity and isotopic ratio of the radionuclides in the effluent stream 
are well known. Specific radionuclide analysis of periodic grab samples 
may be used to identify the types and quantities of radionuclides 
present and to establish the relationship between specific radionuclide 
analyses and gross beta count rates.
    This method is applicable to unidentified mixtures of gaseous 
radionuclides only for the purposes and under the conditions described 
in section 3.7.
    3.3 Methods for Non-Gaseous Beta Emitting Radionuclides.
    3.3.1 Method B-3, Radiochemistry-Beta Counting.
    Principle: The element of interest is separated from other elements, 
and from the sample matrix by radiochemistry. This may involve 
precipitation, distillation, ion exchange, or solvent extraction. 
Carriers (elements chemically similar to the element of interest) may be 
used. The element is deposited on a planchet, and counted with a beta 
counter. Corrections for chemical yield, and decay (if necessary) are 
made. The beta count rate determines the total activity of all 
radionuclides of the separated element. This method may also involve the 
radiochemical separation and counting of a daughter element, after a 
suitable period of ingrowth, in which case it is specific for the parent 
nuclide.
    Applicability: This method is applicable for measuring the activity 
of any beta-emitting radionuclide, with a maximum energy greater than 
0.2 MeV, provided no other radionuclide is present in the separated 
sample. APHA-608(5).
    3.3.2 Method B-4, Direct Beta Counting (Gross beta determination).
    Principle: The sample, collected on a suitable filter, is counted 
with a beta counter. The sample must be thin enough so that self-
absorption corrections can be made.
    Applicability: Gross beta measurements are applicable only to 
radionuclides with maximum beta particle energies greater than 0.2 MeV. 
Gross beta measurements may be used to measure emissions of specific 
radionuclides only (1) when it is known that the sample contains only a 
single radionuclide, and (2) measurements made using Method B-3 show 
reasonable agreement with the gross beta measurement. Gross beta 
measurements are applicable to mixtures of radionuclides only for the 
purposes and under the conditions described in section 3.7. APHA-602(4), 
ASTM-D-1890(11).
    3.3.3 Method B-5, Liquid Scintillation Spectrometry.
    Principle: An aliquot of a collected sample or the result of some 
other chemical separation or processing technique is added to a liquid 
scintillation ``cocktail'' which is viewed by photomultiplier tubes in a 
liquid scintillation spectrometer. The spectrometer is adjusted to 
establish a channel or ``window'' for the pulse energy appropriate to 
the nuclide of interest. The activity of the nuclide of interest is 
measured by the counting rate in the appropriate energy channel. 
Corrections are made for chemical yield where separations are made.

[[Page 317]]

    Applicability: This method is applicable to any beta-emitting 
nuclide when no other radionuclide is present in the sample or the 
separated sample provided that it can be incorporated in the 
scintillation cocktail. This method is also applicable for samples which 
contain more than one radionuclide but only when the energies of the 
beta particles are sufficiently separated so that they can be resolved 
by the spectrometer. This method is most applicable to the measurement 
of low-energy beta emitters such as tritium and carbon-14. APHA-609(6), 
EML-LV-539-17(19).
    3.4 Gamma Emitting Radionuclides
    3.4.1 Method G-1, High Resolution Gamma Spectrometry.
    Principle: The sample is counted with a high resolution gamma 
detector, usually either a Ge(Li) or a high purity Ge detector, 
connected to a multichannel analyzer or computer. The gamma emitting 
radionuclides in the sample are measured from the gamma count rates in 
the energy regions characteristic of the individual radionuclide. 
Corrections are made for counts contributed by other radionuclides to 
the spectral regions of the radionuclides of interest. Radiochemical 
separations may be made prior to counting but are usually not necessary.
    Applicability: This method is applicable to the measurement of any 
gamma emitting radionuclide with gamma energies greater than 20 keV. It 
can be applied to complex mixtures of radionuclides. The samples counted 
may be in the form of particulate filters, absorbers, liquids or gases. 
The method may also be applied to the analysis of gaseous gamma emitting 
radionuclides directly in an effluent stream by passing the stream 
through a chamber or cell containing the detector. ASTM-3649(9), IDO-
12096(18).
    3.4.2 Method G-2, Low Resolution Gamma Spectrometry.
    Principle: The sample is counted with a low resolution gamma 
detector, a thallium activated sodium iodide crystal. The detector is 
coupled to a photomultiplier tube and connected to a multichannel 
analyzer. The gamma emitting radionuclides in the sample are measured 
from the gamma count rates in the energy regions characteristic of the 
individual radionuclides. Corrections are made for counts contributed by 
other radionuclides to the spectral regions of the radionuclides of 
interest. Radiochemical separation may be used prior to counting to 
obtain less complex gamma spectra if needed.
    Applicability: This method is applicable to the measurement of gamma 
emitting radionuclides with energies greater than 100 keV. It can be 
applied only to relatively simple mixtures of gamma emitting 
radionuclides. The samples counted may be in the form of particulate 
filters, absorbers, liquids or gas. The method can be applied to the 
analysis of gaseous radionuclides directly in an effluent stream by 
passing the gas stream through a chamber or cell containing the 
detector. ASTM-D-2459(12), EMSL-LV-0539-17(19).
    3.4.3 Method G-3, Single Channel Gamma Spectrometry.
    Principle: The sample is counted with a thallium activated sodium 
iodide crystal. The detector is coupled to a photomultiplier tube 
connected to a single channel analyzer. The activity of a gamma emitting 
radionuclide is determined from the gamma counts in the energy range for 
which the counter is set.
    Applicability: This method is applicable to the measurement of a 
single gamma emitting radionuclide. It is not applicable to mixtures of 
radionuclides. The samples counted may be in the form of particulate 
filters, absorbers, liquids or gas. The method can be applied to the 
analysis of gaseous radionuclides directly in an effluent stream by 
passing the gas stream through a chamber or cell containing the 
detector.
    3.4.4 Method G-4, Gross Gamma Counting.
    Principle: The sample is counted with a gamma detector usually a 
thallium activated sodium iodine crystal. The detector is coupled to a 
photomultiplier tube and gamma rays above a specific threshold energy 
level are counted.
    Applicability: Gross gamma measurements may be used to measure 
emissions of specific radionuclides only when it is known that the 
sample contains a single radionuclide or the identity and isotopic ratio 
of the radionuclides in the effluent stream are well known. When gross 
gamma measurements are used to determine emissions of specific 
radionuclides periodic measurements using Methods G-1 or G-2 should be 
made to demonstrate that the gross gamma measurements provide reliable 
emission data. This method may be applied to analysis of gaseous 
radionuclides directly in an effluent stream by placing the detector 
directly in or adjacent to the effluent stream or passing an extracted 
sample of the effluent stream through a chamber or cell containing the 
detector.
    3.5 Counting Methods. All of the above methods with the exception of 
Method A-5 involve counting the radiation emitted by the radionuclide. 
Counting methods applicable to the measurement of alpha, beta and gamma 
radiations are listed below. The equipment needed and the counting 
principles involved are described in detail in ASTM-3648(8).
    3.5.1 Alpha Counting:
     Gas Flow Proportional Counters. The alpha 
particles cause ionization in the counting gas and the resulting 
electrical pulses are counted. These counters may be windowless or have 
very thin windows.
     Scintillation Counters. The alpha particles 
transfer energy to a scintillator resulting in a production of light 
photons which strike a

[[Page 318]]

photomultiplier tube converting the light photons to electrical pulses 
which are counted. The counters may involve the use of solid 
scintillation materials such as zinc sulfide or liquid scintillation 
solutions.
     Solid-State Counters. Semiconductor materials, 
such as silicon surface-barrier p-n junctions, act as solid ionization 
chambers. The alpha particles interact which the detector producing 
electron hole pairs. The charged pair is collected by an applied 
electrical field and the resulting electrical pulses are counted.
     Alpha Spectrometers. Semiconductor detectors used 
in conjunction with multichannel analyzers for energy discrimination.
    3.5.2 Beta Counting:
     Ionization Chambers. These chambers contain the 
beta-emitting nuclide in gaseous form. The ionization current produced 
is measured.
     Geiger-Muller (GM) Counters-or Gas Flow 
Proportional Counters. The beta particles cause ionization in the 
counting gas and the resulting electrical pulses are counted. 
Proportional gas flow counters which are heavily shielded by lead or 
other metal, and provided with an anti-coincidence shield to reject 
cosmic rays, are called low background beta counters.
     Scintillation Counters. The beta particles 
transfer energy to a scintillator resulting in a production of light 
photons, which strike a photomultiplier tube converting the light photon 
to electrical pulses which are counted. This may involve the use of 
anthracene crystals, plastic scintillator, or liquid scintillation 
solutions with organic phosphors.
     Liquid Scintillation Spectrometers. Liquid 
scintillation counters which use two photomultiplier tubes in 
coincidence to reduce background counts. This counter may also 
electronically discriminate among pulses of a given range of energy.
    3.5.3 Gamma Counting:
     Low-Resolution Gamma Spectrometers. The gamma 
rays interact with thallium activated sodium iodide or cesium iodide 
crystal resulting in the release of light photons which strike a 
photomultiplier tube converting the light pulses to electrical pulses 
proportional to the energy of the gamma ray. Multi-channel analyzers are 
used to separate and store the pulses according to the energy absorbed 
in the crystal.
     High-Resolution gamma Spectrometers. Gamma rays 
interact with a lithium-drifted (Ge(Li)) or high-purity germanium (HPGe) 
semiconductor detectors resulting in a production of electron-hole 
pairs. The charged pair is collected by an applied electrical field. A 
very stable low noise preamplifier amplifies the pulses of electrical 
charge resulting from the gamma photon interactions. Multichannel 
analyzers or computers are used to separate and store the pulses 
according to the energy absorbed in the crystal.
     Single Channel Analyzers. Thallium activated 
sodium iodide crystals used with a single window analyzer. Pulses from 
the photomultiplier tubes are separated in a single predetermined energy 
range.
    3.5.4 Calibration of Counters. Counters are calibrated for specific 
radionuclide measurements using a standard of the radionuclide under 
either identical or very similar conditions as the sample to be counted. 
For gamma spectrometers a series of standards covering the energy range 
of interest may be used to construct a calibration curve relating gamma 
energy to counting efficiency.
    In those cases where a standard is not available for a radionuclide, 
counters may be calibrated using a standard with energy characteristics 
as similar as possible to the radionuclide to be measured. For gross 
alpha and beta measurements of the unidentified mixtures of 
radionuclides, alpha counters are calibrated with a natural uranium 
standard and beta counters with a cesium-137 standard. The standard must 
contain the same weight and distribution of solids as the samples, and 
be mounted in an identical manner. If the samples contain variable 
amounts of solids, calibration curves relating weight of solids present 
to counting efficiency are prepared. Standards other than those 
prescribed may be used provided it can be shown that such standards are 
more applicable to the radionuclide mixture measured.
    3.6 Radiochemical Methods for Selected Radionuclides. Methods for a 
selected list of radionuclides are listed in Table 1. The radionuclides 
listed are those which are most commonly used and which have the 
greatest potential for causing doses to members of the public. For 
radionuclides not listed in Table 1, methods based on any of the 
applicable ``principles of measurement'' described in section 3.1 
through 3.4 may be used.
    3.7 Applicability of Gross Alpha and Beta Measurements to 
Unidentified Mixtures of Radionuclides. Gross alpha and beta 
measurements may be used as a screening measurement as a part of an 
emission measurement program to identify the need to do specific 
radionuclide analyses or to confirm or verify that unexpected 
radionuclides are not being released in significant quantities.
    Gross alpha (Method A-4) or gross beta (Methods B-2 or B-4) 
measurements may also be used for the purpose of comparing the measured 
concentrations in the effluent stream with the limiting ``Concentration 
Levels for Environmental Compliance'' in table 2 of appendix E. For 
unidentified mixtures, the measured concentration value shall be 
compared with the lowest environmental concentration limit for any 
radionuclide which is not known to be absent from the effluent stream.

4. Quality Assurance Methods

    Each facility required to measure their radionuclide emissions shall 
conduct a quality assurance program in conjunction with the radionuclide 
emission measurements. This program shall assure that the emission 
measurements are representative, and are of known precision and accuracy 
and shall include administrative controls to assure prompt response when 
emission measurements indicate unexpectedly large emissions. The program 
shall consist of a system of policies, organizational responsibilities, 
written procedures, data quality specifications, audits, corrective 
actions and reports. This quality assurance program shall include the 
following program elements:
    4.1 The organizational structure, functional responsibilities, 
levels of authority and lines of communications for all activities 
related to the emissions measurement program shall be identified and 
documented.
    4.2 Administrative controls shall be prescribed to ensure prompt 
response in the event that emission levels increase due to unplanned 
operations.
    4.3 The sample collection and analysis procedures used in measuring 
the emissions shall be described including where applicable:
    4.3.1 Identification of sampling sites and number of sampling 
points, including the rationale for site selections.
    4.3.2 A description of sampling probes and representativeness of the 
samples.
    4.3.3 A description of any continuous monitoring system used to 
measure emissions, including the sensitivity of the system, calibration 
procedures and frequency of calibration.
    4.3.4 A description of the sample collection systems for each 
radionuclide measured, including frequency of collection, calibration 
procedures and frequency of calibration.
    4.3.5 A description of the laboratory analysis procedures used for 
each radionuclide measured, including frequency of analysis, calibration 
procedures and frequency of calibration.
    4.3.6 A description of the sample flow rate measurement systems or 
procedures, including calibration procedures and frequency of 
calibration.

procedures, including frequency of measurements, calibration procedures 
and frequency of calibration.
    4.4 The objectives of the quality assurance program shall be 
documented and shall state the required precision, accuracy and 
completeness of the emission measurement data including a description of 
the procedures used to assess these parameters. Accuracy is the degree 
of agreement of a measurement with a true or known value. Precision is a 
measure of the agreement among individual measurements of the same 
parameters under similar conditions. Completeness is a measure of the 
amount of valid data obtained compared to the amount expected under 
normal conditions.
    4.5 A quality control program shall be established to evaluate and 
track the quality of the emissions measurement data against preset 
criteria. The program should include where applicable a system of 
replicates, spiked samples, split samples, blanks and control charts. 
The number and frequency of such quality control checks shall be 
identified.
    4.6 A sample tracking system shall be established to provide for 
positive identification of samples and data through all phases

[[Page 320]]

of the sample collection, analysis and reporting system. Sample handling 
and preservation procedures shall be established to maintain the 
integrity of samples during collection, storage and analysis.
    4.7 Regular maintenance, calibration and field checks shall be 
performed for each sampling system in use by satisfying the requirements

             Method 115--Monitoring for Radon-222 Emissions

    This appendix describes the monitoring methods which must be used in 
determining the radon-222 emissions from underground uranium mines, 
uranium mill tailings piles, phosphogypsum stacks, and other piles of 
waste material emitting radon.

1. Radon-222 Emissions from Underground Uranium Mine Vents

    1.1 Sampling Frequency and Calculation of Emissions. Radon-222 
emissions from underground uranium mine vents shall be determined using 
one of the following methods:
    1.1.1 Continuous Measurement. These measurements shall be made and 
the emissions calculated as follows:
    (a) The radon-222 concentration shall be continuously measured at 
each mine vent whenever the mine ventilation system is operational.
    (b) Each mine vent exhaust flow rate shall be measured at least 4 
times per year.
    (c) A weekly radon-222 emission rate for the mine shall be 
calculated and recorded weekly as follows:

Aw= C1Q1T1 + 
          C2Q2T2 + . . . 
          CiQiTi

Where:
Aw = Total radon-222 emitted from the mine during week (Ci)
Ci = Average radon-222 concentration in mine vent i(Ci/m\3\)
Qi = Volumetric flow rate from mine vent i(m\3\/hr)
Ti = Hours of mine ventilation system operation during week 
          for mine vent i(hr)

    (d) The annual radon-222 emission rate is the sum of the weekly 
emission rates during a calendar year.
    1.1.2 Periodic Measurement. This method is applicable only to mines 
that continuously operate their ventilation system except for extended 
shutdowns. Mines which start up and shut down their ventilation system 
frequently must use the continuous measurement method describe in 
Section 1.1.1 above. Emission rates determined using periodic 
measurements shall be measured and calculated as follows:
    (a) The radon-222 shall be continuously measured at each mine vent 
for at least one week every three months.
    (b) Each mine vent exhaust flow rate shall be measured at least once 
during each of the radon-222 measurement periods.
    (c) A weekly radon-222 emission rate shall be calculated for each 
weekly period according to the method described in Section 1.1.1. In 
this calculation T = 168 hr.
    (d) The annual radon-222 emission rate from the mine should be 
calculated as follows:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC15NO91.090

Where:
Ay = Annual radon-222 emission rate from the mine(Ci)
Awi = Weekly radon-222 emission rate during the measurement 
          period i (Ci)
n = Number of weekly measurement periods per year
Ws = Number of weeks during the year that the mine 
          ventilation system is shut down in excess of 7 consecutive 
          days, i.e. the sum of the number of weeks each shut down 
          exceeds 7 days

    1.2 Test Methods and Procedures
    Each underground mine required to test its emissions, unless an 
equivalent or alternative method has been approved by the Administrator, 
shall use the following test methods:
    1.2.1 Test Method 1 of appendix A to part 60 shall be used to 
determine velocity traverses. The sampling point in the duct shall

[[Page 322]]

be either the centroid of the cross section or the point of average 
velocity.
    1.2.2 Test Method 2 of appendix A to part 60 shall be used to 
determine velocity and volumetric flow rates.
    1.2.3 Test Methods A-6 or A-7 of appendix B, Method 114 to part 61 
shall be used for the analysis of radon-222. Use of Method A-7 requires 
prior approval of EPA based on conditions described in appendix B.
    1.2.4 A quality assurance program shall be conducted in conformance 
with the programs described for Continuous Radon Monitors and Alpha 
Track Detectors in EPA 520/1-89-009. (2)

2. Radon-222 Emissions from Uranium Mill Tailings Piles

    2.1 Measurement and Calculation of Radon Flux from Uranium Mill 
Tailings Piles.
    2.1.1 Frequency of Flux Measurement. A single set of radon flux 
measurements may be made, or if the owner or operator chooses, more 
frequent measurements may be made over a one year period. These 
measurements may involve quarterly, monthly or weekly intervals. All 
radon measurements shall be made as described in paragraphs 2.1.2 
through 2.1.6 except that for measurements made over a one year period, 
the requirement of paragraph 2.1.4(c) shall not apply. The mean radon 
flux from the pile shall be the arithmetic mean of the mean radon flux 
for each measurement period. The weather conditions, moisture content of 
the tailings and area of the pile covered by water existing at the time 
of the measurement shall be chosen so as to provide measurements 
representative of the long term radon flux from the pile and shall be 
subject to EPA review and approval.
    2.1.2 Distribution of Flux Measurements. The distribution and number 
of radon flux measurements required on a pile will depend on clearly 
defined areas of the pile (called regions) that can have significantly 
different radon fluxes due to surface conditions. The mean radon flux 
shall be determined for each individual region of the pile. Regions that 
shall be considered for operating mill tailings piles are:

    (a) Water covered areas,
    (b) Water saturated areas (beaches),
    (c) Dry top surface areas, and
    (d) Sides, except where earthen material is used in dam 
construction.

    For mill tailings after disposal the pile shall be considered to 
consist of only one region.
    2.1.3 Number of Flux Measurements. Radon flux measurements shall be 
made within each region on the pile, except for those areas covered with 
water. Measurements shall be made at regularly spaced locations across 
the surface of the region, realizing that surface roughness will 
prohibit measurements in some areas of a region. The minimum number of 
flux measurements considered necessary to determine a representative 
mean radon flux value for each type of region on an operating pile is:

    (a) Water covered area--no measurements required as radon flux is 
assumed to be zero,
    (b) Water saturated beaches--100 radon flux measurements,
    (c) Loose and dry top surface--100 radon flux measurements,
    (d) Sides--100 radon flux measurements, except where earthern 
material is used in dam construction.

    For a mill tailings pile after disposal which consists of only one 
region a minimum of 100 measurements are required.
    2.1.4 Restrictions to Radon Flux Measurements. The following 
restrictions are placed on making radon flux measurements:

    (a) Measurements shall not be initiated within 24 hours of a 
rainfall.
    (b) If a rainfall occurs during the 24 hour measurements period, the 
measurement is invalid if the seal around the lip of the collector has 
washed away or if the collector is surrounded by water.
    (c) Measurements shall not be performed if the ambient temperature 
is below 35 [deg]F or if the ground is frozen.

    2.1.5 Areas of Pile Regions. The approximate area of each region of 
the pile shall be determined in units of square meters.
    2.1.6 Radon Flux Measurement. Measuring radon flux involves the 
adsorption of radon on activated charcoal in a large-area collector. The 
radon collector is placed on the surface of the pile area to be measured 
and allowed to collect radon for a time period of 24 hours. The radon 
collected on the charcoal is measured by gamma-ray spectroscopy. The 
detailed measurement procedure provided in appendix A of EPA 520/5-85-
0029(1) shall be used to measure the radon flux on uranium mill 
tailings, except the surface of the tailings shall not be penetrated by 
the lip of the radon collector as directed in the procedure, rather the 
collector shall be carefully positioned on a flat surface with soil or 
tailings used to seal the edge.
    2.1.7 Calculations. The mean radon flux for each region of the pile 
and for the total pile shall be calculated and reported as follows:

    (a) The individual radon flux calculations shall be made as provided 
in appendix A EPA 86 (1). The mean radon flux for each region of the 
pile shall be calculated by summing all individual flux measurements for 
the region and dividing by the total number of flux measurements for the 
region.
    (b) The mean radon flux for the total uranium mill tailings pile 
shall be calculated as follows.

[[Page 323]]

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC15NO91.091

Where:

Js = Mean flux for the total pile (pCi/m\2\-s)
Ji = Mean flux measured in region i (pCi/m\2\-s)
Ai = Area of region i (m\2\)
At = Total area of the pile (m\2\)

    2.1.8 Reporting. The results of individual flux measurements, the 
approximate locations on the pile, and the mean radon flux for each 
region and the mean radon flux for the total stack shall be included in 
the emission test report. Any condition or unusual event that occurred 
during the measurements that could significantly affect the results 
should be reported.
    3.0 Radon-222 Emissions from Phosphogypsum Stacks.
    3.1 Measurement and Calculation of the Mean Radon Flux. Radon flux 
measurements shall be made on phosphogypsum stacks as described below:
    3.1.1 Frequency of Measurements. A single set of radon flux 
measurements may be made after the phosphogypsum stack becomes inactive, 
or if the owner or operator chooses, more frequent measurements may be 
made over a one year period. These measurements may involve quarterly, 
monthly or weekly intervals. All radon measurements shall be made as 
described in paragraphs 3.1.2 through 3.1.6 except that for measurements 
made over a one year period, the requirement of paragraph 3.1.4(c) shall 
not apply. For measurements made over a one year period, the radon flux 
shall be the arithmetic mean of the mean radon flux for each measurement 
period.
    3.1.2 Distribution and Number of Flux Measurements. The distribution 
and number of radon flux measurements required on a stack will depend on 
clearly defined areas of the stack (called regions) that can have 
significantly different radon fluxes due to surface conditions. The mean 
radon flux shall be determined for each individual region of the stack. 
Regions that shall be considered are:

    (a) Water covered areas,
    (b) Water saturated areas (beaches),
    (c) Loose and dry top surface areas,
    (d) Hard-packed roadways, and
    (e) Sides.

    3.1.3 Number of Flux Measurements. Radon flux measurements shall be 
made within each region on the phosphogypsum stack, except for those 
areas covered with water. Measurements shall be made at regularly spaced 
locations across the surface of the region, realizing that surface 
roughness will prohibit measurements in some areas of a region. The 
minimum number of flux measurements considered necessary to determine a 
representative mean radon flux value for each type of region is:

    (a) Water covered area--no measurements required as radon flux is 
assumed to be zero,
    (b) Water saturated beaches--50 radon flux measurements,
    (c) Loose and dry top surface--100 radon flux measurements,
    (d) Hard-packed roadways--50 radon flux measurements, and
    (e) Sides--100 radon flux measurements.

A minimum of 300 measurements are required. A stack that has no water 
cover can be considered to consist of two regions, top and sides, and 
will require a minimum of only 200 measurements.
    3.1.4 Restrictions to Radon Flux Measurements. The following 
restrictions are placed on making radon flux measurements:

    (a) Measurements shall not be initiated within 24 hours of a 
rainfall.
    (b) If a rainfall occurs during the 24 hour measurement period, the 
measurement is invalid if the seal around the lip of the collector has 
washed away or if the collector is surrounded by water.
    (c) Measurements shall not be performed if the ambient temperature 
is below 35 [deg]F or if the ground is frozen.

    3.1.5 Areas of Stack Regions. The approximate area of each region of 
the stack shall be determined in units of square meters.
    3.1.6 Radon Flux Measurements. Measuring radon flux involves the 
adsorption of radon on activated charcoal in a large-area collector. The 
radon collector is placed on the surface of the stack area to be 
measured and allowed to collect radon for a time period of 24 hours. The 
radon collected on the charcoal is measured by gamma-ray spectroscopy. 
The detailed measurement procedure provided in appendix A of EPA 520/5-
85-0029(1) shall be used to measure the radon flux on phosphogypsum 
stacks, except the surface of the phosphogypsum shall not be penetrated 
by the lip of the radon collector as directed in the procedure, rather 
the collector shall be carefully positioned on a flat surface with soil 
or phosphogypsum used to seal the edge.
    3.1.7 Calculations. The mean radon flux for each region of the 
phosphogypsum stack and for the total stack shall be calculated and 
reported as follows:

    (a) The individual radon flux calculations shall be made as provided 
in appendix A EPA 86 (1). The mean radon flux for each region of the 
stack shall be calculated by summing all individual flux measurements 
for the region and dividing by the total number of flux measurements for 
the region.
    (b) The mean radon flux for the total phosphogypsum stack shall be 
calculated as follows.

[[Page 324]]

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TC15NO91.092

Where:
Js = Mean flux for the total stack (pCi/m\2\-s)
Ji = Mean flux measured in region i (pCi/m\2\-s)
Ai = Area of region i (m\2\)
At = Total area of the stack

    3.1.8 Reporting. The results of individual flux measurements, the 
approximate locations on the stack, and the mean radon flux for each 
region and the mean radon flux for the total stack shall be included in 
the emission test report. Any condition or unusual event that occurred 
during the measurements that could significantly affect the results 
should be reported.
    4.0 Quality Assurance Procedures for Measuring Rn-222 Flux

                         A. Sampling Procedures

    Records of field activities and laboratory measurements shall be 
maintained. The following information shall be recorded for each 
charcoal canister measurement:

(a) Site
(b) Name of pile
(c) Sample location
(d) Sample ID number
(e) Date and time on
(f) Date and time off
(g) Observations of meteorological conditions and comments

    Records shall include all applicable information associated with 
determining the sample measurement, calculations, observations, and 
comments.

                            B. Sample Custody

    Custodial control of all charcoal samples exposed in the field shall 
be maintained in accordance with EPA chain-of-custody field procedures. 
A control record shall document all custody changes that occur between 
the field and laboratory personnel.

                 C. Calibration Procedures and Frequency

    The radioactivity of two standard charcoal sources, each containing 
a carefully determined quantity of radium-226 uniformly distributed 
through 180g of activated charcoal, shall be measured. An efficiency 
factor is computed by dividing the average measured radioactivity of the 
two standard charcoal sources, minus the background, in cpm by the known 
radioactivity of the charcoal sources in dpm. The same two standard 
charcoal sources shall be counted at the beginning and at the end of 
each day's counting as a check of the radioactivity counting equipment. 
A background count using unexposed charcoal should also be made at the 
beginning and at the end of each counting day to check for inadvertent 
contamination of the detector or other changes affecting the background. 
The unexposed charcoal comprising the blank is changed with each new 
batch of charcoal used.

            D. Internal Quality Control Checks and Frequency

    The charcoal from every tenth exposed canister shall be recounted. 
Five percent of the samples analyzed shall be either blanks (charcoal 
having no radioactivity added) or samples spiked with known quantities 
of radium-226.

              E. Data Precision, Accuracy, and Completeness

    The precision, accuracy, and completeness of measurements and 
analyses shall be within the following limits for samples measuring 
greater than 1.0 pCi/m\2\-s.
    (a) Precision: 10%
    (b) Accuracy: 10%
    (c) Completeness: at least 85% of the measurements must yield 
useable results.

        Sec. Appendix C to Part 61--Quality Assurance Procedures

 Procedure 1--Determination of Adequate Chromatographic Peak Resolution

    In this method of dealing with resolution, the extent to which one 
chromatographic peak overlaps another is determined.
    For convenience, consider the range of the elution curve of each 
compound as running from -2[sigma] to + 2[sigma]. This range is used in 
other resolution criteria, and it contains 95.45 percent of the area of 
a normal curve. If two peaks are separated by a known distance, b, one 
can determine the fraction of the area of one curve that lies within the 
range of the other. The extent to which the elution curve of a 
contaminant compound overlaps the curve of a compound that is under 
analysis is found by integrating the contaminant curve

[[Page 325]]

over the limits b-2[sigma]s to b + 2[sigma]s, 
where [sigma]s is the standard deviation of the sample curve.
    This calculation can be simplified in several ways. Overlap can be 
determined for curves of unit area; then actual areas can be introduced. 
Desired integration can be resolved into two integrals of the normal 
distribution function for which there are convenient calculation 
programs and tables. An example would be Program 15 in Texas Instruments 
Program Manual ST1, 1975, Texas Instruments, Inc., Dallas, Texas 75222.

    In judging the suitability of alternate GC columns or the effects of 
altering chromatographic conditions, one can employ the area overlap as 
the resolution parameter with a specific maximum permissible value.

[[Page 327]]

    The use of Gaussian functions to describe chromatographic elution 
curves is widespread. However, some elution curves are highly 
asymmetric. In cases where the sample peak is followed by a contaminant 
that has a leading edge that rises sharply but the curve then tails off, 
it may be possible to define an effective width for tc as 
``twice the distance from the leading edge to a perpendicular line 
through the maxim of the contaminant curve, measured along a 
perpendicular bisection of that line.''

          Procedure 2--Procedure for Field Auditing GC Analysis

    Responsibilities of audit supervisor and analyst at the source 
sampling site include the following:
    A. The audit supervisor verifies that audit cylinders are stored in 
a safe location both before and after the audit to prevent vandalism.
    B. At the beginning and conclusion of the audit, the analyst records 
each cylinder number and pressure. An audit cylinder is never analyzed 
when the pressure drops below 200 psi.
    C. During the audit, the analyst performs a minimum of two 
consecutive analyses of each audit cylinder gas. The audit must be 
conducted to coincide with the analysis of source test samples, normally 
immediately after GC calibration and prior to sample analyses.
    D. At the end of audit analyses, the audit supervisor requests the 
calculated concentrations from the analyst and compares the results with 
the actual audit concentrations. If each measured concentration agrees 
with the respective actual concentration within 10 
percent, he directs the analyst to begin analyzing source samples. Audit 
supervisor judgment and/or supervisory policy determine action when 
agreement is not within 10 percent. When a 
consistent bias in excess of 10 percent is found, it may be possible to 
proceed with the sample analysis, with a corrective factor to be applied 
to the results at a later time. However, every attempt should be made to 
locate the cause of the discrepancy, as it may be misleading. The audit 
supervisor records each cylinder number, cylinder pressure (at the end 
of the audit), and all calculated concentrations. The individual being 
audited must not under any circumstance be told actual audit 
concentrations until calculated concentrations have been submitted to 
the audit supervisor.

    Sec. Appendix D to Part 61--Methods for Estimating Radionuclide 
                                Emissions

                        1. Purpose and Background

    Facility owners or operators may estimate radionuclide emissions to 
the atmosphere for dose calculations instead of measuring emissions. 
Particulate emissions from mill tailings piles should be estimated using 
the procedures listed in reference re 2. All other emissions may be 
estimated by using the

[[Page 328]]

``Procedures'' listed below, or using the method described in reference 
1.

                              2. Procedure

    To estimate emissions to the atmosphere:
    (a) Determine the amount (in curies) used at facilities for the 
period under consideration. Radioactive materials in sealed packages 
that remain unopened, and have not leaked during the assessment period 
should not be included in the calculation.
    (b) Multiply the amount used by the following factors which depend 
on the physical state of the radionuclide. They are:
    (i) 1 for gases;
    (ii) 10-3 for liquids or particulate solids; and
    (iii) 10-6 for solids.
    If any nuclide is heated to a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius or 
more, boils at a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius or less, or is 
intentionally dispersed into the environment, it must be considered to 
be a gas.
    (c) If a control device is installed between the place of use and 
the point of release, multiply emissions from (b) by an adjustment 
factor. These are presented in Table 1.

     Sec. Appendix E to Part 61--Compliance Procedures Methods for 
                  Determining Compliance With Subpart I

                        1. Purpose and Background

    This Appendix provides simplified procedures to reduce the burden on 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licensees, and non-Department of 
Energy Federal facilities in determining compliance with 40 CFR part 61, 
subpart I. The procedures consist of a series of increasingly more 
stringent steps, depending on the facility's potential to exceed the 
standard.
    First, a facility can be found in compliance if the quantity of 
radioactive material possessed during the year is less than that listed 
in a table of annual possession quantities. A facility will also be in 
compliance if the average annual radionuclide emission concentration is 
less than that listed in a table of air concentration levels. If the 
facility is

[[Page 329]]

not in compliance by these tables, it can establish compliance by 
estimating a dose using screening procedure developed by the National 
Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements with a radiological 
source term derived using EPA approved emission factors. These 
procedures are described in a ``Guide for Determining Compliance with 
the Clean Air Act Standards for Radionuclide Emissions From NRC-Licensed 
and Non-DOE Federal Facilities.''
    A user-friendly computer program called COMPLY has been developed to 
reduce the burden on the regulated community. The Agency has also 
prepared a ``User's Guide for the COMPLY Code'' to assist the regulated 
community in using the code, and in handling more complex situations 
such as multiple release points. The basis for these compliance 
procedures are provided in ``Background Information Document: Procedures 
Approved for Demonstrating Compliance with 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart I''. 
The compliance model is the highest level in the COMPLY computer code 
and provides for the most realistic assessment of dose by allowing the 
use of site-specific information.

                 2. Table of Annual Possession Quantity

    (a) Table 1 may be used for determining if facilities are in 
compliance with the standard. The possession table can only be used if 
the following conditions are met:
    (i) No person lives within 10 meters of any release point; and
    (ii) No milk, meat, or vegetables are produced within 100 meters of 
any release point.
    (b) Procedures described in Reference (1) shall be used to determine 
compliance or exemption from reporting by use of Table 2.

* Radionuclides boiling at 100 [deg]C or less, or exposed to a
  temperature of 100 [deg]C, must be considered a gas. Capsules
  containing radionuclides in liquid or powder form can be considered to
  be solids.
** Mo-99 contained in a generator to produce Technetium-99 can be
  assumed to be a solid.

                    3. Table of Concentration Levels

    (a) Table 2 may be used for determining if facilities are in 
compliance with the standard.
    1. The concentration table as applied to emission estimates can only 
be used if all releases are from point sources and concentrations have 
been measured at the stack or vent using EPA-approved methods, and the 
distance between each stack or vent and the nearest resident is greater 
than 3 times the diameter of the stack or vent. Procedures provided in 
Ref. (1) shall be used to determine compliance or exemption from 
reporting by use of Table 2.
    2. The concentration table may be used to determine compliance with 
the standard based on environmental measurements provided these 
measurements are made in conformance with the requirements of Sec.
61.107(b)(5).

                         4. NCRP Screening Model

    The procedures described in Reference (4) may be used to determine 
doses to members of the general public from emissions of radionuclides 
to the atmosphere. Both the total dose from all radionuclides emitted, 
and the dose caused by radioactive iodine must be considered in 
accordance with the procedures in Ref. (1).

                       5. The COMPLY Computer Code

    The COMPLY computer code may be used to determine compliance with 
subpart I. The compliance model in the COMPLY computer code may be used 
to determine the dose to members of the general public from emissions of 
radionuclides to the atmosphere. The EPA may add radionuclides to all or 
any part of COMPLY to cover radionuclides that may be used by the 
regulated community.

                      Subpart A_General Provisions



Sec.62.01  Definitions.

    As used in this part, all terms not defined herein shall have the 
meaning given to them in the Clean Air Act and in part 60 of this 
chapter.



Sec.62.02  Introduction.

    (a) This part sets forth the Administrator's approval and 
disapproval of State plans for the control of pollutants and facilities 
under section 111(d), and section 129 as applicable, of the Act, and the 
Administrator's promulgation of such plans or portions of plans thereof. 
Approval of a plan or any portion of a plan is based on a determination 
by the Administrator that it meets the requirements of section 111(d), 
and section 129 as applicable, of the Act and provisions of part 60 of 
this chapter.
    (b)(1) If a State does not submit a complete, approvable plan, the 
Administrator may then promulgate a substitute plan or part of a plan. 
The promulgated provision, plus the approved parts of the State plan, 
constitute the applicable plan for purposes of the act.
    (2) The part 60 subpart A of this chapter general provisions and 
appendices to part 60 apply to part 62, except as follows: 40 CFR 
60.7(a)(1), 60.7(a)(3), and 60.8(a) and where special provisions set 
forth under the applicable subpart of this part shall apply instead of 
any conflicting provisions.
    (c) The Administrator will promulgate substitute provisions for the 
disapproved regulatory provisions only. If a nonregulatory provision is 
disapproved, however, it will be noted in this part and a detailed 
explanation will be sent to the State.
    (d) Section 62.12 provides information on availability of applicable 
plans. The Administrator and state and local agencies shall enforce
    (1) Regulatory provisions of a plan approved or promulgated by the 
Administrator, and
    (2) All permit conditions or denials issued in carrying out the 
approved or promulgated regulations for the review of designated 
facilities.
    (e) Each State's plan is dealt with in a separate subpart, with 
separate headings for different pollutants and facilities. The plans 
shall include an introductory section identifying the plan by name and 
the date of its submittal. Additional sections are included as necessary 
to specifically identify disapproved provisions, to set forth reasons 
for disapproval, and to set forth provisions of the plan promulgated by 
the Administrator. Except as otherwise specified, all supplemental 
information submitted to the Administrator with respect to any plan has 
been submitted by the Governor of the State.
    (f) Revisions to applicable plans will be included in this part when 
approved or promulgated by the Administrator.
    (g) Substitute plans promulgated by the Administrator for States 
that do not have approved plans are contained in separate subparts that 
appear after the subparts for States. These Federal plans include 
sections identifying the applicability of the plan, emission limits, 
compliance schedules, recordkeeping and reporting, performance testing, 
and monitoring requirements.

[43 FR 51393, Nov. 3, 1978, as amended at 63 FR 63201, Nov. 12, 1998; 68 
FR 5158, Jan. 31, 2003; 84 FR 45657, Aug. 30, 2019]



Sec.62.03  Extensions.

    The Administrator may, whenever he determines necessary, extend the 
period for submission of any plan or plan revision or portion thereof.



Sec.62.04  Approval status.

    The approval status of each State's plan or portions thereof, are 
set forth in each subpart. All plans are approved unless specifically 
disapproved in the appropriate subpart.



Sec.62.05  Legal authority.

    (a) The Administrator's determination of the absence or inadequacy 
of legal authority required to be included in the plan is set forth in 
each subpart. This includes the legal authority of

[[Page 365]]

local agencies and State governmental agencies other than an air 
pollution control agency if such other agencies are assigned 
responsibility for carrying out a plan or portion thereof.
    (b) No legal authority as such is promulgated by the Administrator. 
Where required regulatory provisions are not included in the plan by the 
State because of inadequate authority, substitute provisions are 
promulgated by the Administrator.



Sec.62.06  Negative declarations.

    A State may submit to the Administrator a letter certifying that no 
designated facilities exist in the State if such is the case. The 
negative declaration will be in lieu of a plan.



Sec.62.07  Emission standards, compliance schedules.

    (a) In each subpart, emission standards and compliance schedules 
which have been disapproved by the Administrator are identified, and 
those promulgated by the Administrator are set forth.
    (b) The Administrator's approval or promulgation of any compliance 
schedule shall not affect the responsibility of the owner or operator to 
comply with any applicable emission limitation on or after the date for 
final compliance specified in the applicable schedule.



Sec.62.08  Emission inventories and source surveillance.

    (a) Each subpart identifies the plan provisions for source 
surveillance which are disapproved, and sets forth the Administrator's 
promulgation of necessary provisions for requiring designated sources to 
maintain records, make reports, and submit information.
    (b) The Administrator will not promulgate provisions for disapproved 
State or local agency procedures for testing, inspection, investigation, 
or detection. However, detailed critiques of such portions will be 
provided to the State.



Sec.62.09  Revision of plans by Administrator.

    After notice and opportunity for public hearing in each affected 
State, the Administrator may revise any provision of an applicable plan 
if:
    (a) The provision was promulgated by the Administrator and
    (b) The plan, as revised, will be consistent with the Act and with 
the requirements of part 60, subpart B of this chapter.



Sec.62.10  Submission to Administrator.

    Except as otherwise provided in Sec.60.23 of this chapter, all 
requests, reports, applications, submittals, and other communications to 
the Administrator pursuant to this part shall be submitted in duplicate 
and addressed to the appropriate Regional office of the Environmental 
Protection Agency.'' The Regional offices are as follows:

[[Page 469]]

    (4) For affected facilities that are subject to the schedule 
requirements of paragraph (b)(1) or (b)(2) of this section, the owner or 
operator (or the State air pollution control authority) may submit for 
approval alternative dates for achieving increments 2, 3, and 4. The 
owner or operator (or the State air pollution control authority) that is 
submitting these alternative dates must meet the reporting requirements 
of Sec.62.14109(m).
    (c) The owner or operator of an affected facility that has ceased 
operation but will reopen prior to the applicable final compliance date 
specified in paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(4) of this section must meet 
the same compliance dates and increments of progress specified in

through (b)(4) of this section must comply with the emission limits, 
requirements for combustor operating practices, and operator training 
and certification requirements of this subpart upon the date the 
affected facility restarts. The initial performance tests required by 
Sec.62.14109(c) must be conducted within 180 days after the date the 
unit restarts.
    (e) The owner or operator of an affected facility that will be de-
rated prior to the applicable final compliance date instead of complying 
with the emission limits of this subpart must meet the same increments 
of progress and achieve the de-rating by the final compliance date 
(specified in paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(4) of this section) that 
would be applicable to the affected facility if it did not de-rate. The 
owner or operator of an affected facility that will be de-rated must 
meet the reporting requirements of Sec.62.14109k. After de-rating is 
accomplished, the municipal waste combustor affected facility is no 
longer subject to this subpart.



Sec.62.14109  Reporting and recordkeeping and compliance and
performance testing.

    (a) The owner or operator of an affected facility must comply with 
the reporting and recordkeeping provisions listed in 40 CFR 60.59b of 
subpart Eb, except as provided in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(3) of 
this section.
    (1) The siting requirements under 40 CFR 60.59b(a), (b)(5), and 
(d)(11) of subpart Eb and the notification of construction requirements 
under 40 CFR 60.59b(b) and (c) of subpart Eb do not apply.
    (2) 40 CFR 60.54b, 60.56b, and 60.58b(g)(5)(iii) of subpart Eb do 
not apply to this subpart (see Sec. Sec.62.14105 and 62.14107 of this 
subpart).
    (b) The owner or operator of an affected facility must comply with 
the compliance and performance testing methods and procedures listed in 
40 CFR 60.58b of subpart Eb, except as provided in paragraphs (c) and 
(d) of this section.
    (c) The initial performance test must be completed within 180 days 
after the date of final compliance specified in Sec.62.14108, rather 
than the date for the initial performance test specified in 40 CFR 
60.58b of subpart Eb.
    (d) The owner or operator of an affected facility may follow the 
alternative performance testing schedule for dioxin/furan emissions 
specified in paragraph (d)(1) of this section.
    (1) If all performance tests for all affected facilities at the MWC 
plant over a 2-year period indicate that dioxin/furan emissions are less 
than or equal to 15 nanograms per dry standard cubic meter total mass, 
corrected to 7 percent oxygen for all affected facilities located within 
a municipal waste combustor plant, the owner or operator of the 
municipal waste combustor plant may elect to conduct annual performance 
tests for one affected facility (i.e., unit) per year at the municipal 
waste combustor plant. At a minimum, a performance test for dioxin/furan 
emissions shall be conducted annually (no more than 12 months following 
the previous performance test) for one affected facility at the 
municipal waste combustor plant. Each year a different affected facility 
at the municipal waste combustor plant shall be tested, and

[[Page 470]]

the affected facilities at the plant shall be tested in sequence (e.g., 
unit 1, unit 2, unit 3, as applicable). If each annual performance test 
continues to indicate a dioxin/furan emission level less than or equal 
to 15 nanograms per dry standard cubic meter (total mass), the owner or 
operator may continue conducting a performance test on only one affected 
facility per year. If any annual performance test indicates a dioxin/
furan emission level greater than 15 nanograms per dry standrd cubic 
meter (total mass), performance tests thereafter shall be conducted 
annually on all affected facilities at the plant until and unless all 
annual performance tests for all affected facilities at the plant over a 
2-year period indicate a dioxin/furan emission level less than or equal 
to 15 nanograms per dry standard cubic meter (total mass).
    (2) The owner or operator who is following the alternative 
performance testing schedule for dioxin/furan emissions specified in 
paragraph (d)(1) of this section may choose an alternative testing 
sequence (e.g., unit 1, 3, 2, 4) for affected facilities at the 
municipal waste combustor plant. The owner or operator must submit a 
request to EPA for approval of the alternative testing sequence. After 
approval, the alternative testing sequence is effective until a 
different testing sequence is received and approved by EPA.
    (e) The owner or operator of an affected facility that is taking 
longer than 1 year after the date of publication of this subpart FFF 
final rule to comply with the emission limits of this subpart must 
submit notification to the EPA Regional Office within 10 business days 
of completing each increment. Each notification must indicate which 
increment of progress specified in Sec.62.14108(a)(1) through (a)(5) 
has been achieved. The notification must be signed by the owner or 
operator of the affected facility.
    (f) The owner or operator of an affected facility that is taking 
longer than 1 year after the date of publication of this subpart FFF to 
comply with the emission limits of this subpart who fails to meet any 
increment of progress specified in Sec.62.14108(a)(1) through (a)(5) 
according to the applicable schedule in Sec.62.14108 must submit 
notification to the EPA Regional Office within 10 business days of the 
applicable date in Sec.62.14108 that the owner or operator failed to 
meet the increment.
    (g) The owner or operator of an affected facility that is taking 
longer than 1 year after the date of publication of this subpart FFF to 
comply with the emission limits of this subpart must submit a final 
control plan by the date specified in Sec.62.14108(b) with the 
notification required by Sec.62.14109(e). The final control plan must, 
at a minimum, include a description of the air pollution control devices 
or process changes that will be employed for each unit to comply with 
the emission limits and other requirements of this subpart.
    (h) The owner or operator of an affected facility that is taking 
longer than 1 year after the date of publication of this subpart FFF to 
comply with the emission limits of this subpart must submit a signed 
copy of the contract or contracts awarded according to the requirements 
of Sec.62.14108(a)(2) with the notification required by Sec.
62.14109(e).
    (i) The owner or operator of an affected facility that is taking 
longer than 1 year after the date of publication of this subpart FFF to 
comply with the emission limits of this subpart must keep on site a copy 
of the final control plan required by Sec.62.14109(g).
    (j) The owner or operator of an affected facility that plans to 
cease operation of the affected facility on or before December 19, 2000 
rather than comply with the emission limits of this subpart by the 
applicable compliance date specified in Sec.62.14108 must submit a 
notification by the date specified for the final control plan according 
to the schedule specified in paragraphs Sec.62.14108(b)(1) through 
(b)(4), as applicable. (Affected facilities that cease operation on or 
before December 19, 2000 rather than comply with the emission limits of 
this subpart by the compliance date specified in Sec.62.14108 are not 
required to submit a final control plan.) The notification must state 
the date by which the affected facility will cease operation. If the 
cease operation date is later than 1 year after the date

[[Page 471]]

of publication of this subpart FFF, the owner or operator must enter 
into a legally binding closure agreement with EPA by the date the final 
control plan is due. The agreement must specify the date by which 
operation will cease.
    (k) The owner or operator of an affected facility that plans to de-
rate the affected facility on or before December 19, 2000 rather than 
comply with the emission limits of this subpart by the compliance date 
specified in Sec.62.14108 must submit a final control plan as required 
by paragraph (g) of this section and submit notification of increments 
of progress as required by paragraphs (e) and (f) of this section and 
Sec.62.14108(e) of this subpart.
    (1) The final control plan must, at a minimum, include the 
information in paragraphs (k)(1)(i) and (k)(1)(ii) of this section 
rather than the information in paragraph (g) of this section.
    (i) A description of the physical changes that will be made to 
accomplish the de-rating.
    (ii) Calculations of the current maximum combustion capacity and the 
planned maximum combustion capacity after the de-rating. (See the 
procedures specified in 40 CFR 60.58b(j) of subpart Eb for calculating 
municipal waste combustor unit capacity.)
    (2) The owner or operator must submit a signed copy of the contract 
or contracts awarded to initiate the de-rating with the notification 
required by paragraph (e) of this section.
    (l) The owner or operator of an affected facility that is ceasing 
operation more than 1 year following the date of publication of this 
subpart FFF must submit performance test results for dioxin/furan 
emissions conducted during or after 1990 for each affected facility by 
the date 1 year after the date of publication of this subpart FFF. The 
performance test shall be conducted according to the procedure in 
paragraph (b) of this section.
    (m) The owner or operator (or the State air pollution control 
authority) that is submitting alternative dates for increments 2, 3, and 
4 according to Sec.62.14108(b)(4) must submit the alternative dates by 
the date specified for the final control plan according to the schedule 
specified in paragraphs Sec.62.14108 (b)(1) and (b)(2), as applicable. 
The owner or operator (or the State air pollution control authority) 
must submit a justification if any of the alternative dates are later 
than the increment dates in tables 4 or 5 of this subpart. The owner or 
operator must also submit the alternative dates and justification to the 
State.

Sec.62.14350  Scope and delegation of authority.

    (a) This subpart contains emission requirements and compliance 
schedules for the control of designated pollutants from certain 
municipal solid waste landfills in accordance with section 111(d) of the 
Clean Air Act and 40 CFR part 60, subpart B. This municipal solid waste 
landfills Federal plan applies to each designated facility as defined in 
Sec.62.14352 of this subpart that is not covered by an EPA approved 
and currently effective State or Tribal plan.
    (b) The following authorities shall be retained by the Administrator 
and not transferred to the State or Tribe upon delegation of authority 
to the State or Tribe to implement and enforce the Federal plan pursuant 
to sections 101(a)(3) and 111 of the Clean Air Act:
    (1) Approval of alternative methods to determine site-specific NMOC 
concentration (C NMOC) or site-specific methane generation 
rate constant (k) used in calculating the annual NMOC emission rate (as 
provided in 40 CFR 60.754(a)(5) of subpart WWW),
    (2) Alternative emission standards,
    (3) Major alternatives \1\ to test methods,
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Major changes to test methods or to monitoring are modifications 
made to a federally enforceable test method or to a federal monitoring 
requirement. These changes would involve the use of unproven technology 
or procedures or an entirely new method (which is sometimes necessary 
when the required test method or monitoring requirement is unsuitable).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (4) Major alternatives to monitoring, or
    (5) Waivers of recordkeeping.



Sec.62.14351  Definitions.

    Terms used but not defined in this subpart have the meaning given 
them in the Clean Air Act and 40 CFR part 60, subparts A, B, and WWW.
    Achieve final compliance means to connect and operate the collection 
and control system as specified in the final control plan. Within 180 
days after the date the landfill is required to achieve final 
compliance, the initial performance test must be conducted.
    Award contract means the MSW landfill owner or operator enters into 
legally binding agreements or contractual obligations that cannot be 
canceled or modified without substantial financial loss to the MSW 
landfill owner or operator. The MSW landfill owner or operator may award 
a number of contracts to install the collection and control system. To 
meet this increment of progress, the MSW landfill owner or operator must 
award a contract or contracts to initiate on-site

[[Page 475]]

construction or installation of the collection and control system.
    Complete on-site construction means that all necessary collection 
system components and air pollution control devices identified in the 
final control plan are on site, in place, and ready for operation.
    Design capacity means the maximum amount of solid waste a landfill 
can accept, as indicated in terms of volume or mass in the most recent 
permit issued by the State, local, or Tribal agency responsible for 
regulating the landfill, plus any in-place waste not accounted for in 
the most recent permit. If the owner or operator chooses to convert the 
design capacity from volume to mass or from mass to volume to 
demonstrate its design capacity is less than 2.5 million megagrams or 
2.5 million cubic meters, the calculation must include a site-specific 
density, which must be recalculated annually.
    EPA approved State plan means a State plan that EPA has approved 
based on the requirements in 40 CFR part 60, subpart B to implement and 
enforce 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cc. An approved State plan becomes 
effective on the date specified in the notice published in the Federal 
Register announcing EPA's approval.
    Federal Indian Reservation means for purposes of the Clean Air Act, 
all land within the limits of any Indian reservation under the 
jurisdiction of the United States government, notwithstanding the 
issuance of any patent, and including rights-of-way running through the 
reservation.
    Final control plan (Collection and control system design plan) means 
a plan that describes the collection and control system that will 
capture the gas generated within an MSW landfill. The collection and 
control system design plan must be prepared by a professional engineer 
and must describe a collection and control system that meets the 
requirements of 40 CFR 60.752(b)(2)(ii). The final control plan must 
contain engineering specifications and drawings of the collection and 
control system. The final control plan must include any alternatives to 
the operational standards, test methods, procedures, compliance 
measures, monitoring, recordkeeping or reporting provisions of 40 CFR 
60.753 through 60.758 proposed by the owner or operator. The final 
control plan must either conform with the specifications for active 
collection systems in 40 CFR 60.759 or include a demonstration that 
shows that based on the size of the landfill and the amount of waste 
expected to be accepted, the system is sized properly to collect the 
gas, control emissions of NMOC to the required level and meet the 
operational standards for a landfill.
    Indian Country means all land within the limits of any Indian 
reservation under the jurisdiction of the United States government, 
notwithstanding the issuance of any patent, and including rights-of-way 
running through the reservation; all dependent Indian communities within 
the borders of the United States whether within the original or 
subsequently acquired territory thereof, and whether within or without 
the limits of a State; and all Indian allotments, the Indian titles to 
which have not been extinguished, including rights-of-way running 
through the same.
    Initiate on-site construction means to begin any of the following: 
installation of the collection and control system to be used to comply 
with the emission limits as outlined in the final control plan; physical 
preparation necessary for the installation of the collection and control 
system to be used to comply with the final emission limits as outlined 
in the final control plan; or, alteration of an existing collection and 
control system to be used to comply with the final emission limits as 
outlined in the final control plan.
    Modification means an increase in the permitted volume design 
capacity of the landfill by either horizontal or vertical expansion 
based on its permitted design capacity as of May 30, 1991. Modification 
does not occur until the owner or operator commences construction on the 
horizontal or vertical expansion.
    Municipal solid waste landfill or MSW landfill means an entire 
disposal facility in a contiguous geographical space where household 
waste is placed in or on land. A municipal solid waste landfill may also 
receive other types of RCRA Subtitle D wastes such as commercial solid 
waste, nonhazardous

[[Page 476]]

sludge, conditionally exempt small quantity generator waste, and 
industrial solid waste. Portions of a municipal solid waste landfill may 
be separated by access roads. A municipal solid waste landfill may be 
publicly or privately owned.
    Negative declaration letter means a letter to EPA declaring that 
there are no existing MSW landfills in the State or that there are no 
existing MSW landfills in the State that must install collection and 
control systems according to the requirements of 40 CFR part 60, subpart 
Cc. The negative declaration letter must include the design capacities 
of any existing MSW landfills with a design capacity less than 2.5 
million megagrams or 2.5 million cubic meters.
    Protectorate means American Samoa, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, 
the District of Columbia, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the 
Virgin Islands.

Sec.62.14352  Designated facilities.

    (a) The designated facility to which this subpart applies is each 
municipal solid waste landfill in all States, protectorates, and Indian 
Country that meets the conditions of paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of 
this section, except for landfills exempted by paragraphs (b) and (c) of 
this section.
    (1) The municipal solid waste landfill commenced construction, 
reconstruction, or modification before May 30, 1991 (landfills that 
commence construction, modification, or reconstruction on or after May 
30, 1991 are subject to 40 CFR part 60, subpart WWW), and
    (2) The municipal solid waste landfill has accepted waste at any 
time since November 8, 1987 or the landfill has additional capacity for 
future waste deposition.
    (b) A municipal solid waste landfill regulated by an EPA approved 
and currently effective State or Tribal plan is not subject to the 
requirements of this subpart. States that have an approved and effective 
State plan are listed in table 1 of this subpart. Notwithstanding the 
exclusions in table 1 of this subpart, any MSW landfill located in a 
State or portion of Indian country that does not have an EPA approved 
and currently effective State or Tribal plan is subject to the 
requirements of this subpart.
    (c) A municipal solid waste landfill located in a State, locality, 
or portion of Indian country that submitted a negative declaration 
letter is not subject to the requirements of this subpart other than the 
requirements in the definition of design capacity to recalculate the 
site-specific density annually and in Sec.62.14355 to submit an 
amended design capacity report in the event that the recalculated design 
capacity is equal to or greater than 2.5 million megagrams and 2.5 
million cubic meters. However, if the existing municipal solid waste 
landfill already has a design capacity equal to or greater than 2.5 
million megagrams and 2.5 million cubic meters, then it is subject to 
the requirements of the Federal plan. States, localities, or portions of 
Indian country that submitted negative declaration letters are listed in 
table 2 of this subpart.
    (d) Physical or operational changes made to an existing municipal 
solid waste landfill solely to comply with an emission guideline are not 
considered a modification or reconstruction and would not subject an 
existing municipal solid waste landfill to the requirements of 40 CFR 
part 60, subpart WWW.
    (e) For purposes of obtaining an operating permit under title V of 
the Clean Air Act, the owner or operator of a municipal solid waste 
landfill subject to this subpart with a design capacity less than 2.5 
million megagrams or 2.5 million cubic meters is not subject to the 
requirement to obtain an operating permit for the landfill under part 70 
or 71 of this chapter, unless the landfill is otherwise subject to 
either part 70 or

[[Page 477]]

71. For purposes of submitting a timely application for an operating 
permit under part 70 or 71, the owner or operator of a municipal solid 
waste landfill subject to this subpart with a design capacity greater 
than or equal to 2.5 million megagrams and 2.5 million cubic meters on 
January 7, 2,000 and not otherwise subject to either part 70 or 71, 
becomes subject to the requirements of Sec.70.5(a)(1)(i) or Sec.
71.5(a)(1)(i) of this chapter April 6, 2000, even if the initial design 
capacity report is submitted earlier. In addition, the owner or operator 
of a municipal solid waste landfill subject to this subpart with a 
design capacity less than 2.5 million megagrams or 2.5 million cubic 
meters on January 7, 2000, and not otherwise subject to either part 70 
or 71, but whose design capacity subsequently increases to equal or 
exceed 2.5 million megagrams and 2.5 million cubic meters by a change 
that is not a modification or reconstruction becomes subject to the 
requirements of Sec.70.5(a)(1)(i) or Sec.71.5(a)(1)(i) of this 
chapter upon the date the amended design capacity report is due.
    (f) When a municipal solid waste landfill subject to this subpart is 
closed, the owner or operator is no longer subject to the requirement to 
maintain an operating permit under part 70 or 71 of this chapter for the 
landfill if the landfill is not otherwise subject to the requirements of 
either part 70 or 71 and if either of the following conditions are met:
    (1) The landfill was never subject to the requirement for a control 
system under Sec.62.14353 of this subpart; or
    (2) The owner or operator meets the conditions for control system 
removal specified in 40 CFR 60.752(b)(2)(v).



Sec.62.14353  Standards for municipal solid waste landfill emissions.

    (a) The owner or operator of a designated facility having a design 
capacity less than 2.5 million megagrams or 2.5 million cubic meters 
must comply with the requirements of 40 CFR 60.752(a) in addition to the 
applicable reporting and recordkeeping requirements specified in this 
subpart.
    (b) The owner or operator of a designated facility having a design 
capacity equal to or greater than 2.5 million megagrams and 2.5 million 
cubic meters must comply with the requirements of 40 CFR 60.752(b) in 
addition to the applicable reporting and recordkeeping requirements 
specified in this subpart.



Sec.62.14354  Procedures, test methods, and monitoring.

    (a) The owner or operator of a designated facility having a design 
capacity equal to or greater than 2.5 million megagrams and 2.5 million 
cubic meters must calculate the landfill nonmethane organic compounds 
emission rate using the procedures listed in 40 CFR 60.754, as 
applicable, to determine whether the landfill nonmethane organic 
compounds emission rate equals or exceeds 50 megagrams per year.
    (b) The owner or operator of a designated facility with a gas 
collection and control system used to comply with Sec.62.14353(b) must 
comply with the operational standards in 40 CFR 60.753; the test 
procedures in 40 CFR 60.754(b) and (d); the compliance provisions in 40 
CFR 60.755; and the monitoring provisions in 40 CFR 60.756, unless 
alternative procedures have been approved.



Sec.62.14355  Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

    (a) The owner or operator of a designated facility must comply with 
the recordkeeping and reporting provisions listed in 40 CFR 60.757 and 
60.758, except as provided for under paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) of

due within 90 days of the effective date of this subpart. Existing MSW 
landfills with a design capacity less than 2.5 million megagrams or 2.5 
million cubic meters that are located in States that submitted a 
negative declaration letter are not required to submit an initial design 
capacity report provided that the MSW landfill's design capacity was 
included in the negative declaration letter.
    (2) The initial nonmethane organic compounds emission rate report 
for a designated facility is due within 90 days of the effective date of 
this subpart.

[[Page 478]]

    (b) The owner or operator of a designated facility must submit 
notification to the EPA Regional Office within 10 business days of 
completing each increment of progress. Each notification must indicate 
which increment of progress specified in Sec.62.14356(a)(1) through 
(a)(5) of this subpart has been achieved. The notification must be 
signed by the owner or operator of the landfill.
    (1) For the first increment of progress, the final control plan 
(collection and control system design plan) must be submitted in 
addition to the notification. A copy of the design plan must also be 
kept on site at the landfill.
    (2) For the second increment of progress, a signed copy of the 
contract(s) awarded must be submitted in addition to the notification.
    (c) The owner or operator of a designated facility who fails to meet 
any increment of progress specified in Sec.62.14356(a)(1) through 
(a)(5) of this subpart according to the applicable schedule in Sec.
62.14356 of this subpart must submit notification that the owner or 
operator failed to meet the increment to the EPA Regional Office within 
10 business days of the applicable date in Sec.62.14356.
    (d) The owner or operator (or the State or Tribal air pollution 
control authority) that is submitting alternative dates for increments 2 
and 3 according to Sec.62.14356(d) of this subpart must do so by the 
date specified for submitting the final control plan. The date for 
submitting the final control plan is specified in Sec.62.14356(c)(1) 
and (c)(2) of this subpart, as applicable. The owner or operator (or the 
State or Tribal air pollution control authority) must submit a 
justification if any of the alternative dates are later than the 
increment dates in table 3 of this subpart. In addition to submitting 
the alternative dates to the appropriate EPA Regional Office, the owner 
or operator must also submit the alternative dates to the State.



Sec.62.14356  Compliance schedules and increments of progress.

    (a) Increments of progress. The owner or operator of a designated 
facility that has a design capacity equal to or greater than 2.5 million 
megagrams and 2.5 million cubic meters and a nonmethane organic compound 
emission rate greater than or equal to 50 megagrams per year must 
achieve the increments of progress specified in paragraphs (a)(1) 
through (a)(5) of this section to install air pollution control devices 
to meet the emission standards specified in Sec.62.14353(b) of this 
subpart. (Refer to Sec.62.14351 for a definition of each increment of 
progress.)
    (1) Submit control plan: Submit a final control plan (collection and 
control system design plan) according to the requirements of Sec.
62.14353(b) of this subpart and 40 CFR 60.752(b)(2).
    (2) Award contract(s): Award contract(s) to initiate on-site 
construction or initiate on-site installation of emission collection 
and/or control equipment.
    (3) Initiate on-site construction: Initiate on-site construction or 
initiate on-site installation of emission collection and/or control 
equipment as described in the EPA-approved final control plan.
    (4) Complete on-site construction: Complete on-site construction and 
installation of emission collection and/or control equipment.
    (5) Achieve final compliance: Complete construction in accordance 
with the design specified in the EPA-approved final control plan and 
connect the landfill gas collection system and air pollution control 
equipment such that they are fully operating. The initial performance 
test must be conducted within 180 days after the date the facility is 
required to achieve final compliance.
    (b) Compliance date. For each designated facility that has a design 
capacity equal to or greater than 2.5 million megagrams and 2.5 million 
cubic meters and a nonmethane organic compound emission rate greater 
than or equal to 50 Mg per year, planning, awarding of contracts, and 
installation of municipal solid waste landfill air emission collection 
and control equipment capable of meeting the standards in Sec.
62.14353(b) must be accomplished within 30 months after the date the 
initial emission rate report (or the annual emission rate report) first 
shows that the nonmethane organic compounds

[[Page 479]]

emission rate equals or exceeds 50 megagrams per year.
    (c) Compliance schedules. The owner or operator of a designated 
facility that has a design capacity equal to or greater than 2.5 million 
megagrams and 2.5 million cubic meters and a nonmethane organic compound 
emission rate greater than or equal to 50 megagrams per year must 
achieve the increments of progress specified in paragraphs (a)(1) 
through (a)(5) of this section according to the schedule specified in 
paragraph (c)(1) or (c)(2) of this section, unless a site-specific 
schedule is approved by EPA.
    (1) The owner or operator of a designated facility must achieve the 
increments of progress according to the schedule in table 3 of this 
subpart, except for those affected facilities specified in paragraph 
(c)(2) of this section. Once this subpart becomes effective on January 
7, 2000, any designated facility to which this subpart applies will 
remain subject to the schedule in table 3 if a subsequently approved 
State or Tribal plan contains a less stringent schedule, (i.e., a 
schedule that provides more time to comply with increments 1, 4 and/or 5 
than does this Federal plan).
    (2) The owner or operator of the specified designated facility in 
table 4 of this subpart must achieve the increments of progress 
according to the schedule in table 4 of this subpart.
    (d) For designated facilities that are subject to the schedule 
requirements of paragraph (c)(1) of this section, the owner or operator 
(or the State or Tribal air pollution control authority) may submit to 
the appropriate EPA Regional Office for approval alternative dates for 
achieving increments 2 and 3.

Sec.62.14401  How do I determine if my HMIWI is covered by an approved
and effective State or Tribal plan?

    This part (40 CFR part 62) contains a list of all states and tribal 
areas with approved Clean Air Act (CAA) section 111(d)/129 plans in 
effect. However, this part is only updated once a year. Thus, if this 
part does not indicate that your state or tribal area has an approved 
and effective plan, you should contact your state environmental agency's 
air director or your EPA Regional Office to determine if approval 
occurred since

[[Page 482]]

publication of the most recent version of this part. A state may also 
meet its CAA section 111(d)/129 obligations by submitting an acceptable 
written request for delegation of the federal plan that meets the 
requirements of this section. This is the only other option for a state 
to meet its 111(d)/129 obligations.
    (a) An acceptable Federal plan delegation request must include the 
following:
    (1) A demonstration of adequate resources and legal authority to 
administer and enforce the Federal plan.
    (2) The items under Sec. Sec.60.25(a) and 60.39e(c).
    (3) Certification that the hearing on the state delegation request, 
similar to the hearing for a state plan submittal, was held, a list of 
witnesses and their organizational affiliations, if any, appearing at 
the hearing, and a brief written summary of each presentation or written 
submission.
    (4) A commitment to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement with the 
Regional Administrator who sets forth the terms, conditions and 
effective date of the delegation and that serves as the mechanism for 
the transfer of authority. Additional guidance and information is given 
in the EPA's Delegation Manual, Item 7-139, Implementation and 
Enforcement of 111(d)(2) and 111(d)(2)/129(b)(3) Federal plans.
    (b) A state with an already approved HMIWI CAA section 111(d)/129 
state plan is not precluded from receiving EPA approval of a delegation 
request for the revised Federal plan, providing the requirements of 
paragraph (a) of this section are met, and at the time of the delegation 
request, the state also requests withdrawal of the EPA's previous state 
plan approval.
    (c) A state's CAA section 111(d)/129 obligations are separate from 
its obligations under Title V of the CAA.

                          Waste Management Plan



Sec.62.14430  Must I prepare a waste management plan?

    Yes. All HMIWI owners or operators must have a waste management 
plan.



Sec.62.14431  What must my waste management plan include?

    (a) Your waste management plan must identify both the feasibility 
of, and the approach for, separating certain components of solid waste 
from the health care waste stream in order to reduce the amount of toxic 
emissions from incinerated waste. The waste management plan you develop

[[Page 485]]

may address, but is not limited to, elements such as segregation and 
recycling of paper, cardboard, plastics, glass, batteries, food waste 
and metals (e.g., aluminum cans, metals-containing devices); segregation 
of non-recyclable wastes (e.g., polychlorinated biphenyl-containing 
waste, pharmaceutical waste, and mercury-containing waste such as dental 
waste); and purchasing recycled or recyclable products. Your waste 
management plan may include different goals or approaches for different 
areas or departments of the facility and need not include new waste 
management goals for every waste stream. When you develop your waste 
management plan, it should identify, where possible, reasonably 
available additional waste management measures, taking into account the 
effectiveness of waste management measures already in place, the costs 
of additional measures, the emissions reductions expected to be 
achieved, and any other potential environmental or energy impacts they 
might have. In developing your waste management plan, you must consider 
the American Hospital Association (AHA) publication titled ``Ounce of 
Prevention: Waste Reduction Strategies for Health Care Facilities.'' 
This publication (AHA Catalog Number 057007) is available for purchase 
from AHA Services, Inc., Post Office Box 933283, Atlanta, Georgia 31193-
3283.
    (b) If you own or operate commercial HMIWI, you must conduct 
training and education programs in waste segregation for each of your 
waste generator clients and ensure that each client prepares its own 
waste management plan that includes, but is not limited to, the 
provisions listed in this section.
    (c) If you own or operate commercial HMIWI, you must conduct 
training and education programs in waste segregation for your HMIWI 
operators.

[78 FR 28067, May 13, 2013]

             Performance Testing and Monitoring Requirements



Sec.62.14450  [Reserved]



Sec.62.14451  What are the testing requirements for HMIWI that are
not small rural?

    (a) Except as specified in paragraph (e) of this section, you must 
conduct an initial performance test for PM, opacity, CO, dioxin/furan, 
HCl, Pb, Cd, Hg, SO2, NOX and fugitive ash 
emissions using the test methods and procedures outlined in Sec.
62.14452.
    (b) After the initial performance test is completed or is required 
to be completed under Sec.62.14470, whichever date comes first, you 
must:
    (1) Determine compliance with the opacity limit by conducting an 
annual performance test (no more than 12

[[Page 487]]

months following the previous performance test) using the applicable 
procedures and test methods listed in Sec.62.14452.
    (2) Determine compliance with the PM, CO, and HCl emission limits by 
conducting an annual performance test (no more than 12 months following 
the previous performance test) using the applicable procedures and test 
methods listed in Sec.62.14452. If all three performance tests over a 
3-year period indicate compliance with the emission limit for a 
pollutant (PM, CO, or HCl), you may forego a performance test for that 
pollutant for the next 2 years. At a minimum, you must conduct a 
performance test for PM, CO, and HCl every third year (no more than 36 
months following the previous performance test). If a performance test 
conducted every third year indicates compliance with the emission limit 
for a pollutant (PM, CO, or HCl), you may forego a performance test for 
that pollutant for an additional 2 years. If any performance test 
indicates noncompliance with the respective emission limit, you must 
conduct a performance test for that pollutant annually until all annual 
performance tests over a 3-year period indicate compliance with the 
emission limit.
    (3) If you use a large HMIWI that commenced construction or 
modification according to Sec.62.14400(a)(2)(ii), determine compliance 
with the visible emissions limits for fugitive emissions from flyash/
bottom ash storage and handling by conducting a performance test using 
EPA Reference Method 22 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7 on an annual 
basis (no more than 12 months following the previous performance test).
    (c) The 2,000 lb/wk limitation for small rural HMIWI does not apply 
during performance tests.
    (d) The EPA Administrator may request a repeat performance test at 
any time.
    (e) You may use the results of previous emissions tests to 
demonstrate compliance with the emissions limits, provided that the 
conditions in paragraphs (e)(1) through (3) of this section are met:
    (1) Your previous emissions tests must have been conducted using the 
applicable procedures and test methods listed in Sec.62.14452. 
Previous emissions test results obtained using the EPA-accepted 
voluntary consensus standards are also acceptable.
    (2) The HMIWI at your facility must currently be operated in a 
manner (e.g., with charge rate, secondary chamber temperature, etc.) 
that would be expected to result in the same or lower emissions than 
observed during the previous emissions test(s), and the HMIWI may not 
have been modified such that emissions would be expected to exceed the 
results from previous emissions test(s).
    (3) The previous emissions test(s) must have been conducted in 1996 
or later.

[65 FR 49881, Aug. 15, 2000, as amended at 78 FR 28068, May 13, 2013]



Sec.62.14452  What test methods and procedures must I use?

    You must use the following test methods and procedures to conduct 
performance tests to determine compliance with the emission limits:
    (a) All performance tests must consist of a minimum of three test 
runs conducted under representative operating conditions;
    (b) The minimum sample time must be 1 hour per test run unless 
otherwise indicated in this section;
    (c) You must use EPA Reference Method 1 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix 
A-1 to select the sampling location and number of traverse points;
    (d) You must use EPA Reference Method 3, 3A or 3B of 40 CFR part 60, 
appendix A-2 for gas composition analysis, including measurement of 
oxygen concentration. You must use EPA Reference Method 3, 3A or 3B of 
40 CFR part 60, appendix A-2 simultaneously with each reference method. 
You may use ASME PTC-19-10-1981-Part 10 (incorporated by reference in 40

    (e) You must adjust pollutant concentrations to 7 percent oxygen 
using the following equation:

[[Page 488]]

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR15AU00.000

Where:

Cadj = pollutant concentration adjusted to 7 percent oxygen;
Cmeas = pollutant concentration measured on a dry basis at 
          standard conditions
(20.9-7) = 20.9 percent oxygen--7 percent oxygen (defined oxygen 
          correction basis);
20.9 = oxygen concentration in air, percent; and
%O2 = oxygen concentration measured on a dry basis at 
          standard conditions, percent.

specified in Sec.62.14454(e), or PM CEMS, as specified in paragraph 
(o) of this section, as an alternative to demonstrate compliance with 
the opacity requirements;
    (j) You must use EPA Reference Method 10 or 10B of 40 CFR part 60, 
appendix A-4 to measure the CO emissions. You may use CO CEMS, as 
specified in paragraph (o) of this section, as an alternative to 
demonstrate compliance with the CO emissions limit;
    (k) You must use EPA Reference Method 23 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix 
A-7 to measure total dioxin/furan emissions. The minimum sample time 
must be 4 hours per test run. You may elect to sample dioxins/furans by 
installing, calibrating, maintaining and operating a continuous 
automated sampling system, as specified in paragraph (p) of this 
section, as an alternative to demonstrate compliance with the dioxin/
furan emissions limit. If you have selected the toxic equivalency (TEQ) 
standards for dioxin/furans under Sec.62.14411, you must use the 
following procedures to determine compliance:
    (1) Measure the concentration of each dioxin/furan tetra-through 
octa-congener emitted using EPA Reference Method 23 of 40 CFR part 60, 
appendix A-7;
    (2) For each dioxin/furan congener measured in accordance with 
paragraph (k)(1) of this section, multiply the congener concentration by 
its corresponding TEQ factor specified in Table 2 of this subpart;
    (3) Sum the products calculated in accordance with paragraph (k)(2) 
of this section to obtain the total concentration of dioxins/furans 
emitted in terms of TEQ.

appendix A-8 to measure HCl emissions. You may use HCl CEMS as an 
alternative to demonstrate compliance with the HCl emissions limit;
    (m) You must use EPA Reference Method 29 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix 
A-8 to measure Pb, Cd and Hg emissions. You may use ASTM D6784-02 
(incorporated by reference in 40 CFR 60.17) as an alternative to EPA 
Reference Method 29 for measuring Hg emissions. You may also use Hg 
CEMS, as specified in paragraph (o) of this section, or a continuous 
automated sampling system for monitoring Hg emissions, as specified in 
paragraph (q) of this section, as an alternative to demonstrate 
compliance with the Hg emissions limit. You may use multi-metals CEMS, 
as specified in paragraph (o) of this section, as an alternative to EPA 
Reference Method 29 to demonstrate compliance with the Pb, Cd or Hg 
emissions limits;
    (n) You must use EPA Reference Method 22 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix 
A-7 to measure fugitive ash emissions and determine compliance with the 
fugitive ash emissions limit, as applicable, under Sec.60.52c(c). The 
minimum observation time must be a series of three 1-hour observations.

[[Page 489]]

    (o) If you are using a CEMS to demonstrate compliance with any of 
the emissions limits under Sec. Sec.62.14411 or 62.14412, you:
    (1) Must determine compliance with the appropriate emissions 
limit(s) using a 12-hour rolling average, calculated as specified in 
section 12.4.1 of EPA Reference Method 19 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-
7. Performance tests using EPA Reference Methods are not required for 
pollutants monitored with CEMS.
    (2) Must operate a CEMS to measure oxygen concentration, adjusting 
pollutant concentrations to 7 percent oxygen as specified in paragraph 
(e) of this section.
    (3) Must operate all CEMS in accordance with the applicable 
procedures under appendices B and F of 40 CFR part 60. For those CEMS 
for which performance specifications have not yet been promulgated (HCl, 
multi-metals), this option takes effect on the date a final performance 
specification is published in the Federal Register or the date of 
approval of a site-specific monitoring plan.
    (4) May substitute use of a CO CEMS for the CO annual performance 
test and minimum secondary chamber temperature to demonstrate compliance 
with the CO emissions limit.
    (5) May substitute use of an HCl CEMS for the HCl annual performance 
test, minimum HCl sorbent flow rate and minimum scrubber liquor pH to 
demonstrate compliance with the HCl emissions limit.
    (6) May substitute use of a PM CEMS for the PM annual performance 
test and minimum pressure drop across the wet scrubber, if applicable, 
to demonstrate compliance with the PM emissions limit.
    (p) If you are using a continuous automated sampling system to 
demonstrate compliance with the dioxin/furan emissions limits, you must 
record the output of the system and analyze the sample according to EPA 
Reference Method 23 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7. This option to use 
a continuous automated sampling system takes effect on the date a final 
performance specification applicable to dioxin/furan from monitors is 
published in the Federal Register or the date of approval of a site-
specific monitoring plan. If you elect to continuously sample dioxin/
furan emissions instead of sampling and testing using EPA Reference 
Method 23 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7, you must install, calibrate, 
maintain and operate a continuous automated sampling system and comply 
with the requirements specified in 40 CFR 60.58b(p) and (q) of subpart 
Eb.
    (q) If you are using a continuous automated sampling system to 
demonstrate compliance with the Hg emissions limits, you must record the 
output of the system and analyze the sample at set intervals using any 
suitable determinative technique that can meet appropriate performance 
criteria. This option to use a continuous automated sampling system 
takes effect on the date a final performance specification applicable to 
Hg from monitors is published in the Federal Register or the date of 
approval of a site-specific monitoring plan. If you elect to 
continuously sample Hg emissions instead of sampling and testing using 
EPA Reference Method 29 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-8, or an approved 
alternative method for measuring Hg emissions, you must install, 
calibrate, maintain and operate a continuous automated sampling system 
and comply with the requirements specified in 40 CFR 60.58b(p) and (q) 
of subpart Eb.
    (r) Use of the bypass stack during a performance test will 
invalidate the performance test.

Sec.62.14453  What must I monitor?

    (a) If your HMIWI uses combustion control only, or your HMIWI is 
equipped with a dry scrubber followed by a fabric filter (FF), a wet 
scrubber, a dry scrubber followed by a FF and wet scrubber, or a 
selective noncatalytic reduction (SNCR) system:
    (1) You must establish the appropriate maximum and minimum operating 
parameters, indicated in Table 3, as site-specific operating parameters 
during the initial performance test to determine compliance with the 
emission limits; and
    (2) After the date on which the initial performance test is 
completed or is required to be completed under Sec.62.14470,

[[Page 490]]

whichever comes first, your HMIWI must not operate above any of the 
applicable maximum operating parameters or below any of the applicable 
minimum operating parameters listed in Table 3 and measured as 3-hour 
rolling averages (calculated each hour as the average of the previous 3 
operating hours), at all times except during performance tests.
    (b) If you are using an air pollution control device other than a 
dry scrubber followed by a FF, a wet scrubber, a dry scrubber followed 
by a FF and a wet scrubber, or a SNCR system to comply with the 
emissions limits under Sec.62.14411, you must petition the EPA 
Administrator for site-specific operating parameters to be established 
during the initial performance test and you must continuously monitor 
those parameters thereafter. You may not conduct the initial performance 
test until the EPA Administrator has approved the petition.

[65 FR 49881, Aug. 15, 2000, as amended at 78 FR 28069, May 13, 2013]



Sec.62.14454  How must I monitor the required parameters?

    (a) Except as provided in Sec. Sec.62.14452(o) through (q), you 
must install, calibrate (to manufacturers' specifications), maintain and 
operate devices (or establish methods) for monitoring the applicable 
maximum and minimum operating parameters listed in Table 3 of this 
subpart (unless CEMS are used as a substitute for certain parameters as 
specified) such that these devices (or methods) measure and record 
values for the operating parameters at the frequencies indicated in 
Table 3 of this subpart at all times. For charge rate, the device must 
measure and record the date, time and weight of each charge fed to the 
HMIWI. This must be done automatically, meaning that the only 
intervention from an operator during the process would be to load the 
charge onto the weighing device. For batch HMIWI, the maximum charge 
rate is measured on a daily basis (the amount of waste charged to the 
unit each day).
    (b) For all HMIWI, you must install, calibrate (to manufacturers' 
specifications), maintain and operate a device or method for measuring 
the use of the bypass stack, including the date, time and duration of 
such use.
    (c) For all HMIWI, if you are using controls other than a dry 
scrubber followed by a FF, a wet scrubber, a dry scrubber followed by a 
FF and a wet scrubber, or a SNCR system to comply with the emissions 
limits under Sec.62.14411, you must install, calibrate (to 
manufacturers' specifications), maintain and operate the equipment 
necessary to monitor the site-specific operating parameters developed 
pursuant to Sec.62.14453(b).
    (d) You must obtain monitoring data at all times during HMIWI 
operation except during periods of monitoring equipment malfunction, 
calibration, or repair. At a minimum, valid monitoring data must be 
obtained for 75 percent of the operating hours per day for 90 percent of 
the operating days per calendar quarter that your HMIWI is combusting 
hospital waste and/or medical/infectious waste.
    (e) If you use an air pollution control device that includes a FF 
and are not demonstrating compliance using PM CEMS, you must determine 
compliance with the PM emissions limit using a bag leak detection system 
and meet the requirements in paragraphs (e)(1) through (12) of this 
section for each bag leak detection system.
    (1) Each triboelectric bag leak detection system must be installed, 
calibrated, operated and maintained according to the ``Fabric Filter Bag 
Leak Detection Guidance,'' (EPA-454/R-98-015, September 1997). This 
document is available from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 
(U.S. EPA); Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards; Sector 
Policies and Programs Division; Measurement Policy Group (D-243-02), 
Research Triangle Park, NC 27711. This document is also available on the 
Technology Transfer Network (TTN) under Emissions Measurement Center 
Continuous Emissions Monitoring. Other types of bag leak detection 
systems must be installed, operated, calibrated and maintained in a 
manner consistent with the manufacturer's written specifications and 
recommendations.
    (2) The bag leak detection system must be certified by the 
manufacturer

[[Page 491]]

to be capable of detecting PM emissions at concentrations of 10 
milligrams per actual cubic meter (0.0044 grains per actual cubic foot) 
or less.
    (3) The bag leak detection system sensor must provide an output of 
relative PM loadings.
    (4) The bag leak detection system must be equipped with a device to 
continuously record the output signal from the sensor.
    (5) The bag leak detection system must be equipped with an audible 
alarm system that will sound automatically when an increase in relative 
PM emissions over a preset level is detected. The alarm must be located 
where it is easily heard by plant operating personnel.
    (6) For positive pressure FF systems, a bag leak detector must be 
installed in each baghouse compartment or cell.
    (7) For negative pressure or induced air FF, the bag leak detector 
must be installed downstream of the FF.
    (8) Where multiple detectors are required, the system's 
instrumentation and alarm may be shared among detectors.
    (9) The baseline output must be established by adjusting the range 
and the averaging period of the device and establishing the alarm set 
points and the alarm delay time according to section 5.0 of the ``Fabric 
Filter Bag Leak Detection Guidance.''
    (10) Following initial adjustment of the system, the sensitivity or 
range, averaging period, alarm set points or alarm delay time may not be 
adjusted. In no case may the sensitivity be increased by more than 100 
percent or decreased more than 50 percent over a 365-day period unless 
such adjustment follows a complete FF inspection that demonstrates that 
the FF is in good operating condition. Each adjustment must be recorded.
    (11) Record the results of each inspection, calibration and 
validation check.
    (12) Initiate corrective action within 1 hour of a bag leak 
detection system alarm; operate and maintain the FF such that the alarm 
is not engaged for more than 5 percent of the total operating time in a 
6-month block reporting period. If inspection of the FF demonstrates 
that no corrective action is required, no alarm time is counted. If 
corrective action is required, each alarm is counted as a minimum of 1 
hour. If it takes longer than 1 hour to initiate corrective action, the 
alarm time is counted as the actual amount of time taken to initiate 
corrective action.

                          Permitting Obligation



Sec.62.14480  Does this subpart require me to obtain an operating
permit under title V of the Clean Air Act and implementing regulations?

    This subpart requires you to obtain an operating permit under title 
V of the Clean Air Act and implementing regulations (``title V permit'') 
unless you are only subject to the recordkeeping and reporting 
requirements listed at Sec.62.14400(b)(1) or (b)(2), and Sec.
62.14400(c), of this subpart. Also, if you own or operate a unit 
described in Sec.62.14400(b)(3), (b)(4), (b)(5) or (b)(6), you are not 
subject to any requirements of this subpart; therefore, this subpart 
does not require you to obtain a title V permit.



Sec.62.14481  When must I submit a title V permit application for
my HMIWI?

    You must submit a title V permit application in time for it to be 
determined or deemed complete by no later than September 15, 2000 or by 
the effective date of a title V permits program in the jurisdiction in 
which the unit is located, whichever is later. (An earlier deadline may 
apply if your HMIWI is also subject to title V permitting requirements 
because of some other triggering requirement.) A ``complete'' title V 
permit application is one that has been approved by the appropriate 
permitting authority as complete under Section 503 of the Clean Air Act 
and 40 CFR parts 70 and 71. It is not enough to have submitted a title V 
permit application by September 15, 2000 because the application must be 
determined or deemed complete by the permitting authority by that date 
for your HMIWI to operate after that date in compliance with Federal 
law.

  Subpart III_Federal Plan Requirements for Commercial and Industrial 
Solid Waste Incineration Units That Commenced Construction On or Before 
                            November 30, 1999

    Source: 68 FR 57539, Oct. 3, 2003, unless otherwise noted.

[[Page 508]]

                              Introduction



Sec.62.14500  What is the purpose of this subpart?

    (a) This subpart establishes emission requirements and compliance 
schedules for the control of emissions from commercial and industrial 
solid waste incineration (CISWI) units that are not covered by an EPA 
approved and currently effective State or Tribal plan. The pollutants 
addressed by these emission requirements are listed in Table 1 of this 
subpart. These emission requirements are developed in accordance with 
sections 111 and 129 of the Clean Air Act and subpart B of 40 CFR part 
60.
    (b) In this subpart, ``you'' means the owner or operator of a CISWI 
unit.



Sec.62.14505  What are the principal components of this subpart?

    This subpart contains the eleven major components listed in 
paragraphs (a) through (k) of this section.
    (a) Increments of progress toward compliance.
    (b) Waste management plan.
    (c) Operator training and qualification.
    (d) Emission limitations and operating limits.
    (e) Performance testing.
    (f) Initial compliance requirements.
    (g) Continuous compliance requirements.
    (h) Monitoring.
    (i) Recordkeeping and reporting.
    (j) Definitions.
    (k) Tables.

                              Applicability



Sec.62.14510  Am I subject to this subpart?

    (a) You are subject to this subpart if you own or operate a CISWI 
unit as defined in Sec.62.14840 and the CISWI unit meets the criteria 
described in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(3) of this section.
    (1) Construction of your CISWI unit commenced on or before November 
30, 1999.
    (2) Your CISWI unit is not exempt under Sec.62.14525.
    (3) Your CISWI unit is not regulated by an EPA approved and 
currently effective State or Tribal plan, or your CISWI unit is located 
in any State whose approved State or Tribal plan is subsequently vacated 
in whole or in part.
    (b) If you made changes after June 1, 2001 that meet the definition 
of modification or reconstruction after promulgation of the final 40 CFR 
part 60 subpart CCCC (New Source Performance Standards for Commercial 
and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units), your CISWI unit is 
subject to subpart CCCC of 40 CFR part 60 and this subpart no longer 
applies to that unit.
    (c) If you make physical or operational changes to your existing 
CISWI unit primarily to comply with this subpart, then such changes do 
not qualify as modifications or reconstructions under subpart CCCC of 40 
CFR part 60.



Sec.62.14515  Can my CISWI unit be covered by both a State plan and 
this subpart?

    (a) If your CISWI unit is located in a State that does not have an 
EPA-approved State plan or your State's plan has not become effective, 
this subpart applies to your CISWI unit until the EPA approves a State 
plan that covers your CISWI unit and that State plan becomes effective. 
However, a State may enforce the requirements of a State regulation 
while your CISWI unit is still subject to this subpart.
    (b) After the EPA approves a State plan covering your CISWI unit, 
and after that State plan becomes effective, you will no longer be 
subject to this subpart and will only be subject to the approved and 
effective State plan.



Sec.62.14520  How do I determine if my CISWI unit is covered by an 
approved and effective State or Tribal plan?

    This part (40 CFR part 62) contains a list of State and Tribal areas 
with approved Clean Air Act section 111(d) and section 129 plans along 
with the effective dates for such plans. The list is published annually. 
If this part does not indicate that your State or Tribal area has an 
approved and effective plan, you should contact your State environmental 
agency's air director or your EPA Regional Office to determine if the 
EPA has approved a State plan

[[Page 509]]

covering your unit since publication of the most recent version of this 
subpart.



Sec.62.14521  If my CISWI unit is not listed in the Federal plan
inventory, am I exempt from this subpart?

    If a CISWI unit is not listed in the Federal plan inventory, it is 
not necessarily exempt from this subpart. Sources subject to this 
subpart are not limited to the inventory of sources listed in Docket A-
2000-52 for the Federal plan. If your CISWI units meets the 
applicability criteria in Sec.62.14510, this subpart applies to you 
whether or not your unit is listed in the Federal plan inventory in the 
docket.



Sec.62.14525  Can my combustion unit be exempt from this subpart?

    This subpart exempts 15 types of units described in paragraphs (a) 
through (o) of this section from complying with the requirements of this 
subpart except for the requirements specified in this section and in 
Sec.62.14531.
    (a) Pathological waste incineration units. Incineration units 
burning 90 percent or more by weight (on a calendar quarter basis and 
excluding the weight of auxiliary fuel and combustion air) of 
pathological waste, low-level radioactive waste, and/or chemotherapeutic 
waste as defined in Sec.62.14840 are not subject to this subpart if 
you meet the two requirements specified in paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of 
this section.
    (1) Notify the Administrator that the unit meets these criteria.
    (2) Keep records on a calendar quarter basis of the weight of 
pathological waste, low-level radioactive waste, and/or chemotherapeutic 
waste burned, and the weight of all other fuels and wastes burned in the 
unit.
    (b) Agricultural waste incineration units. Incineration units 
burning 90 percent or more by weight (on a calendar quarter basis and 
excluding the weight of auxiliary fuel and combustion air) of 
agricultural wastes as defined in Sec.62.14840 are not subject to this 
subpart if you meet the two requirements specified in paragraphs (b)(1) 
and (2) of this section.
    (1) Notify the Administrator that the unit meets these criteria.
    (2) Keep records on a calendar quarter basis of the weight of 
agricultural waste burned, and the weight of all other fuels and wastes 
burned in the unit.
    (c) Municipal waste combustion units. Incineration units that meet 
either of the two criteria specified in paragraphs (c)(1) or (2) of this 
section.
    (1) Units that are regulated under subpart Ea of 40 CFR part 60

                Emission Limitations and Operating Limits



Sec.62.14630  What emission limitations must I meet and by when?

    You must meet the emission limitations specified in table 1 of this 
subpart by the applicable final compliance date for your CISWI unit.



Sec.62.14635  What operating limits must I meet and by when?

    (a) If you use a wet scrubber to comply with the emission 
limitations, you must establish operating limits for four operating 
parameters (as specified in table 2 of this subpart) as described in 
paragraphs (a)(1) through (4) of this section during the initial 
performance test.
    (1) Maximum charge rate, calculated using one of the two different 
procedures in paragraph (a)(1)(i) or (ii) of this section, as 
appropriate.
    (i) For continuous and intermittent units, maximum charge rate is 
110 percent of the average charge rate measured during the most recent 
performance test demonstrating compliance with all applicable emission 
limitations.
    (ii) For batch units, maximum charge rate is 110 percent of the 
daily charge rate measured during the most recent performance test 
demonstrating compliance with all applicable emission limitations.
    (2) Minimum pressure drop across the wet scrubber, which is 
calculated as 90 percent of the average pressure drop across the wet 
scrubber measured during the most recent performance test demonstrating 
compliance with the particulate matter emission limitations; or minimum 
amperage to the wet scrubber, which is calculated as 90 percent of the 
average amperage to the wet scrubber measured during the most recent 
performance test demonstrating compliance with the particulate matter 
emission limitations.
    (3) Minimum scrubber liquor flow rate, which is calculated as 90 
percent of the average liquor flow rate at the inlet to the wet scrubber 
measured during the most recent performance test demonstrating 
compliance with all applicable emission limitations.
    (4) Minimum scrubber liquor pH, which is calculated as 90 percent of 
the average liquor pH at the inlet to the wet scrubber measured during 
the most recent performance test demonstrating compliance with the 
hydrogen chloride emission limitation.
    (b) You must meet the operating limits established during the 
initial performance test on the date the initial performance test is 
required or completed (whichever is earlier).
    (c) If you use a fabric filter to comply with the emission 
limitations, you must operate each fabric filter system such that the 
bag leak detection system alarm does not sound more than 5 percent of 
the operating time during any 6-month period. In calculating this 
operating time percentage, if inspection of the fabric filter 
demonstrates that no corrective action is required, no alarm time is 
counted. If corrective action is required, each alarm shall be counted 
as a minimum of 1 hour. If you take longer than 1 hour to initiate 
corrective action, the alarm time shall be counted as the actual amount 
of time taken by you to initiate corrective action.

[[Page 518]]



Sec.62.14640  What if I do not use a wet scrubber to comply with 
the emission limitations?

    If you use an air pollution control device other than a wet 
scrubber, or limit emissions in some other manner, to comply with the 
emission limitations under Sec.62.14630, you must petition the 
Administrator for specific operating limits to be established during the 
initial performance test and continuously monitored thereafter. You must 
not conduct the initial performance test until after the petition has 
been approved by the Administrator. Your petition must include the five 
items listed in paragraphs (a) through (e) of this section.
    (a) Identification of the specific parameters you propose to use as 
additional operating limits.
    (b) A discussion of the relationship between these parameters and 
emissions of regulated pollutants, identifying how emissions of 
regulated pollutants change with changes in these parameters, and how 
limits on these parameters will serve to limit emissions of regulated 
pollutants.
    (c) A discussion of how you will establish the upper and/or lower 
values for these parameters which will establish the operating limits on 
these parameters.
    (d) A discussion identifying the methods you will use to measure and 
the instruments you will use to monitor these parameters, as well as the 
relative accuracy and precision of these methods and instruments.
    (e) A discussion identifying the frequency and methods for 
recalibrating the instruments you will use for monitoring these 
parameters.



Sec.62.14645  What happens during periods of startup, shutdown, 
and malfunction?

    (a) The emission limitations and operating limits apply at all times 
except during periods of CISWI unit startup, shutdown, or malfunction as 
defined in Sec.62.14840.
    (b) Each malfunction must last no longer than 3 hours.

                           Performance Testing



Sec.62.14650  How do I conduct the initial and annual performance
test?

    (a) All performance tests must consist of a minimum of three test 
runs conducted under conditions representative of normal operations.
    (b) You must document that the waste burned during the performance 
test is representative of the waste burned under normal operating 
conditions by maintaining a log of the quantity of waste burned (as 
required in Sec.62.14700(b)(1)) and the types of waste burned during 
the performance test.
    (c) All performance tests must be conducted using the minimum run 
duration specified in Table 1 of this subpart.
    (d) Method 1 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A must be used to select 
the sampling location and number of traverse points.
    (e) Method 3A or 3B of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A must be used for 
gas composition analysis, including measurement of oxygen concentration. 
Method 3A or 3B of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A must be used 
simultaneously with each method.
    (f) All pollutant concentrations, except for opacity, must be 
adjusted to 7 percent oxygen using Equation 1 of this section:

Cadj = C meas (20.9-7)/(20.9-%O2) (Eq. 
1)

Where:

Cadj = pollutant concentration adjusted to 7 percent oxygen;
Cmeas = pollutant concentration measured on a dry basis;
(20.9-7) = 20.9 percent oxygen-7 percent oxygen (defined oxygen 
          correction basis);
20.9 = oxygen concentration in air, percent; and
%O2 = oxygen concentration measured on a dry basis, percent.

    (g) You must determine dioxins/furans toxic equivalency by following 
the procedures in paragraphs (g)(1) through (3) of this section.
    (1) Measure the concentration of each dioxin/furan tetra- through 
octa-congener emitted using EPA Method 23.
    (2) For each dioxin/furan congener measured in accordance with 
paragraph (g)(1) of this section, multiply

[[Page 519]]

the congener concentration by its corresponding toxic equivalency factor 
specified in Table 3 of this subpart.
    (3) Sum the products calculated in accordance with paragraph (g)(2) 
of this section to obtain the total concentration of dioxins/furans 
emitted in terms of toxic equivalency.



Sec.62.14655  How are the performance test data used?

    You use results of performance tests to demonstrate compliance with 
the emission limitations in Table 1 of this subpart.

                     Initial Compliance Requirements



Sec.62.14660  How do I demonstrate initial compliance with the
emission limitations and establish the operating limits?

    You must conduct an initial performance test, as required under 40 
CFR 60.8, to determine compliance with the emission limitations in Table 
1 of this subpart and to establish operating limits using the procedure 
in Sec.62.14635 or Sec.62.14640. The initial performance test must 
be conducted using the test methods listed in table 1 of this subpart 
and the procedures in Sec.62.14650.



Sec.62.14665  By what date must I conduct the initial performance test?

    The initial performance test must be conducted no later than 90 days 
after your final compliance date.

                   Continuous Compliance Requirements



Sec.62.14670  How do I demonstrate continuous compliance with the 
emission limitations and the operating limits?

    (a) You must conduct an annual performance test for particulate 
matter, hydrogen chloride, and opacity for each CISWI unit as required 
under 40 CFR 60.8 to determine compliance with the emission limitations. 
The annual performance test must be conducted using the test methods 
listed in table 1 of this subpart and the procedures in Sec.62.14650.
    (b) You must continuously monitor the operating parameters specified 
in Sec.62.14635 or established under Sec.62.14640. Operation above 
the established maximum or below the established minimum operating 
limits constitutes a deviation from the established operating limits. 
Three-hour rolling average values are used to determine compliance 
(except for baghouse leak detection system alarms) unless a different 
averaging period is established under Sec.62.14640. Operating limits 
do not apply during performance tests.
    (c) You must only burn the same types of waste used to establish 
operating limits during the performance test.



Sec.62.14675  By what date must I conduct the annual performance test?

    You must conduct annual performance tests for particulate matter, 
hydrogen chloride, and opacity within 12 months following the initial 
performance test. Conduct subsequent annual performance tests within 12 
months following the previous one.



Sec.62.14680  May I conduct performance testing less often?

    (a) You can test less often for a given pollutant if you have test 
data for at least 3 years, and all performance tests for the pollutant 
(particulate matter, hydrogen chloride, or opacity) over 3 consecutive 
years show that you comply with the emission limitation. In this case, 
you do not have to conduct a performance test for that pollutant for the 
next 2 years. You must conduct a performance test during the third year 
and no later than 36 months following the previous performance test.
    (b) If your CISWI unit continues to meet the emission limitation for 
particulate matter, hydrogen chloride, or opacity, you may choose to 
conduct performance tests for these pollutants every third year, but 
each test must be within 36 months of the previous performance test.
    (c) If a performance test shows a deviation from an emission 
limitation for particulate matter, hydrogen chloride, or opacity, you 
must conduct annual performance tests for that pollutant until all 
performance tests over a 3-year period show compliance.

[[Page 520]]



Sec.62.14685  May I conduct a repeat performance test to establish
new operating limits?

    (a) Yes. You may conduct a repeat performance test at any time to 
establish new values for the operating limits. The Administrator may 
request a repeat performance test at any time.
    (b) You must repeat the performance test if your feed stream is 
different than the feed streams used during any performance test used to 
demonstrate compliance.

                               Monitoring

establish methods) for monitoring the value of the operating parameters 
used to determine compliance with the operating limits listed in table 2 
of this subpart. These devices (or methods) must measure and record the 
values for these operating parameters at the frequencies indicated in 
table 2 of this subpart at all times except as specified in Sec.
62.14695(a).
    (b) If you use a fabric filter to comply with the requirements of 
this subpart, you must install, calibrate, maintain, and continuously 
operate a bag leak detection system as specified in paragraphs (b)(1) 
through (8) of this section.
    (1) You must install and operate a bag leak detection system for 
each exhaust stack of the fabric filter.
    (2) Each bag leak detection system must be installed, operated, 
calibrated, and maintained in a manner consistent with the 
manufacturer's written specifications and recommendations.

    (5) The bag leak detection system must be equipped with a device to 
continuously record the output signal from the sensor.
    (6) The bag leak detection system must be equipped with an alarm 
system that will sound automatically when an increase in relative 
particulate matter emissions over a preset level is detected. The alarm 
must be located where it is easily heard by plant operating personnel.
    (7) For positive pressure fabric filter systems, a bag leak 
detection system must be installed in each baghouse compartment or cell. 
For negative pressure or induced air fabric filters, the bag leak 
detector must be installed downstream of the fabric filter.
    (8) Where multiple detectors are required, the system's 
instrumentation and alarm may be shared among detectors.
    (c) If you are using an emission control system other than a wet 
scrubber to comply with the emission limitations under Sec.62.14630, 
you must install, calibrate (to the manufacturers' specifications), 
maintain, and operate the equipment necessary to monitor compliance with 
the site-specific operating limits established using the procedures in 
Sec.62.14640.



Sec.62.14695  Is there a minimum amount of monitoring data I must
obtain?

    (a) Except for monitoring malfunctions, associated repairs, and 
required quality assurance or quality control activities (including, as 
applicable, calibration checks and required zero and span adjustments of 
the monitoring system), you must conduct all monitoring at all times the 
CISWI unit is operating.
    (b) Do not use data recorded during monitor malfunctions, associated 
repairs, and required quality assurance or quality control activities 
for meeting the requirements of this subpart, including data averages 
and calculations. You must use all the data collected during all other 
periods in assessing compliance with the operating limits.

Air Curtain Incinerators That Burn 100 Percent Wood Wastes, Clean Lumber 
                            and/or Yard Waste



Sec.62.14765  What is an air curtain incinerator?

    An air curtain incinerator operates by forcefully projecting a 
curtain of air across an open chamber or open pit in which combustion 
occurs. Incinerators of this type can be constructed above or below 
ground and with or without refractory walls and floor. (Air curtain 
incinerators are different from conventional combustion devices which 
typically have enclosed fireboxes and controlled air technology such as 
mass

[[Page 524]]

burn, modular, and fluidized bed combustors.)



Sec.62.14770  When must I achieve final compliance?

    If you plan to continue operating, then you must achieve final 
compliance by October October 4, 2004. It is unlawful for your air 
curtain incinerator to operate after October 4, 2004 if you have not 
achieved final compliance. An air curtain incinerator that continues to 
operate after October 4, 2004 without being in compliance is subject to 
penalties.



Sec.62.14795  How do I achieve final compliance?

    For the final compliance, you must complete all equipment changes 
and retrofit installation control devices so that, when the affected air 
curtain incinerator is placed into service, all necessary equipment and 
air pollution control devices operate as designed and meet the opacity 
limits of Sec.62.14815.



Sec.62.14805  What must I do if I close my air curtain incinerator 
and then restart it?

    (a) If you close your incinerator but will reopen it prior to the 
final compliance date in this subpart, you must achieve final compliance 
by October 4, 2004.
    (b) If you close your incinerator but will restart it after October 
4, 2004, you must have completed any needed emission control retrofits 
and meet the opacity limits of Sec.62.14815 on the date your 
incinerator restarts operation.
    (c) You are subject to the operating permit requirements of title V 
of the CAA and 40 CFR part 70 or 71 until you close your air curtain 
incinerator and at the time you restart it.



Sec.62.14810  What must I do if I plan to permanently close my air
curtain incinerator and not restart it?

    If you plan to permanently close your incinerator rather than comply 
with this subpart, you must submit a closure notification, including the 
date of closure, to the Administrator by March 31, 2004. In addition, 
while still in operation, your air curtain incinerator is subject to the 
same requirement to apply for and obtain a title V operating permit that 
applies to an air curtain incinerator that will not be permanently 
closing.



Sec.62.14815  What are the emission limitations for air curtain 
incinerators that burn 100 percent wood wastes, clean lumber 
and/or yard waste?

    (a) After the date the initial test for opacity is required or 
completed (whichever is earlier), you must meet the limitations in 
paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this section.
    (1) The opacity limitation is 10 percent (6-minute average), except 
as described in paragraph (a)(2) of this section.
    (2) The opacity limitation is 35 percent (6-minute average) during 
the startup period that is within the first 30 minutes of operation.
    (b) Except during malfunctions, the requirements of this subpart 
apply at all times, and each malfunction must not exceed 3 hours.



Sec.62.14820  How must I monitor opacity for air curtain incinerators
that burn 100 percent wood wastes, clean lumber, and/or yard waste?

    (a) Use Method 9 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A to determine 
compliance with the opacity limitation.
    (b) Conduct an initial test for opacity as specified in Sec.60.8 
no later than January 2, 2005.
    (c) After the initial test for opacity, conduct annual tests no more 
than 12 calendar months following the date of your previous test.



Sec.62.14825  What are the recordkeeping and reporting requirements
for air curtain incinerators that burn 100 percent wood wastes, 
clean lumber, and/or yard waste?
          

    (a) Keep records of results of all initial and annual opacity tests 
onsite in either paper copy or electronic format, unless the 
Administrator approves another format, for at least 5 years.
    (b) Make all records available for submittal to the Administrator or 
for an inspector's onsite review.
    (c) Submit an initial report no later than 60 days following the 
initial opacity test that includes the information specified in 
paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of this section.

[[Page 525]]

    (1) The types of materials you plan to combust in your air curtain 
incinerator.
    (2) The results (each 6-minute average) of the initial opacity 
tests.
    (d) Submit annual opacity test results within 12 months following 
the previous report.
    (e) Submit initial and annual opacity test reports as electronic or 
paper copy on or before the applicable submittal date and keep a copy 
onsite for a period of five years.

        Combustion Units Constructed on or Before August 30, 1999

    Source: 68 FR 5158, Jan. 31, 2003, unless otherwise noted.

                              Introduction



Sec.62.15000  What is the purpose of this subpart?

    (a) This subpart establishes emission requirements and compliance 
schedules for the control of emissions from existing small municipal 
waste combustion units that are not covered by an EPA approved and 
effective State plan. The pollutants addressed by these emission 
requirements are listed in tables 2, 3, 4, and 5 of this subpart. These 
emission requirements are developed in accordance with sections 111(d) 
and 129 of the Clean Air Act and subpart B of 40 CFR part 60.
    (b) In this subpart, ``you'' means the owner or operator of a small 
municipal waste combustion unit.



Sec.62.15005  What are the principal components of this subpart?

    This subpart contains five major components:
    (a) Increments of progress toward compliance.
    (b) Good combustion practices:
    (1) Operator training.
    (2) Operator certification.
    (3) Operating requirements.
    (c) Emission limits.
    (d) Monitoring and stack testing.
    (e) Recordkeeping and reporting.

                      Applicability of this Subpart



Sec.62.15010  Is my municipal waste combustion unit covered by this
subpart?

    (a) This subpart applies to your small municipal waste combustion 
unit if the unit meets the criteria in paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) and 
the criteria in either paragraph (a)(3) or (a)(4) of this section:
    (1) Your municipal waste combustion unit has the capacity to combust 
at least 35 tons per day of municipal solid waste or refuse-derived fuel 
but no more than 250 tons per day of municipal solid waste or refuse-
derived fuel.
    (2) Your municipal waste combustion unit commenced construction on 
or before August 30, 1999.
    (3) Your municipal waste combustion unit is not regulated by an EPA 
approved and effective State or Tribal plan.
    (4) Your municipal waste combustion unit is located in any State 
whose approved State plan is subsequently vacated in whole or in part, 
or the municipal waste combustion unit is located

[[Page 532]]

in Indian country if the approved tribal plan for that area is 
subsequently vacated in whole or in part.
    (b) If you make a change to your municipal waste combustion unit 
that meets the definition of modification or reconstruction after June 
6, 2001, your municipal waste combustion unit becomes subject to subpart 
AAAA of 40 CFR part 60 (New Source Performance Standards for Small 
Municipal Waste Combustion Units) and this subpart no longer applies to 
your unit.
    (c) If you make physical or operational changes to your existing 
municipal waste combustion unit primarily to comply with this subpart, 
then subpart AAAA of 40 CFR part 60 (New Source Performance Standards 
for Small Municipal Waste Combustion Units) does not apply to your unit. 
Such changes do not constitute modifications or reconstructions under 
subpart AAAA of 40 CFR part 60.
    (d) Upon approval of the State or tribal plan, this subpart will no 
longer apply, except for the provisions of this subpart that may have 
been incorporated by reference under the State or Tribal plan, or 
delegated to the State by the Administrator.



Sec.62.15015  Can my small municipal waste combustion unit be covered 
by both a State plan and this subpart?

    (a) If your municipal waste combustion unit is located in a State 
that has a State plan that has not been approved by the EPA or has not 
become effective, then this subpart applies and the State plan would not 
apply to your municipal waste combustion unit. However, the State could 
enforce the requirements of a State regulation while your municipal 
waste combustion unit is still subject to this subpart.
    (b) After the State plan is approved by the EPA and becomes 
effective, your municipal waste combustion unit is no longer subject to 
this subpart and will only be subject to the approved and effective 
State plan.

must meet only the requirements under ``Air Curtain Incinerators That 
Burn 100 Percent Yard Waste'' (Sec. Sec.62.15365 through 62.15385) and 
the title V operating permit requirements of this subpart. However, if 
your air curtain incinerator combusts municipal solid waste other than 
yard waste, it is subject to all provisions of this subpart.



Sec.62.15025  How do I determine if my small municipal waste 
combustion unit is covered by an approved and effective State
or Tribal Plan?

    This part (40 CFR part 62) contains a list of all States and tribal 
areas with approved Clean Air Act section 111(d) and section 129 plans 
in effect. However, this part is only updated once per year. Thus, if 
this part does not indicate that your State or tribal area has an 
approved and effective plan, you should contact your State environmental 
agency's air director or your EPA Regional Office to determine if 
approval has occurred since publication of the most recent version of 
this part.



Sec.62.15030  What are my obligations under this subpart if I reduce
my small municipal waste combustion unit's combustion capacity to 
less than 35 tons per day?
          

    If you reduce your small municipal waste combustion unit's 
combustion capacity to less than 35 tons per day by the final compliance 
date, you must comply only with the following requirements:
    (a) You must submit a final control plan according to the schedule 
in table 1 of this subpart and comply with Sec.62.15065(b).
    (b) The final control plan must, at a minimum, include two items:
    (1) A description of the physical changes that will be made to 
accomplish the reduction in combustion capacity. A permit restriction or 
a change in the method of operation does not qualify as a reduction in 
combustion capacity.

[[Page 534]]

    (2) Calculations of the current maximum combustion capacity and the 
planned maximum combustion capacity after the reduction. Use the 
equations specified under Sec.62.15390(d) and (e) to calculate the 
combustion capacity of a municipal waste combustion unit.
    (c) You must complete the physical changes to accomplish the 
reduction in combustion capacity by the final compliance date specified

to this subpart.
    (e) You must comply with the requirements specified in Sec.
62.15395 and Sec.62.15400 regarding title V permitting. If you comply 
with all of the requirements specified in paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) 
of this section, you are no longer subject to title V permitting 
requirements as a result of this subpart. You will remain subject to 
title V permitting requirements, however, if you are subject as a result 
of one or more of the applicability criteria in 40 CFR 70.3(a) and (b) 
or 71.3(a) and (b).



Sec.62.15035  Is my small municipal waste combustion unit subject
to different requirements based on plant capacity?

    This subpart specifies different requirements for two different 
subcategories of municipal waste combustion units. These two 
subcategories are based on aggregate capacity of the municipal waste 
combustion plant as defined in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section.
    (a) Class I units. These are small municipal waste combustion units 
that are located at municipal waste combustion plants with aggregate 
plant combustion capacity greater than 250 tons per day of municipal 
solid waste. (See the definition of municipal waste combustion plant 
capacity in Sec.62.15410 for specification of which units at a plant 
are included in the aggregate capacity calculation.)
    (b) Class II units. These are small municipal waste combustion units 
that are located at municipal waste combustion plants with aggregate 
plant combustion capacity of no more than 250 tons per day of municipal 
solid waste. (See the definition of municipal waste combustion plant

Sec.62.15135  After the required date for operator certification, 
who may operate the municipal waste combustion unit?

    After the required date for full or provisional certification, you 
must not operate your municipal waste combustion unit unless one of four 
employees is on duty:
    (a) A fully certified chief facility operator.
    (b) A provisionally certified chief facility operator who is 
scheduled to take the full certification exam.
    (c) A fully certified shift supervisor.
    (d) A provisionally certified shift supervisor who is scheduled to 
take the full certification exam.



Sec.62.15140  What if all the certified operators must be temporarily
offsite?

    If the certified chief facility operator and certified shift 
supervisor both are unavailable, a provisionally certified control room 
operator at the municipal waste combustion unit may fulfill the 
certified operator requirement. Depending on the length of time that a 
certified chief facility operator and certified shift supervisor is 
away, you must meet one of three criteria:
    (a) When the certified chief facility operator and certified shift 
supervisor are both offsite for 12 hours or less and no other certified 
operator is onsite, the provisionally certified control room operator 
may perform those duties without notice to, or approval by, the 
Administrator.
    (b) When the certified chief facility operator and certified shift 
supervisor are offsite for more than 12 hours, but for 2 weeks or less, 
and no other certified operator is onsite, the provisionally certified 
control room operator may perform those duties without notice to, or 
approval by, the Administrator. However, you must record the periods 
when the certified chief facility operator and certified shift 
supervisor are offsite and include this information in the annual report 
as specified under Sec.62.15340(l).
    (c) When the certified chief facility operator and certified shift 
supervisor are offsite for more than 2 weeks and no other certified 
operator is onsite, the provisionally certified control room operator 
may perform those duties without notice to, or approval by, the 
Administrator. However, you must take two actions:
    (1) Notify the Administrator in writing. In the notice, state what 
caused the absence and what you are doing to ensure that a certified 
chief facility operator or certified shift supervisor is onsite.
    (2) Submit a status report and corrective action summary to the 
Administrator every 4 weeks following the initial notification. If the 
Administrator notifies you that your status report or corrective action 
summary is disapproved, the municipal waste combustion unit may continue 
operation for 90 days, but then must cease operation. If corrective 
actions are taken in the 90-day period such that the Administrator 
withdraws the disapproval, municipal waste combustion unit operation may 
continue.

            Good Combustion Practices: Operating Requirements



Sec.62.15145  What are the operating practice requirements for my
municipal waste combustion unit?

    (a) You must not operate your municipal waste combustion unit at 
loads greater than 110 percent of the maximum demonstrated load of the 
municipal waste combustion unit (4-hour block average), as specified 
under ``Definitions'' (Sec.62.15410).
    (b) You must not operate your municipal waste combustion unit so 
that the temperature at the inlet of the particulate matter control 
device exceeds 17 [deg]C above the maximum demonstrated temperature of 
the particulate matter control device (4-hour block average), as 
specified under ``Definitions'' (Sec.62.15410).
    (c) If your municipal waste combustion unit uses activated carbon to 
control dioxins/furans or mercury emissions, you must maintain an 8-hour 
block average carbon feed rate at or above the highest average level 
established during the most recent dioxins/furans or mercury test.
    (d) If your municipal waste combustion unit uses activated carbon to 
control dioxins/furans or mercury emissions, you must evaluate total 
carbon usage for each calendar quarter. The total amount of carbon 
purchased and delivered to your municipal waste combustion plant must be 
at or above the required quarterly usage of carbon. At your option, you 
may choose to evaluate required quarterly carbon usage on a municipal 
waste combustion unit basis for each individual municipal waste 
combustion unit at your plant. Calculate the required quarterly usage of 
carbon using the appropriate equation in Sec.62.15390.
    (e) Your municipal waste combustion unit is exempt from limits on 
load level, temperature at the inlet of the particulate matter control 
device, and carbon feed rate during any of five situations:
    (1) During your annual tests for dioxins/furans.
    (2) During your annual mercury tests (for carbon feed rate 
requirements only).
    (3) During the 2 weeks preceding your annual tests for dioxins/
furans.
    (4) During the 2 weeks preceding your annual mercury tests (for 
carbon feed rate requirements only).
    (5) Whenever the Administrator permits you to do any of five 
activities:
    (i) Evaluate system performance.
    (ii) Test new technology or control technologies.
    (iii) Perform diagnostic testing.
    (iv) Perform other activities to improve the performance of your 
municipal waste combustion unit.
    (v) Perform other activities to advance the state of the art for 
emission controls for your municipal waste combustion unit.



Sec.62.15150  What happens to the operating requirements during
periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction?

    (a) The operating requirements of this subpart apply at all times 
except during periods of municipal waste combustion unit startup, 
shutdown, or malfunction.
    (b) Each startup, shutdown, or malfunction must not last for longer

see table 5 of this subpart.
    (b) If your Class I municipal waste combustion unit began 
construction, reconstruction, or modification after June 26, 1987, then 
you must comply with the dioxins/furans and mercury emission limits 
specified in table 2 of this subpart as applicable by the later of the 
following two dates:
    (1) One year after the effective date of this subpart.
    (2) One year after the issuance of a revised construction or 
operating permit, if a permit modification is required. Final compliance 
with the dioxins/furans limits must be achieved no later than November 
6, 2005, even if the date one year after the issuance of a revised 
construction or operating permit is later than November 6, 2005.



Sec.62.15165  What happens to the emission limits during periods
of startup, shutdown, and malfunction?

    (a) The emission limits of this subpart apply at all times except 
during periods of municipal waste combustion unit startup, shutdown, or

and all provisions under Sec.60.11(d) of subpart A of 40 CFR part 60 
apply.

                     Continuous Emission Monitoring



Sec.62.15170  What types of continuous emission monitoring must I perform?

    To continuously monitor emissions, you must perform four tasks:
    (a) Install continuous emission monitoring systems for certain 
gaseous pollutants.
    (b) Make sure your continuous emission monitoring systems are 
operating correctly.
    (c) Make sure you obtain the minimum amount of monitoring data.
    (d) Install a continuous opacity monitoring system.



Sec.62.15175  What continuous emission monitoring systems must
I install for gaseous pollutants?

    (a) You must install, calibrate, maintain, and operate continuous 
emission monitoring systems for oxygen (or carbon dioxide), sulfur 
dioxide, and carbon monoxide. If you operate a Class I municipal waste 
combustion unit, also install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a 
continuous emission monitoring system for nitrogen oxides. Install the 
continuous emission monitoring system for sulfur dioxide, nitrogen 
oxides, and oxygen (or carbon dioxide) at the outlet of the air 
pollution control device.
    (b) You must install, evaluate, and operate each continuous emission 
monitoring system according to the ``Monitoring Requirements'' in Sec.
60.13 of subpart A of 40 CFR part 60.
    (c) You must monitor the oxygen (or carbon dioxide) concentration at 
each location where you monitor sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide. 
Additionally, if you operate a Class I municipal waste combustion unit, 
you must also monitor the oxygen (or carbon dioxide) concentration at 
the location where you monitor nitrogen oxides.
    (d) You may choose to monitor carbon dioxide instead of oxygen as a 
diluent gas. If you choose to monitor carbon dioxide, then an oxygen 
monitor is not required and you must follow the requirements in Sec.
62.15200.
    (e) If you choose to demonstrate compliance by monitoring the 
percent reduction of sulfur dioxide, you must also install a continuous 
emission monitoring system for sulfur dioxide and oxygen (or carbon 
dioxide) at the inlet of the air pollution control device.
    (f) If you prefer to use an alternative sulfur dioxide monitoring 
method, such as parametric monitoring, or cannot monitor emissions at 
the inlet of the air pollution control device to determine percent 
reduction, you can apply

[[Page 541]]

to the Administrator for approval to use an alternative monitoring 
method under Sec.60.13(i) of subpart A of 40 CFR part 60.



Sec.62.15180  How are the data from the continuous emission monitoring
systems used?

    You must use data from the continuous emission monitoring systems 
for sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide to demonstrate 
continuous compliance with the applicable emission limits specified in 
tables 2, 3, 4, and 5 of this subpart. To demonstrate compliance for 
dioxins/furans, cadmium, lead, mercury, particulate matter, opacity, 
hydrogen chloride, and fugitive ash, see Sec.62.15235.



Sec.62.15185  How do I make sure my continuous emission monitoring 
systems are operating correctly?

    (a) Conduct initial, daily, quarterly, and annual evaluations of 
your continuous emission monitoring systems that measure oxygen (or 
carbon dioxide), sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides (Class I municipal 
waste combustion units only), and carbon monoxide.
    (b) Complete your initial evaluation of the continuous emission 
monitoring systems within 180 days after your final compliance date.
    (c) For initial and annual evaluations, collect data concurrently 
(or within 30 to 60 minutes) using your oxygen (or carbon dioxide) 
continuous emission monitoring system, your sulfur dioxide, nitrogen 
oxides, or carbon monoxide continuous emission monitoring systems, as 
appropriate, and the appropriate test methods specified in table 6 of 
this subpart. Collect these data during each initial and annual 
evaluation of your continuous emission monitoring systems following the 
applicable performance specifications in appendix B of 40 CFR part 60. 
Table 7 of this subpart shows the performance specifications that apply 
to each continuous emission monitoring system.
    (d) Follow the quality assurance procedures in Procedure 1 of 
appendix F of 40 CFR part 60 for each continuous emission monitoring 
system. These procedures include daily calibration drift and quarterly 
accuracy determinations.



Sec.62.15190  Am I exempt from any 40 CFR part 60 appendix B or
appendix F requirements to evaluate continuous emission monitoring
systems?

    Yes, the accuracy tests for your sulfur dioxide continuous emission 
monitoring system require you to also evaluate your oxygen (or carbon 
dioxide) continuous emission monitoring system. Therefore, your oxygen 
(or carbon dioxide) continuous emission monitoring system is exempt from 
two requirements:
    (a) Section 2.3 of Performance Specification 3 in appendix B of 40 
CFR part 60 (relative accuracy requirement).
    (b) Section 5.1.1 of appendix F of 40 CFR part 60 (relative accuracy 
test audit).



Sec.62.15195  What is my schedule for evaluating continuous emission
monitoring systems?

    (a) Conduct annual evaluations of your continuous emission 
monitoring systems no more than 13 months after the previous evaluation 
was conducted.
    (b) Evaluate your continuous emission monitoring systems daily and 
quarterly as specified in appendix F of 40 CFR part 60.



Sec.62.15200  What must I do if I choose to monitor carbon dioxide
instead of oxygen as a diluent gas?

    You must establish the relationship between oxygen and carbon 
dioxide during the initial evaluation of your continuous emission 
monitoring system. You may reestablish the relationship during annual 
evaluations. To establish the relationship use three procedures:
    (a) Use EPA Reference Method 3A or 3B in appendix A of 40 CFR part 
60 to determine oxygen concentration at the location of your carbon 
dioxide monitor.
    (b) Conduct at least three test runs for oxygen. Make sure each test 
run represents a 1-hour average and that sampling continues for at least 
30 minutes in each hour.
    (c) Use the fuel-factor equation in EPA Reference Method 3B to 
determine the relationship between oxygen and carbon dioxide.

[[Page 542]]



Sec.62.15205  What minimum amount of monitoring data must I collect
with my continuous emission monitoring systems and is this requirement
enforceable?

    (a) Where continuous emission monitoring systems are required, 
obtain 1-hour arithmetic averages. Make sure the averages for sulfur 
dioxide, nitrogen oxides (Class I municipal waste combustion units 
only), and carbon monoxide are in parts per million by dry volume at 7 
percent oxygen (or the equivalent carbon dioxide level). Use the 1-hour 
averages of oxygen (or carbon dioxide) data from your continuous 
emission monitoring system to determine the actual oxygen (or carbon 
dioxide) level and to calculate emissions at 7 percent oxygen (or the 
equivalent carbon dioxide level).
    (b) Obtain at least two data points per hour in order to calculate a 
valid 1-hour arithmetic average. Section 60.13(e)(2) of subpart A of 40 
CFR part 60 requires your continuous emission monitoring systems to 
complete at least one cycle of operation (sampling, analyzing, and data 
recording) for each 15-minute period.
    (c) Obtain valid 1-hour averages for 75 percent of the operating 
hours per day for 90 percent of the operating days per calendar quarter. 
An operating day is any day the unit combusts any municipal solid waste 
or refuse-derived fuel.
    (d) If you do not obtain the minimum data required in paragraphs (a) 
through (c) of this section, you are in violation of this data 
collection requirement regardless of the emission level monitored, and 
you must notify the Administrator according to Sec.62.15340(e).
    (e) If you do not obtain the minimum data required in paragraphs (a) 
through (c) of this section, you must still use all valid data from the 
continuous emission monitoring systems in calculating emission 
concentrations and percent reductions in accordance with Sec.62.15210.



Sec.62.15210  How do I convert my 1-hour arithmetic averages into
appropriate averaging times and units?

    (a) Use the equation in Sec.62.15390(a) to calculate emissions at 
7 percent oxygen.
    (b) Use EPA Reference Method 19 in appendix A of 40 CFR part 60, 
section 4.3, to calculate the daily geometric average concentrations of 
sulfur dioxide emissions. If you are monitoring the percent reduction of 
sulfur dioxide, use EPA Reference Method 19, section 5.4, to determine 
the daily geometric average percent reduction of potential sulfur 
dioxide emissions.
    (c) If you operate a Class I municipal waste combustion unit, use 
EPA Reference Method 19, section 4.1, to calculate the daily arithmetic 
average for concentrations of nitrogen oxides.
    (d) Use EPA Reference Method 19, section 4.1, to calculate the 4-
hour or 24-hour daily block averages (as applicable) for concentrations 
of carbon monoxide.



Sec.62.15215  What is required for my continuous opacity monitoring
system and how are the data used?

    (a) Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a continuous opacity 
monitoring system.
    (b) Install, evaluate, and operate each continuous opacity 
monitoring system according to Sec.60.13 of subpart A 40 CFR part 60.
    (c) Complete an initial evaluation of your continuous opacity 
monitoring system according to Performance Specification 1 in appendix B 
of 40 CFR part 60. Complete this evaluation by 180 days after your final 
compliance date.
    (d) Complete each annual evaluation of your continuous opacity 
monitoring system no more than 13 months after the previous evaluation.
    (e) Use tests conducted according to EPA Reference Method 9, as 
specified in Sec.62.15245, to determine compliance with the applicable 
opacity limit in tables 2 or 4 of this subpart. The data obtained from 
your continuous opacity monitoring system are not used to determine 
compliance with the opacity limit.



Sec.62.15220  What additional requirements must I meet for the 
operation of my continuous emission monitoring systems and continuous
opacity monitoring system?
          

    Use the required span values and applicable performance 
specifications in table 8 of this subpart.

[[Page 543]]



Sec.62.15225  What must I do if my continuous emission monitoring
system is temporarily unavailable to meet the data collection 
requirements?

    Refer to table 8 of this subpart. It shows alternate methods for 
collecting data when these systems malfunction or when repairs, 
calibration checks, or zero and span checks keep you from collecting the 
minimum amount of data.

                              Stack Testing



Sec.62.15230  What types of stack tests must I conduct?

    Conduct initial and annual stack tests to measure the emission 
levels of dioxins/furans, cadmium, lead, mercury, particulate matter, 
opacity, hydrogen chloride, and fugitive ash.



Sec.62.15235  How are the stack test data used?

    You must use results of stack tests for dioxins/furans, cadmium, 
lead, mercury, particulate matter, opacity, hydrogen chloride, and 
fugitive ash to demonstrate compliance with the applicable emission 
limits in tables 2 and 4 of this subpart. To demonstrate compliance for 
carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide, see Sec.
62.15180.



Sec.62.15240  What schedule must I follow for the stack testing?

    (a) Conduct initial stack tests for the pollutants listed in Sec.
62.15230 by 180 days after your final compliance date.
    (b) Conduct annual stack tests for these pollutants after the 
initial stack test. Conduct each annual stack test no later than 13 
months after the previous stack test.



Sec.62.15245  What test methods must I use to stack test?

    (a) Follow table 8 of this subpart to establish the sampling 
location and to determine pollutant concentrations, number of traverse 
points, individual test methods, and other specific testing requirements 
for the different pollutants.
    (b) Make sure that stack tests for all these pollutants consist of 
at least three test runs, as specified in Sec.60.8 (Performance Tests) 
of subpart A of 40 CFR part 60. Use the average of the pollutant 
emission concentrations from the three test runs to determine compliance 
with the applicable emission limits in tables 2 and 4 of this subpart.
    (c) Obtain an oxygen (or carbon dioxide) measurement at the same 
time as your pollutant measurements to determine diluent gas levels, as 
specified in Sec.62.15175.
    (d) Use the equations in Sec.62.15390(a) to calculate emission 
levels at 7 percent oxygen (or an equivalent carbon dioxide basis), the 
percent reduction in potential hydrogen chloride emissions, and the 
reduction efficiency for mercury emissions. See the individual test 
methods in table 6 of this subpart for other required equations.
    (e) You can apply to the Administrator for approval under Sec.
60.8(b) of subpart A of 40 CFR part 60 to
    (1) Use a reference method with minor changes in methodology;
    (2) Use an equivalent method;
    (3) Use an alternative method the results of which the Administrator 
has determined are adequate for demonstrating compliance;
    (4) Waive the requirement for a performance test because you have 
demonstrated by other means that you are in compliance; or
    (5) Use a shorter sampling time or smaller sampling volume.



Sec.62.15250  May I conduct stack testing less often?

    (a) You may test less often if you own or operate a Class II 
municipal waste combustion unit and if all stack tests for a given 
pollutant over 3 consecutive years show you comply with the emission 
limit. In this case, you are not required to conduct a stack test for 
that pollutant for the next 2 years. However, you must conduct another 
stack test within 36 months of the anniversary date of the third 
consecutive stack test that shows you comply with the emission limit. 
Thereafter, you must perform stack tests every third year but no later 
than 36 months following the previous stack tests. If a stack test shows 
noncompliance with an emission limit, you must conduct annual stack 
tests for that pollutant until all stack tests over 3 consecutive years 
show compliance

[[Page 544]]

with the emission limit for that pollutant. This provision applies to 
all pollutants subject to stack testing requirements: dioxins/furans, 
cadmium, lead, mercury, particulate matter, opacity, hydrogen chloride, 
and fugitive ash.
    (b) You can test less often for dioxins/furans emissions if you own 
or operate a municipal waste combustion plant that meets two conditions. 
First, you have multiple municipal waste combustion units onsite that 
are subject to this subpart. Second, all these municipal waste 
combustion units have demonstrated levels of dioxins/furans emissions 
less than or equal to 15 nanograms per dry standard cubic meter (total 
mass) for Class I units, or 30 nanograms per dry standard cubic meter 
(total mass) for Class II units, for 2 consecutive years. In this case, 
you may choose to conduct annual stack tests on only one municipal waste 
combustion unit per year at your plant. This provision only applies to 
stack testing for dioxins/furans emissions.
    (1) Conduct the stack test no more than 13 months following a stack 
test on any municipal waste combustion unit subject to this subpart at 
your plant. Each year, test a different municipal waste combustion unit 
subject to this subpart and test all municipal waste combustion units 
subject to this subpart in a sequence that you determine. Once you 
determine a testing sequence, it must not be changed without approval by 
the Administrator.
    (2) If each annual stack test shows levels of dioxins/furans 
emissions less than or equal to 15 nanograms per dry standard cubic 
meter (total mass) for Class I units, or 30 nanograms per dry standard 
cubic meter (total mass) for Class II units, you may continue stack 
tests on only one municipal waste combustion unit subject to this 
subpart per year.
    (3) If any annual stack test indicates levels of dioxins/furans 
emissions greater than 15 nanograms per dry standard cubic meter (total 
mass) for Class I units, or 30 nanograms per dry standard cubic meter 
(total mass) for Class II units, conduct subsequent annual stack tests 
on all municipal waste combustion units subject to this subpart at your 
plant. You may return to testing one municipal waste combustion unit 
subject to this subpart per year if you can demonstrate dioxins/furans 
emission levels less than or equal to 15 nanograms per dry standard 
cubic meter (total mass) for Class I units, or 30 nanograms per dry 
standard cubic meter (total mass) for Class II units, for all municipal 
waste combustion units at your plant subject to this subpart for 2 
consecutive years.



Sec.62.15255  May I deviate from the 13-month testing schedule
if unforeseen circumstances arise?

    You may not deviate from the 13-month testing schedules specified in 
Sec. Sec.62.15240(b) and 62.15250(b)(1) unless you apply to the 
Administrator for an alternative schedule, and the Administrator 
approves your request for alternate scheduling prior to the date on 
which you would otherwise have been required to conduct the next stack 
test.

                      Other Monitoring Requirements



Sec.62.15260  What other requirements must I meet for continuous 
monitoring?

    You must also monitor three operating parameters:
    (a) Load level of each municipal waste combustion unit.
    (b) Temperature of flue gases at the inlet of your particulate 
matter air pollution control device.
    (c) Carbon feed rate if activated carbon is used to control dioxins/
furans or mercury emissions.



Sec.62.15265  How do I monitor the load of my municipal waste
combustion unit?

    (a) If your municipal waste combustion unit generates steam, you 
must install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a steam flowmeter or a 
feed water flowmeter and meet five requirements:
    (1) Continuously measure and record the measurements of steam (or 
feed water) in kilograms per hour (or pounds per hour).
    (2) Calculate your steam (or feed water) flow in 4-hour block 
averages.
    (3) Calculate the steam (or feed water) flow rate using the method 
in

    (5) Before each dioxins/furans stack test, or at least once a year, 
calibrate all signal conversion elements associated with steam (or feed 
water) flow measurements according to the manufacturer instructions.
    (b) If your municipal waste combustion unit does not generate steam, 
or, if your municipal waste combustion units have shared steam systems 
and steam load cannot be estimated per unit, you must determine, to the 
satisfaction of the Administrator, one or more operating parameters that 
can be used to continuously estimate load level (for example, the feed 
rate of municipal solid waste or refuse-derived fuel). You must 
continuously monitor the selected parameters.

Sec.62.15270  How do I monitor the temperature of flue gases at 
the inlet of my particulate matter control device?

    You must install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a device to 
continuously measure the temperature of the flue gas stream at the inlet 
of each particulate matter control device.



Sec.62.15275  How do I monitor the injection rate of activated
carbon?

    If your municipal waste combustion unit uses activated carbon to 
control dioxins/furans or mercury emissions, you must meet three 
requirements:
    (a) Select a carbon injection system operating parameter that can be 
used to calculate carbon feed rate (for example, screw feeder speed).
    (b) During each dioxins/furans and mercury stack test, determine the 
average carbon feed rate in kilograms (or pounds) per hour. Also, 
determine the average operating parameter level that correlates to the 
carbon feed rate. Establish a relationship between the operating 
parameter and the carbon feed rate in order to calculate the carbon feed 
rate based on the operating parameter level.
    (c) Continuously monitor the selected operating parameter during all 
periods when the municipal waste combustion unit is operating and 
combusting waste and calculate the 8-hour block average carbon feed rate 
in kilograms (or pounds) per hour, based on the selected operating 
parameter. When calculating the 8-hour block average, do two things:
    (1) Exclude hours when the municipal waste combustion unit is not 
operating.
    (2) Include hours when the municipal waste combustion unit is 
operating but

[[Page 546]]

the carbon feed system is not working correctly.



Sec.62.15280  What minimum amount of monitoring data must I collect
with my continuous parameter monitoring systems and is this requirement
enforceable?

    (a) Where continuous parameter monitoring systems are used, obtain 
1-hour arithmetic averages for three parameters:
    (1) Load level of the municipal waste combustion unit.
    (2) Temperature of the flue gases at the inlet of your particulate 
matter control device.
    (3) Carbon feed rate if activated carbon is used to control dioxins/
furans or mercury emissions.
    (b) Obtain at least two data points per hour in order to calculate a 
valid 1-hour arithmetic average.
    (c) Obtain valid 1-hour averages for at least 75 percent of the 
operating hours per day for 90 percent of the operating days per 
calendar quarter. An operating day is any day the unit combusts any 
municipal solid waste or refuse-derived fuel.
    (d) If you do not obtain the minimum data required in paragraphs (a) 
through (c) of this section, you are in violation of this data 
collection requirement and you must notify the Administrator according 
to Sec.62.15340(e).

pollutant concentration to 7 percent oxygen using equation 1 of this 
section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR31JA03.000

Where:

C7% = concentration corrected to 7 percent oxygen.
Cunc = uncorrected pollutant concentration.
CO2 = concentration of oxygen (%).

    (b) Percent reduction in potential mercury emissions. Calculate the 
percent reduction in potential mercury emissions (%PHg) using 
equation 2 of this section:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR31JA03.001

Where:

%PHg = percent reduction of potential mercury emissions
Ei = mercury emission concentration as measured at the air 
          pollution control device inlet, corrected to 7 percent oxygen, 
          dry basis

          pollution control device outlet, corrected to 7 percent 
          oxygen, dry basis

    (c) Percent reduction in potential hydrogen chloride emissions.

          oxygen, dry basis
Eo = hydrogen chloride emission concentration as measured at 
          the air pollution control device outlet, corrected to 7 
          percent oxygen, dry basis

    (d) Capacity of a municipal waste combustion unit. For a municipal 
waste combustion unit that can operate continuously for 24-hour periods, 
calculate the capacity of the municipal waste combustion unit based on 
24 hours of operation at the maximum charge rate. To determine the 
maximum charge rate, use one of two methods:
    (1) For municipal waste combustion units with a design based on heat 
input capacity, calculate the maximum charging rate based on this 
maximum heat input capacity and one of two heating values:
    (i) If your municipal waste combustion unit combusts refuse-derived 
fuel, use a heating value of 12,800 kilojoules per kilogram (5,500 
British thermal units per pound).
    (ii) If your municipal waste combustion unit combusts municipal 
solid waste, use a heating value of 10,500 kilojoules per kilogram 
(4,500 British thermal units per pound).
    (2) For municipal waste combustion units with a design not based on 
heat input capacity, use the maximum designed charging rate.

[[Page 554]]

    (e) Capacity of a batch municipal waste combustion unit. Calculate 
the capacity of a batch municipal waste combustion unit as the maximum 
design amount of municipal solid waste they can charge per batch 
multiplied by the maximum number of batches they can process in 24 
hours. Calculate this maximum number of batches by dividing 24 by the 
number of hours needed to process one batch. Retain fractional batches 
in the calculation. For example, if one batch requires 16 hours, the 
municipal waste combustion unit can combust 24/16, or 1.5 batches, in 24 
hours.
    (f) Quarterly carbon usage. If you use activated carbon to comply 
with the dioxins/furans or mercury limits, calculate the required 
quarterly usage of carbon using equation 4 or 5 of this section for 
plant basis or unit basis:
    (1) Plant basis.
    [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR31JA03.003
    
Where:

C = required quarterly carbon usage for the plant in kilograms (or 
          pounds).
fi = required carbon feed rate for the municipal waste 
          combustion unit in kilograms (or pounds) per hour. This is the 
          average carbon feed rate during the most recent mercury or 
          dioxins/furans stack tests (whichever has a higher feed rate).
hi = number of hours the municipal waste combustion unit was 
          in operation during the calendar quarter (hours).
n = number of municipal waste combustion units, i, located at your 
          plant.

    (2) Unit basis.
    [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR31JA03.004
    
Where:

C = required quarterly carbon usage for the unit in kilograms (or 
          pounds).
f = required carbon feed rate for the municipal waste combustion unit in 
          kilograms (or pounds) per hour. This is the average carbon 
          feed rate during the most recent mercury or dioxins/furans 
          stack tests (whichever has a higher feed rate).
h = number of hours the municipal waste combustion unit was in operation 
          during the calendar quarter (hours).

    Source: 81 FR 26063, Apr. 29, 2016, unless otherwise noted.

                              Applicability



Sec.62.15855  Am I subject to this subpart?

    (a) You are subject to this subpart if your SSI unit meets all three 
criteria described in paragraphs (a)(1) through (3) of this section.
    (1) You own or operate an SSI unit(s) that commenced construction on 
or before October 14, 2010.
    (2) You own or operate an SSI unit(s) that meet the definition of an 
SSI unit as defined in Sec.62.16045.
    (3) You own or operate an SSI unit(s) not exempt under Sec.
62.15860.
    (b) If you own or operator an SSI unit(s) and make changes that meet 
the definition of modification after September 21, 2011, the SSI unit 
becomes subject to 40 CFR part 60, subpart LLLL, and the federal plan no 
longer applies to that unit.
    (c) If you own or operate an SSI unit(s) and make physical or 
operational changes to the SSI unit(s) for which construction commenced 
on or before September 21, 2011 primarily to comply with the federal 
plan, 40 CFR part 60, subpart LLLL, does not apply to the unit(s). Such 
changes do not qualify as modifications under 40 CFR part 60, subpart 
LLLL.

Sec.62.15860  What SSI units are exempt from the federal plan?

    This subpart exempts combustion units that incinerate sewage sludge 
and are not located at a wastewater treatment facility designed to treat 
domestic sewage sludge. These units may be subject to another subpart of 
this part (e.g., subpart III of this part). If you own or operate such a 
combustion unit, you must notify the Administrator of an exemption claim 
under this section.



Sec.62.15865  How do I determine if my SSI unit is covered by an 
approved and effective state or tribal plan?

    This part contains a list of all states and tribal areas with 
approved Clean Air Act (CAA) section 111(d)/129 plans in effect. 
However, this part is only updated once a year. Thus, if this part does 
not indicate that your state or tribal area has an approved and 
effective plan, you should contact your state environmental agency's air 
director or your EPA regional office to determine if approval occurred 
since publication of the most recent version of this part. A state may 
also meet its CAA section 111(d)/129 obligations by submitting an 
acceptable written request for delegation of the federal plan that meets 
the requirements of this section. This is the only other option for a 
state to meet its 111(d)/129 obligations.
    (a) An acceptable federal plan delegation request must include the 
following:
    (1) A demonstration of adequate resources and legal authority to 
administer and enforce the federal plan.
    (2) The items under Sec.60.5015(a)(1), (2), and (7) of this 
chapter.
    (3) Certification that the hearing on the state delegation request, 
similar to the hearing for a state plan submittal, was held, a list of 
witnesses and their organizational affiliations, if any, appearing at 
the hearing, and a brief written summary of each presentation or written 
submission.
    (4) A commitment to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement with the 
Regional Administrator who sets forth the terms, conditions and 
effective date of the delegation and that serves as the mechanism for 
the transfer of authority. Additional guidance and information is given 
in the EPA's ``Delegations Manual, Item 7-139, Implementation and 
Enforcement of 111(d)(2) and 111(d)(2)/129(b)(3) federal plans.''
    (b) A state with an already approved SSI CAA section 111(d)/129 
state plan is not precluded from receiving EPA approval of a delegation 
request for the federal plan, providing the requirements of paragraph 
(a) of this section are met, and at the time of the delegation request, 
the state also requests withdrawal of the EPA's previous state plan 
approval.
    (c) A state's CAA section 111(d)/129 obligations are separate from 
its obligations under title V of the CAA.



Sec.62.15870  If my SSI unit is not listed on the federal plan 
inventory, am I exempt from this subpart?

    Not necessarily. Sources subject to this subpart include, but are 
not limited to, the inventory of sources listed in Docket ID Number EPA-
HQ-OAR-2012-0319 for the federal plan. Review the applicability of Sec.
62.15855 to determine if you are subject to this subpart.

                          Compliance Schedules



Sec.62.15875  What is my final compliance date?

    Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, you must submit 
a final control plan and achieve final compliance specified by the date 
in paragraph (a) of this section:
    (a) March 21, 2016, as specified in Table 1 of this subpart.
    (b) March 21, 2017, for East Bank Wastewater Treatment Plant, 6501 
Florida Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana 70117, and for the Bayshore 
Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, 100 Oak Street, Union Beach, New 
Jersey 07735.

    If you fail to submit a final control plan and achieve final 
compliance, you must submit a notification to the Administrator 
postmarked within 10 business days after the compliance date in Table 1 
to this subpart. You must inform the Administrator that you did not 
achieve compliance, and you must continue to submit reports each 
subsequent calendar month until a final control plan is submitted and 
final compliance is met. An SSI unit that operates out of compliance 
after the final compliance date would be in violation of the federal 
plan and subject to enforcement action.



Sec.62.15900  How do I comply with the requirement for submittal
of a control plan?

    For your control plan, you must satisfy the two requirements 
specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section.
    (a) Submit the final control plan to your EPA regional office and 
permitting authority or delegated authority that includes the four items 
described in paragraphs (a)(1) through (4) of this section:
    (1) A description of the devices for air pollution control and 
process changes that you will use to comply with the emission limits and 
standards and other requirements of this subpart;
    (2) The type(s) of waste to be burned, if waste other than sewage

    (4) If applicable, the petition for site-specific operating limits 
under Sec.62.15965.
    (b) Maintain an onsite copy of the final control plan.



Sec.62.15905  How do I achieve final compliance?

    For achieving final compliance, you must complete all process 
changes and retrofit construction of control devices, as specified in 
the final control plan, so that, if the affected SSI unit is brought 
online, all necessary process changes and air pollution control devices 
would operate as designed.



Sec.62.15910  What must I do if I close my SSI unit and then restart
it?

    (a) If you close your SSI unit but will restart it prior to the 
final compliance, you must submit a final control plan and achieve final 
compliance as specified in Sec.62.15875.
    (b) If you close your SSI unit but will restart it after the final 
compliance date, you must complete emission control retrofits and meet 
the emission limits, emission standards, and operating limits on the 
date your unit restarts operation.



Sec.62.15915  What must I do if I plan to permanently close my
SSI unit and not restart it?

    If you plan to close your SSI unit rather than comply with the 
federal plan, submit a closure notification, including the date of 
closure, to the Administrator by the date your final control plan is 
due.

Sec.62.15945  What if all the qualified operators are temporarily
not accessible?

    If a qualified operator is not at the facility and cannot be at the 
facility within 1 hour, you must meet the criteria specified in either 
paragraph (a) or (b) of this section, depending on the length of time 
that a qualified operator is not accessible:

[[Page 574]]

    (a) When a qualified operator is not accessible for more than 8 
hours, the SSI unit may be operated for less than 2 weeks by other plant 
personnel who are familiar with the operation of the SSI unit and who 
have completed a review of the information specified in Sec.62.15950 
within the past 12 months. However, you must record the period when a 
qualified operator was not accessible and include this deviation in the 
annual report as specified under Sec.62.16030(c).
    (b) When a qualified operator is not accessible for 2 weeks or more, 
you must take the two actions that are described in paragraphs (b)(1) 
and (2) of this section:
    (1) Notify the Administrator of this deviation in writing within 10 
days. In the notice, state what caused this deviation, what you are 
doing to ensure that a qualified operator is accessible, and when you 
anticipate that a qualified operator will be accessible; and
    (2) Submit a status report to the Administrator every 4 weeks 
outlining what you are doing to ensure that a qualified operator is 
accessible, stating when you anticipate that a qualified operator will 
be accessible and requesting approval from the Administrator to continue 
operation of the SSI unit. You must submit the first status report 4 
weeks after you notify the Administrator of the deviation under 
paragraph (b)(1) of this section:
    (i) If the Administrator notifies you that your request to continue 
operation of the SSI unit is disapproved, the SSI unit may continue 
operation for 30 days and then must cease operation; and
    (ii) Operation of the unit may resume if a qualified operator is 
accessible as required under Sec.62.15920(a). You must notify the 
Administrator within 5 days of having resumed operations and of having a 
qualified operator accessible.

how often must it be reviewed by qualified operators and plant
personnel?

    (a) You must maintain at the facility the documentation of the 
operator training procedures specified under Sec.62.15920(c)(1) and 
make the documentation readily accessible to all SSI unit operators.
    (b) You must establish a program for reviewing the information 
listed in Sec.62.15920(c)(1) with each qualified incinerator operator 
and other plant personnel who may operate the unit according to the 
provisions of Sec.62.15945(a), according to the following schedule:
    (1) The initial review of the information listed in Sec.
62.15920(c)(1) must be conducted by November 30, 2016, or prior to an 
employee's assumption of responsibilities for operation of the SSI unit, 
whichever date is later; and
    (2) Subsequent annual reviews of the information listed in Sec.
62.15920(c)(1) must be conducted no later than 12 months following the 
previous review.

      Emission Limits, Emission Standards and Operating Limits and 
                              Requirements



Sec.62.15955  What emission limits and standards must I meet and 
by when?

    You must meet the emission limits and standards specified in Table 2 
or 3 to this subpart by the final compliance date specified in Sec.
62.15875. The emission limits and standards apply at all times the unit 
is operating and during periods of malfunction. The emission limits and 
standards apply to emissions from a bypass stack or vent while sewage 
sludge is in the combustion chamber (i.e., until the sewage sludge feed 
to the combustor has been cut off for a period of time not less than the 
sewage sludge incineration residence time).



Sec.62.15960  What operating limits and requirements must I meet
and by when?

    You must meet, as applicable, the operating limits and requirements 
specified in paragraphs (a) through (d) and (h) of this section, 
according to the schedule specified in paragraph (e) of this section. 
The operating parameters for which you will establish operating limits 
for a wet scrubber, fabric filter, electrostatic precipitator or 
activated carbon injection are listed in Table 4 to this subpart. You 
must comply with

[[Page 575]]

the operating requirements in paragraph (f) of this section and the 
requirements in paragraph (g) of this section for meeting any new 
operating limits, re-established in Sec.62.16005. The operating limits 
apply at all times that sewage sludge is in the combustion chamber 
(i.e., until the sewage sludge feed to the combustor has been cut off 
for a period of time not less than the sewage sludge incineration 
residence time):
    (a) You must meet a site-specific operating limit for minimum 
operating temperature of the combustion chamber (or afterburner 
combustion chamber) that you establish in Sec.62.15985;
    (b) If you use a wet scrubber, electrostatic precipitator, activated 
carbon injection or afterburner to comply with an emission limit, you 
must meet the site-specific operating limits that you establish in Sec.
62.15985 for each operating parameter associated with each air pollution 
control device;
    (c) If you use a fabric filter to comply with the emission limits, 
you must install the bag leak detection system specified in Sec. Sec.
62.15995(b) and 62.16020(b)(3)(i) and operate the bag leak detection 
system such that the alarm does not sound more than 5-percent of the 
operating time during a 6-month period. You must calculate the alarm 
time as specified in Sec.62.16005(a)(2)(i);
    (d) You must meet the operating requirements in your site-specific 
fugitive emission monitoring plan, submitted as specified in Sec.
62.15995(d) to ensure that your ash handling system will meet the 
emission standard for fugitive emissions from ash handling;
    (e) You must meet the operating limits and requirements specified in 
paragraphs (a) through (d) of this section by the final compliance date 
specified in Sec.62.15875;
    (f) You must monitor the feed rate and moisture content of the 
sewage sludge fed to the sewage sludge incinerator, as specified in 
paragraphs (f)(1) and (2) of this section:
    (1) Continuously monitor the sewage sludge feed rate and calculate a 
daily average for all hours of operation during each 24-hour period. 
Keep a record of the daily average feed rate, as specified in Sec.
62.16025(f)(3)(ii); and
    (2) Take at least one grab sample per day of the sewage sludge fed 
to the sewage sludge incinerator. If you take more than one grab sample 
in a day, calculate the daily average for the grab samples. Keep a 
record of the daily average moisture content, as specified in Sec.
62.16025(f)(3)(ii).
    (g) For the operating limits and requirements specified in 
paragraphs (a) through (d) and (h) of this section, you must meet any 
new operating limits and requirements, re-established according to Sec.
62.16005(d)); and
    (h) If you use an air pollution control device other than a wet 
scrubber, fabric filter, electrostatic precipitator or activated carbon 
injection to comply with the emission limits in Table 2 or 3 to this 
subpart, you must meet any site-specific operating limits or 
requirements that you establish as required in Sec.62.15965.



Sec.62.15965  How do I establish operating limits if I do not
use a wet scrubber, fabric filter, electrostatic precipitator,
activated carbon injection, or fterburner, or if I limit emissions
in some other manner, to comply with the emission limits?
          

    If you use an air pollution control device other than a wet 
scrubber, fabric filter, electrostatic precipitator, activated carbon 
injection, or afterburner, or limit emissions in some other manner 
(e.g., materials balance) to comply with the emission limits in Sec.
62.15955, you must meet the requirements in paragraphs (a) and (b) of 
this section:
    (a) Meet the applicable operating limits and requirements in Sec.
60.4850 of this chapter, and establish applicable operating limits 
according to Sec.62.15985; and
    (b) Petition the Administrator for specific operating parameters, 
operating limits, and averaging periods to be established during the 
initial performance test and to be monitored continuously thereafter.
    (1) You are responsible for submitting any supporting information in 
a timely manner to enable the Administrator to consider the application 
prior to the performance test. You must not conduct the initial 
performance test until after the petition has been approved by the 
Administrator, and you must comply with the operating limits

[[Page 576]]

as written, pending approval by the Administrator. Neither submittal of 
an application, nor the Administrator's failure to approve or disapprove 
the application relieves you of the responsibility to comply with any 
provision of this subpart;
    (2) Your petition must include the five items listed in paragraphs 
(b)(2)(i) through (v) of this section:
    (i) Identification of the specific parameters you propose to 
monitor;
    (ii) A discussion of the relationship between these parameters and 
emissions of regulated pollutants, identifying how emissions of 
regulated pollutants change with changes in these parameters, and how 
limits on these parameters will serve to limit emissions of regulated 
pollutants;
    (iii) A discussion of how you will establish the upper and/or lower 
values for these parameters that will establish the operating limits on 
these parameters, including a discussion of the averaging periods 
associated with those parameters for determining compliance;
    (iv) A discussion identifying the methods you will use to measure 
and the instruments you will use to monitor these parameters, as well as 
the relative accuracy and precision of these methods and instruments; 
and
    (v) A discussion identifying the frequency and methods for 
recalibrating the instruments you will use for monitoring these 
parameters.



Sec.62.15970  Do the emission limits, emission standards,
and operating limits apply during periods of startup, shutdown,
and malfunction?

    The emission limits and standards apply at all times and during 
periods of malfunction. The operating limits apply at all times that 
sewage sludge is in the combustion chamber (i.e., until the sewage 
sludge feed to the combustor has been cut off for a period of time not 
less than the sewage sludge incineration residence time). For 
determining compliance with the CO concentration limit using CO CEMS, 
the correction to 7-percent oxygen does not apply during periods of 
startup or shutdown. Use the measured CO concentration without 
correcting for oxygen concentration in averaging with other CO 
concentrations (corrected to 7-percent O2) to determine the 
24-hour average value.



Sec.62.15975  [Reserved]

                     Initial Compliance Requirements



Sec.62.15980  How and when do I demonstrate initial compliance
with the emission limits and standards?

    To demonstrate initial compliance with the emission limits and 
standards in Table 2 or 3 to this subpart, use the procedures specified 
in paragraph (a) of this section. In lieu of using the procedures 
specified in paragraph (a) of this section, you have the option to 
demonstrate initial compliance using the procedures specified in 
paragraph (b) of this section for particulate matter, hydrogen chloride, 
carbon monoxide, dioxins/furans (total mass basis or toxic equivalency 
basis), mercury, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, cadmium, lead and 
fugitive emissions from ash handling. You must meet the requirements of 
paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section, as applicable, and paragraphs 
(c) through (e) of this section, according to the performance testing, 
monitoring, and calibration requirements in Sec.62.16015(a) and (b).
    (a) Demonstrate initial compliance using the performance test 
required in Sec.60.8 of this chapter. You must demonstrate that your 
SSI unit meets the emission limits and standards specified in Table 2 or 
3 to this subpart for particulate matter, hydrogen chloride, carbon 
monoxide, dioxins/furans (total mass basis or toxic equivalency basis), 
mercury, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, cadmium, lead and fugitive 
emissions from ash handling using the performance test. The initial 
performance test must be conducted using the test methods, averaging 
methods, and minimum sampling volumes or durations specified in Table 2 
or 3 to this subpart and according to the testing, monitoring, and 
calibration requirements specified in Sec.62.16015(a).
    (1) Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section, you must 
demonstrate that your SSI unit meets the emission limits and standards 
specified in Table 2 or 3 to this subpart by the final compliance date 
(see Table 1 to this subpart).

[[Page 577]]

    (2) You may use the results from a performance test conducted within 
the 2 previous years that was conducted under the same conditions and 
demonstrated compliance with the emission limits and standards in Table 
2 or 3 to this subpart, provided no process changes have been made since 
you conducted that performance test. However, you must continue to meet 
the operating limits established during the most recent performance test 
that demonstrated compliance with the emission limits and standards in 
Table 2 or 3 to this subpart. The performance test must have used the 
test methods specified in Table 2 or 3 to this subpart.
    (b) Demonstrate initial compliance using a continuous emissions 
monitoring system or continuous automated sampling system. The option to 
use a continuous emissions monitoring system for hydrogen chloride, 
dioxins/furans, cadmium, or lead takes effect on the date a final 
performance specification applicable to hydrogen chloride, dioxins/
furans, cadmium or lead is published in the Federal Register. The option 
to use a continuous automated sampling system for dioxins/furans takes 
effect on the date a final performance specification for such a 
continuous automated sampling system is published in the Federal 
Register. Collect data as specified in Sec.62.16015(b)(6) and use the 
following procedures:
    (1) To demonstrate initial compliance with the emission limits 
specified in Table 2 or 3 to this subpart for particulate matter, 
hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, dioxins/furans (total mass basis or 
toxic equivalency basis), mercury, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, 
cadmium and lead, you may substitute the use of a continuous monitoring 
system in lieu of conducting the initial performance test required in 
paragraph (a) of this section, as follows:
    (i) You may substitute the use of a continuous emissions monitoring 
system for any pollutant specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section 
in lieu of conducting the initial performance test for that pollutant in 
paragraph (a) of this section. For determining compliance with the 
carbon monoxide concentration limit using carbon monoxide CEMS, the 
correction to 7-percent oxygen does not apply during periods of startup 
or shutdown. Use the measured carbon monoxide concentration without 
correcting for oxygen concentration in averaging with other carbon 
monoxide concentrations (corrected to 7-percent oxygen) to determine the 
24-hour average value.
    (ii) You may substitute the use of a continuous automated sampling 
system for mercury or dioxins/furans in lieu of conducting the annual 
mercury or dioxin/furan performance test in paragraph (a) of this 
section.
    (2) If you use a continuous emissions monitoring system to 
demonstrate compliance with an applicable emission limit in Table 2 or 3

                   Continuous Compliance Requirements



Sec.62.16000  How and when do I demonstrate continuous compliance
with the emission limits and standards?

    To demonstrate continuous compliance with the emission limits and 
standards specified in Table 2 or 3 to this subpart, use the procedures 
specified in paragraph (a) of this section. In lieu of using the 
procedures specified in paragraph (a) of this section, you have the 
option to demonstrate initial compliance using the procedures specified 
in paragraph (b) of this section for particulate matter, hydrogen 
chloride, carbon monoxide, dioxins/furans (total mass basis or toxic 
equivalency basis), mercury, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, cadmium, 
lead and fugitive emissions from ash handling. You must meet the 
requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section, as applicable, 
and paragraphs (c) through (e) of this section, according to the 
performance testing, monitoring, and calibration requirements in Sec.
62.16015(a) and (b). You may also petition the Administrator for 
alternative monitoring parameters as specified in paragraph (f) of this 
section.
    (a) Demonstrate continuous compliance using a performance test. 
Except as provided in paragraphs (a)(3) and (e) of this section, 
following the date that the initial performance test for each pollutant 
in Table 2 or 3 to this subpart is completed, you must conduct a 
performance test for each such pollutant on an annual basis (between 11 
and 13 calendar months following the previous performance test). The 
performance test must be conducted using the test methods, averaging 
methods, and minimum sampling volumes or durations specified in Table 2 
or 3 to this subpart and according to the testing, monitoring and 
calibration requirements specified in Sec.62.16015(a).
    (1) You may conduct a repeat performance test at any time to 
establish new values for the operating limits to apply from that point 
forward. The Administrator may request a repeat performance test at any 
time.
    (2) You must repeat the performance test within 60 days of a process 
change, as defined in Sec.62.16045.
    (3) Except as specified in paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this 
section, you can conduct performance tests less often for a given 
pollutant, as specified in paragraphs (a)(3)(i) through (iii) of this 
section.
    (i) You can conduct performance tests less often if your performance 
tests for the pollutant for at least 2 consecutive years show that your 
emissions are at or below 75-percent of the emission limit specified in 
Table 2 or 3 to this subpart, and there are no changes in the operation 
of the affected source or air pollution control equipment that could 
increase emissions. In this case, you do not have to conduct a

[[Page 585]]

performance test for that pollutant for the next 2 years. You must 
conduct a performance test during the third year and no more than 37 
months after the previous performance test.
    (ii) If your SSI unit continues to meet the emission limit for the 
pollutant, you may choose to conduct performance tests for the pollutant 
every third year if your emissions are at or below 75-percent of the 
emission limit, and if there are no changes in the operation of the 
affected source or air pollution control equipment that could increase 
emissions, but each such performance test must be conducted no more than 
37 months after the previous performance test.
    (iii) If a performance test shows emissions exceeded 75-percent of 
the emission limit for a pollutant, you must conduct annual performance 
tests for that pollutant until all performance tests over 2 consecutive 
years show compliance.
    (b) Demonstrate continuous compliance using a continuous emissions 
monitoring system or continuous automated sampling system. The option to 
use a continuous emissions monitoring system for hydrogen chloride, 
dioxins/furans, cadmium or lead takes effect on the date a final 
performance specification applicable to hydrogen chloride, dioxins/
furans, cadmium or lead is published in the Federal Register. The option 
to use a continuous automated sampling system for dioxins/furans takes 
effect on the date a final performance specification for such a 
continuous automated sampling system is published in the Federal 
Register. Collect data as specified in Sec.62.16015(b)(6) and use the 
following procedures:
    (1) To demonstrate continuous compliance with the emission limits 
for particulate matter, hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, dioxins/
furans (total mass basis or toxic equivalency basis), mercury, nitrogen 
oxides, sulfur dioxide, cadmium and lead, you may substitute the use of 
a continuous monitoring system in lieu of conducting the annual 
performance test required in paragraph (a) of this section, as follows:
    (i) You may substitute the use of a continuous emissions monitoring 
system for any pollutant specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this section 
in lieu of conducting the annual performance test for that pollutant in 
paragraph (a) of this section. For determining compliance with the 
carbon monoxide concentration limit using carbon monoxide CEMS, the 
correction to 7-percent oxygen does not apply during periods of startup 
or shutdown. Use the measured carbon monoxide concentration without 
correcting for oxygen concentration in averaging with other carbon 
monoxide concentrations (corrected to 7-percent oxygen) to determine the 
24-hour average value.
    (ii) You may substitute the use of a continuous automated sampling 
system for mercury or dioxins/furans in lieu of conducting the annual 
mercury or dioxin/furan performance test in paragraph (a) of this 
section.
    (2) If you use a continuous emissions monitoring system to 
demonstrate compliance with an applicable emission limit in paragraph 
(b)(1) of this section, you must use the continuous emissions monitoring 
system and follow the requirements specified in Sec.62.16015(b). You 
must measure emissions according to Sec.60.13 of this chapter to 
calculate 1-hour arithmetic averages, corrected to 7-percent oxygen (or 
carbon dioxide). You must demonstrate initial compliance using a 24-hour 
block average of these 1-hour arithmetic average emission 
concentrations, calculated using Equation 19-19 in section 12.4.1 of 
Method 19 of 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7.
    (3) If you use a continuous automated sampling system to demonstrate 
compliance with an applicable emission limit in paragraph (b)(1) of this 
section, you must:
    (i) Use the continuous automated sampling system specified in Sec.
60.58b(p) and (q) of this chapter, and measure and calculate average 
emissions corrected to 7-percent oxygen (or carbon dioxide) according to 
Sec.60.58b(p) and your monitoring plan.
    (A) Use the procedures specified in Sec.60.58b(p) of this chapter 
to calculate 24-hour averages to determine compliance with the mercury 
emission limit in Table 2 or 3 to this subpart.
    (B) Use the procedures specified in Sec.60.58b(p) of this chapter 
to calculate 2-

[[Page 586]]

week averages to determine compliance with the dioxin/furan (total mass 
basis or toxic equivalency basis) emission limits in Table 2 or 3 to 
this subpart.
    (ii) Update your monitoring plan as specified in Sec.60.4880(e) of 
this chapter. For mercury continuous automated sampling systems, you 
must use Performance Specification 12B of appendix B of part 75 of this 
chapter and Procedure 5 of appendix F of part 60 of this chapter.
    (4) Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section, you must 
complete your periodic performance evaluations required in your 
monitoring plan for any continuous emissions monitoring systems and 
continuous automated sampling systems, according to the schedule 
specified in your monitoring plan. If you were previously determining 
compliance by conducting an annual performance test (or according to the 
less frequent testing for a pollutant as provided in paragraph (a)(3) of 
this section), you must complete the initial performance evaluation 
required under your monitoring plan in Sec.62.15995 for the continuous 
monitoring system prior to using the continuous emissions monitoring 
system to demonstrate compliance or continuous automated sampling 
system. Your performance evaluation must be conducted using the 
procedures and acceptance criteria specified in Sec.62.15995(a)(3).
    (c) To demonstrate compliance with the dioxins/furans toxic 
equivalency emission limit in paragraph (a) or (b) of this section, you 
must determine dioxins/furans toxic equivalency as follows:
    (1) Measure the concentration of each dioxin/furan tetra- through 
octachlorinated-isomer emitted using Method 23 at 40 CFR part 60, 
appendix A-7.
    (2) For each dioxin/furan (tetra- through octachlorinated) isomer 
measured in accordance with paragraph (c)(1) of this section, multiply 
the isomer concentration by its corresponding toxic equivalency factor 
specified in Table 5 to this subpart.
    (3) Sum the products calculated in accordance with paragraph (c)(2) 
of this section to obtain the total concentration of dioxins/furans 
emitted in terms of toxic equivalency.
    (d) You must submit an annual compliance report as specified in 
Sec.62.16030(c). You must submit a deviation report as specified in 
Sec.62.16030(d) for each instance that you did not meet each emission 
limit in Tables 2 and 3 to this subpart.
    (e) If you demonstrate continuous compliance using a performance 
test, as specified in paragraph (a) of this section, then the provisions 
of this paragraph (e) apply. If a force majeure is about to occur, 
occurs, or has occurred for which you intend to assert a claim of force 
majeure, you must notify the Administrator in writing as specified in 
Sec.62.16030(f). You must conduct the performance test as soon as 
practicable after the force majeure occurs. The Administrator will 
determine whether or not to grant the extension to the performance test 
deadline, and will notify you in writing of approval or disapproval of 
the request for an extension as soon as practicable. Until an extension 
of the performance test deadline has been approved by the Administrator, 
you remain strictly subject to the requirements of this subpart.
    (f) After any initial requests in Sec.62.15995 for alternative 
monitoring requirements for initial compliance, you may subsequently 
petition the Administrator for alternative monitoring parameters as 
specified in Sec. Sec.60.13(i) of this chapter and 62.15995(e).



Sec.62.16005  How do I demonstrate continuous compliance with my 
operating limits?

    You must continuously monitor your operating parameters as specified 
in paragraph (a) of this section and meet the requirements of paragraphs 
(b) and (c) of this section, according to the monitoring and calibration 
requirements in Sec.62.16020. You must confirm and re-establish your 
operating limits as specified in paragraph (d) of this section.
    (a) You must continuously monitor the operating parameters specified 
in paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) of this section using the continuous 
monitoring equipment and according to the procedures specified in Sec.
62.16020 or established in Sec.62.15965. To determine compliance,

[[Page 587]]

you must use the data averaging period specified in Table 4 to this 
subpart (except for alarm time of the baghouse leak detection system) 
unless a different averaging period is established under Sec.62.15965.
    (1) You must demonstrate that the SSI unit meets the operating 
limits established according to Sec. Sec.62.15965 and 62.15985 and 
paragraph (d) of this section for each applicable operating parameter.
    (2) You must demonstrate that the SSI unit meets the operating limit 
for bag leak detection systems as follows:
    (i) For a bag leak detection system, you must calculate the alarm 
time as follows:
    (A) If inspection of the fabric filter demonstrates that no 
corrective action is required, no alarm time is counted.
    (B) If corrective action is required, each alarm time shall be 
counted as a minimum of 1 hour.
    (C) If you take longer than 1 hour to initiate corrective action, 
each alarm time (i.e., time that the alarm sounds) is counted as the 
actual amount of time taken by you to initiate corrective action.
    (ii) Your maximum alarm time is equal to 5-percent of the operating 
time during a 6-month period, as specified in Sec.62.15960(c).
    (b) Operation above the established maximum, below the established 
minimum, or outside the allowable range of the operating limits 
specified in paragraph (a) of this section constitutes a deviation from 
your operating limits established under this subpart, except during 
performance tests conducted to determine compliance with the emission 
and operating limits or to establish new operating limits. You must 
submit the deviation report specified in Sec.62.16030(d) for each 
instance that you did not meet one of your operating limits established 
under this subpart.
    (c) You must submit the annual compliance report specified in Sec.
62.16030(c) to demonstrate continuous compliance.
    (d) You must confirm your operating limits according to paragraph 
(d)(1) of this section or re-establish operating limits according to 
paragraph (d)(2) of this section. Your operating limits must be 
established so as to assure ongoing compliance with the emission limits. 
These requirements also apply to your operating requirements in your 
fugitive emissions monitoring plan specified in Sec.62.15960(d).
    (1) Your operating limits must be based on operating data recorded 
during any performance test required in Sec.62.16000(a) or any 
performance evaluation required in Sec.62.16000(b)(4).
    (2) You may conduct a repeat performance test at any time to 
establish new values for the operating limits to apply from that point 
forward.



Sec.62.16010  By what date must I conduct annual air pollution
control device inspections and make any necessary repairs?

    (a) You must conduct an annual inspection of each air pollution 
control device used to comply with the emission limits, according to 
Sec.62.16015(c), no later than 12 months following the previous annual 
air pollution control device inspection.
    (b) Within 10 operating days following an air pollution control 
device inspection, all necessary repairs must be completed unless you 
obtain written approval from the Administrator establishing a date 
whereby all necessary repairs of the affected SSI unit must be 
completed.

      Performance Testing, Monitoring, and Calibration Requirements



Sec.62.16015  What are the performance testing, monitoring, and 
calibration requirements for compliance with the emission limits
and standards?

    You must meet, as applicable, the performance testing requirements 
specified in paragraph (a) of this section, the monitoring requirements 
specified in paragraph (b) of this section, the air pollution control 
device inspections requirements specified in paragraph (c) of this 
section, and the bypass stack provisions specified in paragraph (d) of 
this section.
    (a) Performance testing requirements. (1) All performance tests must 
consist of a minimum of three test runs conducted under conditions 
representative of normal operations, as specified in Sec.60.8(c) of 
this chapter. Emissions in

[[Page 588]]

excess of the emission limits or standards during periods of startup, 
shutdown, and malfunction are considered deviations from the applicable 
emission limits or standards.
    (2) You must document that the dry sludge burned during the 
performance test is representative of the sludge burned under normal 
operating conditions by:
    (i) Maintaining a log of the quantity of sewage sludge burned during 
the performance test by continuously monitoring and recording the 
average hourly rate that sewage sludge is fed to the incinerator.
    (ii) Maintaining a log of the moisture content of the sewage sludge 
burned during the performance test by taking grab samples of the sewage 
sludge fed to the incinerator for each 8 hour period that testing is 
conducted.
    (3) All performance tests must be conducted using the test methods, 
minimum sampling volume, observation period, and averaging method 
specified in Table 2 or 3 to this subpart.
    (4) Method 1 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A, must be used to select 
the sampling location and number of traverse points.
    (5) Method 3A or 3B at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-2, must be used 
for gas composition analysis, including measurement of oxygen 
concentration. Method 3A or 3B at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-2, must be 
used simultaneously with each method.
    (6) All pollutant concentrations must be adjusted to 7-percent 
oxygen using Equation 1 of this section:

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR29AP16.025

Where:

Cadj = Pollutant concentration adjusted to 7 percent oxygen.
Cmeas = Pollutant concentration measured on a dry basis.
(20.9 - 7) = 20.9 percent oxygen - 7 percent oxygen (defined oxygen 
          correction basis).
20.9 = Oxygen concentration in air, percent.
%O2 = Oxygen concentration measured on a dry basis, percent.

    (7) Performance tests must be conducted and data reduced in 
accordance with the test methods and procedures contained in this 
subpart unless the Administrator does one of the following.
    (i) Specifies or approves, in specific cases, the use of a method 
with minor changes in methodology.
    (ii) Approves the use of an equivalent method.
    (iii) Approves the use of an alternative method the results of which 
he has determined to be adequate for indicating whether a specific 
source is in compliance.
    (iv) Waives the requirement for performance tests because you have 
demonstrated by other means to the Administrator's satisfaction that the 
affected SSI unit is in compliance with the standard.
    (v) Approves shorter sampling times and smaller sample volumes when 
necessitated by process variables or other factors. Nothing in this 
paragraph (a)(7) is construed to abrogate the Administrator's authority 
to require testing under section 114 of the Clean Air Act.
    (8) You must provide the Administrator at least 30 days prior notice 
of any performance test, except as specified under other subparts, to 
afford the Administrator the opportunity to have an observer present. If 
after 30 days' notice for an initially scheduled performance test, there 
is a delay (due to operational problems, etc.) in conducting the 
scheduled performance test, you must notify the Administrator as soon as 
possible of any delay in the original test date, either by providing at 
least 7 days prior notice of the rescheduled date of the performance 
test, or by arranging a rescheduled date with the Administrator by 
mutual agreement.
    (9) You must provide, or cause to be provided, performance testing 
facilities as follows:
    (i) Sampling ports adequate for the test methods applicable to the 
SSI unit, as follows:

[[Page 589]]

    (A) Constructing the air pollution control system such that 
volumetric flow rates and pollutant emission rates can be accurately 
determined by applicable test methods and procedures.
    (B) Providing a stack or duct free of cyclonic flow during 
performance tests, as demonstrated by applicable test methods and 
procedures.
    (ii) Safe sampling platform(s).
    (iii) Safe access to sampling platform(s).
    (iv) Utilities for sampling and testing equipment.
    (10) Unless otherwise specified in this subpart, each performance 
test must consist of three separate runs using the applicable test 
method. Each run must be conducted for the time and under the conditions 
specified in the applicable standard. Compliance with each emission 
limit must be determined by calculating the arithmetic mean of the three 
runs. In the event that a sample is accidentally lost or conditions 
occur in which one of the three runs must be discontinued because of 
forced shutdown, failure of an irreplaceable portion of the sample 
train, extreme meteorological conditions, or other circumstances, beyond 
your control, compliance may, upon the Administrator's approval, be 
determined using the arithmetic mean of the results of the two other 
runs.
    (11) During each test run specified in paragraph (a)(1) of this 
section, you must operate your sewage sludge incinerator at a minimum of 
85-percent of your maximum permitted capacity.
    (b) Continuous monitor requirements. You must meet the following 
requirements, as applicable, when using a continuous monitoring system 
to demonstrate compliance with the emission limits in Table 2 or 3 to 
this subpart. The option to use a continuous emissions monitoring system 
for hydrogen chloride, dioxins/furans, cadmium, or lead takes effect on 
the date a final performance specification applicable to hydrogen 
chloride, dioxins/furans, cadmium or lead is published in the Federal 
Register. If you elect to use a continuous emissions monitoring system 
instead of conducting annual performance testing, you must meet the 
requirements of paragraphs (b)(1) through (6) of this section. If you 
elect to use a continuous automated sampling system instead of 
conducting annual performance testing, you must meet the requirements of 
paragraph (b)(7) of this section. The option to use a continuous 
automated sampling system for dioxins/furans takes effect on the date a 
final performance specification for such a continuous automated sampling 
system is published in the Federal Register.
    (1) You must notify the Administrator 1 month before starting use of 
the continuous emissions monitoring system.
    (2) You must notify the Administrator 1 month before stopping use of 
the continuous emissions monitoring system, in which case you must also 
conduct a performance test within prior to ceasing operation of the 
system.
    (3) You must install, operate, calibrate, and maintain an instrument 
for continuously measuring and recording the emissions to the atmosphere 
in accordance with the following:
    (i) Section 60.13 of subpart A of part 60 of this chapter.
    (ii) The following performance specifications of appendix B of part 
60 of this chapter, as applicable:
    (A) For particulate matter, Performance Specification 11 of appendix 
B of part 60 of this chapter.
    (B) For hydrogen chloride, Performance Specification 15 of appendix 
B of part 60 of this chapter.
    (C) For carbon monoxide, Performance Specification 4B of appendix B 
of part 60 of this chapter with spans appropriate to the applicable 
emission limit.
    (D) [Reserved]
    (E) For mercury, Performance Specification 12A of appendix B of part 
60 of this chapter.
    (F) For nitrogen oxides, Performance Specification 2 of appendix B 
of part 60 of this chapter.
    (G) For sulfur dioxide, Performance Specification 2 of appendix B of 
part 60 of this chapter.
    (iii) For continuous emissions monitoring systems, the quality 
assurance procedures (e.g., quarterly accuracy determinations and daily 
calibration drift tests) of appendix F of part 60 of this chapter 
specified in paragraphs

[[Page 590]]

(b)(3)(iii)(A) through (G) of this section. For each pollutant, the span 
value of the continuous emissions monitoring system is two times the 
applicable emission limit, expressed as a concentration.
    (A) For particulate matter, Procedure 2 in appendix F of part 60 of 
this chapter.
    (B) For hydrogen chloride, Procedure 1 in appendix F of part 60 of 
this chapter except that the Relative Accuracy Test Audit requirements 
of Procedure 1 shall be replaced with the validation requirements and 
criteria of sections 11.1.1 and 12.0 of Performance Specification 15 of 
appendix B of part 60 of this chapter.
    (C) For carbon monoxide, Procedure 1 in appendix F of part 60 of 
this chapter.
    (D) [Reserved]
    (E) For mercury, Procedures 5 in appendix F of part 60 of this 
chapter.
    (F) For nitrogen oxides, Procedure 1 in appendix F of part 60 of 
this chapter.
    (G) For sulfur dioxide, Procedure 1 in appendix F of part 60 of this 
chapter.
    (iv) If your monitoring system has a malfunction or out-of-control 
period, you must complete repairs and resume operation of your 
monitoring system as expeditiously as possible.
    (4) During each relative accuracy test run of the continuous 
emissions monitoring system using the performance specifications in 
paragraph (b)(3)(ii) of this section, emission data for each regulated 
pollutant and oxygen (or carbon dioxide as established in paragraph 
(b)(5) of this section) must be collected concurrently (or within a 30- 
to 60-minute period) by both the continuous emissions monitoring systems 
and the test methods specified in paragraph (b)(4)(i) through (viii) of 
this section. Relative accuracy testing must be at representative 
operating conditions while the SSI unit is charging sewage sludge.
    (i) For particulate matter, Method 5 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-
3, or Method 26A or 29 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-8, shall be used.
    (ii) For hydrogen chloride, Method 26 or 26A at 40 CFR part 60, 
appendix A-8, shall be used, as specified in Tables 2 and 3 to this 
subpart.
    (iii) For carbon monoxide, Method 10, 10A, or 10B at 40 CFR part 60, 
appendix A-4, shall be used.
    (iv) For dioxins/furans, Method 23 at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-7, 
shall be used.
    (v) For mercury, cadmium and lead, Method 29 at 40 CFR part 60, 
appendix A-8, shall be used. Alternatively for mercury, either Method 
30B at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-8, or ASTM D6784-02 (Reapproved 2008) 
(see paragraph (e) of this section).
    (vi) For nitrogen oxides, Method 7 or 7E at 40 CFR part 60, appendix 
A-4, shall be used.
    (vii) For sulfur dioxide, Method 6 or 6C at 40 CFR part 60, appendix 
A-4, or as an alternative ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981, Flue and Exhaust Gas 
Analyses [Part 10, Instruments and Apparatus] must be used (see 
paragraph (e) of this section). For sources that have actual inlet 
emissions less than 100 parts per million dry volume, the relative 
accuracy criterion for the inlet of the sulfur dioxide continuous 
emissions monitoring system should be no greater than 20-percent of the 
mean value of the method test data in terms of the units of the emission 
standard, or 5 parts per million dry volume absolute value of the mean 
difference between the method and the continuous emissions monitoring 
system, whichever is greater.
    (viii) For oxygen (or carbon dioxide as established in paragraph 
(b)(5) of this section), Method 3A or 3B at 40 CFR part 60, appendix A-
2, or as an alternative ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981, Flue and Exhaust Gas 
Analyses [Part 10, Instruments and Apparatus], as applicable, must be 
used (see paragraph (e) of this section).
    (5) You may request that compliance with the emission limits be 
determined using carbon dioxide measurements corrected to an equivalent 
of 7-percent oxygen. If carbon dioxide is selected for use in diluent 
corrections, the relationship between oxygen and carbon dioxide levels 
must be established during the initial performance test according to the 
procedures and methods specified in paragraphs (b)(5)(i) through (iv) of 
this section. This relationship may be re-established during subsequent 
performance tests.

[[Page 591]]

    (i) The fuel factor equation in Method 3B at 40 CFR part 60, 
appendix A-2, must be used to determine the relationship between oxygen 
and carbon dioxide at a sampling location. Method 3A or 3B at 50 CFR 
part 60, appendix A-2, or as an alternative ANSI/ASME PTC 19.10-1981, 
Flue and Exhaust Gas Analyses [Part 10, Instruments and Apparatus], as 
applicable, must be used to determine the oxygen concentration at the 
same location as the carbon dioxide monitor(see paragraph (e) of this 
section).
    (ii) Samples must be taken for at least 30 minutes in each hour.
    (iii) Each sample must represent a 1-hour average.
    (iv) A minimum of three runs must be performed.
    (6) You must operate the continuous monitoring system and collect 
data with the continuous monitoring system as follows:
    (i) You must collect data using the continuous monitoring system at 
all times the affected SSI unit is operating and at the intervals 
specified in paragraph (b)(6)(ii) of this section, except for periods of 
monitoring system malfunctions that occur during periods specified in 
Sec.62.15995(a)(7)(i), repairs associated with monitoring system 
malfunctions, and required monitoring system quality assurance or 
quality control activities (including, as applicable, calibration checks 
and required zero and span adjustments). Any such periods that you do 
not collect data using the continuous monitoring system constitute a 
deviation from the monitoring requirements and must be reported in a 
deviation report.
    (ii) You must collect continuous emissions monitoring system data in 
accordance with Sec.60.13(e)(2) of this chapter.
    (iii) Any data collected during monitoring system malfunctions, 
repairs associated with monitoring system malfunctions, or required 
monitoring system quality assurance or control activities must not be 
included in calculations used to report emissions or operating levels. 
Any such periods must be reported in a deviation report.
    (iv) Any data collected during periods when the monitoring system is 
out of control as specified in Sec.60.4880(a)(7)(i) of this chapter, 
repairs associated with periods when the monitoring system is out of 
control, or required monitoring system quality assurance or control 
activities conducted during out-of-control periods must not be included 
in calculations used to report emissions or operating levels. Any such 
periods that do not coincide with a monitoring system malfunction as 
defined in Sec.62.16045, constitute a deviation from the monitoring 
requirements and must be reported in a deviation report.
    (v) You must use all the data collected during all periods except 
those periods specified in paragraphs (b)(6)(iii) and (iv) of this 
section in assessing the operation of the control device and associated 
control system.
    (7) If you elect to use a continuous automated sampling system 
instead of conducting annual performance testing, you must:
    (i) Install, calibrate, maintain and operate a continuous automated 
sampling system according to the site-specific monitoring plan developed 
in Sec.60.58b(p)(1) through (6), (9), (10), and (q) of this chapter.
    (ii) Collect data according to Sec.60.58b(p)(5) of this chapter 
and paragraph (b)(6) of this section.
    (c) Air pollution control device inspections. You must conduct air 
pollution control device inspections that include, at a minimum, the 
following:
    (1) Inspect air pollution control device(s) for proper operation.
    (2) Generally observe that the equipment is maintained in good 
operating condition.
    (3) Develop a site-specific monitoring plan according to the 
requirements in Sec.62.15995. This requirement also applies to you if 
you petition the EPA Administrator for alternative monitoring parameters 
under Sec.60.13(i) of this chapter.
    (d) Bypass stack. Use of the bypass stack at any time that sewage 
sludge is being charged to the SSI unit is an emissions standards 
deviation for all pollutants listed in Table 2 or 3 to this subpart. The 
use of the bypass stack during a performance test invalidates the 
performance test.
    (e) Incorporation by reference. These standards are incorporated by 
reference into this section with the approval of the Director of the 
Federal

                       Title V--Operating Permits



Sec.62.16035  Am I required to apply for and obtain a title V 
operating permit for my existing SSI unit?

    Yes, if you are subject to an applicable EPA-approved and effective 
CAA section 111(d)/129 state or tribal plan or an applicable and 
effective federal plan, you are required to apply for and obtain a title 
V operating permit for your existing SSI unit unless you meet the 
relevant requirements for an exemption specified in Sec.62.15860.



Sec.62.16040  When must I submit a title V permit application 
for my existing SSI unit?

    (a) If your existing SSI unit is not subject to an earlier permit 
application deadline, a complete title V permit application must be 
submitted on or before the earlier of the dates specified in paragraphs 
(a)(1) through (3) of this section. (See sections 129(e), 503(c), 
503(d), and 502(a) of the Clean Air Act and 40 CFR 70.5(a)(1)(i) and 
71.5(a)(1)(i)).
    (1) 12 months after the effective date of any applicable EPA-
approved Clean

[[Page 601]]

Air Act section 111(d)/129 state or tribal plan.
    (2) 12 months after the effective date of any applicable federal 
plan.
    (3) March 21, 2014.
    (b) For any existing unit not subject to an earlier permit 
application deadline, the application deadline of 36 months after the 
promulgation of 40 CFR part 60, subpart MMMM, applies regardless of 
whether or when any applicable federal plan is effective, or whether or 
when any applicable Clean Air Act section 111(d)/129 state or tribal 
plan is approved by the EPA and becomes effective.
    (c) If your existing unit is subject to title V as a result of some 
triggering requirement(s) other than those specified in paragraphs (a) 
and (b) of this section (for example, a unit may be a major source or 
part of a major source), then your unit may be required to apply for a 
title V permit prior to the deadlines specified in paragraphs (a) and 
(b). If more than one requirement triggers a source's obligation to 
apply for a title V permit, the 12-month time frame for filing a title V 
permit application is triggered by the requirement which first causes 
the source to be subject to title V. (See section 503(c) of the Clean 
Air Act and 40 CFR 70.3(a) and (b), 70.5(a)(1)(i), 71.3(a) and (b), and 
71.5(a)(1)(i).)
    (d) A ``complete'' title V permit application is one that has been 
determined or deemed complete by the relevant permitting authority under 
section 503(d) of the Clean Air Act and 40 CFR 70.5(a)(2) or 71.5(a)(2). 
You must submit a complete permit application by the relevant 
application deadline in order to operate after this date in compliance 
with federal law. (See sections 503(d) and 502(a) of the Clean Air Act 
and 40 CFR 70.7(b) and 71.7(b).)

\1\ As specified in Sec. 62.15985, you may use a continuous emissions monitoring system or continuous
  automated sampling system in lieu of establishing certain operating limits.
\2\ This recording time refers to the minimum frequency that the continuous monitor or other measuring device
  initially records data. For all data recorded every 15 minutes, you must calculate hourly arithmetic averages.
  For all parameters, you use hourly averages to calculate the 12-hour or 3-hour block average specified in this
  table for demonstrating compliance. You maintain records of 1-hour averages.

    Subpart OOO_Federal Plan Requirements for Municipal Solid Waste 
  Landfills That Commenced Construction On or Before July 17, 2014 and 
       Have Not Been Modified or Reconstructed Since July 17, 2014

    Source: 86 FR 27770, May 21, 2021, unless otherwise noted.



Sec.62.16710  Scope and delegated authorities.

    This subpart establishes emission control requirements and 
compliance schedules for the control of designated pollutants from 
certain designated municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills in accordance 
with section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act and subpart B of 40 CFR part 
60.
    (a) If you own or operate a designated facility as described in 
Sec.62.16711, then you must comply with this subpart.
    (b) The following authorities will not be delegated to state, local, 
or tribal agencies:
    (1) Approval of alternative methods to determine the site-specific 
nonmethane organic compounds (NMOC) concentration or a site-specific 
methane generation rate constant (k).
    (2) Alternative emission standards.
    (3) Major alternatives to test methods. Major alternatives to test 
methods or to monitoring are modifications made to a federally 
enforceable test method or to a Federal monitoring requirement. These 
changes may involve the use of unproven technology or modified 
procedures or an entirely new method.
    (4) Waivers of recordkeeping.



Sec.62.16711  Designated facilities.

    (a) The designated facility to which this subpart applies is each 
municipal solid waste landfill in each state, protectorate, and portion 
of Indian country that meets the conditions of paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) 
of this section, except for landfills exempted by paragraphs (b) and (c) 
of this section.
    (1) The municipal solid waste landfill commenced construction, 
reconstruction, or modification on or before July 17, 2014.
    (2) The municipal solid waste landfill has accepted waste at any 
time since November 8, 1987, or the landfill has additional capacity for 
future waste deposition.
    (b) A municipal solid waste landfill regulated by an EPA-approved 
and currently effective state or tribal plan implementing 40 CFR 60, 
subpart Cf, is not subject to the requirements of this subpart.
    (c) A municipal solid waste landfill located in a state, locality, 
or portion of Indian country that submitted a negative declaration 
letter is not subject to the requirements of this subpart other than the 
requirements in the definition of design capacity in Sec.62.16730 to 
recalculate the site-specific density annually and in Sec.62.16724(b) 
to submit an amended design capacity report in the event that the 
recalculated design capacity is equal to or greater than 2.5 million 
megagrams and 2.5 million cubic meters. However, if the existing 
municipal solid waste landfill already has a design capacity equal to or 
greater than 2.5 million megagrams and 2.5 million cubic meters, then it 
is subject to the requirements of this Federal plan.
    (d) Physical or operational changes made to an existing MSW landfill 
solely to comply with an emission guideline implemented by a state or 
Federal plan are not considered a modification or reconstruction and 
would not subject an existing MSW landfill to the requirements of 40 CFR 
60, subpart XXX. Landfills that commence construction,

[[Page 611]]

modification, or reconstruction after July 17, 2014, are subject to 40 
CFR part 60, subpart XXX.
    (e) For purposes of obtaining an operating permit under title V of 
the Clean Air Act, the owner or operator of an MSW landfill subject to 
this subpart with a design capacity less than 2.5 million megagrams or 
2.5 million cubic meters is not subject to the requirement to obtain an 
operating permit for the landfill under 40 CFR part 70 or 71, unless the 
landfill is otherwise subject to either 40 CFR part 70 or 71. For 
purposes of submitting a timely application for an operating permit 
under 40 CFR part 70 or 71, the owner or operator of an MSW landfill 
subject to this subpart with a design capacity greater than or equal to 
2.5 million megagrams and 2.5 million cubic meters, and not otherwise 
subject to either 40 CFR part 70 or 71, becomes subject to the 
requirements of Sec.70.5(a)(1)(i) or 71.5(a)(1)(i) of this chapter 90 
days after the effective date of such CAA section 111(d) program 
approval, even if the design capacity report is submitted earlier.
    (f) When an MSW landfill subject to this subpart is closed as 
defined in this subpart, the owner or operator is no longer subject to 
the requirement to maintain an operating permit under 40 CFR part 70 or 
71 for the landfill if the landfill is not otherwise subject to the 
requirements of either 40 CFR part 70 or 71 and if either of the 
following conditions are met:
    (1) The landfill was never subject to the requirement to install and 
operate a gas collection and control system under Sec.62.16714; or
    (2) The landfill meets the conditions for control system removal 
specified in Sec.62.16714(f).
    (g) When an MSW landfill subject to this subpart is in the closed 
landfill subcategory, the owner or operator is not subject to the 
following reports of this subpart, provided the owner or operator 
submitted these reports under the provisions of 40 CFR part 60, subpart 
WWW; subpart GGG of this part; or a state plan implementing 40 CFR part 
60, subpart Cc, on or before July 17, 2014:
    (1) Initial design capacity report specified in Sec.62.16724(a).
    (2) Initial or subsequent NMOC emission rate report specified in 
Sec.62.16724(c), provided that the most recent NMOC emission rate 
report indicated the NMOC emissions were below 50 megagrams per year.
    (3) Collection and control system design plan specified in Sec.
62.16724(d).
    (4) Closure report specified in Sec.62.16724(f).

    (6) Initial annual report specified in Sec.62.16724(h).
    (7) Initial performance test report in Sec.62.16724(i).
    (h) When an MSW landfill subject to this subpart is a legacy 
controlled landfill, as defined in Sec.62.16730, the owner or operator 
is not subject to the following reports of this subpart, provided the 
owner or operator submitted these reports under 40 CFR part 60, subpart 
WWW; subpart GGG of this part; or a state plan implementing 40 CFR part 
60, subpart Cc on or before June 21, 2021.
    (1) Initial design capacity report specified in Sec.62.16724(a).
    (2) Initial or subsequent NMOC emission rate report specified in 
Sec.62.16724(c).

Sec.62.16712  Compliance schedule and increments of progress.

    Planning, awarding of contracts, installing, and starting up MSW 
landfill air emission collection and control equipment that is capable 
of meeting the emission standards of Sec.62.16714 must be completed 
within 30 months after the date an NMOC emission rate report shows NMOC 
emissions equal or exceed 34 megagrams per year; or within 30 months 
after the date of the most recent NMOC emission rate report that shows 
NMOC emissions equal or exceed 34 megagrams per year, if Tier 4 surface 
emissions monitoring (SEM) shows a surface emission concentration of 500 
parts per million methane or greater. Legacy controlled landfills who 
have not yet reached increment 5

[[Page 612]]

(full compliance) must demonstrate compliance with any remaining 
increments of progress on this schedule. However, they must use the date 
of their first report submitted under 40 CFR part 60, subpart WWW, 40 
CFR part 62, subpart GGG or a state plan implementing 40 CFR part 60, 
subpart Cc showing NMOC emissions at or above 50 megagrams. The owner or 
operator must follow the requirements in paragraphs (a) through (d) of 
this section.
    (a) Increments of progress. The owner or operator of a designated 
facility that has a design capacity equal to or greater than 2.5 million 
megagrams and 2.5 million cubic meters and a NMOC emission rate greater 
than or equal to 34 megagrams per year must achieve the increments of 
progress specified in paragraphs (a)(1) through (5) of this section to 
install air pollution control devices to meet the emission standards 
specified in Sec.62.16714(b) and (c) of this subpart. Refer to Sec.
62.16730 for a definition of each increment of progress.
    (1) Submit control plan. Submit a final control plan (collection and 
control system design plan) according to the requirements of Sec.
62.16724(d).
    (2) Award contract(s). Award contract(s) to initiate on-site 
construction or initiate on-site installation of emission collection 
and/or control equipment.
    (3) Initiate on-site construction. Initiate on-site construction or 
initiate on-site installation of emission collection and/or control 
equipment as described in the EPA-approved final control plan.
    (4) Complete on-site construction. Complete on-site construction and 
installation of emission collection and/or control equipment.
    (5) Achieve final compliance. Complete construction in accordance 
with the design specified in the EPA-approved final control plan and 
connect the landfill gas collection system and air pollution control 
equipment such that they are fully operating. The initial performance 
test must be conducted within 180 days after the date the facility is 
required to achieve final compliance. For a legacy controlled landfill, 
the initial or most recent performance test conducted to comply with 40 
CFR part 60, subpart WWW, subpart GGG of this part, or a state plan 
implementing 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cc is sufficient for compliance 
with this part. The test report does not have to be resubmitted.
    (b) Compliance date. For each designated facility that has a design 
capacity equal to or greater than 2.5 million megagrams and 2.5 million 
cubic meters and a NMOC emission rate greater than or equal to 34 
megagrams per year (50 megagrams per year for closed landfill 
subcategory), planning, awarding of contracts, and installation of 
municipal solid waste landfill air emission collection and control 
equipment capable of meeting the standards in Sec.62.16714(b) and (c) 
must be accomplished within 30 months after the date the initial 
emission rate report (or the annual emission rate report) first shows 
that the NMOC emission rate equals or exceeds 34 megagrams per year (50 
megagrams per year for closed landfill subcategory), except as provided 
in Sec.62.16712(c)(3).
    (c) Compliance schedules. The owner or operator of a designated 
facility that has a design capacity equal to or greater than 2.5 million 
megagrams and 2.5 million cubic meters and a NMOC emission rate greater 
than or equal to 34 megagrams per year (50 megagrams per year for closed 
landfill subcategory) must achieve the increments of progress specified 
in paragraphs (a)(1) through (5) of this section according to the 
schedule specified in paragraph (c)(1), (2), or (3) of this section.
    (1) Achieving Increments of Progress. The owner or operator of a 
designated facility must achieve the increments of progress according to 
the schedule in table 1 of this subpart. Once this subpart becomes 
effective, any designated facility to which this subpart applies will 
remain subject to the schedule in table 1 if a subsequently approved 
state or tribal plan contains a less stringent schedule, (i.e., a 
schedule that provides more time to comply with increments 1, 4 and/or 5 
than does this Federal plan).
    (2) Tier 4. The owner or operator of a designated facility that is 
using the Tier 4 procedures specified in

[[Page 613]]

Sec.62.16718(a)(6) must achieve the increments of progress according 
to the schedule in table 1 of this subpart.
    (d) Alternative dates. For designated facilities that are subject to 
the schedule requirements of paragraph (c)(1) of this section, the owner 
or operator (or the state or tribal air pollution control authority) may 
submit to the appropriate EPA Regional Office for approval alternative 
dates for achieving increments 2 and 3.



Sec.62.16714  Standards for municipal solid waste landfill emissions.

    (a) Landfills. Each owner or operator of an MSW landfill having a 
design capacity greater than or equal to 2.5 million megagrams by mass

initial performance test to be completed no later than 180 days after 
the initial startup of the approved control system using the test 
methods specified in Sec.62.16718(d). The performance test is not 
required for boilers and process heaters with design heat input 
capacities equal to or greater than 44 megawatts that burn landfill gas 
for compliance with this subpart.
    (i) If a boiler or process heater is used as the control device, the 
landfill gas stream must be introduced into the flame zone.
    (ii) The control device must be operated within the parameter ranges 
established during the initial or most recent performance test. The 
operating parameters to be monitored are specified in Sec.62.16722.
    (iii) Legacy controlled landfills or landfills in the closed 
landfill subcategory that have already installed control systems and 
completed initial or subsequent performance tests may comply with this 
subpart using the initial or most recent performance test conducted to 
comply with 40 CFR part 60, subpart WWW; subpart GGG of this part; or a 
state plan implementing subpart Cc of part 60, is sufficient for 
compliance with this subpart.
    (3) Route the collected gas to a treatment system that processes the 
collected gas for subsequent sale or beneficial use such as fuel for 
combustion, production of vehicle fuel, production of high-Btu gas for 
pipeline injection, or use as a raw material in a chemical manufacturing 
process. Venting of treated landfill gas to the ambient air is not 
allowed. If the treated landfill gas cannot be routed for subsequent 
sale or beneficial use, then the treated landfill gas must be controlled 
according to either paragraph (c)(1) or (2) of this section.
    (4) All emissions from any atmospheric vent from the gas treatment 
system are subject to the requirements of paragraph (b) or (c) of this 
section. For purposes of this subpart, atmospheric vents located on the 
condensate storage tank are not part of the treatment system and are 
exempt from the requirements of paragraph (b) or (c) of this section.
    (d) Design capacity. Each owner or operator of an MSW landfill 
having a design capacity less than 2.5 million megagrams by mass or 2.5 
million cubic meters by volume must submit an initial design capacity 
report to the Administrator as provided in Sec.62.16724(a). The 
landfill may calculate design capacity in either megagrams or cubic 
meters for comparison with the exemption values. Any density conversions 
must be documented and submitted with the report. Submittal of the 
initial design capacity report fulfills the requirements of this subpart 
except as provided in paragraphs (d)(1) and (2) of this section.
    (1) The owner or operator must submit an amended design capacity 
report as provided in Sec.62.16724(b).
    (2) When an increase in the maximum design capacity of a landfill 
with an initial design capacity less than 2.5 million megagrams or 2.5 
million cubic meters results in a revised maximum design capacity equal 
to or greater than 2.5 million megagrams and 2.5 million cubic meters, 
the owner or operator must comply with paragraph (e) of this section.
    (e) Emissions. The owner or operator of an MSW landfill having a 
design capacity equal to or greater than 2.5 million megagrams and 2.5 
million cubic meters must either install a collection and control system 
as provided in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section or calculate an 
initial NMOC emission rate for the landfill using the procedures 
specified in Sec.62.16718(a). The NMOC emission rate must be 
recalculated annually, except as provided in Sec.62.16724(c)(3).
    (1) If the calculated NMOC emission rate is less than 34 megagrams 
per year, the owner or operator must:
    (i) Submit an annual NMOC emission rate report according to Sec.
62.16724(c), except as provided in Sec.62.16724(c)(3); and
    (ii) Recalculate the NMOC emission rate annually using the 
procedures

[[Page 615]]

specified in Sec.62.16724(a) until such time as the calculated NMOC 
emission rate is equal to or greater than 34 megagrams per year, or the 
landfill is closed.
    (A) If the calculated NMOC emission rate, upon initial calculation 
or annual recalculation required in paragraph (e)(1)(ii) of this 
section, is equal to or greater than 34 megagrams per year, the owner or 
operator must either: Comply with paragraphs (b) and (c) of this 
section; calculate NMOC emissions using the next higher tier in Sec.
62.16718; or conduct a surface emission monitoring demonstration using 
the procedures specified in Sec.62.16718(a)(6).
    (B) If the landfill is permanently closed, a closure report must be 
submitted to the Administrator as provided in Sec.62.16724(f), except 
for exemption allowed under Sec.62.16711(g)(4).
    (2) If the calculated NMOC emission rate is equal to or greater than 
34 megagrams per year using Tier 1, 2, or 3 procedures, the owner or 
operator must either: Submit a collection and control system design plan 
prepared by a professional engineer to the Administrator within 1 year 
as specified in Sec.62.16724(d), except for exemptions allowed under 
Sec.62.16711(g)(3); calculate NMOC emissions using a higher tier in 
Sec.62.16718; or conduct a surface emission monitoring demonstration 
using the procedures specified in Sec.62.16718(a)(6).
    (3) For the closed landfill subcategory, if the calculated NMOC 
emission rate submitted under previously applicable regulations 40 CFR 
part 60, subpart WWW; 40 CFR part 62, subpart GGG; or a state plan 
implementing 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cc is equal to or greater than 50 
megagrams per year using Tier 1, 2, or 3 procedures, the owner or 
operator must either: submit a collection and control system design plan 
as specified in Sec.62.16724(d), except for exemptions allowed under 
Sec.62.16711(g)(3); or calculate NMOC emissions using a higher tier in 
Sec.62.16718.
    (f) Removal criteria. The collection and control system may be 
capped, removed, or decommissioned if the following criteria are met:
    (1) The landfill is a closed landfill (as defined in Sec.
62.16730). A closure report must be submitted to the Administrator as 
provided in Sec.62.16724(f).
    (2) The collection and control system has been in operation a 
minimum of 15 years or the landfill owner or operator demonstrates that 
the gas collection and control system will be unable to operate for 15 
years due to declining gas flow.
    (3) Following the procedures specified in Sec.62.16718(b), the 
calculated NMOC emission rate at the landfill is less than 34 megagrams 
per year on three successive test dates. The test dates must be no less 
than 90 days apart, and no more than 180 days apart.
    (4) For the closed landfill subcategory (as defined in Sec.
62.16730), following the procedures specified in Sec.62.16718(b), the 
calculated NMOC emission rate at the landfill is less than 50 megagrams 
per year on three successive test dates. The test dates must be no less 
than 90 days apart, and no more than 180 days apart.



Sec.62.16716  Operational standards for collection and control systems.

    Each owner or operator must comply with the provisions for the 
operational standards in this section (as well as the provisions in 
Sec. Sec.62.16720 and 62.16722), or the operational standards in Sec.
63.1958 of this chapter (as well as the provisions in Sec. Sec.63.1960 
and 63.1961 of this chapter), or both as alternative means of 
compliance, for an MSW landfill with a gas collection and control system 
used to comply with the provisions of Sec.62.16714(b) and (c). Once 
the owner or operator begins to comply with the provisions of Sec.
63.1958 of this chapter, the owner or operator must continue to operate 
the collection and control device according to those provisions and 
cannot return to the provisions of this section. Each owner or operator 
of an MSW landfill with a gas collection and control system used to 
comply with the provisions of Sec.62.16714(b) and (c) must:
    (a) Operate the collection system such that gas is collected from 
each area, cell, or group of cells in the MSW landfill in which solid 
waste has been in place for:
    (1) 5 years or more if active; or
    (2) 2 years or more if closed or at final grade;

[[Page 616]]

    (b) Operate the collection system with negative pressure at each 
wellhead except under the following conditions:
    (1) A fire or increased well temperature. The owner or operator must 
record instances when positive pressure occurs in efforts to avoid a 
fire. These records must be submitted with the annual reports as 
provided in Sec.62.16724(h)(1);
    (2) Use of a geomembrane or synthetic cover. The owner or operator 
must develop acceptable pressure limits in the design plan;
    (3) A decommissioned well. A well may experience a static positive 
pressure after shut down to accommodate for declining flows. All design 
changes must be approved by the Administrator as specified in Sec.
62.16724(d);
    (c) Operate each interior wellhead in the collection system with a 
landfill gas temperature less than 55 degrees Celsius (131 degrees 
Fahrenheit). The owner or operator may establish a higher operating 
temperature value at a particular well. A higher operating value 
demonstration must be submitted to the Administrator for approval and 
must include supporting data demonstrating that the elevated parameter 
neither causes fires nor significantly inhibits anaerobic decomposition 
by killing methanogens. The demonstration must satisfy both criteria in 
order to be approved (i.e., neither causing fires nor killing 
methanogens is acceptable).
    (d) Operate the collection system so that the methane concentration 
is less than 500 parts per million above background at the surface of 
the landfill. To determine if this level is exceeded, the owner or 
operator must conduct surface testing using an organic vapor analyzer, 
flame ionization detector, or other portable monitor meeting the 
specifications provided in Sec.62.16720(d). The owner or operator must 
conduct surface testing around the perimeter of the collection area and 
along a pattern that traverses the landfill at no more than 30-meter 
intervals and where visual observations indicate elevated concentrations 
of landfill gas, such as distressed vegetation and cracks or seeps in 
the cover and all cover penetrations. Thus, the owner or operator must 
monitor any openings that are within an area of the landfill where waste 
has been placed and a gas collection system is required. The owner or 
operator may establish an alternative traversing pattern that ensures 
equivalent coverage. A surface monitoring design plan must be developed 
that includes a topographical map with the monitoring route and the 
rationale for any site-specific deviations from the 30-meter intervals. 
Areas with steep slopes or other dangerous areas may be excluded from 
the surface testing.
    (e) Operate the system such that all collected gases are vented to a 
control system designed and operated in compliance with Sec.
62.16714(c). In the event the collection or control system is not 
operating, the gas mover system must be shut down and all valves in the 
collection and control system contributing to venting of the gas to the 
atmosphere must be closed within 1 hour of the collection or control 
system not operating.
    (f) Operate the control system at all times when the collected gas 
is routed to the system.
    (g) If monitoring demonstrates that the operational requirements in 
paragraphs (b), (c), or (d) of this section are not met, corrective 
action must be taken as specified in Sec.62.16720(a)(3) and (5) or 
Sec.62.16720(c). If corrective actions are taken as specified in Sec.
62.16720, the monitored exceedance is not a violation of the operational 
requirements in this section.



Sec.62.16718  Test methods and procedures.

    Calculate the landfill NMOC emission rate and conduct a surface 
emission monitoring demonstration according to the provisions in this 
section.
    (a)(1) NMOC Emission rate. The landfill owner or operator must 
calculate the NMOC emission rate using either Equation 1 provided in 
paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section or Equation 2 provided in paragraph 
(a)(1)(ii) of this section. Both Equation 1 and Equation 2 may be used 
if the actual year-to-year solid waste acceptance rate is known, as 
specified in paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section, for part of the life 
of the landfill and the actual year-to-year solid waste acceptance rate 
is

[[Page 617]]

unknown, as specified in paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section, for part 
of the life of the landfill. The values to be used in both Equation 1 
and Equation 2 are 0.05 per year for k, 170 cubic meters per megagram 
for Lo, and 4,000 parts per million by volume as hexane for the 
CNMOC. For landfills located in geographical areas with a 30-
year annual average precipitation of less than 25 inches, as measured at 
the nearest representative official meteorological site, the k value to 
be used is 0.02 per year.
    (i)(A) Equation 1 must be used if the actual year-to-year solid 
waste acceptance rate is known.
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR21MY21.004

Where:

MNMOC = Total NMOC emission rate from the landfill, megagrams 
          per year.
k = Methane generation rate constant, year-\1\.
Lo = Methane generation potential, cubic meters per megagram 
          solid waste.
Mi = Mass of solid waste in the ith section, 
          megagrams.
ti = Age of the ith section, years.
CNMOC = Concentration of NMOC, parts per million by volume as 
          hexane.
3.6 x 10-\9\ = Conversion factor.

    (B) The mass of nondegradable solid waste may be subtracted from the 
total mass of solid waste in a particular section of the landfill when 
calculating the value for Mi if documentation of the nature 
and amount of such wastes is maintained.
    (ii)(A) Equation 2 must be used if the actual year-to-year solid 
waste acceptance rate is unknown.
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR21MY21.005

Where:

MNMOC = Mass emission rate of NMOC, megagrams per year.
Lo = Methane generation potential, cubic meters per megagram 
          solid waste.
R = Average annual acceptance rate, megagrams per year.
k = Methane generation rate constant, year -\1\.
t = Age of landfill, years.
CNMOC = Concentration of NMOC, parts per million by volume as 
          hexane.
c = Time since closure, years; for an active landfill c = 0 and 
          e-\kc\ = 1.
3.6 x 10-\9\ = Conversion factor.

    (B) The mass of nondegradable solid waste may be subtracted from the 
total mass of solid waste in a particular section of the landfill when 
calculating the value of R, if documentation of the nature and amount of 
such wastes is maintained.
    (2) Tier 1. The owner or operator must compare the calculated NMOC 
mass emission rate to the standard of 34 megagrams per year.
    (i) If the NMOC emission rate calculated in paragraph (a)(1) of this 
section is less than 34 megagrams per year, then the owner or operator 
must submit an NMOC emission rate report according to Sec.62.16724(c) 
and must recalculate the NMOC mass emission rate annually as required 
under Sec.62.16714(e).
    (ii) If the NMOC emission rate calculated in paragraph (a)(1) of 
this section is equal to or greater than 34 megagrams per year, then the 
landfill owner or operator must either:
    (A) Submit a gas collection and control system design plan within 1 
year as specified in Sec.62.16724(d) and install and operate a gas 
collection and control system within 30 months according to Sec.
62.16714(b) and (c);
    (B) Determine a site-specific NMOC concentration and recalculate the 
NMOC emission rate using the Tier 2 procedures provided in paragraph 
(a)(3) of this section; or

[[Page 618]]

    (C) Determine a site-specific methane generation rate constant and 
recalculate the NMOC emission rate using the Tier 3 procedures provided 
in paragraph (a)(4) of this section.
    (3) Tier 2. The landfill owner or operator must determine the site-
specific NMOC concentration using the following sampling procedure. The 
landfill owner or operator must install at least two sample probes per 
hectare, evenly distributed over the landfill surface that has retained 
waste for at least 2 years. If the landfill is larger than 25 hectares 
in area, only 50 samples are required. The probes should be evenly 
distributed across the sample area. The sample probes should be located 
to avoid known areas of nondegradable solid waste. The owner or operator 
must collect and analyze one sample of landfill gas from each probe to 
determine the NMOC concentration using EPA Method 25 or 25C of appendix 
A-7 of 40 CFR part 60. Taking composite samples from different probes 
into a single cylinder is allowed; however, equal sample volumes must be 
taken from each probe. For each composite, the sampling rate, collection 
times, beginning and ending cylinder vacuums, or alternative volume 
measurements must be recorded to verify that composite volumes are 
equal. Composite sample volumes should not be less than one liter unless 
evidence can be provided to substantiate the accuracy of smaller 
volumes. Terminate compositing before the cylinder approaches ambient 
pressure where measurement accuracy diminishes. If more than the 
required number of samples is taken, all samples must be used in the 
analysis. The landfill owner or operator must divide the NMOC 
concentration from EPA Method 25 or 25C of appendix A-7 of 40 CFR part 
60 by 6 to convert from CNMOC as carbon to CNMOC 
as hexane. If the landfill has an active or passive gas removal system 
in place, EPA Method 25 or 25C samples may be collected from these 
systems instead of surface probes provided the removal system can be 
shown to provide sampling as representative as the two sampling probes 
per hectare requirement. For active collection systems, samples may be 
collected from the common header pipe. The sample location on the common 
header pipe must be before any gas moving, condensate removal, or 
treatment system equipment. For active collection systems, a minimum of 
three samples must be collected from the header pipe.
    (i) Within 60 days after the date of determining the NMOC 
concentration and corresponding NMOC emission rate, the owner or 
operator must submit the results according to Sec.62.16724(j)(2).
    (ii) The landfill owner or operator must recalculate the NMOC mass 
emission rate using Equation 1 or Equation 2 provided in paragraph 
(a)(1)(i) or (ii) of this section using the average site-specific NMOC 
concentration from the collected samples instead of the default value 
provided in paragraph (a)(1) of this section.
    (iii) If the resulting NMOC mass emission rate is less than 34 
megagrams per year, then the owner or operator must submit a periodic 
estimate of NMOC emissions in an NMOC emission rate report according to 
Sec.62.16724(c) and must recalculate the NMOC mass emission rate 
annually as required under Sec.62.16714(e). The site-specific NMOC 
concentration must be retested every 5 years using the methods specified 
in this section.
    (iv) If the NMOC mass emission rate as calculated using the Tier 2 
site-specific NMOC concentration is equal to or greater than 34 
megagrams per year, the owner or operator must either:
    (A) Submit a gas collection and control system design plan within 1 
year as specified in Sec.62.16724(d) and install and operate a gas 
collection and control system within 30 months according to Sec.
62.16714(b) and (c);
    (B) Determine a site-specific methane generation rate constant and 
recalculate the NMOC emission rate using the site-specific methane 
generation rate using the Tier 3 procedures specified in paragraph 
(a)(4) of this section; or
    (C) Conduct a surface emission monitoring demonstration using the 
Tier 4 procedures specified in paragraph (a)(6) of this section.
    (4) Tier 3. The site-specific methane generation rate constant must 
be determined using the procedures provided in EPA Method 2E of appendix 
A-1 of 40

[[Page 619]]

CFR part 60. The landfill owner or operator must estimate the NMOC mass 
emission rate using Equation 1 or Equation 2 in paragraph (a)(1)(i) or 
(ii) of this section and using a site-specific methane generation rate 
constant, and the site-specific NMOC concentration as determined in 
paragraph (a)(3) of this section instead of the default values provided 
in paragraph (a)(1) of this section. The landfill owner or operator must 
compare the resulting NMOC mass emission rate to the standard of 34 
megagrams per year.
    (i) If the NMOC mass emission rate as calculated using the Tier 2 
site-specific NMOC concentration and Tier 3 site-specific methane 
generation rate is equal to or greater than 34 megagrams per year, the 
owner or operator must either:
    (A) Submit a gas collection and control system design plan within 1 
year as specified in Sec.62.16724(d) and install and operate a gas 
collection and control system within 30 months according to Sec.
62.16714(b) and (c); or
    (B) Conduct a surface emission monitoring demonstration using the 
Tier 4 procedures specified in paragraph (a)(6) of this section.
    (ii) If the NMOC mass emission rate is less than 34 megagrams per 
year, then the owner or operator must recalculate the NMOC mass emission 
rate annually using Equation 1 or Equation 2 in paragraph (a)(1) of this 
section and using the site-specific Tier 2 NMOC concentration and Tier 3 
methane generation rate constant and submit a periodic NMOC emission 
rate report as provided in Sec.62.16724(c). The calculation of the 
methane generation rate constant is performed only once, and the value 
obtained from this test must be used in all subsequent annual NMOC 
emission rate calculations.
    (5) Alternative methods. The owner or operator may use other methods 
to determine the NMOC concentration or a site-specific methane 
generation rate constant as an alternative to the methods required in 
paragraphs (a)(3) and (4) of this section if the method has been 
approved by the Administrator.
    (6) Tier 4. Demonstrate that surface methane emissions are below 500 
parts per million. Surface emission monitoring must be conducted on a 
quarterly basis using the following procedures. Tier 4 is allowed only 
if the landfill owner or operator can demonstrate that NMOC emissions 
are greater than or equal to 34 megagrams per year but less than 50 
megagrams per year using Tier 1 or Tier 2. If both Tier 1 and Tier 2 
indicate NMOC emissions are megagrams per year or greater, then Tier 4 
cannot be used. In addition, the landfill must meet the criteria in 
paragraph (a)(6)(viii) of this section.
    (i) Measure surface concentrations of methane along the entire 
perimeter of the landfill and along a pattern that traverses the 
landfill at no more than 30-meter intervals using an organic vapor 
analyzer, flame ionization detector, or other portable monitor meeting 
the specifications provided in Sec.62.16720(d).
    (ii) The background concentration must be determined by moving the 
probe inlet upwind and downwind at least 30 meters from the waste mass 
boundary of the landfill.
    (iii) Surface emission monitoring must be performed in accordance 
with section 8.3.1 of EPA Method 21 of appendix A-7 of 40 CFR part 60, 
except that the probe inlet must be placed no more than 5 centimeters 
above the landfill surface; the constant measurement of distance above 
the surface should be based on a mechanical device such as with a wheel 
on a pole.
    (A) The owner or operator must use a wind barrier, similar to a 
funnel, when onsite average wind speed exceeds 4 miles per hour or 2 
meters per second or gust exceeding 10 miles per hour. Average on-site 
wind speed must also be determined in an open area at 5-minute intervals 
using an on-site anemometer with a continuous recorder and data logger 
for the entire duration of the monitoring event. The wind barrier must 
surround the SEM monitor, and must be placed on the ground, to ensure 
wind turbulence is blocked. The SEM cannot be conducted if average wind 
speed exceeds 25 miles per hour.
    (B) Landfill surface areas where visual observations indicate 
elevated concentrations of landfill gas, such as distressed vegetation 
and cracks or seeps in the cover, and all cover penetrations must also 
be monitored using a device

[[Page 620]]

meeting the specifications provided in Sec.62.16720(d).
    (iv) Each owner or operator seeking to comply with the Tier 4 
provisions in paragraph (a)(6) of this section must maintain records of 
surface emission monitoring as provided in Sec.62.16726(g) and submit 
a Tier 4 surface emissions report as provided in Sec.
62.16724(d)(4)(iii).
    (v) If there is any measured concentration of methane of 500 parts 
per million or greater from the surface of the landfill, the owner or 
operator must submit a gas collection and control system design plan 
within 1 year of the first measured concentration of methane of 500 
parts per million or greater from the surface of the landfill according 
to Sec.62.16724(d) and install and operate a gas collection and 
control system according to Sec.62.16714(b) and (c) within 30 months 
of the most recent NMOC emission rate report in which the NMOC emission 
rate equals or exceeds 34 megagrams per year based on Tier 2.
    (vi) If after four consecutive quarterly monitoring periods at a 
landfill, other than a closed landfill, there is no measured 
concentration of methane of 500 parts per million or greater from the 
surface of the landfill, the owner or operator must continue quarterly 
surface emission monitoring using the methods specified in this section.
    (vii) If after four consecutive quarterly monitoring periods at a 
closed landfill there is no measured concentration of methane of 500 
parts per million or greater from the surface of the landfill, the owner 
or operator must conduct annual surface emission monitoring using the 
methods specified in this section.
    (viii) If a landfill has installed and operates a collection and 
control system that is not required by this subpart, then the collection 
and control system must meet the following criteria:
    (A) The gas collection and control system must have operated for at 
least 6,570 out of 8,760 hours preceding the Tier 4 SEM demonstration.
    (B) During the Tier 4 SEM demonstration, the gas collection and 
control system must operate as it normally would to collect and control 
as much landfill gas as possible.
    (b) After the installation and startup of a collection and control 
system in compliance with this subpart, the owner or operator must 
calculate the NMOC emission rate for purposes of determining when the 
system can be capped, removed, or decommissioned as provided in Sec.
62.16714(f), using Equation 3:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR21MY21.006

Where:

MNMOC = Mass emission rate of NMOC, megagrams per year.
QLFG = Flow rate of landfill gas, cubic meters per minute.
CNMOC = NMOC concentration, parts per million by volume as 
          hexane.

    (1) Flow rate. The flow rate of landfill gas, QLFG, must 
be determined by measuring the total landfill gas flow rate at the 
common header pipe that leads to the control system using a gas flow 
measuring device calibrated according to the provisions of section 10 of 
EPA Method 2E of appendix A-1 of 40 CFR part 60.
    (2) NMOC concentration. The average NMOC concentration, 
CNMOC, must be determined by collecting and analyzing 
landfill gas sampled from the common header pipe before the gas moving 
or condensate removal equipment using the procedures in EPA Method 25 or 
EPA Method 25C of appendix A-7 of 40 CFR part 60. The sample location on 
the common header pipe must be before any condensate removal or other 
gas refining units. The landfill owner or operator must divide the NMOC 
concentration from EPA Method 25 or EPA Method 25C of appendix A-7 of 40 
CFR part 60 by six to convert from CNMOC as carbon to 
CNMOC as hexane.
    (3) Gas flow rate method. The owner or operator may use another 
method to determine landfill gas flow rate and

[[Page 621]]

NMOC concentration if the method has been approved by the Administrator.
    (i) Within 60 days after the date of calculating the NMOC emission 
rate for purposes of determining when the system can be capped or 
removed, the owner or operator must submit the results according to 
Sec.62.16724(j)(2).
    (ii) [Reserved]
    (c) When calculating emissions for Prevention of Significant 
Deterioration purposes, the owner or operator of each MSW landfill 
subject to the provisions of this subpart must estimate the NMOC 
emission rate for comparison to the Prevention of Significant 
Deterioration major source and significance levels in Sec. Sec.51.166 
or 52.21 of this chapter using Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission 
Factors, Volume I: Stationary Point and Area Sources (AP-42) or other 
approved measurement procedures.
    (d) For the performance test required in Sec.62.16714(c)(1), the 
net heating value of the combusted landfill gas as determined in 40 CFR 
60.18(f)(3) of this chapter is calculated from the concentration of 
methane in the landfill gas as measured by EPA Method 3C. A minimum of 
three 30-minute EPA Method 3C samples are determined. The measurement of 
other organic components, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide is not 
applicable. EPA Method 3C may be used to determine the landfill gas 
molecular weight for calculating the flare gas exit velocity under 40 
CFR 60.18(f)(4) of this chapter.
    (1) Performance test results. Within 60 days after the date of 
completing each performance test (as defined in Sec.60.8 of this 
chapter), the owner or operator must submit the results of the 
performance tests required by paragraph (b) or (d) of this section, 
including any associated fuel analyses, according to Sec.
62.16724(j)(1).
    (2) [Reserved]
    (e) For the performance test required in Sec.62.16714(c)(2), EPA 
Method 25 or 25C (EPA Method 25C may be used at the inlet only) of 
appendix A-7 of 40 CFR part 60 must be used to determine compliance with 
the 98 weight-percent efficiency or the 20 parts-per-million by volume 
outlet NMOC concentration level, unless another method to demonstrate 
compliance has been approved by the Administrator as provided by Sec.
62.16724(d)(2). EPA Method 3, 3A, or 3C of appendix A-2 of 40 CFR part 
60 must be used to determine oxygen for correcting the NMOC 
concentration as hexane to 3 percent. In cases where the outlet 
concentration is less than 50 parts-per-million NMOC as carbon (8 parts-
per-million NMOC as hexane), EPA Method 25A should be used in place of 
EPA Method 25. EPA Method 18 of appendix A-6 of 40 CFR part 60 may be 
used in conjunction with EPA Method 25A on a limited basis (compound 
specific, e.g., methane) or EPA Method 3C may be used to determine 
methane. The methane as carbon should be subtracted from the EPA Method 
25A total hydrocarbon value as carbon to give NMOC concentration as 
carbon. The landfill owner or operator must divide the NMOC 
concentration as carbon by 6 to convert the CNMOC as carbon 
to CNMOC as hexane. Equation 4 must be used to calculate 
efficiency:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR21MY21.007

Where:

NMOCin = Mass of NMOC entering control device.
NMOCout = Mass of NMOC exiting control device.

    (1) Performance test submission. Within 60 days after the date of 
completing each performance test (as defined inSec.60.8 of this 
chapter), the owner or operator must submit the results of the 
performance tests, including any associated fuel analyses, according to 
Sec.62.16724(j)(1).
    (2) [Reserved]



Sec.62.16720  Compliance provisions.

    Follow the compliance provisions in this section (as well as the 
provisions in Sec. Sec.62.16716 and 62.16722), or the compliance 
provisions in Sec.63.1960 of this chapter (as well as the provisions 
in Sec. Sec.63.1958 and 63.1961 of this chapter), or

[[Page 622]]

both as alternative means of compliance, for an MSW landfill with a gas 
collection and control system used to comply with the provisions of 
Sec.62.16714(b) and (c). Once the owner or operator begins to comply 
with the provisions of Sec.63.1960 of this chapter, the owner or 
operator must continue to operate the collection and control device 
according to those provisions and cannot return to the provisions of 
this section.
    (a) Except as provided in Sec.62.16724(d)(2), the specified 
methods in paragraphs (a)(1) through (6) of this section must be used to 
determine whether the gas collection system is in compliance with Sec.
62.16714(b)(2).
    (1) For the purposes of calculating the maximum expected gas 
generation flow rate from the landfill to determine compliance with 
Sec.62.16714(b)(2)(i), either Equation 5 or Equation 6 must be used. 
The methane generation rate constant (k) and methane generation 
potential (Lo) kinetic factors should be those published in the most 
recent AP-42 or other site-specific values demonstrated to be 
appropriate and approved by the Administrator. If k has been determined 
as specified in Sec.62.16718(a)(4), the value of k determined from the 
test must be used. A value of no more than 15 years must be used for the 
intended use period of the gas mover equipment. The active life of the 
landfill is the age of the landfill plus the estimated number of years 
until closure.
    (i) For sites with unknown year-to-year solid waste acceptance rate:
    [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR21MY21.008
    
Where:

Qm = Maximum expected gas generation flow rate, cubic meters 
          per year.
Lo = Methane generation potential, cubic meters per megagram 
          solid waste.
R = Average annual acceptance rate, megagrams per year.
k = Methane generation rate constant, year-1.
t = Age of the landfill at equipment installation plus the time the 
          owner or operator intends to use the gas mover equipment or 
          active life of the landfill, whichever is less. If the 
          equipment is installed after closure, t is the age of the 
          landfill at installation, years.
c = Time since closure, years (for an active landfill c = 0 and 
          e-\kc\ = 1).

    (ii) For sites with known year-to-year solid waste acceptance rate:
    [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR21MY21.009
    
Where:

QM = Maximum expected gas generation flow rate, cubic meters 
          per year.
k = Methane generation rate constant, year-1.
Lo = Methane generation potential, cubic meters per megagram 
          solid waste.
Mi = Mass of solid waste in the ith section, 
          megagrams.
ti = Age of the ith section, years.

    (iii) If a collection and control system has been installed, actual 
flow data may be used to project the maximum expected gas generation 
flow rate instead of, or in conjunction with, Equation 5 or Equation 6 
in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (ii) of this section. If the landfill is 
still accepting waste, the actual measured flow data will not equal the 
maximum expected gas generation rate, so calculations using Equation 5 
or Equation 6 in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) or (ii) of this section or other 
methods must be used to predict the maximum expected gas generation rate 
over the intended period of use of the gas control system equipment.

[[Page 623]]

    (2) For the purposes of determining sufficient density of gas 
collectors for compliance with Sec.62.16714(b)(2)(ii), the owner or 
operator must design a system of vertical wells, horizontal collectors, 
or other collection devices, satisfactory to the Administrator, capable 
of controlling and extracting gas from all portions of the landfill 
sufficient to meet all operational and performance standards.
    (3) For the purpose of demonstrating whether the gas collection 
system flow rate is sufficient to determine compliance with Sec.
62.16714(b)(2)(iii), the owner or operator must measure gauge pressure 
in the gas collection header applied to each individual well monthly. If 
a positive pressure exists, action must be initiated to correct the 
exceedance within 5 calendar days, except for the three conditions 
allowed under Sec.62.16716(b). Any attempted corrective measure must 
not cause exceedances of other operational or performance standards.
    (i) If negative pressure cannot be achieved without excess air 
infiltration within 15 calendar days of the first measurement of 
positive pressure, the owner or operator must conduct a root cause 
analysis and correct the exceedance as soon as practicable, but not 
later than 60 days after positive pressure was first measured. The owner 
or operator must keep records according to Sec.62.16726(e)(3).
    (ii) If corrective actions cannot be fully implemented within 60 
days following the positive pressure or elevated temperature measurement 
for which the root cause analysis was required, the owner or operator 
must also conduct a corrective action analysis and develop an 
implementation schedule to complete the corrective action(s) as soon as 
practicable, but no more than 120 days following the measurement of 
landfill gas temperature greater than 55 degrees Celsius (131 degrees 
Fahrenheit) or positive pressure. The owner or operator must submit the 
items listed in Sec.62.16724(h)(7) as part of the next annual report. 
The owner or operator must keep records according to Sec.
62.16726(e)(4).
    (iii) If corrective action is expected to take longer than 120 days 
to complete after the initial exceedance, the owner or operator must 
submit the root cause analysis, corrective action analysis, and 
corresponding implementation timeline to the Administrator, according to 
Sec.62.16724(h)(7) and (k). The owner or operator must keep records 
according to Sec.62.16726(e)(5).
    (4) For the purpose of identifying whether excess air infiltration 
into the landfill is occurring, the owner or operator must monitor each 
well monthly for temperature as provided in Sec.62.16716(c). If a well 
exceeds the operating parameter for temperature, action must be 
initiated to correct the exceedance within 5 calendar days. Any 
attempted corrective measure must not cause exceedances of other 
operational or performance standards.
    (i) If a landfill gas temperature less than 55 degrees Celsius (131 
degrees Fahrenheit) cannot be achieved within 15 calendar days of the 
first measurement of landfill gas temperature greater than 55 degrees 
Celsius (131 degrees Fahrenheit), the owner or operator must conduct a 
root cause analysis and correct the exceedance as soon as practicable, 
but no later than 60 days after a landfill gas temperature greater than 
55 degrees Celsius (131 degrees Fahrenheit) was first measured. The 
owner or operator must keep records according to Sec.62.16726(e)(3).
    (ii) If corrective actions cannot be fully implemented within 60 
days following the measurement of landfill gas temperature greater than 
55 degrees Celsius (131 degrees Fahrenheit) for which the root cause 
analysis was required, the owner or operator must also conduct a 
corrective action analysis and develop an implementation schedule to 
complete the corrective action(s) as soon as practicable, but no more 
than 120 days following the measurement of landfill gas temperature 
greater than 55 degrees Celsius (131 degrees Fahrenheit). The owner or 
operator must submit the items listed in Sec.62.16724(h)(7) as part of 
the next annual report. The owner or operator must keep records 
according to Sec.62.16726(e)(4).
    (iii) If corrective action is expected to take longer than 120 days 
to complete after the initial exceedance, the owner or operator must 
submit the root cause analysis, corrective action

[[Page 624]]

analysis, and corresponding implementation timeline to the 
Administrator, according to Sec.62.16724(h)(7) and Sec.62.16724(k). 
The owner or operator must keep records according to Sec.
62.16726(e)(5).
    (5) An owner or operator seeking to demonstrate compliance with 
Sec.62.16714(b)(2)(iv) through the use of a collection system not 
conforming to the specifications provided in Sec.62.16728 must provide 
information satisfactory to the Administrator as specified in Sec.
62.16724(d)(3) demonstrating that off-site migration is being 
controlled.
    (b) For purposes of compliance with Sec.62.16716(a), each owner or 
operator of a controlled landfill must place each well or design 
component as specified in the approved design plan as provided in Sec.
62.16724(d). Each well must be installed no later than 60 days after the 
date on which the initial solid waste has been in place for a period of:
    (1) 5 years or more if active; or
    (2) 2 years or more if closed or at final grade.
    (c) The following procedures must be used for compliance with the 
surface methane operational standard as provided in Sec.62.16716(d):
    (1) After installation and startup of the gas collection system, the 
owner or operator must monitor surface concentrations of methane along 
the entire perimeter of the collection area and along a pattern that 
traverses the landfill at no more than 30-meter intervals (or a site-
specific established spacing) for each collection area on a quarterly 
basis using an organic vapor analyzer, flame ionization detector, or 
other portable monitor meeting the specifications provided in paragraph 
(d) of this section.
    (2) The background concentration must be determined by moving the 
probe inlet upwind and downwind outside the boundary of the landfill at 
a distance of at least 30 meters from the perimeter wells.
    (3) Surface emission monitoring must be performed in accordance with 
section 8.3.1 of EPA Method 21 of appendix A-7 of 40 CFR part 60, except 
that the probe inlet must be placed within 5 to 10 centimeters of the 
ground. Monitoring must be performed during typical meteorological 
conditions.
    (4) Any reading of 500 parts per million or more above background at 
any location must be recorded as a monitored exceedance and the actions 
specified in paragraphs (c)(4)(i) through (v) of this section must be 
taken. As long as the specified actions are taken, the exceedance is not 
a violation of the operational requirements of Sec.62.16716(d).
    (i) The location of each monitored exceedance must be marked, and 
the location and concentration recorded. For location, you must 
determine the latitude and longitude coordinates using an instrument 
with an accuracy of at least 4 meters. The coordinates must be in 
decimal degrees with at least five decimal places.
    (ii) Cover maintenance or adjustments to the vacuum of the adjacent 
wells to increase the gas collection in the vicinity of each exceedance 
must be made and the location must be re-monitored within 10 calendar 
days of detecting the exceedance.
    (iii) If the re-monitoring of the location shows a second 
exceedance, additional corrective action must be taken, and the location 
must be monitored again within 10 days of the second exceedance. If the 
re-monitoring shows a third exceedance for the same location, the action 
specified in paragraph (c)(4)(v) of this section must be taken, and no 
further monitoring of that location is required until the action 
specified in paragraph (c)(4)(v) of this section has been taken.
    (iv) Any location that initially showed an exceedance but has a 
methane concentration less than 500 parts-per-million methane above 
background at the 10-day re-monitoring specified in paragraph (c)(4)(ii) 
or (iii) of this section must be re-monitored 1 month from the initial 
exceedance. If the 1-month re-monitoring shows a concentration less than 
500 parts-per-million above background, no further monitoring of that 
location is required until the next quarterly monitoring period. If the 
1-month re-monitoring shows an exceedance, the actions specified in 
paragraph (c)(4)(iii) or (v) of this section must be taken.

[[Page 625]]

    (v) For any location where monitored methane concentration equals or 
exceeds 500 parts-per-million above background three times within a 
quarterly period, a new well or other collection device must be 
installed within 120 calendar days of the initial exceedance. An 
alternative remedy to the exceedance, such as upgrading the blower, 
header pipes or control device, and a corresponding timeline for 
installation may be submitted to the Administrator for approval.
    (5) The owner or operator must implement a program to monitor for 
cover integrity and implement cover repairs as necessary on a monthly 
basis.
    (d) Each owner or operator seeking to comply with the provisions in 
paragraph (c) of this section or Sec.62.16718(a)(6) must comply with 
the following instrumentation specifications and procedures for surface 
emission monitoring devices:
    (1) The portable analyzer must meet the instrument specifications 
provided in section 6 of EPA Method 21 of appendix A-7 of 40 CFR part 
60, except that ``methane'' replaces all references to ``VOC.''
    (2) The calibration gas must be methane, diluted to a nominal 
concentration of 500 parts-per-million in air.
    (3) To meet the performance evaluation requirements in section 8.1 
of EPA Method 21 of appendix A-7 of 40 CFR part 60, the instrument 
evaluation procedures of section 8.1 of EPA Method 21 of appendix A-7 of 
40 CFR part 60 must be used.
    (4) The calibration procedures provided in sections 8 and 10 of EPA 
Method 21 of appendix A-7 of 40 CFR part 60 must be followed immediately 
before commencing a surface monitoring survey.
    (e) The provisions of this subpart apply at all times, including 
periods of startup, shutdown, or malfunction. During periods of startup, 
shutdown, and malfunction, you must comply with the work practice 
specified in Sec.62.16716(e) in lieu of the compliance provisions in 
Sec.62.16720.



Sec.62.16722  Monitoring of operations.

    Follow the monitoring provisions in this section (as well as the 
provisions in Sec. Sec.62.16716 and 62.16720), except as provided in 
Sec.62.16724(d)(2), or the monitoring provisions in Sec.63.1961 of 
this chapter (as well as the provisions in Sec. Sec.63.1958 and 
63.1960 of this chapter), or both as alternative means of compliance, 
for an MSW landfill with a gas collection and control system used to 
comply with the provisions of Sec.62.16714(b) and (c). Once the owner 
or operator begins to comply with the provisions of Sec.63.1961 of 
this chapter, the owner or operator must continue to operate the 
collection and control device according to those provisions and cannot 
return to the provisions of this section.
    (a) Each owner or operator seeking to comply with Sec.
62.16714(b)(2) for an active gas collection system must install a 
sampling port and a thermometer, other temperature measuring device, or 
an access port for temperature measurements at each wellhead and:
    (1) Measure the gauge pressure in the gas collection header on a 
monthly basis as provided in Sec.62.16720(a)(3); and
    (2) Monitor nitrogen or oxygen concentration in the landfill gas on 
a monthly basis as follows:
    (i) The nitrogen level must be determined using EPA Method 3C of 
appendix A-2 of 40 CFR part 60, unless an alternative test method is 
established as allowed by Sec.62.16724(d)(2).
    (ii) Unless an alternative test method is established as allowed by 
Sec.62.16724(d)(2), the oxygen level must be determined by an oxygen 
meter using EPA Method 3A of appendix A-7 of 40 CFR part 60, EPA Method 
3C of appendix A-7 of 40 CFR part 60, or ASTM D6522-11. Determine the 
oxygen level by an oxygen meter using EPA Method 3A, 3C, or ASTM D6522-
11 (if sample location is prior to combustion) except that:
    (A) The span must be set between 10- and 12-percent oxygen;
    (B) A data recorder is not required;
    (C) Only two calibration gases are required, a zero and span;
    (D) A calibration error check is not required;
    (E) The allowable sample bias, zero drift, and calibration drift are 
10 percent.

[[Page 626]]

    (iii) A portable gas composition analyzer may be used to monitor the 
oxygen levels provided:
    (A) The analyzer is calibrated; and
    (B) The analyzer meets all quality assurance and quality control 
requirements for EPA Method 3A or ASTM D6522-11.
    (3) Monitor temperature of the landfill gas on a monthly basis as 
provided in Sec.62.16720(a)(4). The temperature measuring device must 
be calibrated annually using the procedure in 40 CFR part 60, appendix 
A-1, EPA Method 2, section 10.3.
    (b) Each owner or operator seeking to comply with Sec.62.16714(c) 
using an enclosed combustor must calibrate, maintain, and operate 
according to the manufacturer's specifications, the following equipment:
    (1) A temperature monitoring device equipped with a continuous 
recorder and having a minimum accuracy of 1 
percent of the temperature being measured expressed in degrees Celsius 
or 0.5 degrees Celsius, whichever is greater. A 
temperature monitoring device is not required for boilers or process 
heaters with design heat input capacity equal to or greater than 44 
megawatts.
    (2) A device that records flow to the control device and bypass of 
the control device (if applicable). The owner or operator must:
    (i) Install, calibrate, and maintain a gas flow rate measuring 
device that must record the flow to the control device at least every 15 
minutes; and
    (ii) Secure the bypass line valve in the closed position with a car-
seal or a lock-and-key type configuration. A visual inspection of the 
seal or closure mechanism must be performed at least once every month to 
ensure that the valve is maintained in the closed position and that the 
gas flow is not diverted through the bypass line.
    (c) Each owner or operator seeking to comply with Sec.62.16714(c) 
using a non-enclosed flare must install, calibrate, maintain, and 
operate according to the manufacturer's specifications the following 
equipment:
    (1) A heat sensing device, such as an ultraviolet beam sensor or 
thermocouple, at the pilot light or the flame itself to indicate the 
continuous presence of a flame.
    (2) A device that records flow to the flare and bypass of the flare 
(if applicable). The owner or operator must:
    (i) Install, calibrate, and maintain a gas flow rate measuring 
device that records the flow to the control device at least every 15 
minutes; and
    (ii) Secure the bypass line valve in the closed position with a car-
seal or a lock-and-key type configuration. A visual inspection of the 
seal or closure mechanism must be performed at least once every month to 
ensure that the valve is maintained in the closed position and that the 
gas flow is not diverted through the bypass line.
    (d) Each owner or operator seeking to demonstrate compliance with 
Sec.62.16714(c) using a device other than a non-enclosed flare or an 
enclosed combustor or a treatment system must provide information 
satisfactory to the Administrator as provided in Sec.62.16724(d)(2) 
describing the operation of the control device, the operating parameters 
that would indicate proper performance, and appropriate monitoring 
procedures. The Administrator must review the information and either 
approve it, or request that additional information be submitted. The 
Administrator may specify additional appropriate monitoring procedures.
    (e) Each owner or operator seeking to install a collection system 
that does not meet the specifications in Sec.62.16728 or seeking to 
monitor alternative parameters to those required by Sec.62.16716 
through Sec.62.16722 must provide information satisfactory to the 
Administrator as provided in Sec.62.16724(d)(2) and (3) describing the 
design and operation of the collection system, the operating parameters 
that would indicate proper performance, and appropriate monitoring 
procedures. The Administrator may specify additional appropriate 
monitoring procedures.
    (f) Each owner or operator seeking to demonstrate compliance with 
the 500 parts-per-million surface methane operational standard in Sec.
62.16716(d) must monitor surface concentrations of methane according to 
the procedures provided in Sec.62.16720(c) and the instrument 
specifications in Sec.62.16720(d). Any closed landfill that has no 
monitored exceedances of the operational standard in three consecutive 
quarterly

[[Page 627]]

monitoring periods may skip to annual monitoring. Any methane reading of 
500 parts-per-million or more above background detected during the 
annual monitoring returns the frequency for that landfill to quarterly 
monitoring.
    (g) Each owner or operator seeking to demonstrate compliance with 
the control system requirements in Sec.62.16714(c) using a landfill 
gas treatment system must maintain and operate all monitoring systems 
associated with the treatment system in accordance with the site-
specific treatment system monitoring plan required in Sec.
62.16726(b)(5)(ii) and must calibrate, maintain, and operate according 
to the manufacturer's specifications a device that records flow to the 
treatment system and bypass of the treatment system (if applicable). The 
owner or operator must:
    (1) Install, calibrate, and maintain a gas flow rate measuring 
device that records the flow to the treatment system at least every 15 
minutes; and
    (2) Secure the bypass line valve in the closed position with a car-
seal or a lock-and-key type configuration. A visual inspection of the 
seal or closure mechanism must be performed at least once every month to 
ensure that the valve is maintained in the closed position and that the 
gas flow is not diverted through the bypass line.
    (h) The monitoring requirements of paragraphs (b), (c), (d), and (g) 
of this section apply at all times the designated facility is operating, 
except for periods of monitoring system malfunctions, repairs associated 
with monitoring system malfunctions, and required monitoring system 
quality assurance or quality control activities. A monitoring system 
malfunction is any sudden, infrequent, not reasonably preventable 
failure of the monitoring system to provide valid data. Monitoring 
system failures that are caused in part by poor maintenance or careless 
operation are not malfunctions. You are required to complete monitoring 
system repairs in response to monitoring system malfunctions and to 
return the monitoring system to operation as expeditiously as 
practicable.

Sec.62.16724  Reporting guidelines.

    Follow the reporting provisions listed in this section, as 
applicable, except as provided under 40 CFR 60.24 and Sec. Sec.
62.16711(g), (h), and 62.16724(d)(2).
    (a) Design capacity report. Submit the initial design capacity 
report no later than September 20, 2021. The initial design capacity 
report must contain the following information:
    (1) A map or plot of the landfill, providing the size and location 
of the landfill, and identifying all areas where solid waste may be 
landfilled according to the permit issued by the state, local, or tribal 
agency responsible for regulating the landfill.
    (2) The maximum design capacity of the landfill. Where the maximum 
design capacity is specified in the permit issued by the state, local, 
or tribal agency responsible for regulating the landfill, a copy of the 
permit specifying the maximum design capacity may be submitted as part 
of the report. If the

[[Page 628]]

maximum design capacity of the landfill is not specified in the permit, 
the maximum design capacity must be calculated using good engineering 
practices. The calculations must be provided, along with the relevant 
parameters as part of the report. The landfill may calculate design 
capacity in either megagrams or cubic meters for comparison with the 
exemption values. If the owner or operator chooses to convert the design 
capacity from volume to mass or from mass to volume to demonstrate its 
design capacity is less than 2.5 million megagrams or 2.5 million cubic 
meters, the calculation must include a site-specific density, which must 
be recalculated annually. Any density conversions must be documented and 
submitted with the design capacity report. The state, local, or tribal 
agency or the Administrator may request other reasonable information as 
may be necessary to verify the maximum design capacity of the landfill.
    (b) Amended design capacity report. An amended design capacity 
report must be submitted providing notification of an increase in the 
design capacity of the landfill, within 90 days of an increase in the 
maximum design capacity of the landfill to meet or exceed 2.5 million 
megagrams and 2.5 million cubic meters. This increase in design capacity 
may result from an increase in the permitted volume of the landfill or 
an increase in the density as documented in the annual recalculation 
required in Sec.62.16726(f).
    (c) NMOC emission rate report. For existing MSW landfills covered by 
this subpart with a design capacity equal to or greater than 2.5 million 
megagrams and 2.5 million cubic meters, the NMOC emission rate report 
must be submitted following the procedure specified in paragraph (j)(2) 
of this section no later than 90 days after the effective date of this 
subpart. The NMOC emission rate report must be submitted to the 
Administrator annually following the procedure specified in paragraph 
(j)(2) of this section, except as provided for in paragraph (c)(3) of 
this section. The Administrator may request such additional information 
as may be necessary to verify the reported NMOC emission rate.
    (1) The NMOC emission rate report must contain an annual or 5-year 
estimate of the NMOC emission rate calculated using the formula and 
procedures provided in Sec.62.16718(a) or (b), as applicable.
    (2) The NMOC emission rate report must include all the data, 
calculations, sample reports and measurements used to estimate the 
annual or 5-year emissions.
    (3) If the estimated NMOC emission rate as reported in the annual 
report to the Administrator is less than 34 megagrams per year in each 
of the next 5 consecutive years, the owner or operator may elect to 
submit, following the procedure specified in paragraph (j)(2) of this 
section, an estimate of the NMOC emission rate for the next 5-year 
period in lieu of the annual report. This estimate must include the 
current amount of solid waste-in-place and the estimated waste 
acceptance rate for each year of the 5 years for which an NMOC emission 
rate is estimated. All data and calculations upon which this estimate is 
based must be provided to the Administrator. This estimate must be 
revised at least once every 5 years. If the actual waste acceptance rate 
exceeds the estimated waste acceptance rate in any year reported in the 
5-year estimate, a revised 5-year estimate must be submitted to the 
Administrator. The revised estimate must cover the 5-year period 
beginning with the year in which the actual waste acceptance rate 
exceeded the estimated waste acceptance rate.
    (4) Each owner or operator subject to the requirements of this 
subpart is exempted from the requirements to submit an NMOC emission 
rate report, after installing a collection and control system that 
complies with Sec.62.16714(b) and (c), during such time as the 
collection and control system is in operation and in compliance with 
Sec. Sec.62.16716 and 62.16720.
    (d) Collection and control system design plan. The collection and 
control system design plan must be prepared and approved by a 
professional engineer and must meet the following requirements:
    (1) The collection and control system as described in the design 
plan must meet the design requirements in Sec.62.16714(b) and (c).

[[Page 629]]

    (2) The collection and control system design plan must include any 
alternatives to the operational standards, test methods, procedures, 
compliance measures, monitoring, recordkeeping, or reporting provisions 
of Sec. Sec.62.16716 through 62.16726 proposed by the owner or 
operator.
    (3) The collection and control system design plan must either 
conform to specifications for active collection systems in Sec.
62.16728 or include a demonstration to the Administrator's satisfaction 
of the sufficiency of the alternative provisions to Sec.62.16728.
    (4) Each owner or operator of an MSW landfill having a design 
capacity equal to or greater than 2.5 million megagrams and 2.5 million 
cubic meters must submit a copy of the collection and control system 
design plan cover page that contains the engineer's seal to the 
Administrator within 1 year of the first NMOC emission rate report in 
which the NMOC emission rate equals or exceeds 34 megagrams per year, 
except as follows:
    (i) If the owner or operator elects to recalculate the NMOC emission 
rate after Tier 2 NMOC sampling and analysis as provided in Sec.
62.16718(a)(3) and the resulting rate is less than 34 megagrams per 
year, annual periodic reporting must be resumed, using the Tier 2 
determined site-specific NMOC concentration, until the calculated NMOC 
emission rate is equal to or greater than 34 megagrams per year or the 
landfill is closed. The revised NMOC emission rate report, with the 
recalculated NMOC emission rate based on NMOC sampling and analysis, 
must be submitted, following the procedures in paragraph (j)(2) of this 
section, within 180 days of the first calculated exceedance of 34 
megagrams per year.
    (ii) If the owner or operator elects to recalculate the NMOC 
emission rate after determining a site-specific methane generation rate 
constant k, as provided in Tier 3 in Sec.62.16718(a)(4), and the 
resulting NMOC emission rate is less than 34 megagrams per year, annual 
periodic reporting must be resumed. The resulting site-specific methane 
generation rate constant k must be used in the NMOC emission rate 
calculation until such time as the emissions rate calculation results in 
an exceedance. The revised NMOC emission rate report based on the 
provisions of Sec.62.16718(a)(4) and the resulting site-specific 
methane generation rate constant k must be submitted, following the 
procedure specified in paragraph (j)(2) of this section, to the 
Administrator within 1 year of the first calculated NMOC emission rate 
equaling or exceeding 34 megagrams per year.
    (iii) If the owner or operator elects to demonstrate that site-
specific surface methane emissions are below 500 parts-per-million 
methane, based on the provisions of Sec.62.16718(a)(6), then the owner 
or operator must submit annually a Tier 4 surface emissions report as 
specified in this paragraph following the procedure specified in 
paragraph (j)(2) of this section until a surface emissions reading of 
500 parts-per-million methane or greater is found. If the Tier 4 surface 
emissions report shows no surface emissions readings of 500 parts-per-
million methane or greater for four consecutive quarters at a closed 
landfill, then the landfill owner or operator may reduce Tier 4 
monitoring from a quarterly to an annual frequency. The Administrator 
may request such additional information as may be necessary to verify 
the reported instantaneous surface emission readings. The Tier 4 surface 
emissions report must clearly identify the location, date and time (to 
the nearest second), average wind speeds including wind gusts, and 
reading (in parts-per-million) of any value 500 parts-per-million 
methane or greater, other than non-repeatable, momentary readings. For 
location, you must determine the latitude and longitude coordinates 
using an instrument with an accuracy of at least 4 meters. The 
coordinates must be in decimal degrees with at least five decimal 
places. The Tier 4 surface emission report should also include the 
results of the most recent Tier 1 and Tier 2 results in order to verify 
that the landfill does not exceed 50 megagrams per year of NMOC.
    (A) The initial Tier 4 surface emissions report must be submitted 
annually, starting within 30 days of completing the fourth quarter of 
Tier 4 SEM that demonstrates that site-specific surface methane 
emissions are below 500 parts-per-million methane,

[[Page 630]]

and following the procedure specified in paragraph (j)(2) of this 
section
    (B) The Tier 4 surface emissions rate report must be submitted 
within 1 year of the first measured surface exceedance of 500 parts-per-
million methane, following the procedure specified in paragraph (j)(2) 
of this section.
    (iv) If the landfill is in the closed landfill subcategory, the 
owner or operator is exempt from submitting a collection and control 
system design plan to the Administrator provided that conditions in 
Sec.62.16711(g)(3) are met. If not, the owner or operator shall follow 
the submission procedures and timing in Sec.62.16724(d)(ii) and (iii) 
using a level of 50 Mg/yr instead of 34 Mg/yr.
    (5) The landfill owner or operator must notify the Administrator 
that the design plan is completed and submit a copy of the plan's 
signature page. The Administrator has 90 days to decide whether the 
design plan should be submitted for review. If the Administrator chooses 
to review the plan, the approval process continues as described in 
paragraph (c)(6) of this section. However, if the Administrator 
indicates that submission is not required or does not respond within 90 
days, the landfill owner or operator can continue to implement the plan 
with the recognition that the owner or operator is proceeding at their 
own risk. In the event that the design plan is required to be modified 
to obtain approval, the owner or operator must take any steps necessary 
to conform any prior actions to the approved design plan and any failure 
to do so could result in an enforcement action.
    (6) Upon receipt of an initial or revised design plan, the 
Administrator must review the information submitted under paragraphs 
(d)(1) through (3) of this section and either approve it, disapprove it, 
or request that additional information be submitted. Because of the many 
site-specific factors involved with landfill gas system design, 
alternative systems may be necessary. A wide variety of system designs 
are possible, such as vertical wells, combination horizontal and 
vertical collection systems, or horizontal trenches only, leachate 
collection components, and passive systems. If the Administrator does 
not approve or disapprove the design plan, or does not request that 
additional information be submitted within 90 days of receipt, then the 
owner or operator may continue with implementation of the design plan, 
recognizing they would be proceeding at their own risk.
    (7) If the owner or operator chooses to demonstrate compliance with 
the emission control requirements of this subpart using a treatment 
system as defined in this subpart, then the owner or operator must 
prepare a site-specific treatment system monitoring plan as specified in 
Sec.62.16726(b)(5). Legacy controlled landfills must prepare the 
monitoring plan no later than May 23, 2022.
    (e) Revised design plan. The owner or operator who has already been 
required to submit a design plan under paragraph (d) of this section, or 
under subpart GGG of this part; 40 CFR part 60, subpart WWW; or a state 
plan implementing subpart Cc of 40 CFR part 60, must submit a revised 
design plan to the Administrator for approval as follows:
    (1) At least 90 days before expanding operations to an area not 
covered by the previously approved design plan.
    (2) Prior to installing or expanding the gas collection system in a 
way that is not consistent with the design plan that was submitted to 
the Administrator according to paragraph (d) of this section.
    (f) Closure report. Each owner or operator of a controlled landfill 
must submit a closure report to the Administrator within 30 days of 
ceasing waste acceptance. The Administrator may request additional 
information as may be necessary to verify that permanent closure has 
taken place in accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR 258.60. If a 
closure report has been submitted to the Administrator, no additional 
wastes may be placed into the landfill without filing a notification of 
modification as described under 40 CFR 60.7(a)(4).
    (g) Equipment removal report. Each owner or operator of a controlled 
landfill must submit an equipment removal report to the Administrator 30 
days prior to removal or cessation of operation of the control 
equipment.
    (1) The equipment removal report must contain the following items:

[[Page 631]]

    (i) A copy of the closure report submitted in accordance with 
paragraph (f) of this section; and
    (ii) A copy of the initial performance test report demonstrating 
that the 15-year minimum control period has expired, unless the report 
of the results of the performance test has been submitted to the EPA via 
the EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX), or information that demonstrates 
that the gas collection and control system will be unable to operate for 
15 years due to declining gas flows. In the equipment removal report, 
the process unit(s) tested, the pollutant(s) tested, and the date that 
such performance test was conducted may be submitted in lieu of the 
performance test report if the report has been previously submitted to 
the EPA's CDX; and
    (iii) Dated copies of three successive NMOC emission rate reports 
demonstrating that the landfill is no longer producing 34 megagrams or 
greater of NMOC per year, unless the NMOC emission rate reports have 
been submitted to the EPA via the EPA's CDX. If the NMOC emission rate 
reports have been previously submitted to the EPA's CDX, a statement 
that the NMOC emission rate reports have been submitted electronically 
and the dates that the reports were submitted to the EPA's CDX may be 
submitted in the equipment removal report in lieu of the NMOC emission 
rate reports; or
    (iv) For the closed landfill subcategory, dated copies of three 
successive NMOC emission rate reports demonstrating that the landfill is 
no longer producing 50 megagrams or greater of NMOC per year, unless the 
NMOC emission rate reports have been submitted to the EPA via the EPA's 
CDX. If the NMOC emission rate reports have been previously submitted to 
the EPA's CDX, a statement that the NMOC emission rate reports have been 
submitted electronically and the dates that the reports were submitted 
to the EPA's CDX may be submitted in the equipment removal report in 
lieu of the NMOC emission rate reports.
    (2) The Administrator may request such additional information as may 
be necessary to verify that all of the conditions for removal in Sec.
62.16714(f) have been met.
    (h) Annual report. The owner or operator of a landfill seeking to 
comply with Sec.62.16714(e)(2) using an active collection system 
designed in accordance with Sec.62.16714(b) must submit to the 
Administrator, following the procedures specified in paragraph (j)(2) of 
this section, an annual report of the recorded information in paragraphs 
(h)(1) through (7) of this section. The initial annual report must be 
submitted within 180 days of installation and startup of the collection 
and control system except for legacy controlled landfills that have 
already submitted an initial report under 40 CFR part 60, subpart WWW; 
subpart GGG of this part; or a state plan implementing 40 CFR part 60, 
subpart Cc. Except for legacy controlled landfills, the initial annual 
report must include the initial performance test report required under 
40 CFR 60.8, as applicable, unless the report of the results of the 
performance test has been submitted to the EPA via the EPA's CDX. Legacy 
controlled landfills are exempted from submitting performance test 
reports in EPA's CDX provided that those reports were submitted under 40 
CFR part 60, subpart WWW; subpart GGG of this part; or a state plan 
implementing 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cc. In the initial annual report, 
the process unit(s) tested, the pollutant(s) tested and the date that 
such performance test was conducted may be submitted in lieu of the 
performance test report if the report has been previously submitted to 
the EPA's CDX. The initial performance test report must be submitted, 
following the procedure specified in paragraph (j)(1) of this section, 
no later than the date that the initial annual report is submitted. For 
enclosed combustion devices and flares, reportable exceedances are 
defined under Sec.62.16726(c)(1). Legacy controlled landfills are 
required to submit the annual report no later than one year after the 
most recent annual report submitted. If complying with the operational 
provisions of Sec. Sec.63.1958, 63.1960, and 63.1961 of this chapter, 
as allowed at Sec. Sec.62.16716, 62.16720, and 62.16722, the owner or 
operator must follow the semi-annual reporting requirements in Sec.
63.1981(h) of this chapter in lieu of this paragraph.

operator must use the appropriate electronic report in CEDRI for this 
subpart or an alternate electronic file format consistent with the XML 
schema listed on the CEDRI website (https://www3.epa.gov/ttn/chief/
cedri/index.html). If the reporting form specific to this subpart is not 
available in CEDRI at the time that the report is due, the owner or 
operator must submit the report to the Administrator at the appropriate 
address listed in 40 CFR 60.4 of this chapter. Once the form has been 
available in CEDRI for 90 calendar days, the owner or operator must 
begin submitting all subsequent reports via CEDRI. The reports must be 
submitted by the deadlines specified in this subpart, regardless of the 
method in which the reports are submitted.
    (k) Corrective action and the corresponding timeline. The owner or 
operator must submit according to paragraphs (k)(1) and (2) of this 
section. If complying with the operational provisions of 40 CFR 63.1958, 
63.1960, and 63.1961 of this chapter, as allowed at Sec. Sec.62.16716, 
62.16720, and 62.16722, the owner or operator must follow the corrective 
action and the corresponding timeline reporting requirements in Sec.
63.1981(j) of this chapter in lieu of paragraphs (k)(1) and (2) of this 
section.
    (1) For corrective action that is required according to Sec.
62.16720(a)(3)(iii) or 62.16720(a)(4)(iii) and is expected to take 
longer than 120 days after the initial exceedance to complete, you must 
submit the root cause analysis, corrective action analysis, and 
corresponding implementation timeline to the Administrator as soon as 
practicable but no later than 75 days after the first measurement of 
positive pressure or temperature monitoring value of 55 degrees Celsius 
(131 degrees Fahrenheit) or above. The Administrator must approve the 
plan for corrective action and the corresponding timeline.
    (2) For corrective action that is required according to Sec.
62.16720(a)(3)(iii) or Sec.62.16720(a)(4)(iii) and is not completed 
within 60 days after the initial exceedance, you must submit a 
notification to the Administrator as soon as practicable but no later 
than 75 days after the first measurement of positive pressure or 
temperature exceedance.
    (l) Liquids addition. The owner or operator of a designated facility 
with a design capacity equal to or greater than 2.5 million megagrams 
and 2.5 million cubic meters that has employed leachate recirculation or 
added liquids based on a Research, Development, and Demonstration permit 
(issued through Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), subtitle 
D, part 258) within the last 10 years must submit to the Administrator, 
annually, following the procedure specified in paragraph (j)(2) of this 
section, the following information:
    (1) Volume of leachate recirculated (gallons per year) and the 
reported basis of those estimates (records or engineering estimates).
    (2) Total volume of all other liquids added (gallons per year) and 
the reported basis of those estimates (records or engineering 
estimates).
    (3) Surface area (acres) over which the leachate is recirculated (or 
otherwise applied).

    (4) Surface area (acres) over which any other liquids are applied.
    (5) The total waste disposed (megagrams) in the areas with 
recirculated leachate and/or added liquids based on on-site records to 
the extent data are available, or engineering estimates and the reported 
basis of those estimates.
    (6) The annual waste acceptance rates (megagrams per year) in the 
areas with recirculated leachate and/or added liquids, based on on-site 
records to the extent data are available, or engineering estimates.
    (7) The initial report must contain items in paragraph (l)(1) 
through (6) of this section per year for the most recent 365 days as 
well as for each of the previous 10 years, to the extent historical data 
are available in on-site records, and the report must be submitted no 
later than June 21, 2022.
    (8) Subsequent annual reports must contain items in paragraph (l)(1) 
through (6) of this section for the 365-day period following the 365-day 
period included in the previous annual report, and the report must be 
submitted no later than 365 days after the date the previous report was 
submitted.
    (9) Landfills in the closed landfill subcategory are exempt from 
reporting requirements contained in paragraphs (l)(1) through (7) of 
this section.
    (10) Landfills may cease annual reporting of items in paragraphs 
(l)(1) through (6) of this section once they have submitted the closure 
report in Sec.62.16724(f).
    (m) Tier 4 notification. (1) The owner or operator of a designated 
facility with a design capacity equal to or greater than 2.5 million 
megagrams and 2.5 million cubic meters must provide a notification of 
the date(s) upon which it intends to demonstrate site-specific surface 
methane emissions are below 500 parts-per-million methane, based on the 
Tier 4 provisions of Sec.62.16718(a)(6). The landfill must also 
include a description of the wind barrier to be used during the SEM in 
the notification. Notification must be postmarked not less than 30 days 
prior to such date.
    (2) If there is a delay to the scheduled Tier 4 SEM date due to 
weather conditions, including not meeting the wind requirements in Sec.
62.16718(a)(6)(A), the owner or operator of a landfill shall notify the 
Administrator by email or telephone no later than 48 hours before any 
known delay in the original test date, and arrange an updated date with 
the Administrator by mutual agreement.
    (n) Notification of meeting Tier 4. The owner or operator of a 
designated facility must submit a notification to the EPA Regional 
office within 10 business days of completing each increment of progress. 
Each notification must indicate which increment of progress specified in 
Sec.62.16712 has been achieved. The notification must be signed by the 
owner or operator of the landfill.
    (1) For the first increment of progress (submit control plan), you 
must follow paragraph (p) of this section in addition to submitting the 
notification described in paragraph (n) of this section. A copy of the 
design plan must also be kept on site at the landfill.
    (2) For the second increment of progress, a signed copy of the 
contract(s) awarded must be submitted in addition to the notification 
described in paragraph (n) of this section.
    (o) Notification of failing to meet an increment of progress. The 
owner or operator of a designated facility who fails to meet any 
increment of progress specified in Sec.62.16712(a)(1) through (5) 
according to the applicable schedule in Sec.62.16712 must submit 
notification that the owner or operator failed to meet the increment to 
the EPA Regional office within 10 business days of the applicable date 
in Sec.62.16712.
    (p) Alternate dates for increments 2 and 3. The owner or operator 
(or the state or tribal air pollution control authority) that is 
submitting alternative dates for increments 2 and 3 according to Sec.
62.16712(d) must do so by the date specified for submitting the final 
control plan. The date for submitting the final control plan is 
specified in Sec.62.16712(c), as applicable. The owner or operator (or 
the state or tribal air pollution control authority) must submit a 
justification if any of the alternative dates are later than the 
increment dates in table 1 of this subpart. In addition to submitting 
the alternative dates to the appropriate EPA Regional

[[Page 635]]

Sec.62.16728  Specifications for active collection systems.

    Follow the specifications for active collection systems in this 
section.
    (a) Each owner or operator seeking to comply with Sec.62.16714(b) 
must site active collection wells, horizontal collectors, surface 
collectors, or other extraction devices at a sufficient density 
throughout all gas producing areas using the following procedures unless 
alternative procedures have been approved by the Administrator.
    (1) The collection devices within the interior must be certified to 
achieve comprehensive control of surface gas emissions by a professional 
engineer. The following issues must be addressed in the design: Depths 
of refuse, refuse gas generation rates and flow characteristics, cover 
properties, gas system expandability, leachate and condensate 
management, accessibility, compatibility with filling operations, 
integration with closure end use, air intrusion control, corrosion 
resistance, fill settlement, resistance to the refuse decomposition 
heat, and ability to isolate individual components or sections for 
repair or troubleshooting without shutting down entire collection 
system.
    (2) The sufficient density of gas collection devices determined in 
paragraph (a)(1) of this section must address landfill gas migration 
issues and augmentation of the collection system through the use of 
active or passive systems at the landfill perimeter or exterior.
    (3) The placement of gas collection devices determined in paragraph 
(a)(1) of this section must control all gas producing areas, except as 
provided by paragraphs (a)(3)(i) and (ii) of this section.

[[Page 639]]

    (i) Any segregated area of asbestos or nondegradable material may be 
excluded from collection if documented as provided under Sec.
62.16726(d). The documentation must provide the nature, date of 
deposition, location and amount of asbestos or nondegradable material 
deposited in the area, and must be provided to the Administrator upon 
request.
    (ii) Any nonproductive area of the landfill may be excluded from 
control, provided that the total of all excluded areas can be shown to 
contribute less than 1 percent of the total amount of NMOC emissions 
from the landfill. The amount, location, and age of the material must be 
documented and provided to the Administrator upon request. A separate 
NMOC emissions estimate must be made for each section proposed for 
exclusion, and the sum of all such sections must be compared to the NMOC 
emissions estimate for the entire landfill.
    (A) The NMOC emissions from each section proposed for exclusion must 
be computed using Equation 7:
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR21MY21.010

Where:

Qi = NMOC emission rate from the ith section, megagrams per 
          year.
k = Methane generation rate constant, year -\1\.
Lo = Methane generation potential, cubic meters per megagram 
          solid waste.
Mi = Mass of the degradable solid waste in the ith section, 
          megagram.
ti = Age of the solid waste in the ith section, years.
CNMOC = Concentration of NMOC, parts-per-million by volume.
3.6 x 10-\9\ = Conversion factor.

    (B) If the owner or operator is proposing to exclude, or cease gas 
collection and control from, nonproductive physically separated (e.g., 
separately lined) closed areas that already have gas collection systems, 
NMOC emissions from each physically separated closed area must be 
computed using either Equation 3 in Sec.62.16718 or Equation 7 in 
paragraph (a)(3)(ii)(A) of this section.
    (iii) The values for k and CNMOC determined in field 
testing must be used if field testing has been performed in determining 
the NMOC emission rate or the radii of influence (the distance from the 
well center to a point in the landfill where the pressure gradient 
applied by the blower or compressor approaches zero). If field testing 
has not been performed, the default values for k, Lo, and 
CNMOC provided in Sec.62.16718 or the alternative values 
from Sec.62.16718 must be used. The mass of nondegradable solid waste 
contained within the given section may be subtracted from the total mass 
of the section when estimating emissions provided the nature, location, 
age, and amount of the nondegradable material is documented as provided 
in paragraph (a)(3)(i) of this section.
    (b) Each owner or operator seeking to comply with Sec.62.16714(b) 
must construct the gas collection devices using the following equipment 
or procedures:
    (1) The landfill gas extraction components must be constructed of 
polyvinyl chloride (PVC), high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe, 
fiberglass, stainless steel, or other nonporous corrosion resistant 
material of suitable dimensions to: Convey projected amounts of gases; 
withstand installation, static, and settlement forces; and withstand 
planned overburden or traffic loads. The collection system must extend 
as necessary to comply with emission and migration standards. Collection 
devices such as wells and horizontal collectors must be perforated to 
allow gas entry without head loss sufficient to impair performance 
across the intended extent of control. Perforations must be situated 
with regard to the need to prevent excessive air infiltration.
    (2) Vertical wells must be placed so as not to endanger underlying 
liners and must address the occurrence of water within the landfill. 
Holes and trenches constructed for piped wells and horizontal collectors 
must be of sufficient cross-section so as to allow

[[Page 640]]

for their proper construction and completion including, for example, 
centering of pipes and placement of gravel backfill. Collection devices 
must be designed so as not to allow indirect short circuiting of air 
into the cover or refuse into the collection system or gas into the air. 
Any gravel used around pipe perforations should be of a dimension so as 
not to penetrate or block perforations.
    (3) Collection devices may be connected to the collection header 
pipes below or above the landfill surface. The connector assembly must 
include a positive closing throttle valve, any necessary seals and 
couplings, access couplings and at least one sampling port. The 
collection devices must be constructed of PVC, HDPE, fiberglass, 
stainless steel, or other nonporous material of suitable thickness.
    (c) Each owner or operator seeking to comply with Sec.62.16714(c) 
must convey the landfill gas to a control system in compliance with 
Sec.62.16714(c) through the collection header pipe(s). The gas mover 
equipment must be sized to handle the maximum gas generation flow rate 
expected over the intended use period of the gas moving equipment using 
the following procedures:
    (1) For existing collection systems, the flow data must be used to 
project the maximum flow rate. If no flow data exist, the procedures in 
paragraph (c)(2) of this section must be used.
    (2) For new collection systems, the maximum flow rate must be in 
accordance with Sec.62.16720(a)(1).

Federal Register announcing EPA's approval.
    Flare means an open combustor without enclosure or shroud.
    Final control plan (Collection and control system design plan) means 
a plan that describes the collection and control system that will 
capture the gas generated within an MSW landfill. The collection and 
control system design plan must be prepared by a professional engineer 
and must describe a collection and control system that meets the 
requirements of Sec.62.1614(b) and (c). The final control plan must 
contain engineering specifications and drawings of the collection and 
control system. The final control plan must include any alternatives to

and day-use recreation areas). Household waste does not include fully 
segregated yard waste. Segregated yard waste means vegetative matter 
resulting exclusively from the cutting of grass, the pruning and/or 
removal of bushes, shrubs, and trees, the weeding of gardens, and other 
landscaping maintenance activities. Household waste does not include 
construction, renovation, or demolition wastes, even if originating from 
a household.
    Industrial solid waste means solid waste generated by manufacturing 
or industrial processes that is not a hazardous waste regulated under 
Subtitle C of the RCRA, parts 264 and 265 of this chapter. Such waste 
may include, but is not limited to, waste resulting from the following 
manufacturing processes: Electric power generation; fertilizer/
agricultural chemicals; food and related products/by-products; inorganic 
chemicals; iron and steel manufacturing; leather and leather products; 
nonferrous metals manufacturing/foundries; organic chemicals; plastics 
and resins manufacturing; pulp and paper industry; rubber and 
miscellaneous plastic products; stone, glass, clay, and concrete 
products; textile manufacturing; transportation equipment; and water 
treatment. This term does not include mining waste or oil and gas waste.
    Interior well means any well or similar collection component located 
inside the perimeter of the landfill waste. A perimeter well located 
outside the landfilled waste is not an interior well.
    Landfill means an area of land or an excavation in which wastes are 
placed for permanent disposal, and that is not a land application unit, 
surface impoundment, injection well, or waste pile as those terms are 
defined under Sec.257.2 of this title.
    Lateral expansion means a horizontal expansion of the waste 
boundaries of an existing MSW landfill. A lateral expansion is not a 
modification unless it results in an increase in the design capacity of 
the landfill.
    Leachate recirculation means the practice of taking the leachate 
collected from the landfill and reapplying it to the landfill by any of 
one of a variety of methods, including pre-wetting of the waste, direct 
discharge into the working face, spraying, infiltration ponds, vertical 
injection wells, horizontal gravity distribution systems, and pressure 
distribution systems.
    Legacy controlled landfill means any MSW landfill subject to this 
subpart that submitted a collection and control system design plan prior 
to May 21, 2021 in compliance with Sec.60.752(b)(2)(i) of this 
chapter, the Federal plan at subpart GGG of this part, or a state/tribal 
plan implementing 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cc of this chapter, depending 
on which regulation was applicable to the landfill. This definition 
applies to those landfills that completed construction and began 
operations of the GCCS and those that are within the 30-month timeline 
for installation and start-up of a GCCS according to Sec.
60.752(b)(2)(ii) of this chapter, the Federal plan at subpart GGG of 
this part, or a state/tribal plan implementing 40 CFR part 60, subpart 
Cc.
    Modification means an increase in the permitted volume design 
capacity of the landfill by either lateral or vertical expansion based 
on its permitted design capacity as of July 17, 2014. Modification does 
not occur until the owner or operator commences construction on the 
lateral or vertical expansion.

    Municipal solid waste landfill or MSW landfill means an entire 
disposal facility in a contiguous geographical space where household 
waste is placed in or on land. An MSW landfill may also receive other 
types of RCRA, Subtitle D wastes (Sec.257.2 of this title) such as 
commercial solid waste, nonhazardous sludge, conditionally exempt small 
quantity generator waste, and industrial solid waste. Portions of an MSW 
landfill may be separated by access roads. An MSW landfill may be 
publicly or privately owned. An MSW landfill may be a new MSW landfill, 
an existing MSW landfill, or a lateral expansion.
    Municipal solid waste landfill emissions or MSW landfill emissions 
means gas generated by the decomposition of organic waste deposited in 
an MSW landfill or derived from the evolution of organic compounds in 
the waste.
    NMOC means nonmethane organic compounds, as measured according to 
the provisions of Sec.62.16718.
    Negative declaration letter means a letter to EPA declaring that 
there are no existing MSW landfills in the state or that there are no 
existing MSW landfills in the state that must install collection and 
control systems according to the requirements of 40 CFR part 60, subpart 
Cf.
    Nondegradable waste means any waste that does not decompose through 
chemical breakdown or microbiological activity. Examples are, but are 
not limited to, concrete, municipal waste combustor ash, and metals.
    Passive collection system means a gas collection system that solely 
uses positive pressure within the landfill to move the gas rather than 
using gas mover equipment.
    Protectorate means American Samoa, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, 
the District of Columbia, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the 
Virgin Islands.
    Root cause analysis means an assessment conducted through a process 
of investigation to determine the primary cause, and any other 
contributing causes, of positive pressure at a wellhead.
    Sludge means the term sludge as defined in 40 CFR 258.2.
    Solid waste means the term solid waste as defined in 40 CFR 258.2.
    State means any of the 50 United States and the protectorates of the 
United States.
    State plan means a plan submitted pursuant to section 111(d) of the 
Clean Air Act and subpart B of part 60 of this chapter that implements 
and enforces subpart Cf of 40 CFR part 60 of this chapter.
    Sufficient density means any number, spacing, and combination of 
collection system components, including vertical wells, horizontal 
collectors, and surface collectors necessary to maintain emission and 
migration control as determined by measures of performance set forth in 
this part.
    Sufficient extraction rate means a rate sufficient to maintain a 
negative pressure at all wellheads in the collection system without 
causing air infiltration, including any wellheads connected to the 
system as a result of expansion or excess surface emissions, for the 
life of the blower.
    Treated landfill gas means landfill gas processed in a treatment 
system as defined in this subpart.
    Treatment system means a system that filters, de-waters, and 
compresses landfill gas for sale or beneficial use.
    Tribal plan means a plan submitted by a Tribal Authority pursuant to 
40 CFR parts 9, 35, 49, 50, and 81 that implements and enforces 40 CFR 
part 60, subpart Cf.
    Untreated landfill gas means any landfill gas that is not treated 
landfill gas.
