Full text

You must include seven items: (a) The emission levels measured on the date of the initial evaluation of your continuous emission monitoring systems for all of the following pollutants or parameters as recorded in accordance with § 60.6595(b). (1) The 24-hour daily block geometric average concentration or percent reduction of sulfur dioxide emissions. (2) The 24-hour daily arithmetic average concentration of nitrogen oxides emissions. (3) The 4-hour block or 24-hour daily arithmetic average concentration of carbon monoxide emissions, as applicable. (4) The 4-hour block arithmetic average load level of your municipal waste combustor. (5) The 4-hour block arithmetic average flue gas temperature at the inlet of the particulate matter control device. (6) If you elect to continuously monitor particulate matter, cadmium, lead, mercury, or hydrogen chloride emissions instead of conducting performance testing, all 1-hour average concentrations of particulate matter, cadmium, lead, mercury, or hydrogen chloride emissions. (7) If you monitor emissions with a CEMS, you must indicate which data are CEMS data during warmup, startup, and shutdown. (b) The results of the initial performance stack tests for eight pollutants or parameters (use appropriate units as specified in Table 3 to Subpart WWWW): (1) Dioxins/furans. (2) Cadmium. (3) Lead. (4) Mercury. (5) Opacity. (6) Particulate matter. (7) Hydrogen chloride. (8) Fugitive ash. (c) The test report that documents the initial stack tests including supporting calculations. (d) The initial performance evaluation of your continuous emissions monitoring systems. Use the applicable performance specifications in appendix B of this part in conducting the evaluation. (e) The maximum demonstrated load of your municipal waste combustor and the maximum demonstrated temperature of the flue gases at the inlet of the particulate matter control device. Use values established during your initial stack test for dioxins/furans emissions and include supporting calculations. (f) If your municipal waste combustor uses activated carbon to control dioxins/furans or mercury emissions, the average carbon mass feed rates that you recorded during the stack tests for dioxins/furans and mercury emissions. Include supporting calculations as specified in § 60.6660(a)(1) and (2). (g) If you choose to monitor carbon dioxide instead of oxygen as a diluent gas, documentation of the relationship between oxygen and carbon dioxide, as specified in § 60.6485.
