Summary:

Designated pollutants are pollutants for which new source performance standards have been established under § 111(b) of the federal Clean Air Act (Act). A designated facility is an existing facility that emits a designated pollutant and that would be subject to a standard of performance for that pollutant if the facility were new. The Act requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish procedures for states to submit plans to control facilities that emit designated pollutants. Section 129 of the Act requires that EPA establish performance standards and other requirements pursuant to §§ 111 and 129 of the Act for each category of solid waste incineration units. Such standards include emissions limitations and other requirements applicable to new units and guidelines and other requirements applicable to existing units. It also requires states to submit plans for these sources. Subpart B provides that EPA will publish guideline documents for development of state emission standards after promulgation of any standard of performance for designated pollutants. EPA amended its emission guidelines for commercial/industrial solid waste incinerators in the Federal Register on February 7, 2013 (78 FR 9112). In order to implement the emissions guidelines, it is necessary for Virginia to amend its state regulation containing those limits.

If the unit is restarted after the date one year after the baseline compliance date and resumes operation, but the owner has not previously requested an extension by meeting the requirements of 9VAC5-40-6421, the owner shall complete the requirements of 9VAC5-40-6420 A at the time the unit is restarted. Upon restarting the unit, the owner shall have incorporated all process changes and completed retrofit construction of control devices in order that the affected unit brought online operates all necessary process changes and air pollution control devices as designed.

C. For purposes of this section, the term "shutdown" shall have the meaning specified in 9VAC5 Chapter 10.

9VAC5-40-6430. Operating limits.

A. The owner of a facility using wet scrubbers shall meet operating limits as established in subdivisions 1 and 2 of this subsection. No owner or other person shall operate any CISWI unit in a manner that does not comply with the provisions of 40 CFR 60.2675 through 40 CFR 60.2680.

1. Operating limits for operating parameters shall be in accordance with Table 4-45A.

TABLE 4-45A OPERATING LIMITS FOR WET SCRUBBERS
Operating parameters	Operating limits	Minimum frequencies
		Data measurement	Data recording	Averaging time
Charge rate	Maximum charge rate	Continuous	Every hour	Daily (batch units). 3-hour rolling (continuous and intermittent units)a
Pressure drop across the wet scrubber or amperage to wet scrubber	Minimum pressure drop or amperage	Continuous	Every 15 minutes	3-hour rollinga
Scrubber liquor flow rate	Minimum flow rate	Continuous	Every 15 minutes	3-hour rollinga
Scrubber liquor pH	Minimum pH	Continuous	Every 15 minutes	3-hour rollinga
aCalculated each hour as the average of the previous three operating hours.

2. Operating limits for wet scrubbers shall be established during the initial emission test as follows:

a. Maximum charge rate shall be calculated using one of the following procedures:

(1) For continuous and intermittent units, the maximum charge rate is 110% of the average charge rate measured during the most recent emission test demonstrating compliance with all applicable emission limitations.

(2) For batch units, the maximum charge rate is 110% of the daily charge rate measured during the most recent emission test demonstrating compliance with all applicable emission limitations.

b. Minimum pressure drop across the wet scrubber, which is calculated as 90% of the average pressure drop across the wet scrubber measured during the most recent emission test demonstrating compliance with the particulate matter emission limitations; or minimum amperage to the wet scrubber, which is calculated as 90% of the average amperage to the wet scrubber measured during the most recent emission test demonstrating compliance with the particulate matter emission limitations.

c. Minimum scrubber liquor flow rate, which is calculated as 90% of the average liquor flow rate at the inlet to the wet scrubber measured during the most recent emission test demonstrating compliance with all applicable emission limitations.

d. Minimum scrubber liquor pH, which is calculated as 90% of the average liquor pH at the inlet to the wet scrubber measured during the most recent emission test demonstrating compliance with the hydrogen chloride emission limitation.

B. Operating limits established during the initial emission test shall be met on the date the initial emission test is required or completed, whichever is earlier.

C. If a fabric filter is used to comply with the emission limitations, each fabric filter system shall be operated such that the bag leak detection system alarm does not sound more than 5.0% of the operating time during a six-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 one hour. If longer than one hour to initiate corrective action transpires, the alarm time shall be counted as the actual amount of time taken to initiate corrective action.

D. If an air pollution control device other than a wet scrubber is used, or if emissions are controlled in some other manner, the owner shall petition the board for specific operating limits to be established during the initial emission test and continuously monitored thereafter. The initial emission test shall not be conducted until after the petition has been approved by the board. The petition shall include the following:

1. Identification of the specific parameters proposed to be used as additional operating limits.

2. 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 limit emissions of regulated pollutants.

3. A discussion of how the upper or lower values, or both, for these parameters, which will establish the operating limits on these parameters, will be established.

4. A discussion identifying the methods to be used to measure and the instruments to be used to monitor these parameters, and the relative accuracy and precision of these methods and instruments.

5. A discussion identifying the frequency and methods for recalibrating the instruments used for monitoring these parameters.
