Other hazardous wastes may be burned only after operating conditions have been specified in an operating license. Operating requirements for new wastes may be based on either trial burn results or alternative data included with the operating license application.(6) The operating license for a new incinerator or the expansion, enlargement, or alteration of an existing incinerator shall establish appropriate conditions for each of the applicable requirements of this part, including, but not limited to, allowable waste feeds and operating conditions necessary to meet the requirements of 40 C.F.R. §264.345 and sufficient to comply with 40 C.F.R. §264.344 (c) (1) and (2) for the period before and during the trial burn.(7) The director may require trial operation of an incinerator and the submittal of a trial operations plan containing the information specified in 40 C.F.R. §270.62 (b) (2) under the following circumstances: (a) Before the renewal of an incinerator's operating license under part 111 of the act.(b) Before the licensing of an incinerator newly subjected to the license requirements of part 111 of the act and these rules.(c) Before the approval of new waste types through an operating license modification.(d) The director has evidence that an incinerator may be emitting hazardous constituents in quantities which violate part 55 of the act or these rules.(8) The requirements of 40 C.F.R. §270.62 (a) to (d) shall apply to facilities incinerating hazardous waste, except as otherwise provided in these rules.(9) An incinerator burning hazardous waste shall be designed, constructed, and maintained so that it will comply with part 55 of the act.(10) The director may, in addition, specify one or more principal organic hazardous constituents from the lists of hazardous waste or hazardous constituents contained in tables 201 to 206 of these rules.(11)The provisions of 40 C.F.R. part 63, subpart EEE; 40 C.F.R. part 261, appendix VIII; 40 C.F.R. part 264, subpart O, except 40 C.F.R. §264.340 (a) to (d) and §264.344 (a) (2) and (b); and 40 C.F.R. §§270.62 (a) to (d) and 270.235 (a) (1) (i), are adopted by reference in R 299.11003.
