Section Env-A 3505.02 - Emission Limits for Small, Medium, and Large HMIWI

(a) All small, medium, and large HMIWI units shall comply with the emission limitations set forth in Table 3500-2 in (c), below.

(b) For purposes of Table 3500-2 in (c), below, when there is a choice between units of measurement for any of the pollutants listed, the HMIWI operator or owner shall choose the units of measurement that applies most closely to the individual HMIWI unit.

(c) The emission limits for small, medium, and large HMIWI shall be as set forth in Table 3500-2 below, based on 7 percent oxygen, dry basis:

TABLE 3500-2: EMISSION LIMITS FOR SMALL, MEDIUM, AND LARGE HMIWI

Pollutant	Units	Emission limits
HMIWI size
Small	Medium	Large
Particulate matter	milligrams per dry standard cubic meter; or grains per dry standard cubic foot	115 0.05	69 0.03	34 0.015
Carbon monoxide	parts per million by volume	40	40	40
Dioxins/furans	If measured as total dioxins/furans, either: nanograms per dry standard cubic meter total dioxins/furans; or grains per billion dry standard cubic feet total dioxins/furans. If measured as toxic equivalency (TEQ), either: nanograms per dry standard cubic meter TEQ; or grains per billion dry standards cubic feet TEQ.	125 55 2.3 1.0	125 55 2.3 1.0	125 55 2.3 1.0
Hydrogen chloride	parts per million by volume; or percent reduction	100 93%	100 93%	100 93%
Sulfur dioxide	parts per million by volume	55	55	55
Nitrogen oxides	parts per million by volume	250	250	250
Lead	milligrams per dry standard cubic meter; grains per thousand dry standard cubic feet; or percent reduction	1.2 0.52 70%	1.2 0.52 70%	1.2 0.52 70%
Cadmium	milligrams per dry standard cubic meter; grains per thousand dry standard cubic feet; or percent reduction	0.16 0.07 65%	0.16 0.07 65%	0.16 0.07 65%
Mercury	milligrams per dry standard cubic meter; or grains per thousand dry standard cubic feet;	0.055 0.024	0.055 0.024	0.055 0.024

(d) On or after the initial performance test is completed or required to be completed, whichever comes first, no owner or operator of a small, medium, or large HMIWI unit shall cause to be discharged into the atmosphere from that HMIWI unit any gases that exhibit greater than 10 percent opacity, measured by 6 minute block average using method 9 from 40 CFR 60 Appendix A.

(e) The emission limits for small, medium, or large HMIWI under this chapter shall apply at all times except during periods of startup, shutdown, or malfunction, provided that no hospital waste or medical/infectious waste is charged to the HMIWI unit during startup, shutdown, or malfunction.
