Section NR 664.0345 - Operating requirements(1) The owner or operator shall operate an incinerator according to the operating requirements in the license. The department will specify these on a case-by-case basis as those demonstrated (in a trial burn or in alternative data as specified in s. NR 664.0344(2) and included with the feasibility and plan of operation report) to be sufficient to comply with the performance standards of s. NR 664.0343.(2) Each set of operating requirements will specify the composition of the waste feed (including acceptable variations in the physical or chemical properties of the waste feed which will not affect compliance with the performance requirement of s. NR 664.0343) to which the operating requirements apply. For each waste feed to which the operating requirements apply, the license will specify acceptable operating limits including all of the following conditions: (a) Carbon monoxide (CO) level in the stack exhaust gas.(c) Combustion temperature.(d) An appropriate indicator of combustion gas velocity.(e) Allowable variations in incinerator system design or operating procedures.(f) Other operating requirements as are necessary to ensure that the performance standards of s. NR 664.0343 are met.(3) During start-up and shut-down of an incinerator, the owner or operator shall not feed hazardous waste (except wastes exempted according to s. NR 664.0340) into the incinerator unless the incinerator is operating within the conditions of operation (temperature, air feed rate, etc.) specified in the license.(4) The owner or operator shall control fugitive emissions from the combustion zone by one of the following: (a) Keeping the combustion zone totally sealed against fugitive emissions.(b) Maintaining a combustion zone pressure lower than atmospheric pressure.(c) An alternate means of control demonstrated (with the feasibility and plan of operation report) to provide fugitive emissions control equivalent to maintenance of combustion zone pressure lower than atmospheric pressure.(5) The owner or operator shall operate an incinerator with a functioning system to automatically cut off waste feed to the incinerator when operating conditions deviate from limits established under sub. (1). (6) The owner or operator shall cease operation of an incinerator when changes in waste feed, incinerator design or operating conditions exceed limits designated in its license.Wis. Admin.
