The emission limits and stack opacity requirements of this subpart apply at all times except during periods of startup, shutdown, or malfunction, provided that no hospital waste or medical/infectious waste is charged to your HMIWI during periods of startup, shutdown, or malfunction.
(a) You must inspect your small rural HMIWI by August 15, 2001.
(b) You must conduct inspections as outlined in § 62.14442 annually (no more than 12 months following the previous annual equipment inspection).
