62.14455—What if my HMIWI goes outside of a parameter limit?
(a)
Operation above the established maximum or below the established minimum operating parameter(s) constitutes a violation of established operating parameter(s). Operating parameter limits do not apply during startup, shutdown, malfunction, and performance tests.
(b)
Except as provided in paragraph (f) or (g) of this section, if your HMIWI is a small rural HMIWI,
| And your HMIWI . . . | Then you are in violation of . . . |
|---|---|
| Operates above the maximum charge rate (3-hour rolling average for continuous and intermittent HMIWI, daily average for batch HMIWI) and below the minimum secondary chamber temperature (3-hour rolling average) simultaneously | The PM, CO, and dioxin/furan emission limits. |
(c)
Except as provided in paragraph (f) or (g) of this section, if your HMIWI is equipped with a dry scrubber followed by a fabric filter:
| And your HMIWI . . . | Then you are in violation of . . . |
|---|---|
| (1) Operates above the maximum charge rate (3-hour rolling average for continuous and intermittent HMIWI, daily average for batch HMIWI) and below the minimum secondary chamber temperature (3-hour rolling average) simultaneously | The CO emission limit. |
| (2) Operates above the maximum fabric filter inlet temperature (3-hour rolling average), above the maximum charge rate (3-hour rolling average for continuous and intermittent HMIWI, daily average for batch HMIWI), and below the minimum dioxin/furan sorbent flow rate (3-hour rolling average) simultaneously | The dioxin/furan emission limit. |
| (3) Operates above the maximum charge rate (3-hour rolling average for continuous and intermittent HMIWI, daily average for batch HMIWI) and below the minimum HCl sorbent flow rate (3-hour rolling average) simultaneously | The HCl emission limit. |
| (4) Operates above the maximum charge rate (3-hour rolling average for continuous and intermittent HMIWI, daily average for batch HMIWI) and below the minimum Hg sorbent flow rate (3-hour rolling average) simultaneously | The Hg emission limit. |
| (5) Uses the bypass stack (except during startup, shutdown, or malfunction) | The PM, dioxin/furan, HCl, Pb, Cd, and Hg emission limits. |
(d)
Except as provided in paragraph (f) or (g) of this section, if your HMIWI is equipped with a wet scrubber:
| And your HMIWI . . . | Then you are in violation of . . . |
|---|---|
| (1) Operates above the maximum charge rate (3-hour rolling average for continuous and intermittent HMIWI, daily average for batch HMIWI) and below the minimum secondary chamber temperature (3-hour rolling average) simultaneously | The CO emission limit. |
| (2) Operates above the maximum charge rate (3-hour rolling average for continuous and intermittent HMIWI, daily average for batch HMIWI) and below the minimum pressure drop across the wet scrubber (3-hour rolling average) or below the minimum horsepower or amperage to the system (3-hour rolling average) simultaneously | The PM emission limit. |
| (3) Operates above the maximum charge rate (3-hour rolling average for continuous and intermittent HMIWI, daily average for batch HMIWI), below the minimum secondary chamber temperature (3-hour rolling average), and below the minimum scrubber liquor flow rate (3-hour rolling average) simultaneously | The dioxin/furan emission limit. |
| (4) Operates above the maximum charge rate (3-hour rolling average for continuous and intermittent HMIWI, daily average for batch HMIWI) and below the minimum scrubber liquor pH (3-hour rolling average) simultaneously | The HCl emission limit. |
| (5) Operates above the maximum flue gas temperature (3-hour rolling average) and above the maximum charge rate (3-hour rolling average for continuous and intermittent HMIWI, daily average for batch HMIWI) simultaneously | The Hg emission limit. |
| (6) Uses the bypass stack (except during startup, shutdown, or malfunction) | The PM, dioxin/furan, HCl, Pb, Cd, and Hg emission limits. |
(e)
Except as provided in paragraph (f) or (g) of this section, if your HMIWI is equipped with a dry scrubber followed by a fabric filter and a wet scrubber:
| And your HMIWI . . . | Then you are in violation of . . . |
|---|---|
| (1) Operates above the maximum charge rate (3-hour rolling average for continuous and intermittent HMIWI, daily average for batch HMIWI) and below the minimum secondary chamber temperature (3-hour rolling average) simultaneously | The CO emission limit. |
| (2) Operates above the maximum fabric filter inlet temperature (3-hour rolling average), above the maximum charge rate (3-hour rolling average for continuous and intermittent HMIWI, daily average for batch HMIWI), and below the minimum dioxin/furan sorbent flow rate (3-hour rolling average) simultaneously | The dioxin/furan emission limit. |
| (3) Operates above the maximum charge rate (3-hour rolling average for continuous and intermittent HMIWI, daily average for batch HMIWI) and below the minimum scrubber liquor pH (3-hour rolling average) simultaneously | The HCl emission limit. |
| (4) Operates above the maximum charge rate (3-hour rolling average for continuous and intermittent HMIWI, daily average for batch HMIWI) and below the minimum Hg sorbent flow rate (3-hour rolling average) simultaneously | The Hg emission limit. |
| (5) Uses the bypass stack (except during startup, shutdown, or malfunction) | The PM, dioxin/furan, HCl, Pb, Cd, and Hg emission limits. |
(f)
You may conduct a repeat performance test within 30 days of violation of applicable operating parameter(s) to demonstrate that your HMIWI is not in violation of the applicable emission limit(s). You must conduct repeat performance tests pursuant to this paragraph using the identical operating parameters that indicated a violation under paragraph (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this section.
(g)
If you are using a CEMS to demonstrate compliance with any of the emission limits in table 1 of this subpart or § 62.14412, and your CEMS indicates compliance with an emission limit during periods when operating parameters indicate a violation of an emission limit under paragraphs (b), (c), (d), or (e) of this section, then you are considered to be in compliance with the emission limit. You need not conduct a repeat performance test to demonstrate compliance.
(h)
You may conduct a repeat performance test in accordance with § 62.14452 at any time to establish new values for the operating parameters.
