§ 60.6600 What records must I keep for municipal waste combustors that use activated carbon?
For municipal waste combustors that use activated carbon to control dioxins/furans or mercury emissions, you must keep records of all of the following five items:
(a) Records of average carbon feed rate. Document five items:
(1) Average carbon feed rate in kilograms (or pounds) per hour during all stack tests for dioxins/furans and mercury emissions. Include supporting calculations in the records.
(2) For the operating parameter chosen to monitor carbon feed rate, average operating level during all stack tests for dioxins/furans and mercury emissions. Include supporting data that document the relationship between the operating parameter and the carbon feed rate.
(3) Average carbon feed rate in kilograms (or pounds) per hour estimated for each hour of operation. Include supporting calculations in the records.
(4) Total carbon usage for each calendar quarter as estimated in § 60.6560(d). Include supporting calculations in the records.
(5) Carbon injection system operating parameter data for the parameter(s) that are the primary indicator(s) of carbon feed rate (e.g., screw feeder speed).
(b) Records of low carbon feed rates. Document three items:
(1) The calendar dates when the average carbon feed rate was less than the average hourly carbon feed rates determined during the most recent stack test for dioxins/furans or mercury emissions.
(2) Reasons for the low carbon feed rates.
(3) Corrective actions you took or are taking to meet the average carbon feed rate requirement.
(c) Records of carbon injection system operating parameter indicators. Document three items:
(1) Calendar dates for which the carbon injection system operating parameter(s) that are the primary indicator(s) of carbon mass feed rate (e.g., screw feeder speed) recorded are below the level(s) estimated during the performance tests.
(2) Reasons for the occurrences.
(3) Corrective actions you took or are taking to meet the levels estimated during the performance tests.
(d) Records of exclusions. Document each time you have excluded data from your calculation of average carbon feed rates and the reasons the data were excluded.
(e) Records of calendar dates. Include the calendar date on each record.
