a) Exempt Quantities. An owner or operator of
a facility that burns hazardous waste in an on-site BIF is exempt from the
requirements of this Subpart H provided that the following conditions are
fulfilled:
1) The quantity of hazardous waste
burned in a device for a calendar month does not exceed the limits provided in
Table A based on the TESH, as defined in Sections
726.200(i)
and
726.206(b)(3).
2) The maximum hazardous waste firing rate
does not exceed at any time one percent of the total fuel requirements for the
device (hazardous waste plus other fuel) on a total heat input or mass input
basis, whichever results in the lower mass feed rate of hazardous
waste;
3) The hazardous waste has a
minimum heating value of 5,000 Btu/lb, as generated; and
4) The hazardous waste fuel does not contain
(and is not derived from) USEPA hazardous waste numbers F020, F021, F022, F023,
F026, or F027.
b) Mixing
with Non-Hazardous Fuels. If hazardous waste fuel is mixed with a non-hazardous
fuel, the quantity of hazardous waste before such mixing is used to comply with
subsection (a).
c) Multiple Stacks.
If an owner or operator burns hazardous waste in more than one on-site BIF
exempt pursuant to this Section, the quantity limits provided by subsection
(a)(1), are implemented according to the following equation:

BOARD NOTE: Hazardous wastes that are subject to the special
requirements for VSQGs pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722.114 may be burned in
an off-site device pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 726.208, but
must be included in the quantity determination for the exemption.
d) Notification Requirements. The
owner or operator of facilities qualifying for the small quantity burner
exemption pursuant to this Section must provide a one-time signed, written
notice to the Agency indicating the following:
1) The combustion unit is operating as a
small quantity burner of hazardous waste;
2) The owner and operator are in compliance
with the requirements of this Section; and
3) The maximum quantity of hazardous waste
that the facility is allowed to burn per month, as provided by Section
726.208(a)(1).
e)
Recordkeeping Requirements. The owner or operator must maintain at the facility
for at least three years sufficient records documenting compliance with the
hazardous waste quantity, firing rate and heating value limits of this Section.
At a minimum, these records must indicate the quantity of hazardous waste and
other fuel burned in each unit per calendar month and the heating value of the
hazardous waste.
