(A) Exempt quantities. Owners and operators
of facilities that burn hazardous waste in an on-site boiler or industrial
furnace are exempt from rules
3745-266-100
to
3745-266-112
of the Administrative Code provided that all of the following:
(1) The quantity of hazardous waste burned in
a device for a calendar month does not exceed the limits in the table in this
rule based on the terrain-adjusted effective stack height as determined in
paragraph (B)(3) of rule
3745-266-106
of the Administrative Code:

(2)
The maximum hazardous waste firing rate does not exceed at any time one per
cent 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 five thousand British thermal units (Btu) per pound, as
generated.
(4) The hazardous waste
fuel does not contain (and is not derived from) EPA hazardous waste numbers
F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, or F027.
(B) Mixing with nonhazardous fuels. If
hazardous waste fuel is mixed with a nonhazardous fuel, the quantity of
hazardous waste before such mixing is used to comply with paragraph (A) of this
rule.
(C) Multiple stacks. If an
owner or operator burns hazardous waste in more than one on-site boiler or
industrial furnace exempt under this rule, the quantity limits provided by
paragraph (A)(1) of this rule are implemented according to the following
equation:

where:
n = the number of stacks
Actual Quantity Burned = the waste quantity burned per month in
device "i"
Allowable Quantity Burned = the maximum allowable exempt
quantity for stack "i" from the table in this rule
[Comment: Hazardous wastes that are subject to the
special requirements for small quantity
generators
generator category
determination under rule 3745-51-05
3745-52-13
of the Administrative Code may be burned in an off-site device under the
exemption provided by this rule, but shall 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 under
this rule shall provide a one-time signed, written notice to Ohio EPA that
indicates all of 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 this rule.
(3) The maximum quantity of hazardous waste
that the facility may burn per month as provided by paragraph (A)(1) of this
rule.
(E) Recordkeeping
requirements. The owner or operator shall 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 rule. At a minimum,
these records shall indicate the quantity of hazardous waste and other fuel
burned in each unit per calendar month, and the heating value of the hazardous
waste.
