Small Quantity On-Site Burner Exemption
Section 726
Section 726.208Â Small Quantity
On-Site Burner Exemption
a)        Exempt Quantities. An owner or operator of a facility that burns
hazardous waste in an on-site BIF is exempt from Subpart H if the following
conditions are met:
1)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 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)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 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)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The hazardous waste has a minimum heating value of 5,000 Btu/lb,
as generated; and
4)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 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 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
under
this Section, the quantity limits provided by subsection (a)(1), are
implemented according to the following equation:

BOARD NOTE:Â
Hazardous wastes that are subject to the special requirements for
exemption for
VSQGs
under
35 Ill. Adm. Code 722.114 may be
burned in an off-site device
under
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
under
this Section must provide a one-time
signed, written notice to the Agency indicating the following:
1)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The combustion unit is operating as a small quantity burner of
hazardous waste;
2)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The owner and operator are in compliance with the requirements
of this Section; and
3)Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 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.
