If the operating unit burns materials other than traditional fuels as defined in 40 CFR § 241.2 that have been discarded, and the owner or operator does not keep and produce records as required by subdivision 9.11.u, the operating unit is a CISWI unit. While not all CISWI units will include all of the following components, a CISWI unit includes, but is not limited to, the solid waste feed system, grate system, flue gas system, waste heat recovery equipment, if any, and bottom ash system. The CISWI unit does not include air pollution control equipment or the stack. The CISWI unit boundary starts at the solid waste hopper (if applicable) and extends through two areas: the combustion unit flue gas system, which ends immediately after the last combustion chamber or after the waste heat recovery equipment, if any; and the combustion unit bottom ash system, which ends at the truck loading station or similar equipment that transfers the ash to final disposal. The CISWI unit includes all ash handling systems connected to the bottom ash handling system. 2.5. “Hospital/ medical/ infectious waste incinerator” or “HMIWI unit” means any device that combusts any amount of hospital waste or medical/ infectious waste. 2.6. “Municipal waste combustor unit” or “municipal waste combustor” means any setting or equipment that combusts solid, liquid or gasified municipal solid waste including, but not limited to, field-erected incinerators (with or without heat recovery), modular incinerators (starved-air or excess-air), boilers (i.e., steam generating units), furnaces (whether suspension-fired, grate-fired, mass-fired, air curtain incinerators, or fluidized bed-fired), and pyrolysis/ combustion units. 2.6.a. Municipal waste combustors do not include: 2.6.a.1. pyrolysis/ combustion units located at a plastics/ rubber recycling unit as specified in 40 CFR § 60.50b(m); 2.6.a.2. cement kilns firing municipal solid waste as specified in 40 CFR § 60.50b(p); 2.6.a.3. internal combustion engines, gas turbines, or other combustion devices that combust landfill gases collected by landfill gas collection systems. 2.6.b. The municipal waste combustor unit includes, but is not limited to, the municipal solid waste fuel feed system, grate system, flue gas system, bottom ash system, and the combustor water system. The municipal waste combustor boundary starts at the municipal solid waste pit or hopper and extends through: 2.6.b.1. The combustor flue gas system, which ends immediately following the heat recovery equipment or, if there is no heat recovery equipment, immediately following the combustion chamber; 2.6.b.2. The combustor bottom ash system, which ends at the truck loading station or similar ash handling equipment that transfer the ash to final disposal, including all ash handling systems that are connected to the bottom ash handling system; and 2.6.b.3. The combustor water system, which starts at the feed water pump and ends at the piping exiting the steam drum or superheater. 2.7. “Other solid waste incineration unit” or “OSWI unit” means either a very small municipal waste combustion unit or an institutional waste incineration unit. Unit types listed in 40 CFR § 60.2887 are not OSWI units. While not all OSWI units will include all of the following components, an OSWI unit includes, but is not limited to, the municipal or institutional solid waste feed system, grate system, flue gas system, waste heat recovery equipment, if any, and bottom ash system. The OSWI unit does not include air pollution control equipment or the stack. The OSWI unit boundary starts at the municipal or institutional waste hopper (if applicable) and extends through two areas: 2.7.a. The combustion unit flue gas system, which ends immediately after the last combustion chamber or after the waste heat recovery equipment, if any; and 2.7.b. The combustion unit bottom ash system, which ends at the truck loading station or similar equipment that transfers the ash to final disposal. The OSWI unit includes all ash handling systems connected to the bottom ash handling system. 2.8. “Person” means any and all persons, natural or artificial, including the state of West Virginia or any other state, the United States of America, any municipal, statutory, public or private corporation organized or existing under the laws of this or any other state or country, and any firm, partnership or association of whatever nature. 2.9. “Secretary” means the Secretary of the Department of Environmental Protection or such other person to whom the Secretary has delegated authority or duties pursuant to W.
