All About Waste Dallas, TX ♦ May 18, 2016 Carrie Yonley, P.E.
2
Waste, Alternative Fuel and Beneficial Use ˃ New era of alternative fuel driving air rule compliance regime ˃ CISWI (Commercial & Industrial Solid Waste Incinerator Rule) compliance date nearing ˃ Updates on Recent Rules: NHSM (Non-hazardous Secondary Material) Rule Additions RCRA Rule Changes CCR (Coal Combustion Residuals) and Beneficial Use 2
3
Fuels Determine Air Rules Traditional fuels and documented non-waste alternative fuels Non-hazardous waste alternative waste fuels Hazardous waste-derived fuels PC MACT Traditional fuels Non-hazardous waste alternative waste fuels CISWI Traditional fuels HWC MACT RCRA NHSM Rule Drives Difference RCRA Hazardous Waste Rule Drives Difference
4
Compliance Time Nearing for CISWI Kilns February 2018
5
CISWI Compliance Outline ˃ Compliance with standards at all times Including startup, shutdown and malfunction ˃ Continuously monitor operating parameters Detailed kiln specific operating limits & CEMS Initial and periodic CMS performance evaluations ˃ Annual performance stack tests ˃ Annual APCD inspections ˃ Plans and Procedures ˃ Fuel switching procedures 5
6
Reconsideration Rule Signed 5-5-16 PM Standard Amended Reconsideration rule also includes clarifications, e.g.: Amends kiln system definition same as PC MACT, including in-line raw mills, in-line coal mills and alkali bypasses 6
7
CISWI Implementation Timeline Rule Published State Plan Due “Latest” Compliance Date 2/7/18* Stack Emissions Testing Site-specific Monitoring Plan Final Control Plan Waste Management Plan Submit 20132014 2015-2017 2018 CEMS Performance Evaluations Operator Training Program Perform Complete Initial & Ongoing APCD Inspections Design/Implement Procedures Install/ Upgrade CEMS/CMS Additional APCDs DAS Startup, Shutdown, Malfunction Operations & Maintenance Stack Test Plan Establish Operating Limits Monitoring Waste Handling Records & Reporting 7 * Compliance date based on State or Federal Plan
8
Site-Specific Training Documentation ˃ Regulatory overview ˃ Waste management plan ˃ List of wastes burned during performance test ˃ Procedures: Receiving, handling, and charging waste Kiln startup, shutdown, and malfunction Maintaining proper combustion air supply levels Operating kiln and APCDs within CISWI standards Monitoring kiln compliance operating limits Reporting and recordkeeping 8
9
CISWI Stack Emissions Testing ˃ Initial performance test by 6 months after compliance date – kiln and separate stacks ˃ Normal operating conditions/representative waste ˃ Annual performance test (11 – 13 months) Retest if process or waste changes Retest to re-establish operating limits Reduced to every 3 years if emissions <75% of standard 9
10
Alternative Fuel Regulatory Update For PC MACT Kilns
11
Alternative Fuel Update ˃ Most recent “Comfort letter” by EPA 11-15 ˃ New Categorical Listing Rule (2-16) Construction/Demolition wood processed from C&D debris per best management practices Creosote treated railroad ties processed and burned in “biomass and oil” burner ˃ EPA working on guidance and additional topics Listing for additional types of treated wood Listing for used off-spec oil Clarifying refuse-derived fuel vs. engineered fuel See EPA NHSM website for “guidance”
12
RCRA Hazardous Waste Generator Rule Revisions
13
Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements Rule ˃ RCRA rule revisions proposed 9/25/2015 ˃ Final rule expected by 2016 year end ˃ Numerous changes: most of RCRA Subtitle C Reorganization of 40 CFR 262 generator rules Over 60 substantive changes/30+ corrections/clarifications ˃ All hazardous waste generators, industry sectors, facility types and locations affected 13
14
RCRA Changed Provisions ˃ Waste Determinations Hazardous and non-hazardous waste Document when material first becomes waste ˃ Emergency Planning and Preparedness Waiver to 50’ Rule for Ignitable/Reactive Waste ˃ Labeling, notifications and recordkeeping ˃ New/clarified satellite accumulation ˃ New closure requirements for large quantity generators (LQGs) 14
15
RCRA Corrosivity Characteristic Proposal: Petition Denied ˃ Petition Content (81 FR 21295, 4/11/2016) Lower alkaline pH threshold from 12.5 to 11.5 Apply both pH thresholds to non-aqueous wastes ˃ EPA Decision: Tentative Denial in Entirety ˃ Next steps: Comments due 6/10/2016 ˃ Final denial likely; but new possible EPA considerations: What is “aqueous” New characteristic: “irritant” 15
16
Coal Combustion Residual Rules and Beneficial Use
17
CCR Rule – April 17, 2015 ˃ Final rule based on Subtitle D Detailed operational requirements for surface impoundments and landfills; self-implementing Utilities and environmental groups challenging rule; possibly court decision by end 2016 ˃ Beneficial use versus disposal defined Prevents “sham recycling” Encapsulated use: E.g., cement, concrete, wallboard Unencapsulated use: E.g., structural fill, road- based, soil amendment
18
Beneficial Use of CCR Exempt Bevill Amendment Retained ˃ Beneficial use must meet 4 criterion for encapsulated and unencapsulated uses: Provides functional benefit Replaces virgin material/conserves natural resources Meets relevant product specs, or standards Storage controls/documentation (>12,400 tons) for unencapsulated (placement on land) ˃ EPA demonstrated 4 criterion for fly ash in concrete and wallboard ˃ More EPA guidance pending on methodology
