(6) Measuring parameters and establishing limits based on trial burn data-(A) General requirements. As specified in subsections (e)(2) through (e)(5) of this section, each operating parameter shall be measured, and permit limits on the parameter shall be established, according to either of the following procedures:
1. Instantaneous limits. A parameter may be measured and recorded on an instantaneous basis (i.e., the value that occurs at any time) and the permit limit specified as the time-weighted average during all valid runs of the trial burn; or
2. Hourly rolling average.a. The limit for a parameter may be established and continuously monitored on an hourly rolling average basis defined as follows:
(A) A continuous monitor is one which continuously samples the regulated parameter without interruption, and evaluates the detector response at least once each 15 seconds, and computes and records the average value at least every 60 seconds.
(B) An hourly rolling average is the arithmetic mean of the 60 most recent 1- minute average values recorded by the continuous monitoring system.
b. The permit limit for the parameter shall be established on trial burn data as the average over all valid test runs of the highest hourly rolling average value for each run.
(B) Rolling average limits for carcinogenic metals and lead. Feed rate limits for the carcinogenic metals (i.e., arsenic, beryllium, cadmium and chromium) and lead may be established either on an hourly rolling average basis as prescribed by subsection (e)(6)(A) of this section or on (up to) a 24 hour rolling average basis. If the owner or operator elects to use an average period from 2 to 24 hours:
1. The feed rate of each metal shall be limited at any time to ten times the feed rate that would be allowed on an hourly rolling average basis;
2. The continuous monitor shall meet the following specifications:
a. A continuous monitor is one which continuously samples the regulated parameter without interruption, and evaluates the detector response at least once each 15 seconds, and computes and records the average value at least every 60 seconds.
b. The rolling average for the selected averaging period is defined as the arithmetic mean of one hour block averages for the averaging period. A one hour block average is the arithmetic mean of the one minute averages recorded during the 60-minute period beginning at one minute after the beginning of preceding clock hour; and
3. The permit limit for the feed rate of each metal shall be established based on trial burn data as the average over all valid test runs of the highest hourly rolling average feed rate for each run.
(C) Feed rate limits for metals, total chloride and chlorine, and ash. Feed rate limits for metals, total chlorine and chloride, and ash are established and monitored by knowing the concentration of the substance (i.e., metals, chloride/chlorine, and ash) in each feedstream and the flow rate of the feedstream. To monitor the feed rate of these substances, the flow rate of each feedstream shall be monitored under the continuous monitoring requirements of subsections (e)(6)(A) and (B) of this section.
(D) Conduct of trial burn testing. 1. If compliance with all applicable emissions standards of sections 66266.104 through 66266.107 is not demonstrated simultaneously during a set of test runs, the operating conditions of additional test runs required to demonstrate compliance with remaining emissions standards shall be as close as possible to the original operating conditions.
2. Prior to obtaining test data for purposes of demonstrating compliance with the emissions standards of sections 66266.104 through 66266.107 or establishing limits on operating parameters under this section, the facility shall operate under trial burn conditions for a sufficient period to reach steady-state operations. The Director may determine however, that industrial furnaces that recycle collected particulate matter back into the furnace and that comply with an alternative implementation approach for metals under section 66266.106(f) need not reach steady state conditions with respect to the flow of metals in the system prior to beginning compliance testing for metals emissions.
3. Trial burn data on the level of an operating parameter for which a limit shall be established in the permit shall be obtained during emissions sampling for the pollutant(s) (i.e., metals, PM, HCl/Cl2, organic compounds) for which the parameter shall be established as specified by subsection (e) of this section.
(7) General requirements-(A) Fugitive emissions. Fugitive emissions shall be controlled by:
1. Keeping the combustion zone totally sealed against fugitive emissions; or
2. Maintaining the combustion zone pressure lower than atmospheric pressure; or
3. An alternate means of control demonstrated (with part B of the permit application) to provide fugitive emissions control equivalent to maintenance of combustion zone pressure lower than atmospheric pressure.
(B) Automatic waste feed cutoff. A boiler or industrial furnace shall be operated with a functioning system that automatically cuts off the hazardous waste feed when operating conditions deviate from those established under this section. The Director may limit the number of cutoffs per an operating period on a case-by-case basis. In addition:
1. The permit limit for (the indicator of) minimum combustion chamber temperature shall be maintained while hazardous waste or hazardous waste residues remain in the combustion chamber.
2. Exhaust gases shall be ducted to the air pollution control system operated in accordance with the permit requirements while hazardous waste or hazardous waste residues remain in the combustion chamber; and
3. Operating parameters for which permit limits are established shall continue to be monitored during the cutoff, and the hazardous waste feed shall not be restarted until the levels of those parameters comply with the permit limits. For parameters that may be monitored on an instantaneous basis, the Director will establish a minimum period of time after a waste feed cutoff during which the parameter shall not exceed the permit limit before the hazardous waste feed may be restarted.
(C) Changes. A boiler or industrial furnace shall cease burning hazardous waste when changes in combustion properties, or feed rates of the hazardous waste, other fuels, or industrial furnace feedstocks, or changes in the boiler or industrial furnace design or operating conditions deviate from the limits as specified in the permit.
(8) Monitoring and Inspections. (A) The owner or operator shall monitor and record the following, at a minimum, while burning hazardous waste:
1. If specified by the permit, feed rates and composition of hazardous waste, other fuels, and industrial furnace feedstocks, and feed rates of ash, metals, and total chloride and chlorine;
2. If specified by the permit, carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and oxygen on a continuous basis at a common point in the boiler or industrial furnace downstream of the combustion zone and prior to release of stack gases to the atmosphere in accordance with operating requirements specified in subsection (e)(2)(B) of this section. CO, HC, and oxygen monitors shall be installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with methods specified in appendix IX of this chapter.
3. Upon the request of the Director, sampling and analysis of the hazardous waste (and other fuels and industrial furnace feedstocks as appropriate), residues, and exhaust emissions shall be conducted to verify that the operating requirements established in the permit achieve the applicable standards of sections 66266.104, 66266.105, 66266.106, and 66266.107.
(B) All monitors shall record data in units corresponding to the permit limit unless otherwise specified in the permit.
(C) The boiler or industrial furnace and associated equipment (pumps, valves, pipes, fuel storage tanks, etc.) shall be subjected to thorough visual inspection when it contains hazardous waste, at least daily for leaks, spills, fugitive emissions, and signs of tampering.
(D) The automatic hazardous waste feed cutoff system and associated alarms shall be tested at least once every 7 days when hazardous waste is burned to verify operability, unless the applicant demonstrates to the Director that weekly inspections will unduly restrict or upset operations and that less frequent inspections will be adequate. At a minimum, operational testing shall be conducted at least once every 30 days.
(E) These monitoring and inspection data shall be recorded and the records shall be placed in the operating record required by section 66264.73 of chapter 14.
(9) Direct transfer to the burner. If hazardous waste is directly transferred from a transport vehicle to a boiler or industrial furnace without the use of a storage unit, the owner and operator shall comply with section 66266.111.
(10) Recordkeeping. The owner or operator shall keep in the operating record of the facility all information and data required by this section until closure of the facility.
(11) Closure. At closure, the owner or operator shall remove all hazardous waste and hazardous waste residues (including, but not limited to, ash, scrubber waters, and scrubber sludges) from the boiler or industrial furnace.

s 66266.103. Interim Status Standards for Burners.
(a) Purpose, scope, applicability. (1) General. (A) The purpose of this section is to establish minimum state standards for owners and operators of "existing" boilers and industrial furnaces that burn hazardous waste where such standards define the acceptable management of hazardous waste during the period of interim status. The standards of this section apply to owners and operators of existing facilities until either a permit is issued under section 66266.102(d) or until closure responsibilities identified in this section are fulfilled.
(B) "Existing" or "in existence" means a boiler or industrial furnace that on or before August 21, 1991 is either in operation burning or processing hazardous waste or for which construction (including the ancillary facilities to burn or to process the hazardous waste) has commenced. A facility has commenced construction if the owner or operator has obtained the Federal, State, and local approvals or permits necessary to begin physical construction; and either
1. A continuous on-site, physical construction program has begun; or
2. The owner or operator has entered into contractual obligations--which cannot be canceled or modified without substantial loss--for physical construction of the facility to be completed within a reasonable time.
(C) If a boiler or industrial furnace is located at a facility that already has a permit or interim status, then the facility shall comply with the applicable regulations dealing with permit modifications in section 66270.42 or changes in interim status in section 66270.72 of this division.
(2) Exemptions. The requirements of this section do not apply to hazardous waste and facilities exempt under sections 66266.100(b), or 66266.108.
(3) Prohibition on burning dioxin-listed wastes. The following hazardous waste listed for dioxin and hazardous waste derived from any of these wastes may not be burned in a boiler or industrial furnace operating under interim status: F020, F021, F022, F023, F026, and F027.
(4) Applicability of Chapter 15, division 4.5 standards. Owners and operators of boilers and industrial furnaces that burn hazardous waste and are operating under interim status are subject to the following provisions of chapter 15 of this division except as provided otherwise by this section: (continued)
