Section V-4529 - Monitoring and Inspections

A. The owner or operator must conduct, as a minimum, the following monitoring and inspections when thermally treating hazardous waste:

1. existing instruments which relate to temperature and emission control (if an emission control device is present), must be monitored at least every 15 minutes. Appropriate corrections to maintain steady state or other appropriate thermal treatment conditions must be made immediately, either automatically or by the operator. Instruments which relate to temperature and emission control would normally include those measuring waste feed, auxiliary fuel feed, treatment process temperature, and relevant process flow and level controls;

2. visual observation of the stack plume (emissions), where present, at least hourly for normal appearance (color and opacity). The operator must immediately make any indicated operating corrections necessary to return any visible emissions to their normal appearance; and

3. inspection of the complete thermal treatment process and associated equipment (pumps, valves, conveyors, pipes, etc.) at least daily for leaks, spills, and fugitive emissions, and all emergency shutdown controls and system alarms must be checked to assure proper operation.
