75-2-230. Commercial hazardous waste incinerators -- additional permit requirements

75-2-230. Commercial hazardous waste incinerators -- additional permit requirements. (1) In addition to the requirements under 75-2-231, the department shall require the owner or operator of an existing commercial hazardous waste incinerator or an applicant for an air quality permit for a commercial hazardous waste incinerator to submit a plan that requires the cessation of the burning of hazardous waste if site-specific monitoring determines that inversion conditions, as defined by department rule, exist. The department shall consider the proximity of the commercial hazardous waste incinerator to populated areas when determining the appropriate plan content. The plan must include a site-specific ambient air quality and meteorological monitoring program in order to establish the conditions under which the burning of commercial hazardous waste must be halted and conditions under which the burning of commercial hazardous waste may be resumed. Conditions of the plan must be incorporated as a condition of the facility's permit.
(2) When, because of the proximity of a commercial hazardous waste incinerator to populated areas, the department determines that continuing monitoring is appropriate, the department shall require the owner or operator of an existing commercial hazardous waste incinerator or an applicant for an air quality permit for a commercial hazardous waste incinerator to provide telemetering service to the department with an immediate notification system activated when emissions approach or exceed permitted limits.
