The New Source Performance Standards
(NSPS) for Incinerators (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart E) apply to
existing incinerators that charge more than 45 metric tons per day
(50 tons per day) of solid waste, and that commenced either
construction or modification after August 17, 1971. Solid waste is
defined as refuse, more than 50 percent of which is municipal type
waste consisting of a mixture of paper, wood, yard wastes, food
wastes, plastics, leather, rubber, and other combustibles, and
noncombustible materials such as glass and rock. Owners and
operators of existing incinerators that charge more than 45 metric
tons per day (50 tons per day) of solid waste, and that commenced
construction or modification after August 17, 1971 are required to
comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the
General Provisions (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart A), as well as for the
applicable standards in 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart E. This includes
submitting initial notifications, performance tests and periodic
reports and results, and maintaining records of the occurrence and
duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation
of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring
system is inoperative. These reports are used by EPA to determine
compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart E.
