Emission Guidelines for Existing Commerce and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units (40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD) (Renewal)

The Emission Guidelines for Existing Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart DDDD) fulfill the requirements of sections 111 and 129 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), and affect the administrator of an air quality program in a state or United States protectorate with one or more existing commercial and industrial solid waste incineration (CISWI) units. These regulations apply to sources commencing construction on or before June 4, 2010 or to sources commencing modification or reconstruction between June 1, 2001 and August 7, 2013. The guidelines do not apply directly to CISWI unit owners and operators, since they are implemented through state implementation plans (SIP). If a state does not develop, adopt, and submit an approved state plan, or if a states plan is not approved, the EPA must promulgate a Federal implementation plan to implement the emission guidelines in a state without its own SIP. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart DDDD. In general, all emission guidelines standards require initial notification reports, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain 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 notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to the emission guidelines.
