Introduction:

OnApril29,2010,U.S.EPAproposedinterrelatedrulesregardingsolidwastes,boilers/processheaters,andcommercialandinstitutionalsolidwasteincinerators(CISWI).Thesewagesludgeincineration(SSI)rulewasproposedonOctober14,2010.

Thefinaldecisiononthenonhazardoussolidwastedefinitionwilldeterminewhetheragivenfacilityisregulatedasaboilerorasawastecombustor.InJune2007,theU.S.CourtofAppealsrejectedEPA’sstandards,citingCAAlanguagethat“anyfacilityburninganysolidwaste”istoberegulatedasawastecombustor,notaboiler.Thelegalrequirementsundertheproposedboilerandwastecombustorrulesdifferandmayresultindifferentairpollutioncontrolrequirements.

Sincethecourtvacaturoftheserulesin2007,U.S.EPArequestedinformationfromapproximately3,000boilerand500suspectedCISWIunitsandconductedemissionstestingatafractionofthesefacilities.SomeboilerselectedtoceaseburningsecondarymaterialstoavoidbeingclassifiedasasolidwastecombustorundertheproposedCISWIrule.Thedatafromtheemissionstestingwasevaluatedtodeterminealevelofcontrolfortheproposedstandards.

TheCleanAirAct(CAA)createdtwodifferentrequirementsforboilers(sec.112)andcommercialandindustrialsolidwasteincineration(CISWI)units(sec.129).Undersection112oftheCAA,boilersarecategorizedasmajorandareasources.Majorsourcesincludethosethatemit10tonsperyearofanyoneairtoxicor25tonsperyearofallairtoxics.MaximumAchievableControlTechnology(MACT)standardsmustbesetforallemittedtoxicairpollutants.Areasourcesincludesourcesthatemitlessthanthe10/25tonsperyearthresholdforairtoxicsemissions,andthesesourcesmayberegulatedbasedonthelessstringentGenerallyAchievableControlTechnologystandards(GACT).However,certainpollutants(e.g.,mercuryandpolycyclicorganicmatter)mustberegulatedbasedonMACTstandardsfromthesesources.CISWIunitsareregulatedundersection129oftheCAAandstandardshavebeensetfor9specificairpollutants.ThereisnoprovisionunderthissectionoftheCAAwhichauthorizesGACTforsmallersources.
