§ 66264.347. Monitoring and Inspections.

(a) The owner or operator shall conduct, as a minimum, the following monitoring while incinerating hazardous waste.

(1) Combustion temperature, waste feed rate, and the indicator of combustion gas velocity specified in the facility permit shall be monitored on a continuous basis.

(2) CO shall be monitored on a continuous basis at a point in the incinerator downstream of the combustion zone and prior to release to the atmosphere.

(3) Upon request by the Department, sampling and analysis of the waste and exhaust emissions shall be conducted to verify that the operating requirements established in the permit achieve the performance standards of section 66264.343.

(b) The incinerator and associated equipment (pumps, valves, conveyors, pipes, etc.) shall be subjected to thorough visual inspection, at least daily, for leaks, spills, fugitive emissions, and signs of tampering.

(c) The emergency waste feed cutoff system and associated alarms shall be tested at least weekly to verify operability, unless the applicant demonstrates to the Department that weekly inspections will unduly restrict or upset operations and that less frequent inspection will be adequate. At a minimum, operational testing shall be conducted at least monthly.

(d) This monitoring and inspection data shall be recorded and the records shall be placed in the operating log required by section 66264.73.
