Article 45
Emission Standards for Commercial/Industrial Solid Waste Incinerators (Rule 4-45)
A. The affected facilities to which the provisions of this article apply are (i) commercial/industrial solid waste incinerator (CISWI) units and air curtain incinerators that commenced construction on or before November 30, 1999; (ii) CISWI units and air curtain incinerators that commenced construction after November 30, 1999, but on or before June 4, 2010, or that commenced reconstruction or modification on or after June 1, 2001, but no later than August 7, 2013; or (iii) CISWI units other than incinerator units that commenced construction before June 4, 2010.
B. The provisions of this article apply throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia.
C. Exempted from the provisions of this article are those units that meet the criteria listed in 40 CFR 60.2555.
D. The provisions of this article do not apply to a CISWI unit if the owner makes changes that meet the definition of modification or reconstruction after August 7, 2013, at which point the CISWI unit becomes subject to subpart CCCC of 40 CFR Part 60.
E. If the owner makes physical or operational changes to an existing CISWI unit primarily to comply with this article, subpart CCCC of 40 CFR Part 60 does not apply to that unit. Such changes do not qualify as modifications or reconstructions under subpart CCCC of 40 CFR Part 60.
F. Each owner shall submit an application for a federal operating permit in accordance with the provisions of 40 CFR 60.2805. Owners to whom this section applies should contact the appropriate regional office for guidance on applying for a federal (Title V) operating permit.
G. The requirement under 40 CFR 60.2555(g)(1) with regard to obtaining a permit under § 3005 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act (42 USC § 6901 et seq.) may be met by obtaining a permit from the department as required by 9VAC5-60 (Hazardous Air Pollutant Sources).
