| 04-15942 | Emission Guidelines and Compliance Times for Large Municipal Waste Combustors That are Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 and Federal Plan Requirements for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 | Rule | We are amending the large municipal waste combustor (MWC) emission guidelines to add a carbon monoxide (CO) emission limit for one type of MWC technology that was not previously addressed. When the large MWC emission guidelines were developed, all existing MWC units using the fluidized bed, mixed fuel (wood/refuse-derived fuel) technology were judged to be small MWC units, i.e., having a design combustion capacity of 35 to 250 tons per day (tpd) of municipal solid waste (MSW). Two existing MWC units have since been determined to be large MWC units, i.e., having a design combustion capacity greater than 250 tpd MSW, and thus subject to the large MWC emission guidelines. The direct final rule amends the emission guidelines to add a CO emission limit specific to this technology. The direct final rule also amends the large MWC Federal plan, which implements the emission guidelines. The CO emission limit being added of 200 parts per million (ppm) by dry volume (24-hour geometric mean) for fluidized bed, mixed fuel (wood/ refuse-derived fuel) type MWC unit is the same CO limit used for this technology in the emission guidelines for small MWC units. Low CO levels indicate good combustion, and thus, good control of other pollutants. Good combustion combined with air pollution control devices significantly reduces the release of air pollutants to the environment. | 2004-07-14 | 2004 | 7 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2004/07/14/04-15942/emission-guidelines-and-compliance-times-for-large-municipal-waste-combustors-that-are-constructed | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-07-14/pdf/04-15942.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | We are amending the large municipal waste combustor (MWC) emission guidelines to add a carbon monoxide (CO) emission limit for one type of MWC technology that was not previously addressed.
