(a) Class I units. If you plan to achieve compliance more than 1 year following the effective date of State plan approval and a permit modification is not required, or more than 1 year following the date of issuance of a revised construction or operation permit if a permit modification is required, you must meet five increments of progress:
(1) Submit a final control plan.
(2) Submit a notification of retrofit contract award.
(3) Initiate onsite construction.
(4) Complete onsite construction.
(5) Achieve final compliance.
(b) Class II units. If you plan to achieve compliance more than 1 year following the effective date of State plan approval and a permit modification is not required, or more than 1 year following the date of issuance of a revised construction or operation permit if a permit modification is required, you must meet two increments of progress:
(1) Submit a final control plan.
(2) Achieve final compliance.
Table 1 of this subpart specifies compliance dates for each of the increments of progress for Class I and II units. (See § 60.1940 for definitions of classes.)
Your notification of achievement of increments of progress must include three items:
(a) Notification that the increment of progress has been achieved.
(b) Any items required to be submitted with the increment of progress (§§ 60.1610 through 60.1630).
(c) The notification must be signed by the owner or operator of the municipal waste combustion unit.
Notifications of the achievement of increments of progress must be postmarked no later than 10 days after the compliance date for the increment.
If you fail to meet an increment of progress, you must submit a notification to the Administrator postmarked within 10 business days after the specified date in table 1 of this subpart for achieving that increment of progress. The notification must inform the Administrator that you did not meet the increment. You must include in the notification an explanation of why the increment of progress was not met and your plan for meeting the increment as expeditiously as possible. You must continue to submit reports each subsequent month until the increment of progress is met.
For your control plan increment of progress, you must complete two items:
(a) Submit the final control plan, including a description of the devices for air pollution control and process changes that you will use to comply with the emission limits and other requirements of this subpart.
(b) You must maintain an onsite copy of the final control plan.
You must submit a signed copy of the contracts awarded to initiate onsite construction, initiate onsite installation of emission control equipment, and incorporate process changes. Submit the copy of the contracts with the notification that the increment of progress has been achieved. You do not need to include documents incorporated by reference or the attachments to the contracts.
You must initiate onsite construction and installation of emission control equipment and initiate the process changes outlined in the final control plan.
You must complete onsite construction and installation of emission control equipment and complete process changes outlined in the final control plan.
For the final compliance increment of progress, you must complete two items:
(a) Complete all process changes and complete retrofit construction as specified in the final control plan.
(b) Connect the air pollution control equipment with the municipal waste combustion unit identified in the final control plan and complete process changes to the municipal waste combustion unit so that if the affected municipal waste combustion unit is brought online, all necessary process changes and air pollution control equipment are operating as designed.
(a) If you close your municipal waste combustion unit but will reopen it prior to the final compliance date in your State plan, you must meet the increments of progress specified in § 60.1585.
(b) If you close your municipal waste combustion unit but will restart it after your final compliance date, you must complete emission control retrofit and meet the emission limits and good combustion practices on the date your municipal waste combustion unit restarts operation.
(a) If you plan to close your municipal waste combustion unit rather than comply with the State plan, you must submit a closure notification, including the date of closure, to the Administrator by the date your final control plan is due.
(b) If the closure date is later than 1 year after the effective date of State plan approval, you must enter into a legally binding closure agreement with the Administrator by the date your final control plan is due. The agreement must specify the date by which operation will cease.
