Section 229.166  Monitoring Requirements for Small, Medium, and Large HMIWIs

a)         Once the initial performance test required by Section 229.142 of this Part has been performed, and the site-specific minimum and maximum operating parameter values have been established, the owner or operator of a small, medium or large HMIWI shall continuously monitor those parameters.

b)         The owner or operator of a small, medium or large HMIWI shall comply with the following monitoring requirements:

1)         Install, calibrate according to manufacturer's specifications, maintain, and operate devices or establish methods for monitoring the applicable maximum and minimum operating parameters specified in Appendix B of this Part such that these devices or methods measure and record values for these operating parameters at the frequencies indicated in Appendix B of this Part at all times, except during periods of startup and shutdown;

2)         Install, calibrate according to manufacturer's specifications, maintain, and operate a device or establish a method for identifying the use of the bypass stack, including date, time, and duration of use;

3)         If control equipment other than a dry scrubber followed by a fabric filter, a wet scrubber, or a dry scrubber followed by a fabric filter and a wet scrubber is used to comply with the emission limits under Section 229.125(b) of this Part, install, calibrate according to manufacturer's specifications, maintain, and operate the equipment necessary to monitor the site-specific operating parameters developed and approved pursuant to Section 229.142(e) of this Part; and

4)         Record monitoring data at all times during HMIWI operation, except during the periods of monitoring equipment malfunction, calibration, or repair.  At a minimum, valid monitoring data shall be recorded for 75 percent of the operating hours per day and for 90 percent of the operating days per calendar quarter that an HMIWI is combusting hospital waste or medical/infectious waste.
