  • To measure the following pollutantsUse the following methods in appendix A of this part to determine the sampling locationUse the methods in appendix A of this part to measure pollutant concentrationAlso note the following additional information
    1. Organics:
    Dioxins/FuransMethod 1Method 23aThe minimum sampling time must be 4 hours per test run while the municipal waste combustion unit is operating at full load.
    2. Metals:
    CadmiumMethod 1Method 29aCompliance testing must be performed while the municipal waste combustion unit is operating at full load.
    LeadMethod 1Method 29aCompliance testing must be performed while the municipal waste combustion unit is operating at full load.
    MercuryMethod 1Method 29aCompliance testing must be performed while the municipal waste combustion unit is operating at full load.
    OpacityMethod 9Method 9Use Method 9 to determine compliance with opacity limit. 3-hour observation period (thirty 6-minute averages).
    Particulate MatterMethod 1Method 5aThe minimum sample Matter volume must be 1.0 cubic meters. The probe and filter holder heating systems in the sample train must be set to provide a gas temperature no greater than 160 ±14 °C. The minimum sampling time is 1 hour.
    3. Acid Gases:b
    Hydrogen ChlorideMethod 1Method 26 or 26AaTest runs must be at least 1 hour long while the municipal waste combustion unit is operating at full load.
    4. Other:b
    Fugitive AshNot applicableMethod 22 (visible emissions)The three 1-hour observation period must include periods when the facility transfers fugitive ash from the municipal waste combustion unit to the area where the fugitive ash is stored or loaded into containers or trucks.

    aMust simultaneously measure oxygen (or carbon dioxide) using Method 3A or 3B in appendix A of this part.

    bUse CEMS to test sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and carbon monoxide. Stack tests are not required except for quality assurance requirements in appendix F of this part.
