N.H. Code Admin. R. Env-A 3505.02 – Emission Limits for Small, Medium, and Large HMIWI

(a) All small, medium, and large HMIWI units shall comply with the emission limitations set forth in Table 3500-2 in (c), below.
(b) For purposes of Table 3500-2 in (c), below, when there is a choice between units of measurement for any of the pollutants listed, the HMIWI operator or owner shall choose the units of measurement that applies most closely to the individual HMIWI unit.
(c) The emission limits for small, medium, and large HMIWI shall be as set forth in Table 3500-2 below, based on 7 percent oxygen, dry basis:

(d) On or after the initial performance test is completed or required to be completed, whichever comes first, no owner or operator of a small, medium, or large HMIWI unit shall cause to be discharged into the atmosphere from that HMIWI unit any gases that exhibit greater than 10 percent opacity, measured by 6 minute block average using method 9 from 40 CFR 60 Appendix A.
(e) The emission limits for small, medium, or large HMIWI under this chapter shall apply at all times except during periods of startup, shutdown, or malfunction, provided that no hospital waste or medical/infectious waste is charged to the HMIWI unit during startup, shutdown, or malfunction.
