(a) Calendar date of each record.
(b) Records of the data described in paragraphs (b)(1) through (10) of this section.
(1) The OSWI unit charge dates, times, weights, and total daily charge rates.
(2) The combustion chamber operating temperature every 15 minutes of operation.
(3) For each OSWI unit with a wet scrubber, the liquor flow rate to the wet scrubber inlet, pressure drop across the wet scrubber system or amperage to the wet scrubber, and liquor pH at the outlet of the wet scrubber, every 15 minutes of operation.
(4) For each OSWI unit with a dry scrubber, the injection rate of each sorbent, every 15 minutes of operation.
(5) For each OSWI unit with an electrostatic precipitator, the secondary voltage, secondary current, and secondary electric power, every 15 minutes of operation.
(6) For each OSWI unit with a fabric filter, the date, time, and duration of each alarm; the times corrective action was initiated and completed; and a brief description of the cause of the alarm and the corrective action taken. You must also record the percent of the operating time during each 6-month period that the alarm sounds, calculated as specified in § 60.2916(f).
(7) For OSWI units that establish operating limits for controls under § 60.2917, you must maintain data collected for all operating parameters used to determine compliance with the operating limits.
(8) For OSWI units that use a carbon monoxide CEMS, all 1-hour average concentrations of carbon monoxide and oxygen.
(9) All 12-hour rolling average values of carbon monoxide emissions, corrected to 7 percent oxygen (except during periods of startup and shutdown), all 3-hour rolling average values of continuously monitored operating parameters, and total daily charge rates, as applicable.
(10) Records of the dates, times, and durations of any bypass of the control device.
(c) Records of the start date and time and duration in hours of each malfunction of operation (i.e., process equipment) or the air pollution control and monitoring equipment, and description of the malfunction.
(d) Records of actions taken during periods of malfunction to minimize emissions in accordance with § 60.11(d), including corrective actions to restore malfunctioning process and air pollution control and monitoring equipment to its normal or usual manner of operation.
(e) Start date, start time, and duration in hours for each period for which monitoring data show a deviation from the carbon monoxide emissions limit in table 1, 1a, or 1b to this subpart, a deviation from the operating limits in table 2 to this subpart, or a deviation from other operating limits established under § 60.2917. Include a description of the deviation, reasons for the deviation, and a description of corrective actions taken. You must record the start date, start time, and duration in hours for each period when all qualified operators were not accessible in accordance with § 60.2911.
(f) Calendar dates when continuous monitoring systems did not collect the minimum amount of data required under §§ 60.2942 and 60.2945.
(g) For carbon monoxide continuous emissions monitoring systems, document the results of your annual performance evaluations, daily drift tests and quarterly accuracy determinations according to Procedure 1 of Appendix F to this part.
(h) Records of the calibration of any monitoring devices required under § 60.2944.
(i) The results of the initial, annual, and any subsequent performance tests conducted to determine compliance with the emission limits and/or to establish operating limits, as applicable. Retain a copy of the complete test report including calculations and a description of the types of waste burned during the test.
(j) All documentation produced as a result of the siting requirements of §§ 60.2894 and 60.2895.
(k) Records showing the names of OSWI unit operators who have completed review of the information in § 60.2910(a) as required by § 60.2910(b), including the date of the initial review and all subsequent annual reviews.
(l) Records showing the names of the OSWI unit operators who have completed the operator training requirements under § 60.2905, met the criteria for qualification under § 60.2907, and maintained or renewed their qualification under § 60.2908 or § 60.2909. Records must include documentation of training, the dates of the initial and refresher training, and the dates of their qualification and all subsequent renewals of such qualifications.
(m) For each qualified operator, the phone and/or pager number at which they can be reached during operating hours.
(n) Equipment vendor specifications and related operation and maintenance requirements for the incinerator, emission controls, and monitoring equipment.
(o) The information listed in § 60.2910(a).
(p) If you comply with the substitute means of compliance demonstration requirements in § 60.2929, you must keep the records specified in paragraphs (p)(1) through (4) of this section.
(1) Copy of the notification submitted to the Administrator that you intend to use the substitute means of compliance demonstration as required in § 60.2929(a)(1).
(2) Records of the data collected as required in § 60.2929(a)(2).
(3) Copy of the representative performance test used to demonstrate initial compliance; and
(4) Documentation of how the test in paragraph (p)(3) of this section is representative of the unit as required in § 60.2929(b)(2).
(q) If you comply with the continuous compliance requirements of § 60.2932(d), you must keep records of the following elements:
(1) Start and end times the unit is operated when waste is being combusted.
(2) Total mass of waste burned for each waste category (i.e., identity and weight of each waste category such as solid waste, food waste, wood or yard waste), summed for each calendar quarter.
(3) Total mass of waste burned each calendar quarter.
(4) The amount of waste burned in each waste category as a percentage of total waste burned each calendar quarter.
(5) Waste profile established under § 60.2916(g).
(6) Temperature of unit combustion chamber and description of where temperature is measured, as a 3-hour average for each batch operation.
