Section 096-403-4 - Design Standards for Incineration FacilitiesAll incineration facilities licensed under this chapter must meet the following design standards:
A. Facility design capacity must take into account waste quantity, characteristics, BTU value and gross calorific value; variations in waste generation; equipment downtime; and availability of alternate storage, processing, or disposal capability.B. Instrumentation must be provided to accurately determine the weight of incoming and outgoing materials.C. Sampling capability must be designed into the facility for each waste stream required to be sampled as part of the facility monitoring program. The sampling sites must be so designed that personnel can sample safely without interfering with normal plant operations.D. Areas must be provided for storage of wastes while they await incineration or disposal. Putrescible waste storage must be in an enclosed building or in covered, leakproof containers.E. All incineration facilities must be designed and operated to collect, store and handle incinerator ash in enclosed buildings, or the equivalent (e.g., covered conveyors and transfer points, leakproof containers, tanks) to prevent fugitive dust emissions and to prevent direct exposure of the ash to the weather during collection, storage, and handling.F. Special areas must be provided for the storage of any hazardous and non-permitted special wastes that are inadvertently delivered to the facility. Storage must be in a building or in covered leakproof containers.G. All hazardous and special waste storage areas must be constructed so that they are large enough and physically and chemically compatible with the volumes and types of wastes to be stored there.06- 096 C.M.R. ch. 403, § 4
