To measure the following pollutants	Use the following methods in appendix A of this part to determine the sampling location	Use the methods in appendix A of this part to measure pollutant concentration	Also note the following additional information
1. Organics:
Dioxins/Furans	Method 1	Method 23 ^a	The minimum sampling time must be 4 hours per test run while the municipal waste combustion unit is operating at full load.
2. Metals:
Cadmium	Method 1	Method 29 ^a	Compliance testing must be performed while the municipal waste combustion unit is operating at full load.
Lead	Method 1	Method 29 ^a	Compliance testing must be performed while the municipal waste combustion unit is operating at full load.
Mercury	Method 1	Method 29 ^a	Compliance testing must be performed while the municipal waste combustion unit is operating at full load.
