Appendix - Table 2 to Subpart VVVV—Emission Limitations for New Large Municipal Waste Combustors

For the air pollutant	If your affected facility is a new large municipal waste combustor, you must meet this emission limit, corrected to 7 percent oxygen ^a
Particulate matter	5.1 mg/dscm.
Opacity	10 percent opacity (6-minute block average).
Cadmium	2.3 ug/dscm.
Lead	23 ug/dscm.
Mercury	32 ug/dscm or 85 percent reduction by weight.
Sulfur dioxide	14 parts per million by volume dry basis or 79 percent reduction by weight or volume (daily 24-hour geometric average).
Hydrogen chloride	7.2 parts per million by volume dry basis or 98 percent reduction by weight or volume.
Dioxins/furans	11 nanograms per dry standard cubic meter (total mass).
Nitrogen oxides	50 parts per million by volume dry basis (daily 24-hour arithmetic average).

^a Measured at the combustor outlet in conjunction with a measurement of oxygen concentration. CEMS data during warmup, startup, and shutdown, as defined in this subpart, are not corrected to 7 percent oxygen, and are used as measured. The averaging times are specified in greater detail in § 60.5940.
