§60.31b Definitions.

Terms used but not defined in this subpart have the meaning given them in the Clean Air Act and subparts A, B, and Eb of this part. Municipal waste combustor plant means one or more municipal waste combustor units at the same location for which construction was commenced on or before September 20, 1994.

Municipal waste combustor plant capacity means the aggregate municipal waste combustor unit capacity of all municipal waste combustor units at a municipal waste combustor plant for which construction was commenced on or before September 20, 1994.

§ 60.32b Designated facilities.

(a) The designated facility to which these guidelines apply is each municipal waste combustor unit located within a municipal waste combustor plant with an aggregate municipal waste combustor plant capacity greater than 35 megagrams per day of municipal solid waste for which construction was commenced on or before September 20,

1994.

(b) Any waste combustion unit at a medical, industrial, or other type of waste combustor plant that is capable of combusting more than 35 megagrams per day of municipal solid waste and is subject to a federally enforceable permit limiting the plantwide maximum amount of municipal solid waste that may be combusted to less than or equal to 10 megagrams per day is not subject to this subpart if the owner or operator:
