Dear Mr. Collette:
The Metropolitan Boston/Northeast Regional Office ("NERO") of The Department of
Environmental Protection., Bureau of Air and Waste, ("MassDEP"), has reviewed your Municipal
Waste Combustor ("MWC") Emission Control Plan ("ECP") Application ("Application"). This
ECP Application details how emission limitations and compliance schedules for the control of
certain designated pollutants according to 310 CMR 7.08(2) ---- Municipal Waste Combustors
("MWCs"), will be implemented for equipment, at the Wheelabrator North Andover, Inc. facility
("Facility") located at 285 Holt Road in North. Andover, Massachusetts. The Application bears
the signature of Mr. Gary Collette as the designated legally responsible official for the Facility.

MWCs, in accordance with the requirements contained in Sections I 11(d) and 129 of the federal
Clean Air Act. As stated in 310 CMR 7.08(2)(d), 310 CMR 7.08(2) establishes requirements for the
following:
Operating Practices (Carbon Monoxide (CO), Flue Gas Temperature,Load Level)
Metals (Mercury(Hg), Lead(Pb), Cadmium(Cd))
Particulate Matter(PM)
Opacity
Organics (Dioxin/Furan)
Acid Gases (Sulfur Dioxide(SO2),Hydrogen Chloride(HCI))
Nitrogen Oxides (NO,,)
Fugitive Ash Emissions
On March 9, 2018, MassDEP promulgated new and amended applicable requirements in the state
MWC Rule at 310 CMR 7.08(2) for large MWCs. As required under the Clean Air Act, the
amendments to 310 CMR 7.08(2) make the state MWC Rule as stringent as the most current
federal Emissions Guidelines (EG) for MWCs at 40 CFR 60, Subpart Cb by: establishing more
stringent emission limits for PM, Cd, Pb, and dioxiih/furan; allowing owners of MWCs more
options for monitoring emissions; and creating new requirements for operating MWCs. This MWC
ECP Application was submitted in accordance with Regulation 310 CMR 7.08(2)0)1. to include
new or amended applicable requirements in 310 CMR 7.08(2)(f).
In accordance with 310 CMR 7.08(2)(e)2., a plan approval under 310 CMR 7.02 is not required in
order to implement the requirements for 310 CMR 7.08(2) unless construction, substantial

In accordance with 310 CMR 7.08(2)(e)1., applicable requirements and limitations contained in
310 CMR 7,08(2) shall not supersede, relax or eliminate any ri-lore stringent conditions or
requirements (e.g. emission limitation(s), testing, record ,keeping, reporting, or monitoring
requirements) established by regulation or contained in a facility's previously issued source specific
plan approval(s) or emission control plan(s).
MassDEP previously issued several plan approvals in accordance with 31.0 CMR 7.02 and a Final
Modified ECP Approval (Application No. MBR-98-ECP-005) in accordance with 310 CMR
7.08(2) to Wheelabrator North Andover Inc. ("the Permittee") for the Facility on September 28,
2007.
In. addition, MassDEP issued a Final Operating Permit (Application No. MBR-95-OPP-012) in
accordance with 31.0 CMR 7.00: Appendix C to the Permittee for the Facility on October 19, 2007.

under 310 CNM7.08(2)(g)l.,2.,3.,5.,and 6., and as specifiedwithin this ECP.
2. The Permittee shall conduct compliance tests for dioxin/furan emissions according to'one of the
schedules specified below,as required by 310 CMR 7.08(2)(g)l.a.andb.:
a.The Permittee shall conduct compliance testing for dioxin/ftiran emissions on all MWC unit(s)on a nine
month basis,or
b. For MWC unit(s) where all compliance tests for all unit(s) over a 27 month period indicate that
dioxin/ftiran emissions are less them or equal to 7 nanograms per dry standard cubic meter total mass
(ng/dscni),corrected to 7 percent(%)oxygen(02),the Permittee may elect to conduct compliance tests for
one unit every nine months.
At a minimum, a compliance test for dioxin/ftiran emissions shall be conducted every nine months
following the previous compliance test for one unit at the MWC plant, Every nine months a different unit
at the MWC plant shall be tested,and the units at the plant shall be tested in sequence,
The Permittee may continue to conduct compliance testing on only one unit per nine month basis so long
as the dioxin/ftiran emissions remain less than or equal to 7 ng/dscm,Corrected to 7%07,

CMR..7.08(2)(02.The optimization test shall be conducted as follows:
a. The optimization tests shall be performed after a change in carbon (or equivalent), upon request by

MassDEP for approval a proposed optirnized carbon (or equivalent) feed rate that minimizes H
emissions. An approvable feed rate is the feed rate such that a higher feed rate achieves insignificant'
additional reductions in Hg emissions compared to the amount of carbon (or equivalent) added. The
carbon (or equivalent) feed rate approved by MassDEP shall be used to operate the carbon injection(o
equivalent)Hg control system until the next optimization test is performed and the feed rate approved.

ammonia or urea for NO,,control shall:
I. conduct ammonia optimization testing to meet the future NO,,limit of 150 ppm by
volume at 7%02 dry basis,and(refer to 310 CMR,7.08(2)(f)5.;a.)
2. submit a report: to MassDEP correlating NO,, emissions and ammonia slip, and
(refer to 310 CMR 7,08(2)(f)5.b.)
3. propose an ammonia emissions limit that MassDEP will review and may modify
before incorporating in the unit's approval, pursuant to the procedures in 310 CMR
7.08(2)0)7. (refer to 31.0 CMR,7.08(2)(f)5 c..)

discharged inside buildings or enclosures of ash conveying systems; however the emission
limit does apply to visible emissions discharged to the atmosphere from buildings or
enclosures of ash conveying systems. This emission limit does not apply during
maintenance and repair of ash conveying systems. Maintenance and repair of the ash
conveying systems must be done in accordance with best management practices.

compliance is achieved. (310 CMR 7.08(2)(f)I.a.iii.)
MWC unit load limit and PM control device temperature limitations may be waived, if prior
approval is granted by MassDEP, for the purposes of evaluating system performance,
testing new technology or control technologies, diagnostic testing, or related activities for
the purpose of improving facility performance provided that there is an improvement in

certified operator is on site, the provisionally certified control room operator may
perform the duties of the certified chief facility operator or certified shift supervisor
without notice to, or approval by, MassDEP. However, the Permittee must record
the period when the certified chief facility operator and certified shift supervisor are
off site and include that information in the annual report as specified under 310
CMR 7.08(2)(i)I.h.
When the certified chief facility operator and certified shift supervisor are both off
site for more than two weeks, and no other certified operator is on site, the

MassDEP every four weeks, begiriiling four weeks following the initial
notification. The Permittee shall include in each status summary a
demonstration that a goad faith effort has been made and continues to be
made to ensure that a certified chief facility operator or certified shift
supervisor is on site. If MassDEP provides notice that the status report or
corrective action summary is disapproved, the MWC unit may continue
operation for ninety days,but then must cease operation. If corrective actions
are taken in the ninety day period such that MassDEP withdraws the
disapproval,MWC unit operation may continue.
3. In accordance with 310. CMR 7.08(2)(f)7.c., the Permittee shall have all chief
facility operators, shift supervisors, and control room operators who have not
obtained an Operator Certificate from ASME complete the National Technical
