non-hazardous waste incineration

Non-hazardous waste incineration of more than 26 tonnes in one year is a specified activity.

Non-hazardous waste incineration is one of the specified activities as long as 26 tonnes or more are incinerated during the reporting year.

The general equation that is used for estimating uncontrolled emission from non-hazardous waste incineration is:

Sources include hazardous and non-hazardous waste incineration, beehive and conical burners (i.e. barrel burning), magnesium production, wood preservation and the production of chlorinated monomers.

Reporting is required by facilities used for the "non-hazardous waste incineration of 26 tonnes or more of waste per year", regardless of the number of hours worked by employees.

Even if fully applied by producers of special waste, these monitoring procedures cannot be incorporated into the procedures that are carried out when receiving non-hazardous waste at non-hazardous waste incineration facilities.
