Permitted Activities

The permittee is allowed to discharge air contaminants from processes and activities related to the air contaminant source(s) listed on the first page of this permit until this permit expires, is modified, revoked or rescinded as long as the permittee complies with the conditions of this permit.

2.1  Production limits

The permittee is prohibited from cremating 20 or more tons of material per year without first applying for and being assigned to a General Air Contaminant Discharge Permit AQGP-012.

2.2  Visible emission limits

No visible emissions may be present except for one 6 minute period per hour of not more than 20% opacity as measured by EPA Method 9.

2.3  Particulate Matter Emissions

Particulate matter must not exceed 0.080 grains per dry standard cubic foot of exhaust gases corrected to 7% O₂ at standard conditions.

2.4  Work Practices

The permittee may not burn any material other than human and/or animal bodies and materials normally used in cremations in the incinerator(s). No other waste, including infectious waste as defined in OAR 340-230-0030 may be incinerated unless approved in advance by DEQ.

2.5  Temperature Requirements

The permittee must comply with the following standards:

a.  For incinerators installed prior to March 13, 1993, the exit temperature at the final chamber must be at or above 1600°F with a residence time of at least 0.5 seconds. The temperature in the final chamber must be 1200°F prior to igniting the primary burner.

b.  For incinerators installed or modified on or after March 13, 1993, the exit temperature at the final chamber must be at or above 1800°F with a residence time of at least 0.5 seconds. The temperature in the final chamber must be 1400°F prior to igniting the primary burner.

2.6  Operator Training

The incinerator(s) must be operated at all times under the direction of individuals who have received training necessary for proper operation. The following must be available on-site at all times for DEQ inspection:

a.  A description of a DEQ approved training program. New facilities must submit a description of the operator training program to DEQ for approval within 60 days after the permit is assigned.

b.  A written statement signed by each operator stating that the operator has undergone and understood the training program.

2.7  Fugitive Emissions

The permittee must take reasonable precautions for preventing fugitive dust emissions.

a.  The permittee must prepare and implement site-specific plans for the control of fugitive emissions in accordance with OAR 340-240-.

b.  The permittee must prepare and implement an operation and maintenance plan in accordance with OAR 340-240-.

2.8  Particulate Matter Fallout

The permittee must not cause or permit the emission of any particulate matter larger than 250 microns in size at sufficient duration or quantity, as to create an observable deposition upon the real property of another person.

2.9  Nuisance and Odors

The permittee must not cause or allow air contaminants from any source to cause a nuisance. Nuisance conditions will be verified by DEQ personnel.

2.10  Other Regulations

3.3  Temperature Monitoring Requirement

All crematory incinerators must operate and maintain continuous monitoring for final combustion chamber exit temperature. The monitoring device must be installed and operated in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, and must be located in an area of the secondary combustion chamber that will allow evaluation of compliance with temperature requirements in Condition 2.5.

4.1  Records

The permittee must maintain records of the following information for at least five years from the date of the record:
