98. The operator of fuel burning equipment or an industrial furnace in respect of which subparagraph 5 of the first paragraph of section 90 or subparagraph 3 or 4 of the second paragraph of section 92 prescribes a destruction and removal efficiency percentage for certain contaminants must calculate the destruction and removal efficiency at least once a year in accordance with the fourth paragraph of section 90, and for that purpose, take samples of the contaminants and measure each of the parameters necessary for the calculation.

If the composition of a fuel consisting of a residual hazardous material or a fuel other than that referred to in Divisions III and IV of this Chapter if the total halogen content at the feed point is greater than 0.15% by weight is modified after the calculation of the destruction and removal efficiency referred to in the first paragraph by the introduction of an organic compound that is more thermally stable than the compound for which the destruction and removal efficiency has been calculated, the operator must immediately carry out a new sampling and calculation of the destruction and removal efficiency for that compound.

In addition, the operator must carry out the first sampling and calculation within 1 year as of 30 June 2011 in the case of existing equipment or a furnace or, in the case of new equipment or a new furnace, within 1 year as of the date on which the equipment or furnace is put into operation.
