CHAPTER 2

PROJECT PLANNING

2-1. PROJECT MANAGEMENT. Project management's role in waste management planning

activities is critical when incineration is being considered as an alternative, as municipal waste

combustor projects bring together and focus the concerns of multiple agencies within federal,

state, and local governments as few projects can.

2-2. ENVIRONMENTAL AND TECHNICAL COORDINATION. Incineration projects require

close coordination between the environmental regulations and the technical requirements of

the project. Assumptions used in environmental assessments must be coincidental with the

technology used and ultimately the performance of the equipment which becomes integral to

the plant.

2-3. DESIGN TEAM. The design team will by necessity consist of more individual technical

disciplines than traditional facility design. Environmental engineers and biologists will need to

rely on emission, discharge, and other technical data provided by the plant/equipment

designers, just as the plant/equipment designers will need to have performance parameters

which, for environmental assessment needs, may exceed nominal regulatory limits.

2-4. FEDERAL REGULATIONS. Under 40 CFR, the following regulations must be

considered:

Subchapter C - Air Programs
