(a) No person shall operate or cause to be operated any incinerator or control apparatus, or any equipment pertaining thereto, unless a certificate of operation as required by this Section has been issued. The person responsible for such installation, construction, reconstruction or alteration for which an installation permit is required shall notify the Division of Building when the work is completed and ready for final inspection. No incinerator equipment shall be operated for any other purpose or in any manner than that for which the installation permit was approved and/or for which a certificate of operation has been issued. After the installation permit has been issued and it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Division that the incinerator or control apparatus can and shall be operated in compliance with this Chapter, and the manufacturer or installer thereof has certified in writing to the City that it has been installed in strict compliance with the manufacturer's instructions therefor, an initial certificate of operation shall be issued by the Division. Emission tests may be required by the Division before the issuing of a certificate of operation. The certificate of operation shall be kept posted on or near the installation for which it was issued.
The issuance of a certificate of operation shall not operate as a guarantee of immunity from prosecution or other legal action for violations occurring during the period covered by the certificate. Failure to operate under test within the limitations and requirements of this Chapter shall constitute sufficient grounds for ordering changes in the incinerator or control apparatus, or appurtenances thereto, before an initial certificate of operation can be granted. When the Division refuses to issue a certificate of operation, the Division is authorized to seal the incinerator or control apparatus until the person required to procure the certificate of operation has complied with the provisions of this Chapter.
(b) Any person in possession of a certificate of operation for an incinerator shall maintain the certificate readily available on the operating premises. Operating procedures and rated burning capacity of the incinerator shall be posted at a convenient place as near as practical to the point of operation.
(c) Written procedures to be followed for proper operation and maintenance of an incinerator shall be submitted to the Division of Building for review and approval together with the application for a certificate of operation.
