PART 464--METAL MOLDING AND CASTING POINT SOURCE CATEGORY--Table of Contents
 
                 Subpart C--Ferrous Casting Subcategory
 
Sec. 464.34  New source performance standards.

    Any new source subject to this subpart must achieve the following 
new source performance standards (NSPS), except that non-continuous 
dischargers shall not be subject to the maximum day and maximum for 
monthly average mass (kg/1,000 kkg or lb/million lb of metal poured; kg/
1,000 kkg or lb/million lb of sand reclaimed; kg/62.3 million Sm\3\ or 
lb/billion SCF of air scrubbed) effluent standards for copper, lead, 
zinc, total phenols, oil and grease, and TSS. For non-continuous 
dischargers, annual average mass standards and maximum day and maximum 
for monthly average concentration (mg/l) standards shall apply. 
Concentration standards and annual average mass standards shall only 
apply to non-continuous dischargers.
    (a) Casting Cleaning Operations. (1) Applicable to plants that are 
casting primarily ductile or gray iron and to plants that are casting 
primarily malleable iron where greater than 3,557 tons of metal are 
poured per year.
