CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED)
PART 57--PRIMARY NONFERROUS SMELTER ORDERS--Table of Contents
Subpart E--Fugitive Emission Evaluation and Control
Sec. 57.502 Evaluation.
(a) Evaluation at the time of application. Any smelter owner may
demonstrate at the time of application for an NSO that the smelter's
SO2 fugitive emissions will not cause or significant
contribute to violations of the NAAQS in the smelter's DLA. If such
demonstration is not made, the smelter owner shall submit the design and
workplan for a study adequate to assess the sources of significant
fugitive emissions from the smelter and their effects upon ambient air
quality.
(b) Evaluation during the first 6 months of the NSO. The design and
workplan of the study shall be approved, if adequate, by the issuing
agency and included in the NSO. The study shall commence no later than
the date when the NSO becomes effective and an analysis of its results
shall be submitted to the issuing agency within 6 months of the
effective date of the NSO. The study shall include an appropriate period
during which the ambient air shall be monitored to determine the impact
of fugitive emissions of sulfur dioxide, arsenic (at copper smelters
only), lead (at lead and zinc smelters only), and total suspended
particulates on the ambient air quality in the smelter's DLA.
