TITLE 40--PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT
CHAPTER I--ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED)
PART 57--PRIMARY NONFERROUS SMELTER ORDERS--Table of Contents
Subpart G--Compliance Schedule Requirements
Sec. 57.702 Compliance with constant control emission limitation.
(a) This section applies to all smelters which receive an NSO, but
only to the extent this section is compatible with any SIP compliance
schedule required by Secs. 57.201(d)(2) and 57.705.
(b) Any NSO issued to a smelter not required to immediately comply
with the requirements of subpart G under Sec. 57.701 shall contain a
schedule for compliance with those requirements as expeditiously as
practicable but in no case later than 6 months from the effective date
of the NSO, except as follows: Where a waiver is requested in accordance
with subpart H, an NSO may be issued without a schedule for compliance
with the requirements for which a waiver is being considered consistent
with subpart H, pending a final decision on the request under subpart H.
If a waiver is requested in accordance with subpart H, compliance with
the requirements of subpart C which were deferred as a result of such
request shall be achieved as expeditiously as practicable after, but in
no case later than 6 months from a final decision by the issuing agency
to deny a waiver under subpart H or disapproval by EPA of a waiver
granted by the issuing agency. The time limits specified herein may be
extended only if a smelter operator demonstrates that special
circumstances warrant more time, in which case the compliance schedule
shall require compliance as expeditiously as practicable. An NSO which
does not contain a schedule for compliance with all the requirements of
subpart C because a waiver has been requested in accordance with subpart
H shall be amended in accordance with Sec. 57.104 within three months
after a final decision under subpart H so as to either grant a waiver of
any remaining requirements of subpart C, or deny such a waiver and place
the smelter on a compliance schedule for meeting those requirements. If
the issuing agency grants a waiver and such waiver is disapproved by
EPA, the issuing agency shall promptly amend
[[Page 152]]
the NSO so as to place the smelter on a compliance schedule meeting any
remaining requirements of subpart C.
(c) Any schedule required under this section shall contain the
following information and increments of progress to the extent
applicable:
(1) Description of the overall design of the SO2 control
system(s) to be installed;
(2) Descriptions of specific process hardware to be used in
achieving compliance with interim SO2 constant controls
including gas capacity values;
(3) The date by which contracts will be let or purchase orders
issued to accomplish any necessary performance improvements;
(4) The date for initiating on-site construction or installation of
necessary equipment;
(5) The date by which on-site construction or installation of
equipment is to be completed; and
(6) The date for achievement of final compliance with interim
emission limitations.
