    The provisions of this subpart are applicable to discharges 

resulting from the smelting of ferroalloys in open electric furnaces 

with wet air pollution control devices. This subcategory includes those 

electric furnaces of such construction or configuration that the furnace 

off-gases are burned above the furnace charge level by air drawn into 

the system. After combustion the gases are cleaned in a wet air 

pollution control device, such as a scrubber, an electrostatic 

precipitator with water or other aqueous sprays, etc. The provisions of 

this subpart are not applicable to noncontact cooling water or to those 

electric furnaces which are covered, closed, sealed, or semi-covered and 

in which the furnace off-gases are not burned prior to collection 

(regulated in subpart B of this part).
