                  Subpart B--Copper Casting Subcategory
 
Sec. 464.24  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/
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 Quench Operations.
