PART 464--METAL MOLDING AND CASTING POINT SOURCE CATEGORY--Table of Contents
 
                   Subpart D--Zinc Casting Subcategory
 
Sec. 464.44  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 Sm3 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.
