40 CFR § 464.14 - 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 Cleaning Operations.
NSPS
1 Within the range of 7.0 to 10.0 at all times.
1 kg/1,000 kkg (pounds per million pounds) of metal poured.
2 These concentrations must be multiplied by the ratio of (12/x) where x is the actual normalized process wastewater flow (in gallons per 1,000 pounds of metal poured) for a specific plant.
3 Within the range of 7.0 to 10.0 at all times.
(b) Casting Quench Operations.
NSPS
1 Within the range of 7.0 to 10.0 at all times.
1 kg/1,000 kkg (pounds per million pounds) of metal poured.
2 These concentrations must be multiplied by the ratio of (1.45/x) where x is the actual normalized process wastewater flow (in gallons per 1,000 pounds of metal poured) for a specific plant.
3 Within the range of 7.0 to 10.0 at all times.
(c) Die Casting Operations.
NSPS
1 Within the range of 7.0 to 10.0 at all times.
1 kg/1,000 kkg (pounds per million pounds) of metal poured.
2 These concentrations must be multiplied by the ratio of (1.04/x) where x is the actual normalized process wastewater flow (in gallons per 1,000 pounds of metal poured)
3 Within the range of 7.0 to 10.0 at all times.
(d) Dust Collection Scrubber Operations.
NSPS
1 Within the range of 7.0 to 10.0 at all times.

3 Within the range of 7.0 to 10.0 at all times.
(e) Grinding Scrubber Operations. No discharge of process wastewater pollutants to navigable waters.
(f) Investment Casting.

1 Within the range of 7.0 to 10.0 at all times.
1 kg/1,000 kkg (pounds per million pounds) of metal poured
2 These concentrations must be multiplied by the ratio of (1,320/x) where x is the actual normalized process wastewater flow (in gallons per 1,000 pounds of metal poured) for a specific plant.
3 Within the range of 7.0 to 10.0 at all times.
(g) Melting Furnace Scrubber Operations.
NSPS
1 Within the range of 7.0 to 10.0 at all times.

2 These concentrations must be multiplied by the ratio of (0.468/x) where x is the actual normalized process wastewater flow (in gallons per 1,000 SCF of air scrubbed) for a specific plant.
3 Within the range of 7.0 to 10.0 at all times.
(h) Mold Cooling Operations.
NSPS
1 Within the range of 7.0 to 10.0 at all times.
1 kg/1,000 kkg (pounds per million pounds of metal poured.
