Ill. Admin. Code tit. 35, § 307.7300 - General Provisions
a)
Applicability
1) This Subpart CL applies to
any plastics molding and forming process that introduces or may introduce
process wastewater pollutants into a POTW. Plastics molding and forming
processes include processes that blend, mold, form, or otherwise process
plastic materials into intermediate or final plastic products. They include
commonly recognized processes such as extrusion, molding, coating and
laminating, thermoforming, calendering, casting, foaming, cleaning, and
finishing.
2) Plastics molding and
forming processes (e.g., extrusion and pelletizing) used by plastics resin
manufacturers to process crude intermediate plastic material for shipment
off-site are excluded from this Subpart and regulated under the organic
chemicals, plastics, and synthetic fibers category. Plastics molding and
forming processes used by plastic resin manufacturers to process crude
intermediate plastic materials, which are further processed on-site into
intermediate or final plastics products in molding and forming processes, are
controlled by this Subpart CL.
3)
Processes that coat a plastic material onto a substrate may fall within the
definition of electroplating and metal finished as defined in Subpart N or AH.
These coating processes are excluded from the electroplating and metal
finishing point source categories and are subject to this Subpart CL.
4) Coating of plastic material onto a formed
metal substrate is also covered by this Subpart and is not covered by the
specific metal forming rules such as aluminum forming, copper forming, and
nonferrous metals forming (Subparts CP, CQ, and CT, respectively). This Subpart
CL applies only to the coating process; the metal forming operations are
subject to the specific metal forming rules.
5) Research and development laboratories that
produce plastic products using a plastics molding and forming process are
subject to this Subpart CL if the plastics molding and forming process
discharges process water. The mass of plastic product produced in the plastics
molding and forming process is not considered when determining the
applicability of this Subpart CL to plastics molding and forming processes at
research and development laboratories.
6) Chemical and thermal reticulation
processes for polyurethane foam are not subject to this Subpart CL. Water used
in those processes is not considered to be process water as defined in
40 CFR
463.2 (2003), incorporated by reference in
subsection (b). Processes used to further mold or form the reticulated foam are
subject, however, to this Subpart if they discharge process water.
7) Processes used to regenerate cellulose and
to produce a product (e.g., rayon) from the regenerated cellulose are not
subject to the limitations and standards in this Subpart. Processes that mold
or form cellulose derivatives (e.g., cellulose acetate) are subject to this
Subpart CL if they discharge process water.
b) General Definitions. The Board
incorporates by reference 40
CFR 463.2 (2003). This incorporation includes
no later amendments or editions.
c)
Monitoring Requirements. The Board incorporates by reference
40 CFR
463.3 (2003). This incorporation includes no
later amendments or editions.
