Spacing between lines shall be at least equal to the height of the upper of the two lines.
(c) The perimeter of the disposal site shall be fenced in order to adequately deter access to the general public except as specified in paragraph (d) of this section.
(d> Warning signs and fencing are not required where the requirements of paragraph (e) (1) of this section are met, or where a natural barrier ade quately deters access to the general public. Upon request and supply of ap propriate information, the Administra tor will determine whether a fence or a natural barrier adequately deters access to the general public.
(e) Rather than meet the require ment of paragraph (a) of this section, an owner or operator may elect to meet the requirements of paragraph (e)(1) or (e) (2) of this section, or may use an al ternative control method for emissions from active waste disposal sites which has received prior approval by the Administrator.
(1) At the end of each operating day, or at least once every 24-hour period while the site is in continuous operation, the asbestos-containing waste material which was deposited at the site during the operating day or previous 24-hour period shall be covered with at least 15 centimeters (ca. 6 inches) of compacted non-asbestos-containing material.
(2) At the end of each operating day, or at least once every 24-hour period while the disposal site Is In continuous operation, the asbestos-containing waste material which was deposited at the site during the operating day or previous 24hour period shall be covered with a res inous or petroleum-based dust suppres-. slon agent which effectively binds dust and controls wind erosion. Such agent shall be used as recommended for the particular dust by the dust suppression
agent manufacturer. Other equally ef fective dust suppression agents may be used upon prior approval by the Admin istrator. For purposes of this paragraph, waste crankcase oil is not considered a dust suppression agent.

Subpart C--National Emission Standard for Beryllium
61.30 Applicability.
The provisions of this subpart are ap plicable to the following stationary sources:
(a) Extraction plans, ceramic plants, foundries, incinerators, and propellant plants which process beryllium ore, beryl lium, beryllium oxide, beryllium alloys, or beryllium-containing waste.
(b) Machine shops which process beryllium, beryllium oxides, or any alloy when such alloy contains more than 5 percent beryllium by weight.
g 61.31 Definitions.
Terms used in this subpart are de fined in the act, in subpart A of this part, or in this section as follows:
(a) "Beryllium" means the element beryllium. Where weights or concentra tions are specified, such weights or con centrations apply to beryllium only, excluding the weight or concentration of any associated elements.
(b) "Extraction plant" means a fa cility chemically processing beryllium ore to beryllium metal, alloy, or oxide, or performing any of the intermediate steps in these processes.
(c) "Beryllium ore" means any natu rally occurring material mined or gathered for its beryllium content.
(d) "Machine shop" means a facility performing cutting, grinding, turning, honing, milling, deburring, lapping, electrochemical machining, etching, or other similar operations.
(e) ``Ceramic plant" means a manu facturing plant producing ceramic items.
(f) "Foundry" means a facility en gaged in the melting or casting of beryllium metal or alloy.
(g) "Beryllium-containing waste" means material contaminated with beryllium and/or beryllium compounds used or generated during any process or operation performed by a source subject to this subpart.
(h) "Incinerator" means any furnace used in the process of burning waste for the primary purpose of reducing the volume of the waste by removing com bustible matter.
(i) "Propellant" means a fuel and oxi dizer physically or chemically combined which undergoes combustion to provide rocket propulsion.
(J) "Beryllium alloy" means any metal to which beryllium has' been added in order to increase its beryllium content and which contains more than 0.1 per cent beryllium by weight.
(k) "Propellant plant" means any facility engaged in the mixing, casting, or machining of propellant.
61.32 Emission standard.
(a) Emissions to the atmosphere from stationary sources subject to the provi sions of this subpart shall not exceed 10 grams of beryllium over a 21-hour period, except as provided In paragraph (b) of this section.
(b) Rather than meet the require ment of paragraph (a) of this section, an owner or operator may request ap proval from the Administrator to meet an ambient concentration limit on beryl lium in the vicinity of the stationary source of 0.01 /ig/m3, averaged over a 30-day period.
(l) Approval of such requests may be granted by the Administrator provided that:
(I) At least 3 years of data is avail able which in the judgment of the Ad ministrator demonstrates that the fu ture ambient concentrations of beryllium In the vicinity of the stationary source will not exceed 0.01 /ig/m\ averaged over a 30-day period. Such 3-year period shall be the 3 years ending 30 days before the effective date of this standard.
(II) The owner or operator requests such approval in writing within 30 days after the effective date of this standard.
(ill) The owner or operator submits a report to the Administrator within 45 days after the effective date of this standard which report includes the fol lowing Information:
(a) Description of sampling method Including the method and frequency of calibration.
(b) Method of sample analysis. (c) Averaging technique for determin ing 30-day average concentrations.
(d) Number, identity, and location (address, coordinates, or distance and heading from plant) of sampling sites.
(e) Ground elevations and height above ground of sampling inlets.
(/> Plant and sampling area plots showing emission points and sampling sites. Topographic features significantly affecting dispersion including plant building heights and locations shall be Included.
<g) Information necessary for esti mating dispersion including stack height. Inside diameter, exit gas temperature, exit velocity or flow rate, and beryllium concentration.
