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
g 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) Macltine 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.
CJ) "Beryllium alloy" means any metal and the corresponding 30-day average
to -which beryllium has been added in beryllium concentrations.

(c) The burning of beryllium and/or beryllium-containing waste, except pro pellants, is prohibited except in incinera tors, emissions from which must comply with the standard.

(1) Approval of such requests may be
granted by the Administrator provided that:
(i) At least 3 years of data is avail

will not exceed 0.01 pg/m3, averaged over a 30-day period. Such 3-year period shall

date preceding the effective date; or (2) Within 90 days of startup in the
case of a new source which did not have an initial startup date preceding the ef

(ii> The owner or operator requests such approval in writing within 30 days after the effective date of this standard.

(b) Method of sample analysis.
(c) Samples shall be taken ovct such a period or periods as are necessary to ac curately determine the maximum emis sions which will occur in any 24-hour period. Where emissions depend upon the
relative frequency of operation of differ
ent types of processes, operating hours, operating capacities, or other factors, the calculation of maximum 24-hourperiod emissions will be based on that combination of factors which is likely to occur during the subject period and which result in the maximum emissions.
