The
EPA
can
establish
both
work
practice
requirements
and
an
emission
standard
under
the
Act,
and
nothing
about
either
the
language
or
the
structure
of
the
Act
obviously
precludes
such
an
approach.
Section
112(
h),
by
its
own
terms,
limits
only
EPA's
authority
to
utilize
work
practice
requirements
"
in
lieu"
of
emission
standards
[
CAA
§
112(
h)(
1
)].
Indeed,
the
statute
contemplates
emission
reductions
"
through
application
of
measures,
processes,
methods,
systems,
or
techniques"
that
specifically
include
process
changes;
materials
substitution;
enclosures;
capture
and
treatment;
design,
equipment,
work
practice
or
operational
changes;
or
a
combination
of
these
approaches.

CAA
§
112(
d)(
2).

From:

Subject:
MACT
Floor
for
Scrap
Inspection
Programs
An
important
component
of
the
technology
for
control
of
emissions
of
HAP
metals,
especially
lead
and
mercury,
from
melting
furnaces
and
other
foundry
processes
is
a
scrap
selection
and
inspection
program.
We
have
established
emission
limits
to
ensure
control
of
less
volatile
metal
HAP
that
cannot
be
reduced
by
a
scrap
selection
and
inspection
program.
The
combination
of
a
work
practice
standard
for
scrap
inspection
and
an
emission
limit
is
the
most
effective
means
to
control
metal
HAP
emissions.
1
Information
on
current
industry
practices
was
compiled
from
the
1998
survey
of
approximately
600
iron
and
steel
foundries.
The
vast
majority
of
foundries
(
well
over
the
median
of
the
top
12
percent
that
determines
the
MACT
floor)
have
implemented
a
pollution
prevention
program
that
includes
scrap
selection
and
specifications.
Tables
1,
2,
and
3
list
the
survey
responses
for
foundries
with
the
three
types
of
melting
furnaces.
The
survey
responses
also
indicate
that
the
procedures
are
different
from
plant
to
plant.
Representatives
from
several
companies
with
these
programs
were
interviewed
to
gain
additional
details.
Results
are
summarized
in
Attachment
A.
One
of
the
common
elements
among
foundries
is
a
visual
inspection
of
scrap.
Most
foundries
also
use
specifications
for
their
suppliers
to
limit
contamination.

The
information
we
collected
indicates
that
a
scrap
selection
and
inspection
program
is
part
of
the
MACT
floor
for
metal
HAP
emissions
from
iron
and
steel
foundries.
We
could
not
confirm
that
preventing
mercury
switches
and
lead
components
in
the
scrap
was
indisputably
part
of
the
MACT
floor,
although
many
foundries
reported
some
type
of
effort
to
prevent
unwanted
contamination.
However,
the
low
cost
of
the
scrap
inspection
program
and
the
potential
reductions
in
mercury
emissions
alone
make
the
work
practice
requirements
in
the
final
rule
an
appropriate
above­
the­
floor
control.
These
work
practice
requirements
are
at
least
as
stringent
as
the
practices
used
by
the
average
of
the
top
12
percent
of
foundries.

SUMMARY
OF
INFORMATION
ON
SCRAP
SPECIFICATIONS
1.
What
are
the
purposes
of
scrap
inspections
and
specifications?

!
The
primary
purpose
given
by
most
foundries
is
to
maintain
product
quality
 
to
keep
the
chemistry
of
the
molten
iron
within
specifications.
Most
foundries
perform
extensive
metallurgical
analyses
of
the
molten
iron.

[
If
the
iron
is
out
of
specification
and
the
scrap
quality
is
the
suspect,
most
plants
can
trace
back
to
the
type
of
scrap
used
and
its
source.
The
supplier
may
be
notified
or
placed
on
a
"
quality
hold."]

!
Environmental
concerns
are
also
one
of
the
purposes.
Limiting
lead
content
was
most
often
mentioned,
as
was
cadmium.

[
Lead
and
cadmium
compounds
are
relatively
volatile
and
end
up
in
the
pollution
control
dust
or
sludge,
scrubber
water,
or
as
air
emissions.
Plants
do
not
want
their
dust
classified
as
hazardous
(
such
as
exceeding
certain
TCLP2
limits).
Consequently,
a
measure
of
success
is
dust
or
sludge
that
does
not
fail
the
TCLP
for
toxic
metals.]

2.
What
are
typical
scrap
specifications?

!
Plants
usually
specify
scrap
by
type.
3
Standard
specifications
are
provided
by
the
Iron
Casting
Research
Institute
(
ICRI)
and
the
Institute
of
Scrap
Recycling
Industries
(
ISRI).
They
also
define
"
cleanness"
and
"
alloy
free"
for
ferrous
scrap:

a.
Cleanness.
All
grades
shall
be
free
of
dirt,
nonferrous
metals,
or
foreign
material
of
any
kind,
and
excessive
rust
and
corrosion.
However,
the
terms
"
free
of
dirt,
nonferrous
metals,
or
foreign
material
of
any
kind"
are
not
intended
to
preclude
the
accidental
inclusion
of
negligible
amounts
where
it
can
be
shown
that
this
amount
is
unavoidable
in
the
customary
preparation
and
handling
of
the
particular
grade
involved.

c.
Residual
alloys.
Wherever
the
term
"
free
of
alloys"
is
used
in
the
classifications
given
herein,
it
shall
mean
that
any
alloys
contained
in
the
steel
are
residual
and
have
not
been
added
for
the
purpose
of
making
an
alloy
steel.
Steel
scraps
shall
be
considered
free
of
alloys
when
the
residual
alloying
elements
do
not
exceed
the
following
percentages:
17
percent
Nickel
0.45
Chromium
0.20
Molybdenum
0.10
Manganese
1.65
The
combined
residuals
other
than
manganese
shall
not
exceed
a
total
of
0.60
percent.

!
Some
specify
"
no
paint"
or
no
more
than
5%
painted,
no
PCBs,
no
dripping
liquids,
free
of
excessive
fines
and
rust,
no
aluminum,
no
oil.
Some
exclude
specific
types
of
scrap,
such
as
no
transmissions,
no
shock
absorbers.

3.
How
is
scrap
inspected?

!
Very
few
plants
actually
sample
and
analyze
scrap.
Periodic
visual
inspections
is
a
common
technique.
However,
that
only
detects
something
obvious,
such
as
paint
or
liquid
contamination.

!
Sampling
scrap
is
difficult.
The
load
may
come
in
with
thousands
of
different
pieces.
Some
scrap
is
bundled
and
compressed,
which
makes
it
difficult
to
know
what
is
in
the
center.
Several
plants
said
they
depended
on
the
supplier
to
inspect
and
maintain
quality.

4.
Do
scrap
specifications
depend
on
type
of
furnace
or
whether
gray
or
ductile
iron?

!
No.
