PART 61—NATIONAL EMISSION STANDARDS FOR HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANTS Subpart D—National Emission Standard for Beryllium Rocket Motor FiringContents§61.40 Applicability.
§61.41 Definitions.
§61.42 Emission standard.
§61.43 Emission testing—rocket firing or propellant disposal.
§61.44 Stack sampling.
§61.40 Applicability.The provisions of this subpart are applicable to rocket motor test sites. Back to Top
§61.41 Definitions.Terms used in this subpart are defined in the Act, in subpart A of this part, or in this section as follows: (a) Rocket motor test site means any building, structure, facility, or installation where the static test firing of a beryllium rocket motor and/or the disposal of beryllium propellant is conducted. (b) Beryllium propellant means any propellant incorporating beryllium. Back to Top
§61.42 Emission standard.(a) Emissions to the atmosphere from rocket-motor test sites shall not cause time-weighted atmospheric concentrations of beryllium to exceed 75 microgram minutes per cubic meter (µg-min/m3)(4.68 x 10−9 pound minutes per cubic foot (lb-min/ft3)) of air within the limits of 10 to 60 minutes, accumulated during any 2 consecutive weeks, in any area in which an adverse effect to public health could occur.(b) If combustion products from the firing of beryllium propellant are collected in a closed tank, emissions from such tank shall not exceed 2.0 g/hr (0.0044 lb/hr) and a maximum of 10 g/day (0.022 lb/day).
[38 FR 8826, Apr. 6, 1973, as amended at 65 FR 62151, Oct. 17, 2000; 79 FR 11275, Feb. 27, 2014]
§61.43 Emission testing—rocket firing or propellant disposal.(a) Ambient air concentrations shall be measured during and after firing of a rocket motor or propellant disposal and in such a manner that the effect of these emissions can be compared with the standard. Such sampling techniques shall be approved by the Administrator. (b) All samples shall be analyzed and results shall be calculated within 30 days after samples are taken and before any subsequent rocket motor firing or propellant disposal at the given site. All results shall be reported to the Administrator by a registered letter dispatched before the close of the next business day following determination of such results. (c) Records of air sampling test results and other data needed to determine integrated intermittent concentrations shall be retained at the source and made available, for inspection by the Administrator, for a minimum of 2 years. (d) The Administrator shall be notified at least 30 days prior to an air sampling test, so that he may at his option observe the test. Back to Top
§61.44 Stack sampling.(a) Sources subject to §61.42(b) shall be continuously sampled, during release of combustion products from the tank, according to Method 104 of appendix B to this part. Method 103 of appendix B to this part is approved by the Administrator as an alternative method for sources subject to §61.42(b).(b) All samples shall be analyzed, and beryllium emissions shall be determined within 30 days after samples are taken and before any subsequent rocket motor firing or propellant disposal at the given site. All determinations shall be reported to the Administrator by a registered letter dispatched before the close of the next business day following such determinations. (c) Records of emission test results and other data needed to determine total emissions shall be retained at the source and made available, for inspection by the Administrator, for a minimum of 2 years. (d) The Administrator shall be notified at least 30 days prior to an emission test, so that he may at his option observe the test.
