Current through June 24, 2024
(1) This subchapter
				  applies to discharges to waters of the state and to introductions of pollutants
				  into publicly owned treatment works from zinc casting operations. It applies to
				  a production process if the molten metal contains, on average, greater than 50%
				  by weight of zinc or if zinc comprises the greatest percentage of the metal,
				  measured by weight.
(2) This
				  subchapter does not apply to the casting of ingots, pigs or other cast shapes
				  following primary metal smelting, which is regulated by the nonferrous metals
				  manufacturing point source category under 40 CFR Part 421. This subchapter does
				  not apply to the casting of zinc performed as an integral part of zinc forming
				  and conducted on-site at a zinc forming plant, which is regulated by the
				  nonferrous metals forming point source category under 40 CFR Part
				  471.
(3) Processing operations
				  following the cooling of castings, except for grinding scrubber operations, may
				  be regulated by nonferrous metals forming point source category under 40 CFR
				  Part 471, electroplating point source category under ch. NR 260, or metal
				  finishing point source category under ch. NR 261.

Wisconsin Administrative Code › Department of Natural Resources › NR 200-299 - Environmental Protection Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System › Chapter NR 257 - Aluminum forming › Section NR 257.01 - Purpose

Current through June 24, 2024
The purpose of this chapter is to establish effluent
				  limitations, performance standards, and pretreatment standards for the
				  discharge of process wastes from the aluminum forming point source category and
				  its subcategories.
Wisconsin Administrative Code › Department of Natural Resources › NR 200-299 - Environmental Protection Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System › Chapter NR 257 - Aluminum forming › Section NR 257.02 - Applicability

Current through June 24, 2024
(1) This chapter applies to any aluminum
				forming facility which discharges or may discharge pollutants to waters of the
				state or which introduces or may introduce pollutants into a publicly owned
				treatment works.
(2) This chapter
				applies to chemical or electrochemical treatments applied to the surface of the
				aluminum when these surface treatments are performed at [the] aluminum forming
				site. When these surface treatments are not performed at the aluminum forming
				site, regulations for electroplating, ch. NR 260, or metal finishing, ch. NR
				261, apply.
(3) This chapter
				applies to aluminum casting when the casting is performed as an integral part
				of aluminum forming and is located at the aluminum forming site. When aluminum
				forming is performed on the same site as primary aluminum reduction, this
				chapter applies if the aluminum cools prior to casting. If the aluminum does
				not cool prior to casting, the regulations for nonferrous metals manufacturing,
				ch. NR 274, apply.

The following special monitoring and reporting requirements
				  apply to all facilities subject to this chapter:
(1) Analyses for cyanide are not required
				when both of the following conditions are met:
(a) The first wastewater sample of the
				calendar year has been analyzed and found to contain less than 0.07
				mg/1.
(b) The owner or operator of
				the aluminum forming facility certifies in writing to the department or control
				authority that cyanide is not and will not be used in the aluminum forming
				process.
