Sec. 60.192  Standard for fluorides.

    (a) On and after the date on which the initial performance test 
required to be conducted by Sec. 60.8 is completed, no owner or 
operator subject to the provisions of this subpart shall cause to be 
discharged into the atmosphere from any affected facility any gases 
containing total fluorides, as measured according to Sec. 60.195, in 
excess of:
    (1) 1.0 kg/Mg (2.0 lb/ton) of aluminum produced for potroom groups 
at Soderberg plants: except that emissions between 1.0 kg/Mg and 1.3 kg/
Mg (2.6 lb/ton) will be considered in compliance if the owner or 
operator demonstrates that exemplary operation and maintenance 
procedures were used with respect to the emission control system and 
that proper control equipment was operating at the affected facility 
during the performance tests;
    (2) 0.95 kg/Mg (1.9 lb/ton) of aluminum produced for potroom groups 
at prebake plants; except that emissions between 0.95 kg/Mg and 1.25 kg/
Mg (2.5 lb/ton) will be considered in compliance if the owner or 
operator demonstrates that exemplary operation and maintenance 
procedures were used with respect to the emission control system

and that proper control equipment was operating at the affected facility 
during the performance test; and
    (3) 0.05 kg/Mg (0.1 lb/ton) of aluminum equivalent for anode bake 
plants.
    (b) Within 30 days of any performance test which reveals emissions 
which fall between the 1.0 kg/Mg and 1.3 kg/Mg levels in paragraph 
(a)(1) of this section or between the 0.95 kg/Mg and 1.25 kg/Mg levels 
in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, the owner or operator shall submit 
a report indicating whether all necessary control devices were on-line 
and operating properly during the performance test, describing the 
operating and maintenance procedures followed, and setting forth any 
explanation for the excess emissions, to the Director of the Enforcement 
Division of the appropriate EPA Regional Office.
