Sec. 60.262  Standard for particulate matter.

    (a) On and after the date on which the 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 electric submerged arc furnace any gases which:
    (1) Exit from a control device and contain particulate matter in 
excess of 0.45 kg/MW-hr (0.99 lb/MW-hr) while silicon metal, 
ferrosilicon, calcium silicon, or silicomanganese zirconium is being 
produced.
    (2) Exit from a control device and contain particulate matter in 
excess of 0.23 kg/MW-hr (0.51 lb/MW-hr) while highcarbon ferrochrome, 
charge chrome, standard ferromanganese, silicomanganese, calcium 
carbide, ferrochrome silicon, ferromanganese silicon, or silvery iron is 
being produced.
    (3) Exit from a control device and exhibit 15 percent opacity or 
greater.
    (4) Exit from an electric submerged arc furnace and escape the 
capture system and are visible without the aid of instruments. The 
requirements under this subparagraph apply only during periods when flow 
rates are being established under Sec. 60.265(d).
    (5) Escape the capture system at the tapping station and are visible 
without the aid of instruments for more than 40 percent of each tapping 
period. There

are no limitations on visible emissions under this subparagraph when a 
blowing tap occurs. The requirements under this subparagraph apply only 
during periods when flow rates are being established under Sec. 
60.265(d).
    (b) On and after the date on which the 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 dust-handling equipment any gases which exhibit 10 
percent opacity or greater.
