| 7. Each casthouse at an existing blast furnace | a. Maintaining emissions of particulate matter from a control device at or below 0.01 gr/dscf; and |
| b. Maintaining the opacity of secondary emissions that exit any opening in the casthouse or structure housing the casthouse at or below 20 percent (6-minute average); and | |
| c. Conducting subsequent performance tests at the frequencies specified in §63.7821. | |
| 8. Each casthouse at a new blast furnace | a. Maintaining emissions of particulate matter from a control device at or below 0.003 gr/dscf; and |
| b. Maintaining the opacity of secondary emissions that exit any opening in the casthouse or structure housing the casthouse at or below 15 percent (6-minute average); and | |
| c. Conducting subsequent performance tests at the frequencies specified in §63.7821. | |
| 9. Each BOPF at a new or existing BOPF shop | a. Maintaining emissions of particulate matter from the primary control system for a BOPF with a closed hood system at or below 0.03 gr/dscf; and |
| b. Maintaining emissions of particulate matter from the primary control system for a BOPF with an open hood system at or below 0.02 gr/dscf for an existing BOPF shop or 0.01 gr/dscf for a new BOPF shop; and | |
| c. Maintaining emissions of particulate matter from a control device applied solely to secondary emissions from a BOPF at or below 0.01 gr/dscf for an existing BOPF shop or 0.0052 gr/dscf for a new BOPF shop; and | |
| d. Conducting subsequent performance tests at the frequencies specified in §63.7821. | |
| 10. Each hot metal transfer, skimming, and desulfurization operation at a new or existing BOPF shop | a. Maintaining emissions of particulate matter from a control device at or below 0.01 gr/dscf at an existing BOPF or 0.003 gr/dscf for a new BOPF; and |
| b. Conducting subsequent performance tests at the frequencies specified in §63.7821. | |
| 11. Each ladle metallurgy operation at a new or existing BOPF shop | a. Maintaining emissions of particulate matter from a control device at or below 0.01 gr/dscf at an existing BOPF shop or 0.004 gr/dscf for a new BOPF shop; and |
| b. Conducting subsequent performance tests at the frequencies specified in §63.7821. | |
| 12. Each roof monitor at an existing BOPF shop | a. Maintaining the opacity of secondary emissions that exit any opening in the BOPF shop or other building housing the BOPF shop or shop operation at or below 20 percent (3-minute average); and |
| b. Conducting subsequent performance tests at the frequencies specified in §63.7821. | |
| 13. Each roof monitor at a new BOPF shop | a. Maintaining the opacity (for any set of 6-minute averages) of secondary emissions that exit any opening in the BOPF shop or other building housing a bottom-blown BOPF or shop operation at or below 10 percent, except that one 6-minute period greater than 10 percent but no more than 20 percent may occur once per steel production cycle; and |
| b. Maintaining the opacity (for any set of 3-minute averages) of secondary emissions that exit any opening in the BOPF shop or other building housing a top-blown BOPF or shop operation at or below 10 percent, except that one 3-minute period greater than 10 percent but less than 20 percent may occur once per steel production cycle; and | |
| c. Conducting subsequent performance tests at the frequencies specified in §63.7821. |
