Die Casting Facilities are exempt from pending EPA Aluminum Area Source Rules. For many years NADCA has worked to keep die casters exempt from the EPA Area Source Rules for non-ferrous foundries. These rules attempt to control hazardous air pollutants released during the melting of aluminum and non-ferrous alloys. On January 15 of this year, proposed revisions to these rules were published.

Many die casters are concerned that with the revised rules their exemption is expiring. This is not the case. It has been confirmed through multiple knowledgeable sources die casters will remain exempt as long as they continue to melt clean sources of metal. NADCA is conducting its own investigation of these revisions as well as any further EPA rules that could concern die casters. Look in the April issue of LINKS for an article that will both identify clean sources of metal and further discuss EPA rules.
