NR 257.01 History
History: Cr.
Register, November, 1989, No. 407, eff. 12-1-89.
NR 257.02(1)
(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.
NR 257.02(2)
(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.
NR 257.02(3)
(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.

NR 257.03
NR 257.03 General definitions. In addition to the definitions set forth in
ss. NR 205.03,
205.04, and
211.03, the following definitions apply to the terms used in this chapter:
NR 257.03(1)
(1) “Aluminum forming” means a set of manufacturing operations in which aluminum and aluminum alloys are made into semifinished products by hot or cold working, such as rolling, drawing, extruding, and forging, and related operations such as heat treatment and casting.
NR 257.03(2)
(2) “Ancillary operation” means a manufacturing operation that has a large flow, discharges significant amounts of pollutants, and may not be present at every plant in a subcategory but when present is an integral part of the aluminum forming process.
