NR 228.02(1) (1)Nonleaching. This subcategory includes facilities having discharges resulting from the manufacture of cement using a process in which kiln dust is not contacted with water as an integral part of the process and water is not used in wet scrubbers to control kiln stack emissions.
NR 228.02(2) (2)Leaching. This subcategory includes facilities having discharges resulting from the manufacture of cement using a process in which kiln dust is contacted with water as an integral part of the process or water is used in wet scrubbers to control kiln stack emissions.
NR 228.02(3) (3)Materials storage. This subcategory includes facilities having discharges resulting from the runoff of rainfall from storage of materials, including raw materials, intermediate and finished products, and waste materials which are used in or derived from the manufacture of cement.
