40 CFR 423.10 Applicability.
The provisions of this part are applicable to discharges resulting
from the operation of a generating unit by an establishment primarily
engaged in the generation of electricity for distribution and sale which
results primarily from a process utilizing fossil-type fuel (coal, oil,
or gas) or nuclear fuel in conjunction with a thermal cycle employing
the steam water system as the thermodynamic medium.
40 CFR 423.11 Specialized definitions.
In addition to the definitions set forth in 40 CFR part 401, the
following definitions apply to this part:

amperometric method for total residual chlorine described in 40 CFR part
136.
(b) The term low volume waste sources means, taken collectively as if
from one source, wastewater from all sources except those for which
specific limitations are otherwise established in this part. Low volume
wastes sources include, but are not limited to: wastewaters from wet
scrubber air pollution control systems, ion exchange water treatment
system, water treatment evaporator blowdown, laboratory and sampling
streams, boiler blowdown, floor drains, cooling tower basin cleaning
wastes, and recirculating house service water systems. Sanitary and air
conditioning wastes are not included.
(c) The term chemical metal cleaning waste means any wastewater
resulting from the cleaning of any metal process equipment with chemical
compounds, including, but not limited to, boiler tube cleaning.
(d) The term metal cleaning waste means any wastewater resulting from
cleaning (with or without chemical cleaning compounds) any metal process
equipment including, but not limited to, boiler tube cleaning, boiler
fireside cleaning, and air preheater cleaning.
(e) The term fly ash means the ash that is carried out of the furnace
by the gas stream and collected by mechanical precipitators,
electrostatic precipitators, and/or fabric filters. Economizer ash is
included when it is collected with fly ash.

water for the purpose of discharging materials contained in the water,
the further buildup of which would cause concentration in amounts
exceeding limits established by best engineering practices.
(k) The term average concentration as it relates to chlorine
discharge means the average of analyses made over a single period of
chlorine release which does not exceed two hours.
(l) The term free available chlorine shall mean the value obtained

40 CFR 423.12 Effluent limitations guidelines representing the degree
of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best
practicable control technology currently available (BPT).
(a) In establishing the limitations set forth in this section, EPA
took into account all information it was able to collect, develop and
solicit with respect to factors (such as age and size of plant,
utilization of facilities, raw materials, manufacturing processes,
non-water quality environmental impacts, control and treatment
technology available, energy requirements and costs) which can affect
the industry subcategorization and effluent levels established. It is,
however, possible that data which would affect these limitations have
not been available and, as a result, these limitations should be
adjusted for certain plants in this industry. An individual discharger
or other interested person may submit evidence to the Regional
Administrator (or to the State, if the State has the authority to issue
NPDES permits) that factors relating to the equipment or facilities
involved, the process applied, or other such factors related to such
discharger are fundamentally different from the factors considered in
the establishment of the guidelines. On the basis of such evidence or
other available information, the Regional Administrator (or the State)
will make a written finding that such factors are or are not
fundamentally different for that facility compared to those specified in
the Development Document. If such fundamentally different factors are
found to exist, the Regional Administrator or the State shall establish
for the discharger effluent limitations in the NPDES Permit either more
or less stringent than the limitations established herein, to the extent
dictated by such fundamentally different factors. Such limitations must
be approved by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Administrator may approve or disapprove such limitations, specify
other limitations, or initiate proceedings to revise these regulations.
The phrase ''other such factors'' appearing above may include
significant cost differentials. In no event may a discharger's impact
on receiving water quality be considered as a factor under this
paragraph.
(b) Any existing point source subject to this subpart must achieve
the following effluent limitations representing the degree of effluent
reduction by the application of the best practicable control technology
currently available (BPT):
(1) The pH of all discharges, except once through cooling water,
shall be within the range of 6.0-9.0.
(2) There shall be no discharge of polychlorinated biphenyl compounds
such as those commonly used for transformer fluid.
(3) The quantity of pollutants discharged from low volume waste
sources shall not exceed the quantity determined by multiplying the flow
of low volume waste sources times the concentration lised in the
following table:
(4) The quantity of pollutants discharged in fly ash and bottom ash
transport water shall not exceed the quantity determined by multiplying
the flow of fly ash and bottom ash transport water times the
concentration listed in the following table:
(5) The quantity of pollutants discharged in metal cleaning wastes
shall not exceed the quantity determined by multiplying the flow of
metal cleaning wastes times the concentration listed in the following
table:
(6) The quantity of pollutants discharged in once through cooling
water shall not exceed the quantity determined by multiplying the flow
of once through cooling water sources times the concentation listed in
the following table:
(7) The quantity of pollutants discharged in cooling tower blowdown
shall not exceed the quantity determined by multiplying the flow of
cooling tower blowdown sources times the concentration listed in the
following table:
(8) Neither free available chlorine nor total residual chlorine may
be discharged from any unit for more than two hours in any one day and
not more than one unit in any plant may discharge free available or
total residual chlorine at any one time unless the utility can
demonstrate to the Regional Administrator or State, if the State has
NPDES permit issuing authority, that the units in a particular location
cannot operate at or below this level or chlorination.
(9) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (b)(10) of this section,
the following effluent limitations shall apply to the point source
discharges of coal pile runoff:
(10) Any untreated overflow from facilities designed, constructed,
and operated to treat the volume of coal pile runoff which is associated
with a 10 year, 24 hour rainfall event shall not be subject to the
limitations in paragraph (b)(9) of this section.
(11) At the permitting authority's discretion, the quantity of
pollutant allowed to be discharged may be expressed as a concentration
limitation instead of the mass based limitations specified in paragraphs
(b)(3) through (7) of this section. Concentration limitations shall be
those concentrations specified in this section.
(12) In the event that waste streams from various sources are
combined for treatment or discharge, the quantity of each pollutant or
pollutant property controlled in paragraphs (b)(1) through (11) of this
section attributable to each controlled waste source shall not exceed
the specified limitations for that waste source.

40 CFR 423.17 Subpart A -- Open Electric Furnaces With Wet Air Pollution Control Devices Subcategory
40 CFR 424.10 Applicability; description of the open electric furnaces
with wet air pollution control devices subcategory.
The provisions of this subpart are applicable to discharges resulting
from the smelting of ferroalloys in open electric furnaces with wet air
pollution control devices. This subcategory includes those electric
furnaces of such construction or configuration that the furnace
off-gases are burned above the furnace charge level by air drawn into
the system. After combustion the gases are cleaned in a wet air
pollution control device, such as a scrubber, an electrostatic
precipitator with water or other aqueous sprays, etc. The provisions of
this subpart are not applicable to noncontact cooling water or to those
electric furnaces which are covered, closed, sealed, or semi-covered and
in which the furnace off-gases are not burned prior to collection
(regulated in subpart B of this part).
40 CFR 424.11 Specialized definitions.
For the purpose of this subpart:
(a) Except as provided below, the general definitions, abbreviations
and methods of analysis set forth in 40 CFR part 401 shall apply to this
subpart.
(b) The term Mwh shall mean megawatt hour(s) of electrical energy
consumed in the smelting process (furnace power consumption).
40 CFR 424.12 Effluent limitations guidelines representing the degree
of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best
practicable control technology currently available.
(a) In establishing the limitations set forth in this section, EPA
took into account all information it was able to collect, develop and
solicit with respect to factors (such as age and size of plant, raw
materials, manufacturing processes, products produced, treatment
technology available, energy requirements and costs) which can affect
the industry subcategorization and effluent levels established. It is,
however, possible that data which would affect these limitations have
not been available and, as a result, these limitations should be
adjusted for certain plants in this industry. An individual discharger
or other interested person may submit evidence to the Regional
Administrator (or to the State, if the State has the authority to issue
NPDES permits) that factors relating to the equipment or facilities
involved, the process applied, or other such factors related to such
discharger are fundamentally different from the factors considered in
the establishment of the guidelines. On the basis of such evidence or
other available information, the Regional Administrator (or the State)
will make a written finding that such factors are or are not
fundamentally different for that facility compared to those specified in
the Development Document. If such fundamentally different factors are
found to exist, the Regional Administrator or the State shall establish
for the discharger effluent limitations in the NPDES permit either more
or less stringent than the limitations established herein, to the extent
dictated by such fundamentally different factors. Such limitations must
be approved by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Administrator may approve or disapprove such limitations, specify
other limitations, or initiate proceedings to revise these regulations.
(b) The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of
pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this section, which
may be discharged by a point source subject to the provisions of this
subpart after application of the best practicable control technology
currently available:

it were to discharge pollutants to the navigable waters), shall be the
standard set forth in part 128 of this chapter except that, for the
purpose of this section, 128.133 of this chapter shall be amended to
read as follows:
In addition to the prohibitions set forth in 40 CFR 128.131, the
pretreatment standard for incompatible pollutants introduced into a
publicly owned treatment works shall be the standard of performance for
new sources specified in 40 CFR 424.15; Provided, That, if the publicly
owned treatment works which receives the pollutants is committed, in its
NPDES permit, to remove a specified percentage of any incompatible
pollutant, the pretreatment standard applicable to users of such
treatment works shall, except in the case of standards providing for no
discharge of pollutants, be correspondingly reduced in stringency for
that pollutant.

with respect to factors (such as age and size of plant, raw materials,
manufacturing processes, products produced, treatment technology
available, energy requirements and costs) which can affect the industry
subcategorization and effluent levels established. It is, however,
possible that data which would affect these limitations have not been
available and, as a result, these limitations should be adjusted for
certain plants in this industry. An individual discharger or other
interested person may submit evidence to the Regional Administrator (or
to the State, if the State has the authority to issue NPDES permits)
that factors relating to the equipment or facilities involved, the
process applied, or other such factors related to such discharger are
fundamentally different from the factors considered in the establishment
of the guidelines. On the basis of such evidence or other available
information, the Regional Administrator (or the State) will make a
written finding that such factors are or are not fundamentally different
for that facility compared to those specified in the Development
Document. If such fundamentally different factors are found to exist,
the Regional Administrator or the State shall establish for the
discharger effluent limitations in the NPDES permit either more or less
stringent than the limitations established herein, to the extent
dictated by such fundamentally different factors. Such limitations must
be approved by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Administrator may approve or disapprove such limitations, specify
other limitations, or initiate proceedings to revise these regulations.
The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of
pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this section, which
may be discharged by a point source subject to the provisions of this

40 CFR 424.77 Explanation
The Code of Federal Regulations is a codification of the general and
permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the Executive
departments and agencies of the Federal Government. The Code is divided
into 50 titles which represent broad areas subject to Federal
regulation. Each title is divided into chapters which usually bear the
name of the issuing agency. Each chapter is further subdivided into
parts covering specific regulatory areas.
Each volume of the Code is revised at least once each calendar year
and issued on a quarterly basis approximately as follows:
Title 1 through Title 16 as of January 1
Title 17 through Title 27 as of April 1
Title 28 through Title 41 as of July 1
Title 42 through Title 50 as of October 1
The appropriate revision date is printed on the cover of each volume.
LEGAL STATUS
The contents of the Federal Register are required to be judicially
noticed (44 U.S.C. 1507). The Code of Federal Regulations is prima facie
evidence of the text of the original documents (44 U.S.C. 1510).
HOW TO USE THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS
The Code of Federal Regulations is kept up to date by the individual
issues of the Federal Register. These two publications must be used
together to determine the latest version of any given rule.
To determine whether a Code volume has been amended since its
revision date (in this case, July 1, 1992), consult the ''List of CFR
Sections Affected (LSA),'' which is issued monthly, and the ''Cumulative
List of Parts Affected,'' which appears in the Reader Aids section of
the daily Federal Register. These two lists will identify the Federal
Register page number of the latest amendment of any given rule.
EFFECTIVE AND EXPIRATION DATES
Each volume of the Code contains amendments published in the Federal
Register since the last revision of that volume of the Code. Source
citations for the regulations are referred to by volume number and page
number of the Federal Register and date of publication. Publication
dates and effective dates are usually not the same and care must be
exercised by the user in determining the actual effective date. In
instances where the effective date is beyond the cut-off date for the
Code a note has been inserted to reflect the future effective date. In
those instances where a regulation published in the Federal Register
states a date certain for expiration, an appropriate note will be
inserted following the text.
OMB CONTROL NUMBERS
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-511) requires Federal
agencies to display an OMB control number with their information
collection request. Many agencies have begun publishing numerous OMB
control numbers as amendments to existing regulations in the CFR. These
OMB numbers are placed as close as possible to the applicable
recordkeeping or reporting requirements.
OBSOLETE PROVISIONS
Provisions that become obsolete before the revision date stated on
the cover of each volume are not carried. Code users may find the text
of provisions in effect on a given date in the past by using the
appropriate numerical list of sections affected. For the period before
January 1, 1986, consult either the List of CFR Sections Affected,
1949-1963, 1964-1972, or 1973-1985, published in seven separate volumes.
For the period beginning January 1, 1986, a ''List of CFR Sections
Affected'' is published at the end of each CFR volume.
INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE
What is incorporation by reference? Incorporation by reference was
established by statute and allows Federal agencies to meet the
requirement to publish regulations in the Federal Register by referring
to materials already published elsewhere. For an incorporation to be
valid, the Director of the Federal Register must approve it. The legal
effect of incorporation by reference is that the material is treated as
if it were published in full in the Federal Register (5 U.S.C. 552(a)).
This material, like any other properly issued regulation, has the force
of law.
What is a proper incorporation by reference? The Director of the
Federal Register will approve an incorporation by reference only when
the requirements of 1 CFR part 51 are met. Some of the elements on
which approval is based are:
(a) The incorporation will substantially reduce the volume of
material published in the Federal Register.
(b) The matter incorporated is in fact available to the extent
necessary to afford fairness and uniformity in the administrative
process.
(c) The incorporating document is drafted and submitted for
publication in accordance with 1 CFR part 51.
Properly approved incorporations by reference in this volume are
listed in the Finding Aids at the end of this volume.
What if the material incorporated by reference cannot be found? If
you have any problem locating or obtaining a copy of material listed in
the Finding Aids of this volume as an approved incorporation by
reference, please contact the agency that issued the regulation
containing that incorporation. If, after contacting the agency, you
find the material is not available, please notify the Director of the
Federal Register, National Archives and Records Administration,
Washington DC 20408, or call (202) 523-4534.
CFR INDEXES AND TABULAR GUIDES
A subject index to the Code of Federal Regulations is contained in a
separate volume, revised annually as of January 1, entitled CFR Index
and Finding Aids. This volume contains the Parallel Table of Statutory
Authorities and Agency Rules (Table I), and Acts Requiring Publication
in the Federal Register (Table II). A list of CFR titles, chapters, and
parts and an alphabetical list of agencies publishing in the CFR are
also included in this volume.
An index to the text of ''Title 3 -- The President'' is carried
within that volume.
The Federal Register Index is issued monthly in cumulative form.
This index is based on a consolidation of the ''Contents'' entries in
the daily Federal Register.
A List of CFR Sections Affected (LSA) is published monthly, keyed to
the revision dates of the 50 CFR titles.
REPUBLICATION OF MATERIAL
There are no restrictions on the republication of material appearing
in the Code of Federal Regulations.
INQUIRIES AND SALES
For a summary, legal interpretation, or other explanation of any
regulation in this volume, contact the issuing agency. Inquiries
concerning editing procedures and reference assistance with respect to
the Code of Federal Regulations may be addressed to the Director, Office
of the Federal Register, National Archives and Records Administration,

40 CFR 425.01 Applicability.
This part applies to any leather tanning and finishing facility which
discharges or may discharge process wastewater pollutants to the waters
of the United States, or which introduces or may introduce process
wastewater pollutants into a publicly owned treatment works.
40 CFR 425.02 General definitions.
In addition to the definitions set forth in 40 CFR Part 401, the
following definitions apply to this part:
(a) ''Sulfide'' shall mean total sulfide as measured by the potassium
ferricyanide titration method described in Appendix A or the modified
Monier-Williams method described in Appendix B.
(b) ''Hide'' means any animal pelt or skin as received by a tannery
as raw material to be processed.
(c) ''Retan-wet finish'' means the final processing steps performed
on a tanned hide including, but not limited to, the following wet
processes: retan, bleach, color, and fatliquor.
(d) ''Hair pulp'' means the removal of hair by chemical dissolution.
(e) ''Hair save'' means the physical or mechanical removal of hair
which has not been chemically dissolved, and either selling the hair as
a by-product or disposing of it as a solid waste.
(f) ''Chrome tan'' means the process of converting hide into leather
using a form of chromium.
(g) ''Vegetable tan'' means the process of converting hides into
leather using chemicals either derived from vegetable matter or
synthesized to produce effects similar to those chemicals.
(h) ''Raw material'' means the hides received by the tannery except
for facilities covered by Subpart D and Subpart I where ''raw material''
means the hide or split in the condition in which it is first placed
into a wet process.
(i) ''Monthly average'' means the arithmetic average of eight (8)
individual data points from effluent sampling and analysis during any
calendar month.
(j) ''Interference'' means the discharge of sulfides in quantities
which can result in human health hazards and/or risks to human life, and

40 CFR 425.03 Sulfide analytical methods and applicability.
(a) The potassium ferricyanide titration method described in Appendix
A to Part 425 shall be used whenever practicable for the determination
of sulfide in wastewaters discharged by plants operating in all
subcategories except the hair save or pulp, non-chrome tan, retan-wet
finish subcategory (Subpart C, see 425.30). In all other cases, the
modified Monier-Williams method as described in Appendix B to Part 425
shall be used as an alternative to the potassium ferricyanide titration
method for the determination of sulfide in wastewaters discharged by
plants operating in all subcategories except Subpart C.
(b) The modified Monier-Williams method as described in Appendix B to
Part 425 shall be used for the determination of sulfide in wastewaters
discharged by plants operating in the hair save or pulp, non-chrome tan,
retan-wet finish subcategory (Subpart C, see 425.30).
(53 FR 9181, Mar. 21, 1988)
40 CFR 425.04 Applicability of sulfide pretreatment standards.
(a) A POTW receiving wastewater from a facility subject to this part
may require more stringent pretreatment standards for sulfide than those
established by this part without EPA approval.
(b) The pretreatment standards for sulfide established by this part
will not apply if the POTW receiving wastewater from a facility subject
to this part certifies in writing with explanation of relevant factors
considered, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (c) of this
section, that the discharge of sulfide from the facility does not
interfere with the operation of the POTW. In making this determination,
the POTW shall consider all relevant factors including but not limited
to the following:
(1) The presence and characteristics, of other industrial wastewaters
which can increase or decrease sulfide concentrations, pH, or both.
(2) The characteristics of the sewer/interceptor collection system
which either minimize or enhance opportunities for release of hydrogen
sulfide gas.
(3) The characteristics of the receiving POTWs headworks, preliminary
and primary treatment systems, and sludge holding and dewatering
facilities which either minimize or enhance opportunities for release of
hydrogen sulfide gas.
(4) The occurrence of any prior sulfide related interference as
defined in 425.02(j).
(c)(1) On October 13, 1983, a POTW which intends to certify that the
sulfide pretreatment standard should not apply must publish, in a local
newspaper with the largest circulation, a notice that presents the
findings supporting this determination consistent with paragraph (a) of
this section. Allowance for public hearing of these findings also must
be provided. The POTW shall identify all existing facilities to which
the sulfide pretreatment standard otherwise established by this part
would not apply.
(2) On January 11, 1984, a POTW which intends to certify that the
sulfide pretreatment standard should not apply must file a written
certification with the Regional Water Management Division Director,
Environmental Protection Agency, in the appropriate Regional Office.
This certification shall include the findings supporting this
determination and the results of public comments, and public hearing(s)
if held.
(3) On February 10, 1984, EPA shall acknowledge to the POTW receipt
of any certification submitted under paragraphs (c) (1) and (2) of this
section, and shall indicate to the POTW the adequacy of the submission
based upon a review of the factors set forth in paragraph (b) of this
section.
(4) Within 30 days of the date of receipt of adequate submissions
under paragraphs (c) (1), (2), and (3) of this section, EPA shall
publish a notice in the Federal Register identifying those facilities to
which the sulfide pretreatment standards of this part shall not apply.
(5) A POTW may certify that the sulfide pretreatment standards of
this part should not apply to a new source planning to discharge into
the POTW. This certification must be submitted prior to the
commencement of discharge, and must conform at a minimum with criteria
in paragraph (b) of this section and the general procedures and
intervals of time contained in paragraphs (c) (1), (2), (3), and (4) of
this section.
(d) (1) If, after EPA and the POTW have determined in accordance with
this section that the sulfide pretreatment standards of this Part are
not applicable to specified facilities, a POTW then determines that
there have been changed circumstances (including but not limited to
changes in the factors specified in paragraph (b) of this section) which
justify application of the sulfide pretreatment standards, the POTW
shall revoke the certification submitted under paragraph (c) of this
section. The POTW and EPA shall then adhere to the general procedures
and time intervals contained in paragraph (c) of this section in order
to determine whether the sulfide pretreatment standards contained in
this Part are applicable.
(2) If pursuant to paragraph (d)(1) of this section, the sulfide
pretreatment standards of this Part are applicable to a specified
facility, the indirect discharger shall comply with the sulfide
pretreatment standards no later than 18 months from the date of
publication of the Federal Register notice identifying the facility.
(e) At any time after October 13, 1983, if a POTW determines that
there have been changed circumstances (including but not limited to
changes in the factors specified in paragraph (b) of this section), it
may initiate proceedings contained in paragraph (c) of this section to
determine that the sulfide pretreatment standards of this Part shall not
be applicable. The POTW and EPA shall follow the procedures and time
intervals contained in paragraph (c) of this section to make this
determination. A final determination that the sulfide pretreatment
standards are not applicable must be made prior to the discharge of
sulfide not in accordance with the standards set forth in this Part.
(The information collection and reporting requirements contained in

40 CFR 425.96 Appendix A to Part 425 -- Potassium Ferricyanide
Titration Method
The potassium ferricyanide titration method is based on method SLM
4/2 described in ''Official Method of Analysis,'' Society of Leather
Trades' Chemists, Fourth Revised Edition, Redbourn, Herts., England,
1965.
The buffered sulfide solution is titrated with standard potassium
ferricyanide solution in the presence of a ferrous dimethylglyoxime
ammonia complex. The sulfide is oxidized to sulfur. Sulfite interferes
and must be precipitated with barium chloride. Thiosulfate is not
titrated under the conditions of the determination (Charlot, ''Ann.
chim, anal,'', 1945, 27, 153; Booth; ''J. Soc. Leather Trades'
Chemists,'' 1956, 40, 238).
Burrette, 10 ml.
1. Preparation of 0.02N potassium ferricyanide; Weigh to the nearest
tenth of a gram 6.6 g. of analytical reagent grade potassium
ferricyanide and dissolve in 1 liter distilled water. Store in an amber
bottle in the dark. Prepare fresh each week.
2. Standardization of ferricyanide solution: Transfer 50 ml. of
solution to a 250 ml. Erlenmeyer flask. Add several crystals of

to the distillation flask. Adjust the N2 flow so that the impingers are
frothing vigorously, but not overflowing. Vaccum may be applied at the
outlet of Trap No. 2 to assist in smooth purging. The N2 inlet tube of
the distillation flask must be submerged deeply in the sample to ensure
efficient agitation. Purge the sample for 30 minutes without applying

the heating mantle until the sample begins to boil, then reduce heat and
maintain gentle boiling and N2 flow for 30 minutes. Terminate the
distillation cycle by turning off the heating mantle and maintaining N2
flow through the system for 5 to 10 minutes. Then turn off the N2 flow
(and release vacuum) and cautiously vent the system by placing 50 to 100
ml. of distilled water in the separatory funnel and opening the
stopcock carefully. When the bubbling stops and the system is equalized
to atmospheric pressure, remove the separatory funnel. Extreme care
must be exercised in terminating the distillation cycle to avoid

40 CFR 425.96 Pt. 425, App. C
40 CFR 425.96 Appendix C to Part 425 -- Definition and Procedure for
the Determination of the Method Detection Limit /1/
The method detection limit (MDL) is defined at the minimum
concentration of a substance that can be identified, measured and
reported with 99 percent confidence that the analyte concentration is
greater than zero and determined from analysis of a sample in a given
matrix containing analyte.
This procedure is designed for applicability to a wide variety of
sample types ranging from reagent (blank) water containing analyte to
wastewater containing analyte. The MDL for an analytical procedure may
vary as a function of sample type. The procedure requires a complete,
specific and well defined analytical method. It is essential that all
sample processing steps of the analytical method be included in the
determination of the method detection limit.
The MDL obtained by this procedure is used to judge the significance
of a single measurement of a future sample.
The MDL procedure was designed for applicability to a broad variety
of physical and chemical methods. To accomplish this, the procedure was
made device- or instrument-independent.
1. Make an estimate of the detection limit using one of the
following:
(a) The concentration value that corresponds to an instrument
signal/noise ratio in the range of 2.5 to 5. If the criteria for
qualitative identification of the analyte is based upon pattern
recognition techniques, the least abundant signal necessary to achieve
identification must be considered in making the estimate.
(b) The concentration value that corresponds to three times the
standard deviation of replicate instrumental measurements for the
analyte in reagent water.
(c) The concentration value that corresponds to the region of the
standard curve where there is a significant change in sensitivity at low
analyte concentrations, i.e., a break in the slope of the standard
curve.
(d) The concentration value that corresponds to known instrumental
limitations.
It is recognized that the experience of the analyst is important to
this process. However, the analyst must include the above
considerations in the estimate of the detection limit.
2. Prepare reagent (blank) water that is as free of analyte as
possible. Reagent or interference free water is defined as a water
sample in which analyte and interferent concentrations are not detected
at the method detection limit of each analyte of interest.
Interferences are defined as systematic errors in the measured
analytical signal of an established procedure caused by the presence of
interfering species (interferent). The interferent concentration is
presupposed to be normally distributed in representative samples of a
given matrix.
3. (a) If the MDL is to be determined in reagent water (blank),
prepare a laboratory standard (analyte in reagent water) at a
concentration which is at least equal to or in the same concentration
range as the estimated MDL. (Recommended between 1 and 5 times the
estimated MDL.) Proceed to Step 4.
(b) If the MDL is to be determined in another sample matrix, analyze
the sample. If the measured level of the analyte is in the recommended
range of one to five times the estimated MDL, proceed to Step 4.
If the measured concentration of analyte is less than the estimated
MDL, add a known amount of analyte to bring the concentration of analyte
to between one and five times the MDL. In the case where an
interference is coanalyzed with the analyte:
If the measured level of analyte is greater than five times the
estimated MDL, there are two options:
(1) Obtain another sample of lower level of analyte in same matrix if
possible.
(2) The sample may be used as is for determining the MDL if the
analyte level does not exceed 10 times the MDL of the analyte in reagent
water. The variance of the analytical method changes as the analyte
concentration increases from the MDL, hence the MDL determined under
these circumstances may not truly reflect method variance at lower
analyte concentrations.
4. (a) Take a minimum of seven aliquots of the sample to be used to
calculate the MDL and process each through the entire anlaytical method.
Make all computations according to the defined method with final
results in the method reporting units. If blank measurements are
required to calculate the measured level of analyte, obtain separate
blank measurements for each sample aliquot anlayzed. The average blank
measurement is subtracted from the respective sample measurements.
(b) It may be economically and technically desirable to evaluate the
estimated MDL before proceeding with 4a. This will: (1) Prevent
repeating this entire procedure when the costs of analyses are high and
(2) insure that the procedure is being conducted at the correct
concentration. It is quite possible that an incorrect MDL can be
calculated from data obtained at many times the real MDL even though the
background concentration of analyte is less than five times the
calculated MDL. To insure that the estimate of the MDL is a good
estimate, it is necessary to determine that a lower concentration of
analyte will not result in a significantly lower MDL. Take two aliquots
of the sample to be used to calculate the MDL and process each through
the entire method, including blank measurements as described above in
4a. Evaluate these data:
(1) If these measurements indicate the sample is in the desirable
range for determining the MDL, take five additional aliquots and
proceed. Use all seven measurements to calculate the MDL.
(2) If these measurements indicate the sample is not in the correct
range, reestimate the MDL, obtain new sample as in 3 and repeat either
4a or 4b.
5. Calculate the variance (S2) and standard deviation (S) of the
replicate measurements, as follows:
where: the xi, i = 1 to n are the analytical results in the final
method reporting units obtained from the n sample aliquots and
refers to the sum of the X values from i = 1 to n.
6. (a) Compute the MDL as follows:
MDL = t(n^1, 1^a = .99) (S)
where:
MDL=the method detection
t(n-1, 1-a=.99)=the students' t value appropriate for a 99 percent
confidence level and a standard deviation estimate with n-1 degrees of
freedom. See Table.
S=standard deviation of the replicate analyses.
(b) The 95 percent confidence limits for the MDL derived in 6a are
computed according to the following equations derived from percentiles
of the chi square over degrees of freedom distribution (X2/df) and
calculated as follows:
MDLLCL=0.69 MDL
MDLUCL=1.92 MDL where MDLLCL and MDLUCL are the lower and upper 95
percent confidence limits respectively based on seven aliquots.
7. Optional iterative procedure to verify the reasonableness of the
estimated MDL and calculated MDL of subsequent MDL determinations.
(a) If this is the initial attempt to compute MDL based on the
estimated MDL in Step 1, take the MDL as calculated in Step 6, spike in
the matrix at the calculated MDL and proceed through the procedure
starting with Step 4.
(b) If the current MDL determination is an iteration of the MDL
procedure for which the spiking level does not permit qualitative
identification, report the MDL as that concentration between the current
spike level and the previous spike level which allows qualitative
identification.
(c) If the current MDL determination is an iteration of the MDL
procedure and the spiking level allows qualitative identification, use
S2 from the current MDL calculation and S2 from the previous MDL
calculation to compute the F ratio.
then compute the pooled standard deviation by the following equation:
respike at the last calculated MDL and process the samples through
the procedure starting with Step 4.
(d) Use the Spooled as calculated in 7b to compute the final MDL
according to the following equation:
MDL=2.681 (Spooled)
where 2.681 is equal to t(12, 1^a=.99)
(e) The 95 percent confidence limits for MDL derived in 7c are
computed according to the following equations derived from percentiles
of the chi squared over degrees of freedom distribution.
MDLLCL=0.72 MDL
MDLUCL=1.65 MDL
where LCL and UCL are the lower and upper 95 percent confidence
limits respectively based on 14 aliquots.
The analytical method used must be specifically identified by number
or title and the MDL for each analyte expressed in the appropriate
method reporting units. If the analytical method permits options which
affect the method detection limit, these conditions must be specified
with the MDL value. The sample matrix used to determine the MDL must
also be identified with the MDL value. Report the mean analyte level
with the MDL. If a laboratory standard or a sample that contained a
known amount analyte was used for this determination, report the mean
recovery, and indicate if the MDL determination was iterated.
If the level of the analyte in the sample matrix exceeds 10 times the
MDL of the analyte in reagent water, do not report a value for the MDL.

of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best
practicable control technology currently available.
(a) In establishing the limitation set forth in this section, EPA
took into account all information it was able to collect, develop and
solicit with respect to factors (such as age and size of plant, raw
materials, manufacturing processes, products produced, treatment
technology available, energy requirements and costs) which can affect
the industry subcategorization and effluent levels established. It is,
however, possible that data which would affect these limitations have
not been available and, as a result, these limitations should be
adjusted for certain plants in this industry. An individual discharger
or other interested person may submit evidence to the Regional
Administrator (or to the State, if the State has the authority to issue
NPDES permits) that factors relating to the equipment or facilities
involved, the process applied, or other such factors related to such
discharger are fundamentally different from the factors considered in
the establishment of the guidelines. On the basis of such evidence or
other available information, the Regional Administrator (or the State)
will make a written finding that such factors are or are not
fundamentally different for that facility compared to those specified in
the Development Document. If such fundamentally different factors are
found to exist, the Regional Administrator or the State shall establish
for the discharger effluent limitations in the NPDES permit either more
or less stringent than the limitations established herein, to the extent
dictated by such fundamentally different factors. Such limitations must
be approved by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Administrator may approve or disapprove such limitations, specify
other limitations, or initiate proceedings to revise these regulations.
(b) The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of
pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this section, which
may be discharged by a point source subject to the provisions of this
subpart after application of the best practicable control technology

source subject to the provisions of this subpart, including those plants
where (c) raw materials are melted in a furnace and mechanically
processed into incandescent lamp envelopes or (d) incandescent lamp
envelopes are etched with hydrofluoric acid to produce frosted
envelopes. Because of the recognition that animal and vegetable oils
can be adequately removed in a publicly owned treatment works, whereas
mineral oil may not be readily removed and may pass through untreated,
two separate limitations are established.

blown glass manufacturing subcategory.
The provisions of this subpart are applicable to discharges resulting
from the process by which raw materials are melted in a furnace and
processed by hand into pressed or blown glassware. This includes those
plants which: (a) Produce leaded glass and employ hydrofluoric acid
finishing techniques, (b) produce non-leaded glass and employ
hydrofluoric acid finishing techniques, or (c) produce leaded or
non-leaded glass and do not employ hydrofluoric acid finishing

and methods of analysis set forth in Part 401 of this chapter shall
apply to this subpart.
40 CFR 426.132 Effluent limitations guidelines representing the degree
of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best
practicable control technology currently available.
In establishing the limitations set forth in this section, EPA took
into account all information it was able to collect, develop and solicit
with respect to factors (such as age and size of plant, raw materials,
manufacturing processes, products produced, treatment technology
available, energy requirements and costs) which can affect the industry
subcategorization and effluent levels established. It is, however,
possible that data which would affect these limitations have not been
available and, as a result, these limitations should be adjusted for
certain plants in this industry. An individual discharger or other
interested person may submit evidence to the Regional Administrator (or
to the State, if the State has the authority to issue NPDES permits)
that factors relating to the equipment or facilities involved, the
process applied, or other such factors related to such discharger are
fundamentally different from the factors considered in the establishment
of the guidelines. On the basis of such evidence or other available
information, the Regional Administrator (or the State) will make a
written finding that such factors are or are not fundamentally different
for that facility compared to those specified in the Development
Document. If such fundamentally different factors are found to exist,
the Regional Administrator or the State shall establish for the
discharger effluent limitations in the NPDES permit either more or less
stringent than the limitations established herein, to the extent
dictated by such fundmentally different factors. Such limitations must
be approved by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Administrator may approve or disapprove such limitations, specify
other limitations, or initiate proceedings to revise these regulations.
The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of
pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this section, which
may be discharged by a point source subject to the provisions of this
subpart after application of the best practicable control technology
currently available:
(a) Any plant which melts raw materials, produces hand pressed or
blown leaded glassware, employs hydrofluoric acid finishing techniques,
and discharges greater than 50 gallons per day of process waste water,
shall meet the following limitations.
(b) Any plant which melts raw materials, produces non-leaded hand
pressed or blown glassware, discharges greater than 50 gallons per day
of process waste water, and employs hydrofluoric acid finishing
techniques shall meet the following limitations.
(c) Any plant which melts raw materials, produces leaded or
non-leaded hand pressed or blown glassware, discharges greater than 50
gallons per day of process waste water, and does not employ hydrofluoric
acid finishing techniques shall meet the following limitations.
40 CFR 426.133 Effluent limitations guidelines representing the degree

The provisions of this subpart are applicable to discharges resulting
from the removal of volatilized organic materials from atmospheric
emissions by means of wet scrubbers.
40 CFR 427.101 Specialized definitions.
For the purpose of this subpart:
(a) Except as provided below, the general definitions, abbreviations,

subpart.
40 CFR 427.102 Effluent limitations guidelines representing the degree
of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best
practicable control technology currently available.
(a) In establishing the limitations set forth in this section, EPA
took into account all information it was able to collect, develop, and
solicit with respect to factors (such as age and size of plant, raw
materials, manufacturing processes, products produced, treatment
technology available, energy requirements and costs) which can affect
the industry subcategorization and effluent levels established. It is,
however, possible that data which would affect these limitations have
not been available and, as a result, these limitations should be
adjusted for certain plants in this industry. An individual discharger
or other interested person may submit evidence to the Regional
Administrator (or to the State, if the State has the authority to issue
NPDES permits) that factors relating to the equipment or facilities
involved, the process applied, or other such factors related to such
discharger are fundamentally different from the factors considered in
the establishment of the guidelines. On the basis of such evidence or
other available information, the Regional Administrator (or the State)
will make a written finding that such factors are or are not
fundamentally different for that facility compared to those specified in
the Development Document. If such fundamentally different factors are
found to exist, the Regional Administrator or the State shall establish
for the discharger effluent limitations in the NPDES permit either more
or less stringent than the limitations established herein, to the extent
dictated by such fundamentally different factors. Such limitations must
be approved by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Administrator may approve or disapprove such limitations, specify
other limitations, or initiate proceedings to revise these regulations.
(b) The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of
pollutants or pollutant properties which may be discharged by a point
source subject to the provisions of this subpart after application of
the best practicable control technology currently available: There
shall be no discharge of process waste water pollutants to navigable
waters.

In establishing the limitations set forth in this section, EPA took
into account all information it was able to collect, develop and solicit
with respect to factors (such as age and size of plant, raw materials,
manufacturing processes, products produced, treatment technology
available, energy requirements and costs) which can affect the industry
subcategorization and effluent levels established. It is, however,
possible that data which would affect these limitations have not been
available and, as a result, these limitations should be adjusted for
certain plants in this industry. An individual discharger or other
interested person may submit evidence to the Regional Administrator (or
to the State, if the State has the authority to issue NPDES permits)
that factors relating to the equipment or facilities involved, the
process applied, or other such factors related to such discharger are
fundamentally different from the factors considered in the establishment
of the guidelines. On the basis of such evidence or other available
information, the Regional Administrator (or the State) will make a
written finding that such factors are or are not fundamentally different
for that facility compared to those specified in the Development
Document. If such fundamentally different factors are found to exist,
the Regional Administrator or the State shall establish for the
discharger effluent limitations in the NPDES permit either more or less
stringent than the limitations established herein, to the extent
dictated by such fundamentally different factors. Such limitations must
be approved by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Administrator may approve or disapprove such limitations, specify
other limitations, or initiate proceedings to revise these regulations.
(a) The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of
pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this section, which
may be discharged by a point source subject to the provisions of this
subpart after application of the best practicable control technology
currently available:
(b) All plants constructed before 1959 shall employ the best
practicable maintenance and housekeeping practices in order to minimize
the discharge of oil and grease in nonprocess waste waters. The
concentration of oil and grease in discharges of nonprocess waste water
shall meet the following limitations:
(1) The average of daily values for 30 consecutive days shall not
exceed 5 mg/l.
(2) The maximum for any one day shall not exceed 10 mg/l.

of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best
practicable control technology currently available.
In establishing the limitations set forth in this section, EPA took
into account all information it was able to collect, develop and solicit
with respect to factors (such as age and size of plant, raw materials,
manufacturing processes, products produced, treatment technology
available, energy requirements and costs) which can affect the industry
subcategorization and effluent levels established. It is, however,
possible that data which would affect these limitations have not been
available and, as a result, these limitations should be adjusted for
certain plants in this industry. An individual discharger or other
interested person may submit evidence to the Regional Administrator (or
to the State, if the State has the authority to issue NPDES permits) and
factors relating to the equipment or facilities involved, the process
applied, or other such factors related to such discharger are
fundamentally different from the factors considered in the establishment
of the guidelines. On the basis of such evidence or other available
information, the Regional Administrator (or the State) will make a
written finding that such factors are or are not fundamentally different
for that facility compared to those specified in the Development
Document. If such fundamentally different factors are found to exist,
the Regional Administrator or the State shall establish for the
discharger effluent limitations in the NPDES permit either more or less
stringent than the limitations established herein, to the extent
dictated by such fundamentally different factors. Such limitations must
be approved by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Administrator may approve or disapprove such limitations, specify
other limitations, or initiate proceedings to revise these regulations.
The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of
pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this section, which
may be discharged by a point source subject to the provisions of this
subpart after application of the best practicable control technology

The pretreatment standards under section 307(c) of the Act for a
source within the latex rubber subcategory, which is a user of a
publicly owned treatment works (and which would be a new source subject
to section 306 of the Act, if it were to discharge pollutants to the
navigable waters), shall be the standard set forth in 40 CFR Part 128,
except that, for the purpose of this section, 40 CFR 128.133 shall be
amended to read as follows:
In addition to the prohibitions set forth in 40 CFR 128.131, the
pretreatment standard for incompatible pollutants introduced into a
publicly owned treatment works shall be the standard of performance for
new sources specified in 40 CFR 428.45; provided that, if the publicly
owned treatment works which receives the pollutants is committed, in its
NPDES permit, to remove a specified percentage of any incompatible
pollutant, the pretreatment standard applicable to users of such
treatment works shall, except in the case of standards providing for no
discharge of pollutants, be correspondingly reduced in stringency for
that pollutant.

In establishing the limitations set forth in this section, EPA took
into account all information it was able to collect, develop and solicit
with respect to factors (such as age and size of plant, raw materials,
manufacturing processes, products produced, treatment technology
available, energy requirements and costs) which can affect the industry
subcategorization and effluent levels established. It is, however,
possible that data which would affect these limitations have not been
available and, as a result, these limitations should be adjusted for
certain plants in this industry. An individual discharger or other
interested person may submit evidence to the Regional Administrator (or
to the State, if the State has the authority to issue NPDES permits)
that factors relating to the equipment or facilities involved, the
process applied, or other such factors related to such discharger are
fundamentally different from the factors considered in the establishment
of the guidelines. On the basis of such evidence or other available
information, the Regional Administrator (or the State) will make a
written finding that such factors are or are not fundamentally different
for that facility compared to those specified in the Development
Document. If such fundamentally different factors are found to exist,
the Regional Administrator or the State shall establish for the
discharger effluent limitations in the NPDES permit either more or less
stringent than the limitations established herein, to the extent
dictated by such fundamentally different factors. Such limitations must
be approved by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Administrator may approve or disapprove such limitations, specify
other limitations, or initiate proceedings to revise these regulations.

that removes bark from wood by the use of water under a pressure of 6.8
atm (100 psia) or greater.
(b) The terms ''cubic feet'' or ''cubic meters'' of production in
Subpart A means the cubic feet or cubic meters of logs from which bark
is removed.
(c) The term ''process wastewater'' specifically excludes noncontact
cooling water, material storage yard runoff (either raw material or
processed wood storage), and boiler blowdown. For the dry process
hardboard, veneer, finishing, particleboard, and sawmills and planing
mills subcategories, fire control water is excluded from the definition.
(d) The term ''gross production of fiberboard products'' means the
air dry weight of hardboard or insulation board following formation of
the mat and prior to trimming and finishing operations.
(e) The term ''hardboard'' means a panel manufactured from
interfelted ligno-cellulosic fibers consolidated under heat and pressure
to a density of 0.5 g/cu cm (31 lb/cu ft) or greater.
(f) The term ''insulation board'' means a panel manufactured from
interfelted ligno-cellulosic fibers consolidated to a density of less
than 0.5 g/cu cm (less than 31 lb/cu ft).
(g) The term ''smooth-one-side (S1S) hardboard'' means hardboard
which is produced by the wet-matting, wet-pressing process.
(h) The term ''smooth-two-sides (S2S) hardboard'' means hardboard
which is produced by the wet-matting, dry-pressing process.
(i) The term ''debris'' means woody material such as bark, twigs,
branches, heartwood or sapwood that will not pass through a 2.54 cm (1.0
in) diameter round opening and is present in the discharge from a wet
storage facility.
(j) For the subcategories for which numerical limitations are given,
the daily maximum limitation is a value that should not be exceeded by
any one effluent measurement. The 30-day limitation is a value that
should not be exceeded by the average of daily measurements taken during
any 30-day period.

40 CFR 429.176 General Provisions
40 CFR 430.00 Applicability.
This part applies to any pulp, paper, or paperboard mill which
discharges or may discharge process wastewater pollutants to the waters
of the United States, or which introduces or may introduce process
wastewater pollutants into a publicly owned treatment works.
40 CFR 430.01 General definitions.
In addition to the definitions set forth in 40 CFR Part 401, the
following definitions apply to this part:
(a) Production shall be defined as the annual off-the-machine
production (including off-the-machine coating where applicable) divided
by the number of operating days during that year. Paper and paperboard
production shall be measured at the off-the-machine moisture content,
except for Subparts A, B, D, and E where paper and paperboard production
shall be measured in air-dry-tons (10% moisture content). Market pulp
shall be measured in air-dry-tons (10% moisture). Production shall be
determined for each mill based upon past production practices, present
trends, or committed growth.
(b) Wet barking operations shall be defined to include hydraulic
barking operations and wet drum barking operations which are those drum
barking operations that use substantial quantities of water in either
water sprays in the barking drums or in a partial submersion of the
drums in a ''tub'' of water.
(c) A non-continuous discharger is a mill which is prohibited by the
NPDES authority from discharging pollutants during specific periods of
time for reasons other than treatment plant upset control, such periods
being at least 24 hours in duration. A mill shall not be deemed a
non-continuous discharger unless its permit, in addition to setting
forth the prohibition described above, requires compliance with the
effluent limitations established for non-continuous dischargers and also
requires compliance with maximum day and average of 30 consecutive days
effluent limitations. Such maximum day and average of 30 consecutive
days effluent limitations for non-continuous dischargers shall be
established by the NPDES authority in the form of concentrations which
reflect wastewater treatment levels that are representative of the
application of the best practicable control technology currently
available, the best conventional pollutant control technology, or new
source performance standards in lieu of the maximum day and average of
30 consecutive days effluent limitations for conventional pollutants set
forth in each subpart.

subcategory.
The provisions of this subpart are applicable to discharges resulting
from the production of red meat carcasses, in whole or part, by simple
slaughterhouses.
40 CFR 432.11 Specialized definitions.
For the purpose of this subpart:
(a) Except as provided below, the general definitions, abbreviations
and methods of analysis set forth in 40 CFR Part 401 shall apply to this
subpart.
(b) The term ''slaughterhouse'' shall mean a plant that slaughters
animals and has as its main product fresh meat as whole, half or quarter
carcasses or smaller meat cuts.
(c) The term ''simple slaughterhouse'' shall mean a slaughterhouse
which accomplishes very limited by-product processing, if any, usually
no more than two of such operations as rendering, paunch and viscera
handling, blood processing, hide processing, or hair processing.
(d) The term ''LWK'' (live weight killed) shall mean the total weight
of the total number of animals slaughtered during the time to which the
effluent limitations apply; i.e., during any one day or any period of
thirty consecutive days.
(e) The term ''ELWK'' (equivalent live weight killed) shall mean the
total weight of the total number of animals slaughtered at locations
other than the slaughterhouse or packinghouse, which animals provide
hides, blood, viscera or renderable materials for processing at that
slaughterhouse, in addition to those derived from animals slaughtered on
site.
(f) The term ''oil and grease'' shall mean those components of
process waste water amenable to measurement by the method described in
''Methods for Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastes,'' 1971, EPA,
Analytical Quality Control Laboratory, page 217.
40 CFR 432.12 Effluent limitations guidelines representing the degree
of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best
practicable control technology currently available.
In establishing the limitations set forth in this section, EPA took
into account all information it was able to collect, develop and solicit
with respect to factors (such as age and size of plant, raw materials,
manufacturing processes, products produced, treatment technology
available, energy requirements and costs) which can affect the industry
subcategorization and effluent levels established. It is, however,
possible that data which would affect these limitations have not been
available and, as a result, these limitations should be adjusted for
certain plants in this industry. An individual discharger or other
interested person may submit evidence to the Regional Administrator (or
to the State, if the State has the authority to issue NPDES permits)
that factors relating to the equipment or facilities involved, the
process applied, or other such factors related to such discharger are
fundamentally different from the factors considered in the establishment
of the guidelines. On the basis of such evidence or other available
information, the Regional Administrator (or the State) will make a
written finding that such factors are or are not fundamentally different
for that facility compared to those specified in the Development
Document. If such fundamentally different factors are found to exist,
the Regional Administrator or the State shall establish for the
discharger effluent limitations in the NPDES permit either more or less
stringent than the limitations established herein, to the extent
dictated by such fundamentally different factors. Such limitations must
be approved by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Administrator may approve or disapprove such limitations, specify
other limitations, or initiate proceedings to revise these regulations.
(a) The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of
pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this section and
attributable to on-site slaughter or subsequent meat, meat product or
by-product processing of carcasses of animals slaughtered on-site, which
may be discharged by a point source subject to the provisions of this
subpart after application of the best practicable control technology
currently available:
(b) The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of
pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this section and
attributable to the processing (defleshing, washing and curing) of hides
derived from animals slaughtered at locations other than the
slaughterhouse, which may be discharged by a point source subject to the
provisions of this subpart, in addition to the discharge allowed by
432.12(a):
(c) The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of
pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this section and
attributable to the processing of blood derived from animals slaughtered
at locations other than the slaughterhouse, which may be discharged by a
point source subject to the provisions of this subpart, in addition to
the discharge allowed by 432.12(a):
(d) The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of
pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this section and
attributable to the wet or low temperature rendering of material derived
from animals slaughtered at locations other than the slaughterhouse,
which may be discharged by a point source subject to the provisions of
this subpart, in addition to the discharge allowed by 432.12(a):
(e) The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of
pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this section and
attributable to the dry rendering of material derived from animals
slaughtered at locations other than the slaughterhouse, which may be
discharged by a point source subject to the provisions of this subpart,
in addition to the discharge allowed by 432.12(a):

In establishing the limitations set forth in this section, EPA took
into account all information it was able to collect, develop and solicit
with respect to factors (such as age and size of plant, raw materials,
manufacturing processes, products produced, treatment technology
available, energy requirements and costs) which can affect the industry
subcategorization and effluent levels established. It is, however,
possible that data which would affect these limitations have not been
available and, as a result, these limitations should be adjusted for
certain plants in this industry. An individual discharger or other
interested person may submit evidence to the Regional Administrator (or
to the State, if the State has the authority to issue NPDES permits)
that factors relating to the equipment or facilities involved, the
process applied, or other such factors related to such discharger are
fundamentally different from the factors considered in the establishment
of the guidelines. On the basis of such evidence or other available
information, the Regional Administrator (or the State) will make a
written finding that such factors are or are not fundamentally different
for that facility compared to those specified in the Development
Document. If such fundamentally different factors are found to exist,
the Regional Administrator or the State shall establish for the
discharger effluent limitations in the NPDES permit either more or less
stringent than the limitations established herein, to the extent
dictated by such fundamentally different factors. Such limitations must
be approved by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Administrator may approve or disapprove such limitations, specify
other limitations, or initiate proceedings to revise these regulations.

40 CFR 432.72 Effluent limitations guidelines representing the degree
of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best
practicable control technology currently available.
(a) In establishing the limitations set forth in this section, EPA
took into account all information it was able to collect, develop and
solicit with respect to factors (such as age and size of plant, raw
materials, manufacturing processes, products produced, treatment
technology available, energy requirements and costs) which can affect
the industry subcategorization and effluent levels established. It is,
however, possible that data which would affect these limitations have
not been available and, as a result, these limitations should be
adjusted for certain plants in this industry. An individual discharger
or other interested person may submit evidence to the Regional
Administrator (or to the State, if the State has the authority to issue
NPDES permits) that factors relating to the equipment or facilities
involved, the process applied, or other such factors related to such
discharger are fundamentally different from the factors considered in
the establishment of the guidelines. On the basis of such evidence or
other available information, the Regional Administrator (or the State)
will make a written finding that such factors are or are not
fundamentally different for that facility compared to those specified in
the Development Document. If such fundamentally different factors are
found to exist, the Regional Administrator or the State shall establish
for the discharger effluent limitations in the NPDES permit either more
or less stringent than the limitations established herein, to the extent
dictated by such fundamentally different factors. Such limitations must
be approved by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Administrator may approve or disapprove such limitations, specify
other limitations, or initiate proceedings to revise these regulations.

40 CFR 433.12 Monitoring requirements.
(a) In lieu of requiring monitoring for TTO, the permitting authority
(or, in the case of indirect dischargers, the control authority) may
allow dischargers to make the following certification statement:
''Based on my inquiry of the person or persons directly responsible for
managing compliance with the permit limitation (or pretreatment
standard) for total toxic organics (TTO), I certify that, to the best of
my knowledge and belief, no dumping of concentrated toxic organics into
the wastewaters has occurred since filing of the last discharge
monitoring report. I further certify that this facility is implementing
the toxic organic management plan submitted to the permitting (or
control) authority.'' For direct dischargers, this statement is to be
included as a ''comment'' on the Discharge Monitoring Report required by
40 CFR 122.44(i), formerly 40 CFR 122.62(i). For indirect dischargers,
the statement is to be included as a comment to the periodic reports
required by 40 CFR 403.12(e). If monitoring is necessary to measure
compliance with the TTO standard, the industrial discharger need analyse
for only those pollutants which would reasonably be expected to be
present.
(b) In requesting the certification alternative, a discharger shall
submit a solvent management plan that specifies to the satisfaction of
the permitting authority (or, in the case of indirect dischargers, the
control authority) the toxic organic compounds used; the method of
disposal used instead of dumping, such as reclamation, contract hauling,
or incineration; and procedures for ensuring that toxic organics do not
routinely spill or leak into the wastewater. For direct dischargers,
the permitting authority shall incorporate the plan as a provision of
the permit.
(c) Self-monitoring for cyanide must be conducted after cyanide
treatment and before dilution with other streams. Alternatively,
samples may be taken of the final effluent, if the plant limitations are
adjusted based on the dilution ratio of the cyanide waste stream flow to
the effluent flow.

(a) In establishing the limitations set forth in this section, EPA
took into account all information it was able to collect, develop and
solicit with respect to factors (such as age and size of facility, raw
materials, manufacturing processes, products produced, treatment
technology available, energy requirements and costs) which can affect
the industry subcategorization and effluent levels established. It is,
however, possible that data which would affect these limitations have
not been available and, as a result, these limitations should be
adjusted for certain facilities in this industry. An individual
discharger or other interested person may submit evidence to the
Regional Administrator (or to the State, if the State has the authority
to issue NPDES permits) that factors relating to the equipment or
facilities involved, the process applied, or other such factors related
to such discharger are fundamentally different from the factors
considered in the establishment of the guidelines. On the basis of such
evidence or other available information, the Regional Administrator (or
the State) will make a written finding that such factors are or are not
fundamentally different for that facility compared to those specified in
the Development Document. If such fundamentally different factors are
found to exist, the Regional Administrator or the State shall establish
for the discharger effluent limitations in the NPDES permit either more
or less stringent than the limitations established herein, to the extent
dictated by such fundamentally different factors. Such limitations must
be approved by the Administrator of the Environmental Protectional
Agency. The Administrator may approve or disapprove such limitations,
specify other limitations, or initiate proceedings to revise these
regulations.

40 CFR 436.22 Effluent limitations guidelines representing the degree
of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best
practicable control technology currently available.
In establishing the limitations set forth in this section, EPA took
into account all information it was able to collect, develop and solicit
with respect to factors (such as age and size of plant, raw materials,
manufacturing processes, products produced, treatment technology
available, energy requirements and costs) which can affect the industry
subcategorization and effluent levels established. It is, however,
possible that data which would affect these limitations have not been
available and, as a result, these limitations should be adjusted for
certain plants in this industry. An individual discharger or other
interested person may submit evidence to the Regional Administrator (or
to the State, if the State has the authority to issue NPDES permits)
that factors relating to the equipment or facilities involved, the
process applied, or other such factors related to such discharger are
fundamentally different from the factors considered in the establishment
of the guidelines. On the basis of such evidence or other available
information, the Regional Administrator (or the State) will make a
written finding that such factors are or are not fundamentally different
for that facility compared to those specified in the Development
Document. If such fundamentally different factors are found to exist,
the Regional Administrator or the State shall establish for the
discharger effluent limitations in the NPDES permit either more or less
stringent than the limitations established herein, to the extent
dictated by such fundamentally different factors. Such limitations must
be approved by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Administrator may approve or disapprove such limitations, specify
other limitations, or initiate proceedings to revise these regulations.
(a) Subject to the provisions of paragraphs (b) and (c) of this
section, the following limitations establish the quantity or quality of
pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this section, which
may be discharged by a point source subject to the provisions of this
subpart after application of the best practicable control technology
currently available:
(1) Discharges of process generated waste water pollutants from
facilities that recycle waste water for use in processing shall not
exceed the following limitations:
(2) Mine dewatering discharges shall not exceed the following
limitations:
(b) Any overflow from facilities governed by this subpart shall not
be subject to the limitations of paragraph (a) of this section if the
facilities are designed, constructed and maintained to contain or treat
the volume of waste water which would result from a 10-year 24-hour
precipitation event.
(c) In the case of a discharge into receiving waters for which the
pH, if unaltered by man's activities, is or would be less than 6.0 and
water quality criteria in water quality standards approved under the Act
authorize such lower pH, the pH limitations for such discharge may be
adjusted downward to the pH water quality criterion for the receiving
waters. In no case shall a pH limitation outside the range 5.0 to 9.0
be permitted.

40 CFR 436.122 Effluent limitations guidelines representing the degree
of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best
practicable control technology currently available.
In establishing the limitations set forth in this section, EPA took
into account all information it was able to collect, develop and solicit
with respect to factors (such as age and size of plant, raw materials,
manufacturing processes, products produced, treatment technology
available, energy requirements and costs) which can affect the industry
subcategorization and effluent levels established. It is, however,
possible that data which would affect these limitations have not been
available and, as a result, these limitations should be adjusted for
certain plants in this industry. An individual discharger or other
interested person may submit evidence to the Regional Administrator (or
to the State, if the State has the authority to issue NPDES permits)
that factors relating to the equipment or facilities involved, the
process applied, or other such factors related to such discharger are
fundamentally different from the factors considered in the establishment
of the guidelines. On the basis of such evidence or other available
information, the Regional Administrator (or the State) will make a
written finding that such factors are or are not fundamentally different
for that facility compared to those specified in the Development
Document. If such fundamentally different factors are found to exist,
the Regional Administrator or the State shall establish for the
discharger effluent limitations in the NPDES permit either more or less
stringent than the limitations established herein, to the extent
dictated by such fundamentally different factors. Such limitations must
be approved by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Administrator may approve or disapprove such limitations, specify
other limitations, or initiate proceedings to revise these regulations.
The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of
pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this section, which
may be discharged by a point source subject to the provisions of this
subpart after application of the best practicable control technology
currently available:

the Regional Administrator or the State shall establish for the
discharger effluent limitations in the NPDES permit either more or less
stringent than the limitations established herein, to the extent
dictated by such fundamentally different factors. Such limitations must
be approved by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Administrator may approve or disapprove such limitations, specify

available, energy requirements and costs) which can affect the industry
subcategorization and effluent levels established. It is, however,
possible that data which would affect these limitations have not been
available and, as a result, these limitations should be adjusted for
certain plants in this industry. An individual discharger or other
interested person may submit evidence to the Regional Administrator (or
to the State, if the State has the authority to issue NPDES permits)
that factors relating to the equipment or facilities involved, the
process applied, or other such factors related to such discharger are
fundamentally different from the factors considered in the establishment
of the guidelines. On the basis of such evidence or other available
information, the Regional Administrator (or the State) will make a
written finding that such factors are or are not fundamentally different
for that facility compared to those specified in the Development
Document. If such fundamentally different factors are found to exist,
the Regional Administrator or the State shall establish for the
discharger effluent limitations in the NPDES permit either more or less
stringent than the limitations established herein, to the extent
dictated by such fundamentally different factors. Such limitations must
be approved by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Administrator may approve or disapprove such limitations, specify
other limitations, or initiate proceedings to revise these regulations.
The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of
pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this section, which
may be discharged by a point source subject to the provisions of this
subpart after application of the best practicable control technology

(a) Subject to the provisions of the following paragraphs of this
section, there shall be no discharge of process generated waste water
pollutants into navigable waters.
(b) Only that volume of water resulting from precipitation that
exceeds the maximum safe surge capacity of a process waste water
impoundment may be discharged from that impoundment. The height
difference between the maximum safe surge capacity level and the normal
operating level must be greater than the inches of rain representing the
10-year, 24-hour rainfall event as established by the National Climatic
Center, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for the locality
in which such impoundment is located.

For the purpose of this subpart:
(a) Except as provided below, the general definitions, abbreviations,

apply to this subpart.
(b) The term ''product'' shall mean pharmaceutical products derived

40 CFR 439.12 Effluent limitations representing the degree of effluent
reduction attainable by the application of the best practicable control

Except as provided in 40 CFR 125.30 through 125.32, any existing
point source subject to this subpart must achieve the following effluent
limitations representing the degree of effluent reduction attainable by
the application of the best practicable control technology currently
available (BPT).
(a) The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of
pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this paragraph, which
may be discharged by a fermentation products plant from a point source
subject to the provisions of this paragraph after application of the
best practicable control technology currently available:
(1) The allowable effluent discharge limitation for the daily average
mass of BOD5 in any calendar month shall be expressed in mass per unit
time and shall specifically reflect not less than 90% reduction in the
long term daily average raw waste content of BOD5 multiplied by a
variability factor of 3.0.
(2) The allowable effluent discharge limitation for the daily average
mass of COD in any calendar month shall be expressed in mass per unit
time and shall specifically reflect not less than 74 percent reduction
in the long term daily average raw waste content of COD multiplied by a
variability factor of 2.2.
(3) The long term daily average raw waste load for the pollutants
BOD5 and COD is defined as the average daily mass of each pollutant
discharged in the influent to the wastewater treatment system over a 12
consecutive month period within the most recent 36 months, which shall
include the greatest production effort.
(4) To assure equity in regulating discharges from the point sources
covered by this subpart of the point source category, calculation of raw
waste loads of BOD5 and COD for the purpose of determining NPDES permit
limitations (i.e., the base numbers to which the percent reductions are
applied) shall exclude any waste load associated with separable mycelia
and solvents in those raw waste loads, except that residual amounts of
mycelia and solvents remaining after the practice of recovery and/or
separate disposal or reuse may be included in the calculation of the raw
waste loads. These practices of removal, disposal, or reuse include
physical separation and removal of separable mycelia, recovery of
solvents from waste streams, incineration of concentrated solvent waste
streams (including tar still bottoms), and broth concentration for
disposal other than to the treatment system. This regulation does not
prohibit inclusion of such waste in the raw waste loads in fact, nor
does it mandate any specific practice, but rather describes the
rationale for determining the permit conditions. These limits may be
achieved by any of several or a combination thereof of programs and
practices.
(5) The pH shall be within the range of 6.0-9.0 standard units.
(6) The allowable effluent discharge limitation for the daily average
mass of TSS in any calendar month shall be 1.7 times the BOD5 limitation
determined in paragraph (a)(1) of this section.
(7) For those plants using or generating cyanide in the manufacturing
process, the allowable effluent discharge for cyanide is shown below.
(i) See table below:
(ii) If all cyanide-containing waste streams are diverted to a
cyanide destruction unit and the effluent from the cyanide destruction
unit is discharged to a biological treatment system, self-monitoring
must be conducted after cyanide treatment and before dilution with other
streams. Alternatively, self-monitoring may be conducted at the final
effluent discharge point, if the daily maximum cyanide limitation is
multiplied by 0.18, the maximum 30 day average cyanide limitation is
multiplied by 0.35, and both limitations are adjusted based on the
dilution ratio of the cyanide-contaminated waste stream flow to the
total process wastewater discharge flow. However, if all
cyanide-containing waste streams are not treated in a cyanide
destruction unit or if the effluent from the cyanide destruction unit is
not discharged to a biological treatment system, self-monitoring must be
conducted at the final effluent discharge point and the daily maximum
cyanide limitation must be multiplied by 0.18, the maximum 30 day
average cyanide limitation must be multiplied by 0.35, and both
limitations must be adjusted based on the dilution ratio of the
cyanide-contaminated waste stream flow to the total process wastewater
discharge flow. Permittees not using or generating cyanide must certify
to the permit-issuing authority that they are not using or generating
this compound.
(b) Dilution to meet the above effluent limitations may not be
practiced.

point source subject to this subpart where cyanide is used or generated
in the manufacturing process must achieve the following effluent
limitations representing the degree of effluent reduction attainable by
the application of the best available technology economically achievable

cyanide standard must be multiplied by 0.18, the maximum 30 day average
cyanide standard must be multiplied by 0.35, and both standards must be
adjusted based on the dilution ratio of the cyanide-contaminated waste

Except as provided in 40 CFR 125.30 through 125.32, any existing
point source subject to this subpart must achieve the following effluent
limitations representing the degree of effluent reduction attainable by
the application of the best practicable control technology currently
available (BPT).
(a) The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of
pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this paragraph, which
may be discharged by an extraction products plant from a point source
subject to the provisions of this paragraph after application of the
best practicable control technology currently available:
(1) The allowable discharge for the pollutant parameters BOD5 and COD
shall be expressed in mass per unit time and shall represent the
specified wastewater treatment efficiency in terms of a residual
discharge associated with an influent to the wastewater treatment plant
corresponding to the maximum production period for a given
pharmaceutical plant as defined in paragraph (a)(4) of this section.
(2) The allowable effluent discharge limitation for the daily average
mass of BOD5 in any calendar month shall specifically reflect not less
than 90 percent reduction in the long term daily average raw waste
content of BOD5 multiplied by a variability factor of 3.0. However, a
plant shall not be required to attain a maximum 30-day average BOD5
effluent limitation of less than the equivalent of 45 mg/l.
(3) The allowable effluent discharge limitation for the daily average
mass of COD in any calendar month shall specifically reflect not less
than 74 percent reduction in the long term daily average raw waste
content of COD multiplied by a variability factor of 2.2. However, a
plant shall not be required to attain a maximum 30-day average COD
effluent limitation of less than the equivalent of 220 mg/l.
(4) The long term daily average raw waste load for the pollutants
BOD5 and COD is defined as the average daily mass of each pollutant
discharged in the influent to the wastewater treatment system over a 12
consecutive month period within the most recent 36 months, which shall
include the greatest production effort.
(5) To assure equity in regulating discharges from the point sources
covered by this subpart of the point source category, calculation of raw
waste loads of BOD5 and COD for the purpose of determining NPDES permit
limitations (i.e., the base numbers to which the percent reductions are
applied) shall exclude any waste load associated with solvents in those
raw waste loads, except that residual amounts of solvents remaining
after the practice of recovery and/or separate disposal or reuse may be
included in the calculation of the raw waste loads. Those practices of
removal, disposal, or reuse include recovery of solvents from waste
streams and incineration of concentrated solvent waste streams
(including tar still bottoms). This regulation does not prohibit
inclusion of such wastes in the raw waste loads in fact, nor does it
mandate any specific practice, but rather describes the rationale for
determining the permit conditions. These limits may be achieved by any

The provisions of this subpart are applicable to discharges resulting
from the manufacture of pharmaceuticals by chemical synthesis.
40 CFR 439.31 Specialized definitions.
For the purpose of this subpart:
(a) Except as provided below, the general definitions, abbreviations,
and methods of analysis set forth in 40 CFR 401 and 439.01 of this
chapter shall apply to this subpart.
(b) The term ''product'' shall mean pharmaceutical products derived
from chemical synthesis processes.
40 CFR 439.32 Effluent limitations representing the degree of effluent
reduction attainable by the application of the best practicable control
technology currently available (BPT).
Except as provided in 40 CFR 125.30 through 125.32, any existing
point source subject to this subpart must achieve the following effluent
limitations representing the degree of effluent reduction attainable by
the application of the best practicable control technology currently
available (BPT).
(a) The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of
pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this paragraph, which
may be discharged by a chemical synthesis plant from a point source
subject to the provisions of this paragraph after application of the
best practicable control technology currently available:
(1) The allowable discharge for the pollutant parameters BOD5 and COD
shall be expressed in mass per unit time and shall represent the
specified wastewater treatment efficiency in terms of a residual
discharge associated with an influent to the wastewater treatment plant
corresponding to the maximum production period for a given
pharmaceutical plant as defined in paragraph (a)(4) of this section.
(2) The allowable effluent discharge limitation for the daily average
mass of BOD5 in any calendar month shall specifically reflect not less
than 90 percent reduction in the long term daily average raw waste
content of BOD5 multiplied by a variability factor of 3.0.
(3) The allowable effluent discharge limitation for the daily average
mass of COD in any calendar month shall specifically reflect not less
than 74 percent reduction in the long term daily average raw waste
content of COD multiplied by a variability factor of 2.2.
(4) The long term daily average raw waste load for the pollutant
parameters BOD5 and COD is defined as the average daily mass of each
pollutant discharged in the influent to the wastewater treatment system
over a 12 consecutive month period within the most recent 36 months,
which shall include the greatest production effort.
(5) To assure equity in regulating discharges from the point sources
covered by this subpart of the point source category, calculation of raw
waste loads of BOD5 and COD for the purpose of determining NPDES permit
limitations (i.e., the base numbers to which the percent reductions are
applied) shall exclude any waste load associated with solvents in those
raw waste loads, except that residual amounts of solvents remaining
after the practice of recovery and/or separate disposal or reuse may be
included in the calculation of the raw waste loads. These practices of
removal, disposal, or reuse include recovery of solvents from waste
streams and incineration of concentrated solvent waste streams
(including tar still bottoms). This regulation does not prohibit
inclusion of such wastes in the raw waste loads in fact, nor does it
mandate any specific practice, but rather describes the rationale for
determining the permit conditions. These limits may be achieved by any
one of several or a combination thereof of programs and practices.
(6) The pH shall be within the range of 6.0 to 9.0 standard units.
(7) The allowable effluent discharge limitation for the daily average
mass of TSS in any calendar month shall be 1.7 times the BOD5 limitation
determined in paragraph (a)(2) of this section.

(ii) If all cyanide-containing waste streams are diverted to a
cyanide destruction unit and the effluent from the cyanide destruction
unit is discharged to a biological treatment system, self-monitoring
must be conducted after cyanide treatment and before dilution with other
streams. Alternatively, self-monitoring may be conducted at the final
effluent discharge point, if the daily maximum cyanide limitation is
multiplied by 0.18, the maximum 30-day average cyanide limitation is
multiplied by 0.35, and both limitations are adjusted based on the
dilution ratio of the cyanide-contaminated waste stream flow to the
total process wastewater discharge flow. However, if all
cyanide-containing waste streams are not treated in a cyanide
destruction unit or if the effluent from the cyanide destruction unit is

section, which may be discharged by a new source subject to the
provisions of this subpart.
(1)
(2) If all cyanide-containing waste streams are diverted to a cyanide
destruction unit and the effluent from the cyanide destruction unit is
discharged to a biological treatment system, self-monitoring must be
conducted after cyanide treatment and before dilution with other
streams. Alternatively, self-monitoring may be conducted at the final
effluent discharge point, if the daily maximum cyanide standard is
multiplied by 0.18, the maximum 30-day average cyanide standard is
multiplied by 0.35, and both standards are adjusted based on the
dilution ratio of the cyanide-contaminated waste stream flow to the
total process wastewater discharge flow. However, if all
cyanide-containing waste streams are not treated in a cyanide
destruction unit or if the effluent from the cyanide destruction unit is
not discharged to a biological treatment system, self-monitoring must be
conducted at the final effluent discharge point and the daily maximum
cyanide standard must be multiplied by 0.18, the maximum 30-day average
cyanide standard must be multiplied by 0.35, and both standards must be
adjusted based on the dilution ratio of the cyanide-contaminated waste
stream flow to the total process wastewater discharge flow. Only
facilities where cyanide is used or generated in the manufacturing
process are subject to cyanide standards. Permittees not using or
generating cyanide must certify to the permit-issuing authority that
they are not using or generating this compound.
(b) Dilution in order to meet the above standards may not be
practiced.

dilution ratio of contaminated waste stream flow to the total process
wastewater discharge flow. However, if all cyanide-containing waste
streams are not treated, self-monitoring must be conducted at the final
effluent discharge point and the cyanide standard must be adjusted based
on the dilution ratio of contaminated waste stream flow to the total

40 CFR 439.47 Subpart E -- Research Subcategory
40 CFR 439.50 Applicability; description of the research subcategory.
The provisions of this subpart are applicable to discharges resulting
from pharmaceutical research.
40 CFR 439.51 Specialized definitions.
For the purpose of this subpart:
(a) Except as provided below, the general definitions, abbreviations,
and methods of analysis set forth in in 40 CFR Part 401 and 439.01 shall
apply to this subpart.
(b) The term ''product'' shall mean products or services resulting
from pharmaceutical research, which includes microbiological,
biological, and chemical operations.
40 CFR 439.52 Effluent limitations representing the degree of effluent
reduction attainable by the application of the best practicable control
technology currently available (BPT).
Except as provided in 40 CFR 125.30 through 125.32, any existing
point source subject to this subpart must achieve the following effluent
limitations representing the degree of effluent reduction attainable by
the application of the best practicable control technology currently
available (BPT).
(a) The following limitations establish the quantity or quality of
pollutants or pollutant properties, controlled by this paragraph, which
may be discharged by a pharmaceutical research operation from a point
source subject to the provisions of this paragraph after application of
the best practicable control technology currently available:
(1) The allowable discharge for the pollutant parameters BOD5 and COD
shall be expressed in mass per unit time and shall represent the
specified wastewater treatment efficiency in terms of a residual
discharge associated with an influent to the wastewater treatment plant
corresponding to the maximum production period for a given
pharmaceutical plant as defined in paragraph (a)(4) of this section.
(2) The allowable effluent discharge limitation for the daily average
mass of BOD5 in any calendar month shall specifically reflect not less
than 90 percent reduction in the long term daily average raw waste
content of BOD5 multiplied by a variability factor of 3.0. However, a
plant shall not be required to attain a maximum 30-day average BOD5
effluent limitation of less than the equivalent of 45 mg/l.
(3) The allowable effluent discharge limitation for the daily average
mass of COD in any calendar month shall specifically reflect not less
than 74 percent reduction in the long term daily average raw waste
content of COD multiplied by a variability factor of 2.2. However, a
plant shall not be required to attain a maximum 30-day average COD
effluent limitation of less than the equivalent of 220 mg/l.
(4) The long term daily average raw waste load for the pollutant
parameters BOD5 and COD is defined as the average daily mass of each
pollutant influent to the wastewater treatment system over a 12
consecutive month period within the most recent 36 months, which shall
include the greatest production effort.
(5) To assure equity in regulation discharges from the point sources
covered by this subpart of the point source category, calculation of raw
waste loads of BOD5 and COD for the purpose of determining NPDES permit
limitations (i.e., the base numbers to which the percent reductions are
applied) shall exclude any waste load associated with solvents in those
raw waste loads, except that residual amounts of solvents remaining
after the practice of recovery and/or separate disposal or reuse may be
included in the calculation of the raw waste loads. These practices of
removal, disposal, or reuse include recovery of solvents from waste
streams and incineration of concentrated solvent waste streams
(including tar still bottoms). This regulation does not prohibit
inclusion of such wastes in the raw waste loads in fact, nor does it
mandate any specific practice, but rather describes the rationale for
determining the permit conditions. These limits may be achieved by any
one of several or a combination thereof of programs and practices.
(6) The allowable effluent discharge limitation for the daily average
mass of TSS in any calendar month shall be 1.7 times the BOD5 limitation
determined in paragraph (a)(2) of this section.
(7) The pH shall be within the range of 6.0-9.0 standard units.
(b) Dilution to meet the above effluent limitations may not be
practiced.

40 CFR 440.131 General provisions.
(a) Combined waste streams. In the event that waste streams from
various subparts or segments of subparts in Part 440 are combined for
treatment and discharge, the quantity and concentration of each
pollutant or pollutant property in the combined discharge that is
subject to effluent limitations shall not exceed the quantity and
concentration of each pollutant or pollutant property that could have
been discharged had each waste stream been treated separately. In
addition, the discharge flow from the combined discharge shall not
exceed the volume that could have been discharged had each waste stream
been treated separately.
(b) Storm exemption for facilities permitted to discharge. If, as a
result of precipitation or snowmelt, a source with an allowable
discharge under 40 CFR Part 440 has an overflow or excess discharge of
effluent which does not meet the limitations of 40 CFR Part 440, the
source may qualify for an exemption from such limitations with respect
to such discharge if the following conditions are met:
(1) The facility is designed, constructed and maintained to contain
the maximum volume of wastewater which would be generated by the
facility during a 24-hour period without an increase in volume from
precipitation and the maximum volume of wastewater resulting from a
10-year, 24-hour precipitation event or treat the maximum flow
associated with these volumes. In computing the maximum volume of
wastewater which would result from a 10-year, 24-hour precipitation
event, the facility must include the volume which would result from all
areas contributing runoff to the individual treatment facility, i.e.,
all runoff that is not diverted from the active mining area and runoff
which is not diverted from the mill area.
(2) The facility takes all reasonable steps to maintain treatment of
the wastewater and minimize the amount of overflow.
(3) The facility complies with the notification requirements of
122.60 (g) and (h). The storm exemption is designed to provide an
affirmative defense to an enforcement action. Therefore, the operator
has the burden of demonstrating to the appropriate authority that the
above conditions have been met.
(c) Storm exemption for facilities not permitted to discharge. If,
as a result of precipitation (rainfall or snowmelt), a source which is
not permitted to discharge under 40 CFR Part 440, has an overflow or
discharge which violates the limitations of 40 CFR Part 440, the source
may qualify for an exemption from such limitations with respect to such
discharge if the following conditions are met:
(1) The facility is designed, constructed, and maintained to contain
the maximum volume of wastewater stored and contained by the facility
during normal operating conditions without an increase in volume from
precipitation and the maximum volume of wastewater resulting from a
10-year, 24-hour precipitation event. In computing the maximum volume
of wastewater which would result from a 10-year, 24-hour precipitation
event, the facility must include the volume which would result from all
areas contributing runoff to the individual treatment facility, i.e.,
all runoff that is not diverted from the area or process subject to zero
discharge, and other runoff that is allowed to commingle with the
influent to the treatment system.
(2) The facility takes all reasonable steps to minimize the overflow
or excess discharge.
(3) The facility complies with the notification requirements of
122.60(g) and (h). The storm exemption is designed to provide an
affirmative defense to an enforcement action. Therefore, the operator
has the burden of demonstrating to the appropriate authority that the
above conditions have been met.
(d) pH adjustment. (1) Where the application of neutralization and
sedimentation technology to comply with relevant metal limitations
results in an inability to comply with the pH range of 6 to 9, the
permit issuer may allow the pH level in the final effluent to slightly
exceed 9.0 so that the copper, lead, zinc, mercury, and cadmium
limitations will be achieved.
(2) In the case of a discharge into natural receiving waters for
which the pH, if unaltered by human activities, is or would be less than
6.0 and approved water quality standards authorize such lower pH, the pH
limitations for the discharge may be adjusted downward to the pH water
quality criterion for the receiving waters provided the other effluent
limitations for the discharge are met. In no case shall a pH limitation
below 5.0 be permitted.
(e) Groundwater infiltration provision. In the event a new source
subject to a no discharge requirement can demonstrate that groundwater
infiltration contributes a substantial amount of water to the tailing
impoundment or wastewater holding facility, the permitting authority may
allow the discharge of a volume of water equivalent to the amount of
groundwater infiltration. This discharge shall be subject to the
limitations for mine drainage applicable to the new source subcategory.

solicit with respect to factors (such as age and size of plant, raw
materials, manufacturing processes, products produced, treatment
technology available, energy requirements and costs) which can affect
the industry subcategorization and effluent levels established. It is,
however, possible that data which would affect these limitations have
not been available and, as a result, these limitations should be
adjusted for certain plants in this industry. An individual discharger
or other interested person may submit evidence to the Regional
Administrator (or to the State, if the State has the authority to issue
NPDES permits) that factors relating to the equipment or facilities
involved, the process applied, or other such factors related to such
discharger are fundamentally different from the factors considered in
the establishment of the guidelines. On the basis of such evidence or
other available information, the Regional Administrator (or the State)
will make a written finding that such factors are or are not
fundamentally different for that facility compared to those specified in
the Development Document. If such fundamentally different factors are
found to exist, the Regional Administrator or the State shall establish
for the discharger effluent limitations in the NPDES permit either more
or less stringent than the limitations established herein, to the extent
dictated by such fundamentally different factors. Such limitations must
be approved by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Administrator may approve or disapprove such limitations, specify

solicit with respect to factors (such as age and size of plant, raw
materials, manufacturing processes, products produced, treatment
technology available, energy requirements and costs) which can affect
the industry subcategorization and effluent levels established. It is,
however, possible that data which would affect these limitations have
not been available, and as a result, these limitations should be
adjusted for certain plants in this industry. An individual discharger
or other interested person may submit evidence to the Regional
Administrator (or to the State, if the State has the authority to issue
NPDES permits) that factors relating to the equipment or facilities
involved, the process applied, or other such factors related to such

the establishment of the guidelines. On the basis of such evidence or
other available information, the Regional Administrator (or the State)
will make a written finding that such factors are or are not
fundamentally different for that facility compared to those specified in
the Development Document. If such fundamentally different factors are
found to exist, the Regional Administrator or the State shall establish
for the discharger effluent limitations in the NPDES permit either more
or less stringent than the limitations established herein to the extent
dictated by such fundamentally different factors. Such limitations must
be approved by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.

40 CFR 461.75 General Provisions
40 CFR 463.1 Applicability.
(a) This part applies to any plastics molding and forming process
that discharges or may discharge pollutants to waters of the United
States or that introduces pollutants into a publicly owned treatment
works. Plastics molding and forming processes include processes that
blend, mold, form, or otherwise process plastic materials into
intermediate or final plastic products. They include commonly
recognized processes such as extrusion, molding, coating and laminating,
thermoforming, calendering, casting, foaming, cleaning, and finishing.
(b) Plastics molding and forming processes (e.g., extrusion and
pelletizing) used by plastics resin manufacturers to process crude
intermediate plastic material for shipment off-site are excluded from
this regulation and regulated under the organic chemicals, plastics, and
synthetic fibers category. Plastics molding and forming processes used
by plastic resin manufacturers to process crude intermediate plastic
materials, which are further processed on-site into intermediate or
final plastics products in molding and forming processes, are controlled
by the effluent limitations guidelines and standards for the plastics
molding and forming category in this part.
(c) Processes that coat a plastic material onto a substrate may fall
within the definition of electroplating and metal finishing as defined
in 40 CFR Parts 413 and 433. These coating processes are excluded from
the effluent limitations guidelines and standards for the electroplating
and metal finishing point source categories and are subject to the
plastics molding and forming regulation in this part.
(d) Coating of plastic material onto a formed metal substrate is also
covered by the plastics molding and forming effluent limitations
guidelines and standards and is not covered by the specific metal
forming guidelines such as aluminum forming (40 CFR Part 467) copper
forming (40 CFR Part 468) and nonferrous metals forming (40 CFR Part
471). However, the plastics molding and forming effluent limitations
guidelines and standards in this part apply only to the coating process;
the metal forming operations are subject to the specific metal forming
regulation.
(e) Research and development laboratories that produce plastic
products using a plastics molding and forming process are subject to the
effluent limitations guidelines and standards in this part if the
plastics molding and forming process discharges process water. The mass
of plastic product produced in the plastics molding and forming process
is not considered when determining the applicability of the plastics
molding and forming regulation in this part to plastics molding and
forming processes at research and development laboratories.
(f) Chemical and thermal reticulation processes for polyurethane foam
are not subject to the effluent limitations guidelines and standards in
this part. Water used in those processes is not considered to be
process water as defined in this regulation. Processes used to further
mold or form the reticulated foam are subject, however, to this
regulation if they discharge process water.
(g) Processes used to regenerate cellulose and to produce a product
(e.g., rayon) from the regenerated cellulose are not subject to the
effluent limitations guidelines and standards in this part. Processes
that mold or form cellulose derivatives (e.g., cellulose acetate) are
subject to the effluent limitations guidelines and standards in this
part if they discharge process water.

40 CFR 463.2 General definitions.
In addition to the definitions set forth in 40 CFR Part 401, the
following definitions apply to this part:
(a) ''Plastics molding and forming'' is a manufacturing process in
which plastic materials are blended, molded, formed, or otherwise
processed into intermediate or final products.
(b) ''Process water'' is any raw, service, recycled, or reused water
that contacts the plastic product or contacts shaping equipment surfaces
such as molds and mandrels that are, or have been, in contact with the
plastic product.
(c) ''Contact cooling and heating water'' is process water that
contacts the raw materials or plastic product for the purpose of heat
transfer during the plastics molding and forming process.
(d) ''Cleaning water'' is process water used to clean the surface of
an intermediate or final plastic product or to clean the surfaces of
equipment used in plastics molding and forming that contact an
intermediate or final plastic product. It includes water used in both
the detergent wash and rinse cycles of a cleaning process.
(e) ''Finishing'' water is processed water used to remove waste
plastic material generated during a finishing process or to lubricate a
plastic product during a finishing process. It includes water used to
machine or to assemble intermediate or final plastic products.
(f) ''Plastic material'' is a synthetic organic polymer (i.e., a
thermoset polymer, a thermoplastic polymer, or a combination of a
natural polymer and a thermoset or thermoplastic polymer) that is solid
in its final form and that was shaped by flow. The material can be
either a homogeneous polymer or a polymer combined with fillers,
plasticizers, pigments, stabilizers, or other additives.
(g) ''Crude intermediate plastic material'' is plastic material
formulated in an on-site polymerization process.
(h) ''Mass of pollutant that can be discharged'' is the pollutant
mass calculated by multiplying the pollutant concentration times the
average process water usage flow rate.
40 CFR 463.3 Monitoring and reporting requirements.
The ''monthly average'' regulatory values shall be the basis for the
monthly average effluent limitations guidelines and standards in direct
discharge permits. Compliance with the monthly average effluent
limitations guidelines and standards is required regardless of the
number of samples analyzed and averaged.
40 CFR 463.3 Subpart A -- Contact Cooling and Heating Water Subcategory
40 CFR 463.10 Applicability; description of the contact cooling and
heating water subcategory.
This subpart applies to discharges of pollutants from processes in
the contact cooling and heating water subcategory to waters of the
United States and the introduction of such pollutants into publicly
owned treatment works. Processes in the contact cooling and heating
water subcategory are processes where process water comes in contact
with plastic materials or plastic products for the purpose of heat
transfer during plastics molding and forming.
40 CFR 463.11 Specialized definitions.
For the purpose of this subpart:
(a) The ''average process water usage flow rate'' of a contact
cooling and heating water process in liters per day is equal to the
volume of process water (liters) used per year by a process divided by
the number of days per year the process operates. The ''average process
water usage flow rate'' for a plant with more than one plastics molding
and forming process that uses contact cooling and heating water is the
sum of the ''average process water usage flow rates'' for the contact
cooling and heating processes.
(b) The ''volume of process water used per year'' is the volume of
process water that flows through a contact cooling and heating water
process and comes in contact with the plastic product over a period of
one year.
40 CFR 463.12 Effluent limitations guidelines representing the degree
of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the best
practicable control technology currently available.
Except as provided in 40 CFR 125.30 through 125.32, any existing
point source subject to this subpart must achieve the effluent
limitations guidelines (i.e., mass of pollutant discharged) representing
the degree of effluent reduction attainable by the application of the
best practicable control technology currently available, which are
calculated by multiplying the average process water usage flow rate for
the contact cooling and heating water processes at a point source times
the following pollutant concentrations:
The permit authority will obtain the average process water usage flow
rate for the contact cooling and heating water processes from the
permittee.

40 CFR 464.01 Applicability.
(a) This part applies to metal molding and casting facilities that
discharge or may discharge pollutants to waters of the United States or
that introduce pollutants into a publicly owned treatment works.
40 CFR 464.02 General definitions.
In addition to the definitions set forth in 40 CFR Part 401, the
following definitions apply to this part:
(a) Aluminum Casting. The remelting of aluminum or an aluminum alloy
to form a cast intermediate or final product by pouring or forcing the
molten metal into a mold, except for ingots, pigs, or other cast shapes
related to nonferrous (primary and secondary) metals manufacturing (40
CFR Part 421) and aluminum forming (40 CFR Part 467). Processing
operations following the cooling of castings not covered under aluminum
forming, except for grinding scrubber operations which are covered here,
are covered under the electroplating and metal finishing point source
categories (40 CFR Parts 413 and 433).
(b) Copper Casting. The remelting of copper or a copper alloy to
form a cast intermediate or final product by pouring or forcing the
molten metal into a mold, except for ingots, pigs, or other cast shapes
related to nonferrous (primary and secondary) metals manufacturing (40
CFR Part 421). Also excluded are casting of beryllium alloys in which
beryllium is present at 0.1 or greater percent by weight and precious
metals alloys in which the precious metal is present at 30 or greater
percent by weight. Except for grinding scrubber operations which are
covered here, processing operations following the cooling of castings
are covered under the electroplating and metal finishing point source
categories (40 CFR Parts 413 and 433).
(c) Ferrous Casting. The remelting of ferrous metals to form a cast
intermediate or finished product by pouring the molten metal into a
mold. Except for grinding scrubber operations which are covered here,
processing operations following the cooling of castings are covered
under the electroplating and metal finishing point source categories (40
CFR Parts 413 and 433).
(d) Zinc Casting. The remelting of zinc or zinc alloy to form a cast
intermediate or final product by pouring or forcing the molten metal
into a mold, except for ingots, pigs, or other cast shapes related to
nonferrous (primary) metals manufacturing (40 CFR Part 421) and
nonferrous metals forming (40 CFR Part 471). Processing operations
following the cooling of castings not covered under nonferrous metals
forming are covered under the electroplating and metal finishing point
source categories (40 CFR Parts 413 and 433).
(e) POTW shall mean ''publicly owned treatment works.''
(f) A non-continuous discharger is a plant which does not discharge
pollutants during specific periods of time for reasons other than
treatment plant upset, such periods being at least 24 hours in duration.
A typical example of a non-continuous discharger is a plant where
wastewaters are routinely stored for periods in excess of 24 hours to be
treated on a batch basis. For non-continuous discharging direct
discharging plants, NPDES permit authorities shall apply the mass-based
annual average effluent limitations or standards and the
concentration-based maximum day and maximum for monthly average effluent
limitations or standards established in the regulations. POTWs may
elect to establish concentration-based standards for non-continuous
discharges to POTWs. They may do so by establishing concentration-based
pretreatment standards equivalent to the mass-based standards provided
in 464.15, 464.16, 464.25, 464.26, 464.35, 464.36, 464.45, and 464.46
of the regulations. Equivalent concentration standards may be
established by following the procedures outlined in 464.03(b).
(g) Total Phenols shall mean total phenolic compounds as measured by
the procedure listed in 40 CFR Part 136 (distillation followed by
colorimetric -- 4AAP).
(h) Sm /3/ shall mean standard cubic meters.
(i) SCF shall means standard cubic feet.
(j) Total Toxic Organics (TTO) shall mean the sum of the mass of each
of the toxic organic compounds which are found at a concentration
greater than 0.010 mg/l. The specialized definitions for each subpart
contain a discrete list of toxic organic compounds comprising TTO for
each process segment in which TTO is regulated.
40 CFR 464.03 Monitoring and reporting requirements.
(a) As an alternative to monitoring for TTO (total toxic organics),
an indirect discharging plant may elect to monitor for Oil and Grease
instead. Compliance with the Oil and Grease standard shall be
considered equivalent to complying with the TTO standard. Alternate Oil
and Grease standards are provided as substitutes for the TTO standards
provided in 464.15, 464.16, 464.25, 464.26, 464.35, 464.36, 464.45,
and 464.46.
(b) POTWs may establish concentration standards rather than mass
standards, but must ensure that the concentration standards are exactly
equivalent to the mass-based standards provided in 464.15, 464.16,
464.25, 464.26, 464.35, 464.36, 464.45, and 464.46. Equivalent
concentration standards may be determined by multiplying the mass-based
standards included in the regulations by an appropriate measurement of
average production, raw material usage, or air scrubber flow (kkg of
metal poured, kkg of sand reclaimed, or standard cubic meters of air
scrubbed) and dividing by an appropriate measure of average discharge
flow to the POTW, taking into account the proper conversion factors to
ensure that the units (mg/l) are correct.
(c) The ''monthly average'' regulatory values shall be the basis for
the monthly average effluent limitations guidelines and standards in
direct discharge permits and for pretreatment standards. Compliance
with the monthly average effluent limitations guidelines and standards
is required regardless of the number of samples analyzed and averaged.
40 CFR 464.04 Compliance date for PSES.
The compliance date of PSES is October 31, 1988.

(b) Cast Iron. An iron containing carbon in excess of the solubility
in the austentite that exists in the alloy at the eutectic temperature.
Cast iron also is defined here to include any iron-carbon alloys
containing 1.2 percent or more carbon by weight.
(c) Ductile Iron. A cast iron that has been treated while molten
with a master alloy containing an element such as magnesium or cerium to
induce the formation of free graphite as nodules or spherules, which
imparts a measurable degree of ductility to the cast metal.
(d) Gray Iron. A cast iron that gives a gray fracture due to the
presence of flake graphite.
(e) Malleable Iron. A cast iron made by a prolonged anneal of white
cast iron in which decarburization or graphitization, or both, take
place to eliminate some or all of the cementite. Graphite is present in
the form of temper carbon.
(f) Steel. An iron-base alloy containing carbon, manganese, and
often other alloying elements. Steel is defined here to include only
those iron-carbon alloys containing less than 1.2 percent carbon by
weight.
(g) The ''primary metal cast'' shall mean the metal that is poured in
the greatest quantity at an individual plant.
(h) Multiple Ferrous Melting Furnace Scrubber Configuration. A
multiple ferrous melting furnace scrubber configuration is a
configuration where two or more discrete wet scrubbing devices are
employed in series in a single melting furnace exhaust gas stream. The
ferrous melting furnace scrubber mass allowance shall be given to each
discrete wet scrubbing device that has an associated wastewater
discharge in a multiple ferrous melting furnace scrubber configuration.
The mass allowance for each discrete wet scrubber shall be identical and
based on the air flow of the exhaust gas stream that passes through the
multiple scrubber configuration.
(i) Discrete Wet Scrubbing Device. A discrete wet scrubbing device
is a distinct, stand-alone device that removes particulates and fumes
from a contaminated gas stream by bringing the gas stream into contact
with a scrubber liquor, usually water, and from which there is a
wastewater discharge. Examples of discrete wet scrubbing devices are:
Spray towers and chambers, venturi scrubbers (fixed and variable), wet
caps, packed bed scrubbers, quenchers, and orifice scrubbers. Semi-wet
scrubbing devices where water is added and totally evaporates prior to
dry air pollution control are not considered to be discrete wet
scrubbing devices. Ancillary scrubber operations such as fan washes and
backwashes are not considered to be discrete wet scrubber devices.
These ancillary operations are covered by the mass limitations of the
associated scrubber. Aftercoolers are not considered to be discrete wet
scrubbing devices, and water discharges from aftercooling are not
regulated as a process wastewater in this category.

40 CFR 465.03 Monitoring and reporting requirements.
The following special monitoring requirements apply to all facilities
controlled by this regulation.
(a) Periodic analyses for cyanide are not required when both of the
following conditions are met:
(1) The first wastewater sample taken in each calendar year has been
analyzed and found to contain less than 0.07 mg/l cyanide
(2) The owner or operator of the coil coating facility certifies in
writing to the POTW authority or permit issuing authority that cyanide
is not used in the coil coating process.
(b) The ''monthly average'' regulatory values shall be the basis for
the monthly average discharge limits in direct discharge permits and for
pretreatment standards. Compliance with the monthly discharge limit is
required regardless of the number of samples analyzed and averaged.
(c) The following determination method shall be used for the
determination of the concentration of oil and grease in wastewater
samples from all subcategories of coil coating (Based on Standard
Methods, 15th Edition, Methods 503A and 503E). In this method, a
partition gravimetric procedure is used to determine hydrocarbon
(petroleum based) oil and grease (O&G-E).
(1) Apparatus. (i) Separatory funnel, 1 liter, with TFE1 stopcock.
(ii) Glass stoppered flask, 125 ml.
(iii) Distilling flask, 125 ml.
(iv) Water bath.
(v) Filter paper, 11 cm diameter. 2
(vi) Glass funnel.
(vii) Magnetic stirrer and Teflon coated stir bar.
(2) Reagents. (i) Hydrochloric acid, HCl, 1+1.
(ii) Trichlorotrifluoroethane. 3
(1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane), boiling point 47 C. The
solvent should leave no measurable residue on evaporation; distill if
necessary. Do not use any plastic tubing to transfer solvent between
containers.
(iii) Sodium sulfate, Na2SO4, anhydrous crystal.
(iv) Silica gel, 60 to 200 mesh. 4 Dry at 110 C for 24 hours and
store in a tightly sealed container.
(3) Procedure. To determine hydrocarbon oil and grease, collect
about 1 liter of sample and mark sample level in bottle for later
determination of sample volume. Acidify to pH 2 or lower; generally, 5
ml HCl is sufficient. Transfer to a separatory funnel. Carefully rinse
sample bottle with 30 ml trichlorotrifluoroethane and add solvent
washings to separatory funnel. Preferably shake vigorously for 2
minutes. However, if it is suspected that a stable emulsion will form,
shake gently for 5 to 10 minutes. Let layers separate. Drain solvent
layer through a funnel containing solvent-moistened filter paper into a
tared clean flask. If a clear solvent layer cannot be obtained, add 1g
Na2SO4 to the filter paper cone and slowly drain emulsified solvent onto
the crystals. Add more Na2SO4 if necessary. Extract twice more with 30
ml solvent each but first rinse sample container with each solvent
portion. Combine extracts in tared flask and wash filter with an
additional 10 to 20 ml. solvent. Add 3.0 g silica gel. Stopper flask
and stir on a magnetic stirrer for 5 minutes. Filter solution through
filter paper and wash silica gel and filter paper with 10 ml solvent and
combine with filtrate in tared distilling flask. Distill solvent from
distilling flask in a water bath at 70 C. Place flask on a water bath
at 70 C for 15 minutes and draw air through it with an applied vacuum
for the final 1 minute. Cool in a desiccator for 30 minutes and weigh.
(4) Calculations -- calculation of O&G-E. If the organic solvent is
free of residue the gain in weight of the tared distilling flask is due
to hydrocarbon oil and grease. Total gain in weight, E, is the amount
of hydrocarbon oil and grease in the sample (mg):
(5) Use of O&G-E. The value, O&G-E shall be used as the measure of
compliance with the oil and grease limitations and standards set forth
in this regulation.
1Teflon or equivalent.
2Whatman No. 40 or equivalent.
3Freon or equivalent.
4Davidson Grade 950 or equivalent.
(d) The owner or operator of any canmaking facility subject to the
provisions of this regulation shall advise the permit issuing authority
or POTW authority and the EPA Office of Water Regulations and Standards,
Washington, D.C. 20460 whenever it has been decided that the plant will
manufacture cans from an aluminum alloy containing less than 1.0 percent
manganese. Such notification shall be made in writing, not less than 30
days in advance of the scheduled production and shall provide the
chemical analysis of the alloy and the expected period of use.

40 CFR 466.45 -- General Provisions
40 CFR 467.01 Applicability.
(a) Aluminum forming includes commonly recognized forming operations
such as rolling, drawing, extruding, and forging and related operations
such as heat treatment, casting, and surface treatments. Surface
treatment of aluminum is any chemical or electrochemical treatment
applied to the surface of aluminum. Such surface treatment is
considered to be a part of aluminum forming whenever it is performed as
an integral part of aluminum forming. For the purposes of this
regulation, surface treatment of aluminum is considered to be an
integral part of aluminum forming whenever it is performed at the same
plant site at which aluminum is formed and such operations are not
considered for regulation under the Electroplating and Metal Finishing
provisions of 40 CFR Parts 413 and 433. Casting aluminum when performed
as an integral part of aluminum forming and located on-site at an
aluminum forming plant is considered an aluminum forming operation and
is covered under these guidelines. When aluminum forming is performed
on the same site as primary aluminum reduction the casting shall be
regulated by the nonferrous metals guidelines if there is no cooling of
the aluminum prior to casting. If the aluminum is cooled prior to
casting then the casting shall be regulated by the aluminum forming
guidelines.
(b) This part applies to any aluminum forming facility, except for
plants identified under paragraph (c) of this section, which discharges
or may discharge pollutants to waters of the United States or which
introduces or may introduce pollutants into a publicly owned treatment
works.
(c) This part is applicable to indirect discharging aluminum forming
plants that extrude less than 3 million pounds of product per year and
draw, with emulsions or soaps, less than 1 million pounds per year.
Note: This paragraph is promulgated as an Interim Final Rule.
(48 FR 49149, Oct. 24, 1983; 49 FR 11631, Mar. 27, 1984)
40 CFR 467.02 General definitions.
In addition to the definitions set forth in 40 CFR Part 401, the
following definitions apply to this part:
(a) Aluminum forming is a set of manufacturing operations in which
aluminum and aluminum alloys are made into semifinished products by hot
or cold working.
(b) Ancillary operation is 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.
(c) Contact cooling water is any wastewater which contacts the
aluminum workpiece or the raw materials used in forming aluminum.
(d) Continuous casting is the production of sheet, rod, or other long
shapes by solidifying the metal while it is being poured through an
open-ended mold using little or no contact cooling water. Continuous
casting of rod and sheet generates spent lubricants and rod casting also
generates contact cooling water.
(e) Degassing is the removal of dissolved hydrogen from the molten
aluminum prior to casting. Chemicals are added and gases are bubbled
through the molten aluminum. Sometimes a wet scrubber is used to remove
excess chlorine gas.
(f) Direct chill casting is the pouring of molten aluminum into a
water-cooled mold. Contact cooling water is sprayed onto the aluminum
as it is dropped into the mold, and the aluminum ingot falls into a
water bath at the end of the casting process.
(g) Drawing is the process of pulling metal through a die or
succession of dies to reduce the metal's diameter or alter its shape.
There are two aluminum forming subcategories based on the drawing
process. In the drawing with neat oils subcategory, the drawing process
uses a pure or neat oil as a lubricant. In the drawing with emulsions
or soaps subcategory, the drawing process uses an emulsion or soap
solution as a lubricant.
(h) Emulsions are stable dispersions of two immiscible liquids. In
the aluminum forming category this is usually an oil and water mixture.
(i) Cleaning or etching is a chemical solution bath and a rinse or
series of rinses designed to produce a desired surface finish on the
workpiece. This term includes air pollution control scrubbers which are
sometimes used to control fumes from chemical solution baths.
Conversion coating and anodizing when performed as an integral part of
the aluminum forming operations are considered cleaning or etching
operations. When conversion coating or anodizing are covered here they
are not subject to regulation under the provisions of 40 CFR Part 433,
Metal Finishing.
(j) Extrusion is the application of pressure to a billet of aluminum,
forcing the aluminum to flow through a die orifice. The extrusion
subcategory is based on the extrusion process.
(k) Forging is the exertion of pressure on dies or rolls surrounding
heated aluminum stock, forcing the stock to change shape and in the case
where dies are used to take the shape of the die. The forging
subcategory is based on the forging process.
(l) Heat treatment is the application of heat of specified
temperature and duration to change the physical properties of the metal.
(m) Hot water seal is a heated water bath (heated to approximately
180 F) used to seal the surface coating on formed aluminum which has
been anodized and coated. In establishing an effluent allowance for
this operation, the hot water seal shall be classified as a cleaning or
etching rinse.
(n) In-process control technology is the conservation of chemicals
and water throughout the production operations to reduce the amount of
wastewater to be discharged.
(o) Neat oil is a pure oil with no or few impurities added. In
aluminum forming its use is mostly as a lubricant.
(p) Rolling is the reduction in thickness or diameter of a workpiece
by passing it between lubricated steel rollers. There are two
subcategories based on the rolling process. In the rolling with neat
oils subcategory, pure or neat oils are used as lubricants for the
rolling process. In the rolling with emulsions subcategory, emulsions
are used as lubricants for the rolling process.
(q) The term Total Toxic Organics (TTO) shall mean the sum of the
masses or concentrations of each of the following toxic organic
compounds which is found in the discharge at a concentration greater
than 0.010 mg/1:
p-chloro-m-cresol
2-chlorophenol
2,4-dinitrotoluene

endrin
endrin aldehyde
PCB-1242, 1254, 1221
PCB-1232, 1248, 1260, 1016
acenaphthene
(r) Stationary casting is the pouring of molten aluminum into molds
and allowing the metal to air cool.
(s) Wet scrubbers are air pollution control devices used to remove
particulates and fumes from air by entraining the pollutants in a water
spray.
(t) BPT means the best practicable control technology currently
available under section 304(b)(1) of the Act.
(u) BAT means the best available technology economically achievable
under section 304(b)(2)(B) of the Act.
(v) BCT means the best conventional pollutant control technology,
under section 304(b)(4) of the Act.
(w) NSPS means new source performance standards under section 306 of
the Act.
(x) PSES means pretreatment standards for existing sources, under
section 307(b) of the Act.
(y) PSNS means pretreatment standards for new sources, under section
307(c) of the Act.
(z) The production normalizing mass (/kkg) for each core or ancillary
operation is the mass (off-kkg or off-lb) processed through that
operation.
(aa) The term off-kilogram (off-pound) shall mean the mass of
aluminum or aluminum alloy removed from a forming or ancillary operation

40 CFR 467.03 Monitoring and reporting requirements.
The following special monitoring and reporting requirements apply to
all facilities controlled by this regulation.
(a) Periodic analyses for cyanide as may be required under Part 122
or 403 of this chapter are not required when both of the following
conditions are met:
(1) The first wastewater sample of each calender year has been
analyzed and found to contain less than 0.07 mg/l cyanide.
(2) The owner or operator of the aluminum forming plant certifies in
writing to the POTW authority or permit issuing authority that cyanide
is not and will not be used in the aluminum forming process.
(b) As an alternative monitoring procedure for pretreatment, the POTW
user may measure and limit oil and grease to the levels shown in
pretreatment standards in lieu of measuring and regulating total toxic
organics (TTO).
(c) The ''monthly average'' regulatory values shall be the basis for
the monthly average discharge limits in direct discharge permits and for
pretreatment standards. Compliance with the monthly discharge limit is
required regardless of the number of samples analyzed and averaged.

aluminum is the major constituent in percent by weight. Copper alloys
are defined as any alloy in which copper is the major constituent in
percent by weight except when copper is alloyed with precious metals.
Any copper-precious metal alloy containing 30 percent or greater
precious metal is considered a precious metal alloy for the purposes of
this part. Beryllium alloys are any alloy in which beryllium is present
at 0.1 percent or greater. This part applies to:
(1) Forming operations, including rolling (both hot and cold),
extruding, forging, drawing, swaging, cladding, and tube reducing, and
(2) Ancillary operations performed as an integral part of the forming
of these metals, including casting for subsequent forming, heat
treatment, surface treatment, alkaline cleaning, solvent degreasing,
product testing, surface coating, sawing, grinding, tumbling,
burnishing, and wet air pollution control.

treatment works from mechanical metal powder production operations,
forming of parts from metal powders, and associated ancillary operations
(listed in paragraph (a)(2) of this section) of:
(1) Iron, copper, and aluminum, and their alloys; and
(2) The nonferrous metals and their alloys described in paragraph (a)
of this section. This part does not regulate the production of metal
powders by chemical means such as precipitation. The production of
metal powder as the final step in refining metal is regulated under the
Nonferrous Metals Manufacturing Point Source Category regulation, 40 CFR
Part 421.
(c) Surface treatment includes any chemical or electrochemical
treatment applied to the surface of the metal. For the purposes of this
regulation, surface treatment of metals is considered to be an integral
part of the forming of metals whenever it is performed at the same plant
site at which the metals are formed. Such surface treatment operations
are not regulated under the Electroplating or Metal Finishing Point
Source Category regulations, 40 CFR Part 413 or 433, respectively.
(d) Casting is covered by this part when it is performed as an
integral part of the metal forming process and takes place at the same
plant site at which metals are formed. Such casting will not be
regulated under the provisions of Metal Molding and Casting Point Source
Category regulations, 40 CFR Part 464.
(e) This part does not apply to the forming of the metals cadmium,
chromium, gallium, germanium, indium, lithium, manganese, neodymium, or

rinse, regardless of the number of rinse stages. Each alkaline cleaning
bath and rinse combination is entitled to a discharge allowance.
(d) ''Atomization'' is the process in which a stream of water or gas
impinges upon a molten metal stream, breaking it into droplets which
solidify as powder particles.
(e) ''Burnishing'' is a surface finishing process in which minute
surface irregularities are displaced rather than removed.
(f) ''Casting'' is pouring molten metal into a mold to produce an
object of desired shape.

metal workpiece or the raw materials used in forming metals for the
purpose of removing heat from the metal.
(i) ''Continuous casting'' is the production of sheet, rod, or other
long shapes by solidifying the metal while it is being poured through an
open-ended mold.
(j) ''Degreasing'' is the removal of oils and greases from the
surface of the metal workpiece. This process can be accomplished with
detergents as in alkaline cleaning or by the use of solvents.
(k) ''Direct chill casting'' is the pouring of molten nonferrous
metal into a water-cooled mold. Contact cooling water is sprayed onto
the metal as it is dropped into the mold, and the metal ingot falls into
a water bath at the end of the casting process.
(l) ''Drawing'' is the process of pulling a metal through a die or
succession of dies to reduce the metal's diameter or alter its
cross-sectional shape.
(m) ''Dye penetrant testing'' is a nondestructive method for finding
discontinuities that are open to the surface of the metal. A dye is
applied to the surface of metal and the excess is rinsed off. Dye that
penetrates surface discontinuities will not be rinsed away thus marking
these discontinuities.
(n) ''Emulsions'' are stable dispersions of two immiscible liquids.
In the Nonferrous Metals Forming and Metal Powders Point Source
category, this is usually an oil and water mixture.
(o) ''Electrocoating'' is the electrodeposition of a metallic or
nonmetallic coating onto the surface of a workpiece.
(p) ''Extrusion'' is the application of pressure to a billet of
metal, forcing the metal to flow through a die orifice.
(q) ''Forging'' is deforming metal, usually hot, with compressive
force into desired shapes, with or without dies. Where dies are used,
the metal is forced to take the shape of the die.
(r) ''Grinding'' is the process of removing stock from a workpiece by
the use of a tool consisting of abrasive grains held by a rigid or
semi-rigid grinder. Grinding includes surface finishing, sanding, and
slicing.
(s) ''Heat treatment'' is the application of heat of specified
temperature and duration to change the physical properties of the metal.
(t) ''Hot pressing'' is forming a powder metallurgy compact at a
temperature high enough to effect concurrent sintering.
(u) ''Hydrotesting'' is the testing of piping or tubing by filling
with water and pressurizing to test for integrity.
(v) ''Impregnation'' is the process of filling pores of a formed
powder part, usually with a liquid such as a lubricant, or mixing
particles of a nonmetallic substance in a matrix of metal powder.
(w) ''In-process control technology'' is the conservation of
chemicals and water throughout the production operations to reduce the
amount of wastewater to be discharged.
(x) ''Metal powder production'' operations are mechanical process
operations which convert metal to a finely divided form.
(y) ''Milling'' is the mechanical treatment of a nonferrous metal to
produce powder, or to coat one component of a powder mixture with
another.
(z) ''Neat oil'' is a pure oil with no or few impurities added. In
nonferrous metals forming, its use is mostly as a lubricant.
(aa) ''Powder forming'' includes forming and compressing powder into
a fully dense finished shape, and is usually done within closed dies.
(bb) ''Precious metals'' include gold, platinum, palladium, and
silver and their alloys. Any alloy containing 30 or greater percent by
weight of precious metals is considered a precious metal alloy.
(cc) ''Product testing'' includes operations such as dye penetrant
testing, hydrotesting, and ultrasonic testing.
(dd) ''Refractory metals'' includes the metals of columbium,
tantalum, molybdenum, rhenium, tungsten and vanadium and their alloys.

workpiece by passing it between lubricated steel rollers.
(ff) ''Roll bonding'' is the process by which a permanent bond is
created between two metals by rolling under high pressure in a bonding
mill (co-rolling).
(gg) ''Sawing'' is cutting a workpiece with a band, blade, or
circular disc having teeth.
(hh) ''Shot casting'' is the production of shot by pouring molten
metal in finely divided streams to form spherical particles.
(ii) ''Stationary casting'' is the pouring of molten metal into molds
and allowing the metal to cool.
(jj) ''Surface treatment'' is a chemical or electrochemical treatment
applied to the surface of a metal. Such treatments include pickling,
etching, conversion coating, phosphating, and chromating. Surface
treatment baths are usually followed by a water rinse. The rinse may
consist of single or multiple stage rinsing. For the purposes of this
part, a surface treatment operation is defined as a bath followed by a
rinse, regardless of the number of stages. Each surface treatment bath,
rinse combination is entitled to discharge allowance.
(kk) ''Swaging'' is a process in which a solid point is formed at the
end of a tube, rod, or bar by the repeated blows of one or more pairs of
opposing dies.
(ll) ''Tube reducing'' is an operation which reduces the diameter and
wall thickness of tubing with a mandrel and a pair of rolls with tapered
grooves.
(mm) ''Tumbling'' or ''barrel finishing'' is an operation in which
castings, forgings, or parts pressed from metal powder are rotated in a
barrel with ceramic or metal slugs or abrasives to remove scale, fins,
or burrs. It may be done dry or with an aqueous solution.
(nn) ''Ultrasonic testing'' is a nondestructive test which applies
sound, at a frequency above about 20 HJz, to metal, which has been
immersed in liquid (usually water) to locate inhomogeneities or
structural discontinuities.

Except as provided in 40 CFR 403.7, any new source subject to this
subpart which introduces pollutants into a publicly owned treatment
works must comply with 40 CFR Part 403 and achieve the following
pretreatment standards for new sources. The mass of wastewater
pollutants in nickel-cobalt forming process wastewater introduced into a
POTW shall not exceed the following values:
(a) Rolling spent neat oils -- Subpart C -- PSNS. There shall be no
discharge of process wastewater pollutants.
(b) Rolling spent emulsions.
(c) Rolling contact cooling water.
(d) Tube Reducing Spent Lubricant -- Subpart C -- PSNS.
(1) There shall be no discharge of process wastewater pollutants
except as provided under paragraph (d)(2) of this section
(2) Process wastewater pollutants may be discharged, with no
allowance for any pollutants discharged, provided the facility owner or
operator demonstrates, on the basis of analytical methods set forth in
or approved pursuant to 40 CFR Part 136, that the concentrations of
nitrosamine compounds in the wastewater discharged from the tube
reducing process do not exceed 0.050 mg/l of N-nitrosodimethylamine,
0.020 mg/l of N-nitrosodiphenylamine, and 0.020 mg/l of
N-nitrosodi-n-propylamine.
(3) The demonstration required under subparagraph (d)(2) of this
section shall be made once per month until the demonstration has been
made for all three nitrosamine compounds for six consecutive months,
after which time the demonstration may be made once per quarter. If a
sample is found to contain any of the foregoing nitrosamine compounds at
concentrations greater than those specified in paragraph (d)(2) of this
section, the actions described in paragraph (d)(4) of this section shall
be taken, and the demonstration required under paragraph (d)(2) of this
section shall be made once per month until it has been made for all
three nitrosamine compounds for six consecutive months.
(4) If sampling results show that any of the foregoing nitrosamine
compounds is present in the process wastewater at concentrations greater
than those specified in subparagraph (d)(2) of this section, the
facility owner or operator shall ensure that, within thirty days of
receiving written notification of the sampling results, there is no
further discharge of tube reducing spent lubricant wastewater until the
owner or operator:
(i) Performs a subsequent analysis which demonstrates that the
concentrations of the foregoing nitrosamine compounds do not exceed the
levels specified in paragraph (d)(2) of this section (2); or
(ii) Substitutes a new tube reducing lubricant and thereafter
complies with the requirements of paragraph (d)(3) of this section; or
(iii) Determines the source of the pollutant whose concentration
exceeded the level specified in subparagraph (2) above and demonstrates
to the satisfaction of the POTW control authority that such source has
been eliminated.
(5) The concentration limits specified in paragraph (d)(2) of this
section apply at the point of discharge from the tube reducing process.
However, sampling after the tube reducing wastewater has been commingled
with other wastewaters is permitted if:
(i) Any dilution caused by the other wastewaters is taken into
account in determining the appropriate (i.e., lower) allowable discharge
concentration; and
(ii) An analytical method of sufficient sensitivity is used to
measure the levels of each of the foregoing nitrosamine compounds in the
wastewaters being sampled.

40 CFR 471.94 Pretreatment standards for existing sources (PSES).
Except as provided in 40 CFR 403.7 and 403.13, any existing source
subject to this subpart which introduces pollutants into a publicly
owned treatment works must comply with 40 CFR Part 403 and by August 23,
1988 achieve the following preteatment standards for existing sources
(PSES). The mass of wastewater pollutants in zirconium-hafnium forming
process wastewater introduced into a POTW shall not exceed the following
values:
(a) Rolling spent neat oils -- Subpart I -- PSES. There shall be no
discharge of process wastewater pollutants.
(b) Drawing spent lubricants -- Subpart I -- PSES. There shall be no
discharge of process wastewater pollutants.
(c) Extrusion spent emulsion -- Subpart I -- PSES. There shall be no
discharge of process wastewater pollutants.
(d) Extrusion press hydraulic fluid leakage.
(e) Swaging spent neat oils -- Subpart I -- PSES. There shall be no
discharge of process wastewater pollutants.
(f) Heat treatment contact cooling water.
(g) Tube Reducing Spent Lubricant -- Subpart I -- PSES.
(1) There shall be no discharge of process wastewater pollutants
except as provided under paragraph (g)(2) of this section.
(2) Process wastewater pollutants may be discharged, with no
allowance for any pollutants discharged, provided the facility owner or
operator demonstrates, on the basis of analytical methods set forth in
or approved pursuant to 40 CFR Part 136, that the concentrations of
nitrosamine compounds in the wastewater discharged from the tube
reducing process do not exceed 0.050 mg/l of N-nitrosodimethylamine,
0.020 mg/l of N-nitrosodiphenylamine, and 0.020 mg/l of
N-nitrosodi-n-propylamine.
(3) The demonstration required under paragraph (g)(2) of this section
shall be made once per month until the demonstration has been made for
all three nitrosamine compounds for six consecutive months, after which
time the demonstration may be made once per quarter. If a sample is
found to contain any of the foregoing nitrosamine compounds at
concentrations greater than those specified in subparagraph (g)(2) of
this section, the actions described in paragraph (g)(4) of this section
shall be taken, and the demonstration required under subparagraph (g)(2)
of this section shall be made once per month until it has been made for
all three nitrosamine compounds for six consecutive months.
(4) If sampling results show that any of the foregoing nitrosamine
compounds is present in the process wastewater at concentrations greater
than those specified in subparagraph (g)(2) of this section, the
facility owner or operator shall ensure that, within thirty days of
receiving written notification of the sampling results, there is no
further discharge of tube reducing spent lubricant wastewater until the
owner or operator:
(i) Performs a subsequent analysis which demonstrates that the
concentrations of the foregoing nitrosamine compounds do not exceed the
levels specified in paragraph (g)(2) of this section; or
(ii) Substitutes a new tube reducing lubricant and thereafter
complies with the requirements of paragraph (g)(3) of this section; or
(iii) Determines the source of the pollutant whose concentration
exceeded the level specified in paragraph (g)(2) of this section and
demonstrates to the satisfaction of the POTW control authority that such
source has been eliminated.
(5) The concentration limits specified in paragraph (g)(2) of this
section apply at the point of discharge from the tube reducing process.
However, sampling after the tube reducing wastewater has been commingled
with other wastewaters is permitted if:
(i) Any dilution caused by the other wastewaters is taken into
account in determining the appropriate (i.e., lower) allowable discharge
concentration; and
(ii) An analytical method of sufficient sensitivity is used to
measure the levels of each of the foregoing nitrosamine compounds in the
wastewaters being sampled.

(j) Alkaline cleaning spent baths.
(k) Alkaline cleaning rinse.
(l) Sawing or grinding spent emulsions.
(m) Wet air pollution control scrubber blowdown -- Subpart I -- PSES.
There shall be no allowance for the discharge or process wastewater
pollutants.
(n) Degreasing spent solvents -- Subpart I -- PSES. There shall be
no discharge of process wastewater pollutants.
(o) Degreasing rinse -- Subpart I -- PSES. There shall be no
discharge of process wastewater pollutants.
