Sec. 437.46  Pretreatment standards for existing sources (PSES)

    (a) Except as provided in 40 CFR 403.7, 403.13 or 437.40(b), any new 
source subject to this subpart which combines treated or untreated 
wastes from subparts A, B, or C of this part may be subject to Multiple

this section if the discharger agrees to the following conditions in its 
permit:
    (1) The discharger will meet the applicable Multiple Wastestream
    Subcategory standards set forth in paragraphs (b), (c), (d) or (e) 
of this section;
    (2) The discharger will notify its local control authority of its 
desire to be subject to the Multiple Waste Subcategory by submitting to

described in Sec. 437.41(a);
    (3) The discharger will submit to its local control authority a 
periodic certification statement as described in Sec. 437.41(b) once a 
year; and
    (4) The discharger will maintain at the office of the facility and
