      CHAPTER I-ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED)
 
PART 409-SUGAR PROCESSING POINT SOURCE CATEGORY--Table of Contents
 
         Subpart C-Liquid Cane Sugar Refining Subcategory
 
Sec. 409.32  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 Sec.Sec. 125.30 through 
125.32, any existing point source subject to this subpart shall 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) Any liquid cane sugar refinery discharging both barometric 
condenser cooling water and other process waters shall meet the 
following limitations. The BOD5 limitation is determined by the addition 
of the net BOD5 attributed to the barometric condenser cooling water to 
that amount of BOD5 attributed to the treated process water. The TSS 
limitation is that amount of TSS attributed to the treated process 
water. Where the barometric condenser cooling water and process water 
streams are mixed and impossible to measure separately prior to 
discharge, the values should be considered net.
