                TITLE 40-PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENT
 
      CHAPTER I-ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (CONTINUED)
 
PART 414-ORGANIC CHEMICALS, PLASTICS, AND SYNTHETIC FIBERS--Table of Contents
 
 Subpart J-Direct Discharge Point Sources That Do Not Use End-of-
                        Pipe Biological Treatment
 
Sec. 414.101  Toxic pollutant effluent limitations and standards for direct discharge point sources that do not use end-of-pipe biological treatment.

    (a)Any point source subject to this subpart must achieve discharges 
not exceeding the quantity (mass) determined by multiplying the process 
wastewater flow subject to this subpart times the concentartions in the 
following table.
    (b) In the case of chromium, copper, lead, nickel, zinc, and total 
cyanide, the discharge quantity (mass) shall be determined by 
multiplying the concentrations listed in the following table for these 
pollutants times the flow from metal bearing waste streams for the 
metals and times the cyanide-bearing waste streams for total cyanide. 
The metal-bearing waste streams and cyanide-bearing waste streams are 
defined as those waste streams listed in Appendix A of this part, plus 
any additional OCPSF process wastewater streams identified by the 
permitting authority on a case-by-case basis as metal or cyanide bearing 
based upon a determination that such streams contain significant amounts 
of the pollutants identified above. Any such streams designated as metal 
or cyanide bearing must be treated independently of other metal or 
cyanide bearing waste streams unless the permitting authority determines 
that the combination of such streams, prior to treatment, with the 
Appendix A waste streams will result in substantial reduction of these 
pollutants. This determination must be based upon a review of relevant 
engineering, production, and sampling and analysis information.
