    (c) The following allocations constitute the quantity and quality of 
pollutants or pollutant properties controlled by this paragraph and 
attributable to ballast, which may be discharged after the application 
of best practicable control technology currently available, by a point 
source subject to this subpart, in addition to the discharge allowed by 
paragraph (b) of this section. The allocation allowed for ballast water 
flow, as kg/cu m (lb/Mgal), shall be based on those ballast waters 
treated at the refinery.
