(c)(1) In addition to the provisions contained above pertaining to
COD, ammonia and sulfide, 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
available technology economically achievable (BAT):
(i) For each of the regulated pollutant parameters listed below, the
effluent limitation for a given refinery is the sum of the products of
each effluent limitation factor times the applicable process feedstock
rate, calculated as provided in 40 CFR 122.45(b). Applicable production
processes are presented in appendix A, by process type. The process
identification numbers presented in this appendix A are for the
convenience of the reader. They can be cross-referenced in the
Development Document for Effluent Limitations Guidelines, New Source
Performance Standards, and Pretreatment Standards for the Petroleum
Refining Point Source Category (EPA 440/1-82/014), Table III-7, pp. 49-
54.

(2) See the comprehensive example in subpart D, Sec.
419.43(c)(2).
(d) The provisions of Sec. 419.13(d) apply to discharges
of process wastewater pollutants attributable to ballast water by a
point source subject to the provisions of this subpart.
(e) The quantity and quality of pollutants or pollutant properties
controlled by this paragraph, attributable to once-through cooling
water, are excluded from the discharge allowed by paragraph (b) of this
section. Once-through cooling water may be discharged with a total
organic carbon concentration not to exceed 5 mg/l.
(f) Effluent limitations for contaminated runoff. The following
effluent limitations constitute the quantity and quality of pollutants
or pollutant properties controlled by this paragraph and attributable to
contaminated runoff, which may be discharged after the application of
the best available technology economically achievable by a point source
subject to this subpart.
(1) If wastewater consists solely of contaminated runoff and is not
commingled or treated with process wastewater, it may be discharged if
it does not exceed 110 mg/l total organic carbon (TOC) based upon an
analysis of any single grab or composite sample.
(2) If contaminated runoff is commingled or treated with process
wastewater, or if wastewater consisting solely of contaminated runoff
which exceeds 110 mg/l TOC is not commingled or treated with any other
type of wastewater, the quantity of pollutants discharged shall not
exceed the quantity determined by multiplying the flow of contaminated
runoff as determined by the permit writer times the concentrations
listed in the following table:

\1\ In any case in which the applicant can demonstrate that the chloride
ion concentration in the effluent exceeds 1,000 mg/l (1,000 ppm), the
permitting authority may substitute TOC as a parameter in lieu of COD.
A TOC effluent limitation shall be based on effluent data from the
particular refinery which correlates TOC to BOD5. If in the judgement
of the permitting authority, adequate correlation data are not
available, the effluent limitations for TOC shall be established at a
ratio of 2.2 to 1 to the applicable effluent limitations for BOD5
