    (3) See the comprehensive example in subpart D, Sec. 
419.42(b)(3).
    (c) The provisions of Sec. 419.12(c) apply to discharges 
of process wastewater pollutants attributable to ballast water by a 
point source subject to the provision of this subpart.
    (d) 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.
    (e) 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 practicable control technology currently available 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 15 mg/l oil and grease and 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 15 mg/l oil and grease or 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 judgment
  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.
\2\ Within the range of 6.0 to 9.0.
