Sec. 423.17  Pretreatment standards for new sources (PSNS).

    Except as provided in 40 CFR 403.7, any new source subject to this 
subpart part which introduces pollutants into a publicly owned treatment 
works must comply with 40 CFR part 403 and the following pretreatment 
standards for new sources (PSNS).
    (a) There shall be no discharge of polychlorinated biphenyl 
compounds such as those used for transformer fluid.
    (b) The pollutants discharged in chemical metal cleaning wastes 
shall not exceed the concentration listed in the following table:

 maintenance, except:
  Chromium, total..............................            0.2

    (2) At the permitting authority's discretion, instead of the 
monitoring in 40 CFR 122.11(b), compliance with the limitations for the 
126 priority pollutants in paragraph (d)(1) of this section may be 
determined by engineering calculations which demonstrate that the 
regulated pollutants are not detectable in the final discharge by the 
analytical methods in 40 CFR part 136.
    (e) There shall be no discharge of wastewater pollutants from fly 
ash transport water.
