(e) Pursuant to 40 CFR 122.44(i) and 122.45(h), a discharger must
demonstrate compliance with the limitations in paragraph (b)(1) or
(c)(1) of this section, as applicable, by monitoring for all pollutants
(except for AOX, COD, BOD5, TSS, and pH) at the point where the
wastewater containing those pollutants leaves the bleach plant. The
permitting authority may impose effluent limitations and/or monitoring
requirements on internal wastestreams for any other pollutants covered
in this section as appropriate under 40 CFR 122.44(i) and 122.45(h). In
addition, a discharger subject to a limitation on total pulping area
condensate, evaporator condensate, and bleach plant wastewater flow
under paragraph (c)(2) of this section must demonstrate compliance with
that limitation by establishing and maintaining flow measurement
equipment monitoring these flows at the point or points where they leave
the pulping area, evaporator area, and the bleach plant.
