Sec. 430.26 Pretreatment standards for existing sources (PSES).
Except as provided in 40 CFR 403.7 and 403.13, any existing source
subject to this subpart that introduces pollutants into a publicly owned
treatment works must comply with 40 CFR part 403 and must achieve the
following pretreatment standards for existing sources (PSES).
(a)(1) The following pretreatment standards apply with respect to
each fiber line operated by an indirect discharger subject to this
section, unless the indirect discharger discloses to the pretreatment
control authority in a report submitted under 40 CFR 403.12(b) that it
uses exclusively TCF bleaching processes at that fiber line. These
pretreatment standards must be attained on or before April 16, 2001:

\a\ ``b This regulation does not specify this type of limitation for this pollutant; however, pretreatment control
authorities may do so as appropriate.
(b) The following pretreatment standards apply to all indirect
dischargers, in accordance with the previous subcategorization scheme.
An indirect discharger is not required to meet these pretreatment
standards if it certifies to the pretreatment control authority that it
is not using these compounds as biocides. In cases when POTWs find it
necessary to impose mass effluent limitations, equivalent mass
limitations are provided as guidance:
